Chapter 4 is up. YAY! I have an alarm clock that doesnt wake me up in the morning. It stays silent. Thank you if you reviewed the last chapter! Now on with the story.
Enjoy x
I went into Amelie's office. And braced myself for an attack. But none came. I looked up. Amelie's hand was healing from the silver stake and probably her foot is as well. She had calmed down now and her eyes went back to being grey.
"Do you really hate me that much, to injure myself so badly?" Amelie's voice sounded worn out and weak.
"I course I dont. I really like you. Its just you were angry and I didnt want to get in your way. I'm sorry the stake was in the way and I thought you were thirsty. I'll vacuum the floor now so you dont get injured again." I quickly went away but Amelie called me back.
"Claire leave it. Its Myrnin and he will clean it up when he gets here."
"Is your hand alright, Amelie? Do you want me to get a bandage or something so it doesnt get infected? and what about your foot? Do you want me to get you a drink?" I asked kid of desperate to make up for injuring her.
Amelie sighed, and put her head in her hand.
"Claire, you are going to drive me to an early grave. My hand and foot will heal you gave a days worth of blood to drink and I'm fine like I've said for the 5th time. Please if you want to help me you can go up to your room. I'll order a new door."
I decided that but then thought she wont be alright.
"No Amelie, I'm not going." She looked up. I bet she was suprised to hear some diobey her.
"I am going to help you whether you want it or not. And you need company. I'm not leaving you here alone." I said, definately. I am not going to take no for an answer and I dont care if she is the Founder or not. She needs some company once in a while.
Amelie was speechless for a few minutes, then broke out in a smile.
"Claire, child, I really dont know what to say. I would like company thank you." Amelie said, sounding (for once) grateful at something I did.
"Ok, I'm going to get you a bandage and check out your hand." I left before she could say anything.
Amelie's POV (Its only short. sorry)
That child is so determined. No wonder her parents love her. But I did try to tell her i'm fine and I dont need help. But she insisted. She blamed herself for the mess I'm in. Just like Sam. I miss him. And the way his grandson acted I was thinking whether it would have be a good idea to change little Claire in the first place. I sigh. My hand is healing slowly but it stings a little, nothing to worry about. Myrnin started this mess, and he has to end it. Sometimes I wonder why I made friends with him in the first place. Most days he's charming and days like this makes me want to kill him. Claire comes back in with antiseptic and bandages. I save my breath knowing she wont listen if I tell her those things are unnecessary.
Claire's POV
I find antiseptic in the cupboards and bandages in my bag. Then I bring them down to Amelie. She opened her mouth and closed, seeing no point in telling me she does'nt need them.
I walk over and ask her if I can look at her hand. She puts it on the table, and leans back. It makes me kind of nervous being this close when she could kill me or throw me across the room if she wanted to. But she does'nt so I spray antiseptic in the wound to kill any germs and see Amelie wince a little but its gone as soon as it came. Then I wipe clean the area round the cut and put a bandage on it. I cut it to length and secure with sicky tape.
"You should be a doctor, but I suppose anyone could do that." Amelie said quietly and smiled a bit at my effort.
"I-I... erm... thanks." I stammer. God I sound soo stupid.
Amelie laughs a bit at that then put her bandaged hand on her lap.
"Thank you, for that and before you ask, my foot is fine and healed. It will seem a little strange for you to be tending to my feet" Amelie's smile widened.
"Tell me about it. Do you know when Myrnin is coming back?" Before she could answer the door opened and closed and Myrnin walked into the room.
"Hello ladies. Had a nice chat? Oh, and erm Oliver asked me to tell little Claire that he would like to talk to her when he's dead." Myrnin smiled at his not funny joke.
"Myrnin does it really take you take you that long to go and get different clothes on? Or were you fighting with Oliver again?" Amelie asked, her smile gone because Myrnin's here.
"Oh no no why would I waste my energy fighting with the hippie? Really Amelie you do have some strange ideas sometimes-" Myrnin cut himself off as he noticed Amelie's bandaged hand.
