Two updates? One night? Wow, I really AM generous. Don't expect too much, I'm tired. And I want my Pot Noodle!

-Michael's POV-

I hate hospitals. They give me the creep, and I know Eve and Shane both feel the same. Between us four, including Claire, we've been here more times than home, really. Leaving Eve sleeping on her bed, I left the room, and tried Claire's phone again. Since the crash, an hour ago, I'd left 10 miscalls, and two-dozen texts.

Hi, this is Claire Danvers mobile, I'm not here at the moment, but please leave a message! Thank you!

"Claire, where are you?" I hiss. "There's been an accident, pick up your phone, or get to the hospital. It's Shane. And Eve, but Shane more. Just- Just get here, yeah?" I hang up, trying to remain angry, but something keeps screaming This aint right. No matter what, Claire wouldn't still have her phone off. Even if she was at the lab- which I doubt- she'd have been home for at least an hour. If she doesn't pick up in ten minutes, I'd go find her, and ask Eve to keep me updated- She's stable, just a few cuts, but the doctors want her in overnight, just to stop them being infected. Blaring through my haze, my phone snaps me back to life- well, second life. It's Claire's number.

"Claire?"

"No, It's Myrnin." He doesn't sound right. Less crazy than normal.

"What the f-"

"Listen, boy. I do not have time for your Amuter dramatics. Claire is missing."

"What?" My throat goes dry, and I reach out for the wall to keep me steady. This can't be happening. Not today.

"Claire is missing! Now, I wondered if-"

"Myrnin, I'm at hospital. Do you-"

"Shut up and listen!" Suddenly, his temper cooled, and he asked lewdly, "Why are you at the hospital?" It took me a few moments to gather my thoughts, they were everywhere.

"Er- Car crash. Eve got hurt, but she's Ok. Shane- Shane might- might-"

"Spit it out!"

"Shane- Shane might die. These next few hours are critical, and thier opperating on him now. He might die."

A few seconds silence greeted me, and I could almost hear his thoughts.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. Shush boy and listen," he hissed, anger building quickly as I tried to interrupt, "I would like you to stay there, at the hospital. I shall find Claire."

"Cant you just- you've tasted her blood, can't you just find her like that."

A loud sigh emmited from the phone, as if I was stupid. "I'v tried boy, but the calls weaker than normal. I shall be able to find her like that, but it would take me while. I was hoping for you to drive me, so that I could focus purely on her bloodline."

"But you'r still able to find her, right? Right?"

"Yes. Goodbye."

With the disconnecting tone ringing in my ear, I went back to Eve's room. My face must have shown some of my utter dispair, because Eve- waking up from her uneasy slumber- paled, and reached for me. I hugged her gently, all too aware of her delicacy.

"Michael? Whats wrong? Is it Shane?"

"No, it's- well, it's Claire."

"Is she here?" For once, Eve was almost whispering, skin white as it stretched over her knuckles.

"No. She's missing, babe."

"Oh." Looking stunned, Eve breathed a bit deeper, eyes filling up with tears, before blinking them away and putting a determined edge to her voice. "Myrnin will find her, she'll be fine. We'll all be fine." A small tear leeked out of the edge of her eye, and I wiped away before kissing her on the nose.

"Be strong. I love you, Eve."

-Myrnin's POV-

I hung up, leaving the dead boy too his antics.

Jumping into a car- whose, I have no idea- I brought it to life, before saying my first prayer in hundreds of years, and muttered,

"Be strong. I Love you, Claire."

-Shane's POV-

All I could see in the darkness was Claire's face, but not as I had ever seen her.

It was petrified, tied up, blood scraping the edges of her rope gag. Every atom of this image made me hurt more than I had ever done before, and only one thought prevailed in the pain.

"Be strong. I Love you, Claire."

Ok, this is possible the shortest chapter in the history of the world, but I felt MEAN leaving you to such a cliffhanger.

Plus, you like what I did there? Thats some amazing TV shiz, right there.

Also, I TOLD YOU NOT TO EXPECT TOO MUCH! Imma eat my Pot Noodle now!
