Chapter 3
There was a thump at the door. Claire jumped up from behind the couch and went to answer it, on her way out the felt a thump on her back and turned around to see a pillow at her feet and Shanes guilty smile. She picked up the pillow and threw it back at Shane before running out the room. Oliver was at the door, which was weird as he never came round unless he was trying to kill them. "I'm here to speak to Shane, eve, you and Michael" Oliver was wearing his sun protection outfit "are you going to let me in or watch me burn to death out here" the second option was tempting but she managed to get the thought out her head "erm yeah sure come in" she lead the way to the lounge where the pillow war was still happening. Michael threw a pillow at Claire as she came through the door. It missed Claire but caught Oliver straight in his face. "You know Michael you're very young and I could kill you so easily" Oliver sighed "but I am afraid that is not why I am here, you see little Claire here has become very valuable to Morganville over the past year and I am sure you realize Claire that one day one of you adventures will get you killed and of course making you into a vampire wouldn't change that because as a new born your abilities are very weak. So I spoke to myrnin who has created a formula in which drunken ages your vampire age by 300 years. Now of course we have taken into account that Claire is much stronger when she is fighting for something she loves, like you guys and she is also stronger when you people are with her, so congratulations on being test subjects for this drink. Meet Amelie and myrnin in the lab chop chop time is very important."
They all stood there, not saying a word. "Wait Oliver" Michael said in such a calm voice. "To see if this works won't they have to be come...?" Michael was shaking, it was the first time Claire had seen him freeze at the word his was about to say. "Vampires, why yes Michael, your so clever." Oliver had a sarcastic tone while speaking but it soon turned from sarcastic to boring Oliver "come on." He yelled.
Shane didn't move. Claire tugged on his arm, and he turned to face her "Claire I can't do this". Shane was the one who hated vampires the most considering what they did to his mother and father. Claire felt sorry for him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and he wrapped his around hers. "Forgive me" she whispered, and before Shane even had time to ask she turned to Oliver and sighed
"Just take me, these guys are like my family and I could never see them hurt, and considering they wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for me then it isn't fair to hurt them, so just take me and let them live their lives human"
"Claire, this is a very important thing to do, if you turn I am afraid you won't be able to live here anymore" Oliver was calm, how the hell was he calm. "You won't even be able to see them, their memories will be wiped of the past year and they will be programmed to only believe what we wish them to, Claire are you sure this is what you want."
Claire glanced at Shane, she saw a tear go down his cheek but he didn't say anything neither did eve or Michael "yes I am sure"
"Okay then we must go", Oliver opened a portal to myrnins lab and stepped inside, Claire followed. She could have sworn she heard Shane shouting her but the portal was gone before she could work it out.
