Claire's POV

I wake up to someone pushing me not-very-gently.

"Wake up, you idiot child!" Amelie's voice came through my sleepy mind.

I woke up.

"What time is it, babe?" I forgot im not in bed with Shane.

"Claire wake up!" Amelie says loudly.

I wake up.

"Oh, shit!" I accidently swear, something Amelie isn't a big fan on.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Please don't swear" Amelie chastises me.

"What time is it?" I ask, still a little dazed.

"Never mind that. Do you know how worried I've been? I thought you were killed. Don't ever sleep here gain, without telling me. Now come on you are not spending the night here." Amelie said.

I sigh. Then I follow her out of the lab and back to Amelie's house.

"Amelie, can we get a dog?" I ask. I was wondering what it would be like having a dog in Morganville.

Amelie looked up, and there's slight shock on her face.

"You have got to be joking. Of course not" Amelie says and goes back to the work. Rejected, annoying inner voice said.

"Why not? We could call him Amelia." I say before realizing Amelia is kinda close to Amelie.

Amelie look up again.

"No because you won't be here for much longer and i've got work to do and Amelia is close to my name, which I wouldn't like one bit." Amelie and again put her attention on the work.

"Why don't you use a computer? Then it would be much faster." I say changing the subject.

Amelie rests her head on her hand and looks up again.

"Why would I want to do that? I don't have a use for technology, too many people rely on it. I find more efficient using a pen then a keyboard and screen" Amelie said and again turns her attention to her work.

I get up and fetch my laptop i had got from my parents house. I switch it on, and once it had warmed up, I switched the background to blank so Amelie would have nothing to comment on (other than the blank background) and take it into Amelie's office. Then I take the pen from her hand and put the laptop in front of her.

"Claire give me my pen and get your computer off my desk." Amelie showing she isn't one bit amused.

"Amelie, just try out a laptop. It's much faster and you don't have to worry about running out of ink" I said and hiding her pen behind my back.

"I'm not trying it out. Now give me my pen back and get your computer-" Amelie gets cut off by me.

"Laptop" I correct her.

"Laptop off my desk, or I will throw it against the wall." Amelie said. She looks very pissed off.

"Please try it." I said and getting my laptop off before Amelie can damage it.

"I will ask one more time. Give. Me. My. Pen. Back." Amelie says through her teeth. she barely holding on to her temper.

"Try out the laptop and I will give it you back." I bargain. That will not go down well.

Amelie stood up and walked over to me. I back away seeing the pissed off expression on her face.

"Get here now or I swear you will regret it." Amelie threatens. Her eyes turn red and from where i'm standing (almost near the door) her fangs are down.

A brainwave came. Since my parents are always going on about me having a laptop. So if I trash this one then I will get another one.

"Catch!" I say as I throw my laptop and a single sofa at Amelie and run (vampire speed) out the door. Luckily it's night so I will have no trouble with the sun.

"Claire! Get back here right now!" Amelie shouts and I hear a thundering crash. probably the sofa.

"I run in the direction of Myrnin's lab, then stop thinking she will expect me to go there. So I change direction and head to Common Grounds.

Theres a few people still there, mostly vampires. I ignore them and head to Oliver's office. I go in without knocking.

"Oliver, could you hold back a pissed off Amelie?" I said. cos once she gets her I need someone to hold her back I can make my escape...or do something else. Still thinking.

"What have you done this time, trouble-maker?" Oliver asks. I'm a little out of breath, which is weird since vampire aren't usually out of breath and probably shows how un-fit I am.

"Amelie might kill me if she finds me...soo do u have anywhere I can hide or can you hold her while I escape?" I ask. I already know what the answer is.

Oliver laughs. bitch, i thought.

"Of course not. and there's no-where to hide." Oliver un-helpfully says. I sigh and about to go back into the cafe when the door crashes open and a very angry Amelie comes through. I re-think my plan. I go back into Oliver's office, open the window and jump out. Then I run to Myrnin's place.

"Myrnin! where are you?" I ran at human speed most of the way and i'm exhausted. Now I see why vampires use vamp speed instead of human speed.

I enter the lab and collapse on a chair. Jeez I haven't been this exhausted since I helped Myrnin built the machine since the other broke.

"I hope you haven't trailed your scent here. I almost got killed because of you" Myrnin says, coming out of the bathroom..

"Sorry. Amelie...Amelie should..." I trail off. I am REALLY exhausted. "Amelie should learn to control her temper." I finish in one breath.

Before Myrnin can reply there is a loud crash.

"CLAIRE! where are you? If you run away form me one last time I SWEAR it will be the last thing you do!" Amelie loud voice trails down. The bastard Oliver must have told her where i've gone.

Shit.

