Chapter two: Answer!

Claire's Pov:

"It has to come from Shane," Michael said.

"Fine I'll ask him." I walked off out of the kitchen with Michael behind me as I walked into the living room with Eve sitting on the sofa reading a magazine and Shane sitting next to her playing a game of Zombville. "Video games there bad for you, and should you try reading a book or maybe do something better?" As I said that Shane seemed to go still letting himself killed in the game.

"Shane are you ok?" Eve asked.

Shane's Pov:

As she said that to me it clicked who she was, of what happened after she left.

Flashback: eight years ago outside the Danvers's house:

I ran to Claire's house and saw her parents where packing boxes into the back of the car. "Morning Mr and Mrs Danvers where are you going?" I asked.

"Morning to you too Shane, were packing because Claire hasn't…been herself since Carrie was taken from us." As Mrs Danvers said that I looked up into Claire's room to see her staring at me with wild eyes she was just looking at me, it scared me to see her like that.

"Could I go say goodbye to her Mrs Danvers?"

"Of course just be careful." She warned me. I went into the empty house and up to Claire's room I pasted Carrie's old room and as I reached Claire's room she was staring at me again. She jumped in front of me making me jump back.

"Hey Claire," I said shakily.

"Shane it's not fair I don't want to leave." She said. I did the only thing I could think. I hugged her; she seemed unsure at first but soon hugged me back. "Don't forget to do your homework also video games there bad for you, and shouldn't you try reading books or maybe do something better?" she suggested.

"I'll do it for you Claire."

"I love you Shane." She started blushing and I was shocked because we promised after the accident in class we wouldn't say anything about it. Wait she wasn't. "I know you don't feel the same…" I stopped her by kissing her and she seemed shocked but soon kissed me back. It was better than the first time.

"I love you too Claire."

Her mother soon came up to get Claire she came over and carried her and I then noticed that Claire couldn't walk because she'd become a cutter. Her legs all cut up because she was upset over losing her sister. They got into the car and drove off I waved bye to Claire and Michael, Eve and Alyssa came to my side and we all waved goodbye to Claire. Maybe forever.

End of Flashback:

"How can you be here?" I asked her, not looking at her because if I looked at her I would remember how she looked at me the last time we saw each other and what her legs had looked like and that hurt me to see that.

"I got out after my… the doctors said I could and I was accepted into the university here and they wanted to keep me close." She lied, I knew she was lying but some of it was true to what she was saying but what was the truth in the lie?

"Don't lie to me Claire, you promised when we first met that we wouldn't lie to each other." I said I could tell that she was remembering because Carrie was a part of the memory.

"I remember," she seemed to remember like it was something painful.

Flashback: fourteen years ago, outside the Danvers house:

I was out with my mom and baby sister Alyssa and I stopped to see a girl with long brown hair and in a pink dress. She stared at me as I stared at her, she cocked her head to the side – she seemed to be studying me – my mom soon realised I had stopped and saw who I was looking at. "Shane go over to her, she seems lonely." She called to me; the girl smiled and looked to her left and a girl who looked exactly the same. "Oh you're the Danvers twins aren't you?" my mom asked to the girls.

"Yes we are" they replied together it scared me to think they could say that in perfect unison.

"Shane I'll go to the shop with Alyssa why don't you three get to know each other." She called as she walked down the road leaving me with two strange girls. I turned around to find the twins behind me staring at me.

"Hi I'm Carrie, you have nice eyes." Said the girl with what I noticed a red ribbon around her neck then the other girl who seemed to be really shy was looking at her sister.

"I'm Claire your name is Shane Collins right?" she asked me and she had a black ribbon around her neck.

"Yeah I'm Shane, Shane Collins nice to meet you."

After that everything went by in a blur I just remember that we were playing games all afternoon and it seemed to go on forever as we played guess who. "You're Carrie." I pointed to Carrie who was on the left but she shook her head but I knew I was right. "It's not good to lie." I said.

"Hang on how you knew it was me?" she asked shocked.

"Because you were a red ribbon ad Claire wears a black one." I explained to them.

"Ok I think we should make a promise together that from now on and till forever as were friends that we should never lie to each other." Claire suggested to us it seemed like she hated lying so I had to say it did seem like a good idea.

"I think that's a brilliant idea Claire." I said to her, then Carrie agreed and we finished the pact of our promise to each other.

End of Flashback:

"Look I can't tell you the reason I'm really here and you've only just remembered me again but I had you on my mind all the time." She looked like she was going to break down in front of me. "I can't do this anymore I'd rather live in the dorms with Monica least then I won't feel this ever again."

"Claire I'm sorry that I forgot about you but you're not the only one who suffered." I shouted, I wish I could have taken that back but seemed to understand what I had said I was guessing Michael had told her.

I'd lost my sister/ she lost her sister

My house burnt down/ she went insane

I went on the run/ she was sent to the hospital

I agreed to come back to Morganville to get rid of all Vamps / she came back for school

My mom died/ she's keeping a secret

"Claire I just don't care that Eve and Michael never told me about you but why should you care?" I asked her already knowing the answer.

"Shane don't pretend that my last day in Morgan…" I stopped her by kissing her, it was like the first time we kissed she was shocked at first when I kissed her and so was I by my actions but we melted into the kiss.

Flashback: eight years ago Morganville Junior high school Science room:

The teacher was going on about something about space and don't get me wrong I was listening but I couldn't concentrate like usual I couldn't stop thinking about Claire she sat at the front with Carrie because they were really interested in science more Physics for Claire and Chemistry for Carrie. I was soon picked out of my daydream by the teacher Mr Dickson who was true to his name a Dick. "So Mr Collins what is the answer to my question?" he asked me but I hadn't heard his question.

