Review and Review!

Amelie's Point of View

I can't believe he's here. Myrnin said he was dead. I paced around the room unable to get the image of him out of my head. He was just sitting there, bruised and cut up but he was alive.

"Amelie?" Claire asked.

"Not now, Claire." I learned back against the desk.

"Um... What are you going to do?" I ignored her question. I needed Myrnin.

"Get Myrnin for me." I said. She nodded and walked out. Why was he here? What did he want with me? What was he?

These questions kept spinning around my mind. Myrnin came in and closed the door. I glared at him then threw him against the wall, almost choking him.

"You said he was dead."

"Yes, I did. I broke his neck, I heard it snap. But I didn't hear any heartbeat before that, so he could have played dead."

I let go of him and paced around. "How are you supposed to kill him then? Behead him, then set him on fire?"

"How am I? He's not after me, Amelie."

"Well, I can't touch him and he's got inside my mind once already. You didn't seem to have a problem with it."

"Well, I did actually. I can't touch him either, it must be his skin or an illusion. You just need to figure it out." Myrnin took a seat.

"Your the scientist!"

"Alchemist, technically and he wants you. He was more miffed to find that you had company."

"You're going to help me." I said ,firmly.

"What is the big deal with this boy? Apart from the fact he's not human or vampire and his skin feels strange." Myrnin asked. I didn't have time for this trivia.

"Just help me. Perform any experiment on him, to find out how to kill him."

"Amelie-" I quickly lost patience.

"Will you help me or not?"

"Just calm down and I will figure something out." He said, standing up and walking towards me.

"That's not an answer."

"I won't give you one just yet. Just-" I growled and threw him across the room. The guards stepped forward.

"Get rid of him. I don't need him anymore. Fetch Oliver." I ordered.

"Yes, Ma'am." They said and dragged Myrnin to his feet. I turned my back and gripped the desk, attempting to calm.

Claire's Point of View

When the door opened I stepped forward. Myrnin came out and the guards walked away down the steps. Christopher had moved from his seat to the ones on the other side of the Reception area.

"How is she?" I asked.

"Angry. But more frustrated that he isn't dead, I figured. She wouldn't tell me why he is such a big deal, but I guess she was really disturbed by him."

"Can I go in and see her?" I walked forward, but Myrnin grabbed my arm.

"I wouldn't. She threw me against the wall twice and nearly choked me. I know you," he cleared his throat then lowered his voice, not that it would make any difference to the vampires. "Love her but she could hurt you."

"I know... But maybe I could help her? I heard she needed help and Oliver might not help her." I shrugged off his arm and went in. Myrnin protests, but I ignore him and close the door.

Amelie is sitting at her desk, staring down at a piece of paper in the folder.

"Claire leave me." Amelie said.

"I've come to help." I said, sitting down. Amelie looked up.

"I don't need help. I've called for Oliver, for a reason. Thank you for finding me, but I don't need you."

"What if Oliver doesn't help you? I will do anything you need me to do."

"He will. I will make him. Just go back home and wait until this is over." Amelie's voice was emotionless, but she at least she hadn't thrown me anywhere.

"No, I will stay. You'll need me."

"I don't need you, so go home." Amelie said, more firmly.

"You think he will target me because you care about me? I can take care of myself. Just let me help."

Amelie stood up and she eyes swirled red. "Go home. Now."

"But-" In a flash, Amelie had me by my neck against the wall.

"No buts. You do what I ask of you, that's all. Now go home." Amelie let go and stepped back. I rubbed my neck.

"Just remember you love me-"

"I don't. There's no time for sentimental feelings. I only took you in to help me get rid of the stalker. Now go, or I'll have my guards throw you out."

"Th-That's not true. I know it isn't." I said, but couldn't help feeling a huge hole had been punched in my chest.

"Guards." Amelie called. The guards stepped forward. "Take Claire away. Next time she wants to come without appointment, just throw her out."

One of the guards took my arm and led me out but the second guard wasn't needed. I just felt numb and almost didn't notice Oliver standing there. Maybe he felt just a tiny but sorry for me.

Amelie's Point of View

"That was-" Oliver started.

"Don't start. Will you help get rid of him, yes or no?"

"Fine. Your not going to stop with this, are you?"

"I need to find out how to kill him. Try a wooden stake first, then silver. Then anything else you can think of." I ordered.

"Are you going to apologize to her, once he's dead? Because I know you turned off your emotions to say that to her."

"I had none to begin with." I said. The door crashed open. "Myrnin you really have to-"

Myrnin pushed me back but because I could kill him, Oliver there him to the floor and held me back. "How could you say that to her?"

"Touch me again, and you'll be lucky to get away-"

"I don't care about your threats. You could have at least-"

I've had enough. I grabbed a pencil off my desk and threw it at Myrnin which lodged in his chest. He fell back down. Oliver opened his mouth to say something, but I beat him to it.

"Don't ask questions just help me!" I shouted.

"Okay, fine. Just calm down a little." Oliver said.

"I can't calm down. You haven't been locked in a room for days, weeks maybe had mind games been played on you and almost starved."

"You do have feelings, then." Oliver held my face. "Listen. You've been through worse. You survived the virus, the draug, your father. Don't let this little boy get inside your head."

I got his hands off me. I went around my desk and pulled out a pad and pencil. "Note down everything." I said. With a quick glance at Myrnin I said, "And take the pencil out of him."

"Would you like me to take him out first?" He asked.

"Fine, just do it." I sat down suddenly feeling mentally exhausted. Oliver dragged Myrnin outside and then came back in.

"I will have to find him. He's disappeared."

"Just get him and find his weak point." I said. Oliver nodded and closed the door.

Well... this chapter just came to me. I started writing then it kept coming... but Amelie will make it up to Claire :) and Christopher will be experimented on! When he's found lol :)
