Claire's point of view
I sat on the sofa opposite Amelie in the living room, occasionally watching her on her mobile. She had said Oliver is coming and everyone else decided they had stuff to do and since this was my probmlem I had to stay. It would leave but then it would be even more my problem if she wandered off or something.
"So, um... Amelie. Will you carry on doing your work? Because you were Founder of this town and you had meetings and stuff." I said because the silence was getting slightly annoying.
"How do I do that? I don't know what the Founder does since apparently I have been sleeping." She said. I nodded slightly and shifted in my chair. Even though I have been living in Morganville for for 2 years, sitting opposite vampires still unnerved me. I was thinking of something else to say when the door knocked and I stood and went to open it.
"Hi Oliver. Come in." I said, Oliver threw me a glare then walked into the living room and shut the door. I sighed and walked upstairs to do some studying.
Oliver's point of view
"Amelie, your coming back with me." I said. Amelie looked up from her phone and stood up.
"Am I? Where are you taking me, Oliver?" Something in her voice just reminded me of that time where I would have dreamt of Amelie being mine. But then she met Sam and now she can't remember... I hated to admit it but Myrnin was right. When she did get memories back she would remember our relationship and how I took advantage. I blinked coming out of memory lane seeing Amelie was waiting for an answer.
"Myrnin thinks its best if you stay with him. But we have to think of something about your Founder duties." I said.
"Something about the duties? I have none. Did you just decide while I was sleeping I would have this? To run a town? Couldn't you or Myrnin do it?" Amelie asked. Damon, maybe I shouldn't have said that.
"You are the best leader. Myrnin is too crazy and I am not fit to do it." I said glancing at her hand and taking a spontaneous decision to take it and lead her out the door. I got as far as far as the living room door before Amelie pulled me back.
"This is-" she started but I didn't let her finish.
"It's fine, just come. Myrnin gets impatient." I said opening the door, then the front door and waited for her. After maybe a moment Amelie followed. I went out to the car and opened the door for her.
"Thank you." She said and got in. I shut the door and went to the other side.
"The Day House." I told the driver. I cast a glance at Amelie and she seemed to be thinking of something. "What is it?"
"Well I was thinking when you took my hand-"
"I know it was inappropriate. I-" Amelie held up her hand.
"Oliver, let me finish. Why did you do it? I'm not saying you should have. I just want to know." She said. Why did she have to ask that?
"I've... Liked you ever since I saw you. But I never got the chance to say how I felt back then and I thought maybe you... Felt the same." I finished, looking out of the window so I wouldn't have to see her expression. Her mind is trapped probably 100 or so years in the past so I have no idea what she felt about this.
"Well... I was going to follow I was just surprised I guess." Amelie said and the drive was silent until the limo reached the Day House. I got out first and came around and opened the car door before Amelie and silently asked her hand. She took my hand and stepped out.
"You can go now. I said to the driver and the limo disappeared around the bend. "Your friend was examining shattered glass of hen I left so God knows what he's doing now." I said leading her down the alley.
"You seem to dislike each other more than I remember." Amelie observered. I shrugged
"He irritates me to no end." I said opening the door and going downstairs. I realized I hadn't let go of her hand and let go when I reached the bottom of the stairs. "Myrnin." I called. No answer. Of course. "You call him. He llistens to you."
"Really? Well... Myrnin."
"Just feeding Bob." He said.
"Who's Bob?" Amelie asked.
"His pet he adopted." I said and thought about going back to the coffee shop. Amelie could look after herself and if Myrnin tried anything he wouldn't get far. "Well... I er, will be going now. I have to get back to the coffee shop. Paperwork awaits." I said and turned and walked back up the stairs before Amelie could say anything or Myrnin could appear.
Myrnin's point of view
After I had finished listening in on Oliver's conversation which was not hard at all and feeding Bob his lunch I went out.
"Hello dear Amelie. How was Claire and her friends?" I asked.
"They were okay. Shane, I think didn't seem comfortable around me. Eve just wouldn't talk much and looked like she wanted to get away. Claire was actually talking and she is very smart. I got that." She said.
"Yes she is. She's my assistant." I said and pushed a chair forward. "Sit here and get comfortable. I can get food for you and anything you want." I said, bringing Amelie to the chair.
"Um... Thank you. Since when we're you this helpful?" Amelie asked removing a blade I had left there. I put my hand on my chest hurt.
"I have always been very helpful." I said and wandered around the lab repositioning books and replacement glass beakers. May I use your telephone? I seemed to have broken mine. Humans make them so delicate."
"I would have thought these would be bigger. They look so small you could lose them." Amelie said taking her telephone out which had one button at the bottom. I took and looked for the other buttons. There was one at the top, two at the side and a bit on the front.
"How do you use this?" I asked. Amelie shrugged.
"I have no idea." I sighed and pressed the big button on the front and the telephone lit up. I pressed the screen and it went to another screen. I pressed the person looking figure on an orange square, which I guessed were where you keep people you want to communicate with. I saw Claire at the top and pressed on her name then then it made a repetitive noise.
"Is it supposed to do that?" I asked. Amelie shrugged again and I sighed. The sound stopped and I think Claire's voice came on.
"Hello?"
"Is this Claire?" I asked, proud that I had figured out a button less telephone.
"Myrnin what is it? Is something wrong with Amelie?" She asked.
"Of course not. I want you to come to work we need to figure you little device." I said, looking at the memory device on the lab table.
"I'm studying for an exam here. Thanks to you-" I sighed.
"Well ignored that and come here. I think the town's residents not finding out the Founder has forgotten she is the Founder is more important. Because if they do I am sure myself and Oliver will not support you since you was the one to press the button and start this in the first place." I said and pressed the red button and Claire's voice disappeared.
"About what you said Myrnin." Amelie said. I looked to her and smiled.
"Yes?"
"You drugged me and I did not wake up for a very long time." Amelie said. Oh...
"Well you see I had gotten quite attached to... Someone who you killed so to stop you from killing their family I decided to try something that would just put you to sleep for a little while." I said, maybe completely making it all up.
"Who did I want dead? I don't killing anyone you liked." Amelie said. I shrugged feigning sadness.
"You never asked," I sniffed. "I didn't get her name, I never knew her long." Amelie stared at me and even in her current mind state she knew I was pretending.
"Myrnin, you are not sad. So don't put on a display." She said. I sighed.
"Where is Claire?" I said walking around. A few seconds after I had said it a heartbeat and footsteps were heard. Claire arrived at the bottom.
"I hate you. Don't think I forgot what you said on the phone." She said. I shrugged, not bothered.
"I didn't think you would. Exams can wait." I said and led her over to the table with his little machine on. "Find a reverse button. Myself and Amelie will be bonding." I said taking Amelie's arm.
"We don't need bonding." Amelie said but I shushed her managed to drag her out.
"Myrnin!" Claire said. I rolled my eyes.
"You'll fine. Just try not to set a fire or leave anyone in. And if they are vampires use your mind or die quietly." I said and reached the top of the stairs and closed the door.
Sorry about the delay, but no ideas for this chapter! D: But thanks to Dangerous Dream/ABalletBun I have an idea now!
