OH MY GOD. I can't thank you guys enough seriously. Thank you so much for your reviews it really brightens my day and makes me feel all happy and giddy inside. I am so glad you are all liking my story, the amount of support is unreal. Love you guys! X
But I am sorry I didn't update, I'm really ill at the moment and on lots of medicine, so I won't be updating as often.

Claire POV
I woke up to bright sunlight, thank goodness I didn't burn. I climbed out of bed and looked at the clock on the bedside table. It read 08:23.
I smiled realizing it was a Saturday but only for that smile to disappear at the sight of the room, my bags were still laying around unsorted.
"I'll sort that out later." I muttered and grabbed my wash bag, I stepped out of my room and made my way to the bathroom. Only to then be pulled into to another room by someone else.
"What the fuck Eve." I whispered harshly at her, she was dressed in all her Goth glory.
"Listen I want to say I'm sorry, I was wrong and I should never have gone against you. I'm sorry CB." She said, her eyes full of sadness.
"Come here." I said enveloping her in a hug.
"Best friends?" She asked smiling.
"Yeah, now go make some pancakes I'm starving." I laughed at her. We both exited the room, she went downstairs whilst I went into the bathroom. I stripped off my clothes and got into the shower. The warm water was nice flowing down my back, I then washed my hair before getting out.
Afterwards I brushed my teeth and returned to my room. I dried my hair and applied make up, then slipped a pair of jeans with a white top and my red flannel shirt. I sighed and walked downstairs, I could smell pancakes surprisingly.
I walked into the kitchen where Eve was cooking, I put my shirt on the chair and sat down. As sickening as it sounds, I could smell the blood in the fridge and it made me feel thirsty. I tried to regain control and act normal, if I slipped up once, my safety was out the window.
As soon as I became calm again Michael walked into the room, I sighed and leaned on my arm.
"Am I really that bad?" He chuckled and grabbed a sports bottle before sitting opposite me.
"It's not you, it's me." I said.
"Hm, I'm sure that line is for breakups." He said sarcastically and grinned. Jesus that rock star smile was a killer.
"Are you alright Claire?" Eve asked and put a plate of pancakes on the table.
"Yeah, I'm just tired. And I'm over thinking everything." I said, hoping they'd leave me alone, I really didn't want them to ask me anymore questions.
"Do you want any aspirin?" Eve asked and sat next to me.
"No thanks, painkillers don't seem to have an effect on me." I blurted without thinking. Michael gave me a funny look, I ignore his glare and smiled at Eve.
Michael POV
She was lying, I could tell. Me and Eve both exchanged glances, she bit her lip and threw a questioning look. Claire began to eat her pancakes along with Eve, ever since she stepped in the house she was acting weirdly.
I opened the paper and began to read inside. I was shocked to find another vampire had been killed last night, the riots were getting worse each week and the vampires couldn't do anything about it. The humans had a good leader this time, Sebastian Evans. He hated vampires to the core and used to be good friends with Shane and his dad.
"You look like you've seen a ghost Michael." Eve said, and stopped eating.
"Another vampire was killed last night." I said with emptiness. I knew soon the elder vampires were going to start being attacked, and we couldn't do anything about it.
"Who was it?" Claire said with concern. She was close to many vampires, too many. That's why people wanted her, as blackmail.
"Rebecca Kingsley." I replied and put the paper down.
"I knew her, she was close with Oliver. She used to come in Common Grounds every day." Eve stated and shook her head.
"Well if she was close with Oliver then they're not gonna take it nicely" Claire said and looked at her hands. Hell any vampire death, the elders never take it nicely.
"So I'm guessing it wasn't a peaceful death." Eve muttered softly. I looked back at the paper, then at Eve again.
"They tied her up in sliver and left her out until sunlight." I said emotionlessly, it was disgusting the way she had died, the way the humans just acted ruthless and brutal was shameful.
"Oh my God." Claire said in shock covering her hands over her mouth.
"How could people do that? Its shocking." Eve said shaking her head.
"I know." I replied. I wasn't sure how to react anymore, I knew they would eventually come after me. But accepting it was difficult.
"I'm gonna go and finish my work." Claire muttered and walked upstairs, unaware I could hear her every move.
"Something is defiantly up with her." Eve said and gripped her mug of coffee.
Claire POV
As soon as I was in my room I slammed the door and sank to the floor. I hugged my body and began rocking forwards and back. I was truly scared, the humans were killing vampires who hadn't done anything and yet they wanted me as blackmail.
I felt tears slip down my cheeks, my life had gone wrong. I should be in a completely different college away from Morganville, in fact I would have graduated by now if I weren't here.
I took in a deep breath and stopped crying when I heard Michael and Eve.
"Something is defiantly up with her." Eve said. Shit I was making them suspicious and it was only the second day.
"I know, I just can't figure it out." He said.
"Well she looks ill. Her skin is paler, she doesn't eat as much and she's thinner. I think I might take her to the doctors." Eve suggested to him. I panicked, if she took me to the doctors then they'll find out about me.
"Don't Eve, she's stressed already over what happened. I'll ask Amelie if anything has happened." Michael replied. I felt a bit better because I knew Amelie wouldn't say anything.
I was about to go downstairs again when I heard giggles and laughter from the other side of the hallway. It was Kim and Shane, I nearly gagged. They smelt awful compared to the others, Michael and Eve was a mixture of coffee, vanilla and of course that blood. But Shane and Kim, they smelt of sex and cheap cologne.
I heard them walk downstairs and sighed with relief, honestly I couldn't bare walking into them. I quickly checked my makeup before slipping on my boots only to realise I left my shirt downstairs.
"Shit." I cursed and silently began to walk downstairs, they were all in the kitchen.
"Be nice Claire." I thought to myself and rolled my eyes, I didn't know what reaction I would get.
I walked in the room earning a glare from Shane and Kim. "You alright CB?" Eve smiled at me, trying to cover the awkwardness.
"Yeah, I left my shirt in here. I'm going out for a bit." I replied trying to act natural, after I heard their conversation.
"Where you going?" She asked politely and threw my shirt at me.
"Library, need some books on alchemy, I'll probably go Common Grounds while I'm out." I replied and put on my shirt. Shane and Kim had stayed silent apart from the odd whisper to each other.
"Get some doughnuts while you're out then." Michael laughed, I flipped him the bird and chuckled.
"Actually Claire can you get some of that taco stuff as well." Eve giggled, knowing I'd be a bit pissed.
"Sure." I said rolling my eyes and leaving. She said goodbye and I left the house. It was about midday so I'd only have a few hours, I sighed and stepped on the street and was about to cross the road when someone stood beside me.
"Excuse me, you probably don't know me but are you Claire Danvers?" He said, I looked at him. He had shaggy brown hair like Shane with blue eyes.
"Yes and you are?" I asked and shot a look at him.
"I'm Sebastian, I was wondering if you still live at the Glass House. I'm friends with Shane and I heard about your breakup." He smiled. He seemed friendly but Shane had never mentioned him before so I knew I couldn't trust him.
"Well no, I was just arranging for when I was going to collect the rest of my stuff. I actually now live on the other side of town." I replied flashing a fake smile. I didn't trust him despite what he said.
"Okay, you have a good day miss." He said believing the smile, I said goodbye and crossed the street. That was weird, very weird.
Okay that's another one done! I'm currently writing the next chapter now and in the next few chapters something is going to happen. *Evil Face*
