Morganville Life,
Chapter 8.
Claire'sPOV
I never spoke the whole ride home. Shane couldn't tell me sure, neither could the others. But still. Edward ? My father ? I look nothing like that scrawny old bastard! If Michael's father was my 'pretend' father, then does that mean the me and Michael are some how related ? Ugh I dont know! Shane tried talking to me a couple of times but I was deep in my thoughts. I could hear mumbling in the background, but I ingnored it.
I turned to face Shane. He was asleep. The car came to a slow stop outside of the Glass House. I nudged Shane a bit.
"Shaaaane. We're home" I whispered.
"Hmmshooaway" He mumbled.
"No I won't go away. Come on. We are home I'm not kidding."
"Hmmwmever."
"Don't whatever me." A devilish grin came upon my face. "You leave me no choice."
"Hmmat?"
We made a rule that if we were sleeping, we would do something do get us up. I had the perfect solution.
I dialed Michael and told him to come outside.
He came out and I quietly opened the door.
"Pretend to eat me" I whispered.
"What. No"
"Do it" I said giving him a deathly stare.
So he did, he enlongated his fangs, and lightly rested them on my neck.
"This'll be great." I whispered.
"SHANE, SHANE VAMPIRE!" I screamed.
His eyes shot open and he looked all around. His face was so funny, it was shocked,horrified and confused. It was so funny and cute. His head shot left and right.
Michael rolled his fangs back up and we began laughing.
"What the fuck ? Claire ?"
"I told you. You left me no choice Shane baby."
"Cruel." He said, but smirked.
I pretend slapped his hand.
He brought it up to his chest, craddling it and pouting with puppy dog eyes.
"Ouch." He said in a wimpy voice.
"Oh shut up. C'mon."
I grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the cab.
Shane'sPOV
Not. Funny.
Claire'sPOV
I had forgotten about the whole Edward and Alice thing untill I sat down for dinner.
"Michael?" I said.
"Hmm?
"What's this thing about your father being mine or something ?" I asked.
Michael froze, with his fork in his mouth. He looked at me sideways in the same position. He looked at Shane and he nodded. Eve just shrugged and continued eating her spaghetti. Michael took his fork out and swallowed. Did he even chew that peice of food.
"How did you find that out ?" He asked.
"Alice. She took me and Shane down to CG, she said Oliver and her needed to talk to us. But Oliver never did anything."
"What did she say?" Michael asked.
"To much" Shane butted in.
"You mean she went THAT far?"
Shane nodded and silently took another bit of his spaghetti.
"Right Claire what'd she say ?"
"That Edward wants to take over, that he is my father, and your father was my father."
Michael never even blinked.
"Umm, excuse me."
And he walked out, he went to his room and slammed his door. Waw, normally Shane had the hissy fit.
"What do we do now? Claire knows" Eve said to Shane.
"We wait."
"Urmm, wait. I still don't get this." I said
"You won't the now honey. I'm still having trouble understanding it and I got told 4 years ago."
Shane sent her a look that clearly said "shut up".
"Fine what do you wanna do?" Eve asked.
"Zombie games! I wanna kick some zombies butts!" I said jumping up and down. I cleaned up after the mess I had made and I went into the living room. I heard Shane say to Eve,
"What happened to her?"
"She met you slayer."
I could just tell there was a grin on his face. I set up the xBox and loaded up the game. I had seen Shane do it enough times. By the time Shane came through, I was winning.
"Die stupid zombie! DIE!" I kept yelling.
Shane was laughing and picked up a controller.
"You know I can so beat you at this game right ?"
"Bite me Collins." I stole Eve's line.
"HEY! That's mine CB" Eve yelled from the kitchen.
"Okay," I yelled back.
"Want a game ?" Shane asked.
"Your on!"
Hey, again sorry it was short. Watcha think ?
