A minor change in this chapter. I changed Point of View to P.O.V. It's a lot of effort (for me. To you it would be no effort at all) to put it in every point that the point of view changes :P

Anyway Read and Review!

Amelie's P.O.V

Staying away from Claire had been harder than I thought. Whatever I do, she is on my mind and Oliver has to frequently snap me back to the present. I couldn't concentrate on anything and Oliver is getting irritated. I might have said she was tiring me and it was safer to send her to Michael's, but that was when I had switched my emotions off.

"Ma'am? Excuse me, Ma'am?"

I blinked and focused on my guard. "Yes?"

"Claire Danvers is here to see you. We have told her to leave, but she insists it's urgent."

Claire... Why did even the mention of her name stir up such emotions? "Leave her out. She needs to make an appointment with me." I felt guilt, which I quickly stamped down. I couldn't be like this. It was bad enough that Oliver kept prodding me, then he reprimands me that I can't keep my mind off her.

I sigh and get up, looking for something that I could do. I hadn't noticed my guard had left. My office is pristine as usual, so I couldn't do much in the way of tidying.

I went downstairs to where Bizzie is working. "Is there anything for me?"

"No, sorry Founder."

I looked around at where the people had appointments with me sat. Today there was no-one there. Why was when Claire is with me I am busy, but now I made her go away there is nothing here to occupy me?

I went back upstairs to get my coat and my bag, then headed out to see Myrnin.

Arriving at Myrnin's lab, I let myself in and walked down the stairs. Myrnin is busy fiddling with something I couldn't put a name to and decided not to worry about it.

"Myrnin."

"Hello my dear, I am just looking at this marvellous piece of rock." He wouldn't turn around and I needed his attention. I took the rock off him. "Hey, that's mine!"

"I need your... Assistance." I held the rock out of Myrnin's reach, which was a little hard as he is taller than me.

"With what?" Myrnin stopped trying to get the rock.

I took a breath and said, "I can't stop thinking about Claire."

Myrnin smiled. "Well, good because Claire can't stop thinking about you either. Go and say you want her back at your house I'm sure she won't question you."

"It's not as easy as that." I sighed and sat in Myrnin's chair. "I could kill her again."

"You have to stop fretting over this, Amelie. You were annoyed, it's understandable. But if you really meant to kill her, surely there is quicker ways then throttling."

"You don't understand." I picked up a scalpel, that was carelessly left on the arm of the chair for someone to slice their finger on. "Keeping her away makes sure it doesn't happen again."

"But now you cannot stop thinking about her and she is interfering with your work." Myrnin took the scalpel from me. "Is she really tiring you out?"

"Of course not. I just needed a reason to tell Oliver."

"Ollie just wants you to love him again. Ugh." I ignored Myrnin's petty insults about Oliver. "Anyway, as I was saying just go and see her. Once."

"That will just make it harder." I sighed. "I will get over her."

"Claire won't." Myrnin said. "And it will be a while, what with your mind occupied." He frowned at the scalpel and then slit his finger and dropped blood on a glass slide.

"What are you doing?" I asked. Then I had second thoughts and I didn't want to know. "Never mind." I got up and left his lab going up the stairs.

"Amelie!"

Claire's P.O.V

I had, had enough. I couldn't concentrate on anything and even though Isabel is a good friend (but she will never replace Eve) I really needed to see Amelie. I couldn't get past the guards at Founder's Square, so I went to Myrnin's to see if he could figure out a way to get Amelie alone.

I was walking down the alley, when the very person I wanted to see came up the stairs. I was a shocked for a moment then blurted out, "Amelie!"

Amelie looked up, but quickly put on her emotionless mask. "Hello, Claire. Myrnin's waiting for you."

I grabbed her arm before she could walk away. "Wait, please I need to talk to you."

"I've already told you that I don't want to see or speak to you. What don't you understand?" Amelie took her arm out of my grip.

"That you pretending you don't care about me, when you look like your 1,000 miles away and you go all stoic when you see me. You still care for me." I said, then took a breath. "I don't care that you strangled me, I just don't want you to pretend I don't exist."

Amelie stared at me for what felt like ages, then she touched my hair for a second. A little emotion came through her mask and I just knew that she still had feelings for me. Then she dropped her hand. "Goodbye, Claire. Don't bother me again." Then she walked off and I was left standing there.

But now I know what I always knew, I went downstairs to Myrnin's lab. "Myrnin!"

"Yes, Claire?" Myrnin turned around from a slide of blood.

"Um, I spoke to Amelie. She touched my hair."

Myrnin raised an eyebrow. "And your telling me this why...?"

"I need to get Amelie to lower her mask. I saw that she still has feelings for me. Your going to help me."

"Excuse me? Are you ordering me?"

"Please?" Please yes, I really need help.

Myrnin sighed. "Very well, then. I can't have Amelie back that mangy rat."

"Stop calling him names. And thank you!" I was going to hug him then thought better of it. "We got to do."

Yay, Amelie is showing some emotion! I did do a different version of this chapter but it was... terrible. Ramble-y and it was not as nicely done as this chapter :)
