Claire
I walked into the kitchen and the smell of pizza engulfed me. "Eve this is cheating you can't cook already made food." I said looking in and seeing they were tiny little things. Personal pizzas. And lots of them. I grabbed one and began to eat it.
"Your food standards in me are very low." She twirled on me and took it out of my hand.
"Hey." I said my mouth full of melty cheese.
"No eating yet." She stuffed the rest in her mouth then waved her hand in front of her mouth. "Oh haawwtt." I laughed then walked out into the family room. I sat down on the couch and picked up the science book I had left on the table. I began to read through it when Shane came in. He came over and plopped next to me. He kissed me, but I was distracted. He tried to turn my head, but I was being stubborn and I wouldn't move.
"Eve cooked." Was all I said and he moved away.
"Eve what have I told you about trying to kill us. We are still human." He said standing up finally and walked into the kitchen. I heard noise above me and dismissed it for Michael.
"Eve is Michael home?" I asked. I had a sudden wave of anxiety wash over me. It wasn't from the house. The house by definition went back to being a normal house after Myrnin brought me back to life, but I had always had a bit more of a feeling over it than Michael.
"No why?" I put the book down slowly.
"No reason." I stood up and climbed the steps. I stopped and turned back grabbing a pizza despite Eve's protests. I climbed back up and took a bite of pizza. If I was going to die I was going to die in pizza heaven. I quickly went to my room to grab a stake and stuffed it in my back pocket. I finally reached the secret room and pushed the panel button. The door opened silently as usual and before I could walk in a black shadow flashed out grabbing me, shutting the door, and running to the couch. Someone screamed.
"Now there's no need for that." Soothed a familiar voice, but I was too rattled to put it. Eve and Shane both had weapons in their hands when they came out of the kitchen. I hadn't realized we were in the family room and I staggered to a standing position still frazzled by the vampire speed. I looked at my hand and saw my pizza had been mashed to the body in front of me in the process.
"You ruined my pizza." I said looking at my demolished pizza with a frown then at the face in front of me. Myrnin. Of course who else runs out of a secret room in the middle of the night and ruining my pizza heaven? He looked down at is white frill shirt.
"You ruined my shirt." He frowned. I groaned and set what was left of the pizza on a plate that was left over. I'll get that later. I told myself.
"Fine give me your shirt." I saw Eve return cautiously back to the kitchen to finish up. Shane tensed up. So did Myrnin. Only Myrnin managed to look contrived.
"Why?" They both asked. Which sounded just wrong. Shane shot Myrnin a cold stare.
"Well because if I don't get the stain out now you will gripe me for god knows how long. So I repeat give me your shirt." I said each word slowly. "You can tell me exactly why you were up there to begin with while I wash it." Shane was still tense, but Myrnin after a second's hesitation had the shirt off in seconds. He handed it to me and I was wondering briefly how he did it without taking off his coat. I proceeded to walk to the laundry room. After a quick look back to make sure he was following I went in. I descended the stairs and flicked on the dim light. I set it on the washer and flattened it out. I looked around for the spray. "Is there anything that can't be used on the shirt?" I held up the bottle.
"Pizza." He said plainly. I turned around and continued to spray the shirt.
"Why were you in there?" I asked without looking up. Frankly I didn't know what I was going to look at if I did.
"My experiment went a little sideways." He said looking around with his hands behind his back.
"And you couldn't have portaled to Amelie's office?" I said squinting at the shirt trying to make sure I got it all.
"Well she wouldn't be too happy with me if I blew up her office now would she?" He sounded closer.
"Well no, but the Glass house secret lair I don't she would have liked that imploded either. How did you know it was me?" I said putting the spray away heaving above my reach and finally managed to reach pushing the bottle the rest of the way on the shelf with the tips of my fingers.
"I knew you were the only one who would have come. The other two didn't hear it." He stated looking at the shirt. "What if it doesn't come out? Tomato has very harsh staining properties."
"It'll work. If that can get blood out of clothing it can get a little tomato sauce." I said jokingly.
"Sorry." He finally said.
"What for?" I asked putting a hand on the drier loving the upbeat rumble.
"For scaring you." He looked me in the eye and I knew he was serious.
"It's okay what were you doing exploding the lab this time?" I jumped up on the drier swinging my legs carefully.
