Shane's POV
After Amelie had said she would prove what she said was right she led us to the room Claire was recovering in. Though I didn't believe a word of what Amelie said I still worried, I wondered what she was going to do to Claire to get any evidence of this crazy shit.
As we walked down the hallway I looked at Michael and saw an unmistakable look of curiosity in his eyes. I couldn't believe he was believing this even in the slightest. Was I the only one who kept getting images in my head of Claire fluttering around with wings when I thought of the situation?
We finally came to Claire's room and all stepped in. Inside we found she was already awake and when she saw us she smiled. That smile quickly disappeared when she saw the looks on all of our faces. "What's wrong?"
I didn't answer her though, I was too busy rushing forward to take her in my arms and kiss her. After I looked at her face properly, she looked tired and battered and bruised. Then Amelie stepped forward. "Claire we have something we need to do."
That was when I lost my temper. "Oh give it a rest will you, just leave her alone this is ridiculous!" I yelled as I put my arms around Claire protectively, who was just sat there looking confused.
I was seriously shocked when Michael actually decided to take Amelie's side. "Shane wait, just let her do this."
"Are you serious? You're actually buying this crap because the last time I checked Claire wasn't flying around like Tinkerbell!"
"What Amelie is saying actually makes sense and you know it!"
"Guys what the hell is going on? Have you lost your minds?" Claire suddenly shouted.
I sighed before turning to her and saying as gently as possible. "Amelie thinks that you're not human."
Again there was silence for a few seconds before Claire finally managed to speak. "But-but I'm not a vampire. Anyone can tell that from a mile away."
"She doesn't mean you're a vampire."
"Then what?"
"Some kind of fairy thing that has magic powers." I realised as soon as I said that sentence how stupid it sounded.
"... Am I dreaming?"
"You see! She thinks she's dreaming, that's how pathetic this whole thing is!"
Then before I knew it I was arguing with Michael. He kept telling me to move so Amelie could do whatever she wanted to do while I kept telling him where to go. As we argued Amelie just sighed and from the corner of my eye I was aware of her picking up a glass of water of a table at the side. I didn't know what she was doing so it came as a shock when she threw it at me and Claire. "Hey!" I yelled as I brought my hands up automatically to shield my face.
About five seconds later I still had my eyes shielded but the water never hit me, yet I'd seen it heading straight for my face just a moment before. I moved my hands away to look around. I was more than shocked when I found the water floating in midair... right in front of Claire's out stretched hand. No way.
Glancing at Claire I saw the horror in her eyes, she knew just as well as everyone else did that she was the cause of the water floating above her. She pulled her hand away in shock and the water fell, causing it to splash all over the two of us. "Shit!"
The room fell silent except for the sound of Claire's panicky breaths before Eve blurted out. "Did anyone else see that?"
Everybody nodded except Claire who said. "That wasn't me."
I knew there was no point trying to find some stupid explanation for Claire's sake. "Claire... I think you did..."
A little while later
I still had my arms around Claire who still had a look of disbelieve on her face. "Isn't there any other explanation? Maybe something happened while I was a Myrnin's the other day."
"Claire, nothing else can do what you just did so just try to understand." Amelie explained as she picked up a small plant she'd brought in from a desk out in the hallway. "Concentrate on the plant, see what you can do to it."
Claire's eyebrows screwed together as she tried to focus on it. After a moment of nothing happening she said. "She, nothing happened. What did you expect? For me to make it grow or something?"
The moment she said the word grow our attention was drawn back to the plant because its leaves suddenly began to twist as they doubled in size. Claire's move dropped open at the same time as mine. "Ok, so maybe I believe you. But I still don't understand."
"Ok Claire just listen. About a thousand years ago there were creatures called nymphs on this earth, they looked exactly like humans but were more powerful than anything. Element control was the gift they all shared but some had extra gifts of there own. Unfortunately they were hunted to extinction a long time ago and I never thought I'd see one again."
"But how can I be a nym- nymp- nymph."
"A spirit nymph and I have no idea, must be hidden in your blood. Somehow the dormant part of you has woken up today."
"Why are they called spirit nymphs?"
"Because they also possessed the power to provide healing to the soul by sharing their own power. For example the last one I saw one she saved a vampires life when he had been staked, if she hadn't shared her power with him he never would have been able to recover."
I didn't know about Claire but all this information was enough to make my head explode.
Claire's POV
I realised there was no denying it, after all how could I when I'd made water float and a plant grow by a little focus of my mind. I wasn't human and that was that. So far I'd managed to take in most of the information. I could control the elements and also bring people back from the brink of death. I supposed that was pretty handy considering I lived in Morganville. But I couldn't help feeling like a freak and in each second that passed I expected Shane to move away from me and give me a look of disgust. He never moved his arms from around my waist.
It got to the point where I thought there could be no more to this news, after all how much more of a freak could I be. Amelie soon answered that question. "I've heard energy sharing can be used as a boost to the soul too, though I've never witnessed myself... Claire take Shane's hand."
I did as she said warily before she continued. "Now look deep within yourself and find the centre of your power and pass it to him."
I turned to Shane and looked in his eyes as I tried to do as she said. I concentrated and shockingly I quickly found the source she was talking about and like an electric current I urged it to move through my body, up my arm, into the tips of my fingers and out. Everyone gasped when they actually saw a sheet of white energy leave my hand and work its way into Shane's.
Shane's eyes suddenly went wide and I panicked, thinking I'd just hurt him. I was shocked when he suddenly said. "Whoa! That was just amazing, redbull officially sucks. God that just felt... I feel like..." He looked at me and smiled. "Like I wanna kiss you right now."
And that was exactly what he did as Eve called. "Whoa, Claire is a love drug. Ok I understand if what she did was awesome in a porn way or something but please save it for later."
Amelie actually looked embarrassed. "Well now I know why I've never seen it before, I didn't realise it had that kind of effect... I think its time I left."
I know that was kind of random it's just that I saw something similar in a film once and it made me laugh. Review?
