Today was a wake up call. I really am a vampire. The reason I say this is because when I stepped out of the shower , I couldn't see myself.
When I brushed my teeth I felt two specific ones only. two pointed teeth. As I brushed my hair my phone rang. I answered it and a familiar voice filled the speaker.
"Claire, we have a quick session before you go see Oliver." My face sh ruched up before I gained full recognition
"Garth?. how did you get my number" I asked walking down stirs. Shane was playing video games i placed a kiss on his cheek
"whos that" he asked nibbling on my ear I giggled but not enough for garth to hear
"No one" i said shaking my head then Shane pined me on the couch
"Amelie"Garth said I could heard the rattle of chips on his end on the phone.
I pulled away from Shane's grasp in time to speak
"what" I said walking into the kitchen and a conversation I didn't want
" you asked how I got your number and I said Amelie" Garth said but, I couldn't really understand him because he was eating while talking
"oh" I said putting the last bagel into the toaster
" I have to go to Myrins first is that okay" I asked not wanting to delay him of anything
"are you sure"he asked. he was just like Michael, you could hear the car in his voice
"yes and how'd"I started "is it really that important"Garth asked and I could tell that he was tired
"No" I said defeated then Eve looked up from the skillet of eggs. As if, she wasn't already listening she just let it be known she was.
"is that your lover"Eve asked smirking "sshhh" I shhed her and she didn't like it so she snatched the phone away from me
"hello" Eve said
"hello, who is this" I could hear Garth on the other end completely confused
"this is Eve. you messing with a committed young lady she's taken" Eve said winking at me.
I rolled my eyes.
"oh really. Our relationship is strictly business" Garth laughed and Eve blushed then she cover the phone his laughter still coming from the other end
"his laugh is so hot. Is he hot"Eve asked almost hopping out of her skin
"well, yeah" Claire blushed too "ooh Claire you upgraded from Shane huh"Eve said
"yeah , the phone" I sad reaching for the phone before Eve realized what she was doing
"Oh strictly business huh that what Angelina and brad said but, now they have little Maddox" Eve said picking up the grilling
"yes it is. What is you name"garth asked Eve
"Eve"eve said leaning on the door frame
"okay Eve give the phone back to Claire shes about to die with out it"Garth said and eves mouth hung right open
Eve tossed it to me and when she walked by she said "hot and rude such a combo" She said getting back to the eggs that were possibly burnt
"are you sure about Myrin"Garth asked and agina you could hear the care in his voice
"yes. I'm already what i was afraid of. what is to be worried about"I asked well, he did make ada into a vamp but then....
"okay but, remember our session" Garth said as if he was about to hang up but he didn't hang up. I niether did I.
"Garth" I said pciking up my pace a little in the swealtering heat.
"you've been through the first part of the building right?"I asked surely he been through it he works there
"The crazy house" he said more than asked
"yes"I sighed
"what about" Garth yawned and I knew what it was. He had'nt had any blood yet
"you need some don't you" I said walking faster and faster
"I'm on a diet"He said sounding sluggish
"I've only been a vampire for what- a few weeks and i know that's stupid."Claire said wipiing sweat off her forehead then rolling her eyes
"hey" he said in defense
"just saying" I said "Anyway I wanted to know if you seen the little girl" I said wanting to know more about the girl before a got to myrin's I was outside the ally that led to his house?
"yes" Garth said like he was already closing up the conversation
"who is she" I mean what could a little girl like her have done
"she's amelies."garth said in a rush
"are you serious" I said in a giddy shock
"yes. I can't tell you anymore ask Amelie"garth said
"please"I begged this couldn't be true. Could it
"look I got to go" Garth said he asid then there was dial tone
I closed the phone when I noticed that the door Myrin usual had bolted was open. I rushed to see if Myrin was okay everyhting was in freeze frames as I ran through the place but what I saw was trashed.