"No I shouldn't make it a habit." He didn't answer my question. He put his hand on the drier as well. A look of disgust clouding his face. I laughed.
"It's just the drier. Come on." I jumped off and pat my hand on it. He looked at me as if I had gone mad, but slowly slid onto it. He held onto the sides with a look of pure terror. His well formed, and now bare, torso contracted. I laughed again.
"Oh this is not at all comfortable. What is enjoyable about this?" I laughed again a little louder. I had never seen him so scared. And it was a drier.
"Because in the winter you can heat up your bum and then," I reach around him and move the lint catcher, so the hot air flowed out. "I can heat up my back." His terror only increased. I laughed again and put a hand on his knee to hold myself up. "If you don't like it you can get down now." He flashed off and I slipped a bit before he caught me.
"I do not see how you could even remotely find that fun." He shook himself and I reached to shut off the hot air off.
"When I was little I used to hide in there." I sighed as I leaned back.
"You could have died." Once he made sure I was steady he let go.
"I know, but here I am." I motioned to all of myself.
"I suppose." He gave me a wary look and raised one eye brow. "I suppose you don't look too damaged." He said as joke or more so I took as a joke.
"Coming from the bipolar vampire." I chuckled.
"Takes one to know one." He shrugged.
"How do you know that you aren't supposed to know that?" I said as Shane trudged down the stairs with a scowl on his face.
"Michaels here. Means we can eat." He didn't even regard Myrnin. I nodded my stomach growling. I began to move away then half way to Shane I turned around. Myrnin hadn't turned around to watch me go.
"Hey Myr do ya want to stay for dinner?" I said hopefully. He looked over his shoulder.
"Oh I would be too much of a burden." He said unconvincingly.
"You got that right." Shane interjected. I ignored Shane.
"No come on." I grabbed his hand and tugged. "I'll put you back on the drier." That seemed to motivate him. Shane gave me a scowl. "Oh it's just dinner." He mumbled something I didn't catch, but Myrnin did.
"That is rude to say in front of a lady Collins child." He sneered. I tugged on his hand again not wanting them to start anything and flew up the stairs.
"You need a shirt." I nodded when we appeared again. "Eve set another plate!" I called and headed up the stairs.
"Oh I was just getting comfortable." He pouted, but followed me. I walked into Michael's room and headed for his closet. "That's all much too small." He stated. And did he sound….suggestive?
"Well you need a shirt on at the table. If I can find you one with ah – " I held out a button up shirt that looked too big for Michael and he looked at it.
"This is not my color." I burst out laughing.
"Myrnin you have no fashion sense at all. And you are saying that it's not you color?" I managed.
"I do too have a fashion sense, that you speak of, it's the mad scientist theme." He said holding it out to me to put back.
"At least mad scientists have an organization lab coat, khaki's, and button down shirt. You don't even have your shirt on." I gave it back with a raised eyebrow.
"Only because you had me take it off." He took of his jacket leaving his upper section completely bare. And I'm not gonna lie. It was a very pretty sight.
"Only because you ran into me." I picked up his jacket as he put on the shirt. I was slightly saddened.
"If you would have gone in there I would not have known what would have happened." He buttoned it up and it hugged his frame. Perfect. Did I just say that? The dark blue was a good contrast.
"And whose fault was that?" I said giving his jacket back.
"Well I guess it was mine." He looked at the ground as he put the jacket back on and I nodded.
"Yes it was. So this is your fault." I said as I walked past him to walk down stairs.
"And yet you managed the whole situation in the laundry room without it." He said smugly.
"Eve's rules. Otherwise they would never wear shirts, or sit at the table for that instance." I hit the landing and walked to join Michael who was sitting with his guitar.
"Ah I was wondering who was joining us." He said curiously. Putting the guitar on the side of the chair.
"Yea after a little mishap with a pizza I had to wash his shirt." Myrnin took a seat diagonally from me.
"Is that mine?" He cocked his head slightly.
"Yea he needed one why is that a problem I've never seen you wear it." I said matter of factly.
"No no, just it's huge on me and it's well….fitting on him." He sounded jealous. Eve came out with the pizzas and I swore I drooled. They smelled so good. Shane followed with another plate full and they both set them down between the three of us. One for each side of the table. Eve and Shane sat down. Eve by Michael, Shane by me. Shane twined his fingers with mine and lifted it to his lips. He was looking at Myrnin, but Myrnin was looking with interest at his plate.
