I did put something extra in here because I thought it's be funny. Can ya spot it vampire fiends? Do enjoy the chapter.
"What the hell is he doing here!" Shane exclaimed pointing at Jake
"He helped find her. He could be arrested for what he was even carrying." Eve said
"And I will take a lot of consideration in doing so for carrying that thing." Oliver growled gesturing to the shotgun
"If it's our lives over your dead ones, then guess who I'm going to pick?" Jake said sarcastically
Oliver growled and his fangs sprang into action.
"Enough." Amelie's quiet yet commanding voice cut in
She walked over to Claire and looked down at her.
"Claire, wake up." She said
Claire twitched a little.
"She's not even conscious." Shane said
"Claire," she said again "wake up, now."
Claire's eyes shot open. They shouldn't have been able to, but they did. She laid there struggling.
"Who did this?"
Claire didn't seem to comprehend it. She just shook her head.
"Stay with me Claire. Who did this?"
"Vampire." She said "Vam-"
Her words faded and her eyes rolled to the back of her head.
"That's not hard to tell." Oliver muttered
Shane shot him a death threatening glare. Oliver only smiled at him.
"You need to let her rest. If you push her anymore, she'll die." Michael said as he picked her up in his arms
He was out of the room and up the stairs fast before anyone could say anything. Amelie stood for a second then turned as the door bursted open. Myrnin walked in and looked around. His gaze stopped at the large spot on the couch that had blood seeped into it. His eyes went red.
"Leave." Oliver said "Now."
He wasn't talking to Myrnin, but to the other three that were the food. Shane was the first to dash for the stairs then it was Eve and Jake. Myrnin growled and had gotten a hold on Eve who let out a blood curdling scream. Oliver jumped between them and threw him back. He didn't hit the floor though. he just disappeared.
"He is not well." Amelie said
"You sent him through?" Oliver asked
Eve noticed that he sounded concerned.
"Yes, Claire will see him when she is better. They must finish or so Myrnin says."
Oliver shook his head.
"She will die." He said in a low quiet voice
Amelie didn't say anything to his comment. She just turned and fell through whatever Myrnin did. Eve reached out and there was nothing.
"What the hell?" she murmured
"Well, this was…entertaining." Oliver said "I expect to see you in a few hours."
"But Claire-"
"No excuses." Oliver snapped and walked out leaving the door wide open
"Asshole." Eve growled
"He probably heard that." Jake said
"Good." She said
Jake closed the door behind him and kept his shotgun close as he made his way back to the campus.
Michael on the other hand was upstairs with Claire who hadn't let go.
"I missed you." She murmured "I missed you even when I didn't know you. I felt so lonely. I'm sorry Shane."
Michael moved slowly from her grasp and kissed her forehead.
"Just sleep." He told
"Mhm…" she squeaked "I love you."
Michael walked out with that knowledge and saw Shane sitting by her door. Shane looked up at him tiredly.
"She alright?" he asked
"She'll be out for a while. If you want to see her she'd in there talking in her sleep." He answered
Shane nodded and stood. He hesitated at first remembering the last time he was in there. It was to say goodbye and this time he didn't want to have to say it under different circumstances. Walking in, he saw her laying there. There was a fresh towel pressed to her neck.
"You're not just going to stand there." She murmured
It wasn't a question. He smirked and sat in the chair beside her bed. Taking her hand in his he shivered. She was cold. He rubbed her hand in between his then pulled another blanket over top of her. He stayed there with her and eventually fell asleep.
Eve checked in on both of them before she left for her shift at seven am. Claire was pale and looked like she was barely breathing.
"Wake up soon." She whispered
She closed the door and walked down the stairs as she saw Michael coming up.
"How are they?"
"Sleeping like the dead." She said quietly
"She'll be fine." He said
"What about us?" she asked "Now that she's here, whatever was after her will come here. Might I add it was a vampire so it can get in."
"We will do what we always do and that is fight. We always find a way."
"There hasn't been a we in a very long time." Eve said
She didn't say anything else. She walked out and if Michael could've done the whole 'run after and fix everything' he would've, but the whole daytime thing got in the way. Huffing he walked to his room which was now darkened and laid back on his bed.
Across the hall, Claire shifted a little and that was enough to wake Shane from his dead sleep. He noticed the towel had fallen from her neck to the floor. Her neck was swollen with the bite marks. They looked more like rips into her neck rather than bite marks. She turned over and sighed as if in some content dream. Moving silently, Shane laid down beside her. He barely touched her, but just laid there. She turned over quickly and buried herself into his chest while clutching a handful of his shirt. He didn't hesitate to hold her. It's all he wanted.
Eve wiped down the counter as someone tapped their fingers on it trying to get her attention or so she thought.
"Can I help you?" she asked irritatedly
He had dark hair and black attire from his leather jacket to his black boots. He didn't even look at her. He just looked around the shop and huffed.
"Hey." She said sharply
He looked at her now with raised eyebrows.
"Did you want something?" she asked
"I was looking for someone." He said
"Who?" she asked not really caring
"My little brother…Stefan." He mumbled in a low voice "Apparently he's skipped out of here. It just might be one of the smartest things he's done while trying to wipe me off his trail. This place is dead."
"You have no idea." Eve grumbled as he left the shop
Monica and her band of idiots came up to the counters right then.
"Who was that and why would he want to talk to a thing like you?" she sneered
"No idea, don't know, and don't care." Eve said flatly
Eve turned away and started heading for the back room.
"Hey bitch! We were getting ready to order here." Gina yelled
Eve turned and looked at them with a hatred look. Walking back, she paused. She'd thought about it before she did it and over all just didn't care. Eve reached across and grabbed Gina by the hair and slammed her head down on the counter not once, but twice.
"Call me bitch again and I'll give you an even bigger headache." Eve growled
Gina whimpered as Monica a Jennifer just stood there wide eyed. Eve let go and shoved her back.
"Get out." Came and even angrier growl from behind Eve
Eve hung her head and started to take off her apron. I knew this wouldn't last, she thought to herself.
"Not you." He said stopping Eve by grabbing her arm
He was looking at Monica and he groupies.
"You three, out. You're always causing some sort of trouble in my shop. I want you out!"
"She started it!" Monica squealed "Plus it wasn't us." She gesture to Jennifer and herself
"Fine." He aside more calmly and looked directly at Gina.
"Out."
"But you're my protector. You can't do this." she stuttered
Oliver walked from behind the counter and every pair of eyes followed holding their breath. he grabbed a hold of her wrist and snapped off her bracelet.
"Not anymore." He said "Get. Out."
Right then and there she just started crying. It was like some soap opera and Oliver wasn't putting up with it. He rolled his eyes and walked back behind the counter and to the back room without a word. The silence continued after Gina ran for a few more seconds then everyone went on talking like it never happened, everyone except for Monica and Jennifer that is. They were giving Eve the glare from hell. Eve just gulped down the large amount of air she had sucked in.
"This ain't over bitch. You are so gonna pay for that, you can count on it. And tell the freak that I look forward to seeing her as well because as far as I'm concerned you're both in the same boat." Monica snapped
"Shit." Eve said under her breath as she watched them leave
"Eve!" Oliver called
She rolled her eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes just get back here." He called
Eve dragged her feet as she walked back. Oliver had his feet propped up on his desk.
"How fired am I?" she asked
"Not at all. I'm just letting you know that you'll have an escort with you now." He said "I know how those girls get."
"Joy. Who is it then?" she asked
"Me." He said with a toothy grin
Eve's face was quickly caught between horror and annoyance.
