Morley's point of view

"Morley!" One of the vampires that like to accompany me said. I looked up from reading a letter. "What?"

"There's a lady outside to see you. She's from Morganville." He said. I looked at him expectantly.

"Well? Who is it?"

"She said you would know her. She wouldn't give her name." He said, then walked out of the room. I sighed and put the letter from Mrs Grant back in the envelope and put it in the drawer, closing it. Mrs Grant was out of Blacke for a while, something to do with finding more people.

I went outside and standing in the shade of the porch, I saw a white-blond petite woman standing underneath a shelter of some kind. She saw and appeared in front of me.

"Amelie."

"Morley. So nice to see you. I didn't know you owned a town. This is your town right?" She asked, pulling back her good. I frowned. Something is off. Amelie never appears and when she does, she always has an entourage of bodyguards following her. She is alone.

"Are you alright?" I asked. Amelie nodded.

"Yes. Well, no. I don't know. I was in Paris, with Myrnin and now I'm here and the Founder of Morganville. I can't remember what year it was but that town did not exist. I know it." Amelie said. What on Earth is she talking about? I thought

"Um... Come in. Would you like something to drink?" I asked. The least I could do is offer hospitality. She has obviously suffered some head injury or something. Amelie smiled, nods and walks in. I take her to the room I was in, pulling up a chair. She sat down and looked around.

"Jonathan! Get this lady something to drink." I said to a guy walking past. He nodded and left.

"So... Amelie. You don't remember Morganville?"

"I don't remember this place. Claire said she made this machine, with Myrnin. She said it can alter your memory or take it away. I was going to kill her lover so she used the machine on me. I could tell they were going to use it on me again." Amelie explained.

"Wait. When did this happen?"

"2 weeks ago." Amelie replied.

"Why has it taken this long? Are they doing some sort of experiment?" I asked, hoping the answer was no. That Myrnin guy, I never trusted him. He was not sane at the best of times and I don't do good with those people or vampires.

Amelie shook her head. "It got broke. Claire was fixing it. Now it's nearly in working order and she's going to use it on me. Or Oliver will find out and use it on me."

"Why are you... Why don't you want that to happen?" I asked, rephrasing my first question. Jonathon came in with two cups of blood and gave one to Amelie and one to me.

"Thank you." Amelie said. Jonathon nodded and left. Amelie took a breath. "I like myself... This way. Claire, Oliver and Myrnin said that before the machine, I never visited Myrnin much and Oliver is in love with me but it has been a little awkward and Claire says that I... I don't know. I am just nicer now. When I found out about the machine being almost fixed, I just got these thoughts." Amelie sipped her drink.

"What thoughts?" I asked, clearing my throat and drank mine.

"I had to get out. Go somewhere, where no-one can find me. So they won't make go back." She said. I smiled. "What?"

"No-one can make you do anything. Your older than any vampire left alive today. You have a strange power that you sometimes use on people and vampires. Your still stubborn and will always be. If you don't want to go back, no-one can make you."

Amelie was quiet for a few minutes maybe more then nodded. "I guess your right." She sighed and rubbed her head. "It's just... They wouldn't stop. Those thoughts."

"Have they stopped now?" I asked. Amelie nodded.

"Does Oliver know this place?" She asked. I thought about that for a moment. Then I sighed. I found I couldn't lie to her.

"Yes. He came here a few times before." Amelie froze for a moment then nodded.

"Well, it's not very safe here now, is it?" She asked herself and drank the rest of her drink and stood up.

"Wait. Where are you going?"

"Um... I don't know. I was looking for somewhere to stay and found this place. Then a vampire greeted me, which I thought was strange." Amelie said. She pulled up her hood and walked out. I followed her.

"You have to go back to Morganville." I said.

"That's where I'm going. I just need a little... Break I guess."

"You can't take a break from being the Founder. You built that town from scratch and the humans tend to get out of control if your not there." I explained and grabbed her arm, stopping her in front of the door.

