Thank you all you reviewers. This is a message in response to Evanescence-in-Constantinople's review. Firstly you're a Legend for writing such nice long reviews and I'm sorry for getting you so worried in my last chapter. In response to your question, yes I am scared of seeing and or imagining people cutting their wrists. What happened was my teacher told me what happens when you cut your wrists and I've been haunted by the picture in my head ever since. And I can't write about it because when I write I picture what's happening in my head and I honestly can't do that. Please don't stop reviewing I promise I won't take longer than a week to update lolz.
Also a big thank you to invisibilgirl who always does really nice reviews and makes me smile every time.
Love you all. Hope you enjoy this chapter. xx
Myrnin's POV.
"How could they let this happen?" Myrnin growled angrily. He was standing in the middle of Amelie's office while she sat there, making her Victorian desk chair look more like a throne.
"I told you Myrnin, they are going to find him. He is but one vampire, it's not like he can do much whilst trying to evade our gaze." Myrnin nodded, knowing this to be true but he still couldn't loosen his clenched fists.
"But he is still out there. One of the men who hurt my daughter is still out there. All because your men let him go!" He shouted at the top of his voice. He slammed his fist down on Amelie's desk. Unfortunately it wasn't as strong as he had hoped, his fist went straight through the wood. Amelie gave him a look that was more than less than amused.
"Myrnin, my men are doing their up most to help, they will find him and he will be punished. Now Myrnin I believe it's time for you to leave." She said, indicating to the door. Myrnin took in deep breaths to calm himself down, he turned on his heel and spoke as he walked,
"I happily acquiesce." He said through his teeth. He opened the door and left, he raced home. All he wanted was to be able to see Alice again. Claire was coming to the lab soon so she would hopefully help lift his sprits. He slammed the door closed behind him. Alice was sitting on the couch, reading a book. He walked over to her and sat on the couch next to her. She placed a bookmark in her page and turned to look at him.
"So what did she call you for." she asked, Myrnin knew he couldn't tell her. How could he tell her one of her assailants had escaped their grasp?
"Nothing Alice. Just the usual." Myrnin hugged her close and rubbed her shoulder comfortingly. She pulled away and looked at him with stern eye's.
"You're lying. What did she call you for?" She looked him dead in the eye. He froze suddenly. He felt all the worry about telling her drift away. All he wanted to do was tell her what had happened, spill all his worries.
He suddenly realised what she was doing and shook himself out of the trace. It was easier for him because Alice's glamouring wasn't strong enough to affect vampires as much as humans.
"That was unnecessary and rather rude." He said lamely.
"I wouldn't have to do it if you just answered my questions." She said.
"It's nothing Alice. Let it be."
"I will not let it be. I will not!" She shouted. "Whatever it is it's to do with me. Otherwise you would've told me by now."
"It's none of your concern." Said Myrnin. He tried to stay calm. He didn't want to get angry at Alice again. Not after everything. He also didn't want to lie to her. Alice got up and started to walk towards the door.
"Alright then. I guess I will just have to go ask Amy -"
"Don't!" Myrnin shouted quickly. He sighed when she stopped. He put his face in his hands ,knowing that she would find out one way or the other. "I'll tell you."
Alice was sitting next to him in a flash of movement and a gust of wind. She listened contently as he spoke. Myrnin sighed and started to explain how one of the men ,who had captured her, got away in all the craziness of the fight. Alice's eye's practically pooped out of their sockets in fear. Myrnin tried to reassure her but she wasn't really listening.
"Which one?" She asked finally. Myrnin was confused.
"Which one of what?"
"Which one of the men got away?"
"I'm not sure. I believe he had dark hair that was all I could remember from the description Amelie gave me."
"Lucas. It's got to be." She stated, her voice starting to shake. That's when they heard Claire's timid knock on the door. Myrnin had left it open, he wasn't worried about anything that would be deterred by a wooden door.
"It's open." He shouted. He heard the door open and heard Claire's familiar steps as she walked in. She walked into the room and put her things where she normally did. She walked over to where they were sitting and looked at Alice's fear stricken face. Claire hesitantly wrapped Alice into a hug. Alice took it gladly. After a while Alice suddenly stiffened and let go of Claire. She stood up in a flash. Looking confused yet angry. She stared at Claire who looked slightly alarmed. Myrnin got up ready for whatever was coming next. He saw Alice's predatory look and put himself between her and Claire. Alice looked over his shoulder and growled.
"How dare you touch me. Filthy human!" She screamed and lunged for Claire. Myrnin swiftly grabbed her and tackled her (As politely as possible) to the floor. He pinned her down as she clawed and snapped at him.
"Let go of me! You're a vampire! You should be helping me!" She looked at him with unrecognizing eye's.
"Alice. Listen to me , it's me , Myrnin .Your father." She slowly stopped, like she was starting to remember. Her face turned to one of confusion and hurt.
"Father?" She questioned, like she wasn't sure if it was true. "What's wrong with me?"
Claire's POV.
Something clicked in Claire's mind. A memory. She remembered the days when Myrnin had been suffering from the disease when she looked into Alice's confused eyes. She saw her and remembered those days and knew she couldn't be wrong.
"Myrnin?" She said. Myrnin still holding down Alice just in case. He murmured a silent yeah. "Has Alice been treated for Bishops disease?"
"Of course no…" His voice drifted away as he started to realise what Claire had just found. He looked at Alice as if he wondered how he didn't think of it before. He stood up still holding Alice's arm firmly as he helped her up. He held onto her tight as he spoke to Claire,
"Go to Dr. Mills ,he has the remains of the cure. Be quick little one." Claire didn't hesitate to run from the lab to fetch the cure.
Myrnin's POV.
Once she was gone Myrnin decided to let Alice go. She collapsed onto her hands and knees, crying softy. Myrnin crouched down and held her in a close embrace. He comforted her and wiped her tears. She soon got up without another word to him, and sat back down to where she had been before. She picked up the same book and carried on reading just like she did before. Only this time she stained the book with tears. Myrnin sat down next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. Alice didn't react, just carried on reading as if he wasn't even there.
