Claire's pov

When we reached Morganville I was taken straight to Amelie's office. I was sat in a very uncomfortable chair when the ice queen herself entered the office.

"Well Claire, how did you manage a year gone?" she asked me her voice cool and controlled.

"Well well well, if it isn't the ice queen!" I said. I slouched back in my seat.

"Why, haven't you changed Claire" she sounded amused and that pissed me of. Royally.

"You wanna go bitch!" I said. Jumping from my seat.

"Now now Claire, just an observation" she said, her voice still smug and amused. I fixed my jacket with a tug and sat back down. She began to grill me on how she was going to overlook my leaving Morganville and so on. I was bored and just sat picking at my nails. Man I needed a fag. I pulled out my fags and lit up. Oliver came over, pulled the fag from my mouth and threw it out the window. He plucked the box and lighter from my hands and put them in his pocket.

"Hey! Do you know how much they cost you bastard! You cant just go throwing them away like that without finishing them!" I protested.

"Hush. I believe Amelie was talking to you" he spoke in an amused tone.

"Yeah, well I believe I was having a smoke" I retorted. He looked ready to hit me when Amelie stepped in.

"Child, I suggest you shut up. You are to go back to the Glass House, and should you choose not to cooperate, John and Callum here will be happy to escort you" she said in that irritatingly cool voice of hers.

" Like hell am I going back there!" John and Callum stood up and the pair of them looked like a set of bulldozers. I turned and ran towards the window,preparing to jump, and found myself being hauled back by the arms, kicking and screaming. They took me towards the awaiting limo, Oliver hot on our heels. Good! I want my fags back.

When we arrived at the Glass House, John and Callum took one of my arms each and hauled me out of the limo. I was dragged across the threshold of the house.

"Michael!" screamed Oliver. Michael arrived, Eve and Shane behind him.

"I believe this heap is yours" he said.

"Yeah there ya go with the I believe again. Can I have my fags back?" I asked. He turned around and snarled in my face.

"OOH! Big scary vampire, somebody protect me!" I faked. He pulled my box of fags and lighter from his pocket and threw them at me before storming out, John and Callum behind him.

I straightened my leather jacket with a tug before picking them up.

"Stupid son of a bitch!" I murmured. I looked up and saw them all staring at me.

"What!" I shouted.

"Claire, what happened to you?" Eve asked.

"You've changed!" she squeaked.

"What! You wanna go bitch!" I squared up to her. She cringed back and whimpered.

"Yeah that's what I thought" I swaggered my way into the living room. I flopped down on the couch and pulled out a cigarette. I lit up and put my heavy biker boots on the table. I dragged in a breath of smoke and blew it out again.

"You smoke Claire?" asked a dumbfounded Michael.

"No chiz!" I replied, in a sarcastic voice. Michael, Eve and Shane were all staring at me when a knock came at the door. It was Jerome.

"Your bike Claire" he said before turning to leave.

"If I find one scratch on my baby im gonna hunt you down and stake you!" I shouted after him. I walked outside to inspect said baby.

"I want the old Claire back!" I heard Eve wail behind me.

"Why? You don't like what you see?" I asked a smile spreading on my face. She shook her head while Michael wrapper her in a hug.

"Well tough luck" I said before turning back.

"Jeez Claire what happened" Shane asked, it was the first time he had spoke.

"I grew up and faced the fact that life aint what it seems. Maybe you should to" I told him before flipping him of. I took another drag of smoke before blowing it out in his face. He looked shocked, I just smiled at him.

"Come on Claire its getting dark we should head inside" Michael whispered.

"Yeah right all the fun is at night in this place" I said. I jumped on my bike and sped of into the distance, leaving a gob smacked Michael, Eve and Shane behind me.
