Chapter 10 Morganville Vampires!

Claire's P.O.V

Carrie had told me everything that had happened I cant believe Shane had once again screwed up. The amount of times he has let Carrie down is now is unbelievable, and i'm not surprised if Carrie doesn't ever speak to him again. Carrie will only take so much from a person...depending on who it is.
'Are you okay?' I asked her.
She sighed 'I guess I'm used to it now. And I'm quite proud of myself for throwing tomatoes at Anna.'
'You threw tomato's at Anna?' Myrnin asked her.
She nodded her head 'Yer, the first one missed but the second one got her right on her chest. The best thing was she was wearing a white top'.
'My Claire you have created a very magnificent human' Myrnin smiled.
'Thank you Myrnin' I said.
'I mean throwing tomato's at a random person-'
'Actually it wasn't a random person' Carrie interrupted.
'Really? Then who was it?' He questioned her.
'It was Anna Slutson' Carrie answered.
Myrnin looked at me 'Anna Slutson?'
I rolled my eyes 'She means Anna Hudson, its the girl Shane has married recently. Carrie just calls her that because...well-'
'Because she is a slut' Carrie finished.
'Oh...I see' Myrnin said he then started laughing. I blinked and then frowned, this is like one of the first times Myrnin has ever laughed at...a joke before.
'Claire not only have you created a very magnificent human, she is rather funny too' Myrnin laughed.
'Yer thanks... shouldn't you be carrying on with your work?' I asked him.
He stopped laughing 'Right yes, sorry'. He began to get on with his work again. I turned back to Carrie.
'So Shane didnt say anything?' I asked her.
'No he didnt, doesn't really surprise me though' She says.
'Oh...well dont worry okay?' I asked her.
'I wont, i'm used to it now.' She said, right then I heard Myrnin laugh again. I looked at him and noticed he was giggling away to himself.
'Something funny Myrnin?' I asked him.
He looked at me 'Yes...Anna Slutson'.
I rolled him eyes and smiled 'Continue with your work'. Myrnin nodded and got on with his work again.
'So...what happened when you through the tomato at her?' I asked her.
Carrie thought for a moment 'I walked away from them both. I went home but then i realised you had work so I thought I would come here'.
Myrnin smiled as he checked the time 'Oh my Claire as much as I love to listen to you and your...-'
'Daughter?' I suggested.
'Daughter, I believe its the end of your hours, you may go home now' He told me.
'Well...why dont we stay longer?' Carrie suggested.
'You would do that?' He asked me.
I looked form him to Carrie 'Why dont I order some pizza here?'
'Yer!' Carrie smiled.
'What?' Myrnin asked.
'Dont worry you'll like it' Carrie told him, Myrnin shrugged as he sat down.

So I had ordered us all some food to Myrnin's lab, it came surprisingly fast. This was Myrnin's first order believe it or not. He didnt dare try it at first but then he eventually did. It turns out he really likes pizza, in fact it kept him quiet for a bit. But then he started talking about how the modern technology had become better since his days, and how it amazed him that we could order food from a place. Carrie seemed to like him, which is weird. At first she wanted me to keep him away from her but now...she just wont stop talking to him. I think Myrnin likes her too, he keeps saying how i'v made a magnificent person and stuff like that. You may think thats creepy but trust me, that is how Myrnin...thinks.

When we were all done eating we sat and talked for a bit longer. Carrie asked Myrnin where he got his bunny slippers from and he asked her how she got such a good aim on her. I however just sat back and watched them both talk about the most random things. Its weird because when Carrie came she was freaked out by Myrnin but now she seems so...amazed by him. To be honest I think he's cheered her up, she hasn't stopped smiling since she got here really, and he keeps making her laugh. I sighed as I checked the time, it was actually really late now.
'Right guys sorry to break the news but I think its time we went home' I announced.
The both looked at me, Carrie spoke first 'Cant we stay a little longer?'
I shook my head 'No, you have school tomorrow'
She sighed 'So?'
'So...you need to get up early. I know you, you wont get up early if you've had a late night' I told her.
She sighed 'Fine'
I looked at Myrnin 'See you tomorrow Myrnin'
'See you tomorrow Claire, and i'll see you soon young Carrie dear' Myrnin smiled.
Carrie laughed 'See you soon Myrnin'.
'Bye Myrnin' I say.
'Good bye' He said. With that me and Carrie walked out of his lab and made our way to my car. We both got in and I started the engine, I then drove out of my parking spot and started to drive home. I glanced at Carrie, she was looking out the window.
'So did Myrnin cheer you up?' I asked her.
She smiled at me 'Yer, mum he is great'
'I know he is, i'm glad that he's cheered you up though' I say.
'Mum why doesn't my dad not like him?' She asked me.
'How did you know that Shane doesn't like Myrnin?' I questioned her.
'Well...because when I first came to the town we both bumped into him...and my dad seemed to not like him' She answered.
'Oh right...well it really a long story' I say.
'Tell me' She said.
'Your dad never liked him because...well you know your dad he can get about jealous' I laughed, I tried to make it into a joke.
'He seriously got jealous over Myrnin?' Carrie asked me.
I sighed 'Yer but never talk about it with him Carrie, he will deny it with every chance he gets'
'I wasn't going to dont worry' She says.
'Good' I smiled. It was silent for a bit and then Carrie spoke again.

