Amelie's Daughter (Morganville)

Not Desire!

Claire sat uncomfortably on the edge of the wooden chair as she digested what Amelie had told her about her daughter. She didnt think it was possable that Amelie could have children never mind a girl not so different from her self. "Why... was Oliver so... Respectful to her?" Claire asked shyly. "Desire grew up with Oliver being her father figure, now he protects her like its his own child. He will never have kids and he sees Desire at his chance of having a Daughter. They have a father Daughter relationship now" Amelie said with warmth in her voice, as if imagining the memories of the girl growing up. "And Myrnin?" Claire asked. "Where to begin..." Amelie said "He started of by helping me to raise her. Non of us were used to bringing up kids and I needed the most help available, while still keeping her safe. Myrnin then taught her while Oliver taught her things like manners and posture and how to be a lady, Myrnin taught her how to blow things up and how to attack using arrows, guns and chains. Then Myrnin was someone she could confide in and thier relationship has blosmed" Amelie finished with a genuine smile across her thin lips. She looked up at the metal clock on the wall and stood up, "Claire would you like a ride to your home, Im going that way anyway" Claire didnt like to refuse the Founder so politly accepted her offer. They walked out with the 3 guards and got to the blacked out limo waiting at the curb.

They sat in silence as the limo drove through town, untill Amelies mobile phone started beeping. She quickly open the phone "Yes Oliver?" she said impatiently with  a cold look on her face. But suddenly the look on her face turned to horror and she started shaking, "no..no NO" she started and yelled at the driver, "Take us to the glass house" Claire had never seen Amelie look so scared and frightened. She always had a cool, impassive face, but now she looked terrorfied. "The Glass House?" Claire stuttered, worried Eve, Shane or Michael were in trouble. To which the founder just nodded her head.

Seconds passed and the limo came to a sudden stop. Amelie flung the door open and ran... Vamp speed. Claire got out of the car and looked around her. She was shocked to see the remains of one of Olivers black limos lying in the middle of the road, outside the Glass House. The car was smoking and it lay on its roof, glass shattered all over the road. She looked around and saw her best friend carrying blankets from thier house and her boyfriend carrying what looked like bandages. Eve looked scared but more worried and Shane looked impassive as usual. She looked around and saw Michael dash over. "Are you ok? Where have you been?" He asked in a panic. "Im fine, what happened?" She asked slowly. By this time Shane had came over and covered her in a giant hug. "Oliver was driving his car to some place across town when Captain Obvious attacked him with petrol bombs. The car basicly blew up" Shane told her. It took a few seconds before the name came to mind "Desire..." she said and ran the way Amelie had ran in. Shane and Michael followed her. On the other side of the wreck of a car, Oliver was standing over Amelie and Myrnin, who were leaning over a figure on the floor. Oliver seen Claire and walked over to the three of them. "Amelie told you about Desire?" He asked and she nodded her head in agreement. "The bomb came in my window" He said and pointed to the fading scar on his cheek. "Myrnin covered her up but she hit head pretty hard when she was flung out the car" by this time Myrnin stood up and walked over, the burns on his face were worse than olivers and were taking longer to heal over. "She .. she... she will be  ok I think" he said quietly. Amelie then stood up with the girl in her arms. There were tear tracks down the founders face and she looked scared. The girl hung limp in her arms and her white dress had been splashed with blood. Desire was unconciase but she looked as beautiful as ever before. amelie placed a light kiss on the girls forehead and handed her to Oliver who followed Eve into the glass house.
