This chapters a bit short. I don't own Morganville

Myrnins pov

Every second spent with my little bird was amazing. I still had to inform Amelie that I had propossed to my love. Not that she could stop us or would but as founder she had to be notified of such things. If it weren't for that I would marry her right now. Though I suppose she would want her friends and... family. Uh oh ... I knew her mom liked me but I wasn't sure about her father... I used to laugh that her dad seemed to strongly dislike the Shame boy... but now would he turn his hate on me.

Would he accuse me of taking his little girl from him as most father's feel at the thought of their daughters marrying? When they found out Claire was both a vampire and had gone blind would they blame me? I shook the thoughts off. It didn't matter.

They could hate me. Hell I spent most of my life hating me. I couldn't blame them I'd never be truly good enough for Claire... but I was a selfish creature and she was the one thing I wouldn't give up. I pulled out my mobile device and dialed Amelie's number.

Claire was in the room so she wouldn't hear unless she was listening on purpose.
"What is it?" I snapped out of it at Amelie's words. Someone wasn't in a good mood.

Maybe I shouldn't bring it up now. "What's going on?" I asked instead. I was worried as usually she at least attempted to pretend to be in control of herself.

"None of your concern!" She hissed. "Ok... so nothing is wrong in town?" I guessed because if it was she would have been calling me not snapping it wasn't my concern.

I heared her sigh. "If all you plan to do is ask pointless questions I bid you good day." She said coldly before the line clicked. Good thing I had held my tongue.

The founder could be spiteful at times. Even if she as Amelie had her soft moments. As the founder she could be cruel just because she felt the whim to be. I went back into the room. Claire was already on the bed.

My gaze roamed over her. She wore an innocent expression but the upward twitch of her mouth gave it away. She had purposefully put on a very sexy red number. Her hair was lose and fell in loose waves around her beautiful face.

I watched as she leaned forward giving me a very nice view. I could see she knew her act was working and she had to fight that twitch of the lip again. I knew my want showed on my face and in my body language. I took a step forward having to swallow hard as she bit her lip.

Something that was extremely sexy. I couldn't help it I pounced. Lately she had been growing more and more confident and I had to say I was enjoying every second of it.

We laid there talking about nothing and everything. For a bit before she dosed off. I wasn't ready to sleep just yet though. The more I thought about Amelie's tone earlier the more curious I became.

I kept pondering the possibilities of what it could possibly be. Then again it could be anything. I scratched my head. For being such a genius it was very annoying not being able to decipher such a simple puzzle.

I was trying not to fidget for my little bird was resting on my chest. I smirked, much needed rest. In my mind I was putting theories together. It all flew out the window when I felt Claire stir. She didn't awaken but it brought me back to the now.

So for the first time in hundreds of years I decided not knowing was ok. I didn't need to crack such a useless puzzle when I could be focusing completely on my love. So I closed my eyes and allowed my mind to shut off that part that was obsessed with solving every mystery. Once it was off everything was focused on the girl in my arms. I drifted off having the best sleep I've ever had.

I woke up to the sound of Claire singing in the shower. "You put your arms around me and I'm home." To me she had a beautiful voice. I snuck up to the door.

She was to distracted to be watching so I snuck in. Undressing when she said that line again I wrapped my arms around her. She let out a squeak. I chuckled at how adorable it was. I liked how she would squeak when surprised so sometimes I let Bob out of his tank on purpose.

Yes I know evil but every reaction she gives is one I treasure. Once we were out I asked her what she wanted to do today. I rattled off suggestions. Today was are actual last day.

Since tomorrow would be spent partly in the room till night then we had a flight to catch. I should have planned something but I wanted her to get a chance to decide. She stopped me when I said we could go for a boat ride. There was a man made lake where they had little boats that you paddle.

The lake was decorated with lights that changed colors. She seemed excited. Before we rented the boat we stopped for snacks. Then I helped her in.

She almost fell as the boat wobbled. Once in I did most of the paddling. I wanted her to relax and absorb the experience. It would be one of many we had forever.

Perhaps for our honey moon I could take her to Italy. I think she would like the sites. I could picture her taking it all in. I would ask her where she wanted to go when we plan for the wedding.

I smiled she would be the most beautiful bride ever. I leaned forward and kissed her. She smiled against my lips. I loved knowing I was the cause of her happiness.

When the time was up we went to eat. After that we walked hand and hand through the field of wild flowers. I could see she was growing a bit sad by the idea of leaving tomorrow. "We will come again." I said.

She smiled at the prospect of visiting again. "Claire we have infinite possibilities." I said softly. She seemed to be imagining it.

