This is just a little short story that I had floating around in my head cus I had a nightmare and stayed up writing this all night since I couldn't go back to sleep. In this Rae was killed instead of Liz and Liz is with them at the safe house Andrew brought them to in the end of The Awakening. Andrew has to go get them trainers and he brings Tori with him so she can approve of all of them, leaving Derek, Simon, Chloe, and Liz alone. When Liz asks Chloe a huge favor, she does it since in a way it benefits for her too. They don't tell the boys about it because they're afraid that Derek wouldn't approve, so when Derek hears and sees little bits of what they're doing, his teenage boy mind gives him the wrong idea. A little OOC. Hope you like it! R&R! To all those people who read my other stories and are thinking, 'why the hell are you making this story when you should be updating your others,' it's cus I was afraid that if I didn't write this down I'd forget it. Here's the chapter!

Disclaimer- sigh, I have to say it don't I? Alright, fine, I don't own DP.

CPOV

We were all at the safe house Andrew had taken us to eating take out. I had pasta, Liz had chicken, Tori had salad, Simon had some kind of sandwich, and Derek had about four cheese-burgers. Werewolves, I swear. I mean God where does he put it all? With all the food that boy eats he should not have the abs he does.

Andrew cleared his throat catching our attention- I think Derek even glanced up from his food. "Since you kids don't have any control over your powers"- is it just me, or was he looking at me and Liz when he said that part on purpose?-"I've decided to go and get you all tutors to help you hone your abilities." Tori and Liz squealed in happiness at the thought of being in control of their abilities. I was psyched too, no more raising the dead in my sleep. Simon already had Andrew, so this didn't really affect him. Derek seemed to be pointedly avoiding everyones gaze with his shoulders hunched slightly forward. What was- oh. He's probably thinking how he won't be able to get a werewolf teacher. I wish it was different for him, he tries so hard.

"Alright settle down," Andrew instructed with a slight smile on his lips. "I'm going to need one of you to come with me and approve the teachers. I know next to nothing about half of you, therefore I have no idea what form of teaching methods would be most effective."

"I'll do it!" Tori said quickly, jumping up from he seat as if someone could steal the offer from her if she didn't stand.

Everyone looked at her incredulously. Tori? Volunteering to do something... not for only herself? I'm pretty sure that it's snowing in hell. She saw all of our expressions and glared. "What, I want make sure I get a good teacher." Yes, that makes more sense.

"Well, alright." Andrew said, still a little shocked. "Any objections?" I shook my head, a couple days without Tori was not a chance I was going to pass up. Not that I don't like Tori, she can just be a little overwhelming at times. Andrew nodded. "Good, we should be gone by the time you're all awake."

Tori complained at the thought of getting up early, but reluctantly agreed. Andrew said that they should only be gone for about five days min. We said it was cool, finished our dinner, then went to bed. Liz and I shared a room like at Lyle house and Simon and Derek shared a room cus they're brothers. Tori had her own room.

"So are you as psyched as I am to finally figure out these creepy powers we all got cursed with?" Liz asked while I was brushing my teeth. She was washing her face.

"Definitely. Raising the dead in my sleep is not something I can say I'll miss," I laughed. She laughed too. We went into our room and curled up under the covers.

(the next morning/ still CPOV)

"I can believe that Tori actually got up early," Liz said. "I half expected to find her in her room around noon because she was too lazy to get up when Andrew came to get her."

I smiled, it was actually a likely possibility.

"Me too." I finished mixing the pancake batter and put all the ingredients back. "You find the pans?"

"Yep." For proof she waved one and then stared intently at the other. Her face was scrunched up like she was concentrating. What was she doing?

"Liz?"

"Uh-huh," she mumbled absentmindedly, not once taking her eyes off the frying pan.

"What are you doing?"

Her face scrunched up more. I was about to repeat my question when she groaned in frustration.

"Okay, what was that all about?" I asked. I was seriously confused.

"I was trying to move that pan with my mind to see if needed to practice before the tutor came."

"And how'd that work for you?"

"Not well." She turned and we started to make pancakes with a pout on her face. I burnt the first few since I've never actually had to cook outside of home-economics class at school, but eventually got the hang of it. Liz and I chatted about everything and nothing until we finally fell into a comfortable silence.

