MyrninXClaire
Claire didn't see why she'd been dragged out of bed in the middle of the night just to speak to Amelie , the ice queen sure did pick her moments. It was made worse by the fact this was the one rare occasion where her parents had allowed her to stay at the Glass house, and as a result was staying in Shane's room.
"What's going on, exactly?" she wasn't really all that botherd at the late hour, but she figured it was her line.
" Oliver is planning to overthrow my rulership of Morganville, Claire." Amelie sounded as if this would be a shock to Claire, yeah; likely.
"Sort of had that one figured, so, sure."
"You're oliver's leverage, Claire. What do you think would have happened if Michael hadn't tested fate with Oliver, the limousine?"
"I remember."
Amelie spoke again; " If you are no longer mine, Claire, You are no longer leverage."
Was Claire hearing right? Amelie was releasing her of their contract? It sounded far too good to be true..
"So you will be mine." Myrnin Stepped from the shadows of Amelie's study.
Defiantly too good to be true. Way too good.
"Don't look so worried child, i will see to it you are put to good use." And true to form, there was myrnin's signature crazy grin. Not a disease anymore, just his natural lunacy. Claire felt a shiver down her spine.
"you will protect the child?" Amelie seemed genuinely curious.
"Always, and with my life." He paused to glance wistfully at Claire, she didn't have time to react. "i need her."
Claire assumed he was talking about his studies, and Ada, and well, all the things that came with her job. But she really couldn't help hearing the urgency in his otherwise cool tone, as much as she tried to ignore it.
"We all do." Amelie dismissed them, and Claire walked through the shiny, breezy air of the portal that led her back to the Glass House, and ultimately; Shane's warm arms.