"You have to stay with me forever ok?" She asked. I was surprised she would even think I'd ever leave her. "I will never leave you my love. Your my forever Claire." I said pulling her against me and kissing the top of her head.

When we got back into the hotel she suddenly put music on her phone. "Dance with me." She commanded already pulling me into a slow dance. I held her close and we swayed.

I was sure I was the luckiest being on earth in that moment.

When the plane landed the sun was out. We pulled our coats and hats on. Even then I knew it had to be a bit uncomfortable for her. Luckily a car was waiting for us close by.

I made her get in first. I put the bags back in the trunk despite the drivers offer to do so. I told him to go to the lab. We could go through the portal there to the Glass house but first I wanted to make sure Amelie had kept her promise in hiring someone to feed Bob while we were gone.

I smiled as I saw she had indeed. Bob was in the middle of eating right at that moment. Claire imediatly seemed happy to be inside. "Myrnin I'm going to go home. I'll call you when you can come over." I didn't want her to go but knew she ment she was going to tell them first then give me the clear when they calmed down.

I kissed her before she left. I decided then it was the perfect time for me to speak to Amelie. I knew where Amelie was so I went straight for her house. I busted through the doors yelling ,"honey I'm home home!" Only seconds later I saw something that would haunt me forever.

I let out a girlish scream covering my eyes. I was far to innocent to see that. I wouldn't want even my worse enemy to have had to witness that. "Get out!" She hissed.

I gladly complied running as far away as I could. I couldn't believe I had witnessed a site so horrible I was debating scratching my own eyes out. I shook my head even going as far as banging it against the nearest thing which happened to be a brick wall. It was just as I felt my own blood pour down my face that my phone rang.

I answered incoherantly. "Myrnin what's wrong?" I heared my little bird ask. I forgot everything but my beautiful bird.

"Myrnin you can come over now." She said sounding worried. I spit some of the blood out. "Yeah ill be there in a moment love." I said.

When she hung up I darted to the lab to clean up. However Amelie came in via portal while I was cleaning the blood off. "I trust you had a actual reason for rudely barging in earlier." She said.

She sounded less angry. I cringed having to recall earlier. "... yes... I was coming to inform you of happy news..." I had to pause to bang my head against the wall due to the image popping back into my head. "Fool quit damaging the wall! It cost money to fix!" She yelled.

I stopped and was already wiping the blood off again. "And this happy news?" She said after clearing her throat. She clearly was also uncomfortable knowing I had witnessed a nightmare.

I became happy again remembering the news. "Amelie... I asked Claire to marry me." I said excitedly. I watched her take in what I said.

I saw the twitch of her lips but she tried to hide it. "And... judging by your words she said yes." She said trying to hide her excitement I nodded. "I told you the girl felt for you!" She said sounding oddly like a young school girl.

"Yes yes you did." I was smiling like the mad man I was. She couldn't stop her smile now. "I'm happy. I can see the happiness she brings you... take good care of her Myrnin."

"I'll send you the letter of approval by next week. I suppose you haven't discussed a day yet?" She asked. I told her not yet.

"Well ill let you go to her... oh and Myrnin not a word about what you saw..." She said awkwardly. "No need to worry there." I said she gave me a warning look and then left. I finished cleaning up.

Of course I wouldn't curse any one with the images I had seen. I shivered and resisted the urge to bang my head against something. I needed to get to Claire. She would be able to erase the image of Oliver and Amelie...I couldn't even finish that thought. I cringed.

When I stepped through the portal Claire was waiting. She relaxed when she saw I seemed fine. Micheal and Shame were trying to look intimidating but I ignored them. Shreve was excitedly congratulating me. I thanked her with equal excitement.

Micheal cleared his throat. I suppose I would let them yap for a bit. " have a seat." Micheal gestured to the couch.

I did I would have to fight the urge to laugh. So I put my best serious face on. This seemed to catch both Micheal and Shame off guard. No doubt they expected me to act up.

I wanted to but decided it would be faster this way. Micheal composed himself first. "So you plan to marry Claire?" He said as if he had a say in it.

"Yes Mr, Glass" I tried to stop the sarcasm but couldnt help it. He didn't let him phase him. "Don't you think it's a bit soon...?" He asked.

I sighed knowing where he was going. "Look I appreciate how you all look after Claire. I love Claire, I have since I met her. Even if back then I wasn't in the right mind to understand my feelings. "

"She means everything to me. Believe me I don't take marriage lightly. It's why I has never asked another girl in my whole life vampire and human. Claire is the one."

