Michael's pov
Shane is in real trouble now, this isn't just a gym; no it's a fight club… that broadcasts outside of Morganville! He could be killed for this; they film him fighting vamps, then charge people to watch the fights on the web.
To make it worse we only found out because poor Claire got a phone call, some girls were watching it and enjoying it; the main clue they gave us was that they watching it over and over again; Immortal Battles. Vassily, that's the vamp running this little club, charges $100 just to join, whilst then having betting offices to take even more cash. There are millions of views on Shane's bout alone, at $100 an account, Immortal Battles is making millions… that's until Amelie finds out.
Claire… poor innocent Claire; I need to get Shane back I really do. Shane is danger; he's fighting with Satan himself.
Claire's pov
Oh god. Shane is in trouble. He's fighting… with vampires; in a cage whilst being filmed.
He's going live in just two days; he's going to be killed in that ring. I have to stop him; I'm not going to let him die; even if he doesn't love me, he isn't about to die.
The video, he's faster, stronger than ever before; something is very, very wrong. Normally the vamps would win easily but, they weren't; Shane's kicks were just as fast and powerful; his movements were as strong and… please no; Shane.
Its blood, that's what those drinks are blood; not just any blood… its vampire blood! Like frank said it makes the user faster and stronger; that's all they need. They want a decent fight, not one that's over in seconds; so they feed the humans vampire blood, to get a fight but once the blood wears off the vampire wins…always; and most likely the human dies- like a pawn on a chess board.
This gym, this is illegal; and illegal means death in Morganville; Shane is not going to die… there has to be something.
