A/N: Welcome to another one of my many Darkest Powers stories. This one will be based after they are all "safe". It's when they are all grown up, and start their own families. I brought back a few characters from my old stories, so watch out for those. Well, enjoy, and review please!

Chloe's POV

I sat at the computer, checking up on the kids' grades. I sighed as I looked at Raven's grades. She was failing five out of eight classes. I'm going to have to talk to her about this. As soon as I pulled up Seth's grades, I heard the front door open and close. I got up to see who it was and made my way to the kitchen.

I smiled, as I saw his broad shoulders and his bulky build. I started to sneak up behind him, but he turned around hearing me. He looked down at me annoyed, and I stopped wondering what was wrong. I heard a sigh behind him, and I looked behind him to see Raven.

My daughter looked just like her father, and shared the same impulses as Derek as well. She had his black colored hair, his height, and his stubborn attitude. The only things I think she got from me were the color of her eyes, blue as the sky, and the little waves in her hair.

She stood in front of me, with her arms crossed, and her weight held on one leg. She dressed in her usual black clothing, but she only went so far to add blue highlights in her hair. Derek would kill her if she tried piercing anything on her body, or if she wore any make up. She knows it too, so she didn't dare try.

"I hate that Dad's name is first on the emergency contact list." She said to me. I sighed, looking at Derek.

"What happened this time?" I asked. It wasn't the first time Raven was sent home from school. We didn't know where this rebellious, rude attitude came from.

"Raven had gotten into another fight." Derek said, putting Raven's bag onto the counter. I looked at Raven, who just looked bored right now.

"Another one?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes at me. "What was the reason this time? They looked at you funny? Oh wait, you've used that one. How about 'She said, he said'? Wait, you've used that one too."

"You know what mom? It doesn't even matter. You'll just ground me like you usually do, and don't even hear my side of the story." Raven said, begging to walk away.

"No, tell me what happened. I'm sure your father would like to know too." I said, stepping in front of her. Raven crossed her arms, looking at me annoyed. She was as taller than me, and she was just a sophomore in high school.

"You guys will still punish me." She said.

"At least you're right about something." Derek spoke up. I eyed him, Raven joining me. He sighed, and took a step back away from us.

"What happened?" I asked. Raven sighed, and looked away for minute as if deciding whether to tell me or not.

"A guy at school was hitting on me," she began, and I saw Derek stiffen out of the corner of my eye. "I wasn't interested, so I rejected him. But apparently he didn't like that, so when he grabbed me,"

"Who is this kid?" Derek spoke up, and I could see vengeance in his eyes.

"Dad!" Raven shouted.

"Derek, shush." I scolded, and turned back to Raven. "Continue." I ordered. Raven sighed, annoyed by her father.

"When he grabbed me, that's when his girlfriend looked over." I put my hand up to stop her.

"This boy hit on you, yet he had a girlfriend?" I asked. She shrugged.

"This always happens. Some douche bag hits on me, single or not, and I get in trouble for it. It's not like I can control it." Raven said, her face becoming red with anger.

"So how did you get into the fight?" I asked. Raven shook her head.

"His girlfriend started talking crap. I tried to explain to her that it was her asshole of a boyfriend's fault, not mine. Then she took a swing at me." She said. I nodded, ignoring her foul language.

"So you fought back?" I asked.

"It was a natural instinct." Raven shrugged. I looked at Derek, who looked back at me concerned. I nodded at him, knowing what Raven was saying, and what Derek was thinking.

"Alright, go up to your room." I said. Raven scoffed, and shook her head.

"I'm still punished?" she asked. I looked at her, almost scolding her with my eyes.

"No, your Dad and I need to talk. Go up to your room." I ordered. She stomped off, muttering to herself as she walked up the stairs. I turned back to Derek, who still watched the stairs, like he was waiting for her to come back down.

"Should we tell her?" he asked, looking back down at me. I shook my head.

"No. Absolutely not." I said. Derek sighed, sitting on the stool next to me.

"But she's already showing the signs. They're getting stronger and stronger." He said. I looked into his deep green eyes, and held his gaze.

"I haven't asked you for much, Derek. The only thing I ask of you is to let our kids live a normal happy life. They don't need the drama and anxiety that we had when we were kids." I said.

