I've been thinking of doing this for awhile now… and I hope it's good!

(Squirrels are SCARY)

Chapter One

It all freeze-framed for her: Myrnin, bloody and wide-eyed reaching out for her. Pennywell smirking from where he stood by the wreckage of the limo. Claire chocked gasped for breath and tore at the hand holding her throat closed. No good. Her fingernails didn't concern him any more than her heels when she kicked backwards.

"Hush," Oliver chided her, and squeezed harder. "I'd like to say this will hurt me more than you, but that wouldn't be strictly true know would it?" he gave a small laugh

Claire looked towards Myrnin who was running in her direction. Before he could get ten feet in front of her, Pennywell picked up the stake that was lying on the ground and shoved it into his chest. A look of panic crossed his features before he crumbled to the ground.

"Now, Now little Claire don't be frisky" Oliver said with a smirk on his face.

Instead of loosening his hold on Claire so she could speak, he doubled in pressure making her gasp for air. Although nothing would come in. Dark spots started to dance in front of her eyes.

"Your going to make her pass out. Give her some air." Pennywell stated dryly "you do want her to feel the pain. To get Amelie to come, don't you?"

"Of course you idiot." He said glaring at Pennywell , yet loosing his hold on her. She got a few quick gasps in before he applied the pressure, "Go keep watch to make sure no one comes to finds us"

Without answering Pennywell turned around and walked to the end of the street. Every couple of seconds he would turn his head and listen and see if anything was coming.

Claire kicked back at Oliver and scratched at his hand to let go of her throat. She should have listened to Shane when he suggested she should keep a stake with her where ever she went. Tears where brought to her eyes as she thought about Shane; probably waiting by Eve's car for her to come back. But she knew if things went as Oliver planned she would be coming back broken.

Oliver pushed her up against a wall pinning her by the throat. "Know, shall we begin?" he gave a small chuckle and a smirk played on his lips.

REVIEW PLEASE!! (sorry it was short)
