Damon & Clara Chapter eleven LA, a Morganville Vampires + Vampire Diaries Crossover fanfic

Chapter eleven – L.A

Clara's pov:

I woke up to find we had arrived in L.A it was amazing I couldn't believe this I was really in L.A, but something felt strange like someone was missing but everyone was here weren't they?

Michael's pov:

I had just gotten off the phone with Harry Sloan who was my manager for my music I was really famous and some new star he had found in a small bar at a karaoke night wanted a duet with someone well known and he had asked me to come all the way to L.A this was going to be hard I had to be there by Friday it was Monday today it would take some time to get there, I needed to talk to Amelie I told Harry I needed to phone him back and if I could ask some of my friends to come along with me.

I asked Amelie she said that I could leave with my friends and the bitch (Monica) I phoned Harry right back after that, I packed our things ready as they all came into the house, the thing with Monica had only started a couple of weeks ago because Shane had forgotten everything about Claire but Monica talking about the so called freak was soon going to trigger something in Shane but the whole relationship is just strange.

I told them all about the whole thing they were both excited and ready so we set off without any escort this time because of some unknown reason but I'm sure it was something good I hoped.

On the road… (Thursday night)

We were still in the car but it was night so I was driving faster so we got to the hotel we were staying at for some time for the album I was helping out with, but I looked behind me to see that Shane was looking at something I picture but I couldn't see what it was, Monica was asleep so I couldn't tell what the picture was about. Eve saw me looking and snatched the picture away to show Claire, Eve, me and Shane laughing it meant Shane had remembered. "So you remember then?" Eve asked Shane he nodded then looked at Monica like he was disgusted by himself for what he was doing but they hadn't got too far yet from what Shane had told me.

We soon pulled up in front of the hotel we were staying at it was posh very out of our league like when we stayed in Dallas, but this place was really nice. We checked in on time I met with Harry he showed us to our rooms it seemed weird being here but he showed us to the room where the new singer and her friends were staying but they were asleep so he said. (Hotel room/hotel on profile)

We unpacked our things into the room it was a nice place not really packed so it seemed to nice but we needed our sleep for tomorrow.

Next morning…

The morning was manic we were trying to get ready for the studio but it was getting to trying for us getting everything ready and what we needed.

When we got to the studio Harry was talking to some women she turned around I had to say she was smoking but I had my pregnant wife Eve to think of. (On profile) I got to talk to Harry he said that she was already recording a song and that we could all listen, before I could I saw someone coming out of a door, it was the guy that Claire was with but that would mean she was here. That was not good. I could see Monica and Eve googly eyes on him which made me seem really well nothing. (On profile) then someone else came out of the room they went down the hall to the studio like us this was not good I had a feeling it was Claire who we were seeing. (On profile) but that didn't matter it was going to be fine we were going to.

When we got there yep she was there Claire she was singing a song about love, war and sadness she made it sound so cool the way she sang this. But we only got to hear the middle beginning. (On profile)

… Sometimes to win, you've got to sin, don't mean I'm not a believer...and major Tom, will sing along. Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer.

They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for. Well baby, you are all that I adore, if love is what you need, a soldier I will be

I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting til' the wars won, I don't care if heaven won't take me back. I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you're everything I have...? And I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.

Ooooohhhhhhhh, ooooooohhhhh whoa, whoa oooh whoa

I'm an angel with a shotgun...fighting til' the wars won ...I don't care if heaven won't take me back...

... And I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight.

They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for. Well baby, you are all that I adore, if love is what you need... a soldier I will be.

After she had finished that song I saw she had really changed mostly but you could still see the old Claire we use to know in there. She looked to see us but not surprised that seemed good but I saw her looking at someone else. A girl that was to the side of us with Damon and the other two people, she waved to Claire as she looked at her but Claire just smiled at her. We started hearing more music playing then Claire started singing this was strange hearing her sing but it was amazing.

Your cruel device,

Your blood like ice.

One look could kill,

My pain, your thrill.

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)

I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop

I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)

I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison runnin' through my veins

You're poison; I don't wanna break these chains.