"Good lord Amelie, what have you done to your hand? Or have you and little Claire been playing nurses?" Myrnin actually seemed to care then but wrecked it when he said if we were playing nurses.
"No Myrnin. Because of you I cut it on glass you shattered all over my floor. Now you are going to clean up your mess and then you may talk to little Claire." Amelie said. I was going to ask her to stop calling me little because i'm tall and almost 19.
Before he could protest, I took out the vacuum and handed it to him.
"omg, there is this patch of blood I have on my shirt. I must have forgotten to change while I was at the lab. I'll have to go and change now." Myrnin is so crap at lying. for one thers no blood on his shirt and 2 he spent long enough down there. Amelie went to the doorframe before Myrnin could get and crossed her arms.
"Myrnin I know very well you are lying. Now plug the vacuum in and start clearing up your mess you made on my carpet." Amelie said in a harsh tone.
"Oh no but Amelie the sharp glass will break the bag. Ive got a vacuum at home and-" Myrnin got cut off by Amelie.
"Stop lying Myrnin. Just vacuum. Now" Amelie demanded.
Myrnin looked at the vacuum like it was responisble he had to clean up the mess. Amelie gestured for me to come. I came and she whispered in my ear,
"Lets go and have something to drink. Myrnin can clean up this mess and he will do it all again if he hasnt done it properly." she whispered. I smiled. Myrnin was looking at us probably wondering what we were on about.
"Little Amelie, cant I at least have Claire to help me vacuum. Its a big room and it will take a long time" Myrnin smiled innocently.
"Dont call me little and plenty of time to think about how you treat my room when you come in here again." Amelie smiled obviously not telling hi what we were doing. When he started the vacuum Amelie gestured to follow her out and put a finger to her lips to say be quiet. Then we left.
Amelie offered me a piece of cake and I took it and put it on my plate. I was having a good time since Amelie had sent Myrnin back to do the carpet again...14 times. Now he has come in here again and staring at the cake. Amelie got up and went into the living and Myrnin snatched a piece of Madeira lemon cake. He was too fast for me to stop so when Myrnin had shoved it in his mouth and removed all evidence, Amelie came in and I was about to tell her but Myrnin clamped a hand to my mouth.
"The carpet is spotless but if you dont remove your hand from Claire's mouth I shall make you do the carpet 3 more times." Amelie said. Myrnin instantly tookhis hand away.
"Does that mean I get cake?" Myrnin asked hopefully.
"You've already had some when Amelie was out of the room." I told him. Amelie looked at Myrnin waiting for an answer.
"She's lying. She ate a big chunk of cake and shes blaming it on me. You cant seriously believe her Amelie."
"I can. She saved me from getting staked by her friend, and she has provided me with company and bandaged my hand and been lovely. You however had littered my carpet with glass and made me hurt my hand. And you are the most un liked person today on my list 2nd to Oliver. So yes I can believe her and you cant have any cake since you already had some." Amelie smiled kind of not nice as Myrnin face fell. Then he grabbed another slice and shoved it in his mouth then pointlessly pointed at me. Then he ran out.
"Sometimes I wish why i'm friends with him." Amelie said, sighing.
"Tell me about it. Can I go to the Glass House? Thank you for the cake and the drink but I really want to see Shane."
"Theres no keeping you 2 apart is there? Even though he tried to stake me and shouted at me." Amelie said. I could have sworn that she smiled.
"Please? I only want to see him and if he breaks up with me or something, and Michael and Eve dont like me I'll come here and keep you company. Please?" I begged. Just something to get me out of this house.
"You can go at night. You'll burn if you go out now." I couldnt believe Amelie had actually allowed me to go outside! Finally I was going to get fresh air and see civilisation again.
Phew. I have done 3 chapters in 1 day. or 2.
Please review! x
Or I will get a hungry Amelie, Oliver or Myrnin come to eat you. Mwahaha...I'm not normal.
