Claire's POV (point of view)

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. It's kinda loud since Eve likes to blast her music sometimes and Amelie didn't really pick a loud phone for me. I moaned and looked out the window. I hadn't shut the curtains properly when I went to bed and outside it is still dark. Who the hell could be phoning me this late? I thought.

I looked at the picture of vampire bunny slippers and decided to leave it. Whatever he needed it can wait till morning.

The morning.

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing again. The sun streamed through my window and heating up a nice little patch of carpet. I sighed and answered the phone.

"What you want?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Claire, why didn't you answer when I first called?" Myrnin asked.

"Because it was 2 in the morning! I think you forget I'm human and humans need their sleep." I said.

"You should always answer. Anyway I have made this machine and I want to test it out on you." He said.

"Whoa what? Test? What does it do?" I asked sitting up. Myrnin's tests on me previous times hadn't gone so well.

"It's a machine that switches people's bodies." Myrnin said.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I will explain when you get here. Oh and bring someone it needs two people." He said then hung up. I bit my lip nervous. After going through my head of people to bring, I decided Amelie would be good cos then she could probably stop Myrnin or something. I called up her number and rang her.

"Hello? What is it?" Amelie answered.

"Um… Hi. Um… Myrnin has made this machine and he wants to test it on me and but it needs two people for it to work so could you come with me?" I asked.

"No." She said.

"What? Please?" I asked trying not to sound like begging.

"No. Find someone else I am busy." Amelie said and hung up. I sighed. I just have to go and convince her in person then. I got dressed and left a text for Myrnin telling him I am getting Amelie. On second thoughts I don't think he knew about texts… Too modern.

I went through the portal into Amelie's office where she is signing papers. She looked up and looked less than happy to see me.

I went through the portal into Amelie's office where she is signing papers. She looked up and looked less than happy to see me.

"You're here to convince me to go to Myrnin's and take part in his test." She said. I nodded. "You're wasting your time."

"Please? No-one else will come with me." I said.

"I wonder why." She said.

"You're his friend aren't you? And it will only take a second nothing will happen." I said.

"Highly doubtful." She said.

"Amelie please." I said. She sighed.

"5 minutes." She said and handed the signed papers to her PA then got up and got up and got her phone then walked past me to the portal. It changed to Myrnin's lab and she stepped through. I followed.

"Myrnin what do you want?" She demanded… Kind of.

"I have made this machine and I want to test it." Myrnin said.

"And you need two people." She asked. Myrnin nodded. Amelie nodded.

"Hurry up." She said. Myrnin took Amelie's hand - which she didn't seem too thrilled about - and lead her in place then put me in place. "What will this do?" Amelie asked wiping her hand on a soft looking handkerchief.

"Nothing. Just some lights." Myrnin said. Amelie rolled her eyes. Myrnin turned on the machine and steam hissed and liquid bubbled then there was a flash and then black.

Some time later

I woke up and groaned. I think I hit my head. I shivered. Did Myrnin turn the heating down? I sleepily opened my eyes. The first thing I noticed is that my sight is much sharper and clearer. Oh god did Myrnin change me into a vampire?

I sat up with more… Smoothness. Grace.

"Um…" Whoa. My voice sounds just a little higher. "Myrnin?" I asked.

"Yes?" He asked coming from behind the machine.

"Get me a mirror please?" I asked. Myrnin nods and zips off and fetches one. I grabbed it and looked at it.

…

I made sure this mirror is genuine. I have flawless white skin paler vampire pale and blue eyes and white blond hair. Am I Amelie?

"Myrnin what the hell?" I asked.

"That's the test and it has worked!" He clapped.

I got up with surprising speed and grabbed his neck.

"What's happened?!" I demand.

"Oh right well the machine you see has put you in Amelie's body. You look very pretty if that makes any different." He said.

"Claire?" I heard a voice and turned around.

"Amelie?"

"What on Earth has happened?"

"Myrnin switched us. I'm in your body right now… And it is really weird without a heartbeat." I said.

"Um Claire darling? Loose your pretty fingers from my neck thank you." Myrnin said. I let go. Amelie in my body got up but not so gracefully. She stumbled a little and steadied herself on the arm of a chair. I guessed she was used to vampire graceness.

"Myrnin you said nothing would happen." She said trying to be icy and mad which sounded and looked weird on my body.

"Well I had to say that or you wouldn't take part." Myrnin said.

"Yes well now that it works you will change us back. I have a meeting I must attend shortly." She said.

"Yes… Well it needs time to charge…" Myrnin said.

"How long?" I demanded.

"About … 4 hours… Maybe a whole day…" He said.

"What?!" Me and Amelie exclaimed.

"But I'm sure you can find something to occupy yourselves with?" Myrnin asked and smiled.

Amelie in my body sighed.

"Claire you have to go to the meeting." She said.

"What? No I can't! Oliver will… Uh… I can't be you." I said.

"You must." She said. "I will go to your house… This shall be awkward." She said.

"Oh right… You can't um… Speak like you normally do. Eve or my housemates will recognize and that will be awkward. And you can survive on human food." I said. I heard about she had been changed into a vampire against her will so maybe this could be her chance to experience being human again.

"Yes." Amelie nods. Well come with me and I will have to teach you some things." She said.

"Myrnin I expect you to do something that won't make me want you dead. You should have explained properly." She said. She looked at my hair twirling it around her fingers. "Brunette… That's… Different."

"Yeah…"

"Come then. Meeting starts in 1 hour." She said going up the stairs and I sighed and followed.
