Hi! So this idea came to me when I was in the most strange places that you don't need to know about. I don't think anyone has done this before, so I decided to do it :) It's long, I didn't mean it to be so long but I guess I like putting in some detail :)

I hope you like it and when you have read it please review and tell me if I should continue :)


Myrnin's Point Of View

I had finally done it. I had been perfecting my invention that makes the target incredibly drowsy. I thought this would be a good idea after the failure of Claire's machine. Not so much as a failure, as it had gotten into the wrong hands.

Anyway, checking over my machine one last time, I am satisfied it shall do its purpose. Now I just need a test subject to field test it. I had tested enough of my inventions on Oliver which had led to him telling Amelie on me, then having my science equipment taken away. I had got it back; of course I don't let anyone keep my sciences equipment.

I had been told time and time again that I am not allowed to experiments on Claire or any of her house mates. So that only left Amelie. She never said anything about testing on her, though she probably thought I would never do that.

Well I need a test subject and the invention will only make her a bit tired. Nothing could go wrong. I took my little invention which looked maybe a elongated bell and went to see Amelie.

When I got there her little servant, who I didn't like, because she wouldn't let me in.

"It's important."

"I don't care. The Founder's busy so you will have to wait." She said. I gave up trying to reason with her and went in myself. The woman protested but I hardly heard.

"What do you want?" Amelie said.

"Hello, my Lady. I have come to show you something and perhaps try it out." I said putting my invention on her desk.

She looked at it for a moment. "What is it?"

"I have made a device/machine that can make you drowsy. It can help in-"

"No thank you. After the trouble Claire's machine did, I think you should leave the inventing for a while." Amelie said.

"Can't I test it, though?"

"On who?" She asked.

"You." I said, cheerfully. Amelie didn't share the enthusiasm. In fact, it looked like she is getting very... angry...

"Excuse me?" She said, quietly. I cleared my throat and decided a re-phrase was in order.

"Well I needed to test it on someone. Inanimate objects don't get tired and I'm not allowed to test it on anyone in town. You forbade Oliver and Claire and her little friends. It will only make you a little tired then he could drink coffee or go to bed. It's really harmless."

"No. Now leave please I am with someone." She said. I looked around and found a small human behind me. Huh, I wondered where the heartbeat was coming from.

"Can I come around later?" I asked.

"No." Which I take as a yes. I really needed to test it out.

"Thank you so much. I promise it is very harmless." I said and left before she could say anything else.

Later

I waited behind a wall in the hallway of Founder's Square. When Amelie's little servant left I went to her desk and looked at the piece of paper. It had all the appointments and a few meetings she had planned for Amelie. There is a gap though, between 2:30 and 7:45 in the morning where I could come and see her. I smiled to myself and went back to my hiding spot.

Conveniently there is a clock on the wall opposite me and to the left. I settled down and waited for the hands to turn to 2:30. I kept myself busy by drawing new inventions I could think of and new ways to torment Oliver. I thought of how the clock might work.

But I quickly got bored. Soon enough though the clock struck 2:30 and I got up and stretched. Maybe I could have walked around a bit while I was waiting. I picked my machine up and went to Amelie's office walking in.

"Ah, Amelie now-"

"Myrnin."

"Yes my dear?"

"I said you can't come around later." She said.

"Yes but I really need to try this out. Please?" I asked.

"Try it out on an animal around here. I have things to do." She said.

"Please? You will only feel a bit tired. Pleaseeeee?" I had learned from Claire that persistence was key to getting what you want. Though clearly this was annoying Amelie.

"If you say Please like that once more-"

"Okay, can I use it on you then?" I asked. Maybe cutting her off hadn't been a good idea.

"No. Please leave." Amelie said.

"No, no look. You can-" Amelie took my machine from me.

"Guards, escort Myrnin out. And make sure he leaves." She said. I took my invention back and walked away. I heard her sighed and I stood outside.

"Outside." One of the pets said. I obeyed. When they went back to her room, I went back in and found they have left the door open. I fiddled with the buttons then when I was certain it was on and programmed I pointed it at Amelie and pressed the red button.

Then I hide behind the wall. Luckily she had sent her guards away so they wouldn't interfere with my field test. I looked back into the room after a bit and saw Amelie sleeping... or looking dead for a human with untrained eye. I smiled and walked up to her.

