Amelie's Daughter (Morganville)

She's too powerful

Everyone had been led into the glass house and was settled in the sitting room. Desire lay on the red couch against one wall, with her head in Amelies lap. She stroked her daughters hair, as if soothing a small child. Then Oliver took Michaels guitare chair. He sat leaning forward, his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. Myrnin, being Myrnin sat on the floor next to Amelie, holding the girls hand. Then Claire, Eve and Shane stood against the wall, unsure what to do. Whereas micheal had began to make coffee and warm through snacks for the vampire guests. Chief moses had been called to clear the limo and Theo was on his way over. Everyone sat, or stood, in silence. The pressure in the room built and still not a word was said. All of  a sudden a piercing screem filled the room. Oliver jumped up, as did mrynin, to find that Desire was screeming, her eyes flung open and she shot upright. She panted to steady her breathing then turned to look at her mother. "Mum, its happening again" She said with a little quake in her voice. Amelie sighed and pulled her daughter into a hug. "Care to explain, Amelie" Oliver said cooly, but with a worried expression on his face. But before Amelie even had the chance to say a word, Desire jumped up. "Shit" she squeeled and looked at her hand. It was on fire. She didnt look like she was in any pain, other that facination. "Myrnin, care to explain" She said with a slightly manical voice. "My dear, I have no clue, Amelie?" He said and Amelie just shook her head. The flame went off and desire flung herself at oliver for a hug. Eve sniggered as Oliver hugged back, he had never seemed to be the parental type. "What the hell is with this chick?" Shane asked, "She is unconciese from a head injury, then she sits up fine, calls amelie mom and then sets her hand on fire!"

Claire explained to Shane that Desire was Amelies daughter, but shewas half human, half vampire. "I have never heard of a half and half, except from you, Desire, so I have no idea whats going on" Myrnin said, trying to be helpful. Desire sat down with Amelies arms around her. "Ok well I havent told anyone this, but i have been doing.... wierd things lately" Desire spoke up, expecting to get shouted at. "You didnt tell us" Oliver said, but his voice sounded less angry than upset. "Im a freak, Oliver!!" She burst out and stood up. "I can do things, I shouldnt be able to do. No human or Vampire can do the things I can." Desire said hoping for some kind of answer. "It doesnt mean your a freak honey, your just special" Eve said trying to comfort thier new friend. Amelie sat in silence, looking down at the rug on the floor. "Why didnt you say anything?" Amelie spoke in a low voice. Desire didnt say anything, nothing at all. A few minutes passed, in what felt like hours, when there was a knock at the door. Eve went to answer it and came back in with Theo. He always seemed so cheerfull for a Vampire, never mind the situation. "Amelie, Oliver, Myrnin, Desire" He nodded to all four of them. "I heard what happened and rumar is that Captian Obvious and his gang, know about Desire and how they could use her against Amelie and Oliver. " He said in a dull voice. "But these are only rumars my dear" He said trying to lighten the mood once again. Desire stood up and paced the floor. As she stood up, her head twisted towards the window and she yelled "Duck!" She flung herself down and everyone followed suit. As soon as the last person dropped to the floor and fire bomb burst through the front window, into the room they occupied. If desire had still been standing she would have had it in the face. She found the glass of water Michael had given her and put out the small fire, inside was a note. Her perfect manicured nails picked up the burnt piece of paper and she sucked in a breath between her teeth. She handed it to Oliver and gave Myrnin a hug, like her life depended on it. Oliver read out the words on the paper "Its in spanish, but it says: I know your secrets, I know everything, Amelie you will lose the one thing that matters to you and I will keep her for myself." Oliver put his hand to his head and rubbed his temples. They all sat in silence for a long time, before anyone spoke up again.
