Claire's POV is set during the time Eve and the gang were taken.
Claire's POV:
We're getting there, they didn't fully trust me yet. Why would they? But they were gaining more trust in me. The girls were still sympathetic, especially Hannah after what Maya did to her.
They were a pretty cool group once you got used to them. Ash, Quinn and Morgead, were a pretty big help - apparently this was odd. But they were really nice to me, we spent a lot of time sparring. Sometimes I would sparr against one of the boys, sometimes against all three. Occasionally I would sparr with Jez or/and Rashel.
Jez was Morgeads soulmate, she was half-and-half. A split between human and vampire, she was also a Wild Power. She had fiery red hair that fell around her face in huge curls. The exact opposite of Rashel, she had long straight midnight black hair, that was almost always in a ponytail. She was completely human, she had been a very infamous vampire hunter - before she met Quinn - called 'The Cat', so she made for an incredible sparring partner.
Every so often Mary-Lynette would join in, much to Ash's dismay. He didn't like her fighting much, I don't know why. She was an great fighter, with a little more training she'd probably catch up to Rashel.
I was surprised they didn't throw me out after I told them who I was, they were all pretty stunned...
~Flashback~
"Family?" I looked round at Galen and smiled sadly, "Yes, family. I'm not sure but, I believe, Hunter is my... nephew?" I looked round at Thierry for confirmation and he nodded, "What?"
"How is that possible?"
Almost everyone exploded at once, all yelling at me and Thierry. I looked round at the few that we quiet and found it was Hannah, Ash, Mary-Lynette, Poppy, James, Quinn and Rashel. Understandable, they all knew. Well, maybe not. They all heard my name but I don't think they all actually know who I am, and they just don't seem to yell.
I rolled my eyes and looked at Thierry, "Quiet!" His yell echoed throughout the room and everyone fell silent immediately. "Let her explain who she is!" I saw several Adams-apples bob and everyone nodded mutely at him, I grinned at him and looked back round. "Okay, so I assume you all know who Maya is?" Everyone nodded, I didn't miss Hannah's shiver and looked at her sympathetically. "When she found the spell for immortality long ago, she wanted to test it. Why use the spell on her if she wasn't sure it would work?
Luckily her sister- No, not Hellewise. She had another sister, however when Hecate died the third sister was too young to lead the tribe with Hellewise and Maya.
When Maya had found the spell her sister had just turned sixteen, but she still looked like a fourteen or fifteen year old. Maya decided to test the spell on her.
She bound her sister in a spell and tied her to a rock slab in a hidden cave, Maya preformed the spell and left her sister tied in the cave, without any light or food. She came back little over a week later to see if her sister was still alive. She was.
But she was starved, Maya got too close and she attacked. She ripped into Maya's wrist and drank her blood. Maya attacked her sister and left, but thinking she was dead. She undid the binds.
The sister woke up mere hours later and went to find Maya. However when she found her, Maya had already preformed the spell on herself and turned a young man. The sister watched her bury the man in the woods and left him. The sister walked over to the shallow grave and dug some of the soil away, before another boy showed up.
She fled and hid in the forest. She watched the young man attack the newcomer and watched as Maya tried to convince the boy to stay with her. She watched as the boy ran and she followed him.
She lost the young vampire for a while, when she found him again he was distraught. She took him in and found out what had happened. He told her he'd found a tribe, they wanted to kill him but a girl tried to help him. He fell for the girl, but the tribe attacked. He told her he'd lost control and when he came back he realised he was draining the girl who'd tried to help him. He told her he was a monster, she smiled at the boy and showed her fangs, she said, 'As am I. But not all monsters do monstrous things."
They grew closer but he never stopped loving the girl from the tribe. The sister taught him control and helped him find the new reincarnation of the girl he loved.
She wanted to stay and help, but Maya showed up. The girl panicked and erased all memories of her from the boys mind - being careful to let him keep the control and everything else he'd learnt. Then she fled and started searching for relatives.
The girls name was Crystal." I looked up from my lap and saw everyone staring at me, Thierry had tears in his eyes and one rolled over and down his cheek. He was shaking his head at me and I smiled sadly at him. Everyone that had been outside and heard my name looked shocked beyond belief. Mary-Lynette, Thea, Maggie, Gillian, Poppy and Hannah were all crying, streams of tears running silently down their cheeks.
I felt something splash onto my lap and realised I was crying, "So... You- you're Crystal?" I nodded at Delos, "Yes, I'm Crystal."
Eve's POV:
"So, you're the guy who was helping Claire?" I rolled my eyes and let my head fall forward, God, Shane really can be an idiot sometimes. "No, Shane you absolute idiot! This is obviously the guy who was after Claire!"
The man grunted, "Is that it? She didn't even tell you who I am?" He snarled the end of his sentence and I flinched involuntarily, "Absolutely not," Oliver started drawling on, somehow managing to sound bored, "All she told me is that you would tear this town to shreds." He sounded rather chipper at the end and I rolled my eyes.
The man scoffed, "Oh I can assure you, I will. You'd better hope your little Claire, cares about you and this town enough to turn herself in." Shane snorted, "Yeah right, little bitch doesn't care about anyone other than herself." Count Crackula growled from across the room, touchy! The man pulled a phone out of his pocket and dialled a number, he hummed while he was waiting for someone to pick up.
His humming cut off abruptly and my head shot up to look at him, "Hello deary, how are you?" I could tell Crazy, Oliver and Amelie were all listening to the other end of the call but I couldn't hear anything. "I have your little friends with me." The man laughed at something the other person said and looked at me and Hannah, "Your friend wants proof you're here, so go ahead and talk to her." He held the phone out towards us, Hannah and I looked at each other and silently spoke. Using our eyes.
We agreed and looked round at everyone else, it looked like they were all on the same page as us. The only one I wasn't sure about was Shane. "Speak!" The man shouted at us and I flinched again, gritting my teeth. Suddenly he was right up in front of me, I felt a sting on the side of my face and I was forced to look to the side, I bit my lip to keep from crying out. He slapped me!
Michael choked on a growl and I shook my head at him. The man kicked me in the shin and I bit harder on my lip, then tasted blood in my mouth. He growled at me and stalked over to Hannah, I knew I shouldn't feel so bad about watching him beat Hannah up, she can hold her own. But it still made me sick to my stomach.
My head was wrenched to the side and I felt his cool breath on my neck, "I said speak." He whispered into my ear and I shook my head resolutely. He growled and bit down hard, I swallowed the scream threatening to erupt and it turned into a small whimper. "Okay! Okay! Hu... I believe... Leave...alone!" I could just about hear Claire's voice coming through the phone. I considered speaking and thought What the hell! She already knows we're here.
"Claire, don't do anything. We'll be fine!" I yelled at her and the man hit me again, before stalking off to talk to my CB. My head drooped and my eyelids started to flutter closed.
"Eve? Eve! Look at me, are you okay?" Distantly I could hear Michael talking to me, I groaned and tried to open my heavy eyes. I finally opened then and looked up at Michael. His face lifted into a small smile, "Evey, I need you to keep your eyes open for me, okay?"
I nodded sluggishly and kept watching Michael.
I blinked and my eyes wouldn't open again.
