Hi again!
Thank you to 'Guest' who reviewed this story and gave me some great tips! :) Much appreciated!
Also, big thanks to maddiesanzen who favourited + followed :)
So, here we go...
Myrnin's POV
I watched closely as she took a breath and bolted upright. Surprisingly, it was me she looked at first, not that boy Shane!
'Thank you, Myrnin,' she spoke sincerely.
'You are most welcome, my dear,' I replied.
I was tempted to perform a bow, but with Shane here I settled for a small smile.
Shane looked outraged.
'Don't thank him!' he shouted, 'He said you've got a freaking hour!'
'Shane,' she sighed, 'You can't make my choices for me.'
'Wh-What, but... You're not-' he began, stuttering, probably about to shout again.
'Yes,' she cut him off, 'I'm not ready to die, Shane. But if you're ready to lose me... Maybe-'
'Stop! No! You're not becoming a, a bloodsucker! He's lying anyway! He wants you to himself, so he's making you turn! Claire, baby, if we wait the hour out you'll know he was lying to you,' Shane interrupted.
'You're being paranoid,' she stated.
'Boy, I assure you, I would like Claire to live a happy, full life. I would not choose this for her,' I tried to back Claire up, 'In fact, Amelie has been close to turning Claire on many occasion, but who do you think stopped her?'
I saw something in Claire's face change. I'm guessing she did not know. However, Shane didn't seem to believe me.
'DON'T LIE!' he screeched.
'Shane! Calm down, bro,' the young blonde vampire stepped forward and placed a hand on Shane's shoulder.
He shrugged it off and gave him (Mickey, I think) a filthy look. Anti-vampire blood, I guess. I shall have to run an experiment to test the theory.
But, I needed to focus on my little bird, first.
'Claire,' I motioned for her to come closer.
Shane glared coldly at both of us.
'What is your choice?'
Claire's POV
'What is your choice?'
I glanced at Shane. He just gave me an Amelie-worthy glare, so I looked back at Myrnin: it was easier. He was actually extremely handsome. I suppose I'd never noticed before.
'I think you know,' I whispered.
He nodded.
'I'd like to be turned.'
'NO! Don't do this to me Claire! Don't betray me!' Shane shouted.
'Betray you? That's ludicrous! Shane, if you'd rather me die, you can fuck off!'
I realised Eve had been extraordinarily quiet through all this. Her face was expressionless.
I guess I was on my own.
'Not quite' said a male voice.
What the Hell? Did nobody else notice?
'I'm in your head, my dear!' Myrnin said cheerfully. Of course it was Myrnin. Wait! He could read minds? Great. Just great. So no private thoughts for Claire then.
'I heard that!'
When my eyes went back to Myrnin, I saw he was smirking.
He could always make me smile; he was a great friend, really. Oh, did he hear that, too?
'Yes, I certainly did... And thank you.'
You're welcome, Myrnin. You are you know.
He smiled.