Derek looked at me sadly and knowingly. He knew how hard those times were. We both still had nightmares about those cold nights, running for our lives, and not knowing where to go. He knew how hard it was, and he didn't want that life for our kids either. He nodded, agreeing with me.

"Alright." He said, bringing me into his arms. "What do we do with her?" he asked. I sighed, not sure anymore. Grounding her didn't seem like it was working, and we've taken her cell phone away several times. Yelling at her had no affect either.

"I don't know, but for now you need to go pick up Seth from school." I said, stepping out of his embrace. He looked at the clock, and nodded. He began to walk back out, when I remembered something.

"One more thing." I called. "We are having dinner at your brothers tonight." I said. Derek nodded, and walked out of the door. I really hoped that news would cheer him up.

"Mom." Raven called. I nearly jumped, I hadn't even heard her. I looked at her, hand over my heart. "Do we have any more aspirin?" she asked. I looked at her confused.

"I just put some behind the bathroom mirror." I said. She nodded, and started back upstairs. "Is there something wrong?" I asked her.

"I'm just having really bad cramps right now." She said, and I heard the bathroom door slam shut. I sighed, getting a bit envious. She had gotten her period at the average age of twelve, yet I had to get it when I was 15. Something I don't think I'll ever get over. Thanks to the damned Edison Group.

Derek's POV

I waited in the car for Seth to get out of school, and I watched as kids started flooding out the doors. I saw as a group of kids surrounded one kid. The single kid looked to be 13, dark black hair flat against his head, a plain blue buttoned up shirt and beige khaki pants with loafers. When the kid looked up around the surrounding kids who looked like a bunch of hoodlums, I noticed that he was Asian.

The group immediately started to push the kid around, and I watched as the Asian kid took a hit. He fell to his knees, cupping his cheek. The other kids snickered and spat at the ground near the lone kid. I was about to get out of the car to stop this when I saw a small blond boy rush up to the group.

I smiled as I realized it was my son, Seth. He looked so much like Chloe. His blond hair bounced as he ran towards the group, and he dropped his bag as he pushed through the group. Seth kneeled down to the Asian kid, and checked if he was okay. Then he got up and started to yell at the kids. I chuckled, like father like son.

Then one of the older kids pushed Seth, knocking him to the ground. I opened my car door, and slammed it shut, storming over to the group. Then I heard Seth yell and stand up and push the guy back.

"You little shit!" the older kid shouted, and pushed Seth. Seth stepped back a little, but kept up his front.

"Shit's what you pick up off the street. So I wouldn't be talking." Seth said. The little Asian kid smiled up at the joke, and wiped the tears from his face. The older kid looked pissed off, and balled up his hand into a fist, ready to punch Seth.

"Mr. Souza, Mr. Mathews?" an elderly voice rang. I looked over my shoulder to see an old lady walking up to the group. I knew it was Mrs. Castle, only because I've been called so many times to her office when Raven used to go here. "Is there a problem here?" she asked, her hands on her slender hips.

The older kid glared at the Principal, and walked away from Seth and the other kid, taking the group with him. Seth helped up the kid, and smiled at Mrs. Castle.

"No problem here, ma'am." He called. Mrs. Castle nodded, and began to walk off. I turned back to my boy and smiled in pride.

I walked up to him, picking up his back pack on the way. Seth looked up at me, a little fear in his eyes. I handed him his bag, and patted his shoulder. He looked up at me shocked now, it made me laugh.

"You were really tough Seth." I said. He smiled at me. "Who's this?" I asked. Seth turned to the kid next to him.

"This is Kyohei." Seth said. Kyohei looked up at me, looking a little intimidated.

"Are you okay?" I asked. He only nodded.

"Kyohei started school last month, and those jerks have been picking on him ever since he started." Seth explained. I nodded at him.

"It's a good thing you're there for him then." I said. Seth nodded proudly. I turned back to Kyohei. "Do you need a ride home?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No, but thank you for your kind offer sir." He said. I was surprised by his mature and formal speech. "My mom is picking me up." He said, and then pointed to a car that was just pulling in. I nodded, and held out my hand to him.

"Well, it was really nice to meet you Kyohei." I said. He took my hand and shook it.

"Same to you sir." He said. I had to chuckle at him. No kid has that much of manners.

"I'll see you Monday Kyohei." Seth called as we began to walk away. Kyohei just replied with a wave, and ran off to his mother's car.

