She just sat there. She didn't move even though she could be swiped right where she was by a vampire. She just didn't care. If anything she wouldn't have cared much. Except in that moment when the thought climbed through her mind about Shane and Eve. They were fighting for their life at the moment. They were important.

Getting up, she started running. She wasn't entirely sure how'd she get into the house, but there were always ways. As she reared the next she could see the house at the end. The place was smoking up into the once star filled sky. For the first time in a while she noticed that it was cloudy. It seemed that the fight had died down a little or at least that' what it looked like from where she was standing. She slowed to a walk then to a sneaking tactic to where she was crouching. There were vampires littered on the ground. Sure, it looked somewhat deserted, but that didn't necessarily mean it was. She looked in all sorts of directions. Then quickly she stood and ran for the house. It wasn't like she had any sort of plan and awkwardly enough things seemed to go better without one.

She didn't look anywhere, but forward. It was like a rule to her. You never looked back unless you wanted to be dead. She could see the door getting closer and closer. About five feet from the door Something jumped out in front of me. Not something. A vampire. Claire's eyes went wide as it snapped at me. She fell back and skinned my palms as I tried to get away. It grabbed her by the ankle and was yanking her forward.

"Let her go!" came a scream

The vampire screamed and ran with its entire backside on fire. She looked up and saw Eve standing there watching as well. She looked at Claire and offered her a hand. Claire took it and was pulled inside. People were littered on the stairs and in the doorways.

"Where's Myrnin?" Lowe asked coming from what looked like the kitchen.

Claire looked at him blankly for a minute. It was like she didn't understand what he just said.

"The vampire boss?" he said

"I don't know." She trailed off

She was trying to think back. It was all a blur really. She was having difficulty trying to put it together being she was bent on surviving.

"Scott…" she said

"Scott?" Shane said coming into the room. His shirt was ripped in places. When she looked around from person to person she noticed that they all were messed up.

"He's behind it all. We went to Ada and she attacked Myrnin. Scott showed up…We have to get out of here!" Claire screamed

She jumped up and started trying to shove people out the front door. Both Shane and Lowe grabbed her and held her as she fought to get free.

"No we have to go! This town is going to blow!" she screamed

Shane took full hold of her and looked down at her.

"Claire calm down. What are you talking about?" he said

Everyone was on full alert now including Monica who had a few cuts of her own.

"Scott tried to kidnap me after everything then told me that he and whatever crew he had had set up bombs under the town everywhere."

The words came out so fast that Claire wasn't sure if anyone caught them.

"Shit."

Claire's head shot toward the stairs as did everyone else's. Michael stood there his face serious. Several of the college kids jumped and ran off to the other side of the room. Claire didn't move. She just stared at him as did Shane. Michael looked perfectly fine now. He wasn't going crazy.

"Claire Danvers…If it wasn't for the fact that I had no control I would kill you for shooting me." Oliver growled from the front door making Claire jump. Oliver had pulled out the arrow already. "What is going on?"

Amelie came in quietly and seemed eager to hear this as well.

"I don't know." Claire said "I don't know how you guys were able to come back to your…normal selves. It must've been Myrnin."

"We have to get out of here." Shane told them "This town is going under. There's no chance. There are boms scattered everywhere below."

"We must try." Amelie said

"Did you not hear me! There is no chance that we survive. Even if we find them we don't know how to disarm them." Shane snapped

"Watch you tone boy." Oliver growled

"Enough Oliver. The boy is right." Amelie said quietly "But what are we to do?"

Shane looked at Claire who was deep in thought then at Eve Who was now in Michael's arms. He was soothing her.

"Buses." Claire said and for some reason she looked at Monica who suddenly agreed with a smile "We'll need busses to get everyone out."

"Alright." Amelie said calmly

She looked at Hess, Lowe, Michael, and Eve.

"Go throughout the town and gather those who are still alive, vampire and human and bring them to the town square. We will load up there so make haste." She turned to Oliver, Monica, Shane, and Claire "Go to the high school. The bus yard is not far from there."

Claire nodded and ran out the door with Monica right behind her. There were no rude puns. There were no words period. Shane only stood there for a second taking the fact that this was actually happening in. Claire on the other hand couldn't get herself to look back at all. She didn't want to think that this was the last time she'd see any of her friends.

Scott was still out there somewhere though. That was about the only thing that scared her at the moment. Shane took her hand as they hurried. She looked up at him through the dark. She could make out the shape of his face, but that was it. The sun would be rising soon. She didn't know when the town would go under, but she didn't want to be here when it did.

"We'll get out." Monica said out of the blue "We have to."

We all looked at her blankly including Oliver. Even he wasn't so sure. Claire did know that if he had it his way he'd just get out.

Claire's phone started ringing as they rounded the next corner. She hesitated before answering.

"Hello?" she said shakily. Shane looked at her intensely. "Myrnin? You're alive."

"Of course I'm alive."

"You have to get to the town square. We're gathering everyone and leaving. The town is going under." Claire said

"I was able to lift the influence on the vampires, but I'm still working on gettingto everything else."

It was like he didn't hear what she said.

"Did you hear me?" she snapped "Get the hell out."

"Claire, there is a slight problem. You can't leave because of the barriers. Someone must be here to bring them down."

Claire sucked in a deep breath right then. It was the realization that he wasn't making it out.

"I will call you back with an update. Just get everyone you can ClaireBear."

The line went dead. He'd called her ClaireBear.
