Amelies POV

The humans all stood staring at me, as I crashed their little gathering. I looked down at Myrnin, who was crouching on the ground, hands extended towards Claire, a feral look in his eyes. Fool. She is a human, who may be smart and somewhat a help sometimes, but she is a human, and like Ada, easily replaced.

"You will tell me. She can wait" my voice echoed around the house. Michael now stood in the doorway, on his way to get more bandages. He seemed fazed at my presence, and seemed to be working something out. I innerly sneered at the thought; he is of no danger to me.

The room around me shifted, the dust hanging in the air, as if hushed by a greater presence. It seemed that I was dominating their attention, and still not receiving any answers. So I did what I was known for. I started Theo down, giving him a silent warning, for time is precious, and we were running out.

He lifted his head to meet my gaze and sighed. As the others unfroze and began their commotion, making me more .No grace or style in their movements, just inner hunger for power. As always.

"Shane and Michael, take her upstairs and make sure she takes the pill I gave her, make her comfortable. I will be up soon in a few hours to check on bandages, she will be sleepy" he said in a soft tone. I cannot understand how he can be soft with them where chaos reigned outside, and by the looks of it, he has experienced quite a bit of it. He didn't seem to care for himself as his wounds continued to bleed.

Shane took her upstairs while Michael grabbed a glass of water and ushered them, casting me a second glance. Myrnin was standing beside me, uttering nonsense as he usually is. He may be saner these days, but the past is never too far behind. For all of us. I gazed at the house before me, untidy and dirty, cluttered with electrical nonsense, no wonder the males nowadays aren't the gentlemen of the past, the gentlemen who opened doors and changed the way we see the world…

No. I am Amelie. The founder. I will NOT fall to this weakness... this thing that made us suffer, that made us as weak as the humans. I shook my head internally, clearing myself of the thoughts, and the past. My past. Just in time to save me, Theo had returned and started to explain.

"On my way here, I had experienced an attack. You see, Magnus was involved and he seemed to recognise me, as your subject" He seemed to be serious, but an alarm had gone off in my head.

"He recognised you? But..but I made sure…" I shook my head, not uttering the words that clashed in my mind, screaming insults at me. He couldn't. He must be lying, for I made sure Magnus would never remember, I took every precaution, even continuing to live in this scorching desert, where it was impossible to escape from the sun.

"Yes, Amelie. He attacked me, but with no intention of killing me. Just to be alive enough to deliver a message" He looked suspiciously at me, his eyes betraying a little emotion. But it was enough for me to know. I only guessed he knew what happened a thousand years ago, and clearly my outburst seemed to confirm his suspicions.

"A message?" I enquired, as curious as I am. I needed to keep a calm tone, and it's easy since I had so many practises with it over the years. But it would take a lot more than that to regain control.

"He left a blood vial, for Michael I think, but also as a warning to you. It was Eves blood, and…It contained draug." I stiffened at his last word. And undauntedly the vial would be with Michael, who would try to locate Eve. A shiver ran through me, causing violent shaking of my body. It seemed like my mind has shut down, paralyzing me from my centre, to keep out the truth. Because I just couldn't deal with it, couldn't grasp his intentions, even though I know what it means. What it also means for Morganville.

"Amelie? What does this mean? Why?" Theo paled at my reaction, giving me a hand to rest upon, to contain myself. Beside me, Myrnin smiled in glee, looking at me like a child with the biggest secret he has ever heard. Myrnin knew, he was there, a thousand years ago, as he helped me control my powers, for I was a young vampire back then.

"Silly Theo, you see, this means Magnus has selected a new queen. He's adding to the game, balancing the odds and dealing a checkmate, you see?" how easy it was to say those words for him, how easy it was to reveal our secret to Theo, vulnerable Theo who cared about everyone else.

"What about Eve?" He asked, not liking the development. He knew secrets in this town came at a cost, never given freely. I gathered my strength and stood up, composing myself like the queen I am.

"If he succeeds, he will create something powerful. A danger. But this is not certain, as last time…it went wrong" again, I winced at the memory. It will forever be carved in my inner being, and forever locked away.

"But you see…he wants you for exchange" Myrnin looked at me in interest. An exchange? Me for a human? I saw Theo look guiltily upstairs, where the children would be. No matter, I will deal with them later.

"Magnus always wanted a lot. But for now… we will have to come up with a plan, and it starts now" I said softly, a hint of a smile playing on my lips. He knows he can never remember, never know of my mistake. Theo would just complicate things; add a weakness to the group. So I did what I had to do.

I looked at him, not giving a chance to escape, and locked my gaze with his.

Claire's POV

The boys made sure I was comfortable, fluffing pillows and adjusting the sheets. Michael sat down on the bed, holding the glass as an offer to me. Shane was just rushing around and asking stupid questions like "Are you too warm?" And "Do you want more pillows?" It's nice that he cared for me, but this constant rushing around had me tired and dizzy.

"You should drink the medicine" Michael reminded me, giving me the glass. The medicine. Of course. The glass threw rainbows on the white sheets, and made me smile. I missed this, the beauty of life. It must be crazy that I was fascinated by the rainbows caused, but it was a big improvement from being a ghost, not ever seeing these things.

I placed the pill in my mouth and swallowed with the water. I felt as it made its way down my body. It was weird, to be able to feel and drink things again. I handed the glass back and found Shane curled up near me in the bed, as Michael left, quietly as ever.

It was nice to have him so close, so near me. I wanted to hold his hand but sudden drowsiness caught me off guard and I yawned. I haven't done that in a while. I felt my lids close as I heard Shane whisper.

"Il keep the nightmares away" his soft tone had helped me to close my eyes and drift off to a state of dreams, or so I thought.

Mostly in dreams, I would drift off into a dreamless night, tuning out the world until it was time to go, but this time, I was greeted by faces and a golden mist, shimmering at me in little sparks. It was more like I was watching them be, something unfolding in front of me; the golden mist had receded, making way for a clearer picture. I didn't notice who they were until one of them spoke, a man with jet black hair and aqua eyes, someone I had seen before, someone dangerous.

"Amelie" he whispered, but it was loud enough for me to hear. They were standing outside Morganville's church, avoiding the sunlight. It was the words that she uttered that frightened me to my core, and how she said them so longingly.

"Magnus"

I hope that wasn't too bad, and since you all liked Magus's POV last chapter, I promise to include it in the next one, which will clear up a few things more. Hope you liked the story and it wasn't too bad, review to let me know what you think!xx
