Ok, in this chapter I'm going to change something. Before I said it was a curse placed on Claire's family centuries ago that allowed her to have vampire/human children. But no, I changed it. It's the same reason she can see the Draug, the bracelet with their blood in it. But of course they ran out of it…. So no Eve and Michael can't have children!
Claire's POV –
The world was like ice and I was the floating fire. I couldn't see anything, nothing at all. But it didn't matter. Nothing did, I felt at piece. I could see my mum and dad I waved to them saying goodbye, I saw Michael and Eve I waved to them too. Shane was there, I didn't want to wave to him yet I did anyways. It was a peaceful thing death, I fought it would be terrifying and cold or non-existent. Like on second you were in pain then you just wasn't. A terrifying thought, I know but most of us dream or think about death and what is going to happen once we die.
But it didn't matter anymore because well I was there and I was happy. My little candle, that was what Myrnin kept calling me in welsh, for some reason I knew that know. I would miss him desperately and I feared I may not ever see him again as a vampire he was immortal. Well I hope he knew that his little candle was shining bright up… wherever I was.
I didn't want to think what happened to my body before I died; it isn't something I want to remember my life being like. I've had so much more happy times, like when I was a child and mum and dad picked me up and were so proud when I told them different types of ideas I had of what I wanted to be. Of course they laughed at me, not in a malicious way, yet as a humours way no took a 2 year old seriously when they said they wanted to be a scientist or a doctor.
But it doesn't matter anyway; it wasn't getting colder. My little flame was blowing in the breeze.
No! No! No!
I screamed in my head as the breeze grew into a huge wind it wasn't trying to take me. I didn't want to go back there; I knew now that, that was really hell. The creatures, the death, the pain. The worst thing is really that we created all of it; we make the pain and the death. I know that death comes naturally to us all, but not when life is taken from us.
The wind tugged more on my feet now, it pulled me with it. I don't know why but I could faintly hear the sound track to Ghost in the back ground, ironic really I guess that's what I thought death would sound like. But one thing I don't understand is, I'm dead that I am certain then why am I getting pulled back down to earth? If that was where I was being pulled to?
Myrnin's POV –
We sat in the abandoned room for quite a while, I wouldn't let go of Claire. I couldn't believe she was dead. No I wouldn't believe she was dead. I could faintly detect the Glass boy still waiting behind me, he was crying. I would not cry, if I did then it would mean she was truly gone. Which she was defiantly not. I would not allow her to be. I could not lose her and my child, I had emotions yes. But even as a human they had never been as strong as when I was with her.
I stoked back a strand of hair on her face, she was so pale. So light. It burned my inner core to know what that man had done to her. I was so very fortunate that I got here before he done what he wished to do to her, it was disgusting, revolting that a man like that was even allowed to live albeit be in the presence of Claire.
It was my fault, all my fault. If I had protected her better none of this would have happened.
No! Do not blame yourself please, no. It's not your fault. I'm fine. I don't know why I am but I am.
Claire's voice echoed around my head. I looked down towards her body only to close my eyes feverishly. A shining bright light was shining off her body, it hurt my eyes.
I shook her body, hugging it close to mine. She opened her eyes slightly, how could this have happened did the Gods above choose to hand her back. The light faded away I took her in, she looked magnificent, the gasp the Glass boy made I had to say he agreed. Her skin was glowing, all wounds healed. The blood that had once stained her skin had been cleaned and a forgotten memory. Her hair had grown, now at her rib cage; it flowed like silk in a strawberry blonde colour.
(Yes, I know Claire has short brown hair, but I have to say I always pictured her as a blonde. It may be because I'm blonde yet my friend who has dark brown almost black hair, the same hair cut as Danisnotonfire. And yes she is a girl and as far as I know a straight one.)
Her curves had emphasised though it suit her quite right, her breast had at least doubled in size, she had grown a fair bit taller albeit not even as close to as tall as me.
She truly looked like an angel and for a moment I believed that she was one.
"Claire?" I whispered to her ear she moved slightly into my chest so she was lightly leaning on to me. If my heart was beating it would of stopped right there. She opened her eyes gradually looking straight into mine. I bored my eyes into hers, maybe I did die. That could be the only explanation. I don't care what the cause was for this, I only cared that I had my little Candle back.
