Hey everyone! We have a new and awesome reviewer – Libertied Insanity!
So, 4 day weekend at school. No school tomorrow – Teacher Training – the usual Saturday and Sunday, then Bank Holiday Monday! So I found time to write a little update :) x
Oh, just quickly, wanted to explain about Harry Potter. Skip if you want *audience runs from computer*. We had an assembly today, and the scene where Malfoy calls Hermione a mudblood was included. Also, I'm obsessed with Harry Potter, so it has a quick mention in this chappie :)
Myrnin's POV
For Claire's sake, I restrained myself from jumping out and attacking the boy.
I was most definitely disabling Frank once I found a suitable replacement! My blood boiled from the use of that word again. I remember seeing a film that Claire brought to entertain me. It was something like Garry Potters. There was a scene where a blond boy called the smart girl (who reminded me of Claire somehow) a mudblood, because she was a witch but her parents weren't. Mudblood is just like fangbanger, really. They are both nasty terms for people who associate with certain species. To quote the girl "It isn't a term one usually hears in civilised conversation.".
Once we had heard enough, we returned to the lab, and I phoned Amelie to tell her our findings.
After telling her absolutely everything I could remember (which was everything. I have quite an extraordinary memory you know) she spoke, "So, Shane needs to be stopped, and we need to find out why Eve has been spared."
"Yes, yes, but we also need to protect Claire!" I half-wailed in response.
"Myrnin, at the minute, a single human is not a priority!"
"But-" I began to protest.
"Myrnin," she cut me off sharply, "We need to think about what damage could become of the pieces, by using the pawns."
"This is not a time for chess strategy!"
"Actually Mynin, I think you'll find it is the perfect opportunity."
Eve's POV
Shane had a manic grin on his face.
Oh damn, damn, damn, damn! What had I just done?! I had the absolute perfect husband! And I just cheated. Perfect husband, terrible wife. I am his wife. His wife. As in, his wife! No, no, no, no, no, no! Part of me wanted Shane a little bit, but part of me wanted Michael. What had Michael done to deserve this? What could I do now? This was all a mess – my life was a mess, my lovelife was a mess, Morganville was generally a mess, everything was a mess.
Trying to overcome the guilt, I thought of something else. Something that was an even stronger emotion.
I thought of Claire, and I became angry. Why had I believed her? Then again, why did I believe Shane? Maybe I should tell Michael about Claire. Now I had that guilty feeling again.
Part of me was saying Michael will get over it. When you die, he will keep on living anyway. You are doing him a favour. Admit it, you love Shane.
Another part of me nagged Michael did nothing to deserve this! Why Shane anyway? Compared to Michael the rock-god what is Shane?
That annoying voice continued Michael may be a rock-god, but Shane is full of excitement and fun and danger. He doesn't come with fangs, either.
The internal war kept going on in my head until Shane spoke to me.
Shane's POV
Don't get me wrong, that was fun. In quite a few ways. I kinda liked Eve. Also, now I had something on her. Well, I did save her from kidnap. I can have some fun now.
I didn't tell anyone, but I actually kept one of the cameras Crazy Kim used. Y'know, just for some personal spying etc. I had been planning to use it in the lab for proof that Claire was cheating with that lunatic, but I broke up with her before I had the opportunity. Right now, it was positioned so it had a clear view of the couch…
Claire's POV
I was getting more frightened by the minute. Myrnin was right; Shane wasn't the same Shane I once knew. He would not forgive me that I was with Myrnin. Even though I never cheated on Shane, this would "prove" his suspicions.
Please keep me safe, Myrnin. Please keep me safe.
That was my last thought before I fell asleep, or more accurately, was knocked out.
Myrnin's POV
After finishing my conversation with Amelie, I decided it was up to me, and me only, to protect my little bird.
It was around that time I heard another heartbeat in my laboratory.
Claire!
Thoughts?
So, who do you think has Claire? Will Myrnin save her in time? I personally think it's red-eyed Myrnin time! Like a vampire in shining (not silver though) armour.
Know it's short but will try and update soon.
Review please! X
