I hope you enjoyed my story :D

Enjoy xx

Claire's POV

I woke up, expecting to be in agony. The last thing I remember is Amelie putting a mask on me. I sit up and feel my neck. It and the rest of my body has cooled down but a look in the mirror shows a ugly bruise running the length of my neck. I sigh. I get up and I ache all over. Ugh, side effects. Hate them. I walk to the bathroom and go to the toilet.

After I come out I sit down on the bed and lie down. I slight ache in my side but no problem from my vampire - ish kidney. I get up again then go to the bathroom to release feces. After I flush the toilet and open the window so it won't totally reek in here if Amelie or anyone else needs it, I open the door to see Amelie. She's noticeable smiling.

"I see you have recovered. I'm glad, I had to force Myrnin. I wouldn't do it usually it kind of pains me to do so, but your health is more important." Amelie said. I am speechless. Amelie smiles wider.

"Don't speak little one. Your throat will be sore, so you could come down and have some medicine if you wish." She requested. I nodded. Now I come to think of it, it does sting a little when I swallow.

"Come with me" she said and went downstairs. I followed her. In the kitchen Amelie opened and closed cupoboards and drawers and finally found it.

"Drink this. It will help your throat." Amelie poured the medicine onto a plastic and held it out. I took it and took a sip. Eww, gross, I thought. But I drank it all. My throat almost immediately felt better.

"Thank you for taking care of me down at Myrnin's" I said. Amelie face brightened.

"It's my pleasure. You can stay here as long as you like. You need time to recover." Amelie said. She turned round to the fridge, opened it and took out a blood bag. Then she drained it and put it on the bin. I went into the living room and watched TV. I felt a cool hand on my neck. I turned round and saw Amelie examining it with sad eyes.

"No need to worry Claire. Your bones will heal so will your skin. And your body will clean up the bruise that has appeared on you neck." she said and stroked my neck, gently with the back of her hand.

"Okay thanks for taking care of me. Your nice really, you just have to show everyone else that and they might not treat you so ... not nicely" I said. I am being hoisted up, to my feet then Amelie hugs me. She's almost the same size as me so I don't really have to bend down far or stretch.

"I would love to have you as a daughter. I'm saddened I can't bear children but if I could you would be an angel2 Amelie said softly. I shivered but not from the cold. My mind's sending me pictures of Amelie pushing a baby out from a rear end point of view. I close my eyes and try to dismiss the memory.

Amelie lets go and gently puts me back down. Then she leaves. I sigh and watch TV. Never ever again, am I letting Myrnin anywhere near me. What if I hadn't gone to Amelie's or had been too slow and my head would have come off? To be honest I do see Amelie as kind of a mother. Really weird, imagining the Founder as your mother, as she is 1,000 years old or something.

I smile to myself, thinking actually it wouldn't be bad having the Founder as your mother. It would be cool. How many people have vampires as parents? Probably no-one but still.

I think I'm going to enjoy my life in Morganville, with Amelie around.

Amelie's point of view

I'm in my kitchen thinking over what happened. I run my hands over the cold tap as my temperature had somehow gone up. I still can't put it right that I just saved a human girl, which I haven't done for a long time. I leave the humans to take care of their kind.

I hugged Claire, sweet Claire as gently as possible trying to to hurt her. But being a vampire with incredible strength I couldn't help it. She whimpered and that brought back memories. I swear I was going to kiss her right there, but thought otherwise. I'm not attracted to women, especially children.

I realize I'm in need of companionship as Claire fits the bill. Samuel still makes my un beating heart ache but not as much. I think I can forgive Oliver for his murder attempts. And Claire fits the bill as a daughter and a companion. Gosh get real woman, Oliver for 1 he tried to kill you and 2 Claire she has parents of her own and friends and a realtionship, I thought. I shook the thought out my head. Everyone needs company and friends once in a while.

I hear a knock on the door. Claire gets up to get the door but I gently press down on her shoulders keeping her down.

"Stay. You need to rest and recover. You'll use up energy that your body needs to heal." I said and went to see who is at the door.

Oliver.

My breath catces in my throat. I swallow.

"Hello Oliver." I said, as coldly as possible.

"I know you love me. Your not yourself" Oliver read my mind. He comes in and shuts my door. "Upstairs. I have something I want to tell you" he whispers in my ear.

"What is it?" I ask, hoping it's nothing intimate.

"Upstairs. Then I'll tell you" he said. I thought about it. The I said,

"I'll meet you in my bedroom. I need to check up on Claire, make sure she's alright." I said. Oliver nodded and went upstairs. I went into the living room and got some food prepared for Claire.

