Claire's POV
As I stepped through the portal I saw Shane run up the stairs out of the corner of my eye. If he wanted to avoid me, so be it. He doesn't really need to know my personal business anymore, as he shouldn't care.
"Eve? Michael? You home?" I shouted. Eve ran into the living room from the kitchen. "Claire Bear! There you are! I have been wondering where you have been all day!" She enveloped me in a hug, but then noticed my nervousness as I tensed up. "CB? What's wrong? Why are you acting weird?" "Eve. Get Michael. I need to tell you both something kind of important."
I turned around suddenly, as I felt my fangs sliding down and my eyes turning red. Stupid newborn vampire instincts, they are uncontrollable. I didn't want Michael or Eve to know until I told them together, so I rushed away before Eve could see me.
Eve's POV
"Mikey!" I called, knocking on Michael's door. He answered, and of course he didn't have a shirt on… "FOCUS, EVE." I thought to myself. Damn. Sometimes Michael can be so distracting. "Yes, Babe?" Michael responded, with one of his heart-stopping smiles.
"Michael, Claire says she has something important to tell us. We need to get downstairs. NOW." I say, a hint of urgency in my tone. Michael's face fell. "Do you know what this is about?" He inquired. "Not exactly." I respond. "However, before I came to talk to you, I could've sworn I saw her eyes flash red. This can't be good, Mike." He interpreted what this could mean and quickly rushed out the bedroom door, heading for the stairs.
"Uh, babe, you might want to put a shirt on." I add, with a touch of humor. "What, afraid I might distract you?" He says, smiling once again. "Oh, never…" I say sarcastically. He leans in, probably about to kiss me, when I shout, "MICHAEL GLASS! We have more serious matters to attend to right now."
He rolls his eyes and pulls a tee-shirt on. "Happy now?" "Yes, I am." I say, although, quite honestly, I was happier before—I shake away the thought. "Let's go downstairs now, and find out what Claire has been up to." Michael grabs my hand and we run down the stairs to talk to Claire.
