Hey, so yeah I'm sorry I haven't updated in ages. Life has been shit and I just haven't had the time. I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and is looking forward to the New Year, I know that I am! Anyway enjoy this new chapter.
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you drag my spirit down
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising

Claire opened her eyes and smiled. Last night was perfect and she couldn't wait to see the consequences. Slowly walking downstairs, she looked down to see the rest of her roommates huddled around the TV. Claire wanted to grin with pride but held it inside whilst cautiously asking
"What's wrong?" Michael turned at the sound of her voice and said calmly
"There's been a bombing" Claire gasped
"Was anyone hurt?" Michael shook his head before turning to the other two and saying
"Amelie wants to see us. Eve you need to stay" Eve opened her mouth to protest but after a pointed look from Michael, stopped herself and looked towards Claire smiling. Shane stood up and left the house without looking at Claire. Michael sighed slightly before following him out the door. Eve watched him leave before turning to Claire and happily asking
"Breakfast?"
Claire sat at the table and watched as Eve moved around the kitchen. Eve looked at Claire before asking
"Bacon and eggs ok?" Claire nodded and Eve continued around the kitchen.
"So where are you from Claire?" Claire looked down at the cup she was gripping before answering "San Antonio. What about you?" Eve laughed and answered
"Morganville, born and bred" Claire laughed and pulled her cell phone out.
You were right babe. Whole town is in a frenzy over what happened. What's our next plan?
-C
Claire looked up quickly at Eve before texting back
Be round here as soon as you can. Not saying anything over text.
Claire put her phone away before looking at eve and saying
"I don't feel like food at the moment. Do you mind if I just go and get ready?" Eve looked at her quickly before replying
"No that's fine" Claire walked out of the kitchen and headed upstairs. She stood by her window and watched as Chase pulled up. Claire pulled out her phone and text
Going to have to climb up the pipe. I'm in the window next to it
Claire closed the door and watched Chase enter slowly through the window. He dropped the bag that he was holding onto the floor and it feel with a bang. Eve looked up from the newspaper she was holding and called out
"Claire? Is everything ok?" Claire flinched and called back
"I'm fine. Just dropped a book" Chase smirked at her before hugging her and saying
"You're a genius. The whole town is in a state of panic after last night. Apparently they are holding a town meeting to discuss what needs to be done" Claire smirked and sat on her bed.
"How do we top it now though, Chase?" He leaned back heavily against her door frame and sighed.
"We could always target a Vampire. Maybe one who is close enough to the founder" Claire smiled before replying coldly
"Maybe Oliver. Payback for what he did to me" A smash came from outside the room and Claire opened her door just to see Eve run down the stairs. She looked back at Chase and sighed
"Should we go after her?" Claire smiled
"Let her run. Besides I've got another idea for a vampire we can target"
Eve drove to the town council and ran past the guards. She burst through the doors of the meeting room and called out
"I know who ordered the bombs on the college and the blood bank" Amelie looked at her, leaned back in her chair and said
"Speak, Miss Rosser" Eve looked across at Michael and Shane, who looked utterly bored to be there, and replied
"It was Claire"
