Hey guys, I worked a lot on this chapter and I hope you appreciate and enjoy it. I want to thank for the relentless support and reviews which help me improve all the time. I'l let you get on with it ;)

Claire's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes, Michael, probably one of the toughest people I know, down in chains. On Amelies command. I couldn't rush over or check if he's okay yet, Amelie is still drawing us to her. Like moths to a flame.

"What did you do?!Answer me, damm it!" Shane screamed at her. He probably would have grabbed her if he wasn't busy with supporting Michael. She didn't even turn around to reply, she said something that sounded like. "He brought this on himself" And got into the intimidating car, that drove away, leaving Myrnins car with a smashed post-box on his front window. It actually looked like an assassination attempt gone wrong. It didn't take long for the pull to be gone, and as soon as it faded, releasing our bodies we both let out a sigh of relief. It's like acting against your senses, being trapped by an imaginary pull. I immediately rushed to Michael as Hiram just stood up and watched.

"Mikey? Where's Eve?Bro?" he was nearly done with the silver chains, where the chains touched his skin, angry, deep marks followed and it looked like he had them on a while. If I had a weak stomach or had, in fact eaten, I probably have thrown up at this point.

A sigh of relief went through Michael as the last of the chains were taken off, and a morbid fear appeared in his eyes. I haven't seen him look this scared, ever. Not even when Frank had broken in and attacked him. He tried to stand up, but a blur presented a hand on his shoulder. Myrnin. He looked oddly calm, and knowing him, probably scheming inside.

"I...I have to get her" Michaels words were barely a sound. Shane mirrored his fear, and looked at him in silence. At this point Hiram tried to back away, to return wherever he came from. Acting on instinct, I grabbed his elbow. Huh. So ghosts can touch each other.

"You can't go now! We need you" I shouted.

"No, they don't need me, you need me. Michael will recover and I don't care what happens to the loud Goth girl" He curled his lip at the word Goth, all kindness he showed, gone.

"He'll get killed getting her back! Please, at least try to tell him I'm here, I want to help!" I was holding him by his shirt now, yanking and twisting, just to keep my hold on him.

Michael was shaking and Myrnin handed him an opaque sports bottle. She never noticed it but he was covered in tiny bites, all oozing blood. She hoped he didn't lose too much, and the chains didn't exactly help.

"Get off me, woman, before I put you in your place! He may be killed, but that's his choice, not mine." He looked astounded at my attack and shoved me off.

"Pretty sure you don't want anyone else apart from a glass to own this house, it's been in the family for generations hasn't it?" I struck a chord with him; he seemed astounded at my words.

"Fine, but only to tell him you're here" He sounded disgruntled. I turned my attention back to the trio, who were waiting for Michael to finish his drink.

"Thanks, but before I go get Eve, there's something you should know Shane "He stood up, using the wall and Myrnins hand as support. He squarely faced Shane and it seemed it took a lot for him to say it.

"When it got...us it, the thing, laughed, and said how much fun it or he..had while it killed Claire." Those words came out as a rush, and he looked at Shane, who had his hands clenched, anger and danger radiating from his body.

"We go, we find him, we take Eve and we kill him" he said bluntly. He was gathering weapons as he spoke, but Myrnin stopped him and put a hand on his shoulder. That was weird, even for Myrnin, but I could see the loss in his eyes. He would stop them, he would, because it's hopeless.

"Shane, we have been fighting these things for centuries, they are as old as vampires, you shouldn't try" Myrnin hung his head; those probably were the wisest and sanest words he has spoken. Ever.

Shane looked at the open door, and then at Myrnin. "She's all that I had, and Eve is all that Michael has left. I wouldn't wish the same fate on anyone, at least I'll go down fighting for her" hearing those words, they awoke a fire in me. He was my Shane, and I was alive, sort of. He isn't going to go and get himself killed, even how noble the cause. Not him, or Michael for Eve, we can figure this out. Together.

They both got ready, with Myrnin shaking his head and shouting after them. "Fools! Even Amelie can't take them down, how do you expect to win?"That stopped them in their tracks, but Shane just scoffed and headed for the door. That did it. All the hurt, all the pain of watching him be, the jealousy of watching Eve and Michael comfort each other, and the fear of Shane never coming back, the fear of being left alone, I let it all out, screaming in frustration. It was like a rush that filled me, a power, as ancient alchemy symbols flashed on my arms and the door swung closed so bad, it made Michael jump and left cracks in the wall. I sank to the floor and just glared at Hiram.

"Try"

Michaels POV

It was so quick. We were about to go but the door just shut. I heard as it whistled through the air, the harsh contact it made with the frame, as the cracks in the wall spread. In the crack, there was a faint green glow, and it faded as I watched. Suddenly Myrnin ran forward and cackled it was such a strange sound. He danced around the door, his bunny slippers flopping in the air. He just turned to Shane gave him a crazy grin.

"Pay up, I told you she still may be here" he ran down to the couch and pulled out a device full of gears and started to walk around. Did he mean Claire? But...it couldn't be. She couldn't be trapped, could she? I remembered in agony, watching everyone, having their life as I lived mine in secret, if she's trapped, she doesn't even have that.

I looked at Shane, but all he said was "Its green. Like last time. It's green." Myrnin hearing this pulled him into a conversation, something about energy or whatnot. I didn't speak science, but he didn't seem to be in it, Shane kept glancing at the door, as if it'll do it again. I understood his bewilderment. But I still couldn't get over mine. It was so quick, my heart broke all over again as I couldn't do anything to save her, I tried, but that nasty laugh entered my head, mocking me. I shut my eyes and recalled him taking her. My Eve.

That's all for chapter 5! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please let me know what you think!I would appreciate it a lot :)
