CPOV

Oh my God! Shane Collins has found me. Before I knew it I had run over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, crying into his muscular shoulder.

Still holding me around the waist, he walked over to the bed and sat down, pulling me onto his lap, stoking my hair until I calmed down.

I finally looked at him and asked the most idiotic thing on my mind. "So, what's new with you?"

He let put a small chuckle before answering my question.

"Well, right after you disappeared from school, my mum was murdered by a vamp," I gasped but he just continued as if he hadn't heard me, "so dad, Alyssa and I left Morganville, but he became an abusive drunk. I didn't really give a shit about him hitting me 'cause I just hit back, but when he raised a hand to Lyss, I lost it and I beat the life out of him. Literally."

I felt more tears stream down my face. I can't believe he has been through that. It is not something I would wish on anyone. I took his hand in mine and gave it a light squeeze. He let out a long breath and started to talk again.

"Anyway, me and Lyss are now back in this hellhole, so I met up with Michael Glass, um remember him?" I nodded. "Yeah, well he is working for the Founder in some way, so he brought me to this club for some fun. This is our first time here in 'Nightmares Bite', here for us both."

I gave him a weak smile as he asked, "So what's new with you?" He had a cheeky smile on his lips.

"Well, I left school 'cause Oliver, my Patron, thought it might be too much stress for the baby. I had a baby girl and I named her Lexi. She is my world. Now I work here and that is pretty much my story."

"Claire, what exactly is your job here?"

"I'm a stripper that pleases anyone that comes to my room." This answer had been drilled into my mind so often that I could now say it without hesitation.

"But Claire, why do you work here? Why does Oliver allow you to work here? Your 16!" he asked angrily.

I simply looked at him for a few seconds wondering why he was so upset with this.

"I work here because Oliver wants me to and it's his club. I was already 'broken in' when I moved in with him." I stated using air quotes to exaggerate my point. "He said someone called him and told him of my situation." I had a bitter tine in my voice but I didn't care. If I ever found out who called him and sent me into this life, I would kill them.

"I called him so he could protect you! Not so he could turn you into some filthy whore!"

I stood up quickly feeling both anger and betrayal. "You're the one who called him? I whispered.

"Get out!"

"Claire wait, I didn't mean-"

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM SHANE COLLINS!" I didn't even wait to see him leave, I just needed comfort and there was only one person who could give that to me right now.

I stormed out of my room and went to find Oliver.

I soon found him by the bar schmoozing with some other important vamps.

"Oliver? Can I talk to you quickly?"

He took one look at me, grabbed my arm and towed me to his office. He shoved me inside, slammed the door and locked it.

"Why the FUCK do you look like a piece of SHIT?" he demanded. I whimpered slightly but I managed to stutter out "Sh...Shane Collins is...is here."

"Where?" His eyes were glowing red.

"He was in my r...room. I told him to leave, I swear I did." I was practically begging him to believe me.

After looking at me for a few minutes, he sighed and blinked. I watched his eyes slowly turn back to their original colour and he took a step towards me. He pulled me into a hug which calmed me down a little bit, but not much.

He put his fingers underneath my chin and spoke in a soft voice, "I want you to have your break now. Go see Lexi, calm yourself down and clean your face up. Its 5pm now, and you have a client at 9pm. You need to be back for that ok?

I nodded my head and whispered a thank you before turning and leaving his office.

I finally reached my bedroom door, pilled the key out of my bag and unlocked it. As soon as it was shut behind me, a two year old bundled into me hugging my legs.

"Mummy!" I bent down and picked her up, placing her on my hip.

"Well, look who is happy to see me," I stated and I started to tickle her. She screamed in delight as she tried to get away from my hand.

I put her on the bed telling her to pick a movie whilst I clean my face. I went into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I was a mess. No wonder Oliver was mad I was walking around in his club looking like this.

I grabbed my make up remover and took it all off, then carefully reapplied it. I walked back into my bedroom and sat down on my bed. Lexi quickly put the DVD in the player and crawled up next to me.

I looked down at my baby, she was perfect. The film she had chosen was her favourite, The Little Mermaid, no surprises there then – it was her favourite film. Just before the film finished, Lexi had fallen asleep in my arms.

I smiled at her, then looked at my clock. It was half 8 already. I sighed as I untangled my arms from my child so I could reach my appointment in time. I left Lexi a small note so she wouldn't worry where I was.

Lexi,

I had to back to work baby. I have locked the door from the outside but double check that it is still locked please baby.

I will be back soon.

I love you so much,

Mummy XOXOXOXOXOX

I left the note on the pillow next to her head and ran to work. I got into the club at 10 to 9, enough time to pop a pill and dance for a bit.

Soon I saw Oliver walk towards me with a vamp grinning beside him. I smiled sexily as they approached.

"You look better. Lexi ok?" asked Oliver. I nodded glancing at him before looking back at the guest. "Good. Now, Claire this is Bishop, your 9o'clock. Bishop this is Claire, our finest worker."

The vamp named Bishop extended his hand, "Nice to meet you Claire. You are beautiful by the way."

I took his hand nodding my head in thanks. I softly started to lead him to my room when I heard Oliver's voice in my head. Make sure to give him pleasure as well as business Claire. I nodded once so he could see I understood his comment.

Once in the room I backed him to the bed as I started to kiss his neck, slowly making my way up to his lips.

"What do you want me to do for you?" I whispered against his lips. He chuckled before telling me to dance.

"Certainly" I said and pushed his shoulders hard so that he fell onto the bed. I stood above him with one leg either side of his hips as I slowly started to sway my hips from side to side.

I stroked up my inner thigh and I heard a growl from Bishops throat. His hands caressed his hands up my calf muscles until he reached the backs of me knees. He pulled his hands forwards causing me to fall down onto my knees with a gasp.

Using his vampire speed he flipped up over and stripped his clothes and mine within 10 seconds. Granted that mine were torn off so they were now in shreds. If felt him enter me forcefully causing me to gasp in pain instead of pleasure.

"Bishop, please slow down, you're hurting me." I whimpered.

He carried on thrusting in me murmuring that pain was all part of his fun. As he said this, his fangs slowly came into view.

I started to panic as he lowered his mouth to my neck kissing my pulse there. Oliver was against letting vampires bite his employees, so I reached for the emergency button beside the bed that warns Oliver when we are in trouble.

Just as my finger pressed on the button, he sank his fangs into my neck. I screamed as the pain took over, I started to see stars as he drank.

I heard the door slam open and felt someone rip Bishop off of my body before darkness came over me.

Sorry for not updating sooner, I actually have no excuse. Hope this makes up for it :D please r&r xx
