To make up for not posting in a very long while I decided to post another chapter less than 24 hours later. I hope you like it:)
They made it to the bus yard as the sun approached the horizon. Oliver busted the locked and moved for the main office where the keys were.
"Two to a bus." Claire said
"Uhh…I don't have a lisince for this kind of thing." Monica said
Claire smirked at the comment. Oliver came out and tossed out two sets of keys. Monica caught one set and Shane the other.
"Alright let's go." Shane said
As they turned around to go they froze.
"I don't think so."
Scott along with about five others stood in front of them with shotguns. None the less they were probably filled with wood. They fanned out around the four of them. Shane's fists clenched. Oliver just scoffed at them unimpressed.
"So you followed us…oh no we're doomed." Oliver said flatly
Claire, Shane, and Monica looked at him sideways. Like what the hell? They were on a time sensitive schedule sort of. Even Scott was a little surprised. He didn't move from his position though.
"You can still leave with us Claire." Scott said
"I'm already leaving Scott. Just not with you." She stated
She looked over at Oliver who gave her a quick glance. That was a sign being any time she saw Oliver fuming so bad that he was ready to rip someone's heart out he'd never look anywhere, but at his prey. Waiting patiently she looked at each of the guys surrounding them; memorizing where they were and their stance. Then in the next instance she jumped at Scott catching him off guard being he had his eye on Shane. Oliver didn't hesitate to take out the two behind them. Monica froze for a second then ducked as a shot went off and clipped her in the back. Screaming, she charged at the guy and sent him tumbling.
Scott shoved her off and pinned her to the ground as Shane came at him. Scot shoved him back then slapped Claire across the face. It was like she didn't feel it, because she came right back and punched him across the face then kicked him. He flew backwards with surprising force, and Shane caught a hold of him and tackled him to the ground. He shuffled for the shotgun nearby and got to it before Scott could. Shane stood and aimed it at him while cocking it. Scott sat there on his knees. He looked over at Claire who now held her reddened cheek. Oliver took care of the guy that Monica had relentlessly went off on Then helped her to her feet.
"Don't look at her." Shane snapped "Look at the one who has a shotgun in your face."
Scott looked at him.
"You won't do it. You have your conscious to think about not to mention how Claire will perceive you." Scott rasped out
"But I don't." Oliver said coming up behind him and grabbing his head in both hands. With a quick gesture he snapped his neck making both Claire and Monica jump. "Let's move."
It took a second for the three of them to register what had just happened not to mention what he said. Oliver took Monica around the waist and led her to the bus that his keys were numbered to. He was actually caring about her. In any case he would let her walk herself and say you deserve to die. Was he trying to preserve something to feed off of at a later date? Claire didn't want to question it now. She looked down at her keys and grabbed Shane by the arm and ran to her bus. She pried the doors open and sat in the driver's seat. Shane sat directly behind her. Oliver was already driving out.
"Can you drive this thing?" he asked sounding unsure.
"There's a first time for everything?" she tried
"Oh no." He mumbled
Claire turned the key in the ignition and put the gear shift into drive and followed Oliver.
When they got to the town square Amelie, Eve, and Michael were there waiting along with the college kids that had been harbored up in their house for the past day and a half. Jake was also there. He was also her boss. She was supposed to be his TA. It didn't last long though due to a call in. She parked behind Oliver and got out.
"You should've called Claire." Jake said
"We had problems that kept me from doing so." She replied "I'm glad you're alive though."
He nodded.
"Help get people on the bus." She told him
There were about fifteen other faces she didn't recognize and figured Michael and Eve must've found them. They all started getting them on the buses.
"Tell them to squeeze in! There are more on the way." Claire called
Looking around Claire saw others coming, and they were with Hess and Lowe. Half of the people with them were injured. Amelie helped get them on the buses as well. The sun was now up in the early morning. She looked around hoping to see Myrnin coming. All she saw was vampires starting to sizzle.
"Get the vampires on the busses and cover the windows!" She screamed
Michael rushed onto a bus with Eve right behind. Several people put their own clothing along with whatever else they had with them up to cover the windows. Amelie and Oliver still continued to help get people on the buses though. After the last person was on they turned to Claire. They just stared at her as if waiting for orders. I'm not the leader or founder here, she thought to herself. Shane looked at her too waiting for her to say something.
"Are we sure that's everyone?" she asked
Amelie could see the concern.
"That is everyone." She said "I will get on the bus now. I need to tend to Sam."
She got on. Claire just looked around at her surroundings. She wanted her teacher to come running.
"Claire we have to go." Shane said with urgency.
Oliver started his bus making her jump. Shane took the keys from her hands and ran onto the second bus and brought it to life. She still stood there. Then turned and got on the bus. She looked around and saw that there was absolutely no room. People were sitting on other's laps or on the floor or even standing. She remained on the steps and closed the door. Michael stood right behind her and was bracing the two front seats for balance as the bus started moving through the town.
Her phone suddenly rang right then. Shane glanced at her then back at the road.
"Myrnin?" she said shaken
"Good you're okay. Look, I can only bring them down momentarily so hurry now."
"We can come get you."
"Claire just get out okay? It is very important that you carry on my work even though you can't comprehend the majority of it."
"Myrnin don't!" she screamed into the phone.
"Goodbye ClaireBear…Be good."
The line went dead.
"No!" she screamed and opened the doors ready to jump out.
"Claire!" Shane and Michael screamed simultaneously as she leapt.
I gotta be honest when I say that there is only one chapter left. I hope you like this one so review?
