Claire's Pov
"I love you too Gabriel." The words I'd spoken rang true, and it felt good to say it. I'd said his name in hopes that he understood the second meaning behind it. He then let go and turned to face the elevator doors as they opened. An entire team of security guards had us at the recieving end of their guns. Sylar stepped forward and then the sound of the guns caused me to cover my ears and hide my face. When the sound ceased, I looked up to see Sylar had fallen back from the impact, and without thinking made my way over to him.
"Hold your fire." I didn't care about the guards at this point, I was holding Sylars head in my lap. "Gabriel, please." "It's no use girl, he's dead." "No!" I reached into my pocket and took out the scalpel I'd swiped from the doctor and made two cuts. Pressing my wrist to his, he still didn't move. My blood was mixing into his so why wasn't it working? "Take her away." I fought against their hold as they pulled me away from Sylar. "Let her go." They stopped dead in their tracks and I looked up to see Sylar.
He guided his finger and threw the guards at the wall. They all went limp as Sylar strolled over to me. "What just happened? Why did it take so long for you to heal?" "It's the eclipse." As I let Sylar pick me up, I looked up at the sky as we left the building and could clearly see that it had started. "Sylar you bastard!" I turned with him to see my dad. He came out with Peter, pointing a gun at the back of his head. "Peter!"
"You have to chose Claire. The monster or your uncle." "Dad, please don't do this." "I'm doing this for you Claire. Don't you see what your choices have done to you? I'm only making this easy for you." "How can you say this is easy. Peter is my uncle, and I've fallen in love with Gabriel." "I'm sorry Claire, but if you don't choose, I will." He straightened his arm, point blank at Sylar. I looked at my dad with tears in my eyes and threw myself in front of him as my dad had pulled the trigger.
I felt it, and god did it hurt. Everything was getting cold, and I could feel my blood soaking through. "Claire!" I looked up at Sylar as he caught me before I could hit the ground. "Claire, no." Sylar laid his head on my chest. I was losing too much blood and felt myself go limp in his arms. "I forgive you Gabriel." My eyes closed and I disappeared into the darkness.

"You son of a bitch!" I ran straight at Noah, catching him before he could pull the trigger again. Knocking him to the ground I punched him in the face. Noah wasn't very strong, but managed a knock back at me. I punched him again, this time knocking him out. "Gabriel, leave him!" Peter was pulling me off of Noah. I was never going to forgive him for what he did to Claire.
I'd sat beside Claire and held onto her. Peter stood beside me. "There's nothing we can do Gabriel." "We can wait for the eclipse to end." I picked her body up and flew back to Peters. Once I'd gotten inside, I placed her on the bed and stayed with her. Peter followed behind me and sat down beside me. "I'm sorry Gabriel." "She'll be fine." I wasn't going to let her be dead.
"Gabriel." I opened my eyes and realized I'd fallen asleep. "The eclipse." I looked outside and saw it pass. It was over. Claire still remained the same. "Why isn't she waking up? She should be waking up." "I'm sorry Gabriel, I don't think she will." Peter put a hand on my shoulder, but I shook it off. "She will wake up, she has too." I leaned in close to hold her hands and kiss her forehead. I wasn't about to leave her side until she was awake again.
An hour passed and still nothing happened. I wasn't about to give up, Claire couldn't be dead. For just a moment I stood up and stretched. Pacing around the room until something happened. "Gabriel, I think its been long enough. Her body can't stay here." I didn't want to move her and I wouldn't let Peter touch her. "No." Peters heartbeat caught me, it sounded like it skipped a beat. "What's wrong?" "You're not Peter. Who the hell are you?"
I pushed him against the wall and held my hand at his throat. "Who are you?" I watched as the features faded and a womans face appeared. "My name is Jane, I didn't come here to hurt anyone, just to aquire the girls body." "Who sent you?" "Angela Petrelli." "Well she's going to be very disappointed when you go back empty handed." "If I do, she'll kill me." "I'll kill you before you can even touch her." "Fine." I blinked in shock from her dissolving into nothing. She was gone, I turned to see Claire still on the bed.

The darkness had finally disappeared and I found myself surrounded by all white. No, I don't want to be here and I don't want to go back to the darkness. After what felt like hours, I drifted off and found Sylar in front of me. I wasn't in my body. I couldn't feel his hands on mine, his lips on my forehead. I was stuck here watching him grieve. "Let me go back." "You cannot. This is your fate." I couldn't figure out where the voice was coming from, but I argued with it. "Please, he needs me." "He will move on."
"If you had eyes you could see that he's hurt. I saved his life. I'm dead and he isn't." "That is how it will continue to be." "No, I want to go back! If you don't help me, I'll find my own way." Nothing happened. I looked down at Sylar again and began to cry. "I forgave him."
I was flying straight at my body. It was an amazing feeling until everything came to a stop. I was right above my body and as I reached out, I could touch my body. As I did, my body moved the tiniest bit. Moving closer and letting myself go into my body I saw Sylar turn to look at me. He moved back by my side. I was stuck and couldn't move. "I need you Claire." Suddenly I felt a release and was able to move. I lifted my hand as he'd put his head down and I put my hand in his hair. "Oh my god, Claire?" He sat up, looking down at me and I was able to open my eyes.
Sylar began to cry and I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I was so lost." "It's ok now, you're back." "Where's Peter? Is he ok?" "I'm just fine." I looked towards the door and saw Peter rubbing his head." "What happened to you?" "No clue. Good to have you back Claire." "Its good to be back." I smiled and pulled Sylar into a kiss. He ran his fingers through my hair and came to rest at my hips before he pulled away. "I was so afraid..." "There's no need for that. I'm not going anywhere."
