Amelie.
"Go after her, immediately!" Amelie shouted down the phone, ordering her guards on the other end. Oliver stepped forward from behind her and carefully plucked the phone from her fingers.
"Forget that order, I believe I have a better arrangement for her. Wait a moment." He covered the speaker with his hand and looked at Amelie. She was amazed by what he had just said. They needed to get Claire back. Without her there was no way they were going to be able to stop a full on riot from the glass house members and, more importantly, Myrnin. He smiled in explanation, "I was thinking we could have a little more fun with this." With that he placed the phone to his ear and spoke with a wide grin, "You still there? Good, you are to tell the blood banks that Myrnin and the Glass house residence can no longer be provided blood donations."
"'I'm sorry sir but I only take orders from the founder." Amelie could hear the person say on the other end. Oliver held out the phone to her, eyebrows raised and waiting. Amelie hesitated for a moment. Then, in one swift motion, she took the phone from his hand and placed it to her ear. It took minutes of silence before she finally said,
"Do it."
Myrnin.
Alyssa appeared again, not many hours after he had given her the first order. Shane was still keeping his distance, but even Myrnin could see the clenching of his fists and the tightening of his jaw when he saw her. Myrnin stood from where he had been sitting to face Alyssa.
"What be the problem my dear?" He asked kindly. Alyssa's metallic voice replied,
"Claire's location has changed. It keeps changing; she is heading towards us this very instant."
"What? How?" the others chorused.
"I'm afraid I do not know that information but she is travelling at an extremely rapid rate. She's heading towards here at least 100 miles per hour." Alyssa said blankly. Everyone fell silent as it sank in. It was as if they had all read each other's thoughts. She had been turned. Myrnin was sure of it. There was a possibility that she had commandeered a vehicle but it was unlikely she would've been able to get one ,let alone drive that fast. Myrnin couldn't decide how he felt about that. There was no way she would've chosen to be like that of her own accord. But Myrnin couldn't help the surge of joy that the thought of her being like him filled him with. She would finally be like him, and be able to be with him. Forever. And protected. He had always worried about her. No matter how much strength she had how much determination. She was still so vulnerable. Humans were so easily killed. It was almost ridiculous. Now she was immune to most of them. She was safe. And she had now broke free and was heading their way.
Myrnin snapped out of his trance as Alyssa carried on telling them something else. "I have also come to tell you that my sensors have picked up that there has been a new vampire entering through the borders. Do you wish for this information to be open with the Founder?"
"No. Yes. I don't know. It depends." Myrnin stammered. He didn't have a clue who that could be. It could be someone who would side with Amelie. Or it could be someone useful. Either way it was better if Myrnin went to see who it was himself. He sighed and told her, "Yes, keep it a hidden from Amelie until I say otherwise." Alyssa simply nodded and disappeared. Myrnin went a grabbed his coat and hat, readying him to find this Mystery person before Amelie did. He then turned to look at the rest of them, all looking dumbstruck. He didn't have time for this.
"Michael. I need you to accompany me to find this person. You two can stay here. I advise that you prepare some blood." Shane's head snapped up, shooting daggers at him. Myrnin put up his hands, "Just a thought. If, what I'm sure we are all thinking, has happened then it's not a bad idea."
With that he grabbed another one of his coats and hat and flung it at Michael. Michael put them on hesitantly. "What's going on?"
"Well I need to go see who this person is and it would be much appreciated if I had another vampire along with me to make sure I don't die." Eve let out a sarcastic chuckle,
"Sometimes it amazes me how much you care." With a cheeky smile Myrnin tilted his hat to her.
…
Myrnin and Michael walked along the desert ground. They could see a figure in the distance, getting closer every minute. A few minutes later and they could clearly see it was a woman. Myrnin recognized her face. But it couldn't be. It had to. Who else could it be? Her hair was black and cut short and straight. Her fridge was just above her eyes. She wore a very extravagant hat on her head. She saw him and a dazzling smile spread across her lips. Which Myrnin didn't care to return. She opened her arms wide, welcoming a hug. Myrnin stopped just a few feet away, leaving her hanging. "Weapons." Myrnin stated blankly.
"Why don't you trust me?" She asked in her smooth voice, as if she thought that would work on him.
"Hand them over. I have learnt from experience that you can't be trusted with weapons." With a sigh she took off her jacket whish was filled with guns and stakes and other weapons. She threw it to the floor at his feet. "That's it."
"Why do I not believe you?" Said Myrnin, stepping forward. She held out her arms and smirked. Myrnin patted her down, quickly. He found guns tucked into both of her boots. Vial of silver nitrate tapped and padded inside her shirt. And he looked around to see something protruding out of the back of her baggy jeans. "You have got to be joshing me?"
"You can never be too careful." She said sweetly. Myrnin pulled up the back of her shirt slightly to see she had tucked handgun into the back of her jeans. With his thumb and forefinger he pulled it out a tossed it to the ground. She laughed slightly and put her arms down. "Now can I have a hug?" She didn't wait for an answer, just simply wrapped her arms around him. He remained still and waited for her to let go. She pulled back and looked at Michael who looked taken aback by the whole situation. "So who's this? Your boyfriend?" She laughed mockingly.
"Very funny Eron, but you of all people should know where I stand." She smiled and was about to take another step closer to him, but he put a hand out to stop her. "That doesn't mean I'm not already taken." He said quickly, halting her in her tracks. She crossed her arms and leaned back on her heels.
"Who then?"
"I'm sure you'll meet her soon. She should be at my lab by now." Myrnin replied.
"Good, I can't wait to meet her. So what trouble have you got yourself into this time?"
"I could ask you the same question?"
"Come on Myrnin, you attract trouble like a moth to a flame."
"Strange because it only ever seemed that way when I was around you." Myrnin was starting to get tired of this. He sighed; it was time to get to the point. "Amelie has allowed vampires to hunt free."
"I would've thought you'd jump right on that band wagon."
"I would, until recently. Anyways, I need your help. We need to get Amelie to change things back to the way they were."
"Sure I'll help you out. Anything for you Myrnin. And it would be so great to see Amelie again. I haven't seen my sister in so long."
