Chapter 3
The mind game
Everyone has a mind game but what happens when your played at your own game.
Claire's Pov
As we entered the lab though the portal ran Myrnin around trying to move things to make it clear but all he was doing was making it worst. Once we were all inside, he stopped rushing round. 'So what's the plan' Shane asked me. 'Well Myrnin has his machine all we need loads of sliver nitrate' I replied 'well I bet blood munches over there has some, not' he shot back with a tonnage like a blade. 'Actually he does, well I do' I replied while walking over to a cupboard. As I opened the door, Shane, Eve's and Michael face dropped. 'What, a girl has to protect herself nowadays' I said to them cheekily. I grabbed a green rucksack of one of the shelves and threw it at Shane. As he un-zipped it the contact spilled out, 'stakes, liquid, knife, cross bows plus one fencing epée' said and I threw another to eve. But before I had any chance to get myself one out a voice was heard. 'One thou have so much weapons despite needed' as the gang turned around Amelia stood there, this time not in her white elegance but in jeans and a blouse. 'One thou come and join us' Myrnin said from out of the corner he had disappeared into. 'Yes maybe I have decided it is time for once not to flee but to fight with honour of our race' she said. 'Fount it' Myrnin shouted and then emerged from the corner. 'Were ready then' I said, but before we could even take a step, a blurry image appeared on a broken TV screen. 'Shane be careful' frank said 'piss off frank' he replied and then we all walked off. Once we got out side, we suddenly realised we had no transport, no car, no bike, no portal.
Eve Pov
As we slammed the door shut, darkness took over as the tinted out windows blocked the light coming in. Shane was going mad 'how the hell do you expect me to travel in this with these, are you mad eve' 'just calm down it won't be that long a drive' she shouted into the back. As the bloodmobile started up eve knew this was going to be a bumpy ride. I took the phone out my pocket and set up it up and dialled the number Myrnin had given her. As it started to ring Shane started to shout again 'and I don't know why your ringing that piss head for, like he's going to help' but before I could react Amelia shouted at him 'young child I suggest you shut up or ill have to use this vehicle for what it's for' and then the car fell silent. As the mobile connect a 2D figure appeared from out the screen. 'Frank you ready' Michael said so eve could stay focused 'no I didn't agree to this, I didn't agree to put my son in danger' he replied as the 2D figure lipped moved. 'Don't act like you care now frank, just help us' Michael shouted into the phone. 'Why what you going to do drain my brain' he replied. Eve could tell where she was driving but just kept on going. 'Frank I swear to god if you don't help me drive this thing, your son going to get hurt anyway' eve bellowed into the phone and then everything went silent. 'Okay, fine but it doesn't mean I'm doing it for these vile creatures' he replied and then the vehicle lost control. But steadily re-gained it steadiness, frank was driving the car.
Shane Pov
I sit next to Myrnin in the back in silent I look across at Claire and see in her eyes she is scared. I place her hand in mine and held them tight, this is why I was doing not for the vampires but for Claire, despite she could sometimes be too much on their sides, I still loved her for who she was and I didn't want to lose her. as the car swerved from left to right. the machine kept on flashing as the signal Aeriel kept on spinning. i knew morganville from the back of my hand and i knew precisely were we were. i could hear Eve and Micheal talking away in the front almost as it was a normal day. But it wasn't it didn't matter what happened here tonight we would still be prisoner's.
just as the car swerved left it pulled to a stop. 'are we here' myrnin asked. 'no, where not even close' i replied.
Eve Pov
'frank why have we stopped' i asked in frustration like Shane i knew morganville from the back of my hand as well. but there was no reply. 'frank why have we stopped' i repeated again 'Eve what ever you do, don't get out the car' frank buzzed back 'why frank, why shouldn't we get out the car?' Micheal replied 'because Monica Morell has just popped back up on the radar and shes right outside your door with a gun' the crackly voice of frank came though. but before Claire could hit the locks the door flung open and there Monica stood with a gun pointing to her neck. 'Monica what are you doing' eve said slowly. 'let help or I'm going to shoot myself right here' she replied back. But before Eve or Micheal had a change to say anything she was pushing her way in to the front seat. the minute the door shut the car speed off picking up pace minute by minute. 'where have you been' Eve asked but Monica went pale as ever. 'Monica you have to tell us' Micheal told her straight 'with magnus, he tired to put me in a pool there were others, i manged to escape and went to the founders square but i was told you where about to go and fight it' she rambled out as fast as she could. but before i could reply frank 2D figure popped up on the screen. 'where here' his lipped moved...
