Claire's point of view
The phone rang and rang. Come on, come on I thought. He a flipping vampire he should be able to hear a phone ringing.
"Claire, sorry I couldn't find the telephone." Myrnin said and I was actually surprised. I thought he had broken this one like the rest he had.
"Amelie doesn't believe what I'm saying and she saying she doesn't believe you either. Is her memory coming back?" I asked. I just wanted to get an answer and didn't correct him on saying telephone instead of phone or mobile.
"You shouldn't worry so much of course her memory isn't coming, how long has it been? Anyway you just have to make more convincing stories and Amelie doesn't believe most of the things I say. Now I have to get back and take Oliver's mind off getting Amelie to love him now her memories are gone. Bye!" Myrnin said and hung up. I sighed and sat against the wall.
"Claire?" Amelie called. I got up and went downstairs.
"Why are worried about my memory coming back?" She asked. I froze and my mind went blank for a second. Of course you idiot, I thought. She's a vampire and you were only on the landing.
"Um... No reason it's just that Myrnin did something and he doesn't want you to remember it." I said.
"You seem to pin a lot of blame on Myrnin. You haven't done anything you don't want me to remember?" Amelie asked. I shook my head. I looked out of the window and I was so relieved to see Shane and Eve coming back in Eve's car.
"They are Shane and Eve. Shane's my boyfriend and Eve's my friend." I said. Amelie didn't say anything just watched them.
"I am supposed to know them?" She asked.
"Well... Sort of." I said. The door opened and Shane came and stopped when he saw Amelie.
"Hello Shane. Claire was telling me all about you." She said. Even though I had told Shane Amelie couldn't remember he still found it hard being near her since she had almost decapitated him. Eve came in next to see who was here.
"Uh, hi Amelie. What are doing here?" She asked.
"Claire brought me here. She thought it would be a good idea for me to get to know you." Amelie said. Eve gave me a look that said great idea. Sarcastically.
"Michael would be here later or something. He's a musician and he sometimes plays at Common Grounds." I said.
"That's nice." Amelie said, totally not interested.
"Would you like something to drink or... Eat?" I asked.
"No thank you." She said. Shane disappeared and I heard the fridge open and close the microwave turn on. "What is that noise?"
"Oh it's just the microwave. It heats food by directing micro waves and... well it heats the food." I said, not sure she would get my scientific talk.
"A microwave? You have one of them? What year is this?" Amelie asked.
"Um... 2001?" I said. Eve elbowed me.
"2014, miss." She said. Amelie stood up and looked outside.
"How can it be that year? I was in Paris 1914 with Myrnin and I have never met any of you." She said.
"Well um yes but Myrnin drugged you, he was testing something and he couldn't wake you up for a hundred years." I said, trying to calm her down.
"You were not alive 100 years ago. Neither were you, Eve or Claire's boyfriend." She said. I swallowed, nerves building up.
"Well, when we met Myrnin told me to tell you what happened." I said.
"When was this?" Amelie asked.
"A year ago...?" I said. The microwave beeper that it finished and a phone vibrated. Amelie looked around and picked it up out of her pocket.
"What's this and why does it say Oliver?" She asked.
"It a mobile phone. Like a telephone but humans upgraded them." I said. I took the phone off her, quite quickly so She couldn't bite me or anything and pressed the green connect button.
"Hello?" I said.
"Where's Amelie?" Oliver asked.
"Well she's freaking out right now because Eve told her what year it is was and that we have microwaves and mobile phones." I said.
"So you have done something to her mind?" Oliver said and I heard a growl.
"Well no, not really... Um... She's fine really." I said. Amelie took the phone out of my hand and held it to her ear.
"Oliver? Where are you?" She asked. I went into the kitchen and saw Shane standing by the sink.
"What are you doing? I think I came really close to being killed today." I said.
"Why did you have to bring her here? What smart idea was that?" Shane asked.
"It wasn't my idea! Myrnin just said it would be good to come here then he pushed us out. He said on the phone it was to stop Oliver trying his luck with her." I said.
"Well now because of you and Eve you have have her freaking out about the year and everything." Shane said.
"I'm sorry, but you going to be killed! And you hadn't done anything!" I said. Shane sighed and came forward to hug me.
"Yeah and thanks for that. But couldn't you have brought her somewhere else? It's weird you know?" Shane asked. I nodded.
"She didn't seem interested in going anywhere else, and it wasn't like I could drag her to Common Grounds or something." I said.
"Yeah I know. Let's get this bag to to the Queen then leave her to figure stuff out." He said.
"Yeah that wouldn't be the best idea. I'm the one assigned to her I guess so I stay with her." I said and took the warm, going on hot, bag of red juice to the living room.
