Chapter 3- mistakes

We parked in the underground parking lot of the city hall. This time Oliver waited for me to get out first, which I didn't want to do as I couldn't see him, I wanted him in front so he could lead the way and so I knew what he would do next as I could see him in front of me but obviously I was not going to get my way come to think of it I don't think I'm going to get my way ever again. I gritted my teeth and Oliver must of seen it because I smile slithered its way onto his face replacing the anger that was there.

He placed his hand on my back guiding me, It wasn't in a nice way it was in a way that clearly said 'I don't care about you' as he kept pushing and steering me roughly in the other direction as I sometimes I went the wrong way which isn't my fault, how was I supposed to know where to go it creeped me out and I wanted to get out of his touch but after what happened earlier I was going to keep quiet.

I was about to turn right because I had to make random guesses but Oliver grabbed my arm and shoved me to the left there was a door at the end I went to open it but Oliver with his speed beet me and opened it before me and went in gracefully. I hung back not wanting to make a show of myself but as always I didn't have much look so when Oliver entered they all looked at him then looked at me behind him and most of them were all vampires so I couldn't really hide very well. I didn't know everyone there, some random vamps there i didn't focus on anyone in particular all I could do was stare in front of me.

Shane was there standing with his hands in cuffs. He looked all right, no damage that I could see. He was looking at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen. The phrase 'the eyes are the window to the soul' came up in my head, and it really was true. I didn't care about anyone in the room I just walked forward. No one stopped me either. The vampires stood beside him moved further backwards to give us some space. Even though his hands were in cuffs he lifted them up and put his arms around me.

I fell in to him. I had cried so much now that no more tears would come. I just stood there and hugged him breathing in his scent.

"Why didn't you leave Shane?" I moaned into his chest taking everything in not wanting this to end.

"I couldn't leave you! I wouldn't leave with my dad anyway" there was a short silence as Shane hugged me closer and rested his chin on my head.

"What have you done Claire?" I managed a small smile typical Shane, he was on a death sentence and was worrying about me.

"I'm fine, just in my usual mess. Besides it's you we should be worrying about, you're the one with the…" I couldn't finish that line it was too hard to say. Still no tears would come.

"Shhhhh… everything will be okay you'll see!" I shook my head. How on earth could he say that?

"All right that's enough of that" I heard Oliver boom across the room. I hadn't noticed that the entire room was silent and watching us. One of the guards moved me out of Shane's grip and another held Shane as he tried to get out of the grip.

"No get off me Claire!" I heard him shout but he was behind me now as a guy with ash blonde hair in a suite started dragging me away from him.

"Please you have to let him go." I shouted trying to plead to Oliver.

"Claire!" Shane's voice rang in my ears

"Please just don't kill him please!" I was furious now screaming at the top of my lungs.

"Quiet!" Oliver bellowed and I managed to stop the screaming but still tried to get out of the grip. He suddenly let me go seeing as I couldn't really do much in a room full of vampires.

"Now as I was saying…"

"You absolute b…" I didn't manage to finish that sentence Oliver using his vampire speed came up behind me put a hand to my mouth -cutting me of mid scream-and using his other arm to hold my arms back. I stood frozen wondering what was going to happen now.

"No. let go of her." I was too frozen to even see where Shane was shouting from.

"Now that was a mistake." Oliver whispered in my ear. Making me shiver as his ice cold breath hit me.

"Don't you ever speak to me like that again." I could feel his mouth on my neck and this time I realized what he was about to do so I tried everything to get out of his grip.

"Oliver!" I heard a female voice warn him, I heard him laugh and I could just tell that and evil grin was spreading across his face his took his mouth away suddenly and I relaxed, but Oliver didn't release his hold

"Jason" I heard Oliver call out and suddenly I was in someone else hands. I was a bit confused so I looked behind me and saw Jason there making sure I didn't move. I suddenly became angry. This was the guy who stabbed my boyfriend. I saw his hands round my elbow and they were really creepy; they were thin and extremely dirty along with a few smears of blood. He saw me look at him and his face copied Oliver's as an evil smile spread over.

"Remember me hunni don't you?" I shivered and kept still.

"Oliver just let the boy go. Frank Collins will be long gone by now and he wont come back for his son who chose to stay behind." There was a small silence I looked and saw that the person that spoke was Amelie the person who took the book from us. Head of the town, the founder I shook my head and looked over at Shane and he was stood frozen with hate and disgust in his eyes staring at Oliver.

"All right" my head snapped round to look at Oliver not actually believing what I just heard. Did he just agree to let him go just like that?

"But on two conditions" just those four words creeped me out and I knew that I wasn't going to like this at all. He looked at me.

"One you are not to see Shane except of one hour a week." I stared at him dumbfounded I wasn't aloud to see Shane at all, except of one hour, well its either that or he dies!

"That means you wont be aloud to live in the glass house so that leads us to Number two" not live in the glass house what where the hell am I going to live, dear god don't say yourself, I prayed as hard as I could, wait could he leave me on the streets. My brain was having a mad workout in the space of 2 seconds that took Oliver to pause to tell his wonderful news, you could tell by the smile on his face that he was going to like this and not me, which would make Oliver happy I suppose seeing everyone else miserable.

"Your to live with Jason here" WHAT!


yay please review i love them!