"This probably shouldn't kill anyone. I followed the recipe precisely. And if we do die…Shane, Claire, you will be missed." Eve said waving her hands and we all grabbed a little personal pizza. Myrnin waited until the grabby hands had all filled their plates to their liking and finally took one. He looked at it carefully.
"It won't really kill you. You're already, mostly, dead." I clarified swallowing. He looked at me as if duh. "What you looked scared of it somehow."
"I'm not scared of food." He took a bite.
"Yea just driers." I giggled and they all gave me a look that suggested go on. "No he'll have me pay for it later in work. You did manage to blow up the lab, again. You know I'm going to have to be the one to clean it?"
"Yes I did in fact." He said smirking through his pizza before taking another bite.
"Not tonight though it's too late." Shane spoke up since well since he announced it was dinner time.
"Of course I wouldn't be that foolish as to drag her along. She does get tiresome." He said it that implied that Shane was an idiot for thinking that. The evening proceeded as usual Eve complaining over work and Oliver, Shane thinking he was the all time greatest for wielding knives, which frankly we all did on a regular basis, Michael was Michael. His job was to sit and be pretty. Myrnin interjected every once in a while with a witty comment. Other than that he just sat and ate. Listening to the conversation ensuing around him. He seemed almost content. We were all finished and we sat around looking at each other in the silent argument of whose turn it was for dishes. I counted and mumbled under my breath. My turn. I stood up and the others beside Myrnin said thanks and scurried off like roaches from light. I grabbed the dishes and tried to grab the last few. The pile was starting to get too heavy and I couldn't grab the remaining dishes deciding it would be better to just take a second trip. Turns out I didn't have to. Myrnin grabbed the rest easily and followed me to the kitchen I set them in sink and took the ones he had grabbed.
"You don't have to help. I got it." I smiled up at him.
"You stained my shirt and proceed to clean it. I helped dirty the dishes I deserve to clean them as well." The side of his mouth moved up slightly and I took it as a smile.
"Fine I wash you put away." I turned on the water and began to clean the dirtied utensils. I handed him the clean ones and he had given me a look. I pointed to the right drawer and he zoomed off as I kept on washing. He came back and I passed him the dishes. I would point him out the right cabinet or drawer and he would put them away. I was almost finished when I saw there were water droplets everywhere. "Uh Myr, are you even drying them?"
"Was I supposed to?"
"Well it was implied. If someone walked in they would fall. And if they aren't dry it could cause mold to form." I grabbed two towels on on my foot the other in my hand. I dragged the one on my foot across the floor and the other I wiped up the counters and began on the dishes that were still wet that he had stowed away.
"Sorry." He said for the second time that night. He scuffed a foot across the floor and for the first time I realized he was barefoot. He looked like a small child caught with his hand in the cookie jar with his head hung and hands behind his back.
"It's okay I should have clarified. You need details on how things should perform. I knew that. I just assumed." I was almost done anyways.
"Stop accepting my apologies." He said softly.
"Myrnin I haven't accepted them enough. I realized when you say you're sorry you mean it. Well most of the time, but always to me right?" He nodded. "Then I should be wise and accept everyone that I get. I just hope that isn't too often." I joked and he looked up with a grin.
"Thank you." He began to help out again. This time drying between dashing around.
"How is it you didn't trip before?" I asked finishing up the last dish. He shrugged.
"I guess the water couldn't handle me." He said with a smirk. I handed him the last plate with a look. I drained the water cleaning up around the sink and putting the towel on the counter.
"Come on you can take your ego with you; I think your shirt is done processing." I said walking out of the kitchen. I looked and saw Shane was nowhere to be seen and Eve and Michael were watching TV. Or asleep it was hard to tell from the back of their heads. I walked back to the laundry room and his shirt lay where it was before. Of course why would it move? I took a little bit of water and cleaned off the spot. It was back to being white. Well it was whiter than the surrounding shirt, but that was Myrnin's problem. "There good as new." I held it up and folded it up. "Well at least that one spot is. The rest of it not so much." I looked over at him and he seemed impressed.
"I guess it did work." He turned his gave to me and I saw something I didn't normally see in his eyes. Gratitude. "Thank you Claire." He said softly.
"No prob – " He cut me off.