Myrnin's point of view
So when Claire and Amelie left Oliver started pacing around.
"Why are pacing so much? You are going to wear out the floor." I said flicking through a book which had seen better days.
"You knew and you didn't tell me?" Oliver asked. I sighed.
"Well it was worth a try. One doesn't know how dim minded one is until they try. You could've been completely oblivious." I said. The book disappeared from from my hands and went flying across the room.
"This isn't a joke, you idiot. She doesn't know she's the Founder and how knows how long until the her memory comes back?" Oliver said.
"Oh wow, so you finally come to the fact that you would be a terrible leader of this town?" I said, picking up another book.
"No... It's just that... She doesn't remember me that well." He said. I stopped flicking through the book when I realized what he was getting at.
"So, uh, you want her to get her memory back so you two can be love birds again. Isn't that sweet? Or you could try making her fall in love with you now..." Oh dear, I did it again. I really hope he doesn't consider that option.
"Don't be stupid."
"It's a terrible idea. Sooner or later she will get her memory back and she will remember she partially hates or dislikes you and your effort would have been in vain as she will rightfully think you have taken advantage of her." I said, before Oliver could get a word out. The thought of her and Olly together makes me shiver. Ick.
"What if she never does? Whatever Claire did what if it's not reversible?" Oliver asked. I smiled.
"It's so nice of you to have an interest in our fair lady. Maybe a year ago you would have wanted her dead or taken her position and now you are so in love with her." I said. Holly just gave me that mean look Claire does when she doesn't agree with me on something.
"Just shut up. Do you have any ideas? You helped her make the stupid thing." Oliver said. I shrugged.
"Why would you presume she made it here?" I asked flicking the pages back and forth.
"Well obviously she didn't make it anywhere else." He said.
"Well then, she made it here while I wasn't around. How's that?" I said. Oliver pinned me pinned me against the wall by my neck which is a rather uncomfortable and nauseating since I have no idea where his hands have been.
"Just. Answer. The. Question. Did she make it here or not?" He asked, very close to my face.
"Well... I did just answer that question. Quite marvellous that child..." I said and seeing Oliver's eyes turn red I smirked and reached out and snapped the wrist holding me. Oliver yelled and dropped me and I wiped my neck with my sleeve which I then wiped on the couch. Ugh, Oliver germs.
"Your insane." Oliver said. I shrugged.
"That has been established." I said.
"Why would you let her create something that wipes minds?" Olly asked.
"Well she wouldn't have made it if I did not approve. The setting can be adjusted and the switch that allows for reversal to be on or off. It would be quite useful though I wouldn't have liked the first test patient to be Amelie." I said.
"So it can be reversed? Where's the damned thing then?" Oliver asked. I shrugged.
"Amelie learned of it and took it off her and then Claire must have got hold of it, then I had it but I think I left it somewhere or misplaced it... So yes, the whereabouts I cannot answer." I said. Oliver growled and I smirked. I so do love winding him up. I don't know what I would do if he wasn't here. I wouldn't miss him, of course not, I would just have no-one to tease.
Just then a telephone made a ringing sound. I looked around the lab. I hear it it coming from somewhere. I pushed Oliver aside and knocked over some breakers which shattered and some books then it heard on it the floor I picked it up and pressed the green button like Claire had shown me.
"Claire! Sorry I couldn't find the telephone." I said.
"Amelie doesn't believe what I'm saying and she saying she doesn't believe you either. Is her memory coming back?" Claire asked. I sighed. Humans worry so much, it's unbelievable.
You shouldn't worry so much of course her memory isn't coming, how long has it been? Anyway you just have to make more convincing stories and Amelie doesn't believe most of the things I say. Now I have to get back and take Oliver's mind off getting Amelie to love him now her memories are gone. Bye!" I said and pressed the red button.
"Is the device with her?" Oliver asked.
"I don't know." I said.
"Your useless." Oliver said and paced again.
"Well then I am no use to you." I said, picking up a shard of glass from the floor and twisting it around. There are so many shapes in glass, it's amazing.
Oliver's telephone rang next. "Your telephone is making that ringing noise." I said, helpfully.
"Well done. And it's a phone." Oliver said.
"Getting with the modern language now are we?" I asked smiling. I could hear little Claire on the end of the line but her worries didn't interest me as much as this piece of glass. I put it under the microscope and looked through the lens.
"Fascinating..." I said to myself.
"I'm in Myrnin's lab. Come back." Oliver said, I looked up.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing." Oliver said and paced again and disappeared up the stairs. I sighed and went back to marvelling at the piece of glass.
Okay so this chapter is kinda long but I hope you like it! What should happen next? Oliver finds the device? Something happens with Amelie?
Review!
