Sorry I haven't updated in a long time, its because my exams are coming up and there important because thats what gets me into college and stuff.

I want to say thank you to all my reveiwers, you lots are the reason that this chapter is actually written and the reason why I'm actually writing more chapters for the future.

Claire was busy at work helping Myrnin improve his old system; she was adding on technology and showing Myrnin how it works.

Shane sat in the corner chair with his PSP in his hands and in intense concentration mode.

"By jingo I think I've got it Claire," Myrnin shrieked ecstatically.

"Good, that was only the basics." Claire said. "Now I'll teach you how you can make it do stuff to suit you"

"Okay" Myrnin said coming closer and invading her personal space. "Tell me."

"Well, it's really simple," Claire started of but Myrnin was coming uncomfortably close. He stepped towards Claire and before she knew it, she was in Myrnin's arms with his lips on hers.

She pushed against Myrnins grip, "Stop it, get off," Claire said squirming in his unbreakable arms. Myrnin didn't seem to hear or pay any attention to Claire's attempts of trying to get away.

"Hey, what the fuck!" Shane said. He saw Claire struggling and ran towards Myrnin, pushing him of Claire and straight onto the floor.

"Don't ever touch my girl." Shane said in a deathly whisper.

Shanes P.O.V

I came around the corner to check on Claire but found Myrnin kissing her. Claire was pushing against him. Struggling.

"Hey what the fuck," I shouted and then lunged at Myrnin with pure fury.

My fists clenched and knocked the bloodsucker to the ground. I saw a tinge of red cover my vision and I wanted so bad to kill him. Drive a stake through his heart.

Instead, I whispered, "Don't ever touch my girl," turned around and saw that Claire wasn't here anymore. Damn!

Claire P.O.V

Claire grabbed her bag and ran out, she hated Myrnin right now more that anything in the world. How could he do that to her, after all she'd been through. Was he just another person that thought of her as 'Shane's toy'? Claire slumped against the wall in the alleyway crying tears of anger and frustration.

"Maybe I am just some 'toy,'" she thought then cried harder.

"Claire? Claire!" Shane's voice came from down the alleyway. He ran up and pulled her into a hug. "I swear if he touches you again I will kill him."

"Can we just go home?" Claire said sucking in little sobs, "please?"

"Yea, come on," Shane said.

They walked home in silence and when they got there, Claire immediately ran to her room, shut the door and cried her eyes out. She hated the men who had treated her like a rag doll and she hated Myrnin for making her feel like that again.

Shane came running in her room after her; he sat on the bed next to her stroking her hair.

"Claire tell me what's going on," he said. "Please I'll help."

"I'm just pissed of, do you remember what happened with those men…those men … they" she couldn't finish the sentence of the thought of it sent chills through her. Claire started crying silently, she hated talking about that night.

"Yea I remember," Shane said seriously. "I'll kill 'em if I ever see those damn bastards again."

"Well that night they said 'Shane just doesn't know how to share his toys' and they said I was replaceable, I was a bit of fun. Then Myrnin, when he… he … he kissed me, I felt it happen all over again, like I was a toy," Claire said, she hid her face against Shanes chest and cried silently.

His arms pulled her closer, holding her tighter. "You're not a toy, not ever Claire. Don't you ever believe that. Those guys are probably dead by now; I swear I won't let anyone make you feel like that again. I love you," He said. He kissed the top of her head then held her in his arms.

That night the nightmares came back and haunted Claire, only this time Myrnin was in them too.
