Chapter 2

We went to the secret room in the Glass House to discuss what the hell we were going to do.

"Well until the idiot Myrnin sorts out the machine we will just have to live each others lives." Amelie in my body said sitting down on the couch. "Which sadly means you will have to go to the meeting and try your best to impersonate me."

"And you're going to have to pretend to be me." I said. "And you can't be ladylike and everything cos I don't do that. Oh and Shane will kiss you." I said, feeling a little down on that. Amelie glared at me. "Stop looking at me like that! I can't help he's my boyfriend."

"Well it was your idea that I come along and assist in this experiment. So it is your fault." She said. "Anyway I am not kissing Mr Collins or doing anything intimate. I might just tell them." She said expecting my fingernails. "Also do you have a manicure kit? You're in serious need of one."

"We're getting off topic. You can't tell anyone. I'm pretty sure I can pull you off. I spend enough time around you right?" I asked. Amelie shrugged. "Also you can eat human food and drink water. So you get to be human until Myrnin fixes the machine." I said, knowing that Amelie didn't want to be a vampire and she could have a go at being human again.

"Probably. But you will have to drink blood and watch how tight you grab things or people. I am stronger than vampires so do be aware of my strength." Amelie said. I nodded. I looked at my hand which is pearly white and flawless. It still felt unreal and weird to believe that I am in the Founder's body. "Now there is 20 minutes to the meeting so you had better get going." She said.

"Fine but try to act like me. And don't be ladylike or anything… "I said. Amelie nodded.

"Alright. Now leave. Now." She said. I nodded and went down the stairs. Outside Amelie had arranged for the car to pick me up here and take me to Founder's Square. I just hope it all goes well.

Amelie's POV

Right. Pretending to be Claire can't be that hard. I have observed lots of children's behaviour in the University so this shouldn't be too hard. I got up and went down the stairs and out the door. I easily found Claire's as I have been here before. I went to her wardrobe and looked though her clothes.

"You really need to shopping, Claire." I said to myself.

"Hey Claire." I turned around. I am used to my very sensitive hearing so it took a few seconds to here him. Of course Claire has not deafened herself on loud music like some children, but it got some getting used to.

"Hi, Shane." I said. "I'm just looking for something to wear."

"Right. Well Michael's downstairs having a go at making tacos so I thought we could do something." He said.

"Like what?" I asked.

"I don't know. I was hoping you would fill it in for me." He said. I scoured the child's mind for whatever they did but came up blank. I guess my mind has come with me in Claire's body. Idiot Myrnin.

"Um well… We could go out shopping for clothes. I would like some new clothes." I said. Shane looked at me a little strange.

"Um… Well I was suggesting we could make out. It passes the time." He said. I shook my head.

"Why don't you play with your game?" I asked. I had seen It when I had gone up the secret room.

"I got bored. And anyway I want to spend some time with you. Are you alright Claire? Your not usually like this." He said.

"I am fine. I have to go and see then go to my classes." I said giving up on something to wear and going out. Downstairs Michael is waiting for the food to cook.

"Hello Michael." I said.

"Hey CB." He said. Is that what they call her?

"May I have something to eat?" I asked. Michael glanced up at me from his phone.

"Umm yeah sure." He said. I went to the fridge and picked a yogurt. I got a spoon and went into the living room. There last occupant Eve I think is sitting watching the TV. I still don't forgive her for hitting me at their wedding but I am not in my own body at the moment so I must hold off any violent actions I had planned.

"Hey CB. OMG Oliver is being such a dick lately." She said. I sighed. I do not like words like that. I took a spoonful of yogurt. It tastes strange. I swallowed.

"Has he now?" I asked.

"Monica came in and she is being such a… Hey chill Claire." She said at the look I gave her. I do not want to listen to her obscene (bad) language. Anyway she is being so annoying like more annoying than last time. And Oliver does nothing about it even though he is basically staring at her. Gosh someone should stake him."

"Ye s I think so." I said. I had almost finished the yogurt and I quite like the feeling of being full. I took a sip of water out of a water bottle that had not yet been opened and felt refreshed. "This is nice." I said quietly to myself.

"You say something CB?" Eve asked. I shook my head.

"Want to go shopping? I think I need some more clothes." I said.

"Sure! I was wondering when you'd take my advice." She said.

"Well I have been thinking and I would like some more clothes." I said. "I will just go and get money." I went into the kitchen and put the yogurt pot in the bin then went upstairs and looked around to see where Claire kept her money.

"Come on CB!" Eve called up.

"I am just looking." I called back down. I gave up looking and sat down on her bed. I pulled out my- well her phone and texted her.

Where do you keep your money? I am going shopping. You need some more clothes.

Amelie

It didn't take long for her to reply back.

No! I don't need anymore clothes and I am saving up my money for something.

I sighed.

Claire you need some more clothes. Tell me where your money is so I can only take a little bit. If not then I will just search your room until I find it and then I will take all of it.

I sighed and leaned back on the bed.

Only take $20.

Claire

I rolled my eyes.

I will need more than that.

I waited then she finally replied back.

Take $40 then. But no more. And it's on top of my wardrobe.

I got her chair from her desk to stand on and retrieved her money tin. I took out $60 as clothes are a bit more expensive than that. Actually I took a bit more as you can never be sure of the prices. In the end I ended up taking $110. She won't mind. I put the tin back on the wardrobe and put the chair back under the desk. I like tidy rooms.

Downstairs I retrieved the coat and followed Eve outside. My skin doesn't burn or turn red. In fact it feels quite warm. I think I like being human. Also I had been listening to my – Claire's heartbeat. So soothing.

We went to the clothes shop. We went a lot of time in there and I spent $109. $40 wouldn't have been enough for even a few tops in this shop.

We went home and I had my first meal with there house's occupants and felt full and enjoyed the water. I don't think I am ready to go back to my own body If Myrnin is true to his word.

Please tell me what you think. Leave a review they are much appreciated. I'll give you a cookie :) Also I will be doing Claire's experience as The Founder at the meeting :)
