Chapter 14

CLAIRE'S POV:

We explained everything to Shane. What we could do, our weakness, our past. Everything. He didn't interept at all. He concerntrated on the person who was talking, and took in everything. When we were finished he stayed sat and had an expression none of us could read.

"This is getting dangerous" Alice said out of the blue.

"What do you mean?" Eve asked.

"Two people have found out about us in the past two days. One of them was turned. Luckily you can be trusted" She said looking at Eve with a slight smile "But him" she continued changing her gaze to Shane, and glaring. "We hardly know anything about him, And he is friends with the enemy. He would tell them. Especially his blonde friend. I still think he should die". Shane stood up with wide eyes and helds his hands out in surrender.

"No, no, no! I won't tell! Not even Michael! And he's been my bestfriend since I could toddle!" He rushed panicking.

"Relax Shane, we won't hurt you. Alice is just over protective. Like's to play the 'mum' role. Bysides if you do tell..." I stopped and rushed over to him vamp speed, grabbed his hand and throwed him to the floor. Then kneeled on his back so he was trapped underneath me. "You will live to regret it" I finished quietly.

"I won't! I won't! Trust me! If I do - Which I won't!- then you can hurt me and I won't try and stop you!" he responded and started wriggling beneath me. I got up and gave him my hand. He accepted and I pulled him up. "I promise I won't!"

"Alright man, I believe you!" Lee spoke from where he was leaning against a tree, chuckling. Alice made a hmpf! sound whilst rolling her eyes.

"I believe you Collins!" Eve finally spoke "Bysides, if you do tell - Which apparently you won't - I look forward to making your life hell... well whatever's left of it" she smirked and sat on a very low branch.

"Thanks" Shane mumbled.

"Now what?" I asked bored.

"LET'S ORDER PIZZA!" Eve yelled leaping off of the branch.

"I don't think they deliver to the woods" Lee joked.

"Then go to our house and then order it!" Me and Shane were shaking our heads.

"I'm not going there! I can't be bothered, dealing with skanks right now!" I responded.

"And I don't want to see my ex" Shane said quietly.

"Could go ours" Lee suggested. And that's what we did.

Shane seemed wary of us. He still laughed and looked like he was having fun, but I could see it in his eyes. He was scared because he knew we could snap him like a toothpick. Only easier. I was kind of glad because he wouldn't piss anyone off, But at the same time a little sad. He would never see us as equals. He would just see people higher then him on the foodchain. Stronger, Faster and more powerful. That's what depressed me.

"Claire!" Eve shouted clicking her fingers infront of my face.

"Huh... what?" I asked. What did I do wrong?

"I've been calling your name for ages! Damn, when you think, you think hard!" She started giggling.

"It's because she doesn't think often! Act first, think later, aint that right Claire?" Lee said laughing with Eve.

"Hahaha" I said sarcasticly rolling my eyes.

"That's why were always in trouble" Alice said coldly. She was still in a mood with us because we let Shane live. It wasn't that she didn't like him... No wait, she doesn't like him... I mean she see's him as an acquaintance. Alice was only being harsh to Shane because he was human and she was scared of him. It sounds weird, a vampire being scared of a human, but it was true. Shane could tell other people, not that all of them would believe him, but some would. If loads of human got together and hunted down vampires, our numbers would easily drop. Humans were like sticks. Alone their weak. Together their strong. Which is why Alice doesn't like humans much, espicially because he is friends with the wrong kind of people. Oh and because he could hurt me. She keeps warning me to stay away from him, but how can I? Espicially now he knows. I'll be seeing him a lot more often to keep an eye on him.

"Al don't be harsh" Lee said when him and Eve stopped laughing. She just rolled her eyes.

"I'm home! Anyone in?" Michael shouted from the hall. Me, Alice, Eve, Lee and Shane were in the boy's house, in the living room. When we arrived no one was home.

