Claire

I hated Oliver! Why did he have he have to kiss Amelie?! She's mine! I threw a chair at wall and one of the legs broke off.

"Claire?"

"Go away!" I shouted, not caring who was on the other side.

I've been in her mind, she had feelings for me, not Oliver!

I paced around the room, with so much anger but no way to vent it. The door opened and I picked up a wooden chair leg from the floor and threw it at the guard. He just about caught it, before it went into his chest. "Go away!"

"The Founder wants you downstairs."

"She can come up here! Once she's finished with Oliver." I growled and turned my back on him, crossing my arms. He sighed and closed the door.

Is that why she broke up with me? So she wouldn't have to keep saying No to Oliver? Maybe she really does have no feelings for me anymore. I'm just being a pain following her around.

I picked up the chair and threw it at the window. The chair broke 2 more legs instead. I broke it's other leg by slamming it on the floor.

"Claire?" The door opened and Amelie came in. I picked up one of the legs and threw it her and hard as I could, but she caught it effortlessly. "Stop making so much noise. Your like a little child having a tantrum."

"Why should I be quiet when you would rather be with Oliver? Is that why you broke up with me? To be with him?!"

"Your jumping to conclusions."

"How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me! You just end it one day and expect me to leave you without a reason why!" I threw another chair leg at her which she caught too.

"Stop it Claire. Just calm down."

"You can't tell me to calm down. You won't even touch me, unless it's for locating Christopher but you let Oliver kiss you?!" More anger built up at what I had saw, I felt I couldn't hold anymore.

"He caught me by surprise, or I wouldn't have allowed it."

"You don't care about me, you just need me to find Christopher. Tell me why I shouldn't just walk out and let you find him yourself?"

"If you just calm down I will tell you."

"I'm not calming down!" I got the last leg and instead of throwing it, I just tried to plunge it in her chest. But Amelie held me against the wall and made me drop the stake.

"Claire, calm down." Being this close to her, smelling the light vanilla scent, my anger melted away replaced by frustrated tears.

"Why do you choose him?" I covered my eyes so she wouldn't see, but she pulled my arms down.

"I don't choose him, I never did." She wiped away tears with her sleeve. "I... I'm sorry for this."

I couldn't let her say something or kiss me and then I would melt and she would deny feelings for me again. "Yeah... Me too." I grabbed the chair leg from the floor and staked her. Amelie gasped and stumbled back. "You can't think I would melt every time you display feelings for me, then deny it afterwards. Not anymore."

I walked past her and out and heard Amelie fall to the floor. I got downstairs and two guards ran upstairs while another pinned me to the wall. "What did you do?"

"Get off me or else." I growled.

"Tell me what you did."

Without answering, I snapped his neck and went outside. Thinking briefly where to go, I headed to Myrnin's lab.

Amelie

When the guards pulled the stake out, they helped me up. "Find Claire."

"Yes Ma'am. What shall we do when we have her?"

"Bring her here. If she doesn't come, break her neck. Anything, just bring her here." The guards nodded and left. Not a few moments later, one of my guards came back.

"Gerrard has had his neck broken."

"Just find her. She'll live." The guard nodded and left. I sat down on the bed and frowned lightly down at the blood on my top. Oh well, I didn't much like this one anyway.

Melissa showed up and held up a paper. Do you see what you have caused?

"Just leave. I need to change and get back to work." I stood and went to my bedroom and picked out a blue top. I took off my bloodied top and before putting on the other, I looked at myself in the mirror.

The stake wound was healed, but there was still blood. Oliver had really hurt her, but Claire should've left when I told her to.

Or maybe this is my fault. I hadn't lost all affection for her and I had pretended to care for her more than I did, just to get out of my mind.

I sighed and picked up the blue top, about to put it on when Valerie walked in.

"Oh! Sorry miss, I didn't realize you were in here. I should go."

"No Valerie wait. Throw this away, and bring me a wet cloth." Valerie nodded. She took the top and left. I sat down on my bed and looked out of the window. The sun is setting and soon Claire will be able to wander as she pleased.

Valerie came back with the cloth. "Thank you. Valerie." I called to her before she left.

"Yes, Ma'am?"

"Your Claire's friend right?" I asked, wiping the blood off my chest.

"Um... Well we talk."

"It's fine, I don't mind. I need you to talk to her, when the guards bring her back. She's angry with me and she won't calm down." I put down the cloth and put on my top.

"She told me to go away..."

"She didn't care who was at the door. Your her friend and she trusts you. Get her to calm down then bring her to me."

"Yes, Ma'am." She nodded and took the cloth then left.

I sighed and left my room, closing the door and going downstairs. I smelt coffee, but presumed it was from Oliver's earlier visit.

When I entered the living room, Oliver stood looking at the different folders on the bookshelf. "So you got staked by your girlfriend. How tragic."

"She was angry and didn't want to be hurt again. It was not her fault."

"Well she wouldn't have to worry about that, if you were straight with her. Telling her you feelings for her, when you can't wait for her to leave."

"Your bothered about it now? I thought you wanted me with you, or has the incident with Claire made you see things differently?"

"None of those things. Well, I still think you would be better with me. I wouldn't stake you in a fit of rage." Oliver turned around and smirked.

I ignored him and picked up a folder that had been left on the desk. I opened and found a note. At first I thought it was from Melissa, then I read the note. I knew instantly who it was from, from the scrawny handwriting.

Claire has came to me, as she is unbearably angry with you. She says you can stay with Oliver all you want, as it is obvious you don't want her at your house. She has sent the guards away from her and you shall find them in the garage of your house. Don't worry they are not dead. I know how attached you are to them. She doesn't want to see you again and she says not to come looking for her unless you genuinely care for her.

P.S. Please come visit me I haven't seen you for a long while.

"Well then, that leaves you with me." Oliver took the note off me and put it down. "What shall we do as a couple?"

"Just leave, Oliver I'm not in the mood." I closed the folder and put it away.

"It's not my fault she broke up with you."

"Oliver, leave. Now." I am at the very end of my patience and I couldn't be dealing with Oliver's games now.

"Fine. See you later." He left and closed the door behind him. I listened for him to leave completely, then all the bottled up emotions I had, flooded out. Anger, frustration, strong affection...

I thought I could keep Claire away just out of reach of her, but now she is gone and I couldn't bring myself to make her return.

This is what happens when I play her like a toy and now she's gone.

Oh no D:
