I need to get to the lab without Eve or Michael finding out I realise. Dam I thought, this would be hard. How would I get pass them? I would have to take the portal; no way would they let me out the door. I got dress quickly in black cargo, a grey top and a black hoodie. Good for sneaking I think. I hide a steak and a silver knife in my pockets; its not much but it's all I can fit in my pockets. I grab my phone. I take I picture of the scan, to show Frank; I might have to tell him everything. I open my door and walk down the hall to the stairs. I carry my shoes, but Michael still hears me. I hear him tell Eve something then Eve shouts "you okay Claire?". I shout back that I'm going to get a drink of water and run down the stairs as if to go to the kitchen. I open the portal. I heard Michael say something, then he's running down the stairs. "why on earth are you opening the portal? Claire answer me!" he shouts. Eve following running at human sped. Shit, I think as I dive though the portal. I close it behind me.

I look around the dark, I see the computer glowing in the distance and the ghost like hologram of Frank Collins. "Explain now" his creepy voice echoes from the computer. I take out my phone as a touch, find a rock to sit on and start talking. He listens nodding. At the end he looks proud, which sickens me. "my son, holding his own against a vampire" he said arrogantly "I tought him well". "I wouldn't call child abuse teaching!" I snap back. "Anyway, someone is running this website, blocked from the vampires. I surprised you can see it, then again not many know about you." I say "when Ameile finds out she'll go crazy. You know if Shane still in the middle of this she'll kill him". Frank face drops.

"your right Claire" he says shaking his head "there something else you want to tell me. What happen between you and my son?". I sigh, "I pregnant, so now you know". "oh" says Frank "unplanned? I'm sorry". I'm taken aback by this. "I mean, this isn't the best town for kids and Shane being in this fight club isn't the best timing". "very true" I reply, "do you want to see a picture from the scan". "no thanks" he answers, "I saw you take a picture of it anyway". I nod, "can I go home now?". Frank nods and a portal opens. Michael looks through at the computer and ghost of Frank. His voice shakes as he shouts Eve. Busted I think as he reaches to pull me through. He shoves me to the sofa, Eve shouts at him to be careful. He shakes his head, "explain Claire! Please explain! I've spent the last hour driving around town looking for you. You were in Myrnin basement talking to Frank Collins freaking ghost!". Eve looks between us confused then says, "this should be good, I'll make popcorn".

I start by explaining that Frank isn't dead but in Myrnin computer. That it was a secret I hadn't risks telling anyone. Then I explain that he called me. I tell them I told him everything. "what even, you know" Eve asks nodding at my stomach. "yes, Eve, he knows I'm pregnant" I nod back, "what on earth should we do next?" I ask. Michael sighs and Eve shrugs. "I'm pregnant, I haven't got time to wait to see how this plays out!"

We sit in silence for a few minutes. Then I remember seeing sticky Doug on the lists of past fights "sticky Doug was one of the fighters" I say. "who?" ask Eve. "the guy I found, do you remember. Well he was trying to sneak vampire blood from class. Jason told me bishop killed him". Eve eyes open wide "when did you see Jason?" she asks. "Emm a while ago, sorry Eve, he been arrested" Eve shouts back "and when were you going to tell me this?". "Sorry" I say, "I couldn't, I promise Myrnin I wouldn't tell anyone. He killed someone Eve".

"Nice to know where your loyalties lie" she yells as she storms upstairs. Michael goes to follow her, but she cries at him to leave her alone. He sits back next to me. "I'm sorry" I whisper to Michael. He sighs. I feel like everything is falling down around me. I lay on my left side and close my eyes. I pull my legs up and curl up. Michael puts a blanket around me. I pretend to sleep. He starts playing the guitar. Soon I am asleep for real.
