Chapter 19

Shanes POV

I took one glimpse at Claire's still beautiful form, before turning away; my eyes heavy with emotion. Machines were beeping and nurses were running around trying to save her. Nothing will, she is gone. I stare at the floor trying to erase the last few hours. What I was seeing before me couldn't be real. It felt like a dream, I look towards her once again. She looked so peaceful and ethereal it broke my heart. I closed my eyes to push aside the tears that began to fall gracefully down my cheeks. There was no feeling inside of me, I cannot be strong anymore, I can't hold myself together, the only person who kept me that way was Claire, and now she's gone.

My body began to tremble not with sadness, loss or grief but with rage. My jaw tightened, my shoulders tensed sending ripples of resentment around my body. Every part of me was burning up, my heartbeat racing faster; my breathing becoming rapid every second that I am in this room. As I opened my eyes, a red haze replaced the dull grey of this hospital and the world in front of me. It clouded my every thought and decision I'd make. I was out for blood and I knew whose.

Eves POV

Sunlight beamed on her ivory skin, dust danced around her body. Her deep chocolate brown glassy eyes were open with so much love and affection; but there was no life to be found. Doctors were wondering helplessly around her body. I didn't need anyone to tell me. I know she is gone. She was gazing into the distance to where Shane was standing. All the emotion that was locked in her eyes, made me hiccup for air. My knees began to quiver, as I cried for her, for Shane, and for everyone. My body fell to the floor pressured by grief, I had lost her again. I was too late and she died. Died because I took too much time to look prim and perfect. But no matter how hard we try now, nothing will ever be the same.

I don't know how long I was crying on the floor for, but when I raised my head, Shane had gone. I looked around the room desperately trying to find him. He'd left. I made my way out the room to inspect the corridors. He was nowhere to be seen, if I didn't know him any better I would not know where he was.

Myrnins POV

"Why doesn't she love me?" I asked myself question after question. They are all rhetorical, I don't know the answers. I don't know anything anymore.

"Why can't I do anything right?" my hand swept over the books balanced perfectly on my antique desk. Claws replaced my fingernails, fangs shot into my mouth. I roared louder than ever before, rage ruling my body. My legs climbed the stairs of my lab in a blur, heading outside into the scorching sun. No step was timid. One step after another, slowly I was reaching the curtain of sunlight before me. My hand reached for the sun, I pulled my body through the sheet of toxic light, flames flickering on my skin. I screeched, the pain became too much. Gravity forced my body to the ground. Flames kissed my skin, blistering every bit of flesh I had. I cried for her, I cried for Claire. I need her.

A face appeared before mine. Beautiful chocolate brown eyes, gold dancing in her irises, shimmering in the bright light. Long brown hair bouncing in the wind, her lips as red as blood in a dress as pale and as delicate as a white rose.

"Myrnin" her beautiful voice sang to me. Just her calling my name took me to another place. I found myself smiling, dazed by her beauty. "Don't do this, you're not just hurting yourself, you are hurting me" her melodic voice sent chills down my spine. I began to raise from the floor. Her graceful form wondered angelically over to mine and grasped my hands within hers. "Please, I don't want you to die, you belong here in this world" her words impacted me in so many ways; I looked deeply into her eyes, lost by the love they held. "You can save me, and I know you will" I watched as her lips curl into a dazzling smile, my body lowered towards hers, as hers rose to mine. My hands left hers as they made their way to her waist, as hers found my luscious black locks. Suspense killed me, for I could not wait no longer. Our lips smashed together, quickly and softly. Our knees became weak the more we kissed. Lips moving perfectly together sending us both into euphoria. Heat rippled around me as her body pressed against mine, I grabbed tighter not wanting to let her go. I began moving my hands slowly up her sides, until one hand was behind her neck and one in the small of her back. She gasped and it became hotter as we got closer. A shrill sound suddenly echoed around me.

"CLAIRE!" I called out. I couldn't find her anymore. Hands reached out for her, I screeched again. I was out in the sun, I scrambled as fast as I could away from the dreadful light that licked my skin. I raced into the lab again, only slower this time. I tumbled the rest of the way down the stairs. I was so lost in the pain I didn't realise I had a visitor.

"Hello Myrnin" Shane. His words were dripping with venom. My gaze met his as I backed up towards the wall. "I came to thank you, thank you for killing everything you touch. Claire is dead you know? Did you know that? Shocking isn't it? That's what happens when you befriend a Vampire. You know she never listened to me when I told her to stay away from you. She never did, she always insisted that you would keep her safe. Safe, eh? Funny that, cause she is much safer being dead. Being away from you" his eyes were empty, staring deeply into my very soul. A smirk lined his face when my expression changed from disgust to anger. He got what he wanted. I leapt from the floor in one smooth motion, my body drifting smoothly across the lab until I was in front of him.

"Safe?" I growled. "She was never any safer with you. Who do you think looked after her while you were gone? Me. I picked up the pieces; I helped her regain her memory. Hell she even kissed me, I am sure that means she thought she was more than safe with me, don't you think?" I chuckled, I could hear his heartbeat increasing by the second spurring me on even more.
"If she hated me so much, why would she kiss me twice? As soon as she came back from "visiting" you, she kissed me. I can tell you one thing for sure, she enjoyed it" I smiled wickedly, before Shanes punch wiped it from my face. I grabbed him by the collar, and forced his body against the wall.
"I like the struggle Shane, you're enticing my hunger. Do you want to be another victim, just like little Claire?" Muscles tensed underneath my hands as he forced his body off the wall, sending me crashing to the floor.

"I don't need to be the next victim Myrnin. I'd much rather it be you" a figure darted across the room as Shane began to approach me. Whatever it was it moved to fast to be a human, I wasn't bothered who had stopped him. I need blood. A scent reached my nose, fresh blood, my gaze drifted towards Shane where Amelie was holding him in a head lock. Her nails pressing hard into his skin, blood dripping incessantly from the fresh cuts. I raced over to where he was being held, not being able to move.

"No!" Amelie shouted. "No you will not Myrnin. No more. No more killings" her voice as hard as stone.

"Amelie, you want him dead as much as me, why?" I pleaded.

"Because we need him. No matter how much we deny it, he has helped us a great deal. No more killings. We have lost Claire, enough is enough" her voice weakened as she reached the end of her sentence.

"Just do it, just kill me" Shane spoke. "There isn't anything here for me anymore" Amelie's thumb pressed into the side of his neck, his eyes began to droop as he dropped in a heap to the floor. She stepped over him while brushing lint off her clothes. I took a step back as she crossed the room towards me.

"Claire is dead. I gather that you know this, from the brawl you shared with Shane. Know this Myrnin, I warned you of what I would do, should you hurt Claire again, and you killed her. This was not a surprise to me, as you never behave well under controlled circumstances, but what you have done, is unforgivable. Not only is Claire dead, but Michael Glass my fledgling, grandson of my lost love Samuel is also. That Myrnin hurts me in ways one could not imagine" she let out a slow breath before appearing only mere foot away from me.

"I do not forgive you for what you have done, but this does not call for dramatics when something can be done. Now tell me how you can save them" Power laced her words, and I responded how I do best. I bowed theatrically.
