Once they walked out I went to get my clothes from the closet. I couldn’t be bothered today so I grabbed a pair of jeans and a T-shirt then walked into the bathroom to have a shower. After my shower, I got changed and headed downstairs. I got to the living room and they were all sitting on the sofa talking. As soon as I walked in, they stopped talking and looked at me. I looked around but didn’t find Jason. I wonder where he is.
“Weird” I mumbled but I’m sure they heard me.
“Claire erm sit down next to Fayt”
“I would rather not” I moved next to Blake which didn’t seem to be bothered but Fayt was. I didn’t make eye contact with him and just sat down.
“Okay, Claire we will tell you. Erm Blake, I think that you should be the one telling it.
“No actually, I would rather not hear OR TELL THIS STORY AGAIN” He stormed out leaving us all shocked.
“Erm he is a bit touchy on this erm subject”
“I’ll say” I replied to Helen.
“Well, where to start... you see, vampires and werewolves never liked each other. We don’t know why, it just happened a long time ago so we don’t remember why”
“Huh, so I guess twilight was right”
Helen giggled and they carried on, “ you see we had a fight with them over a human like you, Claire. She lived here she was erm Blake’s girlfriend and well they didn’t like us having a human here. They thought we, you know, tortured her. We didn’t. Blake loved her. We all did but they captured her and we never saw her again. We think she might be dead. It happened 10 years ago and we haven’t seen her since so when they took her we had a war, no one got seriously hurt but we made a decision that no one would stand on each other’s territory”
“Huh so why are you all angry about my dream?”
“Well as supernaturals as you call us, we have one power which is the same. Projecting images in people’s head. In your case a dream to scare you, we think”
“So you’re saying werewolves are trying to scare me off. Why?”
“We don’t know”
“Great. Well at least I’m not confused anymore”
“Erm, yeah, it’s just that they’re not nice, Claire”
“I say they killed Blake’s girlfriend”
“Eve, that was her name. Blake became a player after that”
“Oh. Where is Ruby anyway?”
“Dumped”
“Oh, that’s a shame... I really liked her” I said sarcastically with a fake smile on my face.
“Claire you hated her,” Helen said.
“I know” I giggled and then stood up and realized it was only Helen and I in the room. Fayt must have left.
“I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping with me like we used to”
“Erm shopping... I don’t know. I mean I never really liked shopping”
“Okay never mind” I saw a tear go down Helen’s face.
“Fine. Fine stop fake crying I’ll go”
“YES! Okay I’ll go get changed” she walked out of the living room and went upstairs. Wow didn’t know a girl could get this excited over shopping.
I sat down on the sofa and turned the TV on. Fayt walked in and sat next to me waiting for me to talk first. Which was not going to happen.
“Claire?”
“What?”
“I’m sorry”
I sighed “You’re forgiven”
“What?”
“God, don’t sound so shocked. I can’t be mad at you forever can I? just don’t mention my dad to anyone”
“Okay Claire thanks”
I gave him a smile “Erm do you want to go shopping with me and Helen?”
“Sure” he grabbed hold of my hand and squeezed it.
“Claire, you ready?” I turned to see Helen standing near the doorway.
“Erm, yeah, I asked Fayt if he wanted to come with us and he agreed. Hope that’s okay?”
“Sure”
I saw Shane pop his head around the corner “shopping? Can I come? I need new clothes”
Helen seemed happier when he said that.
“Okay let’s go then”
We all started to head for the door when Jason stopped us.
“Where is Claire going?”
“Shopping. Why?” I asked.
“You need to go to bed. You’re ill” he was about to grab me but I moved out of the way.
“Sorry, I’m going shopping. I don’t want to stay in bed for the remainder of the time that I’ve got left to live”
“Claire you are not going shopping”
I was about to say something but Helen butted in.
“God if you’re so worried Jason just come with us”
He opened his mouth to say something but shut it and opened the door instead. He walked outside and we followed him. Guess we are all going shopping.
