Chloe's p.o.v.
"Go! Now!" was the last thing I heard Rae say before I jumped out the window. Derek was already there, steadying me, keeping me from breaking a limb. Somehow I managed- with Derek's help of course- not to make too much noise during my fall. He sniffed the air, his face taking on a canine quality that still freaked me out a little. From the expression that came to his face you would have thought he had been shot.
"Van Dop, she heard you, shes comming this way!" Derek whispered, in a tone harsher than even his normally gruff voice.
"What do we do?" I wondered aloud, hoping he had a solution.
"We run, theres no turning back now." He said. No emotion present in his voice. This was the calculating side of Derek, simply on auto-pilot .He thought of the best course of action and saw it through, saving the consequenses for later.
With no further thought on the subject, he ran tword the fence, trusting that I would follow. Which, of course, I did. He more jumped the fence than climbed it, pulling me by the wrist along with him.
"Keep running!" He said, in too loud a whisper. As if there was anything else I could do.
I pushed my legs to go as fast as they would, but yet Derek was still always just an few feet ahead, no signs of tiring.
I, on the other hand, was already exhausted. Not to mention my backpack was already seeming to weight more than it did, I immediatly regretted some of my packing choices. But I refused to let him know anything was wrong in the slightest, he already thought of himself as superior, he didnt need my help prooving it.
As our not-so-planned trail lead us past a factory, as well as a few warehouses, I wondered where exactly we were going. Obviously after my recent experiences with Aunt Lauren, I couldn't trust her. She would turn us in, no questions asked.
I didn't think there was anyone in my family I could trust anymore. The only people I could trust were Simon, Rae, and Derek. This was a depressing thought, scince none of them were in any better situation than I.
But, as my wandering mind had pointed out, I trusted Derek. I had only knew him a few weeks, but yet I trusted him more than my own family. Really, at the moment, I trusted him more than I trusted myself. Could that trust turn into something more, I didnt know, but I was beggining to hope so.
As we passed the last warehouse visible, Derek slowed and ducked behind the building. I followed.
"Any idea what to do now?" he asked.
"Not a clue"
"Me either" , my heart dropped through my ribcage. The realization finnally hit me. We had no plans past this point. And suddenly, I was terrified.
