Hi everyone. Once again, I'm really sorry about the late update but I had another week of being bombarded with homework, project work and I was so tired each night, that I honestly had no energy to write. Thanks everyone for reviewing, following and adding to their favourites, it really means a lot. Oh and I have writers block kinda bad so..this chapter isn't one of my best D:
Shane's P.O.V -
Claire's words echo in my mind.
'Kill me'.
A shiver ran down my spine as her lips brushed against my flesh, pausing where the pulse is strongest on my neck. I held my breath and slowly reached up and gripped Claire's shoulders. Suddenly, her hands slammed against my chest and I stumbled backwards, tripping over my own feet, until I landed on the floor with a thud. Ignoring the pain coursing through my body, I lifted my head to see Claire stalking towards me. Her eyes were wide and glowed a crimson red and two fangs glistened, menacingly.
"C-Claire?", I whispered.
Her eyes flickered brown and hope surged through me. But the hope disappeared as a growl erupted from her lips and her red eyes pierced my own, before she lunged towards me. Her body crashed into mine, pushing me flat to the ground with her on top of me, nails digging into the skin of my arms as she held me down. I struggled against her but my attempts were feeble.
Claire had no control over herself.
This side of her was a monster.
I needed her back. A gasp escaped my mouth as her fangs pressed dimples into my flesh.
"Claire!", I shouted.
A loud bang suddenly echoed around the room and I glanced over Claire's shoulder to see Michael and Eve standing in the doorway, horrified expressions on their faces. Claire's head whipped around and she growled loudly, rising to her feet. Eve's eyes widened and Michael pushed her behind him, his own eyes turned red and his fangs were bared.
"Get away!", Claire screamed.
She collapsed to her knees and buried her face in her hands, her body shaking. I staggered to my feet and winced at the pain in my body. Michael glanced at me, his eyes their normal shade of blue and shook his head as I stumbled over to Claire.
"Shane...don't", He urged.
A loud sob erupted from Claire and she lifted her head, to stare at me with tear-filled brown eyes. Her lower lip trembled and her fangs grazed them. Red sparks flashed in her eyes as I neared her and she slowly edged backwards on the floor.
"Stay away from me...please, just stay away. All of you", She mumbled.
Tears streamed down her face. My chest ached with longing to hold her in my arms. It was killing me to see her this way, fighting with herself. Fighting to control herself. Michael placed his hand on my shoulder and gently pushed me out of the room, Eve following close behind.
"Michael, I can't leave her like this!", I shouted.
"Shane...please, I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to hurt anyone...and I was serious about what I asked you. If you won't do it, then I'll find someone else or I'll do it myself", Claire spoke, her voice flat and emotionless.
The bedroom door slammed shut and I stood in the hallway, my body frozen. Claire wanted to die and she didn't seem to care. I couldn't lose Claire.
Review? Please and thank you. God, I'm so tired, I spent about 3 hours doing homework today and I keep nearly falling asleep D:
