I hid behind the dustbin of a house as two people walked by. I don't know why I was hiding but I sensed there was something different about them. Once they passed I came from behind the dustbin.

I put up my hood and rounded the corner of the house bumping into someone. I looked up and wished I hadn't. His eyes were glowing green. I looked around and saw the other neighbours coming toward me, their eyes glowing too.

I dodged a grab for my arm and ran towards Founder's Square.

I had to get to Amelie.I had to tell her an invasion was happening. She had protected me and helped me more than once, she would help me now. Or I hoped she will.

There was no-one on the street and it was almost completely dark apart from the

treetlights dim glow.

As I reached Founder's Square, the guards were standing like statues, but when I got near them they didn't move but they let me pass. I saw something out of the corner of my eye, but I didn't think about it, I just had to get to Amelie.

Going through the doors, only a few vampires were around. They looked up at me with their glowing stare and all of them bared their fangs.

The vampire closest to me opened his hand to reveal what was changing everyone. A green alien with various tendrils extending from its main body. The vampire took a step towards me and I ran up the stairs and crashed through the door to Amelie's office where Amelie was sitting at her desk with Oliver behind her.

"I'm sorry for bursting in here, Amelie but you have to help me. Everyone's eyes are glowing and-"

"I know." Amelie said. "It's okay, there our new visitors."

"What-" But I already knew the second I looked at Oliver. He stared straight at me with the unearthly eyes and then Amelie looked up at me. "There's no need to worry, Claire. It doesn't hurt and once it's done you will have nothing to fear ever again."

"No, no! Can't you see what's happening? You can't!"

"Restrain her."

Hands appeared on my shoulders and forced me onto the desk. "There really is nothing to fear, Claire."

Amelie stood up and took something off Oliver. "Open wide."

Claire…

"No, please Amelie, don't do this!"

Claire.

But Amelie wasn't listening to me. She grabbed my jaw and-

"Claire!"

I gasped and bolted upright. I looked around and hyperventilated a bit, until I felt a hand on my arm. I spun around to see Myrnin looking concerned.

"Are you alright, my dear?"

"H-How did you get in?"

"You're window was open and it would have been too noisy to go through the door." You mean too normal. I thought. "You were having a bad dream?"

I finally got my breathing under control and looked at the time; 4:30am. "Yeah… They're called nightmares."

"I'm assuming it's something to do with Amelie?"

"How do you know?"

"You were shouting her name and saying stop and it's not you." Myrnin shrugged. "I had to cover your mouth or you would have woken up the others."

"What else was I saying?"

"The invasion's coming, but it was just a bad dream. Understandable being with Oliver."

"What?"

"Oliver's scary enough, he's sure to give you bad dreams."

"I work for you."

"I give you bad dreams?"

I sighed, there was no point in trying to explain and I was tired anyway. "Never mind. Myrnin are you going to see Amelie?"

"Not presently, why?"

"I want to talk to her."

"About your bad dream?"

"About… something else."

"Like what?"

I didn't want to tell him what exactly, but I will have to come with something. "Just something that I think is going to happen."

"Something like what?"

"Just tell her I want to talk to her, please?" I didn't want to I didn't want him to know too much, I wasn't sure about it myself.

"Fine. Have a good night and don't have anymore bad dreams."

I'll try to.

The alarm beeped and I groaned and turned it off. Opening my eyes I nearly a heart attack.

Amelie was standing right in front of me. "Good morning."

"Uh... Morning." Once I got over the shock of her appearing, that feeling came back. Something was off. Her hair was down which she almost never did, but the most striking and disturbing thing was her eyes; they were glowing green.

I scrambled away from her and pressed myself against the wall. "What are you doing here?"

Amelie walked towards me and stopped at the end of the bed. "I've come to show you something."

"Claire?"

I woke up, maybe a little faster than I did usually and rubbed my eyes. How is it possible to go back to sleep and have the same nightmare?

"Yeah?" I looked up at Michael.

"Amelie wants to see you."

"What for?"

Michael shrugged. "She wouldn't say except that you wanted to see her."

Last night started coming back to me. I was now wondering if this was such a good idea. Amelie didn't seem like the type of person or vampire to care if I had a nightmare. I got my clothes and went into the shower. After I finished, I brushed my teeth and got dressed then headed out.

Walking along the street, it was as normal as any day in Morganville can get. Everyone was out taking advantage of the sun and I saw students in Common Grounds. No green eyes anywhere.

Arriving at Founder's Square the guards let me past and I walked in through the doors.

"Claire Danvers?"

"Yeah?" I looked to Amelie's assistant. "The Founder will see you now."

I went up the stairs and knocked on the door, which opened after the first knock.

"Come in, Claire."

I walked in and the guards left the room and closed the door. Amelie was leaning against the front of her desk flicking through a folder.

"What did you want to talk about?"

"Well last night… I, uh…" Suddenly coming here didn't seem like such a good idea.

"I don't have all day."

"Um, well… Last night I had this dream-"

"You've come to tell me about a dream?"

"Well, I think it might be real."

"Why do you think that?" She looked up at me and I was quietly relieved to see her grey eyes.

"I had the same dream twice in one night. It felt very real and-"

"Why did you come here, Claire?" She sounded just a little bit annoyed. She probably is. She's busy and I am just wasting her time.

"I just thought I should tell you because I feel like something's going to happen."

"Unless you've suddenly became psychic, I doubt that. Now if you don't have anything to say that's worth my time, you can leave now." I nodded and left. Why did I even think it was a good idea to come here? As I reached the door, Amelie said, "Claire?"

"Yes, Ma'am?"

"Next time you have a bad dream, tell someone that cares."

"Yes, Ma'am." I closed the door and left.