"No really for everything. I enjoyed the company for a change. And…" It was a blur of moment and his lips were on mine and his hands on either side of me on the washing machine. I thought I resisted, but I would be lying if I didn't say I enjoyed it. It was sweet full of thanks and just sweetness. It was unlike him. Well it was unlike him to kiss me too, but then again I normally didn't allow many vampires besides Michael stay in the house for very long. He finally broke away and finished his sentence. "Thank you for that." I smiled.
"I hate to fuel your ego but…" I reached up and kissed him again. He smiled against my lips and reciprocated. One of his hands slithered around my waist and pulled me closer. I gasped and he smirked. I didn't want it to end, but I knew this couldn't go anywhere. I didn't want to hurt him by leading him on. I pulled away just enough to talk. "I can't. I'm with Shane." I looked up at him despair clouding my eyes. I wanted this I really did, but there was no way that Shane would ever see past this as the first time I had ever done anything.
"I can take care of that." He said suggestively.
"Myrnin you can't kill Shane." I said bluntly.
"Who said I was going to?" He smirked and kissed me again. Without breaking the kiss I jumped up onto the washer. I was very proud of myself on that one. Suddenly he let go and pulled away. He ran to the shadows in the corner of the room and Shane came down the stairs.
"What are you doing down here?" He asked seeing my sitting on the washer. I was glad the light was going out because he couldn't see my flushed face.
"Just thinking." I said. Well that wasn't a lie.
"On the washer?"
"Clears my head." I retorted and jumped down. Shane picked me back up and put me back on the washer.
"Hey I didn't say you should get down. As you said it clears your head." He said kindly, but it sounded possessive somehow. I carefully looked over his shoulder and saw the very faint outline of Myrnin standing close to the wall. "Where did Fang head go?" I felt anger bubble inside me.
"Stop calling him names. I mean it." He took a slight step back.
"Woah okay okay. What got into you?" He tried to blame it on me.
"Just stop it okay yes you two have your quarrels, but at least he doesn't stoop low as to name calling. Okay Shane? So stop it." I got down this time throwing the shirt in the now full of water and soap washer and stormed off. I passed the light switch and turned it off. I felt Myrnin follow me. I took the stairs three at a time and didn't stop until I was in my room. Myrnin, who got there before me not risking anything, stood in front of my bed.
"I appreciate you standing up for me." He was sincere. I softened.
"You better not call him names." He put his hand over his once beating heart.
"I never." Still serious. I walked to sit on my bed and he followed suit. I sighed. "Should I go now? I feel I over stayed my welcome." He stood up, but I grabbed his sleeve. Then realized there was no way he could. Shane would come in to find him and that wouldn't end well, and I couldn't go with him then Shane would think I was cheating on him the whole time. I let him go slowly.
"I don't want you to, but you know you have to." I looked him in the eye. He gave a sad understanding smile then opened a portal.
"12 am sharp little Claire." He stepped through.
"12 am sharp." I echoed and he shut the portal.
Myrnin
I didn't need the device now. I knew for sure she had deeper feelings for me. I hadn't meant to blow up the lab I was just trying to see what else this could do since I didn't need it for that use. I knew something wasn't right when it started to heat unnaturally and burned up the table when I sat it down. That caused to heat up chemicals that shouldn't be heated up and I grabbed Bob and opened a portal. I went to the only place I knew wouldn't send Amelie into a fury. I appeared just in time as the explosions started to go off and I shut the portal locking it. The noises rung in my ears and Bob scurried away to get away from the noises. I faintly heard the door open and knew only one person would be brave enough to come up here. Claire. I was proud and worried and flashed to catch her. I wasn't sure if there was something in the air from all of those chemicals, but I didn't want to risk it. I also wasn't expecting her to have food with her. I was quite excited really to know she wanted me to stay. I hadn't had company in such a hospitable environment in…well I have forgotten. Frankly if it weren't for the explaining that would soon follow I would have continued to kiss her. Except I knew that the Collins boy would immediately think this has happened many times before. Which, sadly, it hadn't. I understood that she meant it. She wanted to proceed, but he was in the way. I could wait. Wait for her to see Shade wasn't the one for her. I appeared back in the lab and stopped cold. It was a wreck. All the books and equipment in the close vicinity of the explosions were dust. All others looked as though if you touched them they would crumble to nothing. I was lucky to get out when I did. No doubt the Day woman would have heard it and called the police. I walked over to what was left of the table and dared not touch it. I pulled out the electronic device that Claire had ensued I buy and dialed Amelie. She picked up soon after.
