Chapter 10

Claire's POV:

As I was kissing Shane we was interrupted. Of course, as always. Myrnin.

"Claire, Shane" He nodded to each of us. I didn't want to talk to him, so I didn't reply.

"What?" Shane asked, he sounded really irritated. Not surprising really seeing as though we was with emphasis, a little busy.

"I was promised a dance with little Claire" he said looking towards me with kind eyes.

"No" It came out a lot quicker than I intended it too, it shocked both Myrnin and Shane.

"Why young Claire, I thought you never broke promises" He used one of his weapons. Puppy dog eyes.

"Fine, but one. Just one dance that's it" He smiled and grabbed my hand and lead me away from Shane, I turned slightly and gave Shane a small smile. I knew he wasn't happy about this. But Myrnin is right, I did promise him a dance, and I don't break promises. It is only fair. I did want to dance with him but I couldn't help feeling guilty about what had happened when I am in his company. I felt a bit angry too he did nearly bite me. When I smiled at Shane I could tell he was getting angry. I glanced over at him one last time to notice him watching us steadily. I placed my right hand in Myrnins left and my hand on his shoulder and he put his other hand on the middle of my back. I sighed. After this dance I will be back in Shane's arms and we can just get this night over with an try and have a good time.

When we were dancing we was looking into each others eyes. Something suddenly changed inside of me. I felt new, and different. Myrnins eyes were drawing me in, I felt comfortable around him. My body was feeling light and graceful as if I was floating. "I am sorry Claire" Myrnin's words were light and meaningful.

"What for?" I could hardly talk, I felt like something was taking over me and I didn't want to fight it. I felt safe and comfortable. I felt his hand gradually fall down to my waist his touch was soft. I quivered.

"For what happened between us, I should have said more the other day I-" Myrnin was cut off by Shane pushing Myrnin away from me with all his might. Everything suddenly snapped back into focus as if I had been dreaming. I felt hot and heavy I tried to move but my legs threatened to collapse.

"Shane! What are you doing?!" I shouted as loud as I could trying to be heard over the loud music. I knew he heard me when is facial expression changed from ferocious to concern.

"I am getting this creep off of you. Don't you see the way he looks at you Claire?" Shane shouted just so me and Myrnin could hear, but I knew some Vampires would be hearing every bit of this conversation and I wasn't looking forward to their judgement.

"Why Shane? Claire wasn't complaining" Myrnin replied. I was too shocked to make an input. What he had said was a big mistake. Myrnin knew just how to wind him up, and the smug smile soon disappeared when Shane's fist came into contact. Shane had definitely hit Myrnin hard because he stumbled. Myrnin wiped the blood off of his mouth also shocked by Shane's action. "Shane you never learn do you" he laughed.

"Nobody touches Claire like that, nobody but me" I was watching them both in shock, I couldn't find any words to say. I was just frozen in place.

"Who's to say she hasn't touched me?" Myrnin replied. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. This is getting worse. Why aren't I saying anything. Say something! Say something!

"Excuse me?"

"Have you ever thought that she prefers me to you?" Myrnin was clearly getting to him. Shane's fists were clenching so tight his knuckles were turning white. He was trying not to give in. I could almost feel the tension and enmity coming off in waves from his body.

"Well obviously not, seeing as though I am the one she comes home too. The one she kisses and loves" Shane was trying to hang on to his composure with a lot of effort, but it was slipping away more and more quickly.

"Who say's she hasn't kissed me?" Myrnin retorted. He didn't just say it, he shouted it. Everybody stopped moving and suddenly turned looking in our direction. I gasped. I hadn't realised I had stopped breathing until Oliver spoke.

"This. This is why I do not own a television" Oliver laughed. My face felt as if it was on fire, I could feel every ones eyes on me. I couldn't look up from the marble floor. I just stood there. I didn't say anything. After what seemed like forever I lifted my gaze from the floor too look into Shane's eyes. They held so much pain and hurt.

"Is it true?" He sounded completely and utterly broken. Hearing him talk like that made me feel sick. I'd done this too him. I've broken him. I couldn't find any words to say, my mouth opened but no words came out.

"IS IT?! IS IT TRUE?!" I flinched as Shane shouted at me, tears reached my eyes and began too fall slowly down my cheeks. I couldn't look at him. "It is isn't it" I heard him sniffle. Tears was in his eyes too.

"I'm sorry. God I- I'm so, so sorry" The tears was coming a lot faster now. It felt it was just me and Shane there and nobody else. I knew everyone was judging me, I could feel it. I dropped my gaze back to the floor.

"You two can never be together" Shane said, his voice didn't sound like his own. He moved so quickly I didn't register what was happening until I heard Myrnin scream in pain. I turned around to see him on his back, with a silver stake through his heart and Shane leaning over him. I put my hand over my mouth and raced to his side, to suddenly be pushed away by Oliver. I stumbled backwards into a Vampire, who growled at me. I backed away until I fell onto a table. I felt something splash on me, I looked down in horror to find I was covered in blood. Blood from the drink stand. This is my fault all mine, and now I am covered in blood with a room full of vampires. This gets better and better. Way to go Claire. Shane was being dragged away by two vampires one on each arm. No Vampire was interested in him any more, they're undivided attention was on me. I picked up the closest thing to me, a silver knife, I picked it up by the wrong end. That was clever. The knife slid against my palm cutting me deeply. Blood was dripping incessantly from my hand.

They were moving slowly towards me, picking up speed gradually. All their eyes were a deep crimson. It was the most terrifying thing I had ever seen and I needed to get out. They were closing in, trapping me. One vampire was running towards me, and another pushed it out of the way snarling. They were all starting to growl, and my hand wouldn't stop bleeding. I ripped part of my dress off to wrap it around my hand to try and slow my circulation. I couldn't think of a plan. Too many thoughts were running through my head and not one of them a survival tactic. I could only see the end. They all began to run towards me, all of them pushing each other out of the way to get too me. I began to run too my left where there was a fire exit. I didn't get there. Jason grabbed me.

"Oh I have been dying to get a taste of you" He said licking his lips. He looked savage and murderous. I knew I was going to die. Nobody would save me. Then to my surprise someone burst through the crowd of Vampires and grabbed be by the arm and threw me out of the fire exit. I put my arms out in front of me hoping to brace my self before I landed, but as my arms reached the floor I heard a snap, and I cried out in pain. The momentum from the throw sent me rolling against the floor at an unpleasant speed, grazing my arms and back. Then my head hit a brick wall with such a force. My thoughts disappeared and the world faded into a peaceful darkness.