Seth climbed into the car, and I started the engine. We drove around the school to go through the back, the short way. Seth turned to me with a confused expression.

"Dad?" he called. I nodded to let him know I was listening. "Why aren't you mad at me?" he asked. I glanced at him confused. Why would he ask that? "I mean, you and mom always get mad at Raven for fighting, but you saw me get into a fight. Why aren't you mad at me?" he asked. I sighed.

"You fought to protect someone. Raven fights, because she just gets mad too easily." I explained. Seth looked out his window, still looking confused. "What is it?" I asked.

"But isn't that what you do, Dad?" he asked. I froze in my place. I thought about the question, and tried to come up with an answer. "When we lived in Montana you punched that guy in the face just because,"

"Seth." I interrupted. "Remember what I said about that incident?" I looked at him. Seth sighed.

"It never happened." He said. I nodded. Actually the guy had turned out to be a wolf tracking us, but Chloe refused to let the kids know about anything of The Edison Group.

"But you still did it." Seth said. I sighed, stubborn little boy, just like his mother.

Raven's POV

I sat on my bed talking to Sabrina on my cell phone. We were talking about how Cassidy had blown up in my face today, and how my parents still punished me, even after I explained to them that it wasn't my fault. Sabrina sighed into the phone.

"She is such a bitch." She said.

"You're telling me." I replied.

"So I take it you aren't going to Arnold's party tomorrow?" she asked. I sighed, trying to figure out how to slide it past mom and dad.

"Believe me, if I had a choice, I'd be there." I said. Sabrina sighed again, and I could hear voices in the background.

"Oh, God." I heard her groan. "I have to go, my mom is home." She said. I sighed, knowing that was her cue to leave.

"Alright, I'll see you later." I said.

"Bye." Then she hung up. I sighed and tossed my phone to the end of my bed, and rolled over onto my stomach. It wasn't two minutes later that I heard my door creak open, and those familiar footsteps walk up to me.

"Raven." Mom called. I groaned into my pillow. "Come on, get up." She ordered. I didn't move. "Raven, don't make me ask you again." she threatened. I mentally rolled my eyes.

Suddenly I'm on the floor. I looked up to find mom spread out on my bed, and my ass sitting on the hard wood floor. I glared up at my mom, who smirked down at me.

"I told you to get up." She said. I growled, and stood up walking to my door. Mom sat up on my bed. "You better hurry up, and get ready." She said. I glared back at her.

"Why?"

"We are going to your Uncles for dinner tonight, and your Aunt Tori will be joining us." She said. My eyes lit up. Aunt Tori was going to be there? Finally, someone I can talk to who will understand. I grabbed my towel and walked into my bathroom.

"She's bringing Carter too." Mom called. I walked back out of the bathroom.

"What?" I asked. Mom shrugged, and I walked back into the bathroom groaning.

Carter was Aunt Tori's boyfriend, who loved to treat me like I was five. Seth loved him; I'd love it if he disappeared. I wish she would get back with her old boyfriend, Drew. He at least treated me like an equal. He was also funny, and I know he loved Aunt Tori. Hell, he probably still does.

After the shower, I got dressed in a black V-neck top, and my black jeans, with my black studded belt. I shoved on my black converse shoes, and went to fixing my hair. I decided to go with a half up, half down style. My purple streaks stood out perfectly, and I had one purple strand cradle my face. Perfect, I purred.

I got down stairs to see mom fussing over Seth like she usually did, and Dad putting on his jacket. Seth was in a light blue T-shirt and jeans with his Cody Simpson blond hair sticking out of his head. He winced as mom pinched his arm. They both laughed and mom turned around to grab her purse.

"Come on Raven, quit doddling." She called. I rolled my eyes, and looked over at dad.

"Can I drive?" I asked. I gave him my bright blue eyed puppy eyes, which always got him. He looked at me for a few seconds, looking like he was falling for it.

"Nope, I'm driving." Mom said, grabbing the keys out of dad's hands. I glared at her, while dad looked at me apologetically.

A/N:

I guess I'll leave you with that. Oh I forgot to mention Simon and his family. Ah, well, you'll meet them in the next chapter. Please leave a review to let me know how I'm doing. First chapters are never really my strong points. But if you've read my other stories, then you know that it will get good pretty fast.

Alright, Ta-Ta for now!