"Right. Now to wake her up..." I said. I pressed buttons and reversed the programming and pointed it at her and pressed the button then hid around the corner. She would definitely kill me if she saw me. After a little bit I looked around and saw Amelie still sleeping. "Hmm..." I went up to her and shook her slightly. "Amelie?" I was a little nervous, thinking she was playing or something. But no, she stayed unconscious.

"Oh dear..." I said to myself. I closed the door and went back pressing the buttons and checking the programming and pressed the button again. Nothing. "Amelie, dear wake up please." I pushed her hair away from her face. I sighed and scratched my neck. What do I do now?

I went to the door and looked out and down the hall making sure no-one was about. Then I picked up Amelie and ran to my lab where I lay her on my bed.

"Right so... Amelie won't wake up and she is needed for later this morning..." I said to myself sitting down in my chair. "I will just have to make a copy of her." Then I thought that was as near to impossible as I could get. The robot would have to have her exact likeness and it takes more skilled humans to build them. Plus I didn't have any resources here to even start making one. I stood and looked around the lab for anything that could give me an idea on what to do about this situation.

Then, I found it! Claire's "laptop" she had brought around me, when I can't remember. She was trying to modernize me but it wasn't working. I had never used it but I couldn't think of where else to go. The Interweb held all the information in the world, Claire had told me.

I turned it on and spent a good hour or so just figuring out how work it. Claire had teached me but as I said I couldn't remember. When I had finally grasped the working I went into the Interweb and pressed in "how to make a realistic robot that can replace a person temporarily". The Interweb didn't show much. Instead it showed stuff that wasn't in my question. So I re phrased it.

"A human that can make a real robot" Some promise and I pressed on the words that said about a human who did this. He had a number and I picked up the telephone which miraculously I hadn't broken yet and typed in the number and pressed call.

"Hello, Tim's Robots." A person said. I cleared my throat.

"Hello, I was wondering whether you can make a robot for me? She needs to look like the original and have all her thoughts." I said.

"Okay, what your name?"

"Myrnin."

"Last name?" The person said. I had forgotten it. You forget these things once you have lived for hundreds of years.

"Ummm... Collins." Using the boys name wouldn't hurt.

"Okay and where do you live?"

"In a lab. Don't worry though I will clean it up. She needs clean surroundings." I said.

"No no, which town or city do you live in?" The person asked.

"Morganville. Texas." I said and wondered how many questions he had left before he actually did some work.

"What's your address?" He asked.

"Umm... A lab. By the Day House just ask around." I said.

"Okay, I will make the parts then come to you for final assembly. Bye." And he hung up. Hmm... I had neglected to ask how long he would be. I couldn't have him take days, or months. The longer he took the more harder it will be to hide Amelie.

So I called him back and said he had until 7:45 to deliver the parts. Right now it is 3:15.

7 hours later

I looked at the clock for the countless time. Where was he? It was coming up to 10:23 and he still wasn't here. I had the quite difficult task of convincing Oliver, Claire and Amelie's pets I had no idea where she was. I had to cover the room in a different smell to stop the vampires from sniffing her out. This had to remain a secret.

"Hello?" A male voice asked. I perked up and ran to the entrance.

"Ah! Your here! Come, come!" I said, waving the average sized man with the Tim's Robot logo on his shirt.

"This is a nice lab." He said.

"Thank you. I said 7:45 and it is now," I checked the telephone. "10:30."

"Sorry I couldn't find you. You didn't really give me an address and it doesn't take 5 hours to collect all the pieces. What's the emergency anyway?"

"No reason. Well... my sleeping friend would like a robot and she is veryimpatient." I said.

"Okay well, making an entire robot would take some time, so I have achieved what the TV makers have done. We shall connect the robot to your friends thoughts and she will be like her. But of course with some minor problems. If there are any just let me now." The person said.

"Okay. So get to work and tell me when your done." I said, I really needed a drink and couldn't leave before as I needed to wait for the human and turn away Oliver and the others.

2 hours later.

I had returned and was reading one of the many books I had acquired over my life. Right now I was reading one of Emily Brontë books she had written.

That was 2 hours ago. Now it was almost 13:00. I was going to see what was taking him so long, when the human came out.

