"What the hell happened here?" Needless to say, Eve was freaking out. Michaels eyes were wide as he took in the scene in front of him, trying to piece together what happened. "Claire? Are you okay?" I looked round, Oliver was still choking on the floor, the other guys I dealt with was still out cold- wait. Guys? I thought there was only one... I frowned and looked at the rest of the lab, it was pretty destroyed, tables in pieces, beakers smashed all over the floor - I don't remember doing that...I straightened my face out and formed a little smile before glancing over at Michael, "I...uhh...Yeah I think so..."

"Think so! You think so!" Oliver stood up and glared at me, "Oliver! Don't!" Amelie yelled at him but he carried on shouting at me! "You took out this entire place, nearly ripped my head off! And you think you're okay?" He sneered on the word think and took a step towards me, I gulped and took a step back, "I-I-I don't know okay!" I yelled back and he frowned and stopped moving, "You don't know?" He spoke softly this time and glanced at Amelie, "You don't remember do you?" His voice remained soft, I looked down from him and shook my head, "No, I don't...I-I remember coming in here and something felt wrong, then someone jumped on me and I threw them over my back, then you reached out to grab me. So I elbowed you, then broke your nose, - I didn't know it was you by the way, nothing personal." He rolled his eyes and nodded, "Then I-I grabbed you by the throat and held you up against the wall, I snarled at you, I-I think, and then I realised it was you. And Myrnin and Amelie came out, and then... Here we are."

Myrnin and Amelie were truly frowning now, I looked round at Eve and Michael and they looked pretty damn confused too. "Claire," Myrnin took a step closer to me, "You got here three hours ago." I felt my eyes widen and shook my head, I took a step backwards, "No! Fifteen minutes! Twenty at the most! I can't have- No! I didn't I-No! I didn't-I didn't do this!" Myrnin tried moving forward again and I backed away still stuttering. All of a sudden Oliver moved closer, and I didn't back away. I carried on trying to stutter out denials, but I looked over at the clock I'd made Myrnin put up. And saw the time.

They were right it had been over three hours since I got to the lab. I felt Oliver wrap his arms around me and I stiffened, expecting an attack. After a minute I noticed it was just a hug and relaxed myself. I loosely wrapped my arms around him and started sobbing into his chest. I could feel a rhythmic pattern on my head and realised he was stroking my hair, he started murmuring stuff to me, but I couldn't tell what he was saying. I was too distraught.

Eventually I could feel hands trying to pull me away, but I held on tighter and carried on crying. The hands kept pulling until Oliver said something like, "Please stop pulling her before she chokes me!" I felt the hands let go of me, at the same time I loosened my hold and started laughing. I backed away a step and walked into the wall, I sank down it and carried on laughing.

They all looked at me like I was insane. "I'm sorry. I just... The idea of me choking Oliver!" I dissolved into giggles again and saw Michael, Eve and Oliver catch on, they all cracked a smile and started laughing. Myrnin and Amelie still looked confused, so I managed to sober up and stop laughing,

I couldn't help the huge grin on my face though, until I remembered what had happened.

"I'm assuming you filmed it?" Oliver stopped smiling immediately and nodded, "I'll show you." I smiled and followed him through to the little room Amelie and Myrnin had come out of earlier. We walked through and I closed the door behind us, "Thanks." He turned to face me and frowned, cocking his head to the side. "For before. I just... Thanks." He smiled again, "Of course. After all you only choked me, no biggie." I smiled and laughed a little, he grinned back at me and walked over to a monitor in the corner.

Oliver tapped a few buttons and gestured me over, I saw it was at the point where I walked through the portal. Oliver rolled a chair to me and I grabbed it and sat on it after sending a small smile of thanks his way. He rolled another chair over and sat next to me, I saw the video me drop her bag and look around. Someone jumped onto her back and she threw them over her head, he was out cold the second he hit the table. She swerved around and someone came out of the shadows, I saw a change in the video me's face. "There!" Oliver looked over at me, "What?" I rewound the video and zoomed in on my face, "Watch my eyes." He frowned but leaned in for a better look anyway, I played the video and watched again. I heard Oliver's sharp intake of breath and knew he had seen what I did, he took the mouse and brought the bar up, he dragged it across and skipped to where I attacked Oliver. My back was to the camera so he switched to another angle. I leaned forward into the same position as Oliver, I saw the change come over my face again as he went to wrap his arms around me.