"Living room!" Shane replied. Michael came through the door and gave us a confused look.

"Oh... Hi" He said awkwardly.

"Sup Glass" I said. That was my greeting for him. He nodded and put his guitar down to lean against the wall.

"So... Erm... This some kind of party?"

"Pizza party!" Eve said smiling. He smiled back. They liked eachother, everyone could tell. They just didn't know that the other one liked them. Stupid people. My phone went off playing "Ignorance" by Paramore. I dug for it in my pocket and pulled it out just as Hayley started singing.

"Hello?" I said. I forgot to check the Caller ID.

"Claire it's Oliver" Oliver replied. He was the owner of Common Grounds, who was letting me perform.

"Hey Oliver, Sup?"

"I was just wondering are you still performing on Friday?"

"Yup"

"Good because I have found some people to play the music so we won't have to play it from a stereo. A real live show"

"That's awesome! I can't wait!"

"Good, well I have to go"

"Bye!"

"Bye"

I hung up and looked up. "It was Oliver, he got people to play when I perform" I told them.

"Oh I can't wait! I've only heard you sing when we came home the other night. And even then you were a show off!"

"I don't show off!" I said defensibly. That was a lie. A big, fat lie. I do show off because I am awesome. Big headed - Yes. The truth - Double yes.

"Oh please!" Eve said and ate the rest of her now cold slice. I checked the time on my phone. 6 p.m. I put my phone away and got up.

"Guess we better be going"

"Uh-huh" Eve said getting up. We headed for the door Alice trailing behind.

"See you" Shane said.

"Yeah, See you" I replied with a smile, which he returned. We all said our goodbyes and left.

I locked the front door of our home and walked in. I went into the kitchen to get a coke when someone hit me, knocking me against the wall. Looking up I saw Monica with her fist risen again. Eve and Alice came through the door just as she swung. I was not about to let the bitch land TWO punches on me. She was lucky to get one. I caught her fist in my hand and pushed her backwards into her followers. They wobbled but held their balance. Monica straightened herself out again and came at me with her fist once again. God when will this bitch give up. I used my left hand to knock her fist out of the way to the left, and then slapped her with my right. She looked surprised so I used my right foot to put it behind her left (which she had her weight shifted on), and pulled it forward, which made her fall to the floor. She yelped as she made contact with the floor which made me laugh.

She stumbled when getting up but still tried to hit me again. I was getting ready tired of this. She swung with her right and I dodged. She pulled your left fist back this time and was about to swing but I placed my hand on my shoulder and pushed her back, once again, into her followers. This time they all went down like bowling pins.

I laughed at them, and soon Eve joined me. "What the hell was that all about?" Alice asked sounding extremely pissed off. Uh-oh.

"She started it! I just walked in and she punched me! So when she did it again I acted in self defense!" I said trying to get Alice to understand.

"I know that, I mean why the fuck did she bother picking a fight with you? She won't win" I smiled. Alice was finally back.

"Because" Monica spoke getting up "You stole my boyfriend, you bitch!"

"What? No I didn't! We're not going out! And he dumped you! I don't honestly blame him, I mean look at you! Your a heartless bitch and your a fucking idiot! Seriously! A rock has more brains then you!"

"YOU DID STEAL HIM! YOU FLIRTED WITH HIM AND TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME! YOU BITCH!" She screamed and flung herself at me. I was about to send her flying but didn't get the chance. Eve suddenly grabbed her hair and threw her against the floor on her back.

"Don't touch me friends, whore!" Eve told her and then looked at her followers "You either. You come near us and I swear I will kill you all with my bare hands!" Eve soon picked up on the whole threatening thing. Was it wrong for me to be proud? Because I was. Very.

I hope you liked the chapter!

R&R! The reason why I have updated two chapters in the same day is because I won't be updating for a while! Sorry! I won't be gone for long though, because I like to update! It will be for about a week, two tops. You can live without me for that long, right?