"What was the question sir?" I asked him everyone laughed at this not Claire or Carrie they took everything to do with School seriously.

"The question Mr Collins is there anything in space?" that was a dumb question but from a dumb teacher what would you expect.

"Well I know there's no gravity or oxygen in space is that the answer?" he seemed to see it was impossible to argue with me today because of my super intelligence and I looked at Claire and she smiled at me and it made me feel more better than winning my fight with Mr Dickson.

The school bell went for end of the day I packed my things into my bag and Claire and Carrie came over to me at the back of the class and someone pushed me into Claire making me fall and landing on her but our lips were touching. I was shocked at first but then I felt something in the way it felt and we soon started kissing softly. I got up from the floor first after realizing that people were still in the room and I helped Claire up and Monica soon came over. "I'll get you Danvers." She threatened, and walked away and I looked at Claire who had gone red in the face I knew I had as well.

End of Flashback:

She pulled away like she had control. "Ville never happened Shane and the only reason you kissed me is to make me shut up" she finished.

"That's not why kissed you, Claire I really care about you. Remember you told me you loved me and I told you that I loved you as well. I haven't had a girlfriend since I was ten because I knew deep down Claire that I was still in love with you." I said and Claire seemed to fight her feelings with in her I could see it in her eyes.

Claire's Pov:

How could he love me the girl he saw go insane and cut herself so she felt real pain that could be felt instead of the pain in my heart for my sister? I was ten and I went to a special hospital outside of Morganville that specialized in my case and so I could be under strict care. "Shane please I love you too but… I just can't." he looked hurt by what I said and I was the one who was hurting him and that hurt me. "Shane I heard from Michael about Alyssa I'm really sorry." I said, I wasn't trying to change the subject I just needed to know what happened to the guy I loved sister who was one of my best friends and why I'd only heard of this now and not when it had happened.

"Claire don't change the subject" he looked like he was going to cry as if he was remembering now what had happened to Alyssa.

"I'm not you know Alyssa was one of my best friends, I really only just found out about this." I told him. "And I really need to know how this happened."

"Fine I'll tell you what happened…

Flashback: six years ago Morganville High school hallway: Shane's pov:

I was walking down the hallway of school and someone grabbed me from behind pulling me into the janitor's closet. The light went on and it showed me the one person I knew at the time I hated but I wasn't sure why. Monica Morrell. "Go away Monica I'm really not in the mood I have to get to detention and I can't be late again so move out of my way."

"Don't worry I'll make it quick I promise." She said as she pulled down my flyers of my jeans and at first I couldn't move but then I became angry like I was betraying someone and I pushed her away from me.

"Stay away from me Monica I don't like you and I never will." I demanded and walked out of the closet and she gave me an evil look and I didn't know what was going to happen.

One year later Collins house in Shane's room:

I was sitting in my room playing my video game I was shouting at the TV to kill some guys then I smelt something horrible like something was burning I got up from my bed and paused my game. When I went into the hallway from my bedroom I could see smoke coming from downstairs, I ran down to the outside of the house to see people watching as my house burnt. I saw my parents watching my mom crying and I didn't see Alyssa there with my parents I knew she was somewhere in the house and I had to get to her. I ran over to my parents demanding to know where she was and they seemed scared then I heard a sickening scream from inside the house it reminded me of something like had forgotten but I didn't know what. I tried getting into the house but someone was stopping me and I struggled with all my might as the house burnt and so was my sister.

Soon after the fire engines came and told us they'd found a small girls burnt body my mom cried into her hands, the Founder came to us in after than she gave us money for my sister's death ad that night we left Morganville.

End of flashback:

"I'm so sorry I shouldn't have asked you to tell me that it isn't fair and I know how you feel as you well know and I really am so sorry for what happened Shane." Claire seemed to care but I just hadn't told her why I had come back to Morganville after so long from being away.

Flashback: four years ago some Motel:

It had been a year since Alyssa had died and my mom seemed to be depressed like me and dad but I was out getting high and dad was getting drunk at any bar he wasn't banned from. Once mom asked if I remembered Morganville and it kept me getting closer to what Morganville was full of and that was VAMPIRES.

I ran away to get my head all clear from the memories that had been so hazy and when I came back to the Motel close to night fall I looked around the place to find my mom but she wasn't anywhere, I went into the bathroom and there she was in the bathtub in her own blood.

My dad came back and found me crying in the corner I told him everything and he soon remembered we called the police and ambulance and some people in black suits came and asked us some questions but they seemed satisfied from what we said and left.

Two years later some other Motel:

"Shane get into here now before I drag you in here boy." I heard my dad shout for me in the living room of the Motel room. I went into the room with my dad and some of his new biker friends and it didn't look good.

"Yes dad what is it you want?" I asked hoping it was some drinks that I was then have to leave this place away from these losers and so I could clear my head.

"Remember what we discussed about you going back to Morganville to find the head Vamp and the vamps hot spots and it has to be soon Shane." He told me, I nodded once and I walked off to clear my head and then I saw a taxi out front and my dad came behind me and handed me a bag and I got into the taxi to the hell hole of planet Earth.

End of Flashback:

It was morning and I was tired of remembering everything that's happened in my life and I hated remembering the promise I had made to my Father. I got up to have breakfast and Eve was gone to work, Claire had gone to school and Michael as always was nowhere to be seen not till night. I started the day like usual by playing some video games then I thought about what Claire use to say to me and got up and went to the bookshelf and saw some new books there they were the ones me, Claire and Carrie use to read when we were ten and I got one and started reading.
