Simple question with complex answers:

Your pup just switched sides, hero to villain, villain to hero, neutral party to either side. Tell us about it.

*sudden terrible realization*

Ambriel would help kill Clare if she Awakened.

[innerbrat]

*even worse realization*

If Clare Awakened, Teresa would defend her from people trying to kill her.

*clings to Debi and sobs*

[innerbrat]

She wouldn't even know she was going to do it! She'd be all "yep, I'll kill Clare lalala" then she'd be up there and see Clare and just flip "LOL nope," and kill everyone else.

Possibly Awaken herslef along the way, maybe she wouldn't need to.

[genarti]

Oh god.

*just staring at this entire conversation, and HOW CLEARLY I CAN SEE ALL OF IT UNFOLDING HORRIBLY*

[innerbrat]

If Clare the Claymore asked Teresa now, Teresa would trot out the party line about how "I would kill you while your mind is still your own, and release you if you became a monster." And maybe she'd believe it.

But when it came down to it, she wouldn't.

[genarti]

Yyyyyyeah.

Honestly, I suspect Clare even knows that, on some level. I don't think she'd ask Teresa specifically to kill her -- like, not ahead of time, and if it were a black card situation she'd find someone else to send it to. (...Probably Ambriel.)

But she would ask if it were an I'M AWAKENING RIGHT NOW, PLEASE KILL ME BEFORE IT'S DONE situation, and that's when all this would go to hell in a handbasket.

[innerbrat]

I'm also a little bit worried about how Teresa the Awakened One would play out. She'd probably try and keep Clare as a pet or something.

[genarti]

Oh god, yeah.

Or else we'd have the Teresa-and-Clare-goddesses imagery of Luciela and Rafaela all over again, except presumably without [SPOILER]. OR BOTH.

[genarti]

Good.

Says Clare, instantly.

(If the subject ever comes up, she'll probably ask, honestly. If it occurs to her that it needs asking.)
