Hey everyone. Firstly thank you all so much for the reviews that I have received so far! I love reading all your comments and they defiantly inspire me to write more. Secondly I need help finding a story that I read a while ago. Basically Claire makes this potion to send Bishop into Hell and she gets dragged in with him and once she gets out is completely different, so if anyone knows where I can find it or can tell me if it has been deleted it would be a great help. Anyway this chapter was inspired by 'Burning the harbor' by Kate Voegele. So enjoy!
I don't know what to do So take away this darkness in the air
But stare into space
Wish I could shut my eyes
I used to sleep at night
I used to feel safe
And now I'm terrified
It's like black flames are everywhere
Someone say there's hope on the way
Burning the harbor
Kate Voegele
The car ride to the glass house was silent. Michael kept glancing at Claire but didn't know how to start of the conversation with her. As they came to a stop, Claire looked up silently at the house and took in the details. It looked exactly the same and Claire sighed as she got out of the car and followed Michael into the house. She walked into the living room and dumped her bag onto the floor. Michael stepped in after her and coughed slightly before saying
"I have to go and get some people who live here. So you need to stay here" Claire nodded before saying
"Ok...Michael was it?" he nodded slowly once before heading out of the room and after a second Claire listened to the front door closing. She turned and opened her bag, pulling out a cellphone and turning it on. She sent a quick text before closing it and moving to walk out of the front door to find that Michael had locked it behind him. She sighed before going to the back door and trying to open that door. After a second she gave up and went back through into the living room. She sat down, defeated, staring out of the windows. Claire stood up and walked towards the window and gently pushed it. The window swung open and Claire smiled as she grabbed her bag and climbed out of the window.
Michael walked through the door, avoiding drunken couples and searching the room for Eve and Shane. He noticed Eve dancing in the middle of the floor, standing out in her black ballerina skirt and skull top. She saw him and smiled, and beckoned him to join her. He did so and kissed her before saying
"We need to go. Where's Shane?" Eve looked over her shoulder and Michael followed her gaze. Shane was sat on a chair with a blonde girl sat on his lap. Michael rolled his eyes before walking over to him and saying
"Hey bro, we've got to head back" Shane sighed and lifted the blonde girl off his lap, who pouted before slipping her number into his pocket and walking away. Michael walked outside, with Shane following behind, to see that Eve was already in the car. The guys got into the car and Eve turned to Michael
"So where the hell did you go?" Michael sighed before replying shortly
"Amelie requested my presence. We have a new roommate" Eve looked at Shane quickly before looking back at Michael and asking
"Is it her?" Michael looked back and Eve asked again.
"Is it Claire?"
Claire climbed back through the window and locked it quickly. She looked out of the window and watched as Chase climbed back onto his motorcycle and drove down the ally. She smiled and looked around the living room. There was a couple of games littered over the table and Claire picked through them. She put down a box and walked over to stare at the pictures that were on the wall. She smiled at some of them before walking away and going upstairs to look around the rooms. She opened a few rooms then came to a stop in front of a bland picture that was hanging between two doors. Claire reached open and slid the picture to one side and looked at the small button that had appeared in front of her. Claire closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead as she felt a headache coming.
The dark haired boy pressed the button that was behind the picture and as Claire watched a door appeared opposite. The boy smirked at her and said
"Cool, huh? This damn house is full of crap like that. Trust me, in Morganville it pays to be up on the hiding places" He pushed the door and revealed a set of stairs before walking up them. Claire followed after him.
Claire let go of the picture frame and watched as the button disappeared from view. The front door opened and Claire looked over the banister and watched as Micheal and Eve came into the living room. Claire walked silently to the stairs and started to go down towards them. As she got halfway down a third person entered the room and stared at her open mouthed. Claire froze and the dark haired boy stared at her for a second before asking
"Claire?" She looked at the other two before looking back at him and saying
"Sorry, who are you?"
Hope you have all enjoyed and please review and let me know what you think.
