Claire's pov

3 years later

Today was my birthday, my nineteenth. It had been three years, three years since I'd left Morganville, and my friends. Amelie hadn't found me, yet. I'm sure she's still looking, and when she finds me she'll drag me back kicking and screaming, the whole way. Well she'd be in for a shock, see while I was here I'd found out something very interesting, i'm a witch, see apparently I get it from my mum's side, she just doesn't know anything about it, so while I've been here Martha and a few others have been teaching me. There's also the small fact that I was attacked by a vampire, he bit me in attempt to turn me, only problem was he didn't expect me to have a pack of werewolves and a few witches as friends. His attempt failed because... well I don't really know the exact reason, it's something to do with my witch blood reacting with whatever it is that turns you into a vampire. Anyway instead of turning into a vampire, my blood done something, so now I'm a half vampire. Yes you heard me right, I said half vampire. I still look the same, only difference is my senses are heightened and as good as if not better than a full vampire. I'm faster and stronger and heal quicker, but I can't heal as quickly as a full vampire and I can still be hurt just like a human. Yeah odd family I have now, werewolves, witches and me. So now I'm a nineteen year old half vampire, and I thought my life used to be complicated.

"Claire, c'mon, we're late, to your own party" Devon shouted

"Well I never asked for a party" I mumbled

"I heard that" he said, walking over to me "Besides it's not every day you get to celebrate you nineteenth birthday with your family, which is also a sorta celebration for you still being with us, and them not having found you"

"Yeah that is a plus" I said laughing

"Yeah, and your gonna have to deal with this every year your still with us, which will be forever. Well you'll be stuck with me forever, cause if they come for you, we'll fight for you, and if they get you they'll have to take me too, or I'll follow to get you back or stay with you" He said completely seriously.

"I know Dev, that's why you're my best friend" I said hugging him.

We walked into the house and my family all burst into a chorus of "happy birthday" Martha and Henry broke away from the group and walked over to where Devon and I were standing. Martha gave me a hug, then Henry gave me hug.

"Happy Birthday, babygirl" he said, Henry and Martha had become like my grandparents over the years, and since they'd never had a granddaughter they kinda spoiled me.

"Thank you" I said smiling at everyone

Across the room I caught Dan's eye, he gave me a small sad smile. I knew he was thinking of Leah, we both were. Leah had been Dan's girlfriend since they were fifteen, and one of my best friends. She died last year, a rouge werewolf was in the forest and he attacked her. I got to them and he took one look at me and took off. Leah died in my arms. Dan saw me as a little sister, he always had, and since Leah had died, he got that little bit more protective, almost as bad as Devon.

A couple of hours later, after many cheesy songs and bad dancing, people slowly began to leave. There was only Devon, Martha, Henry and Dan left. Dan walked up to me and pulled me into a hug.

"Happy Birthday Claire, you're finally nineteen" he said chuckling. Everyone laughed at that, so we didn't hear the door open.

"Yes, dear Claire, you're finally nineteen" a voice said from the doorway "Three years, and now we've found you"

I froze, recognising the voice. Slowly turning around, I faced her and the people I'd ran from. Standing there in the doorway was Amelie, along with Myrnin and Oliver.