"What Myrnin?" She snapped.
"Uh I have had a bit of a mishap." I said looking around again at the damage.
"Myrnin if you kille-"
"No not like that, but I am going to need a big broom." She hung up and walked into the mess within no time. She stopped as she stepped through.
"What did you do?" She almost yelled.
"Oh um I'm not sure actually. I was working on an experiment and it malfunctioned setting on fire and then I left before I could find out what happened next." She finally stepped all the way through and picked up her skirt.
"I am not paying for this." She said looking at me.
"No no I can do that, I just want you to send away the cops when they get here." She looked at me for a long moment as if deciding whether or not to let them take me or not.
"Fine." She put her skirt down and pulled out her own cellular device. She called the police, but I wasn't listening. Oh Claire was going to be so very mad at me. I ran a hand through my hair and Amelie finished the conversation. "Okay they aren't coming to arrest you, but you have a lot of cleaning to do." And she left. She was right though. I wouldn't burden Claire with cleaning this. But I forgot someone. I went back to the secret room and looked around for a few minutes the Bob crawled from around the couch.
"Ah Bob come here." I said softly and he scurried towards me. I opened the portal back up and Bob jumped back to the lab. I stepped through and began the tedious task of cleaning without damaging everything that was repairable.
xXx
It was morning when I finally finished. I was exhausted even with my vampire speed. I sit down on the now spotless couch and rest my elbow on the arm rest and held my head up with my hand. I closed my eyes for what felt like one minute and was awoken by a gently prod on the shoulder. Out of reflex my hand flashed out grabbing the other and she didn't even flinch.
"Sorry it's 1 o' clock. I let you sleep." She didn't move her hand.
"Oh well." I stood up in a fluid movement and gave her hand back. "Thank you." I walked over to where the table was supposed to be and then frowned.
"Yea where did all of the equipment go?" I could tell by her tone of voice she had her hands on her hips.
"Yea remember that sideways experiment?" I cleared my throat. "That had something to do with this…Mishap." I waved my hands around me.
"Well how are we going to do anything?" She waved her hands as well as I turned around.
"I was wondering if you would accompany me to go, in this modern day you might say, a shopping spree." Her draw dropped. "What?"
"You don't go shopping Myrnin." She said finally.
"Well I do when my lab is blown up. So what do you say?" I held out my arm for her to take and she rolled her eyes, but slipped her own through mine.
"Aren't you going to suit up?" She stopped.
"Oh yes that would be best." I darted away grabbing a black mad hatter's hat with instead of cards a black feather and a long brown trench coat. "There."
"Only you." She took my arm again and we walked out of the lab. We proceeded like this for some time until we were already around the block. "Where do you think you are going to get your equipment?" I shrugged I had hoped she knew. "Well I don't know where you can find antique paraphernalia that still works."
"Well exactly it doesn't need to work. I could always modify it to work." I said rather matter-of-factly.
"Oh right mad scientist over here." She said. "Then looks like we head to the antique shop just up ahead." We walked into the store and I was in awe at all of the older mechanics. I let go of Claire and started to dash around, looking from item to item. She stood over by the counter not wanting to get in my way. "You'd think he's in a candy store." I heard someone laugh other than her and stopped to see who it was.
"Ah Gregory how good to see you." I nodded and proceeded to move around.
"You don't by chance deliver?" I heard her ask.
"Of course. I don't see you lifting all of his stuff." Gregory said sweetly. I saw she stood up and began to look at a collection of ceramics. I flashed over and grabbed one. I looked at the bottom for the year it was made.
"Hmmph." I grabbed it and she called after me.
"Hey I was looking at that." She whined indignantly.
"Yes and from the year the ceramic have traces of thorium. Much useful in fact." I heard her groan and sit down in a nearby chair.
"Only you." She repeated. I seemed content with my findings and brought them to the counter. Gregory looked at it all in awe.
"Why don't you just take the whole store?" He said starting to grab my items.
"Really?" I was interested. It would be a bigger lab and….
"Myrnin it was a figure of speech." Claire piped up from where she sat.
"What's with this day and age and their confusing sentences?" I asked looking behind me at her.
"We do it for you Myrnin. You need a little confusion in your life." She stood up and since I was done she began to look around.