"Myr… Myrnin… Is… Is that you? Did you die… too?" She whispered gently, I could tell she didn't have much strength not that I really expected her too.
"No, Claire. No. No-one died. You… You're alive somehow… I'm going to take you back to the lab now, so hold on as tight as you can... ok?" I whispered taking a look back at the blonde boy behind me; he nodded, and I zipped through the building and into the secret laboratory as fast as I could.

Once there I laid her down onto the soft yet firm couch in the corner, she had always despised it, I looked at her for a moment, just in sweet awe. I took in her new features and went to the kitchen to make her a meal or a 'snack'.
As I made the cheese sandwich I thought of how this could have happened, how could something like this happen? Was it the same reason Claire could have vampire spawn or some reason we didn't know? An insane thought just whipped through my mind, no that that was uncommon, yet this one was madder the most. Was Claire a… No, she couldn't be… But what if she was…
Claire, his little bird, was a Wild Power.
It all made sense now. Her blood was so sweet and pure and filled him with the sense of awe. Her power she seemed to carry with her though never knew it, why she stood up to the vampires made them see reason! Yes, she was a wild power! Amelie will be over joyed; I have one which means the others will soon follow. I suspect her friends at the Glass House will be the other chosen ones but I may be wrong.
'One from the Day World where two eyes are watching' I suspect that that is Claire, a human aka the day world. But where two eyes are watching? Well that must mean that she has day world and night world watching over her, human and vampire. This is quite good and since Bishop tried to kill her that means he does not know as he would keep her safe in case he needed her.
The walked back to Claire rested her head on my lap, grinning with utmost pleasure of the new found knowledge, letting the smell of the sandwich wake her. She moaned slightly at the smell of the sandwich, licking her lips she opened her eyes and took a bite while I was still holding it.
She seemed to have gained a far bit of strength as she sat up to hug my body a single tear running down her face. I whipped it away slowly. "Hush Claire, no need to cry."
"I missed you…" She whispered in my ear, her voice was the same albeit her body had changed. She reached up to move her hands around my waist hugging my body close to hers. "I love you. Don't ever, ever leave me again." She had stopped crying but she had sad eyes full of fear and regret.
I kissed her forehead gently, holding her close to me too and whispered "I love you, Claire. Don't worry you are never leaving my sight again." She let go staring in my eyes once more, as we both leaned in. I kissed her like it was the first time, it was strong and passionate. Full of love and caring, she moved back on the couch her back laying down, me on top of her. She kissed me constantly moving her hands all around my back making small circles. I ran my hands through her hair making sure not to put my weight on her; she pulled me down kissing me harder and harder…
*Imagination*

We lay next to each other resting in each other's arms, sweet paradise. I made her forget all of those bad memories she had with Bishop. (A/N: No not mind control the other one the dirty minded people are thinking of…) I couldn't stop grinning; she looked up at me made a questioning look so I indulged her. "I found a Wild Power." I whispered, she instantly jumped up intrigued.
"Well… Who is it?!" She ejaculated (the one where she speaks really fast not the other one… ;)) the latter, she widened her eyes, staring at me.
"What will you do if I tell you?" I whispered seductively in her ear, kissing down her jaw line.
*Imagination* again…
"Who is it?" She asked once more.
"Well evidence proves it is… you." I said staring at her, her body and facial expressions froze her eyes staring into mine. "The evidence is there, your scent, your blood, your regeneration, the fact you are still here? It is all there."
"No, I can't be… You think I would have noticed… I don't know POWER?" She stuttered.
"It is you, I am certain. You do have power Claire, it radiates off you, and you just don't seem to notice it."
"But then how are the others? Michael, Eve… Shane?" She looked down, playing with the covers.
"I think so, well One from the land of kings forgotten that would be Shane, One from the hearth which still holds the spark, most probably Eve and One from the twilight to be one with the dark that would certainly be Michael as he used to be human now is a vampire." I said matter of factually, she studied me looking for lies in my eyes. Once she found none she gave a defeated look and sighed.
"I guess that would work… But to stop Bishop doesn't that mean that one of us is going to die?" She whispered.
No, I only just got her back she isn't going to leave me again…
Few more chapters to the end, I think Thursday may be my update day, even if today is Wednesday…
