Hello just got a PM from Myrninsbitch asking me to kill Shane and I said I'll only do it if she gives me a good idea about how to kill him – and she did. And here it is! Taa dahh! (That was terrible ) In a sense, you could say that this chapter is dedicated to Myrninsbitch.

Here we go…

(Amelie's POV)

Claire is going to be out for another week before she can even start to think again, that was such a waste of brilliance in that girl, and I'll never understand why Shane attacked Claire – I mean, aren't they supposed to be deep in love? I know that I should question the boy but right now I've got a ton of things to do, one of which includes Oliver taking me for a meal – discreetly, of course. I don't know what I would do if someone found out, though I'd expect that no matter what, Oliver would be there to defend my honour, as he always is.

I was kneeling beside Claire's bed, pondering the things that she has done for this town – for me. Ever since she lied to me about the book, she has done everything she could possibly do for this town, and most people (humans especially) hate it. Hate her.

Maybe that's what happened here with Shane then, seeing as he, after all, is against every single thing about the vampires, and then in comes Claire, saving us from our near death. I'll never understand what we did to deserve – I really and truly don't.

I love Claire like I would for a daughter, I don't know why exactly, so don't bother asking, but I do – I admire her, in a way, I admire her for her courage and her unwavering strength, and…

I regret ordering – no wait, that's not the right word here – forcing Myrnin to go and kill that Collins boy.

Or I did.

But I don't have the heart to argue with myself, not after the terrible ordeal that has just occurred that is Claire's most likely death.

I hate that I wasn't there to protect her – I absolutely hate it. Though if I had…then wouldn't that make Claire resent me even further, because I would probably end up killing Shane for attempting to kill Claire.

Argh! All this arguing is giving me a headache!

Sighing, I stood up and placed a light, feathery kiss on top of Claire's forehead, "Don't worry Claire," I soothe her in her worst nightmare.

As soon as I placed one foot outside of Claire's ward, my phone beeped, alerting me something to do with this insufferable technology nowadays…what is it called again? Texting?

You have 10 missed calls from Michael Glass, Hannah Moses and Steve Welmer.

Ah, what is it that Steve wants for me now, I wonder? I skip through all the missed calls until I come to the text:

Amelie – come quick! I think that Eve is trying to kill Shane—

~Hannah Moses – chief police

I immediately took of down the long, unending hallway until I come across Shane's ward where he is being held until I find a decent death sentence – one preferably that I like, and not one where I am forced to because otherwise I'll be accused of favourism *cough, cough, Oliver, cough, cough*.

I open the door and prepare to find my worst nightmare come true…

(Hannah's POV)

It was chaos, to say the least. People were running all around the ward, either coming to attack Shane, or going to protect because I gather that Amelie doesn't want him dead. At least not yet.

I don't know why Shane would attack Claire though – and I'm sure that that knowledge has startled a lot of people. I and Amelie included.

I have tried to call Amelie, but to no avail – I wonder what has been keeping, she normally isn't this long, though she has been longer, I must say.

Eve looks like she is ready to kill someone, and I don't blame her, nor do I really care – but I know that sometimes this job gets truly unpleasant, and that is one of those times, unfortunately.

This is going to spark a war, I just know and feel it – and I have the feeling that it's not going to be pretty. But then, why would it? Duh, it's Morganville!

A war without Claire, though… I don't know who'll win, but my instincts tell me that we'll finally be free from Morganville, so I'm guessing that the vampires loose.

I don't actually know how it happened, and why it did – not the war, for that was bound to be coming sooner or later, though I'd rather later, but Claire's lethal injury.

They won't even tell me what's wrong with her, I don't think that they actually know, even the trained staff in the hospital. I mean, I know that she's on life-support, but I don't know why, and I don't even know what Shane hit her with, either.

Shane's not cooperating, and now with all this crowd suddenly gathering, I think that the war has already sparked…

I see Eve looking at Shane – no, looking at me, and I'm gathering that she thinks I'm on his side, but I'm not.

She's charging across the room, ignoring the shouts of protest from all the other people around us, it's just her and me now. Her and me.

She whacks me around the head with a gigantic stick, and as I fall to the floor the words come back to me.

It's a great big fire now.

And then blackness engulfs me.

(Myrnin's POV)

I was tinkering with a little machinery and thinking about Claire and the way she had kissed me…and that was it. That was the last normal thing I'll be doing, ever.

My phone rang; I chose to ignore it, seeing as it's going to be the sales person who has been ringing me for the last ten minutes and I have had I with all this constant noise! I haven't even been able to conjure Claire up in my head, because that disrespectful, lowlife phone has been annoying me far too much!

Finally, I could not take it anymore – I looked up at the caller idea, it read:

You have an incoming call from Amelie.

I scoffed, and then immediately regretted it; Amelie wouldn't call me unless it was an extremely dire situation.

"What?" I asked Amelie in a stressed out tone, too preoccupied to care with my usual banter of craziness.

Over the phone, I could hear muffled sounds – though those sounds spoke all the words in creation. There was a fight, no a war on…but because of what? And whom did it involve?

"Myrnin, I need you. Now!" The phone abruptly cut off, leaving me in a daze about wondering what the hell was going on.

I suddenly changed my attitude into that one of a solider – someone who knows what they are talking about, and don't hesitate, not for one second. And we all know that there is no one better at doing that job than Myrnin Conwy.

Then, something came through the letterbox that Claire made me get. That forced a smile out of me – no matter how small – at thinking about my little bird and wondering whether she got the news about the whole 'War' subject.

I picked up the object, it was a small newspaper and I was going to dump it on the floor, had my super eyesight not picked up on the black heading on the front:

Humans Now Awaken

I was more than interested to see what was so frightfully brilliant about this animalistic race, but what I read next made my heart stop (well, that is if I had one).

Local college student, Claire Danvers, has been the spark of a newly bred type of humans and vampires alike. War.

It all started late last night when she came back from visiting her vampire boss and good friend, Myrnin Conwy. Claire was then attacked at her own house, the Glass House, by her boyfriend – Shane Collins.

I growled at this, but forced myself to continue – wondering whether it would shed some light about the war.

Claire is currently at the hospital and is on life-support system, that being the only thing able to keep her alive.

The Founder, Amelie, has stated that she has been thinking of turning Claire into one of the Dark Side, and now she has the perfect opportunity to.

Eve Rosser and Michael Glass, other residents of the Glass House and two people who had witnessed the attack on Claire Danvers, have said that Shane needs to "grow up and get a life, otherwise he's always going to be known as the stupid bastard that attacked a perfectly normal teenage girl – and his girlfriend, at that.

This has been the spark of war, a war between both humans and vampires that will span for centuries now. But the only question is: Who will survive?

(If you want further information, try contacting Hannah Moses – chief of police – to allow you to either answer your questions, or, if you have any need to, go and visit Shane Collins who is now going to be executed at dawn tomorrow – by being drained of blood.)

I put the paper down, and paused for a moment, trying to let it all sink in, and then I went savage – but skipped past the bit where I would normally have attacked myself. No. This time, I decided to go and pay Shane Collins a friendly visit…

Whoa! Sorry, but a just couldn't force myself to continue – and I have done two chapters in one night, thanks to Myrninsbitch. Pleas review and enlighten me about your ideas about what Myrnin's going to do to Shane, I've got a good one, but if anyone can sway me, then I'll do a oneshot for them.

Actually, whoever reviews – I'll do an oneshot on Morganville Vampires (whatever you want) for you. If you review. I'm bored – that's why!

L8rs,
