Hello once again. I apologise for the long delay, I have had a severe case of writers block hence the long await for this chapter. I usually update once every 1-2 weeks or something, but this has been left for a long while. I have tried to begin this for the last few days struggling where to begin, as it was a very shocking last chapter for me and for you and it was having to match up to it. I also accidently deleted the first few attempts of writing this haha. I just write and see where it takes me. So here you go guys, my latest chapter! :) hope you enjoy!

Chapter 17

Myrnins POV:

I backed up suddenly, sending myself crashing into my broken antique bookcase; I looked down to see my hands covered in blood. I remembered having Claire in my arms, having our bodies so close together, being able to taste her divine blood. The thought sent shivers down my spine, forcing my fangs to descend. I was once again hungry. I broke from my reverie when a low vicious growl erupted throughout the lab. I lifted my head suddenly to be met with Amelie's icy glare. Her pale petite hand grabbed onto my hair and pulled me roughly into a standing position.

"You fool!" Amelie spat. She was standing with such grace, her hair flowing loosely over her shoulders. She was wearing a pastel pink peplum dress, white blazer, and white dolly shoes and a blood red necklace possibly a gift from her old love Samuel Glass. I was admiring her ice sculpture beauty when her hand whipped across my face. "What have you done? Where is Claire?!" she sobbed. Seeing Amelie break down was not something I was used to seeing, let alone anyone else.

"I- I really didn't mean to. I don't know what came over me" I dropped my gaze to the floor in shame.

"I do not care for your apologies Myrnin. I warned you, and you didn't listen" she turned away from me kneeling on my lab floor in front of young Michael Glass, Amelie began to stroke his cheek when a tear fell from her face splashing onto Michael's hair. Her sobs got stronger and stronger. I walked slowly over to her and placed my hand gently on her back. "Get off me!" her scream was loud enough to be heard all over Morganville.

"Amelie, I am sorry. What more do you want me to say?"

"Oh, you're sorry? That is all you have to say? You killed Michael, and you may have also killed Claire. I warned you of what I would do and what would happen if you were to touch her once more. Don't you understand anything?" Her voice was getting stronger. Her anger re-building. As she began to rise from the floor. I stepped back.

"I don't know why I did it, I don't know what else to say" I whimpered. The regret I was feeling was unexplainable.

"I don't think you need to say anything more" she closed her eyes slowly; when she opened them again they were pure crimson, with a silver lining her irises. Power was coming from her in waves, touching every part of my body. Pain ripped through me. I slowly collapsed to my knees, my ears and eyes began to bleed, sending blood into my mouth. My throat began to close and I found myself gasping for air that I didn't need. My hands rose to my throat somehow trying to stop the pain. I couldn't take it anymore. I leaned forward holding myself up with my hands; I began to cough up blood, as my body began to shake.

"Am-e-lie, ple-a-se sto-p" I could hardly speak, even I couldn't fathom what I had said. Amelie began to walk towards me her fangs descending and glistening in the light putting mine to shame. I gulped loudly trying to hide the fear that bubbled inside of me.

"You really did make the wrong choice old friend" her voice was intimidating and low. I backed up slowly finding myself against the wall. I was the perfect prey, no way out now. Amelie was stalking slowly towards me her eyes locked on mine, I felt myself melting away. Fight.

"Amelie wait!" I managed to say.

"Wait for what?" she hissed. "Wait for you to do more damage?" I had to do something to stop her, anything at all. Think, for goodness sake think. She didn't stop her face was so close to mine.

"Michael is still alive!" I shouted just as her fangs plummeted into my neck.

Eves POV:

Tears were falling as I picked Claire's light and limp body up in my arms. Michael was down there on his own. I hate myself for leaving him, but he's immortal Claire is not. I had to leave him, I had no choice. I ran all the way down the mouth of the alley to my car and put her gently into the back of the hearse. I ran to the driver's side and drove as fast as I could all the way to the hospital.

I arrived outside of the hospital and rushed to the back of the hearse to find Claire convulsing. Her body was shaking so much that my car was shaking too.

"Help, Help! Somebody please!" I sobbed. Nobody came; I rushed over to some paramedics that grabbed Claire suddenly. They picked her up in a rush and placed her on a Gurney and rushed her into the hospital, I had to run to catch up. They were all over her speaking in 'Doctor' talk. Nothing I could understand. One paramedic placed a needle into her forearm.

"What's that?" I had to shout to be heard over all the panic and rushing.

"Penicillin" a young blonde woman said who was gripping onto the side of the Gurney.

"We're losing her, she is going into Anaphylactic shock" one of the male doctors shouted.

"Pass me the Epinephrine" they lead her through to large white doors and before I could follow they were closed and I was left here on my own wondering whether my best friend was going to survive.

Was that a cliff hanger? I am not so sure. Sorry it's so short; please give me some Ideas for my next chapter, thank you. I also apologise for this terrible chapter haha, I hope some of you enjoyed it though. My last chapter I was hoping for 10 reviews. I got 9, but that's still good. So I am hoping to get to 90 reviews before I next update my dearies, I don't like odd numbers for some strange reason. Fall of Night is now out in the UK, and I cannot wait to buy it. I am so excited. Anyway thank you for reading, and please Review. Much appreciated. Hope you enjoyed it; it's partially rubbish due to my writers block. Thank you.
