The present
Summary
Chloe met Derek, Simon and Tori when she was seven. She was looked after by Kit after her mother died and her father went missing. But then her father returned after two years right in the middle of Kit's mission to take down the Edison group. Chloe was taken away, ripped away from her best friends. Even though she was with her father she was not safe, not from the Edison Group. Now six years later Chloe's in more danger that she had ever been in before and back with Kit and the gang, back with more power, back with nightmares and back with the determination to make it up to Derek. Will they take down the Edison Group? Will Chloe and Derek ever be the friends they once were? Or will they be more? Better than summary much better. Chlerek lots of it.

"We've got a guest" they were the same words from eight years ago and like eight years ago the same fresh innocent scent filled the room. The same blue eyes look up and met mine, but unlike eight years ago this time they quickly darted away from mine. I refused to feel the hurt that stabbed through me. Instead I keep my face emotionless, even going so far as to shift my body till I leaned back against the wall in a pose of boredom. But I kept my eyes alert, watching, searching for any signs of danger. Though I know she posed none. Not to me, not much could endanger me, or to Simon, Tori or my dad. The only danger she posed was to herself.
"I'm sure you all remember Chloe" Dad says smiling warmly.
"How could I forget her?" Simon asks smiling warmly, flirtatiously. I resist rolling my eyes, she hadn't even been back three minutes and he was already flirting.
"N-n-nice t-t-to s-see-"
"Slow down" I interrupt not bothering to not sound rude. Her eyes meet mine for the second time but this time glaring, but like last time they once again dart away.
"See you again" She says as quickly as she could get away with, without stuttering again. Stubborn.
"How long is she staying?" I ask turning to my dad.
"However long it takes to take down the Edison Group for good this time" Not the answer I wanted to hear. "Now why don't you kids catch up on all the years you've been away from each other? I'm going to make some calls. I've also got to email Andrew back" We all answer, Simon with a happy bouncy answer, Tori with a snide comment about not caring what Chloe's been up to and me with a nod.
We enter the sitting room. This house was all cream. Cream walls, floors, curtains and furniture. It was also tiny. I hated it but I had to live with it. Because it was so small we could only fit two small couches in the room and since Simon was glued to Chloe's side and I refused to sit next to Tori I stood. Looking out of the window watching the sky darken. I wished to be outside. Running. Away from the memories that were being replayed in my mind over and over again. She had come back. I wasn't sure if I hated the fact or loved it. As Simons voice filled the room I zoned out my eyes focusing on the refection of Chloe in the window. She was looking in a general direction of Simon, seemingly paying attention except for her eyes had that far away look to them. Staring at her I let myself get taken over my memories.
-Flash back- 8 years ago-
"We've got a guest" Dad says looking over us. I already knew that I could smell them. A fresh innocent scent that seemed to be all I could smell. I didn't like it. I didn't like new people who could threaten the safety of my pack and I definitely didn't like that this person dominated one of my strongest sense. Simon claps his hands in delight eyes wide and bright.
"Yay! Where are they?" Dad steps to the side then revealing a small blonde girl. Dad looks to me, his eyes saying many things. A warning to behave, like I could do anything to disappoint him. Not after what he had done for me. And an apology for not warning me earlier that there would be a stranger in the house.
"Hello!" Simon shouts stepping closer to the girl. She was looking down, one hand by her side, fist clenched the other was by her chest. It seemed like she was holding something but her hair obscured my view.
"What's your name? I'm Simon."
"C-C-C-Chloe" She had a sweet voice.
"Nice name. This is my brother Derek" Simon turns to me "introduce yourself. Be polite" I just grunt in answer but then Dad clears his throat.
"Hey" I say seeing no point in retelling my name. Simon rolls his eyes.
"He's quiet and grumpy but we will all be good friends" This time I roll my eyes.
"R-r-really?" The girl-Chloe- looks up this time and smiles. Bright blue eyes glittering reflecting her smile meet first Simons eyes then mine. I wait for her shield away, I may only be eight but everyone did only dad and Simon were different. I wasn't normal. I was a freak a beast a violent monster. But she doesn't. She continues to look at me smiling.
"Yeah" Simon answers "let's go play! We can go play right dad?" Dad just chuckles and nods. Simons laughs and grabs Chloe's hand and drags her out of the room in the direction of our room and toys.
"Why is she staying here?" I ask knowing it wasn't for any good reason, as soon as I can hear them playing.
"Nothing you need to worry about Derek, now why don't you just go play with them?"
"No I'm good." I say walking away before dad could say anything. I wasn't going to play with them. There was no need to scare her she may not have been moments before but she was nervous before, probably didn't see me properly. No need for her to see me now. Plus I didn't want to ruin Simon's fun, he needed to play with normal people for once, have a normal friend. She would be better off playing with Simon.
"Derek" I hear my dad sigh as I walk up the stairs passing the room I shared with Simon. I don't mean to but I look through the door and meet big blue eyes. Simon was showing off a new toy but Chloe was looking at me. She smiles. I continue walking.
CPOV
I was back. I hear Kit talking distantly as I stand in the kitchen the scent of coffee and toast still in the air. They had grown, well of course they had, I had too. Simon was tall, still blonde still cute and still charming. Tori was, well she still didn't seem to like me. And Derek...I couldn't look. No come on I can. It's Derek. I take a breath and look up. Green. His eyes were still so green. I remember the green changed, from leaf green to dark emerald depending on his emotions, if he showed his emotions. I look away quickly, my heart hammering in my chest. He was emotionless. I thought he would be, though I wished he wouldn't be. I see his feet shift. He had changed yet he hadn't. His hair was still black and falling over his face, but now it was lanky his jaw, cheekbones and nose were sharp straight lines, and peppered with angry red dots the skin underneath was still a white gold. He looked like a man and a child at the same time. He looked like my Derek and a stranger.
I hear the end of something Simon says.
"N-n-nice t-t-to s-see-" I think it would answer whatever he had just said. But a deep husky voice interrupts.
"Slow down" The words make my chest ache with memory. How many times had he said that to me before? How many times had I glared at him as I was now? His eyes hadn't changed. I doubted they ever would. I look away again. I was so glad to be back. To be with these guys again but I was also so scared. What if we couldn't be friends like before? What if..what if Derek hadn't forgiven me? I had wanted to contact them so badly but I wasn't allowed. I couldn't. But Derek wouldn't have seen it like that.
"See you again" I say finishing my sentence as fast as I could without stuttering. I had stopped stuttering, but now it seemed it was back.
I don't know when I moved but the next thing I know I'm sat on a small couch in a very cream room. I think cream was the colour scheme for the house. The kitchen was cream as well. Simon was talking I turn to face him. My eyes passing over Derek at the window. His back was broad his hips narrow his legs long. He wore dark baggy sweats and t-shirt but I doubted he was fat.
I knew what he was. I knew he thought he was a monster. But he had saved me so many times that I knew he wasn't. And for a while I think he had believed that I didn't think he was a monster and was slowly beginning to believe it himself. But then that happened. But now I'm back, in danger again, and this time I'm going to save him and make him belief- no prove to him that he is no monster and that I never thought of him as a monster and never will. I am the monster, the one with the hideous powers, the most dangerous.
My eyes drift back to Derek by the window and I let myself slip back into the past.
A/N this is kind of writing itself so I have no clue where it is going all I know is that I have an outline of what will happen and that there will be flashbacks and chlerek. I have exams coming up soon so updates are going to be random but unlike my other D.P fic I will finish this one. I will also finish my other one but have massive writers block on it.
Please read and review. Next chapter will start with Chloe's flashback.