'Mum?' Carrie said.
'Yer?' I asked her.
'This may sound stupid but...why doesn't dad want me?' She asked me.
I glanced at her 'What do you mean?'
'Well...Why doesn't he want me anymore?' She asked me.
'He does want you silly its just your dad...does things that are sometimes out of order. Its just sometimes he doesn't see the trouble' I explained.
'But he keeps letting me down mum, maybe he is doing it on purpose so that i'll keep away from him' She suggested.
I shook my head 'No...no Carrie he isnt doing that. And I would not lt him either. Carrie he loves you its just...I think he needs to get his head sorted first okay?'
'Okay, but mum what are we going to do? What if the arguing never stops?' She questioned.
'It will dont worry, I think everyone is just settling down now anyway.' I told her. She sighed and carried on to look out the window.
'Carrie' I said, she looked at me and I carried on speaking 'You've lived your whole life without your dad, just because you've met him doesn't mean it changes things. I know that you want him to be in your life and everything but...sometimes not everything turns out right' I explained to her.
'I know mum' She says. We both didnt speak after that, and the whole car ride Carrie was just looking out the window. I sighed to myself, what if Shane carry's on to be like this? Carrie cant keep forgiving him and I cant keep fixing things. If Shane carry's on like this then...I dont think they was any point in moving to Morganville. I pulled up out of the house and stopped the engine.
'Oh no, Mum look' Carrie ordered.
'What?' I asked her and looked at her, I then looked out of the car window.
'Oh no' I mutter. Sat down on our door step was Shane, he was looking at the car.
Carrie turned to me 'I am not speaking to him'
'Carrie come on, he has obviously came to speak to you-'
'Then tell him to go away and that i'm not in the mood to speak to him' She interrupted.
I sighed 'If you dont speak to him, dont give him attitude'
'Fine' She said. We both got out the car and I locked it, Shane stud up and Carrie walked over to me.
'Give me the house keys' She ordered, I frowned and passed her my keys.
'Thank you' She says and walked straight to the house.
'Carrie' Shane said, Carrie ignored him and unlocked the house door.
'Carrie' Shane repeated, still ignoring him Carrie walked into the house and shut the door.

Shane sighed and turned to me, I shrugged 'What did you expect her to do?'
'Claire, Carrie got the whole thing wrong today. Anna wanted to talk to me and I kept saying no' He told me.
'Then you should have walked away from here' I said.
'Claire, this is Anna we are talking about. Since when does she ever listen?' He asked me.
I shrugged 'She's your problem, not mine'
'She's not anymore, anyway I only need those five minutes to tell her its over and to leave me alone. Carrie just got the wrong idea' He tells me.
'She is really mad at you Shane' I told him.
'I know she is Claire, but you cant blame me for this one. Even you know that Anna wouldn't have gone away, she would have kept pestering us until I gave in. Carrie would have gotten annoyed and probably have walked away anyway. No matter what I had done, Carrie would have still walked away' He pointed out.
'Well your just going to have to explain to her that then, And this time dont say sorry if you dont mean it' I told him.
'What? Claire I do mean it when I say sorry' He replied.
'Yer you have really proven that' I said sarcastically.
'Cant you just believe me for once in your life Claire?' He asked me.
'Oh I'm sorry dont you like it when people dont believe you Shane? Now you know how me and Carrie feel when you didnt believe us' I snapped.
He stared at me for a moment before speaking 'I was stupid, I know that Claire. But Anna has gone now, and if she does come back then I will tell her to leave and it wont be Carrie walking away, It will be Anna'
'Good, lets hope you can keep your word' I say.
'Please Claire i'm trying. You've been gone for more then a week, everybody was trying to get in touch with you. I was worried sick, all I want is to talk to you both again. You have no idea how much I have missed you two' He tells me.
'You have a weird way of showing it' I told him.
He sighed 'I know I do, and I have screwed up bigger and worse then I ever have done before. Just please can you just forgive me, and I know that I'v said this so many times before but...I will make it up to you. I really will make it up to you and Carrie'
I stared at him 'I'v heard that before Shane'
'Please Claire, I know I was in the wrong. I know now that Anna is just complete wast of time-'
'You have only just realised that?' I interrupted.
He laughed a bit 'I'm screwed up, what can I say?'
I smiled 'Alright I'll let you make it up to us...But...you will have to talk to Carrie first okay?'
'I know I do' He said.
'Good, just call me when you want to speak to her' I told him and went to walk inside.
'How about now?' He suggested.
I shook my head 'No, its been a long day Shane. Give it some time first'
'Oh okay...well could you speak to her too? I dont think she will forgive me Claire, I just need you too...I dont know make her at least listen to me?' He questioned.
I nodded 'I'll speak to her'
He smiled 'Thank you'
'See you later Shane' I say.
He waved 'Bye Claire'. I smiled at him, before shutting the door.

Well today has been very busy. First I had that trip to Amelie and Myrnin started acting weird, and then Carrie came and actually liked Myrnin and now Shane is begging for forgiveness Today has been very weird, and I dont think that any other day from now is going to be any less weirder too. I locked all the doors and turned everything off, I then went upstairs to bed. Carrie was asleep now and so I thought I should call it a night.

As I layed in bed I thought about what Amelie said today. I wonder what she did mean about the Guinea pig, and I wonder what those things meant that was in Myrnin's book. I sighed and closed my eyes. I guess this can all wait until tomorrow, right now I need sleep. And that's what I'm going to do.

Well Claire has had a very weird day. Do any of you have any idea of what's going on with Myrnin? Please comment your thoughts. Thanks or reading :)
