Chapter 5

Myrnins POV

Oh goodness. Monica Morrell? Such a fowl excuse for a human being, asking me to the Ball? Why she asked me I haven't a clue. Devious, manipulative, heinous girl. I was scanning a book while imagining this foul exchange of conversation Claire must have had with Monica. I heard footsteps approaching the shack above my 'lair' as Claire calls it. I heard the shack opening and a heartbeat approaching me, I didn't need to turn around to know who it was. It was little Claire.

"Um, Hi Myrnin" She said, in a little voice unaware and wondering what my mood was. I span around on the stool I was occupying to give her a reassuring smile, to assure her there was no danger. She carried on walking down the stairs with such grace, I hid my face behind my book so she wouldn't catch the uncontrollable smile that was lighting up my face. Claire placed her rucksack beside the bottom of the stairs before approaching the couch. She sat down lightly and sighed.

"So Myrnin, what we gonna be doing today?" She didn't seem very buoyant as she usually does, she was normally cheerful when she came to the lab, which led me to question why.

"Little Claire, what is the matter? You don't seem very chirpy today" I said fluttering my hands in the air and pulling a strange face to hopefully make her smile, it didn't work to my surprise, my unexpected humorous actions normally make her laugh, but not today.

I placed my uninteresting book about astronomy down on the lab table, and got off the stool and moved smoothly across the lab to sit by Claire's side. She flinched at my sudden appearance. I touched her on the shoulder slightly.

"Tell me Claire what is the matter? I don't like seeing you so... blue" I moved closer, to let her know she can confide in me. I want to be there for her, and I want her to know that.

"I um. I told Monica you will go with her too the ball. Look- I- I know you won't be happy about it, but going with her you won't be alone, and I don't want any more trouble with her". Claire explained looking into my eyes, she kept shifting uncomfortably knowing how much I detest Miss Morrell. But I didn't let my face reciprocate the feeling of disgust I was feeling inside.

"Little Claire, you did what you thought best. Not that I can assure I will keep my blood sucking tendencies on lock down, but I shall do my best" I said this knowing I would rather suck a rat dry, but warm human blood running through my veins even if it was Monica's I knew it would satisfy my hunger and the monster beneath me rattled it's chains threatening to surface. I closed my eyes to drive the hunger away. Claire turned towards me.

"Myrnin? Myrnin are you okay?" I heard her voice change to a concerning tone. I opened my eyes, to reveal the crimson irises that arose. She stood knowing the predator inside of me had broken free of the chains. I heard Claire's heart beat faster revealing her fear that she was trying to conceal by regaining her posture in a confident stance. I was approaching her smoothly across the lab almost teasing her, knowing I could attack at any moment. She continued to keep a confident stance, but ruining it by her increasing heartbeat and quick short breaths. As I got closer, I could almost taste her warm blood in my mouth, as I was thinking about it she closed her eyes. I came closer towards her face, breathing in her scent, as I licked my lips my sharp fangs descended.

"Myr- Myrnin stop" She whispered short of breath. "Myrnin please" she whimpered, regretting it suddenly as I caught on her fear. I placed my hands lightly on Claire's shoulders, I turned her around swiftly until she was placed against my chest, I grabbed her hair and pulled her head to the side, and kissed her on the neck, I licked the skin above her jugular, just as my fangs touched her neck I realised what I was doing and pulled away fast, my fangs ascending and I closed my eyes until the crimson from my irises faded into a deep brown. I opened my eyes to see Claire scuttled in a corner completely terrified. It was my fault.

"Claire I- I, Im sorry" I couldn't believe what I had done. I closed my eyes again, facing regret. When I opened them again, Claire was looking at me concerned.

"Myrnin, it- it's okay, your hungry" she said and followed on with a weak smile. I crouched down next to her in the corner of my lab, and helped her to her feet. I led her to the couch, and she sat down lightly.

"Claire, please forgive me I- I tried to cease the hunger within me but it wouldn't fade. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me" She was looking at the floor and fidgeting with her fingers trying to calm her nerves. I placed my hand under her chin and moved her face gently to face me. She took a small breath and blinked slowly.

"I forgive you" three simple words that made my heart flutter. She forgave me, god knows how many times. But she did again. She was oblivious to how that made me feel. I reached in slowly and placed my lips on hers, a sweet gentle kiss that made a blush rise in my cheeks. Her lips were warm and soft beneath mine sending shivers down my spine. She put her lips to mine returning sweetness, as my hand cupped her face bringing her closer to me I kissed her again with passion, my tongue slowly entered her mouth making her gasp, I leisurely smile against her lips.
