Back to another chapter. Let's see how Dimitri's experiment goes this time.
Dimitri opened the front door to Claire's room. "Claire are-"he was cut off by his sight. There was Claire, on her bed except she was in a ball and sobbing. She was facing the wall so Dimitri only saw Claire's back. The blankets were on the floor and the blinds from her window were closed. The room overall was kind of dark. "Claire what's wrong?" asked Dimitri as he dropped his papers on the table and opened the window's blinds a bit. The sun poured in and illuminated the room. Claire still didn't turn around.
"Claire, tell me what's wrong." said Dimitri as he sat next to her.
Claire sat up and wiped her face with her hands. She only kept sniffing and wiping away tears that tried to escape her eyes.
"Claire, please tell me." said Dimitri once more.
"D-Dimitri, I went b-back to the past a-again." Claire explained.
Dimitri handed her a tissue and Claire wiped her eyes. He eventually just passed her the tissue box so she can blow her nose and wipe her tears.
"What happened while you were there?" asked Dimitri curiously.
"I saw Hershel. H-He came from the h-hospital. He was o-out for a month. T-that man, he c-caused all of H-Hershel's severe injuries." explained Claire as she continued to sob. "We should stop this e-experiment. I should just go back and never come back to the future. I can't bear to go back to the past and see Hershel in pain again." said Claire.
"But I fixed the machine. All is ready for the experiment." said Dimitri.
Claire only sat there and blew her nose. "Please Dimitri, I can't try the experiment again." said Claire. Claire dropped her head on Dimitri's shoulder and sobbed. Dimitri felt her pain and he did his best to calm her down. After Claire finally calmed down, Dimitri insisted they try the experiment one more time. Claire agreed and the experiment began. The results; it failed just as it did the first time. Dimitri and Claire cleaned the room and when Dimitri left, Claire took a shower and put on some clean clothes. It was there when Claire realized that no matter how many times Dimitri would try the experiment, they would fail. Claire knew that Dimitri was missing an ingredient that the machine needed. Without it, the machine would only fail. Perfect, if he doesn't know that he is missing something, the experiment will fail, and I will go back to my true time thought Claire.
Days passed by and Dimitri tried the experiment over and over, only to fail. Claire didn't return the past for those few days. She didn't mind, she knew if she was patient, she would return. But one day, all changed. Dmitri came in saying he had good news.
"I found out I was missing something, I have the ingredient but it will take days to prepare the machine for another experiment." said Dimitri.
"Well, congratulations." said Claire as she forced a smile. "Oh Dimitri, I have thought about going out to public, with these clothes." explained Claire as she gave a twirl to show Dimitri.
"Sounds good to me as long as you be careful. If you see that anyone is looking at you suspiciously, come back quickly." said Dimitri as he started to walk out the door. "I have to go now; I have to prepare the machine for the experiment."
"Bye." said Claire. She noticed that Dimitri had left fast. He was in the rush to finish the machine.
Claire decided that tomorrow she would go out to the streets. She does miss walking in London and she keeps on wondering if her favorite tea shop is still in town. The only downside of her life there was that Dimitri knew what he was missing.
Thanks for all those reviews, im feeling happy. AND I'm not trying to create a Dimitri and Claire paring. I don't think they are meant to be. But I figured Dmitri is a good co worker so why not let him be there for Claire. Next chapter should require some tissues. I better get them out.
