Hey guys so it's been a while. I've had a lot of personal stuff going on at the moment and just haven't had the chance to update or even think about writing, which sucks 'cos the ideas have been there I just haven't had the time but, at last I'm finally updating. I'm pleased with this chapter and hope that you guys are all happy with it too. This chapter was inspired by 'No good deed' from the Broadway show Wicked, which I so wanna see! So enjoy and please review to tell me if you love it. Thanks.

I promise no good deed I attempt again
ever again
'No good deed'
Wicked
Claire watched out the window as the black tinted car pulled up outside her apartment once again. She rolled her eyes and closed the curtains before stepping away. It had been a week since she had met up with Frank's old gang and the plans to get back into Morganville were finished. Claire looked at her reflection in the mirror. She had previously gone to a salon and her hair colour changed and styled to make it look like she was running scared from them. Claire smiled confidently at herself and grabbed a pair of sunglasses from the side and a small bag containing GPS. Although they were all aware of the existence of the town, none of them were able to get there from memory.
Claire walked out of the main door and began to slowly walk. The car behind her started again, slowly following her. She turned the corner and looked over the street, seeing the bikers in an alley. She looked behind her once more and began to ran down a dark alley. She heard the van doors opening behind her and suddenly Oliver was stood in front of her. Claire tried to turn around but Oliver grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. He pulled out a syringe and before Claire could notice, pushed the fluid inside of her. As Claire went limp, Oliver pulled her into arms and bundled her into the van before it started again, not noticing the bikers that were trailing after the van.
Claire awoke in a small room. She rubbed her eyes and looked round. There was nothing in the room apart from a door and a small window. Claire got up, shakily to her feet before trying to open the door, which of course was locked. She turned to the window next and looked through it. She smiled slightly as she took in the town square. Claire slid down the wall and sat down with her back against it. She hoped that Frank's old gang had managed to get into Morganville. The sound of keys clanging together came from outside and Claire quickly hid her face and let a few tears fall. The door opened and footsteps came close to Claire. She kept her head down and continued to shake.
"Claire" She looked up slowly and stared at Frank. She took a deep breath and asked shakily
"Why am I here? Who are you?" Frank grabbed her arm and pulled her to her feet. He led Claire through a labyrinth of corridors before he came to a set of doors. He knocked before opening the doors and walking in. Claire looked up quickly before looking back down at the floor. Amelie was sat in the center of the table with Oliver sat to the right of her and Myrnin to the left, looking bored and slightly out of it. As Claire turned to scan the rest of the room, she noticed Michael staring back at her. Claire tried to keep her expression blank as she looked away and looked back towards Amelie, who rose and looked back at her directly
"Claire Danvers, do you know who I am?" Claire looked down and shook her head. When she looked back up again Amelie was standing directly in front of her.
"Tell me the truth" Claire spoke quietly
"No" Amelie looked back at Oliver before looking back towards her
"Why did you run from Oliver?" Claire looked at her blankly and Oliver, using his vampire speed went to stand next to Amelie. Claire flinched and tried to take a step back. Amelie smiled coldly at this before stating
"I think you do remember. Otherwise why would you tell Rex about us?" Claire looked up at her and she laughed "Yeah. Oliver took care of him for me. Couldn't have an outsider knowing our business" Claire felt more tears escape as she remembered the state she had found Rex in. She shouldn't have got him involved in this. Frank let go of Claire's arm and she felt herself fall onto her knees. Amelie looked down at her and smirked
"You will go back to the Glass house with Michael and you will wait there until we pass judgment" She looked over her shoulder to Michael and motioned towards her. He walked forward slowly and helped Claire to her feet before walking her quickly towards the door. They made their way outside into the dark and as Claire looked towards the founders square. She heard the roar of a motorcycle starting and watched as it disappeared into the distance. She smiled and allowed Michael to help her into the blacked out car.