"Claire, do you like apples?" I asked, Claire nods her head. I put 1 apple and a banana on the plate then some microwave cook vegetables and instructions on how to make a proper dinner.

"I have put you food out. Eat it whenever your ready." I said. Claire nodded and I went upstairs to hear what Oliver has to say. In my bedroom, Oliver is sitting on my bed. I sit down next to him and un-intentionally takes his hand. I begin to pull away but Oliver holds on.

"Wait. Amelie, your the most beautiful woman I ever met. You were beautiful when you were human, but your breath taking as a vampire. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my long life with you. Will you marry me?" he asks.

I am speechless. Marry him? I look round the room thinking I might find an answer but nothing. I squeeze Oliver's hand and take a deep breath.

"Oliver, I deeply forgive you, for your murder attempt when I was a young vampire and I reciprocate your feelings towards me. So ... yes. Yes I will marry you" I said. A big smile spreads across Oliver's face. He kisses me gently and surprisingly I don't feel the need to be sick. I kiss him back. He breaks apart and holds out a black box. He opens it to reveal the most beautiful ring ever. It's a dark blue sapphire and made of dull silver so it won't burn me. And he brings out a necklace with a sapphire pendant. He puts the necklace on me, and slips the ring on my finger.

Oliver puts a hand on my cheek and strokes it. I lean in, totally mesmerized in his eyes.

"Oliver? I love you so much" I admit. Seems strange now, that I was going to destroy his feelings and confidence that first night of intimacy.

"I love you as well." He replies and kisses me. I kiss him back.

Oliver's Point of view - sorry it's short

The love of my life as said she'd marry me. I'm so happy. Centuries of staring at her from a distance in mid century France now here in Texas. I gently put the necklace round her neck and slip on the ring. I cup her face in my hands, not believing she can be this beautiful and not take people's breath away.

"Oliver? I love you so much" Amelie said. I heart flips and I stroke her face. I take a deep breath trying to make it as real as possible.

"I love you as well"." I said I reply and kiss her soft lips. Amelie kisses me back and fireworks go off in my head.

We're married, I have the love of my life and I never could be any happier. We begin to get intimate but for once she doesn't mind. She takes off my top and I do the same. It's not long before I have her in my arms and breathing in her scent, as I have wished and longed to do for so many centuries.

Claire's point of view - at the Glass House

After Oliver proposed to Amelie and they had a make-out session, Amelie offered me to take me to the Glass House. I nod, eager to see Shane, Michael and Eve again.

In the car, I can't keep still. Finally we arrive and I get out and try to walk casually. I ring the doorbell and Shane answers the door. His eyes widen and then I'm embraced in a bone crushing hug.

"Where the hell have you been, babe? I thought you were dead" he whispers. Tears fall from my eyes but not from sadness. It's because I'm happy.

"I had to stay at Amelie's because of the after affects and then I almost got killed by Myrnin but he apologized and Amelie and Oliver have got engaged!" I finished. Shane stares wide eyed at the newly engaged couple. Amelie whispering something in Oliver ear and he's kissing her hair.

"Shane? Who's at the door?" Michael asked. Shane turns round.

"Why don't you come and have a look for yourself, bloodsucker?" Shane shouts up the stairs. Michael's blond hair, blue eyes and pale skin are a real welcome sight.

"Claire? Where the hell have you been?" He asked, buttoning his shirt. I shrugged and looked at Amelie. She smiles and kisses Oliver and then goes into the car. She waves and the newly wed couple dissapear down the street.

"Did I just see that right?" Michael asked. Shane looks just shocked.

"Amelie loves Oliver has asked her to marry him and she said yes so they're engaged." I said.

"NO WAY! CLAIRE, OH MY GOD!" someone shouted from the hall. Eve runs and hugs me. I hug her back. Shane drags me inside and up the stairs.

"Hey, slacker I haven't said hello to her yet!" Eve shouts.

"Yeah you did. You said no way, Claire oh my god. That counts for hello." Shane said. Eve shows him the finger.

"Loving it" Inside his bedroom he sees my bruise. "Shit. What exactly happened?" he asked. So I explain all of it. From when I went to stay with Myrnin to him injecting the deadly blue liquid to my day of pain and then my recovery. Oh, and Amelie and Oliver's engagement.

"Right ..." Shane said and trailed off. "Who cares? Your here now, and your staying here" Shane said and kisses me. I kiss him back and we make out.

This is the best day of my life.

Awww happy ending for everyone :D Myrnin went about his business and Amelie and Oliver got married :D

I hope enjoyed my story katy, and any new readers who read and couldn't be bothered to review.
