So glad you liked the previous chapter I have a three day weekend so more to come soon enjoy

Claire

I gasped when he lifted me up onto the table. I leaned into him as his hands roamed my back. They left cool tendrils where they skimmed and prodded. I heard the faint snap of my bra and then he was gone. I opened my eyes and saw he was wrestling with someone. The hell? I heard hissing and flashes of blonde hair. Blonde hair. Blonde hair? Blonde hair! Oh. My. God. Michael. Why was he here? I checked myself and stepped off of the table. They were still fighting. Rolling around in blurs and flashes like cats. I couldn't keep up with it anymore.

"Stop!" I shouted and they both froze mid fight. They both looked over at me. "What the hell are you doing here?" They still hadn't let go of each other.

"I was sent by Amelie to watch over Myrnin to make sure he didn't alter any of the data." I looked expectantly at Myrnin.

"Did you know he was here?" He shook his head.

"If I had known he was here do you think I would have acted as I had?" He looked hurt. Pain and longing glazed over his eyes. Michael looked at him and hissed. Myrnin hissed right back.

"Oi! Quit it both of you." I shook my head as the detangled themselves from each other, but they were still giving icy glares. "Why Michael?"

"Because I was worried he would hurt you, and I couldn't just leave Amelie would have my head." It wasn't a joke. He looked hurt and very serious.

"Does it look like he was hurting me?" I almost yelled. I was mad because he cared. Odd I know, but sometimes he was just overprotective.

"Not really, but you don't know what he is capable of doing." Myrnin looked at Michael with a red flare then he looked back at me his eyes normal.

"Me, if that's what you mean." I felt my hands clench into fists. I saw Myrnin's twitch into a smile then he composed himself. Michael moved towards me and I moved back. "I know you were only trying to help and looking out for me, but I am almost an adult now." I wasn't going to tell him I didn't feel it at this moment. I felt like a teenager caught in the act. Which, I guess, in a sense, I was. "Please can you just – no I'll leave." I turned around grabbing my bag and opened a portal to my room. I stepped through with the fading echo of Myrnin calling my name. I stepped through and face planted the floor. I threw my backpack off and curled into the fetal position. My fall made a loud thud and I heard the clomping of Eve running up the steps. She burst through the door not stopping as she ran to help me.

"Oh god Claire what happened. Please don't be dead. Claire?" She turned me over and I looked at her with welled eyes. Her appearance was shifting due to the tears streaming down my face. "Oh god, Claire tell me what happened." She persisted and I coughed before I answered.

"Mich – Michael he –" I sobbed in hitched breaths and her anger flared.

"What did he do to you?" She said in a low voice. I sat up and shook my head trying to catch my breath from the racking sobs that consumed me.

"No – no it wasn't –" I wiped my face with the back of my sleeve. "It wasn't his fault it was mine." I took a deep breath. "I just needed a release and he had to ruin in by attacking Myrnin." I hit my fist on the floor and it throbbed.

"What? You aren't making any," She looked at the ground then back at me. "Oh." She said softly. "Oh." He voice hitched and I was scared she would reject me as her friend.

"Eve I'm so sorry I know it was so soon after Shane, but the turmoil and frustration inside me just – " She threw herself into me with a restricting hug. I stopped shocked at her reply.

"No, no shhh, don't I – " She choked. "I understand. It was hard for me to accept you after what happened with Michael, but after finding out he was under Naomi's command it was easier to come around to. This, this has to be just heart wrenching." I nodded. She let go of me and pushed me to arms distance. "Just don't get hurt. That's probably all he was worried about."

"It was and I told him to not worry about me so much. I didn't want to hurt him, but I was hurt." I said softly my tears drying up, but my nose still running. I sniffled and Eve grabbed a tissue and handed it to me. I laughed at it. Only Eve could brighten my mood with skulls. She gave a smile and I wiped my eyes and nose. "How do I look?" I said finishing up.

"Like a movie star left out in the rain come on." She stood up taking me with her. "I made spaghetti tacos." I smiled and I leaned into her as we walked down the stairs.

Myrnin

"How dare you do that you nave!" I yelled turning on the blonde boy once Claire was gone. I felt my eyes cloud red as I stalked forward.

"How dare you pursue that!" He snapped back baring his fangs at me. I growled.

"I see you have done your duty now get out." I said calmly. It was almost eerie how I was able to do that. He growled as he watched me until he was all the way one the other side of the room by the door. I kept my back to him as he left and heard the door slam once he retreated back to tell Amelie. I took calming breaths as I looked at where the scattered doughnuts and coffee lay strewn all over the floor. The microscope was tilting on the edge and ran to catch it. I pushed it back onto the table and gave one last look to make sure my euphoria hadn't deceived me. No the results were the same. They indeed were siblings. I sighed and pulled my eyes away from the scope and walked to the chair. I felt pain for leading little Claire on like that. Most days I cursed my love for her. How simple things could overwhelm me into believing she loved me back. It had filled me with glee knowing that she would no long be with that human boy, but I saw the damage it tolled on her soul. Her spirit seemed deflated and almost disgusted. I hated myself for forgetting, but also who says she would believe me if I remembered and she would believe me. Not likely. I sat down putting a hand on my head. I heard the ripple of a portal. I kept my eyes closed.

"Myrnin look at me." I still hadn't looked up or even acknowledged that she had walked through the portal. "Myrnin I am in no mood for childish games. Look at me now." She stepped closer, and I continued to ignore her with my eyes closed. She growled. Something she didn't do often and snapped her fingers. Someone's hands were on my neck condemning me to look at her. I struggled and writhed under their grip hissing.

"Let go of me you abomination." I scratched and bite down on the hand as it finally let go. I sat back down in my chair. "I am not talking to you. You send this dog to do your dirty work." I snarled. Oliver growled right back.

"Good now that I have your attention, Michael has warned me of your interference with young Claire. I ban you from taking this further. I will not lose a valued human to the society because of your unpredictable habits." I closed my eyes to hold back my anger.

"You cannot ban love Amelie. You of all people should know that." I snapped.

"Oh but I can and I will if the means come to pull against you dear friend." She turned around.

"Do not call me friend when you take away the only thing that has kept me mostly sane this past year give or take." I thought back to when Claire first came to me. "Love is not a switch I can't just flick it off."

"It worked for me." She said without turning around. "Make due however you can, but do not pursue this horrendous dream of yours." She opened a portal and both she and Oliver left with that final word. If she wasn't going to let me finally come to love Claire, then we are just going to have to see about that. I gave a wicked grin and sat back down staring at the wall where she had left.
