Me: Hey, hey, hey! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing my previous chapter! I know it's only been a day but someone has requested a new chapter so a new chapter I bring! I hope you enjoyed the previous chapter, and I hope you enjoy this one!

Myrnin: Thanks for reviewing, my vampire bunny slippers weren't burnt!

Claire: Are you so sure…?

Me: Remember, I do not own any of the Morganville Vampire characters, they all belong the amazing Rachel Caine!

Previously…

"Claire Bear! Oh, thank God your-" Then I saw the marks on her neck and cried out. "Oh Claire, what happened to you!?" I asked, sensing Michael freeze behind me.

"?" She asked, weakly. "Eve I-" then she passed out.

Now…

Claire's Point of View.

I awoke stifling a yawn and looked around me. I was in the Glass House living room (thank God!) with a blanket covering me – don't forget the four people staring at me… wait, four?! I opened my eyes and saw Shane, Eve, Michael and… Myrnin? What was he doing her…? Then I remembered and my eyes widened…

Oh, oh yeah… I was attacked. By a vampire… After all I did for them… saving them from a horrible destiny… bastards!
"What're you staring at?" I mumbled and they snapped their heads towards me. Myrnin rushed over to me and asked, "Fy annwyl. What happened, little bird. Who attacked you? Because I swear to-" He said, but I shushed him.

"It was… oh God. No, no I will no betray him!" I said and frantically threw the blanket of my body. They stared at me shocked, and I ran out of the house… I couldn't betray him! He… sure, he almost killed me but we're family! He… he had to, right? He couldn't survive a year without my… without my blood. It was my fault… I… I cursed him, I need to go to him… now!

20 minutes later, and lots of running…

I gasped, shocked at what I saw… "Rapheal? You… you're alive!" I cried out and flung myself into his arms. Rapheal… he's alive!
"Clarissa?" He whispered, to nobody and everybody…

"Rapheal! I- I missed you so much… I- this town is full of vampires, some good, some bad… Amelie is – Amelie is their leader. She doesn't recognise me, nor does Myrnin… I think I've deceived them well enough, but… there's a slight problem, Rapheal. I can't and I won't, destroy Myrnin. He's… I love him, I think. Yes, I do… I love him." I said and broke down in his arms.

"Clarissa?" He said, his love for me showing in his eyes. "You're my sister… I will always support you. But doesn't he have the disease? He could… snap and have an episode. I don't want to lose you, not again. I thought you were dead… I mourned you. We all did. Look around, we await your command, sister. We are here for you. But are you here for us?"

"Where is- where's father?" I said, searching his eyes for the answer…
"Clarissa, father is- father was attacked one day… The covenant decided he was getting too powerful… they killed him because he was gaining power but you… they do not know of the extent of your power… they must never know, not if you want to live. Imagine, they killed father for he was gaining power – but what will they do to you? They will do much, much worse Clarissa… and I don't want to see you in that pain… go to Myrnin, tell him of the truth, but… don't leave me out. Tell him everything you know… It's your only hope." He replied. I heard something behind me and I spun around to address them… it was Myrnin.

"Myrnin…? How did you… why did you..?" I asked, and he just stared me.
"Fy nghariad? You said you, you love me?" He whispered, almost to himself but I heard. Of course I did.

"I… yes. But, you won't love me. Not after… not after what I've done in the past… You're saying you don't recognise me? Do you remember, 1786, a girl, Clarissa, was at your house… helping you. And… afterwards, she, she kissed you, she told you she loved you… and you let her go – but only because of the disease. You loved her back, remember? You said to her… 'if I ever lose you, and I'm loosing you now, but I will always, always, find you. Because, fy nghariad, I love you, and I always will… and should I find you, on that day, I would ask you to marry me but I can't… because this… disease eating away at my brain…' then- then you started crying… you broke down and you started crying and she responded… ' Myrnin, I love you… I always will, always have.. and I'll wait. I'll wait until the planets align, until the sun stops. I will wait until the end. I will wait for you.' Myrnin… I waited… I-I'm right here…" I said, my voice breaking towards the end… this is the man I love… I always loved him… but he never remembered me… "But, Myr… you didn't wait… Ada… You loved her, you didn't wait… not like I did… it's been, what, 250+ years? I waited a 3 lifetimes for you… but you didn't me…" I started crying… the well I had built up, just collapsed and along with it I did. I just hit the floor, these conflicting emotions raging through my body… Myrnin just looked… emotionless. Like it was another one of his dreams. Then he snapped out of it, rushed towards me and held me like a baby- gently rocking me forwards and backwards… "You said you'd find me… Myrnin… I waited for so long… I- I thought you were dead… Rapheal saw me… he stopped me from… from… Oh god Myrnin… I missed you so much… I love you so much. But you never waited…" Myrnin looked at me, his eyes full of love, compassion and… lust.

"What did he stop you from?" He asked, his voice a whisper – he didn't want to know the answer… I could see it in his eyes.

"I- it doesn't matter…"

"Yes, it does." He snapped back edgily…

"Do you really want to know…?" I said hoarsely, I was afraid of what he'd do if he was to find the answer…

"Yes, my love, I have to…"

"Well… when I thought you'd died, I was angry, devoid and lost. I… I tried to kill myself… but Rapheal… he came into my room… he, he turned me… into a… witch… but he saved my life Myrnin… When I came to Morganville, when I signed the contract with you I had no idea how close to me you were… just streets away. When I started work with you and you… and you didn't recognise me… it just tore me up inside. I went back into the state before, I hid it well. From everyone… no one, not even you knew the grief inside me… I just didn't know what to do, Myr. I was crushed inside, with no one to save me. When I was bit by the vamp, I didn't even fight back. Do you know why? Because, when I got home tonight again, I was going to do something, stupid. I just couldn't handle it anymore. I was breaking inside. When I saw Rapheal, I no longer wanted to do that. Myrnin, I asked myself this question constantly… could you answer it for me? Please? And… make sure to do it truthfully." He nodded. "I… whenever I thought about you I'd ask myself, ' Did he really love me?' And my answer to myself was 'no, he didn't. If he really did love you would he forget you so… easily?' Myrnin of Conwy, do you love me?" I whispered, afraid of the horrid word 'no' being spoken.

"Clarissa, I love you. I love you so, so much… And I hate myself for what I put you through. I shall never forgive myself but do you forgive me?" I lent upwards and kissed him. He kissed back with all the love he could muster, and my arms soon flung upwards to his neck, holding on as if nothing else mattered in the world… I was with the man I loved, and he loved me back!

"What the hell is going on here?" I heard a cold voice demand behind us.

Oh, I forgot to say, or did I say it? Lemme just check… Aha! Alas, I did not!

Me: This chapter is dedicated to ClaireBear99! Remember guys, I do not own any of these characters (except from Rapheal who I haven't described yet! Agh. That'll be next chapter… I promise! 3)

Oliver: Remember to R&R! If you do not, I will burn Myrnin's lab down…

Myrnin: Why is it always me who gets punished if no one R&R'S!

Me: Oh, shush, you two. Remember, I can just kill you Oliver… *smiles*

Oliver: You will do no such thing!

Me: Oh, really? *runs to computer*

Anyways, do you think I should continue with Clyrnin or go to Clane… Personally, I'd prefer to continue with Clyrnin because… they're made for each over! Anyways, the next chapter should be up within a day or two… Love ya!