glass was shattered everywhere but I didn't care Myrin was somewhere in here. The lab!. I wasted time in the main room instead of going into the lab. When I got there Myrin sat in a corner looking tired but, he was also sobbing
"Myrin" I said walking over and kneeling next to him
"Claire"Myrin said looking into the slits between his fingers "No, you can not see me like this" He said then he wiped his face with his sleeve
"Myrin is this about me, what you did" I asked knowing it was "yes" he simply answerd I frowned
"Amelie" Claire said with it all becoming clear, It all clicking
"yes. She scolded lke i was her child and then she said I was a fool and that no one else should be tortured with being one of us"Myrin said looking into my eyes and I saw pain
"I kind of like it" I said
"oh well, that's- I don't know" Myrin said picking himself up off this floor
"yeah" I said awkwardly
"I'm sorry" Myrin apologized AGAIN
"Myrin can we just get to work" I said not wanting to hear Myrin apologize again. I picked up the paper that trashed the room, and the glass on the floor where Myrin sat.
"Thank you Claire"Myrin said geeting the same book he had week ago and sat down in front of me.
the logic of the human mastermind the flamboyant cover read with stars on the corners and a big brain in the middle.
"what's this" I asked confused by the whole concept
"Magic" Myrin said pulling up a chair to the table and he stared in my face
"Magic isnt really" I said flipping through the book if anything I refused to think magic is real Then Myrin gaze darkened
"okay it's just science that hasn't been explored" I sunk into my chair
"It's been explored for centuries Claire"Myrin said
After hours of mixing potions and trying to read each others minds. like we could really do that but, Myrin made it look like he was really doing it
I decided to ask myrin about the little girl and if what Garth said was true
Shes harmless it echoed in my head and maybe she was
"Myrin does Amelie have a daughter" I ased as I put this green liquid call squilio in warter to see what would happen
"Amelie has a daughter" Myrin asked suprised "I don't know I asked you" I said raising my eyebrows
"Oh yes she told me of a little gil but she didn't into detail"Myrin said getting into the conversation like a school yard girl
"why" I asked leaning towards him
"she started crying."Myrin smiled was he about to laugh at that
"Crying" I said I only seen Amelie cry once and It wasn't pretty
"yes. right in the middle of the dance floor that's when oscar gave her his hancife" Myrin said alomost laughing
"oh is oscar another vampire" I asked mixing another potion
"No. Oscar and in Oscar Wilde the poet ." Myrin sid as if he was offened
"You knew oscar wilde" I asked remembering the class I had where they mention him
"yes and Amelie did too but when he had his after party he wrote her off his list saying she was weird" Myrin said
"you kne oscar wilde"I asked again not believeing him
"yes child to tell you the truth , think he was gay but you know. no one knows" Myrin shrugged
"yes. no one knows" I said looking at the time I noticed that it was time for me to get to Garth for our appointmet.
Walking down the hallway I was blinded all the white. I opened the gray door ready to see Garh but then the little popped into my head. Plus her door was opened
The little girl was playing with Bear like the first time I saw her. I came on sat down beside her and she continued to play with the bear as if she didn't see me
"Hello"the girl said and it startled me
"Hello my name is-" I started "claire" she finished
"How did you know my name" Claire asked bewilderd
"I can read minds especailly my moms'"the girl said cradleing the bear as if it were a baby
"whos your mom" I asked getting to the answer
"you work for her" She said score
"can you tell me you name" I asked "winieferd" She answered
"Oh people must call you winnie" Claire said trying to sound like women who already had babaies when they see toddlers
"no they call me freddie"she said
"how old are you" I asked she raised her hand and said "this many" she did the number 5
"why are you in here you didnt do anything" I asked
"Ive been in places like this forever they think I'm a thingy" Freddie said looking into my eyes and her eyes were just like amelies also her hair
"What is a thingy" I asked almost giggling at the silliness of her answer
" a vam-vam- vampieit"Freddie said
"vampire you mean" I said laughing she was so adorable
"yeah that" she said playing with my necklace. The one shane gave me i put ribbon around it so it woulndt burn but Freddies hand accidnetly touched it.
