Bullets through Butterfly Wings
Summary: When Myrnin brought Claire back, he brought Claire back as a vampire. But what happens when Magnus wants Claire to be the draug Queen and not Amelie? What will happen to Morganville when its only saviour is on the other side making sure it plunges into the darkness of the rain?
Claire POV
Amelie's office was grim as I took it in, in my new sights as a vampire. Myrnin had only hours ago brought me back from the confinements and cold grasp of death. The rain pelted down on the windows as lines of water made its way down creating strange pictures. I looked towards Amelie but I did not see her, no I only saw her shell that held no emotion within it. All that stood was a fragile girl who was lost in the mayhem of the Draug.
"Amelie, they have Michael and not to mention Oliver. Now I'm getting a band of vamps together or going in alone, what's it going to be" I turned to see Eve, her expression was one with determination but also one with sadness. Amelie snapped her head up giving Eve a square look with her emotionless eyes that was cold like ice. But this did not faze Eve and Amelie knew Eve wasn't going anywhere without Michael.
"Myrnin where are they being held" Amelie said but her heart was not in it, instead it felt distant instead of the usual ordering queen. Myrnin seemed to feel the same as he looked upon there fallen queen "There being held at the Morganville Civic Pool Founder" Amelie nodded standing up from her desk while grabbing a gun from beneath it. "Eve do we have any transportation left" Amelie asked loading her gun with silver pellets "Yes we do Amelie" Eve said in a strong voice. It was strange because Eve sounded more like Amelie then Amelie did. "Then let's go"
I was pulled from my seat by Myrnin, and then dragged to the door to follow the others. We walked down the halls in silence. No one had anything to say or cheer up in suck a dull moment. Morganville was falling and it was falling fast, faster than it ever had with Bishop. I looked to my right to see Shane, since I was brought back as one of the immortals he hadn't spoken a word. I looked at Shane are eyes met for a small second then looked away like he was disgusted in seeing my face. I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt but I guess that was one of the best things of being a vampire, you could turn off your emotions making you careless. No caring, No pain.
We made to the car park, the only car there was Eve's 1977 Cadillac Hearse. It looked like a modern version of a wasteland, no life just nothing. We all crammed in Eve's Hearse, I was placed in between Amelie and Myrnin. Eve turned on the engine that splatted and puffed its way to life. BOOM! "Eve drive now" Amelie screamed from beside me as the hearse launched into gear and sprang forward. Myrnin and Amelie were firing silver pellets out of the window; most times you would hear a small scream when they hit their target and see a small smile spread across their face.
Come to me Claire, come to me a soothing voice said into my ears. It felt somewhat strange and also familiar at the same time. Come my dear, come to me it said again giving a feeling of calmness throughout my body. All too soon we came to the town's only pool. The outside of the building looked old and ran down, with chipped paint and broken windows. We all made our way out taking caution with every step we made, looking around in every direction making sure there were no unwanted surprises.
The door squeaked as I opened it, the rusty handle crushing under my fingers. We made our way down the dim lighted hallway until we saw an Olympic size swimming pool with bodies hanging within it. I heard Eve give a muffled cry as she saw Michael, the same that Amelie gave when she saw Oliver. "Shane, your job is to free Magnus's hostages while the rest cover, do you understand" Shane nodded taking off towards to the pool. "Doesn't this seem too easy" Eve said saying something that everyone was thinking at the moment. We had been here for over five minutes and still it was deserted.
But I thought to soon as I saw black liquid cover the floor as bodies began to form in front of us. I heard shots and shout as I made my way to the pool hoping to help Shane out. The first body to come forth was Michael; Eve screamed running towards him and wrapping her arms around the emotionless vampire. "It's okay baby I've got you" she whispered making her way out of the infested building. Come to me my queen the voice said again and for some strange reason my body knew where to go. I walked to the other side of the pool furthest from the others. Even if they wanted to save they were too far away I realised trying desperately to stop my body.
A black liquid formed in front of me then took the look of a man, Magnus. He wrapped his arms around mesmerizing me with his blue eyes so I could not move. My Queen he whispered in my ear while nuzzling my neck "And now you will be mine" with that he gently moved my hair baring my pale neck to him and lightly kissed it before biting, sending a world of pain through my body.
Then my world went black.
