Sorry, I need a wireless mouse cause my laptop is messed up so I won't be able to update as often, sorry.
On the bright side, you guys are epic and I'll try my best to keep updating often.
Chapter Eighteen
Claire's POV
I wake up, my head pounding. I'm laying on the hard floor. I attempt to groan but there's something shoved in my mouth.
"Your alive then? We almost thought we went through all that trouble for nothing," the man says. He is unfamilar and he's a vampire. My hands are tied behind my back and my feet are held together by something. I don't struggle because I need to save my energy. I have a plan.
"Your probably curious as to why we grabbed you," a female says. I can only nod stiffly," You can blame that on your little vampire friend, Myrnin," I blink in surprise.
"He didn't tell you?" the male asks, his voice somewhere between mocking and actual concern.
Shane's POV
"Why are they after you?" I ask. My voice is hard and I'm restraining myself from jumping him and demanding answers.
"There are some people who do not approve of my advances in technology and of my research," Myrnin says, shrugging.
"Well then, if your so smart, how do we get her back," I growl. I can't lose her, not now.
"I don't know," he whispers, looking dejected. Michael is across the room in a flash.
"Then find out," he snarls. I blink, looking at his scary expression. I hear a ringing sound and Myrnin pulls out his cell phone.
"Hello? Liam, you need to let her go. I'll make you a deal. Me for the girl," I look at him, stunned. This can't be happening.
Claire's POV
I'm left alone for now. I reach into my pants with some difficulty and pull out the item I hid there. Its a silver stake. We have a bunch in the house so I don't know if it's courtesy of Eve or Shane. I use the stake to cut the rope, using the tip of the stake.
It takes a lot of time but the ropes fall off and I pull the tape and cloth from my mouth. I untie the ropes on my ankles and stand and hide behind the door, stake ready.
After sometime, the door opens. There's a surprised noise but then I'm there, staking him. I had the element of surprise. I can't believe that worked. I open the door and slip out.
I move through the building, attempting to find an exit. I'm slammed into from behind. I yelp and manage to turn before I hit the ground. It's the female.
"Looks like we have an escapee," she snarls. I scratch her cheek and she jumps off me and I scramble up. She grabs my arm and slam it into the window. I keep a grip on the stake but some glass lodges in my arm and cuts me.
I stab into her hand and then shove the stake in her chest. I walk around for a while before I find the exit. I push out and clutch my arm. I walk a little ways away.
"I smell blood. You better not have hurt her," I hear a voice snarl. I freeze, sure I'm caught. I see three figures. It's raining heavily causing everything to be blurry. I can't tell if I know them or not.
"Stay away from me," I snarl, backing up some. One of the figures steps foreward. I back farther away," I said to stay away! I have a stake and I'm not afraid to use it," I yell louder.
"Claire, it's me, Shane," I hear a voice say. I step forward warily. When I recognize him, I run into his arms, ignoring my hurt arm. He grips me tightly.
"What happened? Are you hurt? Michael, I can't see, look for me," Shane says frantically.
"I'm fine. My arm is bleeding and I killed two vampires. I'm really tired and my head hurts," I say, leaning into him. I feel him lift me into his arms, carrying me bridal style. I fall asleep, my head lolling on Shane's shoulder.
