Claire's POV

"Claire."

I turned over and pulled the pillow over my head.

"Claire. Wake up."

I woke up my heart racing and breathing fast. It was just a dream relax. I think I had almost lost count with how many times I had dreamt of Amelie. I knew it was wrong I was with Shane and I loved him, I just had no idea where these feelings had come from.

Of course Amelie had no idea. She was with Oliver anyway and way too busy to deal with my personal problems.

I got out of bed and went into the bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face then went back into my bedroom and checked the clock. 5:00 AM. 5AM?! I lay down on the bed and covered my face with the pillow. When will I be able to sleep through the night without being woken up by these stupid dreams?

"Claire." I was confused, because I wasn't sleeping but then it clicked a little late. I sat up and threw the pillow to the side. Standing at the foot of my bed was none other than Amelie.

Looking as perfect as ever, I rubbed my eyes. I had to keep my cool, if I told her or anything I would just be embarrassing myself. "Amelie, it's 5 in the morning."

"Yet you are awake."

"I had a nightmare." More like a dream…

"Or Myrnin waking you at this time is rubbing off on you."

I looked down at the bed. She is so pretty… Well beautiful and I'm sure I've said it before but she only took it as a compliment. I'm really glad she couldn't read my mind. "What are you doing here?"

"You're needed at the Donation Centre. You have not donated in a week."

"Why are you telling me this? I thought you weren't a messenger… And not to mention the time."

"I'm not a messenger. Oliver is being a pain he won't come and I have Myrnin tasked with something else. You wouldn't trust anyone I sent so I came. I trust you won't keep me waiting." It wasn't a request, so I sighed and got up went to the wardrobe. Being the neat person I had been too tired to bother cleaning up the clothes and closing the doors. "I'll leave you to change."

"No, wait." I shut my mouth. What the hell was I saying? I needed to say something, giving the expectant look Amelie is giving me. "Your looking nice today."

"You will too, once you dress. Don't be long." And with that, Amelie left and closed the door. I leaned against the wall and let out a sigh of relief. I had to keep mouth shut. Amelie is smart and she will catch onto what I felt for her, even though I didn't want to feel it.

I pulled out a blue top, and navy blue jeans and went into the bathroom and had a quick shower. While I was in the shower, I ran the dream through my head. The details were always fuzzy, but Amelie was always in the dream and it always ended ended with her voice waking me up. I think I needed to watch a really scary movie; I wouldn't mind having a nightmare.

I sighed and turned off the shower. Stepping out and drying myself, I quickly got dressed and brushed my hair then quietly went downstairs. I stood outside the living room where Amelie was waiting. I stopped for a second.

To get someone out of my head, I had to stay away from them and stop thinking about them. But I couldn't stay away from Amelie she would take it the wrong way and I've learned she definitely isn't the person - vampire? - to say no to.

Sighing quietly, I turned to find Amelie right behind me. I almost screamed, but covered my mouth and backed away a few steps.

"Ready?" She asked.

"You almost gave me a heart attack." That was one thing I have always hated about vampires; their silent walking.

"You were waiting out here. Care to tell me why?"

"I was… Looking for something. It's fine I can live without it." I grabbed my coat off the banister and walked out.

Outside the sun is just coming up over the horizon.

"Your to make your own way there. I was coming here anyway." Amelie closed the door and got into her car. The driver got in and drove away.

I was relived. At least now I didn't have to be in close proximity to her. I already almost blurted out something to her what if I sort of attacked her in the car? Then I would need the ground to swallow me up.

I sighed and started walking to the Donation Centre. Hopefully I could get there and back before anyone woke up and noticed I was gone.
