Claire's change

Myrnin seemed to understand that there was more to the story too but he didn't press for more, Bishop cleared his throat and we started to move on to find Amelie to my displeasure.

Chapter three:

I was walking down the hall of the City hall while holding François's hand Ysandre had caught up with us on our way to find Amelie Myrnin was leading us to her, I'd thought he was her friend boy was I wrong. We arrived in the 'battle field' I stood behind François so I couldn't be seen by anyone, Myrnin had told me to stay with him so he also couldn't be seen he told me the others had gotten out of the City hall after the hurricane had gone through that they were safe in his lab, I knew Bishop was going to use them against me if I went against his orders. "Come on daughter why don't you just hand over the book already." Bishop shouted from across the room to Amelie she smiled then a portal opened behind her she walked through with the others. Bishop was angry so hit out his hit got both me and François we went flying into the wall across the room, I coughed up blood from the hit François seemed angry that he'd hit me but he didn't do anything fear of what he'd do next.

"Are you well now my love?" he asked me I nodded my head he helped me up we walked off to our new secret 'villain' lair Bishop walked to his throne to be interrupted by some of his guards they had Theo Goldman and his family being dragged in I was beside François when they came into the room. They all looked around the room all their eyes widen when they saw me then turned to Bishop; he gave one of his evil smiles.

"Welcome Theo to my new Liar its lovely isn't but I brought you here because well you see I need you to do me a favour, I want you to get me the book and Amelie or it'll be at the cost of your family do you understand." Bishop said to Theo the guards let him go then I moved over at vamp speed to help him up.

"I'm so sorry Theo," I said to him he looked into my eyes seeing just the old Claire he'd seen some time ago.

"Dear could you take Theo to Myrnin's lab please no emotion please?" Bishop laughed behind us I nod my head taking Theo by the arm out of the room to a near portal I could open to take Theo to Myrnin's lab.

"So what happened to you the last time we had a talk young Claire?" Theo asked me I looked at the floor while walking down the hall.

"My friends and I went to City hall we got their trying to get everyone out but it was too late François turned me but I don't mind it I've found my love again after fifty years." I told him I'd told him too much already.

"I see so you were reborn because of Bishop I remember meeting François for the first time he seemed so upset I understand now so I still have to do what Bishop asked me to do?" he asked me I looked at him then nodded.

"I'm sorry I can't do anything about that but just be careful around Myrnin he'd not in his right mind." I warned him, Myrnin was a double agent I had realised he was working for both Bishop and Amelie I had taken it upon myself to get Bishop's blood for the cure and I was going to do it or die trying, I had things to do before I died again. We reached an open portal that I had found I used the frequency to Myrnin's lab he was there with the Eve, Michael and Shane they looked sad maybe thinking I was dead because Myrnin wasn't allowed to tell them or anyone I was alive. I held Theo to the wall cutting his windpipe, "Don't forget your family is on the line and if you tell them about me I'll kill them myself I have things on the line just like you do you understand." I said hard I couldn't of cared then I needed this to be kept a secret them not knowing was for the best, I throw him into the portal it then closed behind him he went to the floor I saw Myrnin in front maybe trying to open another portal I walked away when it closed I met Ysandre on the way she wasn't too happy.

"You may think you have Bishop and François wrapped around your finger but I'm not fooled so easily." She said with venom in her words.

"Sorry but what is wrong with being me that you find so annoying I mean I'm not slut like you, by the way you can have Shane he'll kill you once he sees you anyway and I know Bishop would get angry if I did." I said I walked away but she pulled me back pushing me into the wall, that was a bad move I kicked her hard in the leg so she faulted then roundhouse kicked her around the side she went flying I vamped ran back to François he looked worried I walked over.

"Are you well my love you seem unrested?" he asked me I nodded my head then kissed him on the lips softly. We walked away to our room he closed the door behind us still kissing me we became so engorged in this kiss I didn't care what was happening I just wanted François, I then thought what had happened after I left Theo?

Eve's pov: I decided to have a couple of other people's points of view I'll have more of Claire later. This is as Theo is thrown into Myrnin's lab.

We all got to take Myrnin to his cell Michael had thought it be best he seemed out of it lately, but as Myrnin had sorted himself out Theo Goldman came through a portal Myrnin and Michael tried reaching the portal before it closed but it shut before they reached it. I wondered who had done this to Theo he seemed to be breathing hard for some reason he got up with some help from Myrnin. "What happened to you when you left you're not injured are you?" Myrnin asked he shook his head as if he were in shock.

