Short update but I hope you like it!
Shane's pov
She knows I'm still here, I can tell she knows and believes. My eyelids are still so heavy, I have to open them… I just have to. My muscles feel alive, not tired and heavy like before; I can hear them all so clearly- they aren't whispers; they aren't the whispers I once heard they, are shouts of desperation and fear. I can hear their every word and heart beat, I can sense their fear, hope and longing; I know they are all losing hope in my survival… well not all of them. Claire still believes in me; she always has.
Since I first saw that bruised face on the doorstep of the Glass house, I knew she was a fighter just like me. We are from two completely different worlds; she grew up in a stable, loving family whilst I grew up the Morganville way; sister and mother dead, a father wanting revenge- pretty normal. Not. She brought me a life, a future that I never deserved; she loves me for who I am… she isn't like the dates I used to crave, she is beautiful, supportive and understands. She doesn't just like me for the image of the bad guy, she likes me for who I am underneath; I can cry around her and she doesn't think I'm weak, I can scream out all my wrongs and she doesn't regret loving me- I think that's true love.
That hurts. My body is being anchored in pain, the needles are being removed; Claire's shouting questions but getting no answer. Her grip on me is tightening, my heart's racing with her fear; she scared! What are they doing?
Shane wake up! My body won't listen but I'm going to listen; my eyes are sealed shut; I'm agonised in pain but still I force my eyes to open. The light is blinding, my mind screams for to shut my lids but I don't; I grit my teeth through the pain until shadows are formed. Claire is lying protectively over me, screaming and sobbing. I gently move my hand to caress her back, she freezes.
I turned my head… to see fangs.
'No' me and Claire both scream in unison…
Any ideas on what's going to happen next?
