Thank you for the reviews it's been lovely reading them

Claire

I bit back the lump that forged its way up my throat. I seethed and turned around to Eve. She looked worried and scared, but I knew she would be ready when I called to her.

"Claire?" She said softly.

"Yes?" I walked over putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I – I know the vampire." I tilted my head.

"What? How?"

"Do you remember that trip Michael and I had to take a few months ago to go check out that vampire that was attracting attention?" I nodded waiting for her to continue. "Well that was him. His name is Jeremy. He's different from the others. He's disturbed. When we met him he had this look, something that you saw in a wild animal in a caged pen. It wasn't something I wished to ever see again." She shivered and I squeezed my hand on her shoulder for comfort.

"It's okay, we got this guy. Sure most of the people in Morganville don't like the vampires, but without them the government would find us and guess what they would do? They would ruin this city. They would take away the rights we have earned and add new rules, like tax." She looked at me in question, but got the point. She gripped her gun tighter and pulled out her cell phone. I didn't question who she was calling, I just didn't want to be in any group with him.

"Shane?" He seemed to not hang up. "We need your help." I could faintly hear him on the other line. "No, round up your biker buddies. We got a job." It sounded like he was arguing with her. "Shane. Now." She said with a force that I cringed back and I no longer heard talking on the other line. "Now go do it." She hung up and gave me a reassuring smile. "All good. Let's go." She put her phone away and we walked out to the hearse and put her gun at ease. If this 'Jeremy' really did have all the vampires contained there would be no threat in walking around at night. I was wondering how he could possibly take down Amelie. That made her think of Oliver. I doubted he would bow down like a dog, but when Bishop took over….Something stirred in the air again as the sound of footsteps and a familiar voice barking orders. The sound got louder and I looked around the alleyway. Never before, since their break up, had Claire been happy to see Shane. About seventy five men clad in leather and weapons were marching in the waning moon light. Eve and I waited for them to stop before we moved or even made a noise. They soon stopped and looked at us with determined and confused glances. Eve decided it would be best to talk. "Shane." She ran forwards giving him a hug. He reciprocated it. They stayed in touch even if our relationship hadn't worked out. The broke away and Shane looked over at me. I had a hand on my gun and waited for him to say something stupid.

"You look good." I wasn't expecting that. I didn't let my shock show in my face. I nodded a reply and looked at Eve. She began to give the schpeal.

"Jeremy was a vampire that Michael and I went to go recoup, but when we met him he was just disturbed. Like he never knew that not all humans were bad. He said that he would return in his own time when he was done in the world. Looks like he's done now." A few of his buddies made noises, but were soon silenced by Eve's harsh glare. "Sure most of the town isn't par for the vampires, but think about what they have done. They have kept this town a secret for how long? It is best if it remains that way." I stepped forward.

"We don't want this as a modern day Roanoke." A few of them looked confused. Good going smarty pants. "Except the word 'Croatian' won't be engraved into a tree, Jeremy will." I scanned the crowd. "We will not let some stranger come in and turn this into an actual ghost town." There were whoops of agreement and I looked at Shane. After a long stare he nodded. "Alright, while I was in the lab I noticed that there were grid lines up on a repeat, or so I thought." I waited. Five, four. I pointed in the direction of founder's square. Three, two. Everyone turned. One. The lights went out one by one, starting with founders square. They all looked shocked. "He had to be there, this has been happening for almost a week now. More frequent after the vamps were taken. If we can single out where exactly he is than we can find the vampires hopefully. I'll get a hold of Hannah and get some cops in the underground circuits. Surely if he were to be hiding the majority of the population there is only one place to do it." They continued to watch as the lights flickered on and off. I pulled out my phone and dialed Hannah. She picked up right away.

"This better be important." She sounded tired and annoyed.

"You mean the missing vampires isn't important?" She sighed.

"Hello Claire, and yes that's what I am trying to figure out right now."

"Watch the lights." She waited. The was no noise then,

"Holy shit, how didn't I notice this." She groaned. "Let me guess you have a plan?" I grinned.

