Claire woke up with Her head in Shane's lap,When She looked up at Him He smiled
"Hey sleepyhead , feeling any better?"
in response Claire nodded Her head but quickly wished She hadn't, Her head was pounding She pulled Her hand up to hold Her head and saw that it was in a cast, When she looked at it puzzled Shane quickly told Her
"Amelie got the medics to look at it while You where sleeping, We all signed it for you."
Claire looked at it closer and noticed that it was in fact singed by Eve, Michael ,Shane and Myrirn, She smiled before asking
"Where are We?"
"In Amelie's office, They think the Angel has friends, a few Vampires went missing and Myrnin is panicky because He says if they use Vampires for energy they will be more powerful because of how long vampires live or something, so there setting up founder's hall as a safe house and making everyone come here for safety"
Claire slowly sat up and looked around the room There was a big desk with a chair and two fold up chairs across from it for where visitors sat, there was pictures of art and a mirror on the walls, and a tiny cupid statue in the corner, not a very full room but the door was large and could be bolted from the inside, Shane got up to get a bottle on the desk
"These are your pain meds, there supposed to numb the pain but not make you tired, the medic guy said I had to give you them as soon as you woke up,but He didn't say what to take it with so..Do you want some coffee? Eve and Oliver are making it by the tons"
Claire nodded and stood up "Sure"
Shane walked over and Kissed Her, A slow,sweet Kiss before breaking away for the door, He opened it and turned to look back at Claire
"Don't let anyone in, I'll be right back."
with that He closed the door and was gone. Claire walked over and sat in one of the fold up chairs to wait for Him to come back, while She waited Claire looked at some of the papers sitting on Amelie's desk, nothing important just random comments from people in the town, She was about to go look to see if any of the drawers would open when She heard something laugh. Claire looked around the room but couldn't see anything, It must have been in Her head. Claire put the papers back in place when She heard the laugh again followed by footsteps behind Her, She Turned quickly but couldn't find anyone.
"Hello? Who's there?"
she felt stupid talking to nothing but then She heard more Childlike giggling from Her left and quickly turned, She saw something Blur by Her but couldn't make out what it was, it was to small to be human but kept laughing and running around Her.
Suddenly the lights in the room started flickering on and off, Claire ran over to the light switch and tried flipping it to stay on, with no luck. The lights went off and everything became darkness. Claire tried turning the lights on again but no matter how many times She flipped the switch it stayed dark.
Then the giggles got louder, Claire slowly felt around trying to find Her way to the desk, when She reached it She felt around under the desk until She found an emergency kit taped to the bottom. Amelie had them put there in every office, and Claire was thankful for it. She grabbed the kit and tried pulling it open, it was Hard with only one hand but finely she got it , She found something inside that felt like a small flashlight and quickly turned it on only to find The cupid staring at Her with outreached hands and vampire like teeth.
Claire jumped back, She didn't know how it could hurt Her, It was smaller then the Angels but Claire knew it was just like them, except for the laughing and running around instead of straight out trying to kill Her, She kept Her flashlight pointed at Him and moved back to the door, She tried to open It but it wouldn't budge, She started pounding on it
"Shane! Shane open the door!"
but nothing happened She flashed the light over at the door to see if it was bolted when the laughing started again, Claire quickly turned back towards the Cupid but it was gone, the childlike laughing continued threw the room, Claire turned back to the door and started pounding again,
"Shane!"
She heard someone on the other side of the door then they started pounding on it,
"Claire!? Claire are ok? Open the door!"
"I can't! It stuck and there's some kind of.. "
She didn't get to finish Because the cupid had launched itself on Her back and was trying to get His Hands around Her neck, Claire screamed and Jumped up against the wall trying to crush Him, but how can you crush a statue? She kept trying but found it was useless and tried to make Her way towards the emergency kit, The tiny Angel had its arms around Her neck and Claire couldn't get them off, They were pure stone.
She heard something banging on the door, but She couldn't wait for them to rescue Her, He was crushing Her windpipes, She turned Her head as much as She could trying to stare at Him but all She could see was His arm, Then Claire had an idea She quickly started for the mirror, Her vision was getting blurred, and She was gasping for breath but She made herself keep going until She reached the wall that had a small mirror.
She looked in it and Saw Him, He stopped laughing and seemed to have froze, But it didn't help, he was still froze with His arms pushed around Her neck Clare grabbed the mirror from the wall and sat down on the floor still staring at Him threw the mirror, She was gasping for air hopelessly, She felt like laying down but didn't for the fear she wouldn't get back up. She took one last helpless gasp for Air when Her mind told Her it was over.

But Claire just thinks it looks like a Cupid, Myrirn will tell everyone the correct term later. Also thank you for reading this all the way up to Chapter 5! For that you are truly awesome!
