Thank you Freewhisker for your help. This chapter is way shorter and I took a lot out deciding that it wasn't time for certain things to happen. It is also a less chaotic and more of a filler chapter as the other version was way to chaotic and had to much going on at once. I do not own Morganville.

Claire's pov

Two days had passed since the nightmares began. Each time they seemed to get worse. I knew I was being childish... but I couldn't shake the fear for some reason. The timer went off pulling me out of my thoughts.

I grabbed the oven mits and removed the meatloaf from the oven. It was just going to be me, Shane, and Mir tonight. Lately everyone seemed off in the glass house. Shane was grumpier than usual. Mir was always day dreaming or running off to talk on the phone.

Micheal was busy trying to work up the courage to propose to Eve. Eve was busy dropping hints to Micheal about the same thing he was worried about. That's probably why I hadn't mentioned the nightmares to any one. Not to mention I had my own issues to deal with.

My parents were coming in Saturday. They were to meet me at Myrnins house and from there we would go out to a resturant. I had figured maybe telling them that not only was I a vampire but I was also getting married might go a bit better in public. That way they would hopefully keep a bit calmer.

I shook my thoughts away so I could finish dinner. When the mashed potatoes were done I called both Shane and Miranda down to eat. It was quiet as we all sat there lost in our own thoughts. Mir finished first and she quickly excused herself.

I decides maybe now was the time to finally tell Shane that next week I would be moving out. The others knew but with Shane being in a bad mood lately I hadn't been able to tell him yet. "Shane..." I started but choked when he looked up at me. He had dark circles around his eyes and seemed so distant.

"What?" He said a bit harshly when I hadn't said anything yet. I shook off his attitude."Well I have something... I need to tell you." I said softly.

It was like walking on eggshells around him lately. He didn't say anything he just waited for me to continue. I decided it was best to just say it and get it over with. "Next week I will be moving in with Myrnin." I didn't look up when I said it. It was quiet and he didn't speak for a minute.

"And you were going to tell me when? When you were already gone!" He yelled. I shook my head and finally looked up only to wish I hadn't as I was met with his glare. "Shane I've been wanting to tell you but lately you..." He cut me off.

"So what you plan to push it on me? Why not that seems to be what everyone's good at blaming Shane!" He slammed his fist down on the table. I flinched.

"Lately every time we talk it turns into an argument." I said trying to keep my tone even. "Whatever Claire you know what I'll be glad when you leave! Your not the only one who has shit to deal with but your just to damned selfish to care!" He yelled.

I was going to reply but he stormed off leaving me alone. I cleared the table trying hard not to cry. I knew he was going through something but every time I asked he got angry. Eve and Micheal chose that moment to come in.

I could tell by Eve's smile that Micheal had finally proposed. I told them congrats. I was really happy for them. Yet as I went to my room my smile fell.

How was I going to fix things with Shane? How was I supposed to tell my parents what happened? There was so much going on and it was driving me crazy. I changed and then laid down on my bed till sleep took me.

I awoke to another nightmare. In my dream there were crows surrounding the house. They where whispering "He's coming." Repeatedly.

Then they started flying at the window until one managed to break the glass. I ran trying to get away but they kept diving at me pecking me with their sharp beaks and scratching me with their claws. I woke up just as I saw a figure appear. Yet I couldn't make out who it was.

I looked at the time on my phone it was 3:00 A.M. I didn't want to try to sleep after that. It was Friday and tomorrow I would have to see my parents. So instead of focusing on the dream I tried to think of how I would tell my parents.

Nothing seemed to sound right and I knew nothing would change their reaction. There just was no easy way to do it.

When the clock hit 8 I went to shower and get ready. I was going to see Myrnin. Shane ignored me as I came into the kitchen. I still didn't have a plan to fix that but I decided it would have to wait.

I warmed up my blood, and was drinking it when Micheal came in. "Good morning Claire." He said as he warmed his own blood. "Morning Mikey." I said already rinsing my bottle out.

"Hey I want to talk to you for a second." He said before I could make my exit. I sunk down in a chair. He sat down opposite of me.

"Look... I know you have alot going on... with having to tell your parents and packing and planning... but I just wanted to let you know that when you move... we will keep your room as it is. So when you visit it will be here for you." He said softly. I hugged him.

It made me feel just a tiny bit better to know that they cared so much. I left after saying I'd be back later. I of course had to travel via portal as the sun was out. I focused on the portal imagining the lab.

When it showed up I stepped through. Myrnin was standing over Bob's cage cooing at the pet spider. He stopped though when he sensed me. He turned and strode over kissing my cheek.

"Hey little bird." He greeted. I threw my arms around him clinging to him. I felt everything I kept in over these past few days come out as I clung to him crying. He seemed so confused as he tried to comfort me. Finally when the sobs slowed I was able to speak.

I told him about my worries about my parents and about the dreams. He comforted me telling me everything would be alright that he was there for me. He told me that the dreams were just dreams and couldn't hurt me. He told me that no matter what happens with my parents he will be there beside me.

He said all the right things and suddenly I felt so much better having been able to get it off my chest. He kissed my forhead softly. I didn't want to go home so I went to get some clothes. Tomorrow I would have had to come over anyways so this was easier.

I quickly packed my clothes and grabbed my brush and tooth brush. I told Micheal I would be back Sunday to hang out with them.

That night I was relieved that there was no nightmares. Myrnin and I had fell asleep cuddling.
I tried to hide my anxiety over the fact that in just hours my parents would arrive. Myrnin once again reassured me it would all be ok. It was now afternoon. I was pacing in the kitchen when the door bell rang, I froze.