"I respect you all believe it or not... even you Shane despite me not liking you I respect you for all you have done for Claire. And you to Eve and you Micheal. I want you to all know I will love and take care of Claire beyond forever." I said I ignored Shreve and Shames shock at me using their names.

Of course I knew their names. I mean I am a genius. I just prefer to call them by Shreve and Shame it's funny how they react. Eve I already knew excepted Claire and I I knew Shane just wanted her happy. Micheal... well I'm not sure what he felt.

"I can't stop it even if I wanted to but you hurt her and your dead." Shame said. I nodded. " You take care of her... and you have to bring her around at least two times a week got it." Micheal said trying to sound stern.

I nodded. Claire had been quietly watching me. "We have to talk to Amelie right?" She finally spoke. I shook my head confusing her.

"I already did it. She was actually very happy." I said. Everyone's eyes widened. Claire smiled warmly.

"Ok count Crackula you have to stay for dinner." Shreve said. I nodded. "I can't wait to see Mir later." Claire said looking around not that she or anyone would be able to see the ghost girl till sundown.

Though there was a breeze so I knew she was letting everyone know she was there. I still owed the girl. I had helped the boy Jason out but still. I owed both.

Claire pulled me up to her room. "Myrnin remember how you asked me to move in before the wedding?" She whispered. I nodded, of course I remember.

I've been waiting for the answer. "I decided." She said I urged her on. "I will but I want at least to wait a few days... and I'll be living with you but once in a while I may come stay here to visit." She whispered.

I was happy I picked her up kissing her. "Good I'll get the house ready in the days I have before you move in." I said already knowing the mostly unused house would need a good cleaning. She smiled.

Surprisingly dinner with them was pleasant. Though occasionally the boys would try to slip an insult in. Claire, Shreve, and Mir would shut them up. The little thing seemed much happier then she had in her living days. She looked healthier to.

She congratulated us but I could see she was sad that Claire would be leaving. Claire assured her she would be over alot. It was clear to any one they all were like a family. I wouldn't dare keep her from them.

She needed them just as much as she needed me. It would be hard to be apart from her for these few days to come... but it would be worth it. I was now saying good bye. "I love you" Claire said before kissing me.

"And I you my little bird sweetest dreams." I said kissing her once more. It seemed hard for us both to part. Even if it was just for a few days. I knew I wouldn't be sleeping not without her in my arms.

It's a good thing I wasn't human. I finally let her go she seemed reluctant but did as well. I left quickly before I could change my mind. I didn't go to the lab instead I went to the house I hadn't really used.

I had alot of stuff here. I started sorting through the stuff I once deemed treasure. Now it all dulled compared to my true treasure. I put the books away.

I finally hung the many paintings I had left sitting around all these years. I would probably have to get new equipment. I would have to ask Amelie what was needed in a house. I was far behind... sure I had basically sofas, beds, tables... but what else.

I suppose those machines that wash clothes... I had been washing mine the old fashion way all these years. I would need to make sure she had everything she wanted and needed to feel comfortable. I suppose it would be easier to hire someone to clean. I would tomorrow for now I had to finish putting the many boxes of things away.

I would get side tracked every once in a while. I would see a object and the memories behind them would pop up. Some good some bad. A chest caught my eye.

I couldn't remember what was inside so I opened it. My eyes widening. I slowly went through the objects. However I quickly slammed it shut.

I would lock it in the attic never to be seen again. I admit I felt a pang of sadness as I carried the chest filled with Ada's belongings up to the attic. I found the farthest corner I could and put it there covering it with a sheet. I had loved Ada... still had up until she herself made me realize my love for Claire.

I loved Claire more than I had anyone... but I did have guilt I would always carry. I had destroyed Ada who was my lover. Worse I destroyed her more than once. Had I let her go back then perhaps it would have been better... then again if I had Claire may have ended up being the one trapped in a computer... so as twisted and evil as it was I was glad it was Ada... that probably was the true reason I was a monster.

I would gladly do it all over because I knew every little event is what led to now. I shook away all thoughts and got back to work. I found a few things I decided Claire would like so I kept those things together deciding I'd give her them when she moved in. I stopped to take a break.

I looked around damn... I still had alot. Well that's what I get I suppose for not putting it away when I fist got to Morganville. I went to the bedroom staring at the big bed. It had black Satin sheets and matching pillows and blankets. I studied the bed.

"I'll get new ones." I decided stripping the bed of the never used items. I tried to think of a color Claire may like. Only then my thoughts drifted to how sexy she looked in that red number... I decided red was a good color. I tried to keep focused. I already missed her.