"I just... I know no-one can make me, but Oliver is teaching me everything from before and I didn't do too well in a meeting. Two humans got suspicious and now I think Oliver is working to stop them worrying. What I'm saying is, I can't do the job as good as before since I don't remember a thing about that town. But I don't want to go back. Claire and Myrnin are certain of that." Amelie explained.

"Why don't with you?" I asked. "Just to make sure they don't knock you out and do it that way, I guess." I said. Amelie smiled.

"They wouldn't get near enough to me to do that. But if it will make you feel better." She said. I nodded. Suddenly a car was heard and it sped into the drive and crashed into the shelter thing. Amelie froze then disappeared, giving me no time to tighten my grip.

"Amelie!"

Claire's point of view

"Myrnin, stop pressing the buttons! Your going to break the radio!" I said, once again, slapping his hand away. He somehow found the radio intensely fascinating and kept pressing the buttons and repeating what the radio person said. It was getting really annoying.

"Well we, or you, have been driving for heaven knows how long, how am I supposed to entertain myself?"

"I don't know but, leave the radio alone!" I said, pushing his hand away, yet again. Myrnin sighs and laid his on the passenger window. When we came up to the town of Blacke, Myrnin grabbed the wheel and turned it sharply to the left. I screamed and ducked as the car drove forward and crashed into something.

I got up when I was sure nothing was going to fall on me. I was going to yell at Myrnin about what the HELL he was doing but he was already gone. I scooted across and got out his side and walked - sneakily - into a large house.

"Amelie! Amelie where are you? I'm not here to take you back to Oliver if that's what your worried about!" Myrnin called. He came out of one of the rooms.

"Myrnin! What the HELL were you doing?! You could have killed me!" I yelled at Myrnin, hitting him as hard as I could, but I bet he didn't feel it, or it didn't hurt.

"I saw Amelie." He said, taking my arm. "She was with Morley which is good because she only met him a few times before Morganville. I think."

"It still doesn't excuse you from crashing the car! It isn't mine, how am I supposed to get back?"

Myrnin sighed. "I think our biggest problem right now is finding Amelie and helping her with whatever she needs. Not your transportation." Myrnin said, dragging me because I didn't keep up.

"But- Ow! Myr-" His hand closed over my mouth.

"You have never been so loud. Now hush." he said and dragged me along. I glared at him all way.

Myrnin's Point of View

I wish humans had an off switch sometimes. Claire's complaining about a car is really starting to get quite annoying.

"Myrnin listen to me! The car-" I covered her mouth again. I would never be able to find Amelie with Claire announcing our location every few seconds. I went into a room and left Claire there then left and locked the door. There, now I could find her in peace.

I walked through the corridors, listening for any sound.

"Amelie?" I called, looking in rooms.

"What do you want?" I turned around.

"Ah, Morley how pleasant to see you. Where's Amelie?"

"Why should I tell you? From what I gathered your the cause of all this." I shrugged.

"Well, Claire built the machine. I am not the original source of the problem." I said. A door clicked open and Amelie stepped out.

"I'm sorry for not staying. I just... Don't want to go back in there." I nodded.

"Then Claire won't use the machine on you. And I will make sure Oliver doesn't. Just come back. You don't know if Oliver has any experience in controlling a town." I said, hoping she would accept my proposal.

Amelie sighed. "Fine. But I do not have any controlling a town experience." I smiled.

"Of course. Come with me, my Lady."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Morley." Amelie said and Morley nodded.

"Anytime." He said, kissing her hand. I sighed and took Amelie's arm, slightly dragging her away. I took her out to a different car, as the other one was crashed.

I turned on the car and after several tries at reversing and getting to the road, I made it.

"You really are a bad driver." Amelie said. I sighed dramatically.

"Of course I'm not! I just need some time to get used to it." I said, going faster. I wanted to get back to town quickly.

"Myrnin?" Amelie asked after a while.

"Yes my dear?"

"Did you have someone with you?" She asked. I thought and remembered Claire.

"Um... No."

LOL. So very sorry this chapter took a while D: I hope it was good and any ideas put them in your review

Review and Thanks!