I walked with my gang of bikers and cops around founders square. We were sectioned into four groups. Eve was north east, Shane was south west, Hannah was underground, and I was covering the north west because the south east was where we had just come from. We watched the lights and managed to pin point exactly where he was. It was a very large house, not quite a mansion, but also bigger than the Glass house. It had elaborate trim and painting despite the sun dried houses around it. I wondered for a moment whose it was. I made motions for them to follow. When the lights went out that's when we would go in. It took eight minutes. The lights went out and I made the signal. We all ran silently and stealthy through the grass. We climbed the steps and I saw the faint outline of Eve's party running to their designated spot. The energy in the air came again and I opened my mouth. "Cut to now holy wow. When did everything become such a hell of a mess?" I nodded for one of the men to pick the lock. In another second we were in. "Maybe now maybe now. Can someone come and take this off my chest?" We all filed in and found spots to hide when I heard the sound of soft footsteps landing in the rooms around us. "I know you think it's not your problem." We all made our way to where we heard soft music playing and someone calling out. "I know you think that God will solve them." I saw someone jump out of the corner of my eye and I threw a silver cherry bomb at them. It was silent and did the job. "But if your shit is not together it'll never be, you and me plant the seed open up and let it be." I heard the soft hum of everyone around me.

"We are the people that you will never get the best of. Not forget the rest of. We've had our fill we had enough we've had it up to here. Are we all we are? Are we all we are?" I heard Eve begin to sing.

"We are the people that you will never get the best of. Not forget the rest of. We've had our fill we had enough we've had it up to here. Are we all we are? Are we all we are?" Shane finished. The music got louder and the snarls became more evident.

"Four, that's how many years it took me to get through the lesson. That I had to do it all on my own. Three, that's how many hail Mary's they would pray for me thinkin I was going to end up all alone. Two, for second chances that you've given me lucky me lucky me now let's go. One is what we are. It's what we are. All we are we are. All we are we are." We burst through the doors and I cocked my gun pointing it at anyone in front of me. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the rescue party. A man, no teenager looked over with a wicked grin and threw Amelie to the ground. Her hair was a mess of blonde hair around her face and she tried to make herself look invisible by pulling up her legs close to her chest and hiding in the lounge.

"Oh Claire, I have been expecting you. You're little slave seems to be getting stronger. It seems someone has been feeding him." His voice got higher at the end. I looked around cautiously for Myrnin. I didn't see him anywhere until he was thrown from the shadows somewhere. He slid with one foot outstretched in the position a runner might be in at the start of a race and was looking fatally at the vampire. He ran forward and dodged the defense vampire that tried to get at him. I had my gun trained on the one Myrnin was running at. It looked like he was fuelled on the blood I gave him and such rage. He snarled and jumped clashing with Jeremy – it had to be - in mid air and they were a tangle of hissing and and flashes of fang here and there. A different vampire jumped towards me and I shot dead center in his chest with the silver buck shot. He screeched as it hit him and he fell to the floor writhing in pain. And it began. Shots were fired and screams pierced the air. I fired off a few shots before I felt cold hands wrap around my waist and my mouth. I tried to scream, but it was smothered. I tried to get at him with my concealed knife, but his arm was in the way and he only squeezed harder. I felt myself go woozy and the room began to spin. When he removed his hand to open a door I managed a mangled scream.

"Myrn- " It was cut short as he squeezed until she was unconscious.

Myrnin

"Myrn –" Her scream pierced the air and I fought my way to where I thought it was. Where was she? I saw light streaming from under the carpet and kicked at the wall. It fell with a crash and I ran down into the semi darkness. I could smell her and that wretched child. I tried to follow, but the musk and smell of the underground hindered it greatly. Gods I hate relying on sight. I looked around and tried to look for any sign that he was there with her.

"Claire!" I called out into the dark, but the only thing that answered me was the echo of my own voice.