"I'm fine she didn't hurt me that much but I need you to find Amelie Bishop says he wants her and the book or he'll kill my family, you have to find her Myrnin you have the blood tie so you could find them." Theo told us it seemed unfair to hold his hostage but who was this 'She' that he was talking about.

"Theo who took you here?" Myrnin asked him before I could.

"She told me not to it was one of Bishop's new people its not good Myrnin it's really not we have to find Amelie." Theo answered.

"I can't send Amelie to Bishop I know it's between them but it won't solve anything just cause more trouble." Myrnin replied, "I have another idea" he said I looked at the boys then back at Myrnin.

"I'm coming with you Claire would want me too," I said Theo muttered under his breath I didn't hear it but I think Michael did. They agreed to join after we walked through the now opened portal to some dark area I think Claire had said she'd been here before which didn't sound very nice. Thinking about her didn't help me I had cried when Shane had taken me away but I just couldn't now Shane hated himself for not saving her when he could but Bishop had gone with Claire's body I just hoped that Claire had rested in peace. I thought this as we walked down the dark hall; we went into another portal across the hall we went through to a jail room of sorts where Myrnin must stay when he's extra crazy we kept going running this time staying away from the cells. "I really wish I wore different shoes," I said we soon stopped at the end of the hall there was a massive wooden door there, medieval style with thick, hand hammered iron bands, and the Founder's Symbol etched into the old wood. Myrnin turned around to face us all,

"Do you trust me at all?" he asked I nodded my head knowing this was just right to trust him the boys also nodded their heads as well "Then I will apologize now for what I'm about to do." He them did the unthinkable he took Shane by the shirt while kicking the door open he took Shane then closed the door behind them. I screamed Shane's name as I tried to open the door but it wouldn't open, we heard something behind us we looked to see it was all the cell doors opening all Vamps and humans coming out towards us this was not good at all. Michael walked away from me leaving me alone he soon reached the first vamp they didn't fight instead they just greeted each other this wasn't good they were welcoming each other then I saw that they had bite marks on them like Michael had. the door then opened behind me On the other side was a big stone hall, something straight out of a castle, and the wooden throne that I remembered from the welcome feast was here, sitting up on a stage. It was draped in red velvet sitting on the throne was Mr Bishop. He had François and some girl behind him then on the other side a scared up Ysandre, Shane was being held down by Myrnin on the stone floor he was struggling but he wasn't getting anywhere. Michael then came into the room but it wasn't the one I knew, I then spoke for the first time while they had a small discussion "Look just let Shane go please," I asked.

"Sorry little girl but I need the boy but I don't need you at all so Myrnin do I have what I want?" he asked Myrnin he took the book from Shane then Bishop looked at François by his side because if Myrnin let Shane up something bad was going to happen. "Dear could you take the book please it seems the jester can't move," he asked the girl from behind François let go of his hand then came out it was Claire she seemed so different I nearly didn't recognise her. Her hair looked longer also she wore something I'd never think of wearing it being a little old fashioned something was going on between her and François that didn't seem to good. She walked over to Myrnin and Shane he soon noticed too and stopped struggling she nodded to Ysandre she came over taking the book from Claire she bent down to Shane's ear what she must of told him must of angered him because he started struggling again and shouting her name as she walked over to François. Once she reached him she kissed him powerfully she kissed his check then said the five words I'd never thought I'd hear Claire say to anyone but Shane, "I love you my love."

"My lord what now with the Goldman's," Myrnin said Bishop looked at him confused.

"Who… ah yes they will be very safe." Bishop replied.

"And unharmed?" Myrnin asked.

Are you putting conditions on our little agreement?" Bishop asked. "Very well. They go free, and unharmed. Let all witness that Theo Goldman and his family will take no harm from me or mine, but they are not welcome in Morganville. I will not have them here."

Myrnin inclined his head. He lowered himself to one knee in front of the throne, and lifted the book in both hands over his head, offering it up.

Bishop's fingers closed on it, and he let out a long, rattling sigh. "At last," he said. "At last." He opened the book looking through the pages Myrnin had let go of Shane he got up and started walking over to me to comfort me but he never made it Michael tackled him to the floor Michael was snarling at Shane Bishop was ignoring them he turned to Claire again. "My dear could you do something for me," he said to Claire she went over to him he took some pages out of the book Myrnin walked forward, "Myrnin I have something for you to do. I want you to get me Oliver's head." He said while putting the pages around Claire's arm she snarled as it ripped into her skin she then stood again and ran over to Fancies he confronted her like Shane use to do for her, but something was more to them. Myrnin was smiling still at the request that Bishop had given him he walked off he was then out of the room again leaving me all alone. Then someone stood behind me it was Claire I noticed because she wasn't by François she wasn't Claire not really,

"Do as he tells you Eve he's dangerous and tell Amelie everything but me I need your help please I'm still Claire just not Claire Danvers I'm Claire De La Fuente just say that name to Amelie she'll have everything you need." Claire told me in a hushed whisper she looked at Bishop.

