Hey, soz I haven't updated in AGES! But I've been really busy (sorry!) anyway, thank you for all the reviews (I have 40!) and keep them coming!
Shane's POV
"Help me," she whispered hoarsely. It was then that I realised that Claire may not be a vampire, but she was still drained almost dry! Her skin was chalky white, and I'm not exaggerating, and her hand that was gently gripping my wrist, was as cold as ice.
Not only that, but she was terrified! She was trembling so much she looked as if she was vibrating and when I moved my hand to brush a strand of hair from her face, she flinched away from my touch.
Suddenly, I realised that we were still right outside the hospital. Though we were only a few yards from the doors, and Claire was so light it was as if her bones were hollow, the automatic glass doors seemed miles away. I guess I was just tiered. But if this is how I'm feeling, Claire is probably feeling one hundred times worse, so I needed to do this, for her.
"No!" Amelie screeched. Clearly she had just realised that Claire was still human. "No! How can this be?" Wait – I actually know why Claire wasn't turned! Wow, that makes a change!
Flashback
"So you're telling me," I said to Claire once she was back from university. "That you now work for a vampire scientist?" She nodded mutely.
"A, um, crazy vampire scientist," she corrected under her breath, clearly not anticipating that I'd hear her.
"I don't really know how to respond to that..." I said, trailing off at the end. I loved Claire and I knew it, even if I'd never said it out loud, which meant I didn't ant her to risk her life daily just to earn a living!
"The, um, upside," she stuttered. "Is that because of this disease he can't create new vampires..."
End Flashback
Wow, Amelie must be pretty sick if she didn't know all these basic facts!
I walked calmly over to Claire, who was still conscious, but only just, and picked her up bridal style in my arms, staying as far away from the crazy vampire as possible. I wouldn't say this to her face, but Claire was heavier than I expected her to be!
I began to walk toward the hospital doors that I seemed to walk through too often these days, but I heard a snap from behind me and there was immediately guards blocking me from getting to the one place where I REALLY needed to be right now.
I heard a small, humourless laugh from behind me. "You didn't really think it would be that easy did you?"
hey I kow it's short, but I'm working on making them better. If you hadn't guessed, it was AMELIE who said that last bit! Anyways, please review and I will update soon x