Claire

I woke up to something wet dripping on my face. I prayed it wasn't blood. I moved on the damp floor into a puddle. I sniffed it in the dark and recoiled. Not blood, but something worse. I put my hands out to feel a wall or something and almost broke my finger. The rough wall did scrape a few layers of skin. I tried to remember how I got here.

"Oh good to see you're awake." Oh yea.

"Wait this isn't a nightmare?" He gave a sick laugh.

"Oh no this is far too real." I could hear someone moving, but I couldn't see them. I tried to stand up using the wall I nearly cut off my finger with to help with support, but my ankle screamed out in pain causing me to as well. He gave a wicked chuckle. "You see Claire, I was born into darkness. Rose into the misery and pain of others. Reborn into the cruel world of humans, but do you know who I really loathe?" He sounded like he was pacing.

"Whoever sold you your toothpaste." That earned me a smack. I could taste blood on my lip and the sharp bite of a headache wracks my brain.

"No, the ones who made me this way. I didn't have the best life, but I was working on making it better. You see, I wasn't always bad," He paused, I decided to bite my tongue. "Not genuinely though. I used to want a better life for my family. We were poor, I'll admit it. We hardly ever had enough bread on the table. One night I went out trade some of our harvest for some meat when I was jumped. All I remember was the pain, the white hot pain, and then nothing. Absolutely no feeling. At all. Numb to the core. I thought nothing of it having been jumped on a cold night and left for dead. I went home and as soon as my mother and sister came to welcome me home I attacked them. Drained them dry of blood before they could finish screaming." He waited for me to mull this over.

"Don't expect me to feel sympathy for you." I hissed back the pain in my ankle.

"Oh no, I wasn't expecting it." He growled. I set my head back on the water logged wall. It began to soak my hair with filthy water. My eyes tried to adjust to the light. It was hardly any use. I could only see his outline as he sat on what looked like a bed or cot. I looked around and saw I was in a sort of cell.

"Do you want to finish up this story, I really have to pee." I looked at him as he stood up.

"Soil yourself human, I wouldn't give faith in that pretty boy that he would save you." And he was gone. I didn't see where he went, but it was away from here. I reached around into my boot and grabbed my phone. I was so happy to have charged it up this morning. I turned it on and almost hissed. The light stung my eyes. I went through my apps. Come on, come on, come yes! I turned on the video and turned on the flash. It lit up the tiny room. I hid it under my shirt to make sure that he wasn't coming back and took out the light. I looked and saw I had one bar and hurried to text Myrnin. I didn't want it to be too long, but it I also needed the point across. I text him saying ug. And that was all. I looked around again and got up ignoring my ankle and walked over to the bars. I looked out and saw it was just like the ones Amelie had made for the other the insane vampires and like the one Myrnin locked himself in. I wrapped my numb fingers around the bars and tried to poke my head through. No such luck. I bit back the bile that rose in my throat as I took a deep breath. The rancid smell hit my nostrils and I gagged. I was definitely underground.

"Hear me." I whispered. "Hear me." I said a little louder. "You've got to be out there. You've got to be somewhere." I tried to look around as my eyes readjusted. "Cause there are these nights when I sing myself to sleep. Hoping my dreams bring you close to me. Are you listening?" I stepped back as I felt air whoosh in front of me. "Hear me I'm crying out. I'm ready now. Turn my world upside down. Find me!" I ran into the bars again sinking down to the floor. "I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud." Something sounded in the distance and I lay down on the floor. "I need you to see I'm screaming for you to please, hear me!" There were snarls and footsteps and I wanted to cry out, but they were gone just as fast. I lay my arm out as a makeshift pillow and lay my head on my upper arm. I closed my eyes feeling a pressure swamp over the cells. "I'm restless and wild. I fall, but I try. I need someone to understand." In a softer voice. "Can you hear me?" Louder now. "I'm lost in my thoughts, and baby I've fought for all that I've got. Can you hear me?!" I scream as I slip out of consciousness.

Okay so there I rushed this one so if you don't like it please tell e I had to get it out for the sake of giving the audience what they wanted but if it's bad just please let me know in reviews below
