Claire's point of view
I was at home, watching TV, with Shane upstairs sleeping, as he didn't get much last night and Eve and Michael out working or something. The front door knocked and watching the last part of the movie, Jurassic Park, I got up and opened the door.
"The Founder wants to see you. Don't be late." Gerard said.
"I'm, okay. I'll just write a note." I said, going into the kitchen and writing a note on a piece of paper saying the Founder wanted me. Then I got my coat and followed Gerard outside. I got in the car and Gerard drove to Founder's Square and parked. I got out and followed him into the building and up the stairs then down the corridor. My nerves grew with every step. Did she remember anything from before?
Gerard got to the door of Amelie's office and opened it, waving me in. I walked and he closed the door behind me. Amelie was sorting out papers on her desk and looked up.
"Claire, hello." She said. I looked around and saw someone's leg sticking out from under a curtain. I gasp and covered my mouth trying not scream. Amelie followed my gaze then looked back at me. "Don't worry about him. It's only so we can talk in peace."
"O-Okay t-then." I stammered out.
Amelie brought a seat from over by the door and gestured for me to sit. I did. The machine had obviously worked then. The other Amelie wouldn't have a possibly dead person or staked vampire in the office. Amelie sat down behind the desk.
"Now then. Myrnin said your the cause of the gaps in my memory. Care to elaborate?"
"Um..." I began. Did the machine work? "Well... this was a while ago..."
"How long?" Amelie asked.
"Well... 3 weeks. I only did it to protect Shane!" I said quickly before she could say or do anything.
"Shane? And what did I do, for you to cause this mess?" Amelie asked.
"Well... there was this guy. He was going around killing vampires and tried to kill you, then the guy looked like Shane and Shane came and you thought that Shane had done it and was going to kill him." I said. "I didn't look at the settings, it was meant to be set before the whole thing happened but it went back further..." I explained quickly.
Amelie was quiet for a moment. I looked down and bit my lip. "How long?"
"O-One hundred years..." I said, quietly.
"And during my memory loss Oliver..." Amelie started then stopped. I guessed what she saying, it wasn't good.
"I'm really sorry, this is all my fault. I'll get the machine fixed as soon possible." I said and going to stand up.
"You use that machine on me, and you won't have to worry about that anymore." Amelie said. I looked up at her.
"You mean you'll... K-Kill me?" I stammered.
"I think you have caused enough mess as it is. Let's not make it worse." Amelie said. I nodded and looked down again. "You can go now. And take this with you." Amelie put my device on the device. I took it and hurried out of the room.
Oliver's point of view
The pain was nearly unbearable when Amelie took the stake out. I rolled over to my side and it took a few moments to get to my feet. Myrnin had warned me that it would end badly when she found out, but that imbecile didn't have to have to tell her!
"Get up." Amelie said. I hauled myself to my feet and leaned against the wall. "I'm guessing you heard what Claire had to say?"
"If you won't let her fix it, the memories won't come back. They didn't the first time." I said.
"And the first time you decided to sleep with me and hope I didn't remember." Amelie said.
"You-" I paused, thinking of another word that wouldn't get me staked again. "Were persistent." I said. "I did protest."
"I'm sure you did." Amelie said. "Then I pushed you away after you tried to kiss me and then you decided to wreck my office."
"I was angry." I said. "I wasn't thinking straight."
"Were you in Claire's plan?"
"Of saving her boyfriend? Of course not! I wanted her to get the thing fixed and get you back to normal as fast as possible." Why she thought I even remotely want to save the boy, is beyond me.
"I have headache. Just tell me why you did it." Amelie asked. I had to tell her, the stake could come later.
"Because I love you. I always have." I said, stepping towards her.
"Stay where you are." She said and I stopped. "You could have kept your trousers on."
"Heat of the moment." I said. Amelie rubbed her head. I walked towards her and glared at me but I didn't stop. "I just needed to say that. Please don't stake me." I lifted her hand kissed it. Obviously she wasn't ready to forgive me yet because she crushed my hand. I groaned in pain.
"When I tell you to stop moving, you stop moving. I may have given you consent before, but of course I had amnesia then. I would never had done it. So don't think saying 'I love you' and a kiss on my hand will sort things out." She said and crushed my hand again and the let go. "Leave. Or you may find a stake in your chest."
I stared at Amelie for a moment, until I saw the briefest flicker of red in her eyes, then I left, closing the door behind me.
I flexed my healing hand and thought I am going to kill Myrnin.
