Chapter 15

Claire's POV:

I couldn't resist the urge. I needed too leave, I needed him. I couldn't help but feel the pull of energy. I needed too get away from here and be in his arms. But Myrnin has forbidden me. He doesn't want me too see Shane. I feel trapped in this lab, I just need air. Just too see him again. My body knows him, his lips are soft and warm and familiar. He feels like home. I need him. I jumped suddenly as I heard a knock on the bedroom door.

I rolled over and pretended too be asleep, I knew who it was. I tried too keep my eyes shut desperately trying too not blink. The door creaked as it opened. I was breathing deeply and slowly too make him think I was sleeping, I felt the bed sink as Myrnin lowered himself slowly onto uncreased sheets.

"Little Claire, I know your not a sleep and I know your angry, but we must converse sometime" he spoke sweetly. I carried on pretending too sleep, I was so angry with him. He doesn't control me.

"Please Claire, ju-just listen too what I have too say" I rolled over too look right into his eyes. He seemed upset, but I didn't care. Why should I?

"What so you can tell what else I am forbidden too do? You don't own me! I have my own life and I can't even remember it. Do you know what that feels like? Not knowing who you are?" I began too cry, I turned over too study the plainly painted wall that was in front of me. I felt Myrnins weight shift and I heard him get up from the bed.

"When your ready too talk too me, you know where I am" he said before he left and closed the door silently.

Myrnin's POV:

I didn't like forbidding Claire from seeing Shane. It was as much Amelie's idea as it was mine. He could tell her everything and it all would be too overwhelming for her. Keeping her from Shane was the best thing for her right now, the last thing she needed was too be reminded of what a horror this town is. Although lying too her wasn't the best thing either, but maybe her not knowing the truth is the best thing for now.

I hate this, I hate her not knowing who I am. She doesn't remember anything about me. I'm a bloodsucking parasite and she doesn't know. I am so afraid of hurting her and losing her trust. I didn't notice my present company as I was so lost in thought, it wasn't until Amelie was stood in front of me that I began to notice.

"Amelie. What brings you here" I said as I spread my hands gesturing to my lab.

"I came to speak too you" Obviously. I nodded for her too carry on. Amelie slowly sank down onto a wooden stool located just in front of a lab table not far from me.

"I was wondering if you considered any punishment for Shane? Or any kind of pain infliction?" The thought had definitely crossed my mind. I wanted too rip him into a million pieces, but little Claire would not be too happy.

"I want him too be punished. I want him too suffer, but I do not wish the boy dead. Only... hurt" I smiled at the thought of him begging for mercy.

"As you wish Myrnin. Remember protect the girl. À bientôt Myrnin" What a short visit. Amelie gathered her gracefulness in one sweep and left my lab in a silent rush. I was left with myself and my conscience, wondering if what I said was the right thing to do. Claire was not going to be happy about this, but what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her.

Claire's POV:

Laying in this bed was not going to get me anywhere, so I dragged myself out and took some of my fresh clothes out of my duffel bag and took myself off too the bathroom. Before I left the bathroom I began too open the door and I heard faint voices. I know it's rude too eavesdrop but it sounded important.

"-at brings you here" I heard Myrnin say quietly.

"I came to speak too you" Amelie. What was she doing here?

"I was wondering if you considered any punishment for Shane? Or any kind of pain infliction?" What the hell?

"I want him too be punished. I want him too suffer, but I do not wish the boy dead. Only... hurt" My mouth hung open with horror. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This man who was capable of such kindness could be so evil.

"As you wish Myrnin. Remember protect the girl. À bientôt Myrnin" As she left a gasp escaped my mouth. I regretted it as soon as Myrnin appeared in a rush in front of me. I jumped backwards into the bathroom door. My face blushed beet red as I remembered I was still in my towel, I had left my clothes in the bathroom resting on the windowsill.

"Claire," Myrnin hissed. "Eavesdropping is rude you know" he placed his hands either side of my head and looked me up and down. "You should get dressed Claire, standing like this in front of a man is... indecent" I gulped loudly and ran back into the bathroom silently.

When I opened the door I closed it quickly reaching for the lock with shaking hands. I leant against the door and collapsed into a crouch and cried silently into my palms.

About an hour had passed before I stopped feeling sorry for myself. I picked myself off of the floor and got dressed. I didn't want too bump into Myrnin again, so I chose too stay locked here in the bathroom. I couldn't stop thinking about Shane and that awful cell he was occupying. The way his hands caressed my body, the way his eyes looked into mine, the way his hair fell into loose strands around his lightly golden face. He is so beautiful. I began too feel a strange vibration, I opened my eyes when I heard him calling my name.

"Claire" I heard Shane say in a quiet whisper. I opened my eyes suddenly. I was looking straight at him. I shook my head and blinked, I must be hallucinating. This is impossible. My hand reached out for him, the whole wall was inked with his cell. I could see every detail as if I was there. I stood up and walked through this impossible picture.

My whole body shook, it was like walking through sheer ice. Vibrations loosened my body, I was in Shane's cell.

"Shane? Wh-what the hell?" He didn't answer me, he was just looking right into my eyes, he was moving closer and closer towards me. His hands caught my face his right hand found it's way too my waist and he pulled me into him. I was looking up into his eyes, I slowly rose on my tiptoes until my lips found his. My hands grabbed onto his t-shirt holding onto him tightly. I pulled him into me. The kiss was strong and sweet. The need for him grew stronger, he pushed me up against the wall as we were both gasping for breath. His hand grasped my thigh and I pulled my self up onto him intertwining my legs around his waist. Our lips left each others as we were both heaved for air.

I wanted more I pushed myself into him, he growled lightly in the back of his throat which made me gasp, his tongue found mine, he smoothly lowered me down onto the grubby cot.

"CLAIRE, OPEN THE DOOR OR I'LL COME IN" Me and Shane both jumped when we heard Myrnin shout. I looked at Shane startled.

"Shane I am going to have too go, I'm sorry" I said before jumping off of the cot. As I was about too go back through this portal? Shane grabbed my arm and pulled me into him placing a small kiss on my lips before letting me go. I ran back into the bathroom, and composed myself before opening the door too see Myrnin stood there impatiently.

"Sorry Myrnin I was lost in.. thought" I said trying my best too hide the happiness bubbling inside of me.

"Claire your a terrible liar" He was looking at me with such anger written on his face.

"What? I'm not lying!" I shouted as I followed him back into the lab.

"Yes you are! You went too see him didn't you?!" He turned around too look at me with such fury in his eyes.

"No" I looked towards the floor too avoid his eye contact.

Myrnins POV:

Why does she lie? I can smell him on her. How did she find out about the portal? I was so angry. I couldn't control my self.

"Stop lying!" Anger was shaking in my body. I ran up too her and pushed her against the wall, my eyes searched her body and then my lips touched hers. I kissed her deeply, as deep as humanly possible. I buried myself into her until she kissed back. She fell into my body consumed by my lips. I grabbed her waist and pushed her closer too me until there was no room between us. My lips moved from her mouth and I began to kiss her neck. I stopped just over her jugular vein, I inhaled deeply. The scent of her blood is heavenly, now more than ever I wanted too taste it, just a little. I kissed her neck slightly as my fangs descended I pierced them lightly into her neck teasingly, Claire moaned which made me growl. I sank my fangs in deep in her neck too taste the blood I craved so badly.

"Claire?" A girls weak voice whimpered. I turned around too see Michael and Eve in the doorway of my lab with horror illustrating their faces.