Claires pov

I couldn't sleep. I tried but I missed being in his arms. How the hell did I think I could last a few days apart from him. I was becoming super clingy.

I needed to put myself in check. I sighed for the millionth time. I heared a knock at my door. I checked the time. It was 2:00 a.m already. I slid out of bed wrapping my robe around myself.

I opened the door to find Shane. "Hey" He said shuffling his feet. I opened the door signalling for him to enter. He did. I sat on the bed he seemed as if he was unsure of what he was doing.

"Claire... I need to get this off my chest." He said sounding sad. "I... your happy right?" He asked.

I nodded hating the small bit of sadness in his eyes. "Good. That's good. Look I have something I bought before all this happened... I want you to have it... I need you to take it off my hands so I can finally move on. Knowing that we said everything and got it all out properly." He said.

I would do whatever so long as it made it easier on him. I nodded for him to continue but I wouldn't speak not till I was sure he was done. He slowly pulled out a small box. My eyes widened already knowing what he said next would leave a pang of hurt in my heart.

I would take it though. I loved Myrnin completely but I knew the heartbreak I was about to feel even if it wasn't the same as a romantic heartbreak. No this was the heartbreak of hearing how hurt a friend is. He held the box out.

I took it. "Don't look till I'm gone... I wanted to marry you...I know it's to late now to say that and I'm selfish to be even pushing this on you. I can't help it I needed to let you know even if I know it would hurt you... I'm selfish but It's the only way for me to let go completely. I keep wondering what if you hadn't turned would you have said yes? "

"But I don't want to know because I already know eventually... you would have realized what I had noticed before. I knew ... I knew you loved him even before you did. That's why I was always such a jealous jerk when it came to him." He paused taking a deep breath.

" I will always remember that you were my first actual love. One day I'll look back on it and it won't hurt. I know I'm the one who let you go first... but it would have happened. It was clear to almost everyone that you and Myrnin were going to happen." He smiled a sad smile.

"With that I'll burden you one last time by saying this. I love you." He pressed a soft warm kiss to my cold forhead. With that he left.

Only when the door closed did I let the tears flow through me and the silent sobs rack through me. Though it ended a while back it felt finally done. Tonight I would remember everything and with that my first live would be completely over. I slowly opened the box.

Inside was a small silver ring. It had a little diamond cross in the middle. The band had smaller diamond around it. I pulled it out.

Ignoring the burn. Inside were words inscribed. "My love." It simply said I only dropped the ring when it got to much. I used the end of my robe to pick it up.

I wiped the blood off it and put it back in the box. I opened one of my drawers. I put the box at the back and shut it. My wounds were healing.

I would clean the blood up later. Instead I wiped my eyes and smiled. Now that this was done he could move on like I had. Now I finally found sleep dreaming about the man I loved. Myrnin.

I woke up feeling oddly good. I joined Micheal in the kitchen. He already had blood warmed for me. I thanked him already putting the bottle to my lips.

"So..." I said. He put his news paper down. "So..?" He said as if it was a question. He stared into my white eyes.

I was thankful he looked without having to look away. I smiled. " I missed you we all did." He finally said. "I missed you all too." I said.

"Can you come with me somewhere?" He suddenly asked. "Sure where?" I said wanting to get out. "Surprise." He said smiling.

Surprise was an understatement I squealed. This was to perfect. "Oh oh she would so love that one!" I said pointing to a ring that practically had Eves name on it.

"Calm down" He chuckled. Examining the ring. He smiled the biggest smile I'd ever seen. "I can imagine this on her. See this is why I needed your help." He said softly.

He asked the store owner if he had a size 9. He did luckilly. Micheal smiled the whole way home. "Thanks Claire and remember keep it secret." He said.

"Duh! I can't wait." I said excitedly. I had to fight from acting different in front of Eve. I was so happy. She better say yes!

I was headed up stairs when I heared a knock. I opened it a crack so I wouldn't burn. "Who is it?" I asked.

" Claire ... it's me can I come in please." It was Monica. I opened it keeping behind the door. I shut it once she entered.

Monica had been changing. Nicer since the draug incedent. It came out that she hadn't actually set the fire that killed Shanes sister. She didn't know Shanes sister had died and had just bent there. Being the bitch she was back then she took credit so that people would know not to mess with her.

"Thanks " She said. I noticed she looked sick. " You ok?" I asked actually concerned.

She nodded. I told her to have a seat and I'd bring out drinks. I grabbed two cokes and some chips I poured in a bowl. She thanked me and smiled.

She was prettier now that she wasn't being queen bitch. "So what's up?" I asked curious. "Not much omg is that a engagement ring!" She said noticing it.

