Thank you for the reviews, mean loads. 3

Myrnin POV

It had all gone wrong, that wasn't supposed to happen at all. It scared me, for once something had actually scared me. I grabbed Claire's limp body and placed her cautiously on the sofa, what had I done? I couldn't hear a pulse and no way was I going to turn her.

I had to get Amelie.

I ran vampire speed towards the other side of the room and grabbed the phone, it took 9 seconds for Amelie to answer.

"What Myrnin?" She said.

"Amelie, its gone wrong. Claire and I used the machine on her then she collapsed and she hasn't got a pulse. I think she might be-" I was cut off suddenly.

"Myrnin stay there, I'm on my way over now. Do not move Claire and do not tell anyone of the Glass House. Understand?" She demanded.

"Yes ma'am." I replied and the phone line was cut off. I ran to Claire and grabbed her hand. Her usual tanned complexion had turned cold and her hands were freezing.

What had I done?

Amelie POV

I couldn't believe this, Claire was Myrnin's laboratory assistant not his practical experiment. I was barking at the driver to go faster, it was quite late and the streets of Morganville were quiet and undisturbed.

It was raining, and that was very unusual. It never rained, ever in Morganville. I sighed despite not having seen Claire's condition some part of me felt as if it wasn't there. I knew it was because I was her protector and because she was most likely in semi or no consciousness at all. The car stopped at the Day house, I opened the door and climbed out.

"Get the door." I commanded the driver, he rushed down the alley and I followed after him. He burst the door, I ran inside the untidy laboratory.

"Myrnin!" I shouted and ran over to where he and a dead looking Claire lay.

"Oh my Goodness, she has no pulse. Myrnin we can't turn her!" I stated in shock. "Myrnin, call Oliver and tell him to come here now." I ordered, Oliver had seen many rarities of life and mankind he might be able to explain Claire's fate. Myrnin had saved her before but this was different, she had an unnatural death.

I walked over to the old armchair by the sofa and sat down, it was hard to register what was going on.

It seemed like forever until Oliver arrived out of the cold night. "Amelie, how nice to see you." He says taking off his leather gloves and placing his long coat on the side.

"Well where is she?" He asked, he looked awfully different. His hair was tied back and was now black you could say he was now more sophisticated.

"She's here." I said coldly indicating the sofa.

"Myrnin, pass me a stool." He demanded, Myrnin quickly brought the stool over to him. Oliver placed it next to the sofa and sat down.

He began to inspect Claire's still body.

Oliver POV

"Myrnin what was you suppose to achieve from this experiment exactly?" I asked and scanned Claire's lifeless arms.

"Well it was designed to cure her body's chemistry and well make her immunity stronger." He replied and stood next to Amelie.

"And did you run any other tests before this practical?" I asked him, feeling Claire's cheeks, they were ice cold.

"I only took a sample of her blood." He folded him arms. That was it, compare her blood from how it was before.

"Myrnin get me two clean syringes as well as the sample of her blood." I ordered. He ran to go get them from the other side of the laboratory.

"Oliver, do you know what you're doing?" Amelie asked coolly. I turned to face her, she was sitting in the armchair, hands folded in her lap.

"I think so." I breathed and grabbed the equipment from Myrnin. I took a breath and injected a needle into my vein and withdrew blood. Then I did the same with Claire taking a sample from her arm.

I then gave them back to Myrnin. "I need you to compare my blood with her two samples." I said to him.

"Alright, it'll take a few minutes." He said before rushing off to a microscope, I sat back on the stool.

"I think I know what we might have to do." I stated, Amelie looked up.

"What? Is it difficult?" I asked quickly.

"Well, I can compare it to something similar I've seen before and I can probably predict what will happen. A few decades ago I was assisting in an exorcism, the man who was possessed collapsed and then a few hours later he awoke free of the evil spirit that was within him. But he had increased agility and movement like a vampire it was crazy. But because of the traumatic past of demonic spirits he lit himself on fire." I finished, Claire was as cold as he was and nearly as blue as he was.

"Oliver what are you saying?" Amelie looked at me with shock.

"I'm saying Claire might not awake human. That man had unnatural spirits inside him. Claire had something unnatural inside her when she laid down on that table, she's not going to be the same Amelie." I replied, Claire might not recover from this.

"I have a connection!" Myrnin shouted, I looked at Amelie who looked at me back. We both rushed over to Myrnin. He had tested the blood samples and somehow had the cells shown photographically on paper.

"Look at the structure of Claire's cells before the experiment, they're weaker and the structure is different. However compare them afterwards with Oliver's, the structure is very similar." Myrnin said, grinning.

"So that means, she is alive but-" I said.

"-But in a temporary state like vampires when they are changed." Amelie finished, that's mad and strange as she's not going to become a vampire.

"Now we just have to wait." Myrnin said.

Amelie POV

It had been two days and nothing, not a movement, blink or breath. I had to return to my office and Oliver had to return to his business. I was quite disappointed, I thought it would only take a few hours, clearly I was wrong.

We had to move Claire onto a bed so if anyone decided to visit the laboratory they wouldn't see her.

I was about to leave the office when a call came through the phone.

"Yes?" I said wondering who on earth it could be.

"Ma'am Michael Glass wants to speak with you, there are no appointments should I let him through?" Bizzie asked. I sighed I knew this would be a conversation about Claire.

"Yes, thank you Bizzie." I replied. A few seconds later Michael entered the office.

"Ah Michael have a seat." I smiled, I was trying to avoid this conversation as much as possible.

"Amelie I'm begging you, do you know where Claire is? I've tried Myrnin's place this morning and she's not there. I also looked around TPU." He pleaded. I wanted to tell him about Claire but then I couldn't because other people could not know.

"Michael I'm afraid I do not know Claire's whereabouts, I've even asked Myrnin and Oliver but nothing. I'm sure she's safe." I replied, it hurt me to lie to him but what else could I of done?

"Okay Amelie, thank you again ma'am." He said and stood up.

"Goodbye Michael." I replied and watched him leave.

Okay Chapter done! Hope you liked it. 3
