Chapter four – secrets!

Michael's Pov:

Claire coming back was great news for all of us mostly for Shane he seemed different today while I watched him he was reading a book it seemed good for him. I had all of my friends back and I needed them like when that old Vampire Oliver came round to the house if they had been there then they'd be dead but maybe if Shane, Claire and Eve growing up in Morganville wasn't such a downer it meant we knew how to look after are selves and that's what would of happened.

Flashback: one year ago Glass House:

I was sitting around in the living room and the doorbell went I got up from my seat and I answered the door to him but he seemed human at first, he asked to come into the house and that he had come for one of the spare rooms for rent. I let him into the house and something came over me like the house was trying to tell me something.

The next thing I knew he came running at me (Vamp speed) fangs hanging out and everything went black as he plunged his fangs into my neck. I woke up on the floor of the living room it was dark outside and everything seemed back to normal like what happened to me was just a dream. I tried to leave the house but I felt a pain in my stomach and I started drifting away it accrued to me that I could never leave the house ever again.

End of flashback:

It was night again and I started to come into my human form and it seemed as it happened that I heard a gasp from someone standing at the door behind me. I turned around slowly and I saw who it was… it was Claire.

"What the hell happened to you while I was gone and tell me everything!" she shouted at me. I was trying to calm her down before I spoke but it didn't seem like she was going to until I told her.

"It was Oliver he came here to the house and killed me; he was trying to change me into a vampire." I said quietly. She seemed shocked at first and hugged me tightly.

"I'm so sorry Michael I really am, I'm so, so sorry I really wish I had been here and never left." She kept hugging me and I had to ask something that had been bugging me. As I was about to ask her something important the doorbell went off. "Who could that be?" she asked me, I just shrugged my shoulders and we both went down the stairs to see who would be calling us at this time at night. We went downstairs to see Shane talking to a middle aged man with blond hair and green eyes. He was wearing a suit and a white doctor's coat. But why was he here?

"Who's this?" I asked Shane from the bottom step.

"He's Dr Gilmore from the hospital" Claire said she seemed to be scared of him but why he didn't seem like he would hurt anyone or was it because of all the time she had spent living there in that hospital.

"Claire you know why I'm here to see you after the six year period departure. It's only to see how you're doing and haven't relapsed." He said and what was he on about six year departure but before I could ask what he was talking about Claire spoke up again.

"No I haven't had one and I didn't have one when it was their funeral you can go now Dr Gilmore." She said and she was saying their funeral not hers but it didn't make sense and he said six years but I was told she had only just gotten out of there.

He gave Claire a small talk in private and handed her something she didn't seem to want and he left saying goodbye to us all and she got a strange look from Shane after he left. "Leave me alone Shane I don't want to talk about It." she seemed to have seen the look and upset about what had happened. She was about to walk away upstairs but Shane stopped her.

"No I won't you said you'd only just come out of the hospital and what happened who's funeral was that man talking about?" Shane asked and Claire started crying and Eve came through the front door from her late shift at Common ground. Shane went over to her pulling her into his embrace. "Claire you have to tell us we all promised never to lie to each other please Claire you have to tell us." She pulled away from Shane like he'd burned her, the look on her face showed she was scared and shocked by this.

"It was my parent's funeral that's what he was talking about and I left the hospital six years ago it happened after I left." She said I couldn't believe this Claire was all alone she had no one left just us.

"How did it happen?" I asked and she looked at me and she started to tell us.

Flashback: Claire's Pov: Special Hospital Seven years ago

I was sitting in my room on the bed looking at the pictures of me and my friends and with Carrie. I had been here at the hospital for a year now, my doctor Dr Gilmore had told my parents that I had been getting better but they still needed time to get everything ready for when I came home. Dr Gilmore agreed. I hadn't hurt myself after I had seen Dr Gilmore he understood me but I only cared about seeing my parents and being away from Shane.

Then a year later I got let out of the hospital I had my discharge and I waited for my parents but they didn't come they didn't pick me up I guess that was my first clue. I walked off out of the hospital they gave me directions to the new house and I made my way home. I was getting closer to the hospital and it was great to feel the sun on my face again. I got to the house and I noticed the front door was open a small crack I got to the door and opened it slowly and saw bloody handprints on the side of the walls I ran to look for my parents in every room. I soon found them and they were lying in a puddle of their own blood and I saw a note in my father's hand. I took the letter and read it.

