Chapter 11
Claire's POV:
I couldn't see anything. I couldn't hear anything. There was constant ringing in my ears, however annoying it was I felt at peace. I was sitting in pure blackness. The blackness was consuming me, it smothered me, making me feel warm and safe. Suddenly a ripple of heat shocked through my body. I couldn't understand what was happening, sharp colours blasted through my mind, the colours were beautiful. They were like fireworks, they were slowly disappearing into the blackness that was consuming me, I had to fight to see them. I struggled against a wall of black jelly. I burst through the wall into a bright colourful room. Everything was shiny and sparkly. It was beautiful. It was twisting and changing into so many different shapes. Something pulled me out of the bright world and I was rushed into reality. What was reality now?
I tried to sit up in this, bed? I could see different faces hovering over me. I didn't recognise anybody. To my left there was a tall pale man, with curly shoulder length black hair, hanging around his dark eyes. He was smiling at me. He was, was dazzling. I turned to my right and there was a girl with short black hair, and she was so pretty, she was looking at me with concern. There was a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He looked like an angel. He was so handsome. Who are these people? Why are they here with me, and where the hell am I? I looked to my hand, there was a cannula sticking out connected to an IV stand full of god knows what.
I was so confused. Everyone was looking at me with pure concern. "Erm, where the hell am I and who are you?" As soon as I spoke I didn't recognise my own voice.
"Claire, it's Myrnin. You do remember me don't you?" Myrnin? Where did that name come from? He didn't look one bit familiar to me, I just shook my head.
"Do you remember Michael and Eve?" He gestured towards the blonde boy and the pretty girl to my right. I shook my head again.
"This is my fault" I head Michael? say.
"What is your fault? I don't understand where I am. Will someone please tell me? Please?" I was desperate too know. I was surrounded by strangers who I was supposed to know. My breathing started to hitch. I was panicking. I didn't like it. Where was my parents? I want my family.
"I- I. God you don't remember anything do you?" Michael was having a hard time understanding the situation as is seemed too. I was getting irritated and angry.
"God, why won't none of you tell me what happened" Not long after my plead a tall dark skinned man wearing a white lab coat entered the room, nodding to each of the strangers. He came and sat on the chair at the left side of me. I looked at him with steady eyes.
"Claire. I am afraid that when you fell you suffered from extreme concussion, subsequently giving you amnesia. I cannot determine how long it will take for your memory too return. I also cannot say it will return. If it does you will be very lucky. The best thing for regaining your memory is being around the things you once used to be familiar with. So I will leave it too you and your friends too decide what the best thing is for you. See you later Claire" The doctor left the room, and everyone including me gasped.
I'd lost my memory. I felt sick. "How old am I, and w-where are my parents?" I was shocked at my sudden diagnosis.
"Claire, your in Morganville and your eighteen, and your parent's are in Dallas. Before you ask, I shall call them and tell them to come to Morganville" Myrnin said. Gosh he was so, so dreamy.
"Thank you" was all I could say.
"CB I am so sorry honey. A lot happened before you lost your memory. Which means you don't remember Shane do you?" When she mentioned Shane, she began to tear up.
"Who is Shane" I said worrying.
"He is or was your boyfriend" BOYFRIEND? I CLAIRE DANVERS HAD A BOYFRIEND? Oh my god. That's the best thing I have heard since I have been in this grungy bed.
"I had a boyfriend? Where is he?" I was really intrigued.
"I-I don't know. He was taken away after he-" She cut off her words quickly when she gained a sharp look from Myrnin. "Claire, we'll come and check up on you later, okay?" I nodded. Michael and what's her name? began to leave.
"Erm what is your name?" I said towards the girl.
"Eve" she smiled and with that they left. Myrnin was still with me.
"Claire" He said stroking my cheek. "I should contact Amelie to determine where you should stay, and I shall come and visit you at a later time. Bye my dear" he bent to kiss my forehead and I was left on my own. He was gone in a complete blur, literally at super human speed. I collapsed against the bed and waited and waited.
Amelie's POV:
I should have known something would happen. This 'Ball' was a disaster. Myrnin had been attacked, Shane had inflicted the attack. Claire had nearly gotten killed by a crowd of hungry vampires. I was sat down on a regal chair looking into space when a tall dark figure stood in front of me. Oliver. He lifted my chin up slowly with his hands and knelt on the floor in front of me. We were the only ones left.
"Amelie. This is not your fault" He was trying to reassure me.
"But it is Oliver. I could have done more to prevent such a clash of Ego's" I breathed in deeply. Not that I needed too it was just a habit.
"It's not as if Myrnin is dead. He is fine, he went to the hospital with little Claire" Oliver was trying diffuse the bomb of worry and anger inside of me. As I began to stand my communication device began to ring. I looked at the tiny screen to see Myrnins name, and I flipped up the screen angrily and composed my self to answer.
"Yes Myrnin?" I said gently.
"We have a slight problem" he didn't sound one bit like himself.
"Young Claire, has lost her memory from the fall. That means everything I have taught her has been erased. She doesn't remember what we are. I-I don't know what too do" What Myrnin had said shocked me, he usually seemed to know what to do in a crisis. Not this time.
"Myrnin, I will come to your lab as soon as possible" I hung up the phone, I didn't need to tell Oliver, he had over heard.
Myrnin's POV:
I was back at my lab now, I couldn't stop pacing. Too many thought's was racing through my head. I couldn't think straight, but when could I? All I could see was Claire, the Claire she used to be when she first arrived to Morganville. Young, petite and afraid. She doesn't remember what I am. Maybe that is a good thing. But I couldn't help but think not knowing anything any more would be her death. I stopped pacing as soon as I heard the shack door open at the top of my lab and saw Amelie walking slowly and gracefully down the stairs. I greeted her with a bow and a smile. She drifted towards my couch and sat down with perfect posture.
"Amelie, what do you suppose we do?" I had to ask, I was so concerned for Claire and her safety.
"You say she doesn't remember anything?" I nodded. "She is your apprentice, what do you suppose we do?" Well I knew what I wanted, but would Claire be happy with it. To her I was just a stranger. This could be a fresh start for me with Claire.
"Well, she has forgotten everything she has learnt, so maybe she should stay with me so we can get started right away with teaching her again?" Amelie turned towards with with worry.
"Don't you have fear of killing her Myrnin? I remember warning you only the other day, after you nearly succeeded in killing her" I didn't know what to say too that.
"I- I suppose she could stay here and somebody check on us every now and then, too make sure I have not inflicted any harm on young Claire?" I suggested, Amelie met my eyes once again.
"As you wish Myrnin. But If I hear you have hurt her in the slightest possible way, she will return to the Glass house. Are we understood?" Then she left leaving a cool breeze behind. I jumped onto my couch with a pleased smile spreading across my face. I have one chance to start again and I am not going to ruin it.
