Hey Guys! I'm back with another chapter. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I'm so glad you guys are liking the story so far! :)

Claire POV

We walked inside the fancy restaurant, I instantly felt sick; Shane and Kim were going to be there and after this I had to live with them. Amelie grabbed my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze for reassurance, I smiled at her and then spotted the table where they were sitting.

I took a long breath and followed Amelie, Oliver and Myrnin. All of them were sitting there, we took our places. I was sat in between Amelie and Myrnin – Michael was opposite me with Shane next to him.

This was going to be a long night.

Michael POV

Claire looked stunning, literally. I looked at Shane, his eyes were fixed on her as well. I wanted to smack him, his eyes were filled with love and lust – it made me sick. Something was off, Claire's facial features looked more defined and flawless, she also was paler.

A waiter came over and asked what we all wanted everyone said what they wanted and he soon left. Amelie cleared her throat.

"Well now we're all here, I think we'll begin to discuss everything." Amelie said coolly. Claire frowned whilst Kim rolled her eyes. Two waiters returned with trays of drinks. The vampires obviously having blood whilst the others were drinking alcohol. I looked at Claire who was drinking wine, I shot a look at her. She just shrugged.

"Now as you all know the riots have continued to worsen over the past few weeks. Myrnin and Claire were supposed to be working on a new device to help the borders and the law system. But we cannot continue with all the danger therefore Claire you are to stay living at the Glass House until further notice. None of you are to give information about Claire's whereabouts to anyone, many of the protesters want her to use her as blackmail. Understand?" She said sharply glaring at mainly Kim and Shane.

Everyone nodded, Claire just sighed and inspected her hands. After the discussion everyone was talking with one another. Myrnin and Claire were laughing and discussing things too complex for the rest of us to understand. I felt slightly jealous yet I kept questioning myself.

I still wondered why Claire hadn't left Shane for Myrnin in the first place. Myrnin was much smarter than him and he had got looks.

Everyone stopped talking whilst dinner arrived, everyone had various different meals. I silently ate the food in front of me and tried to not pay attention to Claire.

Shanes POV

She was gorgeous, I hadn't seen her glowing so much ever. I couldn't believe what I had done to her, but then I still liked Kim and I didn't want to hurt Kim like I did to Claire. She kept glaring at me whenever we coincidently looked at each other. But something kept pulling at me to talk to her but I knew she wouldn't listen.

I sighed I looked at him opposite me – Myrnin. I rolled my eyes whenever he made some stupid remark. Claire and him were constantly talking and laughing at each other's comment. I looked over at Kim who was chatting to Eve but kept throwing odd glances at Claire.

I tried to ignore them both and instead decided to talk to Michael. I knew he was still slightly pissed at me but not as much seeming as he's been talking to me.

"So how come we're here?" I asked him.

"I guess Amelie wanted it to seem more official and serious." He shrugged, it was becoming more awkward.

Amelie POV

After everyone had finished their meal we all went back to the Glass House. I wasn't joking around when I said no one could say anything of Claire's whereabouts. I had to lie about the reason but I couldn't risk the Glass House members knowing about Claire.

I still didn't trust them enough. Shane hates vampires, Kim seems too shady. Michael and Eve I just didn't know.

We were being driven in the limo whereas the others had gone back in the car. I sighed, this was so much trouble just because of one little mistake.

"So what if they sense something?" Claire asked lifting her head up.

"You'll have to deny or make up an excuse." Oliver said, she just nodded at him.

The car stopped and the driver opened the door, we all climbed out. Myrnin went to grab the bags whilst Oliver, Claire and I made our way to the door which was immediately opened by Michael, we all stepped inside with Myrnin following behind us.

He placed her bags on the ground and we all made our way into the parlour. "Well, I hope you follow my orders and do not disobey them. I shall visit in a few days. Claire you can come out during the day and visit any of us if there is trouble. Goodbye." I said finally, hugging Claire and then leaving with Oliver and Myrnin.

I really hoped she'd be okay.

Claire POV

I was tired - really fucking tired. I sighed knowing I couldn't have any blood to help build my energy. I walked out leaving the rest of the Glass House members standing there. I couldn't grab all my bags seeming as I didn't want to raise suspicion.

After picking up the second bag I felt his presence behind me. "Here let me help." Michael said grabbing most of the bags, I bit my lip and followed him up the stairs into what was once my room but is also my new room.

I placed the remaining two bags on the floor. "Doesn't look any different." I said and sighed.

"Yeah, it's good to have you back." Michael said and wrapped me in a hug. I panicked at little, what if he sensed something?

"You feel colder. Are you feeling okay?" He asked placing his hand on my forehead. I really started to panic then as I tried to think of an excuse.

"Yeah, I've probably got something." I suggested, he just nodded. I wanted to tell him the truth but I promised Amelie.

"Night then." He said and kissed my forehead before leaving. For once he didn't call me kiddo or kid. I shrugged it off and changed into some pyjamas before climbing into bed and falling asleep.

Michael POV

Okay something was defiantly off. She was cold and paler and she hadn't realised that whole time we were in her room it was pitch black. Any other human would have turned the lights on. She seemed different as well, her voice, the way she looked even her personality seemed different.

I sighed, stripped off my clothes and climbed into my bed. I knew she was hiding something from me except I didn't have a clue what is was. But I was going do whatever it took to find out.

Okay once again thank you for your reviews! This chapter was probably a bit boring but the next one will be good. I pinkie promise. Remember to leave any suggestions in the reviews!

I feel so bad for Michael, all he wants to do if look out for Claire and he probably wants to kiss her as well. Lol

Love you guys! X