Amelie comes down and looks seriously pissed. Her eyes really red, some parts of her skin are healing and her fangs are down. Drastic measures. I thought of throwing Myrnin but no way in hell is that going to happen. So I throw a very heavy lab table at her and leg it up the stairs and to... some where. Still thinking.

I stand in the middle of the street like an idiot, waiting to be killed by Amelie.

"Claire, how nice of you to wait for me." Amelie said quietly.

I spun round. Amelie wasn't smiling, her eyes are red and no doubt the fangs are down.

"erm I-I...I just came out to get fresh air. Not run away from you. I'll walk away till im about 30 metres away from you then we can talk." I said. You do know she's not going to believe any of this? Inner voice said. I bit my lip. Amelie tilted her head slightly.

"Funny how you can injure me and run away but you are so bad at lying. Now for your punishment." Amelie said.

"Can you at least tell me what the punishment is please? I promise I won't run away." My gaze went over to a heavy looking bench thankfully not cemented to the ground.

"No. Let it be a surprise. You'll thank me." Amelie smiled just a tiny bit. I would run now if I were you. Unless you want to find out what the punishment is. inner voice said.

So I made up my mind. I would grab the bench and throw it at Amelie, then I would leg it to...erm...the glass house.

Amelie had a very tight grip on my arm. I grabbed the bench and she grabbed its leg and threw the bench away. I grabbed it again and threw it at her. She let out a scream. that is going to hurt in the morning, i thought. Then I legged it. I'd only gone a few meters when I hear a growl and am thrown to the floor. Amelie's hand clamps down on my throat and she leans down to bite me when she thrown off by Michael.

"Come on Claire." Michael said and lifting me up and running back to the glass house.

I'm yanked back into an ally and a hand is clamped over my mouth. Amelie strokes my hair hard enough to break my skull, if I were human.

"Nice Claire. This is what happens to people who act the way you do. Now keep still. This won't hurt." Amelie says. Then she bends my head back and biting down and at the same time tracing a stake across my body and then she set it on fire and burned me.

"Have a nice painful death. I hope you will enjoy it." Amelie says and runs off in the direction of her house.

When I woke I am surprised to find i'm in Amelie's house. She had tried to kill me and now she or someone else must have extinguished the flames and brought me here. I stand up and walk towards to door. I a little dizzy but doesn't matter.

"Amelie? Where are you?" I asked and realized I should have kept quiet.

"Down here, little Claire." Amelie voice came from her office. I walk down the stairs and cautously open the door and step inside. Amelie is leaning in front of her desk and when she notices me she walks towards and grabs my hair painfully and pulls it back. I barely manage to keep back a scream.

"You are in my care. You are not to dis-obey ever. Do so again and I shall make sure everyone keeps you out on the streets and maybe I shall make you human coloured so the vampires will feed on you." Amelie says quietly in my ear.

"You'll regret it. You keep saying that every time I annoy you" I said trying to keep a scream from escaping.

Amelie smiles and strokes my hair hard, like she did in the alley.

"But little Claire, I have grown weary of you. I shall not regret it as I will have Myrnin make a clone of you so no-one will miss you. He took a blood sample while you were sleeping. Now you have 2 options: either you obey me or I send you out on the streets for a vampire free drink. What shall it be?" Amelie asked. She pulled my hair tighter and a scream escaped. Amelie dropped a mint into my mouth and I choked. She bent my head down still holding my hair till it came out.

"Never open your mouth unless I tell you to." Amelie says. She's evil, I thought.

"Let go of me! Please?" I ask.

"No" Amelie says simply. I pull Amelie's pale hair. She bares her fangs and throws me to the floor. Michael comes in and punches Amelie in the face, then grabs the other sofa and throws it on top of her. Then he grabs me and throws me over his shoulder then runs off.

Amelie's P.O.V

That girl shall pay. She will learn never to throw furniture and pull my hair. I push the heavy sofa off me and get up. I look at myself in the mirror. My left is paler then the right one where Michael punched me. I take a deep breath to steady myself then grab a comb and brush my messed up hair. I smooth it out then head outside to look for Claire.

I go to the Glass House and knock on the door.

Michael opens the door.

"What do you want Amelie? Your not getting at Claire so just get that idea out of your head" Michael and was about to close the door, when I push it open with one hand.

"I would like to speak to Claire. Privately please. I promise I won't kill her" I said. Micahel sighed but closed the door. I bend my head back and sigh loudly. Then using all of my strength I break open the door. I walk in and go in search of the girl that needs to pay.

Claire's P.O.V

I was in Eve's bedroom lookig through her music and listening when the doorbell rang. I am usually the first one to answer it but I held back this time thinking it would be Amelie. A short while later I hear the door close and someone go into the living room. I go back to the music and about to switch on Rihanna's new song when I hear a crash. I jump off Eve's bed and go to look who it is. Big mistake. It's Amelie and she's coming upstairs.
