Chapter 9

Claire's pov-

Oliver was the first one to break the stare but Amelie kept on staring Oliver clear his throat "so what are we going to do about our little problem"

Amelie blinked and was silent for a bit and then said very quietly "we do nothing" it was so quietly that I nearly miss it.

Oliver's eyes widened "WHAT!" he shouted making me jump.

"They will expect us to come down with a fight …. So we don't fight, we do the unexpected, I don't want a war in this town, so I will just tell the vampires that if they are attacked then they should fight back but only self defence nothing more." Amelie said

"Are you listening to yourself, you are putting all of us in danger" Oliver said thought clenched teeth.

"Maybe….. But there will be more blood shed with a war and a war is not what we need at the moment…." she said with the last part very quiet what did she mean 'at the moment' was there something else going on? It looks like Oliver caught it to but didn't say any think probably because I was there …. I suddenly felt like I should not be in this conversation.

The room was silent for ages Oliver was staring at Amelie he look very pissed of then his eyes fell off Amelie and landed on me ,he smiled for a second but it looked like it was more to him self than any think.

"I am not going to stay here and listen to your nonsense Amelie I am going home" Oliver said and walked out the room.

Amelie rolled her eyes I clear my throat "so what did you need to see me about?" I said nervously

"Shane….. I was wondering if he told you anything about where he was going?" she said

"no" I said simply

"Really I would have thought if he had told anybody it would have been you Claire?" she said

I looked to the floor "Shane broke up with me" I said quietly

Amelie frowned as if she could not quite believe what she was hearing "oh…very well you may go" she said

'Wait a minute is that all she wanted to ask me' I thought

"urmm … okay bye" I said and stood up

"bye" she said bluntly and I walked out the door.

Oliver's pov (starts in Amelie's office before he walked out)-

"Maybe….. But there will be more blood shed with a war and a war is not what we need at the moment…." Amelie said with the last part very quiet. I was shocked at first 'what does she mean at the moment is there something going on that I don't know about?' but then I was just pissed off 'FOR FUCK SAKE NOW I AM ANGRE! doesn't she think I should know if there is something going on, I am her second-in-commend and for god sake she is telling us that we should not fight these idiots only in self defence , I mean seriously' I decided not to say anything because Claire was here 'why was Claire even here' I thought ….. I looked over at her and I could not help the small smile that played on my lips but I had an idea and it was a good one….