Your mouth, so hot

Your web, I'm caught

Your skin, so wet

Black lace on sweat

I hear you callin' and its needles and pins (and pins)

I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name

Don't wanna touch you, but you're under my skin (deep in)

I wanna kiss you, but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison runnin' through my veins

You're poison; I don't wanna break these chains

Poison

One look (one look), could kill (could kill),

My pain, your thrill.

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)

I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop

I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)

I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison runnin' through my veins

You're poison; I don't wanna break these chains

Poison

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)

I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop

I wanna kiss you, but I wanna too much (too much)

I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

Yeah

Well I don't wanna break these chains

Poison

Runnin' deep inside my veins

Burnin' deep inside my veins

Poison

You're poison runnin' through my veins

You're poison; I don't wanna break these chains

Its poison

I don't wanna break these chains

This was a strange song to sing for Claire I thought but maybe that was something about her that made it more her, I have no idea what that meant. But more music blasted through the sound pieces in the room as Claire started singing some more.

Come to me

The moon is closer than your eyes

I can barely see through the cracks

Light shines out my scars

Sirens scream in vain

I have already died a million times inside

I surrender

Shoot me down

No bullet could

Stop me now

My love does not depend

On anyone or anything

It'll never die

I'm ticking like a time bomb

Soon to blow away

I am not you

You are not me

It still plays

I could say I love you

If only for a day

My mind sunk this ship

I am drowned in it

I surrender

Shoot me down

No bullet could

Stop me now

My love does not depend

On anyone or anything

It'll never die

Ticking like a time bomb

I surrender

Shoot me down

No bullet could

Stop me now

My love does not depend

On anyone or anything

It'll never die

Tick tock

This reminded me of something that had happened to us all back when we were friends but I couldn't think of what it could have been. Before I could put my finger on what it was I was blasted with more music.

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours

Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger

I've never known the loving of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing

Funny, when you're dead how people start listening

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears; keep 'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys

And I'll wear my pearls

After that song there was more song that came after that but some stuck in my head. Then it was mine and Claire's turn to sing together this was going to be fun I just knew it,

[Claire's in: Italic Michael's in: Bold]

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away

I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away; you don't feel me, here anymore

The worst is over now and we can breathe again

I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away

There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away

You don't feel me here anymore

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away

You don't feel me here anymore

After that she continued singing she was on the last one called Manic girl she seemed really happy it again made me remember parts of our life that she was in with an adventure inside.

You can tell when everything is shiny

New and then you bust your ass

There's nothing you

Can do to keep it that way.

All the stupid things you said, just

Looked at me and opened your mouth

And all this

Ignorance poured out down to the ground

This is my manic pace

This is my manic face

This is what I look like what I

Don't know what I'm doing

This is my manic world

And I'm your manic girl

This is what I act like what I think I might be crazy.

This is my manic pace

This is my manic face

Somehow it makes me feel kind of

Dirty inside when I think about

Things left undone. See,

Find more similar lyrics on /FOXNI'm under the gun

Then I catch myself thinking, you

Know, I don't even know what I do

This for. Then I ask for

More

This is my manic pace

This is my manic face

This is what I look like when I

Don't know what I'm doing

This is my manic world

And I'm your manic girl

This is what I act like when I

Think I might be crazy...

This is my manic world

And I'm your manic girl

This is what I look like...

When I don't know what I'm doing

What I think I might be crazy

When I wish that I was sleeping

That I was sleeping, that I was sleeping

When she finished she ran out of the booth to hug a very pregnant Eve she was really happy to see Claire, she hugged me as well then introduced us to her friends. There was her boyfriend Damon that we had already met then Stefan his brother his girlfriend Elena then Claire's daughter Ethel she was older than us (On profile) but Claire explained that she was hiding to protect them. Her and Eve started catching up like nothing had happened she was having fun then Ethel came over to me. "Hi your Michael right you're really good at singing I really like your wife I hope your son has lots of love." She told me I was going to have a son I loved that idea. Claire had to leave to get her front cover of her album but I got to talking with her friends it seemed interesting.

She came back later with copy's for everyone they were amazing the cover had to be her work because it just well showed on the cover (on profile). But it was time for us to leave she hadn't talked to Shane or Monica hopefully to avoid but leaving was wrong but she promised we'd talk when we could that was the good part of it.