"Dear what should we do with your old friend here?" he asked her she looked at my neck it scared me.

"Let her go I believe the fools wrestling over there the bigger fool he can help control his pathetic father. Oh by the way fool one your father was captured I love what he said about me but tell you what he won't last too long under our rule." She said Michael picked him up effortlessly Bishop nodded to Claire's idea then to Michael.

"Yes we could use him to control him father Michael take him to the cell with his father." He told Michael he takes Shane away I'm left with Claire. "What about your other friend?" he looks at me with hunger in his eye.

"She should run that's what I think." Claire said she wanted me to run more than I really did that second.

"Then go," Bishop said, and smiled chillingly at Eve. "Run away. Find Amelie and tell her this: I have taken her town away, and all that she values. Tell her I have the book. If she wants it back, she'll have to come for it herself."

I angrily wiped tears from my face that I hadn't realised were there, I glaring at him. "She'll come. And I'll come with her. You don't own jack. This is our town, and we're going to kick you out if it's the last thing we do."

The assembled vampires all laughed. Bishop said, "Then come. We'll be waiting. Won't we, Claire?"

"Yes," she said, and went to sit down on the steps by his feet. "We'll be waiting."

He snapped his fingers. "Then let's begin our celebration, and in the morning, we'll talk about how Morganville will be run from now on. According to my wishes," I ran out of the room fast a portal swallowed me up to me being in a room along with Amelie, Myrnin, Oliver, Sam and other vamps they looked down at me as I fell into the room.

"What is she doing in here?" Oliver asked rudely.

"I'm not quite sure Eve what has happened since Myrnin left you?" Amelie asked, I looked at Myrnin I got up and pulled on his shirt.

"You idiot how could you do that now Michael is gone, Shane's in jail and Claire De Le Fuente is alive what is going on?" I shouted at him, this got Amelie's attention.

"Wait she's alive but that's impossible Myrnin why didn't you tell us," Amelie said franticly I didn't understand what that was meant to mean but Claire was French like François was I guess that means they knew each other once upon a time.

"I'm afraid so she's been here all this time we have to help her take down Bishop from the inside but he put the curse on here she has to obey his orders." Myrnin said I looked at Sam he must have known about what happened to Michael.

"So what's happening now?" I asked they looked at then I realised I was to be kept in the dark because I was only human.

"You will find Claire De Le Fuente she seems to like you so I want you to find her bring her here also Myrnin you will help her do so I will sort out our plans for the event coming up," Amelie said.

Myrnin and I left them later on looking for Claire De Le Fuente it actually wasn't that hard because Monica was beating her up like I had thought. She was with Fancies as always he was watching as she as she was getting beat up I saw red at first then Claire dropped to the floor bleeding. Monica laughed at her as she lay on the floor, then I heard another laugh it was coming from Claire she got up as she healed "Really you didn't notice my eyes?" she asked I hadn't but then I looked at Myrnin for the answer.

"She has deadly eyes people become entranced in her eyes they are different colours one is red like blood the other gold like desire she had them when she was first born into this world where she lived in France with her aunt her parents had died when she was three again by Bishop her parents created the book her mother died giving birth to Claire she was young too her father was the person Bishop talked about killing to gain the book before Amelie had it. She met François while living with her aunt they fell in love at a young age but when she died after he was turned it was Bishop who killed her he was living in a shack with a lot of dangerous areas she died painfully I'm afraid. But that's why she wants Bishop to pay." Myrnin told me, I looked at Claire again she had Monica by the hair whispering in her ear she then drops her to the floor she runs over to Françoise hugging him Monica runs off into the school building she sees us staring at them then walks over.

"So she wants to see me doesn't she I'm not going to do anything dangerous I promise anyway she can't see me yet give it more time." She told us Francis looked at her she kissed him then whispered in his ear he nodded. "François is in on this understood I want that made clear to everyone I'll have Michael brought to Amelie when I can." She told us then walked away holding François's hand they walked into a portal maybe to Bishop's lair, I looked at Myrnin.

"So what are we going to do now?" I asked him, he looked at Sam that was across the road looking at us in a kind of horror.
