Chapter 6

It was 5pm before I started to feel slightly nauseous.

"Umm Myrnin I don't feel too well" It felt like I was burning up, which is strange considering I'm not technically human.

He frowned and moved towards me feeling the skin on my arm.

The next second he was gone and I started to disappear. "MYRNIN" I yelled, "what's happening to me?" I went into panic mode.

"Relax Claire, everything is ok" He was once again in front of me, trying to calm me down.

"Everything is not ok, I'm fading away" I couldn't believe he wasn't taking my situation seriously.

"I've turned the machine off. It was overheated. We'll turn it back on once it's cooled down.

"How long will that…" before I could finish, I was a ghost once again. No no no no no! I yelled at know one.

Myrnin must of known what I was about to ask "tomorrow morning…if I turn it back on any sooner, I fear I'll damage the generator." He went and got himself a blood bag and a stack of papers before sitting on the couch. "In the meantime I'll finish going over the notes you wrote earlier."

Great I thought to myself. What should I do in the meantime?

SHANEPOV

I knew it was dark outside, but I needed fresh air, I needed to be away from Eve and Michael for a while.

"Shane man where are you going…it's dark out" Michael blocked my way to the door.

I pushed passed him before looking him in the eye "It's not you… its me" I told him dryly.

He rolled his eye's and laughed "dude your breaking up with me…I'm hurt."

Eve decided to join us "What's going on?" she demanded.

Michael smiled at her "Shane's breaking up with me" he laughed again.

Eyeing us both, with her hands on her hips. She shook her head before muttering "Good, maybe now you'll put more effort into making me happy, like doing the dishes once in a while."

There was a minute of silence before I said "Soooooo I'm gonna go now, I think I'll go for a walk to common grounds." I opened the front door "I'll text you guys when I get there if that makes you feel better."

Michael nodded in a way that said 'ok man, see ya later' and I shrugged in a way that said 'yeah whatever dude.'

Now on the path outside the Glass house, I looked up at the stars wondering if Claire was up their somewhere, watching me.

What would she be thinking? I can't imagine she'd be happy to know that I quit work. I find myself constantly wondering why it had to be her. Why she had to die, she didn't deserve it, she saw the best in everyone... she was perfect.

For some reason I found myself out the front of grandma day's home. Grandma day had a shotgun in her hand, it was pointed at me.

"Who is it…show yourself" she was squinting. Obviously having trouble seeing me in the shadows. I smiled at her.

"It's ok, It's just me, Claire's boy…" my smile faulted. I was just about to say boyfriend, as in I'm currently still her boyfriend. "I was her friend," I say covering up my mistake as best as I could.

Grandma Day lowered her gun "Ah yes, Claire. She was a lovely young girl, such a beautiful soul. I miss her company, she was one of a kind that girl" She told me with fondness.

Tears sprung to my eyes, but I used every ouch of strength I had to make them go away.

"She was a smart little cookie wasn't she…though I kept telling her to stop visiting the trapdoor spider, but she was determined to do otherwise" she added with a frown on her face.

"The trapdoor spider?" I whispered. She must be referring to Myrnin. I could distantly hear her explaining about the horrible things that was happening and a crazy Vampire terrorizing this side of Town. Yeah she's definitely talking about Myrnin.

"I think I'll go visit this Vampire" I replied.

I didn't know why I felt compelled to visit the lab, but for some reason I felt Claire's presence coming from there.

One of the reasons I left the Glass house was because I couldn't feel her in there anymore and I was lost. I know its stupid to think that she's still with me, because she's dead, but that illusion of her presence is the only thing that keeps me sane. If I was to be honest I probably would have already done something stupid and got myself killed. Worst-case scenario…I could have taken my own life.

Shaking my thoughts away I made my way to his door and knocked. I still wasn't sure what I would say once he let me in…if he let me in.

The door creaked open and I peaked down the stairs to see the lights were on. I remember Claire once telling me that Myrnin only keeps the lights on when she's working. He told her he had no need for them. This made me curious as to why they were on.

"HELLO" I yelled out, there was a crash from inside the lab before Myrnin stood in front of me with a book and goofy grin on his face.

"Shane what a…interesting surprise. Claire will be happy to see you" he looked happy. "You can't see her at the moment but I'm sure she's listening" He smiled.

I didn't know if I wanted to kill him for saying that, or feel sorry for him, his obviously delusional.

I went with feeling sorry for him…for now. It dawned on me then that I was in Myrnin's lab, with nothing to say, but the thought that I needed to be in his home. If I was an outsider I'd say 'that dudes so gay' and I'm pretty sure Mikey would agree with me.

But I'm not gay, and I'm not here for Myrnin. I'm here because… shit I don't know why I'm here, but once again it's definitely not for Frankenstein here.

Myrnin looked uncomfortable "can I help you Shame" he said, now standing in the middle of his lab with his arms crossed.

"IT'S SHANE," I growled.

CLAIREPOV:

I can't believe it. His finally here and I have no body or form. It's not fair, I don't know how long it'll take to bring me back. I'll be spending all my time here trying to find a way. I won't be able to see him again.

I floated towards him and looked up into his beautiful brown eyes, but there wasn't any joy in them like there used to be. All I saw was sadness and a broken look that could never be mended again. It made me want to cry.

"Can I help you Shame" Myrnin asked looking uncomfortable.

"IT'S SHANE" He growled.

I could tell Myrnin knew that, but was trying to break the ice in his own Myrnin kind of way. "Yes well that matters little, as to why you are in my Lab" He growled the last bit. Obviously displeased that Shane didn't appreciate his attempt.

Shane looked confused. I don't think he even knew why he was here. I prayed that maybe somewhere in him, he knew I was here and that is why he came.

"I was speaking to Grandma day and she said you've been causing trouble out…Claire would be ashamed of you" He knew that Myrnin craved my approval on the things he'd do. Shane's voice became very low "If you harm anyone around here, I'll put a stake through your heart. Claire isn't here anymore to cover your white arse…you got it?" he questioned.

"I can assure you that I haven't left my Lab in weeks and I always dress something to cover my behind thank you…though if she ever asked to dress me I would not be opposed to the idea."

Ewww I thought to myself.

Shane's body began to shake and his voice sounded positively deadly. "Claire died and you say something that crude, have you no decency."

I'm sure this wasn't going to go anywhere pleasant. I saw Shane take a silver stake out of his pocket and Myrnin take a fighters position "She is still alive."

This only infuriated Shane further and before I could blink, Shane was on him, throwing punches. "You're a monster, I don't know what she ever saw in you," he snarled while trying to stake him.

Myrnin threw him off of him until he smashed into one of the lab walls so hard that it left a crack. This didn't faze Shane though. He simply jumped back on his feet and went for Myrnin again.

"STOP IT…STOP IT" I screamed, but they couldn't hear me. The grunts and the sound of punching kept on coming. I ended up covering my ears and closing my eye's.

I don't know how long it went on for but when it did stop all I heard was complete silence. I opened my eyes to see Myrnin's bedroom door was now lying on the floor and he was outside the door, Shane must be inside his room.

I floated over to the opening to his room and saw Shane leaning over my incubator, with his hands shaking, about to lift the lid.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR REVIEWS I REALLY APPRECIATE THEM. :)
