Shane was just drifting off when they heard a loud crash; his eye flew open and was at the door swinging it open before Claire had even got out of bed. He raced down stairs and into the living room, to find Michael lying on the floor with a wooden stake in his heart, his eyes were closed.

Chapter 3

Shit!" Shane dropped to his knees next to Michael and shook his shoulder, as Claire entered. She stood there stunned, staring at Michael's lifeless body, tears threatening to fall.

"Oh God what happened?" she chocked.

Shane pointed to the door "Go and find Eve".

He heard Claire open the door and start calling out Eve's name. He turned back to Michael and shook his shoulder again "Mikey, Dude?"

Michael's eyes flashed opened they were bright red and huge, after he blinked several times, his eyes altered to a dull red he didn't move but his eyes twitched towards Shane.

"Get it out!" he rasped.

"Oh, right" Shane's hand hovered over the stake. "I… don't know how"

"Just do it!"

Shane yanked the stake from his chest. Michael's backed arched as he gagged and gasped. There was a hole in his body and his blood seeped out of it. He breathed heavily for several seconds and scrunched his eyes closed. Then was gone in a flash, the momentum knocked Shane back onto his ass. He faintly heard the fridge door opening, then Michael returning wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He glanced around.

"We have to go" Michael reached down to help Shane up.

"What's going on? Who staked you?" Shane took his hand and followed him to the door. That's when Shane noticed that it was split in half; Michael just stepped past it and down the steps. But Shane was frozen staring at the door, in horror.

"Dude come on" Michael called back to him.

Shane looked up and ran into the night.

"Claire? Claire?" He screamed into the night, Michael looked to Shane, his eyes wide. Shane cupped his hands around his mouth and called for Claire again, there was no reply.

Michael looked to Shane.

"Where's Claire?"

"I … I… sent her after Eve" Shane's voiced trembled. He took a deep breath and swallowed.

"Why the hell would you do that? Gosh Shane. Didn't you even think-"

"Shut up Michael," Shane cut him off anger, bubbling in his chest "How did I know someone was going to take her and break the door. I heard nothing. She made no noise. Which means she must of went willingly or forced. I just didn't think".

"Well clearly you didn't cause otherwise Claire would be here." Michael took a breath "Look standing here arguing isn't gonna get us anywhere, so lets go and find Eve then Claire, okay?"

"No. We'll find Claire then Eve, Claries more of a risk. Many people don't really want too see her alive, and Eve brings the problems on herself" he spat bitterly.

"Don't Shane." Michael warned

"Why not? We all know that she's responsible for this. If she would have just stayed asleep or not shoved a stake in your heart then we wouldn't be here, and Claire wouldn't be missing."

Michael's eyes flared red and suddenly Shane was smashed against the bricks of the Glass house. The force made the bricks crumble slightly and knocked the wind out of Shane. Michael's fist connected with Shane's stomach then jaw, causing Shane to drop to his knees and suck in the air in huge gasps.

"Don't act like Claire is at all innocent ever since she moved here, there's been nothing but problems."

Shane stood while Michael was talking "Finished?" Shane asked his hand clenched at his side

Michael nodded.

So Shane took a swing. He connected with Michael's face causing Michael to stumble back. Then headlights swiped around the corner and Shane was shoved against a wall once more.

One of Michael's hands was over Shane's mouth, the other stayed against his chest to stop Shane from moving. Shane struggled but Michael gave him a look that told him he wasn't fighting anymore. That's when Shane heard tires pull up, a car door opening then slamming shut, leaving a figure crumpled on the road. Another door opened and the two boys could see someone leaning out, looking directly at the house. The person didn't see Shane or Michael.

"Yo! Creep and vamp! Know you're there. Here's one part of your girlfriends". The tires pulled away and the car went roaring down the street.

Michael was gone running after the car. Shane started to follow Michael, but the figure caught his eye. He ran over to the body and gently rolled it over.

He studied Claire's pale face; her eyes closed and saw a bruise forming just underneath.

Shane sucked in a breath, lifted her up gently and took her inside the house to lay her on the sofa. He gently shook her shoulder.

"Claire? Baby, please." Shane's voice broke and he gripped onto her hand, whilst knelling down in front of her. "Come on baby" he stroked Claire's hair off of her face and gently pressed his lips to hers. He grabbed his phone and rung Hannah. She answered on the fourth ring.

"Shane? What's up?

"Please come, Eves missing and Claire's not waking up"

"On my way" she instantly replied.

The only reliable cop, Shane thought.

Ten minutes later, Hannah turned up with a doctor and Mayor Dick.

Shane moved out of the way so the doctor could do his stuff. Shane nodded his head to the Mayor but spoke to the Chief "What's Dicky doing here?"

Richard gave Shane a look but didn't answer instead pulled out his phone and dallied a number before walking away to speak to the person. Hannah shook her head "You shouldn't give him a hard time, he so very different from his family."

"Wouldn't you know" Shane muttered

"Yes Shane, I would know. Just because Monica is a twisted psycho and decided to get revenge on you," Shane winced and crossed his arms "Doesn't enable you to treat him like a little bitch. Plus Richard didn't do anything to hurt your sister Shane, that was his own sister. You can't take it out on him personally"

"Actually he can," Richard said coming around the corner "Because he touches Monica, he's dead. So He's smart to pick on me." He turned to address Hannah "Just got off the phone with Oliver. They found Eve, in an old warehouse. Michael managed to keep up with the car but when he opened it, he found no one there. Eve's at the hospital to treat her injures. She has a broken rib and foot. Michael's there with her. Now, we better go" Dick said looking at Hannah, she nodded then glanced at Claire

"She alright?" Hannah says talking to the doctor who was packing his stuff away.

Shane turned to the doctor "Yes, she's fine. Might get a few bruises and headaches, but any dizziness or faints, bring her to the hospital. She should wake up in about half an hour".

Shane muttered thanks to the doctor and nodded to Hannah who smiled faintly in return. "Call me when she wakes up" and with that they were gone.

Shane sat on the coffee table for about five minutes before he got up and started to pace back and forth, glancing at Claire every so often. This was driving him crazy. He couldn't stand not beginning able to help at all, plus looking over to Claire's body kept making him imagine her dead. Shane shook his head refusing to let the image creep back in.

Then he remembered the door. The door was broken in two, he could fix it but he remembered seeing a door in the mini-storage cupboard in the kitchen. Shane found a tool box and the door and began putting the new one on, locks and all. After about half an hour he had finished and Claire still wasn't awake. He sighed and ran his hand over her pale cheek. He reached for the blanket over the back of the sofa and pulled the blanket over Claire's small body. He sat down on the single sofa seat and closed his eyes. Sleep came much better then expected.