Claire

Remember the vampires just find him your friends need you and so does everyone in Morganville. Get them out of there and we both love you find him and we will always love you and we will wait for you in heaven.

From Mother Father

End of Flashback: Shane's Pov:

I couldn't believe it she was like me all alone in the world with no family there for her, I didn't understand the letter her parents left her that was something I didn't understand at all. "What did your parents mean by him in the letter?" I found myself asking her.

"My uncle from my Father's side of the family he's a vampire hunter." She answered I was gobsmacked that Mr Danvers the one who always seemed smart and sensible had a vampire brother in the family and Claire had maybe become a vampire hunter as well like her uncle. "Yes Shane I became a vampire hunter as well with my uncle's help. I'm here to get my revenge on Monica for what she did and I know why you're here as well Shane." It was like she had read my mind and I saw Michael and Eve both looking at me shocked and I was also shocked that Claire knew this only a few people knew about this about me coming back here to Morganville.

"How did you know that?" I asked she seemed happy by me asking this.

"I was one of your dads, Frank's men like my uncle was and I was told by your dad to look after you Shane because I have more experience in this area than you do. Well even your dad and his friends." She said but she wasn't proud of it but she seemed something about it.

"What you mean you have more experience that Shane?" Eve asked and I had to agree with that question no way could she have more experience than me.

"I'm sorry I can't say what you are asking me I'm really sorry Eve." She replied to Eve, it seemed to me she wasn't so experienced as she claimed so I used all that I had learned in my training and attacked her full force we both went down together onto the floor she pushed me off her with ease kicking me to the floor again as I was getting up she jumped onto me and leaned her head down to kiss me on the check. "See but against a vamp you'd have been dead anyway I've learned from a real vampire hunter not your push over like your dad." She said it hit me that I had seen some girl fighting at the hotel we'd been staying me with my dad and she'd won against a big guy three times the size of her. She must have noticed that it had clicked who she was. She had, had cuts and bruises all over her body I had noticed a black eye then it must have been the training she had gone through. My dad had called her a freak but also our secret weapon against the vampires she was special he had said. But how was she special?

"How are you special?" I asked her she seemed shocked by this question and got up from on top of me and sat down on the stairs behind Eve like she were a vamp.

"Dangerous maybe, special not too sure about that, deadly definitely yes and I would keep away from me if I were you." She said she wasn't proud of what she had said but more sad. Eve turned around to face Claire behind her and looked her straight in the eye.

"What do you mean what are you?" Eve asked beating me to it.

"I can cast spells and change at a full moon what am I?" she riddled and walked up the stairs I soon heard the secret door open and close.

"What exactly is that supposed to mean?" Eve asked and I kept starring at the stairs after Claire and Michael was looking at me.

"Shane so you came back here to kill some vampire's?" Michael asked me and I just guess I should tell the truth about why I was here but I was here for him as well I just had another reason as well.

"No I'm here to map out Morganville so the weapon could destroy them and I only did it because it's a hell whole of a place full of vampires that need to die." I replied with the truth and then saw Michael's eyes something strange and I couldn't tell what it was.

"Shane you've got to stop this it's not right we have to stop Claire as well because this can get you both killed and Eve and I don't want that for you. And I know you two don't want that either."

"I'm doing this for my sister and my mom and Claire's got her reasons for all her family being destroyed." I said.

"I know that but you can't do this not anymore you need to stop this please." Eve said surprisingly.

Then someone knocked on the door and I looked at them shrugging my shoulders, we went to the door. Then Claire came from nowhere and she pushed us all out of the way from the door.

"What's going on Claire?" I asked her looking annoyed then something strange happened next the door opened behind Claire standing in a defence stare with us then she looked some old man and she smiled she actually smiled. But why would she be smiling?

"Hello Claire I believe you have something that belongs to me?" Claire looked at the old man then at Michael the look she gave Michael was more apologetic but I couldn't understand.

"I'm so sorry Michael I didn't know about him until you told me earlier please believe me I really am sorry." She said.
