Amelie's P.O.V

I paced around the room, frustrated with myself. Why did I do that? I am supposed to show that I didn't care if I didn't see her again, not touch her hair!

Keep calm... deep breaths...

I went upstairs and lay on my bed. I couldn't keep doing this... Claire will never stop and in the end I might just cave in...

No. I had faced worse... Suitors would not leave me alone when I was human and in the early stages of being immortal. It was just this suitor was female.

"You look stressed." Oliver said.

I sat up. "I don't."

"I didn't know staying away from your girlfriend was so difficult."

"Go away, Oliver. I need time to myself." When the guards showed up behind him, Oliver shrugged.

"Fine, I will let you wallow in your sadness. Have fun." He said then walked away, down the stairs, then outside.

"Leave me please." I told the guards. They nodded and left closing the door behind them. I lay back down.

I have to get this under control. No-one could see me like this. I sat up and as I wondered how to hide everything when Claire would inevitably show up, I heard thumps downstairs.

I frowned slightly and opened the door and went down the stairs. I saw 3 of my guards on the floor with their necks broken. I stepped over them and went into the living room, where more of my guards lay incapacitated and in the middle of them was none other than Myrnin.

"What have you done?"

"Hello, my sweet lady. I wanted to talk to you, but these men would not let me. Plus they were in my way, you see and that annoyed me."

"You did this for the sole purpose of talking to me?" I've known Myrnin to do crazy things, but this was a new one. He would often kill people if they got in between our conversations, centuries ago, but he hadn't done that since.

"Well, that's part of the reason." Myrnin fiddled with his hands, which he almost never did. I turned around and saw Claire in the doorway.

"When will you leave me alone?"

"When I know you don't care about me, anymore." She said. "But yesterday you showed you still care about me."

"I was thinking about something else. I've told you multiple times-"

"You don't want to see her again, yes yes." Myrnin said, before Claire could open her mouth. "But I would prefer that you get back together again, so you don't keep coming to see me looking like someone has died. The negative atmosphere is not healthy for Bob."

"No-one cares about Bob." That had been the subject of most of our conversations.

"Claire does. He looks to her like a mother."

"Well... Can we talk about this late-" Claire began.

"No! You do love Bob, don't you? Your just pretending because Amelie's here. Right?" Myrnin asked.

I spotted an opportunity. "Maybe I shall go then. Claire will tell you the truth, without me here." Without waiting for a reply, I disappeared upstairs to my bedroom and closed the door.

I could hear Mynrin getting agitated, that Claire didn't like his pet. At least that will keep Claire occupied.

I needed to think about what I'm going to do about her. She won't leave and she will probably do something and then she will never let it drop.

I sat on the bed then came up with an idea. Just at that moment, Claire came through the door. "What have I told you about knocking?"

"Sorry." I could see in her eyes, she is planning something.

"Alright you can stay. Since you won't leave me alone." Claire looked surprised for a moment.

"No, I want you to say I can stay because you admit you have feelings, not just to keep me away." Claire crossed her arms.

"I have admitted them to myself. Stay or go back to Michael's house. Your choice."

"No, you have to admit them to me or show me that you still love me."

Why can't she just say yes, she will move back in or go back or Michael's house and be done with it? "I'm not like your other boyfriend, Claire. I won't kiss you every chance I get."

"Me and Shane didn't do that."

"I'm losing patience. Stay away and don't bother me, or go to Michael's and don't bother me."

Claire's P.O.V

"Fine, I'll stay here! But you need to show me or admit to me-"

"I already have." Amelie said, standing up. "Now I would like you get out of my room. I didn't invite you in."

"Your-" Before I could finish, Amelie pushed me out and closed the door, not slammed like I was expecting. I sighed and leaned against the wall.

Well, I guess I made it here... Maybe bringing Myrnin was a bad idea. He literally wouldn't leave me alone, until I said that I care for Bob very much.

I know Amelie only let me stay, so she wouldn't have to worry about me ambushing her or something. But I will get it out of her and then maybe I will forgive her for the insult about me and Shane.

I went into my room, inadvertently slamming the door and collapsed onto my bed. I suddenly felt really tired. Maybe it was the adrenaline? Do vampires make adrenaline?

Probably not. It's probably just mental stress. I went under the covers and tried to get some sleep.