I was back to myself.

We looked round at each other, eyes wide. We stood up almost in exact sync and our chairs flew back, "Get them, we don't tell them what we found. I want to know if they can see it." I nodded and headed to the door. "Amelie? Myrnin?" They looked round and I tilted my head at the door and opened it wider, they exchanged a glance but walked over to me and through the door anyway. I smiled at Eve and Michael and walked backwards into the viewing room, closing the door behind me. Oliver had brought the chairs back and clipped out the two sections. We didn't tell them what to watch for, just let the scenes play. They watched and looked round at us frowning, Oliver and I looked at each other and I headed out to grab Michael and Eve.

They walked into the room looking pretty confused, Amelie and Myrnin had moved out of the chairs so they both sat down and looked at the screen. "Is this when..." Michael didn't seem to know how to finish so I just nodded and moved forward to play the first clip, their eyes widened and I grinned inwardly. Oliver had cut out the fighting, so they couldn't be shocked at that.

They saw it.

I played the second clip, Eve looked round at us, "Oh," Michael copied her action and his eyes were the size of saucers, "My," "God!" They finished together, I looked at Oliver and grinned. He grinned back and we high-fived before I moved over to the screen again to go back to the first video. I heard Oliver talking Amelie and Myrnin, "Don't worry, Claire had to show me as well." I grinned, Michael moved over to me, "What the hell did I just see Claire?" I rolled my eyes and looked over at him, " Believe me, if I knew I'd tell you. I have an idea but I don't want to influence why they see." I nodded my head at Amelie and Myrnin, Michael frowned, but nodded and moved away.

I beckoned Myrnin and Amelie over and got them to sit down, "Right, watch my eyes." Myrnin got it straight away and leaned forward to get a better look, Amelie just sat there frowning. "My eyes on the video Amelie." She nodded and mimicked Myrnin, I played the video and saw it hit Myrnin and Amelie. "What-" I cut off Amelie's question and played the other video, they looked around at me with wide eyes. "Like I said, I'm not sure but, to me, it looks like I had a complete, personality change." Oliver finished in time with me and nodded along, "A definite possibility. Though I don't know how you could have gained another personality all of a sudden..." I frowned, "Maybe it was just locked away, my becoming a vampire edged it to the surface and then everything after kept pushing it up, until the fight. When it finally broke through." Oliver tilted his head judging my explanation, "Could be a definite possibility." I smirked but Oliver carried on, "However, we have no idea what this personality is like. She's definitely more skilled and violent than you are-" Eve cut in, "You've obviously never seen Claire when she's really pissed off then, because that Claire. Plenty violent." I grinned and winked at Eve. Then I frowned and started to pace. "Claire?" I looked at Myrnin and the question was evident in his face, I frowned even more and started pacing again. Then I recalled what Eve had said, how I was plenty violent when I was...

"That's it." I whispered, "What's it?" I spun to face Oliver and held my hand up for him to give me a minute. I thought back and tried to remember how I felt when I'd seen my personality changed, and I was really pissed off! I broke out in a grin and looked back at Oliver, "My personality! An alter personality I'd already developed when I was human, like Eve said!" I looked over at Eve and saw she was frowning, "You've already seen it, just not so potent when I was human. When I got pissed it started to show through. A defensive vampiric personality, that's why it's more potent and obvious now! It's vampiric in nature, so with me as a vampire it's more in its element. It has a vampire body to control now!" I looked back at Oliver and he was grinning at me, he picked me up in a hug and spun me around, when he stopped he kept grinning at me, "Claire! You. Are. Amazing!" I grinned and laughed with him. He let me go but didn't move away. Amelie cleared her throat and I remembered there were other people in here with us.

One of whom I sort of classed as my boyfriend, not that I'd been very nice to him today though.
