Amelie's Point of View

"Hello, my dear Lady! How are you today?" Myrnin asked, coming in to my office at home.

"I'm fine. Why are you here?" Even though I had banned him from my house, I knew it wasn't long before Myrnin found a reason to bother me.

"I've just come to see an old friend. How is Claire doing?"

"She's fine. What are you doing here? Have you forgotten I have banned you for a month?"

Myrnin shrugged. "No, I haven't forgotten. I came back because my month long separation from you," he over dramatically pretended to be upset. "Is over. It's has been a terrible not seeing you."

"Well, you have to wait a little longer. It's only the 15th." I learned against my desk. "What do you want?"

Myrnin shook his head. "No, no a month passes quickly for us. We do not time watch like the humans."

I really wasn't in the mood for this. "I'm not going to ask again."

Myrnin huffed and crossed his arms. "When can I have Claire back with me? Bob won't eat his greens and he only takes food off Claire. Also, also, before you say anything, I need help with experiments."

"Come back and ask when your ban is lifted. Go, now."

"Amelie-"

"Go now, before I give the order for my guards to forcefully make you leave." Myrnin just stood and crossed his arms. Stubborn as always. "Take him out." I ordered my guards, then walked past him and ignored the shouts of protest from Myrnin.

I went into the kitchen to prepare a drink for Claire. I imagine she hasn't had any blood in a long while. I put the cup into the microwave and switched it on. While I was waiting, I thought back to the conversation I had, had with her. No matter what I do, she will always stay with me. I would have dropped it, if not for the fact I had strangled a few hours before.

She can't stay with me and she won't go willingly to Michael's. She may fall for him, she might not, but it's a better alternative than being accidentally killed by me.

The microwave's ping brought me out of my thoughts. I took the cup out and went upstairs.

Claire's Point of View

I lay on my bed, listening to Amelie's conversation. It didn't last long, mainly Myrnin asking if he can have me for the day to feed his creepy pet. I shivered. Even though I had died and come back, the fear is still there.

Soon enough, Amelie ordered Myrnin out. He obviously didn't move, so Amelie told her guards to get him out, then she went into the kitchen and I heard the microwave switch on. When it pinged, she came upstairs. I looked out the window. It's night and the sky looks pretty. Without the streetlights blocking out the night sky, the stars are shining.

"I used to watch the sky when I was young." Amelie said. I sat up, surprised. When will she stop sneaking up on me?

"I bet that was long ago."

"So very long ago. Maybe now, you see why I ordered for so little streetlights." Amelie said. She came into my room and shut the door then went to the window.

"I thought it was for the vampires benefit."

"It is. It's also so I can see the stars at night." Amelie shrugged slightly. "But I haven't come here to discuss the stars." She turned around and looked at me.

"I'm not moving in with Michael. Whatever you try won't work." I said, before she could say anything. Well, I guess that was what she was going to say.

"Yes, your as stubborn as Myrnin." Amelie came and sat next to me. "I don't want you to get hurt, but when I keep you from seeing others, I make things worse. At least Michael won't be as over protective as me."

"Your the best protector anyone can have. No-one comes near me... much, when they figure out your my Protector." I squeezed her hand. Amelie looked at me and smiled a little.

"I can see there is no convincing you." Amelie handed over the still warm cup of red juice. "Drink."

"I'm alright." I pushed the cup away.

"You wanted to carry on what you started before... I almost killed you."

"You didn't-" I started to say, but Amelie interrupted.

"Drink it, Claire." Amelie said, firmly. I sighed and took the cup then drank it all, trying not to think of what it actually was.

"So, um..." I started, putting the cup on the dresser. "When do you want to do... Um..." I trailed off, not sure how to finish it. Amelie pushed my hair behind my ear, then kisses me.

There was a brief hesitation, then I kissed back. I felt butterflies, but then I an uplifting feeling. Amelie pushed me back on the bed, with her almost on top of me.

Then she pulled back, and before I could do anything she placed both hands on the sides of my head and said, "Sleep."

Amelie's Point of View

Once Claire was sleeping, I took a moment to neaten her hair, then I got up and went downstairs to my office. I picked up my phone and dialled Michael.

"What do you want this time?"

"You want Claire back with you, don't you?" I asked, ignoring his rude greeting. I picked up a brush from my bag and quickly brushed my hair. I didn't have a mirror, but at least I would know my hair is presentable.

"Yeah... Why? I mean-"

"Never mind. Just come here and take her to your house. And whatever you do, try not to make her visit me. I don't want to see her." Then I hung up and went to the mirror. I wasn't as bad as I thought I was. I would still need to change my clothes so no-one could smell Claire on me.

I went upstairs to my room and changed into a light clothing and dark blue jacket. A knock on my door came. "Come in."

My guard stepped in. "Michael Glass is here for you."

"Show him up." The guard nodded and left. I went to Claire's room and watched her sleep. "I apologize for this. But there would be no other way I get you to leave. Your safer with Michael."

"What did you mean you don't want to see her again? I thought you were obsessed with her." Michael asked, coming into the room.

"I almost killed her. I found her speaking with someone else and I didn't think about it. I strangled her. Take her, she's safer with you. I'm sure that's enough reason to keep her from me." I said, then left the room.

Michael came out, carrying Claire. "Thanks."

"Just go." I ordered. He nodded and went down the stairs and left through the garage.

So yeah this is the plot twist :) Was it a good or bad one? Dun dun dunnnnn...
