Shane's POV Part 2
I woke up on the couch, no Claire beside me ofcourse. I was up most of the night thinking about all that's happened. Half way through Eve and Michael went to bed, together I think, couldn't really be sure.
I sat up and rubbed my face. I was tired. I needed coffee. I stood up and shuffled into the kitchen to see Myrnin standing at the refridgerator staring in. What was that crazy ass bastard doing in my house?
"What the hell are you doing?" I said sourly. He didn't turn around. I stormed over to him and swung him around to face me. "Hey! I asked you a question!" I yelled. He had no expression. Ofcourse.
He frowned. "I had to talk to you" He said in his Irish drivel. I flipped the switch on the coffee machine and slammed a cup on the counter. "Ooh can I get a cup?" he asked, leaning over my shoulder. I silently pulled another cup out of the cupboard and sat it next to mine. I delibiretly chose the cup with the stake on it for myself.
I poured steaming hot coffee into the two cups and went over to the fridge to get cream and sat them on the table. I then went to get some sugar and sat it next to it. I added some sugar to my coffee. No cream. meanwhile crazy ass was loading heaps of sugar and lots of cream into his. It was even worse that what Claire drank at that was bad enough.
Then I started thinking about Claire. I wish it was just all back to normal. Me, Claire, Eve and Michael. Some sort of...Normality. Even in Morganville.
He took a sip of his heart attack in a cup and smiled pleasently. Gross. I blew on mine then took a swig. The bitterness hit my tongue like a wave. Ah. Myrnin set his cup down and looked straight into my eyes. I could see the beast behind them. I knew what he was capable of and if I needed to put him down. I wouldn't hesitate, even if Claire DID like him.
"I need your help" He said regretfully. That made me feel warm inside. I knew he hated saying it, but still, I was glad I could relish in his hatred of me. It was pretty entertaining actually. I set my cup down and smiled. "Oh, you do, do you?" I said innocently. I could see red sparks in his eyes. I kept my guard up.
"Yes, I do. It pains me to ask but your the only one that can help" He spat. My smile started to fade. It was going to be something bad. I could tell.
Myrnin hadn't been letting me see Claire. Founder approved. They said that it would be better for us if we spent time apart for a while. I agreed regretfully. I didn't want to do it but I didn't want to hate Claire. I wanted to remember her as human, not vamp. I couldn't bring myself to do it. I wanted to see her. God I REALLY wanted to but I was afraid of what woud happen.
"What is it?" I said aware of the death look he was giving me. "It's Claire" he said quietly. Oh no. "what do you mean? If you've hurt her I swear to god Myrnin-" He interrupted. "No, no, no it's just she's a little...Out of control you might say. She can't settle, she keeps screaming at me that she wants to see you. She said she knows it's wrong but she said she can't do it anymore. She's so stubborn." He finished. "I didn't know what to do with her so I said I would try and see if you could come see her. Not for long, just long enough for her to get a hold of herself. She could get dangerous, verry dangerous." He said darkly.
I didn't know what to do. Ofcourse I wanted to see Claire but. Like this? I didn't know what to do. He looked genuinly spooked. Maybe it was the right thing to do.
I had to see her. Even if it killed me!
