Chapter 25 Morganville Vampires!

Claire's P.O.V

Sebastian winced in pain as the chemicals started to burn his skin. Me and Myrnin were still testing and I think that its going to to be while until we find out how to make this heat protection.
'Its burning' Sebastian told me.
'I know' I said, he glared at me and I smiled at him and then wrote down the reactions in the book. After I had written my notes I cleaned the chemical of Sebastian's skin and walked back over to the tale that held all the chemicals.
'Claire if you dont mind, I have made some more mixtures for you too try' Myrnin told me.
I smiled at him 'I dont mind at all'
Myrnin looked at me 'I know that you and Sebastian arnt exactly...friends, but can you at least try to be mature about this. I want to find the right chemicals to make heat protection, but I at need help doing that and that's why your here, but your being very silly about this'
'Myrnin i'm enjoying my work, i'm doing what your telling me too do. Please point out where the problem is' I told him.
He stared at me 'The problem is that feel as if we've already found the right chemicals, but your telling me because you want to hurt Sebastian'
'Even though I thought about that plan before I started doing this job, I'm not going to do that because your my friend and I wouldn't do too you, and anyway this is Amelie's orders and I dont want to get on her bad side' I told him.
He sighed 'Fine, but please be mature about this'. Myrnin then turned back to his work and carried on writing down his notes. I however grabbed some more chemicals and brought them back over to Sebastian.
'Your loving this arnt you?' He asked me.
'I'm only loving it as much as you loved biting my daughter' I told him, Sebastian didnt say anything and started to place one of the chemicals on his skin. At first he didnt react too it and for a second I thought we had found the right chemical, but then Sebastian cried out in pain.
'Get it off me now' He ordered, I shook my head and picked up my book.
He winced again 'Claire get it off me now its burning me'
'I know it is but I need to wright this information down' I told him, I started write down the time I placed the chemical on his skin and how he reacted to it. After I was finished I cleaned it off his skin, and it was just then I realised Myrnin standing right next to me.

'What's wrong?' I asked him.
'Claire did you realise how he didnt react to that chemical straight away?' He asked me.
'Erm...yes I did realise that' I answered.
'This could mean that I have mixed something in that chemical in order for that too burn the skin, so the chemical we are looking for could be in that glass beaker.' He tells me.
I stared at him 'Myrnin I think your forgetting that...so far that has caused the most pain for him'
'Yes and I'm pretty sure that's the one that made him react slower too it as well' He says.
'Well I guess you could be right, but first let me try out the other mixtures and then you can decide which chemical is right and stuff' I told him.
He thought about it for a moment 'I suppose your right, keep going'. And once again Myrnin went back to doing his work. I sighed and turned back too Sebastian and he stared at me.
'Well I guess he need to keep trying' I said.
'Well I guess I should bite your daughter again' He says. I glared at him and he smiled at me, right then I slowly started to pick up the glass beaker without taking my eyes away from him and then...chucked it in his face. He started at me before crying out in pain, you could even see a bit of steam that came off his face from where it was burning him.
'Claire!' Myrnin yelled.
I turned and faced him 'Sorry I slipped'. Myrnin shook his head and turned back to his notes. I then turned back to Sebastian, who was still recovering from the pain.
'If you say anything like that about my daughter again, you'll be getting worse things then that, got it?' I asked him, he didnt answer he just glared at me.
I sighed at him and picked up another chemical beaker 'Great so, now that he have that clear, lets try some more chemicals'.
Sebastian shook his head as I started too put on yet another one of Myrnin's mixtures.

