Chapter 13 Morganville Vampires!

Claire's P.O.V

Today me and Myrnin was going to start on the heat protection. To be honest I dont get why they cant just use the sun cream and keep topping it up every so often. I guess Morganville just likes to be awkward. Also making this heat protection might just be a bad idea, if Amelie wants vampires to walk around the town during the day, who knows how that's going to turn out like. The day time is the only time humans can walk around the streets and stuff, if vampires can walk around during the day too then it will be even more dangerous.

Right now me and Myrnin was looking at the sun cream, and seeing what was used to make it.
'Myrnin maybe if we use something stronger it will work' I suggested.
He shook his head 'But it will still be sun cream, we need something different. We are missing something'
'What are we missing?' I asked him.
He looked at me 'Dont you think that if I knew that I would have it already?'
'Oh...sorry...I was just asking' I say.
'Claire I need you to look and compare the different mixtures in this sun cream. Try and find something similar to them' He ordered.
'Ok' I said and walked over to the table. I grabbed one of Myrnin's book that he had, it had loads of information on different elements and stuff. It tells you stuff about the periodic table, about the atoms...about everything really. It must of been about...20 minutes until I found something, I grabbed the book and brought it over to Myrnin.
'Myrnin what about this one?' I asked him.
He took the book from me and I pointed at the information, he thought for a moment 'We are going to have to try that. I dont know if it will be strong enough or not'
'Okay, well i'll look for more and write them down okay?' I asked him.
He nodded his head and got back to what he was doing, I sighed and walked over to the table again. Taking a pen and some paper I started to note down everything important.
'So Myrnin when will we be testing them?' I asked him.
He glanced at me 'Erm...well dont you worry about that'
'What? Why not?' I questioned.
'All you need to do is help me find the right things to make the heat protection' He tells me.
'So...I wont be testing it with you?' I asked him.
He sighed 'No you wont. Just leave the testing to me okay? The sooner we get the heat protection done the better'. After that it went silent and I didnt really know what to say. After he said that I wanted to ask him why I wouldn't be testing the heat protection with him but I knew he would get mad. So instead I changed the subject.

'Myrnin, dont you think that its a bit dangerous that vampires will be able to walk around the town during the day?' I asked him.
He sighed 'Young Claire, I know you are worried but...there is no changing Amelie's decision If this is what she wants then...what can we do about it? She knows the dangers Claire'
'But Myrnin this is dangering many peoples lives! The day time is the only time we can actually walk around!' I said.
'I know but we cant do anything about it. We have been trying to make Amelie see what could happen for years. But I guess the Founder doesn't want to be proved wrong' He sighed.
'So that's it? Your just going to leave it?' I questioned.
'What can I do? Other then get donuts' He says.
I frowned 'What?'
'Did I ever tell you about the time when Bob the spider was around?' He asked me.
'Erm...no' I said.
'My time does go past' He says to himself.
'I-I...Myrnin? Are you okay?' I asked him.
He smiled at me 'Of course I am, why wouldn't I be? Today is a nice day and tomorrow will be better'. Right then his eyes started to turn red and I started to back away from him. I walked over to my bag and slowly opened it.
'Myrnin why dont you get one of your blood bags?' I asked him.
'Why have a cold blood bag when I can have warm blood right here?' He asked me as he walked closer to me.

I grabbed a stake from my bag and looked him dead in the eyes 'Myrnin! Go get yourself some blood!'
'I want your blood' He told me.
'Myrnin!' I yelled at him, he flinched and jumped back from me.
'Myrnin go get some blood right this instance!' I shouted. He frowned at me and then looked around the room, and that's when he realised how hungry he was.
'Claire. I cant get blood' He told me.
'Why?' I asked him.
'Because i'v ran out' He answered.
'Well how about I go get you some more?' I suggested.
'No! No! I'll go and get some...I'll be back soon' He says.
'Take your time Myrnin okay?' I said.
He nodded and ran out the lab vampires speed. I sighed and put the stake back into the bag, I then looked around the room. I have Myrnin's lab to myself, what could I possibly do? Walking round the room something court my eye. It was Myrnin's book, the one he always wrote in, I checked to see if he was behind me. Since no one but me was here I opened up the book, I looked on the last page he looked on, the page where it said about all the burns and it had all those dates and times on them. I want to see what is going on...and I will.

