Love Will Be The Death Of Us, But We'll Die Happily.

Chapter 5

Michael's POV

3 MONTHS LATER

I couldnt wait to get back into Morganville! Wow, I never thought I would say that. But I really cant. Being in Dallas for months, fighting everyday is actually extremely tiring and sometimes boring.

I couldn't wait to get Eve back into my arms again. I've missed her so, so much these last couple of days its been unreal! We've been gone for about 6 months. We were supposed to be back earlier but things got ugly in Dallas so we had to stay. But now we were coming home and man, I couldnt wait.

The girls must have been going crazy without us. Or knowing Eve, she would take it as an opportunity to have endless girly fun with Claire. Like going to a spa or going to get their hair and nails done. Thats what girls do, right?

The plane had been delayed for 2 hours and finally me and Shane were buckled in on the flight back home. Shane had missed Claire like crazy! I missed her too, but Claire is all Shane talked about for the whole six months. All I got was 'Im going to ask Claire to marry me when we get back.' Dont get me wrong, that's amazing and I couldnt be happier for them both but it was down my ear the whole time. I just couldnt wait to see Claire's face when he gets down on one knee.

Shane isn't the type of romantic guy, not from what I've seen anyway. But he says he will make it a night to remember for Claire. She deserves it. They both do. And in the meantime, me and Eve deserve some fun to. Which is why I've asked Shane to ask the big question somewhere other than the Glass House. Unless they want to hear the porn soundtrack whilst he tries to be all lovey dovey.

The plane journey was only a couple of hours, but it seemed so much longer. Just thinking about getting back to Morganville made time slow down. I just needed to get home and cuddle on the sofa with my beautiful wife.

The plane landed in Morganville at about 9:00pm. Me and Shane got straight of and headed for the luggage claim. It took about half an hour to get both of our bags, which pissed me of. But we were still heading home to the Glass House in no time.

'God, Im shaking.' Shane mumbles as he looks out of the window into darkness. We were in a cab, so we were both in the back. 'I've waited so long to be back here. Is it weird to say that I've missed this dump?'

'Totally not weird, bro. I've missed it too.'
'Good.' Shane smirks as he punched me softly in my shoulder. 'Because we aint leaving till I've seen my girls for more than a month.'

We soon parked up outside of the Glass House. Shane paid the driver and I walked straight up to the front door. Funny, there weren't any light coming from the house like there normally was. Maybe the girls were in bed? It was nearly 10, they might have got an early night. Did anybody tell them that we were coming home today?

Me and Shane made our way inside after I unlocked the door. We put our bags down in the hallway and headed for the living room. There was no sign of anyone. All of the electricity was of and everything seemed... odd. Like the house was depressed or something...

'Where are they?' Shane asked as he came up behind me.
'They're not in here.' I frown. Shane budged past me and heads for the stairs. He runs up them three at a time. When he gets up there, I hear him open and close every single room.

He soon came running down the stairs with a worried look on his face. 'They're not up there either!'

Where the hell were they? I didnt really mind where they were it was just the time of night that bothered me. This was Morganville and if they were wondering the streets at ten at night then they're just begging to be dinner.

'We should call Amelie, she might know where they are.' I tell Shane. He nods but before he could say anything, a cool and calm voice appeared from behind us.

'No need.' I spun around to find Amelie in the doorway to the living room. She stood gracefully in her white gown. Her white hair was up in a perfect bun at the tip of her head.

'I'm already here.' She says as she walks towards us.
'Nice to see you and all but... why are you here?' Shane asks.
'I cannot come and thank my soldiers personally when they come back from duty?'
'Course you can.' I say, before Shane could make any sarcastic comment.
'But it is not thanks that I am here for, boys.' Amelie says as she looks down at the floor for a moment, then looks back at us.

'I am here to tell you some... tragic news.'

This was started to scare the crap out of me now.
'What are you talking about?' Shane asks as he looks from me to Amelie. I could tell he was getting freaked out too.

'I think you boys need to sit down...'
