Hey everyone. Finally got inspiration for this chapter and though it is short, I think it's come out quite good. So please review and let me know your thoughts. The was inspired by 'Weight of the world' by Evanesensce. Enjoy.
Claire laid on her bed, just staring at the clock, waiting for Rex to come home. She had been like this since she had 'remembered' being told that Morganville was full of Vampires. The door slammed shut and she heard footsteps walking around in the kitchen. Claire lifted her head up of the pillow and called out
"Rex?" She waited for a couple of minutes and heard the footsteps getting closer to her room. She froze for a second before she heard
"Claire? Are you ok?" Claire shut her eyes for a second, trying to hold back tears and called back
"Rex. Can you come in? I really need to talk to you" The door opened and Rex stepped in, wearing sweats and a grey top. He leaned back against the door and asked
"Everything ok?" Claire shook her head. She sat up and stared at him.
"I had one of those weird visions again. This girl told me about something" Claire paused and Rex sat down next to her.
"She told me that the place I was at before was run by vampires" Claire took a quick look at Rex before continuing hurridly
"I feel like I shouldn't tell you this because it's going to put you in danger but I don't know who to go to" Rex stood up and looked down at Claire
"I'm booking you more appointments at that therapist" Claire looked at him and replied softly
"You don't believe me" Rex ran a hand through his hair and said quietly
"No" Claire stood up and grabbed her jacket, shoes, keys and a bag and left her room. Rex followed her and asked
"Where are you going?" Claire stopped at the door and without looking back replied
"I need space. I'll be back later"
Claire slumped down in the seat of a fast food chain and flipped open her bag. She felt bad for storming out on Rex and knew that she should probably call to let him know that she was ok. She reached for her phone and felt her hand grip another object. Frowning, she pulled out the item and stared at the unfamiliar phone. She pressed down on the power button but nothing happened. She paused for a second, staring down at the phone before getting her second phone out of her bag. She flipped open the backs of both and switched the memory cards. She tried to turn on her newer phone, tapping the table as it loaded up. She froze at the wallpaper. She was in the picture but with three people she didn't know. She looked closer and then recognised two out of the three as Eve and Michael. She opened up the text messages and scrolled through before randomly selecting one from Eve.
Hey Claire bear. M's at some vamp meeting. So house to ourselves. Film night? E x
Claire reread the text before placing both phones back into her bag and running back to Rex's apartment. Opening the door she realised that the entire apartment was black apart from the glare of the T.V screen in the living room. Claire stripped her coat and shoes off whilst saying
"Hey. I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have run out on you" Claire stopped for a second, waiting for a reply. She tried again, slowly walking towards the living room.
"Have you fallen asleep? You know you get a bad neck when you do that" She stopped in the doorway and opened the door. She looked at the T.V and saw the crew of Jersey Shore. She scoffed at the screen and said
"Now I really hope your asleep. You said that you hate these arseholes. Rex?" Claire walked forward and touched the back of his head. Her hand came away red and Claire backed away before walking around the chair to look at him. Rex's head was slumped forward and when Clare pushed it forward, she gasped. Multiple fang marks was covering his neck. Claire put her hand to her mouth to cover her screams and stepped back. It was then she noticed the handaddressed letter to herself. Claire ripped it out of Rex's cold hands and opened it.
Claire,
You would have done better if you had forgotten about us
Amelie
Claire dropped the letter and backed away, hitting the wall behind her and dropping to the floor. The apartment was silent as the TV went on standby and Claire tried to focus. A load trill cut through the silence. Absentmindly Claire reached into her bag and pulled out the phone asnd stared at the message
I would run now girl. Use that brain and find somewhere to hide
Claire took one last look at Rex before running to her room and packing some essential items. On her way out she avoided looking into the living room and ran past it. She locked the apartment for the last time and ran. Though she was scared, Claire suddenly became determined and the only thing that she could think of was revenge.
Please review
