Disclaimer: I do not own The Morganville vampires.

Claire jumped the last 4 centimetres down then looked up at the window which was still open.

You can try to keep me locked up with a fairy tale but never forget science has power over my mind so I can easily find ways out; a story about vampires won't stop me from leaving either.

She walked carefully being cautious about making loud sudden movements in case the glass house heard.

God I'm going to get myself kicked out, she thought. Or killed...

Chapter 5

A Little Outing.

The Cool Texas wind blew Claire's Hair into her face and she struggled to keep it away.

She looked around and couldn't help but get an eerily feeling as the darkness of midnight surrounded her.

Shit, shit, shit!

Claire to be quite honest did not know where she was going, all she knew was at that particular moment she was going down a dark alley way...

"Am I fucking stupid?" Claire whispered to herself.

Who the fuck goes down dark alley ways alone? That's like rule number 1 in scary movies; never go down dark Alley ways alone, serial killer could be lurking in shadows.

Or vampires...

Do not think like that Claire, she thought to herself, venturing further into the completely deserted, narrow alley way, that seemed to keep getting narrower and narrower...

Fear.

Claire ran as her instincts kicked in, she was defiantly not alone.

She ran faster and faster out the alley and past many houses which lights were off and looked dead like no one occupied the inside.

She ran, till all of a sudden she arrived back a TPU.

Claire looked behind slowing down and saw...

"Nothing." She breathed out.

Was her mind playing tricks or was there actually someone or something following her?

"Ha, Ha. There she is!" Claire ducked behind a tree surrounded by bushes as she heard familiar voices straight ahead.

The clicking of familiar heals, "Oh lookey here, what a pleasant surprise, its little Rachey Woo." Claire heard the smirk in her new enemy's voice.

Monica appeared with her sheep following, looking in the direction of Claire but not at Claire, at Rachel instead who was now directly 10 metres in front of Claire.

"I-I just came to settle this once and for all and fight." Rachel stuttered.

The girls laughed and circled Rachel like a pack of wolves.

"You want to fight us? Three against one?" Gina snickered, "Sorry to crush your dreams but no-ones helping you not this time."

Monica, Gina and Jennifer started kicking and punching while Rachel tried to get up and fight back but couldn't.

Claire wanted to jump in and help her but something warned her not to...

Monica brought her arms out to stop Gina and Jennifer from hitting anymore, "Girls stop, my Boyfriend will come finish her off soon." She smirked then suddenly a shadow figure came from the right side of Monica. "Oh look here he is."

The shadowed figure, a young man maybe in his twenties came into the street light, highlighting his appearance of brown hair, pale skin and a smirk so sinister getting wider each time revealing...

Claire gasped; there in his mouth were two very pointy fangs.

"Brandon." Monica purred licking her lips, He smirked back at her walking over to where she was and pulled her to him.

Claire was about to scream thinking the worst had happened, Monica was being sucked from, but then noticed they were only kissing, well tonguing each others mouths out.

Claire wanted to gag but kept her cool.

The two parted then looked at Rachel lying on the floor with blood pouring everywhere, "So this is the girl?" Brandon walked over the Rachel who tried to cower away as he lifted her arm, looking at her wrist. "No protection, I think maybe this can defiantly be arranged."

Before Claire had enough time to blink, Brandon had Rachel against him and had his mouth against her neck.

Blood curling screaming.

Claire watched horrified at the scene in her eye sight, too shocked to scream, too scared to even help.

What felt like days later, Claire heard to group departing, not even noticing that she had her eyes covered and was in a curled in a ball, and lose tears dropping.

She checked that everything was clear and ran over to Rachel who was lying on the floor looking at the sky.

"Rachel?" Claire whispered urgently.

Rachel's eyes rolled to Claire and she had a small smile, "Claire." She breathed out.

Claire lifted Rachel into her arms and just sat there.

"I tried Claire, I really did."

Claire wiped a tear from Rachel's eyes. "Shh, I know." She hushed.

"Please Claire; don't let them get away with just killing girls because they stood for something."

"I won't Rachel."

Rachel looked Claire dead in the eye. "Promise me, please."

"I promise."

Claire sat there for a while holding Rachel close to her so she didn't have to be alone.

"Rachel?"

No answer.

"Rachel?" Claire shouted in a hushed tone crying, urgently trying to wake her up.

"I'm sorry." Claire stood up, motionless and placed Rachel's body on the pavement, Then just left.

Claire arrived back at the glass house unharmed physically but emotionally was a different story.

She climbed the tree to her window ledge, and then just sat still on her bed watching nothing...
