The doctor cleaned me all up and left the room, I just wanted Shane's lips back on mine. He was sitting by my bed, I reached my hand over to him and he took. Are hands entwined, I pulled him closer to me and kissed him again. We were kissing for ages; he'd stood up and put his hands on my face avoiding the bruises. It felt like I was in heaven, I didn't even care that my mum and two best friends were watching.

"Great we have the lovey dovey couple back; we won't be able watch TV with out them having their tongues down each others throats"

I didn't pull my lips away from Shane just took one of my hands away from his head and flipped her off. Shane smiled and the others laughed. He pulled away to my disappointment.

"Hey we have plenty of time to do that"

I pouted and he just gave me a quick kiss.

My smile dropped from my face when my mother spoke.

"Claire, is it really him?" she whispered

I nodded "Yeh, he hasn't changed a bit"

"Oh god he found us, how?"

"I don't know, maybe because I was on the TV"

"But isn't that just in Morganville?"

"That's what I thought"

"Hey babe I won't let anything happen to you, I'm not letting you out of my site"

He gave me another kiss

"The same goes for us" Michael said and pointed to himself and Eve. The door opened and a doctor came in, at first I didn't think anything of it but then he looked familiar. It was Uncle David. I screamed and they all looked at me.

"Get away from me!" I yelled

Shane pulled my face so I was looking at him.

"Claire what is it?"

"It's…David"

They all gasped. Her mother cried and Shane's face turned red.

"Oh Claire you were always a very smart child, that's what I loved about you" he smiled

"You bastard!" Shane shouted and lunged for him

David grabbed him by the throat and pushed him up against the wall; Michael pulled him off him and growled and Shane sank to the floor. He had a bloody nose; he wiped it away with his sleeve. Michael helped him up from the floor and while he was doing it David came over to me. He pulled my hair, I let out a yelp; he pulled out a knife and held it above his head. My mother screamed, I looked over at her and gave her a fake smile to reassure her. I turn back to David, he smiles and then I swing around and punch him with all I've got; the knife drops from his hands and he follows it. I jump down from the bed, once again taking my wires out of my arm and get on top on him. I have both my hands around his throat watching as his face turns purple. I pick up the knife he is so desperately to reach and hold it to his neck.

"I was 8 years old and you raped me!" I screamed, my whole body shaking

"I…enjoyed it…very much" he coughed out

I pressed down harder with the knife, blood trickled down my hand and he let out a faint cry in pain.

"You killed them, Tiffany was only 4"

"I...wasn't…going…to kill…them...just…you!" he chocked out

"You were my uncle, you were supposed to be nice; you weren't supposed to come into my room at night and touch me. How could you? I was just a child" I whispered the last bit

He didn't reply.

"You ruined my life; you took my brother and sister away from me"

"Get…off me…now" he said

I didn't, he reached down into his trouser pocket and pulled something out; a gun. I had a flashback of that night. Tom falling to the floor, Tiff crying.

"Claire! No you can't take another child away from me" I heard my mother scream, she tried to get to me but Shane stopped her and held her back.

"No I can't lose another one!"

My hands left his neck and I slowly tried to get up but he grabbed me and pointed the gun where he had 10 years ago. My mum was still struggling against Shane's arms.

"Shut up Kathy or you'll be next"

"Don't tell me what to do, as far as I'm concerned you're not my brother anymore; you stopped being that the first time you touched my baby!" she shouted

"Well then I won't feel bad about killing you as well then!"

He turned and pointed the gun at my mum, Shane was standing behind her with his arms around her; stopping her from moving. There eyes were both wide, both bodies stuck on the spot.

"No!" I whispered

He loaded the gun, I screamed and jumped at him; he was winded. I was trying to get the gun out of his hands, my whole body was burning with pain but I couldn't stop; he was going to kill my mum and Shane was there too.

"Don't you dare point that gun at my mum, you don't want her you want me; leave her out of this"

"Oh Claire always so noble weren't you. You know Kathy she stopped me from doing the same thing to Tiffany. You always were a brave little girl; do you know what she said Kathy? She told me she wouldn't tell anyone if I didn't touch Tiffany, she said I could touch her"

"Only because I didn't want my baby sister to have to go through the same disgusting thing I went through, I didn't want you touching her; I would've done anything if it meant keeping my family safe as you well know David"

"Ah yes I remember, after our little agreement Claire saw me going into Tiffany's room; she wasn't very happy were you Claire. Things got a little messy"

"Claire what did you do?" her mum whispered

"I…stabbed him in the leg and told him that if I ever saw him near Tiffany again I'd aim much higher, like to his throat"

"Yes well for a small girl she was quite scary"

"I had to be when it came to Tiff, I wasn't going to let you hurt her"

I was still on top of him, still reaching for the gun. He lowered the gun from them and back to me, I let a sigh of relief; they would be safe.

"Claire please, don't…the baby" Shane cried

"Oh Claire you're pregnant, two for one" he said and smiled

"Don't you dare hurt her, you fucking bastard; I will kill you first" Shane yelled

"Like to see that seeing as I have the gun"

Michael stepped forward in front of Shane and my mum, David shot him; screams filled the room. Michael hadn't moved from his protective barrier around my mum and Shane, he had a huge smile on his face.

"What the…you should be dead" David moaned

"Sorry mate but it doesn't work like that" Michael shot back

So he pointed the gun at Eve, Michael didn't have time to protect her; she was screaming and I knew what I had to do. I jumped with all I had in front of that bullet; I screamed; reached down and punched him. The gun left his hands, I managed to get it before he did and I pointed it straight at him; I pulled the trigger. He didn't scream, he was already dead; bullet straight to the brain.

I dropped the gun and fell backwards panting, Shane and my mum had finally managed to break free of Michael and they came to me. Shane lifted me so I was in his lap, tears streaming down his face.

"No you can't leave me, not now; not just as we've got back together please Claire don't leave me. I need you"

"I…love…you"

"I love you too" he said and kissed my cold lips, his tears fell upon my face; our tears mixing.

"Claire honey I'm so sorry for everything"

"It's ok mum I forgive you"

From the corner of my eye I could see Michael and Eve hugging. They came closer to me and dropped to their knees.

"CB you can't die, not for me I won't let you" she murmured and I laughed, well tried to it hurt when I did and I clutched my wound

"It's a bit late now Eve, I couldn't let anyone else get hurt; not because of me. Tiffany and Tom were bad enough I can't let my best friend die too" I smiled

"We're getting help Claire just stay with me" Shane cried

There was silence, I was ready.

"I'm cold and I'm tired Shane, just let me go"
