Two weeks later

Myrnin P.O.V.

'Wow….Only two weeks and already they are all moved in.'

The progression of moving the Morganville vampires and trusted citizens into Ipswich went smoother than anyone thought. The boys and Claire had yet to see hide or hair of Shane, Michael, or Eve.

But every day was making Claire more and more nervous. She wants to avoid a conflict between the groups, which, if you ask me, is a waste of time. It's inevitable after what Eve and Shane did to her that there would be some conflict.

"Myrnin!"

My head jerked up from where I was off in LaLa land.

"Yes, Milady?"

"We need to talk about Claire. I know how torn up about this she is, but I had no other choice."

'Hmm, this should be good.'

Claire P.O.V.

The boys were arguing with me trying to mediate.

"What are we supposed to do, just let them move right in?" Reid cried. I agreed with him.

"As long as they don't cause any trouble, it should be fine, Reid!"

At this point I had given up on meditating.

"Pogue, all Morganvilleis, is trouble. Do you know how many times I was nearly killed in that town? Too many to count. And people are going to die here, too, you do realize that don't you?"

That shut him up. It was quiet for a few minutes after that.

"Well, there's really nothing we can do about it now. They're already moved in." said Caleb, walking in the door.

"What?" Everyone cried.

Well, everyone but me. I was terrified of running into Eve and the rest of them. Well, not so muc Michael as Eve and Shane. Shane….I was over him, and I really love Reid, but it still hurt, what he did to me. No girl wants to be cheated on.

"…aire. CLAIRE!"

I jumped.

"What?"

"We were calling your name for like five minutes, and you weren't responding. Are you ok?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine, I was just thinking."

"'bout what?"

"About how much I do not want to see Eve or Shane."

That got everyone's attention, especially Reid's.

"I mean, who would want to see their ex and the woman he cheated on her with? Because I certainly don't. If I did, I would probably end up doing something stupid, like try to hurt Eve or kill Shane. Both of which scenarios I'd lose. But, anyway, what did you guys need?"

"Oh, Kate texted me. She wanted to know if you wanted to go shopping with her and Sarah."

"Yeah! That sounds fun, actually. I'll just go get ready and text her."

And with that I ran upstairs.

Reid POV

'That was strange. I've never seen her act like that. She must really be upset.'

"What was up with Claire?" Pogue asked no one in particular.

"She was talking almost as if she hadn't gotten over it. Over him."

That had my attention. What IF she hadn't gotten over Shane. Then were the last two weeks a joke to her?

'Wait, Reid, old boy, you're getting ahead of yourself. It's Claire! She's not the kind of person to do that to somebody.'

"Alright, I'm leaving." I heard from the hallway.

"Claire, wait!" I called after her.

I ran to the front door where she was standing, waiting.

I paused, just looking at her for a moment.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Oh! Sorry."

I hugged her. And then gave her a kiss, whispering, " Be safe."

And she walked away to her car with a blushy face that was so adorable .

And then, as her car pulled out, I noticed a black SUV pull out down the street and follow her.

Claire POV-9 pm

I had just said goodbye to Sarah and Kate when I got the strangest feeling that I was being followed. I dismissed the notion for a few moment while I walked to my car, and then I realized what an idiot I was. I had gotten so used to the safety of Ipswich that I had forgotten about the vampires in town.

Just as I thought that, I was hit from behind.

I felt hot breath on my neck and then I felt something poke me in the neck. I started thrashing.

"NO!" I screamed.

"Claire! It's me!" an all-too-familiar voice sounded in the night.

I whipped around, and there, crouched above me, was Michael Glass. My brother.

I felt tears prick at the backs of my eyes. I launched myself into his arms, sobbing.

"Shhh, shh." He cooed, trying to soothe me.

"I-I'm….s-s-so…s-s-sor-ry!" I hiccupped.

He pulled back to look me in the eye.

"What on Earth are you sorry for, Claire?" He asked, completely bewildered.

"I left without saying goodbye or anything! I just left you!"

"Claire, there was nothing you could've done. I couldn't have left even if I had wanted to. But I will tell you this; I kicked Eve and Shane right out. Some best friend and girlfriend they were. You had to do what you had to do to keep yourself sane and happy. I don't blame you. If I had been able, I would've left with you."

By then I had stopped crying. I didn't feel so bad after that little speech. Then, an idea popped into my head.

"Do you need somewhere to stay?" I asked.

"I've been staying in a hotel, so I suppose so, yeah. Why?"

"Because, there are plenty of spare rooms at my house, and, you will always be welcome to stay with me. My brother lives there too. Come on."

"Well,….I don't wanna be a burden."

"What are you talking about? My family is filthy rich, there is NO WAY you could be a burden. "

"Alright, I'll at least go and meet your brother."

"Brothers. And boyfriend."

His head turned to me.

"Already?"

"Michael, let me let you in on something. Something I figured out only after I had come home. I was only attracted to Shane because he reminded me so much of Reid."

"Ok, well, I wanna meet him. Hopefully he's not too much like Shane."