"Well I don't like it just get to the point. Don't prance around." I heard her reply in a distracted voice and I turned around to see she was looking at a charm bracelet. It was very intricately designed and would look beautiful on her, but she frowned and moved away. I was going to say something, but I was interrupted by Gregory.
"What do you want to take with you? So I know what to send to…..well where ever it is you live." He asked finished ringing up all of my merchandise.
"Nothing I want it all delivered, I have other places to be." I snapped at the rude comment and he shrugged and began to put it all into boxes. "Claire, are you finished?" I asked carefully not to think I was in a hurry.
"Yea." She sighed walking around the corner and opened the door for me.
"I should have gotten that." I saw putting my hat back on and she grabbed my arm again.
"Change and confusion are a great part of a balanced life. We need to turn around." She said tugging at my arm.
"Why?" I stopped.
"Because the book store is behind us." She pulled again and I turned around. "Oh hey Shane. Shouldn't you be at work?" I looked up from my hat.
"I would ask you the same thing." He regarded me with a disgusted look.
"I was just asking and I am had a bit of a mishap and we need to restock on equipment." She said sweetly to persuade him nothing had happened.
"I bet." He managed.
"You didn't answer my question. Why aren't you at work?" She kept holding on to my arm. Shane looked at the contact and I saw anger flare up inside him.
"I got an early off since the manager was sick and we weren't getting anything done, but I see something was done today." He snarled. I decided to interject Claire's retort.
"I can assure you that the only thing 'done' was our shopping." I could feel the sun begin to sting the back of my neck.
"Oh yes and I can trust you. Come on Claire I have some left over's." He held up a bag and Claire shook her head.
"I'm still working." A grim expression came across his face.
"Claire I hate to interrupt you two, but I need to get the shade soon." I whispered in her ear.
"What did you say?" He took a step closer threatening.
"He said he needed to get to shade soon." Claire was on the verge of moving.
"I say let him burn. Serves him right." He briefly tucked his head to enhance his point. She growled in frustration and dragged me with her.
"Shane I hope you enjoy your barbeque alone because you'll be lucky to find me home tonight!" There was a flutter in my chest, but I suppressed it.
"Really you would rather stay with that?" She didn't reply just kept on walking fast. "I knew you were cheating on me! Unfaithful bitch!" She kept going, but I could hear her breath hitch and a whimper in the back of her throat. I didn't know where we were going, but I for sure knew we passed the book store. I didn't want to say anything though. Finally she turned into a shaded alleyway and let go falling to her knees. The burning subsided and I crouched down to where she was.
"Claire, look at me." She didn't she only looked at her, now wet with tears, hands. Her hair fell around her covering her face and my hand itched to push it behind her ear to reveal her beautiful face. "Claire…." I said softly. She looked at me finally with irritation and misery. Tears continued to spill from her eyes and again I had to restrain myself from comforting her.
"He thought that the whole time!" She yelled past the tears. "Every day I was with you that's what he thought!" She looked back at the ground and more tears pour like a waterfall.
"Claire…I doubt it was the whole time. I was very sick for most of the beginning." I couldn't resist anymore and I moved a loose strand of hair to behind her ear. She hiccupped and half heartedly pushed my hand away. I caught it and held it. I wasn't very good at this, but I would attempt to comfort her.
"Who knows he could have thought that." Her voice was barely above a whisper. "How is it that everyone can see your true feelings, but I am shut out?" She looked at me her eyes red rimmed and her faces traced in tears. I took a long moment looking into her eyes.
"I want other people to see that, someday or whenever you are content, that what is mine will be mine." I said it softly not possessively like the Collins boy would have. Her eyes shined and I lifted her up. "Come now Claire it would be rude of me to leave you in the dirt like this." She stood on her feet and rushed into me. My arms took a minute to register what was happening then mechanically hugged her back. I felt the damp begin to form on my shirt and she pulled away.
"Sorry." She rubbed her arm nervously.
"No need. You were not the one saying spiteful words to cause yourself to cry. Now if I may ask, would you accompany me to the book store, Miss Claire?" She smirked at my attempt to lighten her mood and she accepted my arm walking out of the alley way. I would be overjoyed to tell you that she never saw that human child again and she soon recognized my true liking for her, but that would not be the case of this particular tale. That is not how one lives in Morganville. Nor shall it ever be.
