Next chapter up! Tell me what you think!
Chapter 7
I walked into my room and shut the door behind Caleb. He sat on my bed and looked up at me. "Was that a vampire?"
"Yeah. I found out the town is ran by them."
"And you just forgot to tell me this. Chase is back Clair. He's going to be after you. I can only stay a week with you and then I'm not going to be here to protect you. And that little stunt just now. You used in front of people. You could have exposed us."
"What was I supposed to do Caleb. Let that vampire kill Shane. I don't think so. Besides I don't think they know anything." We were quite for a moment. "Caleb do you remember the other day when I asked you about the vampires that helped the covenant?"
"Yeah."
"You mentioned Amelia. I think she's here. Like she's the main boss." Caleb looked up at me. "What if their looking for the book. Amelia knows we've got it."
"Amelia is the only one who we will give it too. That was the deal. No one else can have it Clair. I mean it."
"I know Cay. Let's just go back down stairs and get everyone settled in for tonight." He agreed and we went back down stairs. Michael had agreed to let everyone stay here. I met Shane at the bottom of the steps. He gave me a hug and placed his hand on my Cheek.
"Are you okay?" I smiled at him.
"I'm fine." Shane leaned in and gave me a soft peck on the lips. Caleb cleared his throat behind us and I giggled. "Caleb this is Shane. Shane this is my brother Caleb."
"Hey man." Caleb stuck out his hand. "You hurt my baby sister and I'll kill you." I smacked him.
"Don't take his threats seriously. His bark is worse than his bite."
"Nah it's cool. I know what it's like to have a baby sister. You'd do anything for them." Shane said smiling at me. Eve had told me about Shane's little sister. Shane had pissed Monica off by standing her up. For revenge she set his house on fire killing his little sister. After that his family moved from Morganville. Only Shane came back for Michael.
"Shane."
"It's fine. I'm going to go jump in the shower. I'll be back down in a little bit." He gave me a quick kiss and headed up the stairs.
"Did I miss something?" Caleb asked.
"Don't say anything, but his little sister died in a fire. Come on let's go get the rest of the gang." I pulled Caleb into the living room. We had decided on sleeping arrangements. Sarah and Caleb were going to sleep in my bed with me. Tight fit, but whatever. Pogue and Kate were going to sleep on an air mattress in my room along with Reid and Tyler on two twin size air mattress. It's a good thing my room was big.
That weekend had been spent getting to know one another. Caleb said that if I was going to be living with strangers he was going to get to know them. On Sunday I snatched Ty and drug him to the library. I filled him in on what I had told Caleb. We looked up as much stuff about our families as possible. What we really needed was the book of Damnation.
"Ty, were not finding anything. I have an idea."
"What?" I drew up the power letting my eyes go black. Two seconds later we were in the basement of the old Danvers colony house. I summoned up the book of damnation. It floated to the center or the room onto the stone table. "Clair, Caleb's going to be pissed."
"I don't care Ty. I need answers, and this is the only way to get them." Ty was right. My phone started ringing with Caleb's ring tone. I just hit the end button. I didn't feel like hearing his lecture right now. I flipped through the book till I found the page I was looking for. "Found it." Tyler came over to look over my shoulder. "This guy here. He works at Common Grounds. His name is Oliver. I assume this is Amelia. I haven't seen her around, but last night Oliver mentioned her. I don't know who this one is though. These vampires know about the covenant and our powers. We've got to get back and tell Cay."
I heard someone walking up stairs. "Clair is Gorman still staying here?" Ty asked in a whisper.
"No Ty. After Dad died he moved back in to help with mom." Whispering back.
"Well, well, well. Who do we have here. Little Clair Danvers and her boy toy Tyler Sims."
"Chase. What the hell do you want?" He flicked his hand and slung Tyler up against some book shelves. I went to go to him, but Chase slung me backwards. I crashed into a shelf of glass. "Ty, get to the car." I watched his eyes turn black just as mine did and we both appeared in my Camaro.
"Clair your bleeding. We need to get you home and get you cleaned up." I pulled out and headed to the Glass house. We pulled up to the curb and got out. Ty had to help me to the house. Once we got through the door I was met by Caleb and Shane.
"What the hell did you do Clair?" Shane asked rushing to me.
"It's fine Shane. Caleb get Sarah to come help." I walked on up stairs to the bathroom. A moment later Sarah walked in.
"Clair what happened?" I pulled off my shirt so she could clean my back.
"Ty and I went to the colony house to look at the book of Damnation. Chase was there. Cay was right. He's back." I watched the fear cross over her face. She was about to say something when there was a knock at the door. Sarah opened the door to all four son's and Shane. "Don't mind me guys I'm just standing here in my bra."
"Oh Clair it's not like we haven't seen you in it before." Reid said with his famous smirk.
"Watch it Garwin. That's my sister your talking about." Caleb said glaring at Reid.
"Now's not the time to be fighting. We've got bigger problems. One I have glass in my back that Sarah is going to have to dig out."
"What?" I swear Sarah turned whiter than what she already was.
"Two our family history book is in my car. Ty you need to go get it. Three I found the information I needed. And Four you were right Cay."
"Son of a bitch. Clair was it Chase who done this?" Pogue asked.
"Yeah." I said looking at him through the mirror.
"Who's Chase?" Shane asked.
"You remember that guy I told you put me in the hospital. Well he's back and he knows where I'm at. Caleb I'm going to have to tell him, Michael and Eve. I living here so this involves them."
"You get cleaned up first. Everyone back down stairs. I'll help Sarah with Clair." Caleb used to get all the glass out of my back. He also made the cuts nothing but scratches.
"Thanks Cay. You didn't have to do all that though.". I threw a new shirt on. It was now time to go explain my life to Shane and hope he accepts it. It was time for Michael to wake up and Eve would be home soon so I will only have to tell my story once.