Carrie's P.O.V

So its another day at school. I'm hoping I dont see Tyler again, the last time I saw him was when I told him I wasn't going to forgive him and then I walked away from him. I'm also trying to avoid being locked in a room with him again, I'll admit that was pretty sly but i'm still pretty pissed of at what he did.
Walking into the lesson I looked for Hailey. When I found her I made my way over to her...but of course the teacher stopped me.
'Carrie can I ask a favour?' She asked me.
'Yer sure' I said.
'You know because you put that box away yesterday for me? Well could you take this to the reception for me please?' She asked me.
I smiled 'Sure'. I grabbed hold of the box and walked out the classroom, the reception was quite for away from my class and I sighed. When I got there I walked over to the desk and placed it on top of there.
'I was asked to bring this here' I told the receptionist.
She smiled at me 'Alright thank you, just put it in that cupboard over there'
I nodded my head and picked up the box again, I opened the cupboard door and put the box on the counter. Its funny how I have to put another box in another cupboard, this time i'll make sure I dont get locked in. Walking out the cupboard I noticed a boy had come to the reception, he was talking to the receptionist. She handed him a sheet with something on it...I couldn't really see what it was, and then she started telling him stuff. I walked over and the receptionist smiled at me.
'I've put the box in there on the counter' I told her.
'Oh great thank you' She says. I smiled at her before walking away.
'Oh Carrie!' She yelled, I turned around to face her...and the boy.
'This boy is new to the school, could you please show him around. He's in your lesson as well' She tells me.
I nodded my head 'Sure'.
'Thank you' She says, the boy walked over to me and I smiled at him.

We both walked out of the reception and began to walk down the corridor.
'Hi' I said.
'Hey' He says, Looking at him now I realised how good looking he was. He wasn't as good looking as Tyler but still. He had light brown hair with light brown eyes.
'Have you just moved into Morganville?' I asked him.
'Yer, my mum wanted a fresh start and stuff. This town court her eye' He answered.
'Really? What made her choose this town?' I asked him.
He shrugged 'She never really said, she just...chose it'
I nodded 'Oh right'
'Is it good?' He asked me.
I frowned 'Is what good?'
'The town? Is it good?'
'The town? Yer its fine, its takes a bit of time to settle in but..yer its good' I told him.
He smiled 'This may sound so stupid but...this town seems so...freaky.'
'What makes you so that?' I questioned.
'Well, when I first arrived here I saw so many people looking around the street. It was like every person was...scared of everything around them' He told me.
'Really? Wonder what there problem was' I say.
He laughed and looked around the school 'Wow, this school is big. Or at least bigger then my old one'
'I know, I was like that too. Dont worry you get used to that' I said.
He looked at me for a moment and I frowned 'What?'
'Is this school...ok? Like would you say its a good school?' He questioned me.
'Erm...its okay. The lessons can be boring but any normal school is like that. I guess it is okay' I answered.
'You sure? Your not just saying that?' He asked me.
I shook my head 'No, I'm not just saying that. Why would I?'
'I just thought that you was saying that...because I'm new and everything' He says.
'No I wouldn't do that' I told him.
He smiled at me 'Thanks. So how long have you been going to this school? Like years?'
I laughed 'No this is my first year here. I only started going to this school about a few months ago'
He looked surprised 'Really?'
'Yer I know...Oh my god I havnt told you my name! I'm Carrie' I tell him.
He laughed 'I'm Dylan'.
I smiled 'You'll fit in here, dont worry.' With that I opened the door to our lesson, everyone in the class turned to face us and I looked straight at the teacher.

'Sorry I was long, I was to help Dylan. He's new here' I announced.
The teacher smiled at him 'Hello Dylan, take a seat there at the front and I'll tell you what we are doing in a moment'.
The teacher then turned to me 'Thank you Carrie for taking the box back'.
'No problem' I said as I went to sit down.
'Hailey explain to Carrie what we are doing please, Everyone else get on with what your doing!' The teacher ordered. I turned to Hailey and she grinned at me.
'What?' I asked her.
'So Dylan huh?' She says.
I shook my head 'No Hailey nothing is going on. He was new I got told to show him to his lesson... which happens to be mine'
'Whatever. Is he alright?' She questioned.
'Yer he's fine, he seems like a nice boy' I answered.
'He seems okay' Hailey said.
I sighed and and looked down at the sheet 'Alright tell me what I need to do'. With that Hailey started explaining to me what we had to do, and then she started talking about Josh. She always talks about him but then again she is a girl...that's what girls do.

Claire's P.O.V

Looking in Myrnin's book I noticed quite a few things. He had added more onto the page that I was looking at before, and looking at the time he had wrote down...it was an hour before I started work. Also looking at the other times and dates he would write in this book an hour before my work started and a hour after my work finished. Myrnin had wrote down about things burning and leaving scars. The newest one said : Burns skin incredibly fast, takes over 5 minutes to recover. I frowned down at the page, why would Myrnin be burning skin? There is no reason for him to burn skin unless he was testing something or doing something important. Right at that moment I realised what was going on.

Myrnin wouldn't let me test with him because he wanted to do it on his own. That's why Amelie mentioned a Guinea pig, she had also said how Myrnin was already working on the heat protection before I started helping him. Then Myrnin got upset about it, and now I know why. The reason Myrnin wont let me test with him is because he is testing on something he shouldn't be, and the reason he got upset about me working with him on this was because he didnt want me to find out what he was testing on. But now I know the truth, Myrnin is testing on something and i'm going to find out what.

Alright so that's why Myrnin was acting weird. Plus there is a new boy at the school! Wonder if he settles in or not. Please comment your thoughts. Thanks for reading :)
