I don't own Morganville.
Claire's pov
I woke up early and Myrnin wasn't there. I panicked until I found the note he had left me. Apparently he left early so he wouldn't have to struggle with saying goodbye. Yes it was dramatic but it felt so damned hard. I contemplated trying to sleep all day so it would go faster but that would defeat the purpose.
So I got up and forced myself to do what I used to. Get a shower, get dressed, drink coffee. Everything I used to do in the past. Trying to force myself back into a semi routine.
I cooked breakfast and eventually the others came down. I was quiet I realized that I should force myself to join the chatter. Finally I did and it felt a little less suffocating. The boys left for work and the minute the door closed Eve was asking questions.
"Claire I'm worried please talk to me." She finally said. I didn't know how to without sounding horrid. Finally I pushed myself to explain how I couldn't stand being away from Myrnin.
"Claire that's normal considering you both almost lost each other... but he's right it isn't good and we need to break the habit. Ok so we need to find things to do that you will find fun. Then once you get past today you will see you can do it and it will be ok." Eve said reassuring me.
"Come on we are getting dressed up." She said pulling my arm. I was confused but did as she said. When she was done I studied myself in the mirror.
"Well I look good but why did we get dressed up its not like I can go anywhere right now." I pointed out. Her grin didn't falter. "That's where your wrong C.B."
"I happen to have a car that is basically vampire proof in the back. I also happen to know a place that you will enjoy and it is vampire accessible." She said. This had me curious but she wouldn't tell me.
We had been driving for twenty minutes. "Oh come on Eve just give me a hint." I pleaded. My lip jetted out in a pout which she couldn't see. I was in the back and Eve had made it well vamp friendly.
The windows were blacked out back here and she had installed a black curtain of sorts that blocked the back from any sun that may enter the front. "Chill Claire we are almost there." She said. Five minutes later and I felt the car stop.
She opened the curtain laughing as I dived down. "We are underground." She said ammused. I sat up to see we were in a underground parking lot.
"Where?" I asked wanting to know now. She winked, but didn't give a answer. Instead she jumped out of the car.
I scrambled after her. The closer we got I heared music. "Um please tell me you didn't take me to a club it's like only three." I said hoping I was wrong.
"Of course not Claire. Though I will say it's never to early to party." She replied. Soon we reached a big door.
She opened it waiting for me. "I thought you said it wasn't a club?" I said before entering the smoke filled room. "That's because this is not a club."
She said leading me to a counter. "It's a bar and restaurant." She said grabbing two menus. She led me to a table.
I looked around it was dark and they had rave music blaring. The walls had colorful glowing images all over. There were strobe lights and then I found the source of the smoke. People sat in groups around tables smoking hookah.
"Isn't it early for this?" I asked. "Nope never to early trust me we have a few drinks, eat, relax and then we will go to see a movie! Trust me you will have fun but stop with all the questions."
"Ok?" She said. She was beaming so how could I say no. A man came by and I had to fight not to freak out. He had spike implants in his head and tattoos covered almost all of the skin that was exposed.
"Hey Eve you brought a friend." He said smiling nicely. "Hey Dragon yeah this is Claire. I'm trying to get her to loosen up and have fun."
Eve told him. I scowled but dropped it after a second. "Cool, so what do you ladies want?" He asked.
Eve ordered my drink for me as I didn't know much about alcohol. I ordered a rare steak burger and Eve ordered a bacon burger. The man came back with to huge glasses of some kind of blue slushy looking liquid. It had fruit on top and a straw.
"Two Blue Hawaii's." The guy Dragoon said. "Your food will be done soon enjoy your drink." With that he left.
I eyed it cautiously. It looked good finally I took a sip. My eyes widened and I looked up Eve was watching she winked. "Good right?" She asked.
I nodded taking another sip. It was good indeed. "It's a good thing your a vamp because you would be drunk already if you weren't you had such low tolerance." She joked I playfully smacked her arm.
"Ladies here you go. Holler if you need anything else." He said leaving after we thanked him. I took a bite and moaned almost at how good it tasted.
Soon I was indeed having fun as we chatted and ate. I finished my drink without realizing it. I stared at the empty glass sadly. "I'll go order two more." Eve said getting up.
She was back with the drinks. I drank it. I wasn't drunk by the time we left but I did feel nice I wasn't sure how many drinks I drank. Tipsy I think that's what it's called. I thought to myself.
"Eve what time is it?" I whined. "Don't worry Claire suns down now we can see the movie. Eve was sober as she only drank one and half of the other she said since she was driving.
She pulled up at the movie theatre and we went in.
Myrnin's pov
"Relax." I told myself as I paced. It was so hard to focus on getting anything done. I had received a text from the Eve girl.
She said she was taking Claire out to help her have fun. I was glad but worried also. My mind conjured up a million possible problems that could occur. Finally I forced myself to sit down in front of my newest invention.
I was building a device for Amelie. It was supposed to be able to open a portal anywhere the wielder wished. So I had to make it small and portable. I had to admit a portable portal would be useful.
So it wasn't lack of interest it was just my wandering brain that delayed me. I forced myself to focus.
Finally I had made some improvement though it still wasn't right. I had watched as a book I threw through it disentegrated. As it hit the living room of the Glass house. I would have to work on that.
But I knew it basically worked I just had little adjustments to make. I put the gadget away and checked the clock. It was nine at night now. I decided to go home so I used the regular portal.
When I stepped through Micheal was studying the pile of dust. "I'll clean it." I offered feeling a bit guilty. "Do I want to know what that is?"
He asked as if worried. I told him as I swept it up. "Hey do you know where Eve and Claire are?" He asked me.
"Yeah Eve took Claire out for fun... though I haven't a clue where." I said while dumping the dust in the trash can. "I tried to call but couldn't get a hold of them." Micheal said.
My panick picked up and we both started trying to get a hold of our girls. There was no answer. Micheal grabbed his keys and we rushed to the car. Where could they be?
