Okay new chapter, you'll understand what I meant by killing one of the glass house members in this chapter.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Claire POV

As I stepped through the portal I saw Amelie look up. "Could you knock next time?" She said raising her eyebrows.

I sat down in one of the chairs and knocked on the table. "Better?" I asked sarcastically and grinned.

"What can I do for you Claire?" She asked rolling her eyes and folding her arms.

"I've left the Glass House." I stated pointing at my bags behind me. I hoped she had somewhere I could stay.

"You can stay at Myrnin's whilst I'll figure out your living arrangements. I needed to speak to you anyway so I might as well now." She smiled at me. Honestly she's not cold hearted as much like she used to be.

Before she could say anything the door opened to Bizzie. "Ma'am, the manager of finance is here." She said, she looked like she had been running.

"Tell him we'll reschedule later, I have something important to deal with at the moment." Amelie said looking at her before looking back at me.

"Oliver dropped his second commandment" She stated, I was shocked Oliver was so determined to become founder, yet he'd drop a position like this.

"But he wanted it so badly." I said confused.

"Believe me Claire I'm just as confused as you are." Amelie sighed.

Amelie POV

She was my only choice; Claire would be good second in command. She's fair and justifies everything correctly. It's just a shame that she's so willing not to become a vampire.

There was no way I was letting Myrnin become second in command, he may be one of my closest friends but he was mad who knew what he'd do?

I guess Michael would be a good second in command but I know that boy isn't happy as a vampire; he was aching and hurting as soon as Oliver killed him.

"I want you to become my second in command Claire." I aid taking an unneeded breath.

"What?" She said, her expression was torn with what seemed to be confusion and shock. But then I wasn't an empath so I would not know.

"Amelie, I can't. I mean look at me if something was to happen I couldn't run Morganville." She stuttered, I was disappointed. Maybe if Myrnin said something to her she'd probably come to the right conclusion.

"I'll let you think about it, for now you'll stay at Myrnin's." I smiled and hugged her.

I really hoped she'd accept my offer.

Claire POV

I really didn't know how to feel, out of everyone why would she choose me? The driver dropped me off by the alleyway; I climbed out the car with my bags beside me. I walked down the darkness and opened the small latch with led to the laboratory. It was lit up as usual but this time Myrnin was standing over some equipment.

"Myrnin?" I called out and walked down the stairs.

"Oh Claire, it's wonderful to see you." He exclaimed.

"What you doing?" I asked him.

"Nothing you should be worrying about." He said, he walked into another room which I would think was his kitchen. I followed after him; by the time I had got there I heard a microwave noise.

"You don't mind if we watch a film?" He asked and grabbed popcorn from the microwave.

"As long as it's twilight." I grinned, he rolled his eyes.

"We're watching that silly film." He groaned.

We were halfway through the film and all he did was continuously comment on everything. With things like:

"Vampire don't shine they burn."

"Animal blood, that's disgusting."

"We don't have powers!"

I just laughed at everything he said and by the time the film finished it was 10:09.

"Claire could you do me a massive favour?" He asked.

I looked at him: "if it involves my brain in a jar, then no." I replied.

"I need you to test this machine for me; it cures your body's chemistry and strengthens your immunity." He smiled. I was debating whether or not to take the risk, I mean I guess it was safe and I guess I had nothing left to lose.

"Okay Myrnin I'll do it." I stated. He pulled a sheet off a steel table with a large machine connected to it with various wires and them sticky patch things at hospitals.

I laid on the table and watched as Myrnin took a sample of my blood. He then began to put the patches on different sections of my chest and arms and then my lower leg.

"Myrnin will this hurt?" I asked cautiously.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I doubt it would hurt unbearably." He reassured.

"Okay Claire, I'm going to start this machine now."

I heard a beep noise and a pinching feeling over my body, I closed my eyes and tried to stay still. It felt like forever until Myrnin told me it was over.

"How do you feel?" He asked and helped me up. I felt weird and dizzy, and very numb.

"Myrnin, I don't feel so good." I said, I the lost the feeling in my legs and fell to the ground.

"Myrnin, what's happening?" I said out of breath before everything went black.

Thanks for any reviews! Love you's x

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 3
