Time Heals All

Chapter 12: Visitor

-A week later-

Time had passed rapidly since Claire's arrival in Morganville. In the past weeks time, she had spoken to Amelie about her transformation and had had tests done on her. She had also visited her parents, and returned back to TPU (She had become fairly immune to the sun during her transformation, and so was still able to attend her daytime classes). Things seemed to have gotten back to normal, apart from Shane's tendency to avoid Claire.

And Claire really wanted him to stop avoiding her and maybe apologize, not that she'd forgive him that easily.

No, it was a true fact that Claire was still irrevocably in love with Shane, but she was also seriously hurt by what he had done to her. She couldn't understand why he'd hate her that much to cheat on her with Monica, after all, Monica killed his sister, not Claire. But it appeared as though Shane didn't care, which killed Claire inside.

.:.

Claire was in her room, trying to find her Calculus IV textbook when she came across a shiny object she had lost a week ago-

The cross Shane had given her.

Claire unconsciously went to pick it up, but as soon as her fingers touched the silver necklace, a hand caught on fire.

Metaphorically of course.

She pulled her hand away from the necklace hastily, and cradled her burning hand against her chest with wide eyes. Apart from the pain, touching the necklace made Claire feel and remember things; things she so wanted to forget but remember at the same time.

Without thinking Claire went and grabbed the necklace again and clutched it in both her hands. The pain was horrific, but bearable and Claire slowly closed her eyes, so that she could let the memories fill her completely.

She remembered everything; the time Shane gave the necklace to her and the feelings she felt, the way Shane's arms felt around her and the way whenever he held her she felt complete, the time Francois bit her and Shane nearly killed himself trying to save her, the lonely feeling she felt when Bishop held him hostage and the feelings that went through her when she kissed him through the bars he was imprisoned in for the first time in months, the way she felt when they first made love and the way he said he loved her and how it made her feel, the time-

Claire's reminiscence was cut short by a loud voice calling out her name.

"Claire!" Michael yelled as he opened up her door and tore the necklace out of her hands, "What are you doing? It's silver Claire; it's burning you! Look at your hands!"

Claire opened her eyes and discovered she was crying. She looked down at her hands and realised that Michael was right; her hands were completely ripe red from being burnt.

That just made Claire cry even harder.

"Claire, what's wrong? Come on, you can tell me" Michael said, his voice full of concern.

Claire then threw herself into Michael's surprised form. He wrapped his arms around her and held her while she cried into his chest.

She missed Shane so much. She wished everything she remembered were real and not just a memory; that she could just be in Shane's arms instead of Michaels. She just loved Shane so much.

"The necklace, it made me remember. It made everything feel real and it made me feel like he still loved me. But then I was knocked back into reality and..and it just isn't fair Michael! I still love him so much, and i..i don't know w..what to do to m..make him love me a..again" Claire stuttered out in between sobs.

Michael tightened his grip around her and kissed her lightly on top of her head.

"He's not worth it, and I know it hurts, but seriously Claire, he's a douche. He may be my best friend, but what he did was inexcusable, and he-" Michael stopped, thinking, "He doesn't deserve you Claire. Not anymore, and honestly? In my opinion he never did. It was like he was a peasant dating a princess. Sure I'm glad he found you, but he never did deserve you and he knew it. You were just too innocent, pure and perfect compared to him. But he loved you and you loved him and somehow two opposites were attracted to each other. And then for some stupid reason, he fucked it up" Michael finished with a sigh, "Sorry if I just made you feel even worse".

Claire stopped crying and pulled back from Michael's arms.

"No, you just made me feel a hell of a lot better" Claire replied with a smile and then kissed Michael on the cheek.

Michael had definitely made her feel better, and Claire had decided that from now on she was to leave the past behind and just focus on the present. She owed that to herself.

Suddenly the newly installed Glass House doorbell sounded.

"I'll get it" Claire said with a smile.

She went out of her room, leaving Michael behind, and ran down the stairs, reaching the front door just as Eve exited the kitchen to get it. Claire then put her hand on the handle and opened the door to see a freakishly familiar face.

"Hey Vampy"

Cliffy :D
