Chapter 1

Claire's POV

Shit what had I done? I've ruined everything for Michael and Eve. I just wanted Oliver to go away and let me go away, and giving him the cure seemed like the only way. I wasn't thinking, it was the stupidest thing I had ever done, and I just wish I could go back in time and used a portal to get back home like any sane person. I had called Michael, Eve and Shane and told them about what I had done, I know Eve and Michael would say they understood, but deep down I knew they secretly resented me for it, even if they didn't want to.

Oliver has gone still since I had given him the cure. He hadn't moved an inch; I was too scared to see whether or not he had started breathing. Firstly because if he had a heartbeat, it would mean the cure had worked and secondly because if he wasn't... then I may have killed the dead vampire. I had dragged his body by his legs to the cover of some nearby trees, until I could figure out what to do. Notifying Amelie seemed like an obvious choice, but I wasn't too sure.

"Claire?" a voice whispered into the dark. A spot of light appeared against the bark of a nearby tree, the light reflecting off the leaves.

I froze, holding my breath trying to get control of my erratic breathing. But I relaxed once I saw Shane's face in the light of his flashlight.

"Oh Claire," he says seeing my tear stained face. I almost collapsed into his chest crying when he knelt down to embrace me.

"Shane what have I done?" I asked him between sobs. I think was staining his t-shirt, but at this point I was past caring.

"It's okay Claire, it'll all be okay," he whispered, holding me tighter, rocking me gently back and forth.

"Oh shit." A whisper spoke from behind where Shane and I were on the floor. I tore my face away from the warmth of Shane's shoulder and looked behind to face a shocked Michael and Eve.

"Is he dead...?" Eve asked staring at Oliver, gently nudging him with the foot of her big skull boot.

I gently unhooked myself from Shane's arms and stood up.

"I'm so sorry, it was meant for you... I just... he wouldn't leave me alone an-" I started blabbering after this point. Eve and Michael exchanged a look before Michael wrapped me in his cold embrace.

"It's okay Claire, it's not your fault," he murmured into my hair.

"Guys... I think we have a problem..." said Eve, her voice breaking sounding scared.

I turned around to see what Eve was talking about. She was staring at Oliver's body, which was now slightly twitching.

I held my breath as Oliver's eyes slowly began to open.

Sorry for the short chapter, but I promise the actual story will get better!

But thanks for reading and please review! :)