"All done. I just have to tell you, she will act like a robot when her head turns and all, but all movements are fluid." He said. I went in and saw the identical Amelie on a sheet on the floor. I had to admit, the human had done very well.

"That will be $520.75." The human said. After I had touched her and skin to make sure it was all lifelike I looked up at him.

"Excuse me?"

"$520.75." He said.

"Yes I know, why are you saying that?"

"Well.. you have to pay. It doesn't come cheap." The human said. Oh right... Claire had told me about this.

"Do you mind if I pay you later?"

"The prices are on the website and you didn't put in a credit or debit card number so I expect the money... in cash." The human said. Well... I was stuck. I had no money of any kind around the lab.

"Ah... Well..." I cleared my throat. Then I punched him and he fell to the floor unconscious. I hope I didn't hit him too hard... I would need him in case anything went wrong.

I crouched down on the floor and looked at the guy's laptop. It had readings and as I clicked through the options and setting I saw that the human had made the robot Amelie, human. I looked again and saw the human colour in her skin and she was warming up. Also whatever piece of robot the guy had put in her mimicked the beat of a heart.

So I did some editing, hoping not to mess it up too much. I lowered the body temperature to... Well I don't know how cold I am... I lowered until I saw her skin pale until she matched the real Amelie on the bed. Then I switched off the beating heart sound but decided to keep the simulated breathing.

Then I looked at the eye setting. This was where I was stuck. There was no option to change her eyes to red if she ever got angry. Hmmm... I think I will leave that. Amelie only gets mad when I irritate her.

On the Strength tab I pushed up the bar from normal weak, human strength to the top where she would maybe be able to lift a car or something.

On the Emotions tab I had a hard time deciding whether to turn it off. If I did then she would be more emotionless than she usually is and if she gets stuck alone with Oliver that could cause a problem. But I didn't want her displaying everything she was feeling. I saw the Stoic button and went outside to the bookshelf to see what that meant.

When I found nothing on the books, I went on the Interweb. I pressed in "what does stoic mean"

Then definition came up: a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining.

That sounded like Amelie. So I went back and pressed the Stoic button. Thats when I noticed there was no option for robot Amelie to show her vampire speed. I wondered what would happen of I tried to turn her...? Nothing since she was filled with robot... gadgets.

I sighed. I went on the Speed tab, which was about her walking speed, running, talking and other stuff. I set them to Normal hoping that it would be normal then I set running speed to high. Maybe it could mimic vampire speed.

I pressed on the Relationships tab and thought about whether to make her and Oliver together. I know they loved each other and didn't want robot Amelie to love him but it was to keep up appearances and typed in Oliver and what there relationship was like. It also required a picture... Hmm... Maybe she could find out when I switch her on.

The human had already set the Blink speed so I went into the Preferences tab. This was about what food and drink she liked. I set the food to... All kinds. And the drink to... Well that was to be expected. No Human Blood option. I looked around the screen and saw a button that said "Add Preference". I feel quite proud of myself for knowing how to do this. I must Claire sometime...

I cleared my throat and went back to the task at hand. I typed in Human Blood and pressed Accept. It didn't come up with human blood but instead lots of suggestions for human blood. One of them looked strange. It said Porphyria. I sighed and went back to the Interweb to ask it what it meant.

a rare hereditary disease in which there is abnormal metabolism of the blood pigment haemoglobin. Porphyrins are excreted in the urine, which becomes dark; other symptoms include mental disturbances and extreme sensitivity of the skin to light.

Well that would never work. I have never known a vampire to go to the toilet or have "mental disturbances" apart from the time everyone was infected with the Bishop disease. "Extreme sensitivity to light" wouldn't work. Amelie usually turned a pink ish colour when she is out of the sun and her skin would start to give off smoke then burst into flames. It happens to every vampire, the younger they are the more quickly it happens. So that wouldn't work.

I pressed the box and put in Human Blood again and accept but again it came up with suggestions. I pressed what I originally put in and it finally put it as a preference. I had to click around a bit before that happened though.

I pressed ACTIVATE at the bottom but before it did that it showed the list of changes I made. I read them over twice then triple, making sure I had left nothing out. Then I pressed ACTIVATE and waited.