Freddie started wailing. Wailing
The white suits came rushing in. Garth called them that as he refered to them on his taking me home last night. Then Amelie, and I knew trouble was coming my way
"Don't touch her" Amelie rushed over to us where we were on the floor and picked Freddie up and sw the burn on her hand and became enraged
"Amelie I just wanted to talk to her" I said getting
"How did she get this, you hurt my baby"Amelie said and everyoone seemed to be in shock that she said my and baby in the same sentence
"I have this neckl-" I started to say then Amelie ripped it off my neck hurting me and herself in the process. She shrieked and almost dropped freddie who was doing those pit bubbles like babies and toddlers do.
"You are to never wear this again. Keep away from her you hear"Amelie said stalking out the room with a now sleeping Freddie on her shoulder
When I got out of the crowd that surrounded me I saw Garth leaning against the wall drinking what I knew was blood and bubbleing with laughter
"What are you laughing at" I asked storming past him
"I knew you were going to talk to her."He said following me his laughs echoing
"So, I wanted to she didnt do anything did. for all I know she doesnt even know what she is" I said taking what i knew was a wrong turn
"Amelie goes bi-polar with her she held a meeting with everybody 1 dont give her any candy 2 dont touch her bear 3 dont give her cold blood" Garth said in his amelie impersonation
I Laughed at him then with many wrong turns I sat down on the steps that were near by
"are we going to do the code talk thing" I asked
"no but at least were here and we get to talk" Garth said
"dont you think its weird" I asked him looking up at him from the first step he on the fourth
"what"he asked
"you were bitten when you were 16 in 1995 so doesnt that make you like thirty something now" I asked laughing
"no well yes, 31 but im forever 16 so i get to live it up" Garth said raising the roof
"ew your 31" I said laughing and Garth looked really mad
"ew your 16" he said making his voice really deep or was that the way it always was
"17" I said feeling dizzy all of a sudden "here" Garth said handing me his bottle
"Do you know how many germs are on here i mean someone blood and your spit" I asked looking at the bottle in disgust
"just drink befoe you pass out." He said nudgeing me
I took a sip well a gulp and handed it back it took a while for me to feel better but when i did Garth spoke again
"I know what it feels like my little diet when i finally gave up I felt anorexic or is it bulimic" Garth sai stratching his head
I laughed again I didn't know garth was funny well i did meet him only housr ago really
Then we heard angry footstep two actually then I looked up to see the plae read head that was smiling at me the other day now she was frowning
"Garth what did you promise me" She asked
"Juelz Im sorry I forgot about our date"Garth said wrapping his arms around her and I could see her melt like I do when im in shane embrace and I felt Jealous?
"its okay"Juelz said
"Claire why are you doing everything wron today first you hurt winieferd now you'r not at common grounds"Amelie said as she reached us
"okay" I said
A fresh brewed cup of coffee was placed in front of me. It was made by a carbon copy of eve excepet the girls hair was blond and she looked less imtimindating than eve.
"I'm Ebony" She said beaming Ebony-Eve see almost alike gosh oliver
"yeah" I said smiling then oliver came barreling from the back and push poor ebony out of the way
"I knew it who made you was it that crazy fool" Oliver said smirking
"If you mean Myrin , then yes"I said taking a table oliver follwed me
"I knew he wasn't gonna go for long."Oliver said
"What are you doing your making Amelie nervous" I said Garth is going to kill me
"oh, well I don't mean to"Oliver said sounding truly sorry
"you don't" I asked because oliver is never sorry
"why yes infact I want you to ask her something"' Oliver said as if we were sharing a secret and I did not want to share one with him
"okay"I said leaning in and looking into his eyes
oliver shifted his eyes a little
"I want to step out with me"Oliver said
"what does that mean" Claire asked squinting her eyes
"just do it" Oliver said standing up and walking away
"okay" In said as I was sitting alone
I headed home and went to sleep. Only to start another adventure.