Somehow we ended up chatting. "You lucky bitch congrats." She said. I thanked her.

"Um Claire is Shane here...? It's kinda important." She finally said. "Yeah ill go get him." I said already bolting up the stairs.

Of course I was curious but something about her demeanor made it seem important. I banged on Shanes door. He opened it. "Shane, Monica is down stairs she said it's important." He looked confused for a second but went down stairs anyways.

I made an excuse to leave. "I'm going to Common Grounds." I said already opening a portal. Part of me wanted to stay and listen but I knew that would be wrong.

I was in Oliver's office. He looked up. "Claire" He said acknowledging me. He was alot nicer to me latelly.

"Hey" I said awkwardly. He raised an eyebrow. " I have a feeling you didn't come to chat so what did you come for?" He didn't say it coldly like he would have before.

" I need my mocha... it's been to long." I practically whined. It's true I really wanted it now that I thought of it. I saw the twitch of his lip.

He quickly hid his almost smile. "Eves out front go ahead." He said but he stopped me at the door. "And Claire congratulations though I think you could do better then that mad man still I wish you luck and happiness." I was surprised I turned actually smiling.

"Thanks." I said meaning it. He just went back to the papers he was doing but I saw his smile. I went out front Eve started making my mocha when she saw me.

I paid. "So what's up you look happy?" She asked. I couldn't help but smile knowing she was going to be proposed to.

"Nothing. Oh so ... I'm probably going to be moving in with Myrnin soon." I said wanting her to be the first to know. Her eyes widened. "Blah I just got you back" She pouted.

"Besides you really want to stay in the lab?" She asked I explained he had a house. I also told her I'd be over alot still. " I just... well we are getting married. So I figure now wouldn't hurt. " I said softly.

"I know. I just... you better visit alot Claire Bear and invite me over or ill... kidnap you!" She said with watery eyes. I hugged her. "I love you Eve. Don't tell the others yet ok I want to wait a bit but... I wanted you to know. Also will you be my brides maid?" I asked her.

She squealed. "Duh C.B." She suddenly paused. "I wonder if Micheal will ever ask me? I mean... we've been through a lot but... I can't help but hope." She almost whispered.

Shit! Not good I felt the need to spill. "I'm sure he will. I got to go love ya." I said already rushing to Oliver's office.

He raised a brow obviously hearing and knowing I knew something. I saw it click in his eyes. "Not a word." I said smiling though.

He shrugged but I knew he wouldnt spill. I went through the portal but not home yet. I wasn't sure if it was clear yet so instead I went to the lab. Myrnin wasn't couldn't exactly go to his house I had no clue where it was.

Instead I laid down on the couch closing my eyes. "Claire? How's my boy been?" Frank said materializing.

I was surprised he had been nice about everything actually. "He's good... I think." I said. He raised a brow.

"He seems good but right now he's having a private conversation with someone so I left... vampire hearing... I think it's a curse." I said softly. " What about being a vampire isn't a curse?" He asked.

I thought about it. "I'm... not sure." I finally said. "How's the border? Myrnin before he left said he made...Um adjustments?" I said remembering how he had implied that there was possibly more in this world then human and vampires and draug though the last one was extinct now.

"Yup apparently he wants to be careful. I tell you I had no clue so much existed." He said. "What exactly is there? I hope I never have to personally find out but I'd rather know now?" I asked.

"Well from the newest programming. Lycans, shape shifters, magic users... though those are just humans they just practice magic. Not the phony stuff but apparently their aura is different." My eyes widened , " lycans? Like werewolves? What's a Shape shifter?"

I tried to keep the panic out but failed. "Yeah like werewolves only they can change at will. Apparently werewolves only change during a full moon. Oh that's in the programming as well but... those only travel in packs and are rare."

"Lycans usually are lone or keep very few people around but they are rare also. Shape shifters..." He paused. "They can change into animals... but they are from native tribes. Usually it's either a wildcat or bear... but occasionally there are supposedly some that are from a crow decendent. He said those are the worse."

"They can turn into a crow but they can also isolate the change. So they can grow wings on a whim. Freaky if you ask me. Anyways no worries kid I won't let nothing pass without alerting the queen." He said.

I thanked him but I was still freaking out on the inside. " Well I think it's safe to go home." I said getting up. "I'll see you later Frank." I said.

"Yeah see ya kid." He faded. When I got back no one was home. I decided I'd take a nap.

However I found myself waking from a nightmare. Men with wings decending from the sky like fallen angels coming to destroy. I know it was just a dream but I was truly scared.
