Sorry I haven't updated recently, hope you enjoy! If you don't tell me what you'd like to happen; a baby? A marriage? A death? Anything is possible xx
Shane's pov
Amelie's pearl white fangs are all I can see; glinting off the light. She's coming closer and closer until I can feel her poisonous breath on my neck; her eyes are gleaming a deep, bright red. The air around is thick; think with anger, anxiety…fear. I can feel each heartbeat; I can see the tense air forming my handcuffs, still Claire is screaming; our voices are rough with exertion; yet our screams are falling on deaf ears. Amelie's face is frozen, the ageless vamp looks no older than Claire; behind the founder's fearsome face I can see the terror of a child. Amelie wasn't always the founder of Morganville, she was once a child; a royal; ruled by a cruel father. She's like many from Morganville literally unable to cope with the outright desire to be normal; many would love to live like normal civilians, not having to constantly be alert for any danger carrying fangs- but we can't escape, neither can Amelie.
Eve's pov
OK. Shane is awake and Amelie is still going to bite him. I can't breathe; my lungs are aching; they are craving for breath but I don't want to breathe. If anyone doesn't deserve to be a vamp it Shane. He's seen it all before, his father became a crazed vamp, his mother was murdered by the vamps whilst, his little sister perished in a town ran by vamps- every horror of his life is due to vamps. Yet I see no fear in his eyes; they are clear…he can see it all. He's watching Amelie so very closely; each movement followed by his piercing eyes. Claire's not letting this happen; she would rather die than see this but, I don't think she's changing Amelie's opinion. Amelie takes no losses; maybe that's best; maybe I should storm in too and try; he's one of my best friends I can't let this happen… that's what I'm going to do.
Michael's Pov
No. Eve no. Eve's just launched herself into the silent war. We need to stop this now. Oliver is just standing there doing nothing; Shane's life is in danger and he just stands around doing nothing. I can't watch my friend be created into one of my kind. I'm a vamp and I wish I wasn't; it was my only chance of a life. It's not a life you choose; it's full of hatred; anger; indulgence. That's the main one, indulgence. Shane has no control, he takes what he wants; as a vamp he would be crazed, blood would just be from whoever he found first; he wouldn't play by the rules… he would want to be top. He'd lose every piece of his humanity; I can't let him do that. I lunge in trying to rip away Amelie's grip; she snarls and tries to bite; she'll never win this… because we won't let her.
Oliver's pov
Amelie, Amelie, Amelie where do I start? She's too kind and modest to be founder; she wants people to like her and you don't need to liked; you just need to be followed. That's all it is. If people follow you then you're safe; whether that's through fear or loyalty, followers save lives. I've seen many a time people fighting, people dying; it's how the world works- the one who wins, is always the stronger whereas the victim is the weak and generous. The more you give, the more they'll want to take. An example lies right in front of my eyes. Less than a century ago people wouldn't argue against the ruler, what they said was what happened; but now it's completely different they are fighting against Amelie. They are battling her; it's not morally right. Amelie is the leader; she should be followed but she isn't. Her face is pearl white, her beauty is unnatural… she's gorgeous but they don't see that. They see their friend hurt and in need… I only wish someone would have came to save me. No matter what they give me, no power or food will be enough because sadly I loved my mortal life; I may have not been much but I had a place in the world; becoming a vampire completely changed that. I'm hard faced, I'm cruel but I didn't used to be; I used to be in love with a girl until she died; I was going to die too but Amelie gave me the bite. She was young, not even into her fifth year of vampirism, she was inexperienced; she caused me dire agony… I wanted death for more than the pain but I know the chance of death taking me is very slim now- I'm feared… is that a good thing? I don't think so. The world of Morganville (even Blacke) believe I'm happy; at least I know I can act well…at least I know that.
I storm in now, I take Amelie's face in my hands and rip her away from Shane; she was near to creating a vamp but she didn't. Her teeth pierced his skin but no more than that; those wounds will heal… unlike the wounds on my heart and soul; they scar my entire life, for the whole of eternity.
Claire's pov
Oliver's just ripped Amelie away from Shane, I'm grateful very, very grateful; on release of Amelie's grip my stomach was punched… I won't lie it hurts like hell. I'm breathless, sickened and lightheaded. Shane's in a world of his own, along with Michael and Eve; Oliver is manoeuvring Amelie skilfully; she's vibrating with anger but the pains worse than when it began; all I can see is smudged images of life with the white, hot pain surrounding. My heads just pain; a solid wall of unnatural pain; my abdomen feels like it's alight, its burning in a solid ring. My hands –hell my whole body- are shaking, I have no control… my legs just slip away from me; the floor stops my fall-the floor is my only reality. Eve's here. She's holding my hand, probably looking me up and down… then she stops and gasps. I have to see; I lift my head slowly to see me encircled in blood… my baby; I haven't even seen it yet; my only thought while the world slips away is don't let my baby die.
So what do you think? A twist to the story. Oliver's hatred of being a vamp; Claire and her poor baby; hope you liked it. Should the baby and Claire survive?
