Hey dudes! This is what i think will happen in 'The Reckoning'. Starts right where the book 'The Awakening' finishes. I don't own the Darkest Powers, and all that junk, Kelly Armstrong does... So yeah, R and R.

I slowly eased my gaze down towards my hand; only to find that Simon was clutching it.

A simple gesture really.

Nothing to be trilled about.

And the funny thing was that I wasn't. That's what really got to me; that if he had only made this simple offering of hand holding to me a few days ago, just a lone week ago. I'm pretty sure that I would have been bouncing of the walls, even more happy then I normally was, so much that I might even spit out rainbows.

But right now looking at my hand, that wasn't what I wanted.

I mean sure what teenage girl doesn't want to hold hands with a cool, sweet funny not to mention super hot guy, like Simon?

Me that's who.

I diverted my eyes from our hands up to Simons face. It looked the same as always yeah. But all I could remember was that look of complete discussed from when I raised that homeless man.

It almost looked like he was…scared of me?

I'm not really sure, but it all felt wrong.

Quickly I once again switched my gaze to the front of the SUV, where I saw a stressed out, but relieved looking Andrew driving as if he might be late for work, despite that its only two in the morning. Next to him Derek, who was snoring softly with his mouth slightly open, and his foot tapping to the beat of the old engine?

Tori was stretched out among the back row, and had fallen into a peaceful slumber, before the car made it even off the block.

Slowly I moved my hand out of Simons, and leaned against the door, prying for all my many sleepless or hazy nights to take their toll on me.

I could tell Simon was still looking at me, almost like he was disappointed that I let go of his hand, or that I didn't lean against him to sleep.

I didn't mean to be rude, but I really didn't want to lead him on anymore then I already had.

Quickly forgetting everything as I found dreamless sleep.

Thank God.

"It's okay, I'll take her in." I heard someone mutter. No doubt what so ever that the voice belonged to Derek.

Normally, I would have responded, and asked what was going on. But now? I was way to sleepy to even open my eyes. Guess I was in need of some z's more than I thought. Giving up on waking, I let the feeling of weightlessness take over me. it felt like I was being carried. Then it all clicked. I was being carried somewhere, because I couldn't wake up. I tried with all my might to protest, but it was useless.

I just let the gentle rocking lull me back to me sweet, sweet slumber.