Carrie's P.O.V

Me and Hailey were sat down in the canteen eating our dinner, Josh and Tyler wasn't here yet but they would be pretty soon. So in the mean time me and Hailey had decided to talk about them before they got here.
'So you and Josh seem to be getting along well, how are things with you two?' I asked her.
'Oh there good thanks' She answered.
I stared at her 'Good? Is that it? Its going good?'
'Well...yes its going good, why?' She asked me.
'I just thought that you two were really close, I mean you seem it' I told her.
She smiled at me 'We are'
I opened my mouth too say something but she interrupted me 'Oh and we are not close as in...you and Tyler close' She added.
'Hailey you said you wouldn't do this' I reminded her.
'I know, I know, sorry. But you got too admit it is funny' She says.
'No It is funny Hailey, would you like it if I made fun of your sex life?' I asked her.
Right then Hailey shook her head and went back to eating her food.
I stared at her 'Oh...It seems Hailey has gone quiet, why is that?'
'I havnt gone quiet' She says.
'Yes you have and we both know it, so tell me what did I just say that made you go quiet?' I asked her.
'Nothing I...I just...erm...-'
'You went quiet after I just asked you, if you would like it I made fun of your sex life' I pointed out.
'Carrie just drop it, nothing is wrong' She says as she looks back down at her food.
I kept staring at her 'Hailey you know you can tell me, I wont anything.'
She shook her head and kept looking down 'Nothing'
'Is it Josh? Does he keep pressuring you into sex?' I asked her.
She looked at me in shock 'Carrie you know Josh isnt like that'
'I know I was just trying too guess. So are you going too tell me what it is?' I asked her.
She sighed 'I cant Carrie its too personal'
'Hailey we tell each other everything, what makes this any different?' I asked her.
'This is different because...if you found out you would...make fun off me' She says.
'Hailey you know I wouldn't do that, now come on what is it?' I questioned her.
She sighed and looked at me 'I cant tell you i'm sorry'
'Are you...nervous about you and Josh?' I suggested.
'No'
'Do you need advice about personal things with you and Josh?' I suggested.
'No'
'Is it...' I trailed off, I couldn't think of anything that might be wrong with her. Its too personal and she doesn't want to tell me it in case I make fun off her...and it includes Josh. Would could that be? Would could be so personal that she cant even tell me, and we both tell each other everything, we best friends. Maybe she isnt as close too Josh as I am too Tyler? Or...maybe she hasn't been that close with Josh...or maybe any other boy
'Are you a virgin?' I asked her, she looked back down at her food and didnt answer me.
'It is! That's what it is' I said.
'Shhhhh! Dont say it too loud' She ordered.
'Hailey I'm not going to make fun off you for that' I told her.
'Really?' She asked me.
'Reall-'

'Hello ladies' Josh said cutting me off. He sat down next to Hailey and Tyler came and sat down next to me.
'Hi' We both said.
'What are you talking about?' He asked us.
I smiled at him 'We were talking about our lessons we just had, he really dont like our teacher'
'Oh right, I hate my teachers too' Josh says. I turned and smiled at Tyler who put his arm around me too pull me closer. Today was actually going okay.

Claire's P.O.V

I had finished work now and I was heading home. Today turned out fine and I thought it wouldn't be, and that's mainly because I was testing on the vampire that bite my daughter. But you know that I cant test on him and bring him the pain he gave my daughter, i'm proud that I choose too work with Myrnin on this...well I didnt really have a choice but still its ok.

Walking into my house I took my coat of and shut the front door. I walked into the kitchen and started to make myself a drink, when Carrie isnt at home the house seems so quiet. Its better when Carrie is here though, she makes everything better for me. I guess it used to be good when Barry was here too, when I came home from work he would be home about 10 minutes after me. Its still a bit weird with Barry not around, I mean I did date him for about 5 years or more and I lived him him for years too. But then again dont think we should get on the subject off Barry.

As I sat down on the table I heard my phone bleep. I picked it up and looked down at my screen, Michael had sent me a message. I opened the message up and started to read it.
Michael: Got a surprise for you, ring me when you get this x
I frowned and clicked the green phone to ring him. I wasn't waiting long before he answered.
'Hello?' He answered.
'Hi' I said.
'Hi Claire' He says.
'Did you want me for something? A surprise or something?' I questioned him.
'Yes I did' He answered.
'Ok what is it?' I asked him.
'Well, its Shane's birthday soon and I wanted to throw him a surprise party. So i'v decided to invite the family down' He told me.
'That's great, when is it going to happen?' I asked him.
'We dont know yet since we dont exactly know who's coming but i'm thinking it will be soon' He replied.
'Alright, who was you thinking off inviting?' I asked him.
'People on Shane's family and people on my family. Shane and me are like brothers he's close to most people in my family' He tells me.
'Ok well tell me if you need anything and stuff wont you?' I ask.
'Yes I will but Claire dont tell him ok?'
'Of course I'm not going to tell him' I say.
'Ok good, see you soon then' He said.
'Bye!' I say.

I put the phone down and smiled to myself. Shane's surprise party is going to be amazing, its going to be like a big family reunion. Carrie can finally meet her family too. I cant wait to see Shane's face, its really going to be great and I'm going to make sure its the best birthday he has. Because I think we all know Shane deserves it, after all he has been through alot because off me and Carrie, and now we can finally make up for it.

I'm sorry I havnt uploaded! I hope your all not too mad at me. Anyway I thought it was about time Shane had a bit of happiness in his life, since everyone goes in moods with him and he's always arguing. Anyway what do you guys think off this family reunion thing for Shane's birthday? Please comment your thoughts. Thanks or reading :)
