So here goes nothing, I'm attempting to do Myrnin's point of view. Please tell me how well I do at it! :) I appreciate the reviews! Keep 'em coming!

**Myrnin**

"Claire, you can't go back there!" I say in complete frustration for what seems like the millionth time. "He knows where you live! He will look there for you first!"

"No Myrnin," Claire says firmly. "I've told you before, I won't run. Besides, there's nowhere else for me to go."

"You could stay here." I say quietly as the idea suddenly comes to me.

"What?!" Claire practically shrieks.

"Listen a minute," I say putting my hands out, trying to calm her. "He would not think to look there. You may sleep in my bedroom, I will find a couch."

"No, just no Myrnin," Claire says shaking her head, as stubborn as ever. "That's too weird. I mean well, since we're a couple and everything I guess," She says, blushing and looking away.

"Is that what we are Claire?" I ask, starring at her intently. "A couple?"

"I guess," She says with a shrug, avoiding my eyes. "Besides, I couldn't be cooped up here all day! I have classes."

"I would accompany you. Claire, you know you could always return to your old home with your friends. That house is completely secure. Well, mostly." I amend after thinking on it a moment.

"No, I don't want to talk to them right now." Claire says sitting down in a nearby chair.

"You will have to face them sometime." I say gently.

"I know, just not right now. And I'm not staying here Myrnin. I'm going back to my dorm." And with that, she gets up to leave. No, I couldn't lose her again. I rush in front of her taking advantage of my enhanced speed. She gives a little gasp of shock before glaring at me.

"Get out of the way Myrnin!" She says through gritted teeth.

"No." I say simply before I grab her shoulders and swoop down, making my lips meet hers. She resists at first, attempting to shove me away. I chuckle in my head silently to myself. She just never gave up, did she? But, after a minute, I feel her melt into my arms as she kisses me back.

God, I never thought I'd be able to do this again. It had already been much too good to be true when she had let me kiss her the first time . When she had actually reciprocated my feelings, I could hardly believe it. That's why I was not at all surprised when she began avoiding me, not answering her phone. I had known it couldn't possibly last. Not that it didn't hurt, it was as if she had torn my heart from chest and ripped it to shreds. But now, she was back and willing to be with me again. God, this must be a dream. My life was complete with her. My Claire, my little bird, she made me happy. Something I had not truly been in a very long time.

After an immeasurable amount of time, Claire pulls back, her face flushed. She still looks upset but she doesn't leave my arms. Remarkable.

"That wasn't fair and you know it!" She says weakly trying to sound mad.

"I know," I say with a shrug. "But it gave me what I wanted didn't it?" I ask raising an eyebrow at her.

"Yes," Claire says rolling her eyes and sighing. "I'll stay here. But you will sleep on the couch. Not even another surprise kiss attack could convince me differently on that."

"Of course," I say doing my best impression at looking innocent, which I rarely ever am. "You do not think that I will be a gentleman?"

"Oh I don't doubt that you'll be your definition of a gentleman." Claire mumbles, giving me another eye roll.

"Fair enough," I say grinning in a way that must look very wicked. "Now, I shall return to your dorm with you to fetch your things. Alright?"

"Fine. Let's go."

**Claire**

Myrnin had just left me tucked tightly under my own sheets from the dorm in his little cupboard of a room. I still couldn't believe that I was actually here. How had one kiss gotten me to do something so stupid? Oh yeah, because Myrnin literally had hundreds of years of kissing experience. So, not fair.

The room was full of strange, creepy looking shadows and I really wish he'd left the light on. It was really freaky, knowing that Shane was out there again, with only one thought in his mind, to kill me. It was still so hard to believe that it was the same person. It was like some horror movie where the crazy psycho had possessed the hero's body and was calling all the shots.

But at least I had Myrnin, I think smiling to myself. Myrnin who forgave me even after all had just put him through. How had I gotten so lucky? And on that happy note, I drift off to sleep.

**Claire**

"No, Shane! No! Please! Stop! No!" I shriek sitting up in bed, breathing heavily, cold all over. It had been the dream again, the dream where it started out nice, a normal night at the Glass house, back before Shane and Eve were vampires, everyone joking and eating dinner, Shane's famous chili. Then, it all went wrong, Shane would change, becoming cruel and cold, a vampire. He would slowly rip us apart one by one in front of the others, leaving me for last. It ended when he backed me into a corner, splattered with Michael and Eve's blood as he wrapped his hands around my throat, grinning maniacally, showing his bloodstained teeth as I screamed and pleaded for him to stop.

"Claire!" Myrnin says sounding worried as he zips into the room. "What happened? I heard you screaming, but I was working at the computer, I came as fast as I could."

"It was—I." I begin, stuttering, gulping back sobs, but the tears win, coming free in a torrent as I begin to sob.

"Shh, my little bird, shh," Myrnin says as he sits on the bed and wraps me into his strong arms, as I lean into him, trembling. "It was only a dream fy annwyl. Only a dream."

I know that it was only a dream. It was always just a dream. That wasn't the scary part; I was used to it by now. The scary part was that it could happen, any day. I was never going to be safe again.

"Myrnin," I say, after the tears have finally subsided and his shirt is thoroughly drenched with them. "Will you—will you stay with me until I fall asleep? Please?" His dark eyes widen marginally, before his face goes carefully blank.

"Of course Claire, I will sit right over there until you fall asleep. You have my word."

"No, could you-could you just hold me until I do? I don't want to be alone. Please Myrnin?"

"Are you certain?" He asks; face still holding no emotion, unreadable.

"Yes. "I say firmly, lying back down. After a minute hesitation, he lies beside me, my back to his front as he carefully wraps his arms around me. His face presses into my hair and he kisses the top of my head as my eyes close.

"Sleep well my little bird." Is the last thing I hear before I drift into a blissfully dreamless sleep.