"Hey Chloe?" Liz asked hesitantly.

"Yea?"

"Do you think the tutors will treat us like freaks? Since we have no idea what we're doing and all. I mean, what if they think we're dangerous?" she all but whispered.

The thought sent a surge of panic through me. What if they thought we were monsters? Would they get the same idea the Edison group had and think we're better of locked up? Or worse. I gulped. "I don't know," I said.

She bit her lip. "Chloe, can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure, anything," I answered without hesitation.

"Can you try to summon a poltergeist for me and play back and forth so that I can ask it some questions on what it did to control their powers when they were alive. It would really help me if I could get some tips," she pleaded with a desperate look on her face. For a second I just stood there shocked. I wasn't sure how comfortable I was about summoning a ghost, let alone one that could throw stuff at me. But Liz really did want to learn how to get a handle on this thing, I couldn't hurt, right. Worst comes to worst I just send them back, so it shouldn't be a problem right? And yet...

She noticed my hesitation and quickly jumped to reassure me. "Plus it will help you with your powers because then you can practice summoning and banishing ghosts."

I bit my lip. Damn, she had a good point. Maybe this could work, what's the worst that could happen? I nodded slowly. "I guess it's a good idea, I'm in."

"Yes! Oh my gosh Chloe I so owe you! You won't regret this I promise, I'll make it up to you." She started jumping up and down then grabbed me into a death hug while still jumping.

"How, by not breaking me?" I gasped she let go and gave an apologetic look, but I could still see the excitement.

"Sorry, but as for making it up to you... Let's just say you'll see."

I laughed. "Okay, but we can't tell anybody about this. It has to be our little secret."

We went back to flipping the pancakes. "Why not?"

"Do you have any idea how much Derek would freak if he found out. Simon might think it's kinda cool, but Derek? He'd probably yell at us for two hours and then watch us like hawks. Then we'd never get a chance to just be alone and do it."

"Oh, I see your point. Okay, our dirty little secret."

"Awesome, so when should we start?"

"I was thinking we could set our alarm clocks and wake up at about 2:00am so that everyone's asleep and we don't have to worry about getting caught. That would be embarrassing."

I considered it, then nodded. "Alright, but we'll have to be quiet, even though he's asleep, Derek still might hear us."

"Ooh, I feel like such a bad girl, reveling against what other people think. It's thrilling!"

We laughed. "Oh yeah, you're such a rebel."

"So are you, bad girl."

We lapsed back into a comfortable silence and a minute later Derek came in. He raises an eyebrow at me. "You're cooking?"

I glared. "I can cook," I said defensively.

He gave me a look that said 'yeah, right.' "A.K.A. you just learned this morning."

My face flushed. "Maybe," I mumbled, turning my back to him. He chuckled and a small smile played on my lips. His laugh sounds nice. God, I need to talk to Liz about Derek. He's my friend but I find that I just can't stop thinking about him, like he's been tattooed to my mind. And when I look in his eyes I get this funny feeling in my stomach. It not a bad feeling, it's actually kind of... nice. Gah! Why is he so confusing?

Derek started setting the table and Liz and I were done shortly after he was. In the middle of eating Simon came down running his face and still in his pajamas. I had to stifle a laugh, he had some serious bed-head. The rest of breakfast was pretty much uneventful, but I noticed that Derek seemed a bit... He hardly ever looked up from his plate and he looked lost in thought. I wonder what has him thinking so hard? When I asked him if he was okay he said that he was fine, just tired. Normally, when someone gives you the 'I'm just tired' answer, it means some things wrong and you should ask for details. But after being on the run for about a week, I'll buy it. Since Liz and I made breakfast, Derek and Simon were on clean up duty. Not that we really gave them a choice. While the boys cleaned up we decided to go into the living room and watch a movie. We sat down on the black leather recliner couch and flipped threw the movie selections. Finally we came to a decision to watch The Haunting In Connecticut and turned off the lights and closed the blinds. You can't watch scary movies with the lights on, it's just... wrong. We were at the part where the mom is looking around her room and there's a bunch of creepy music playing in the background. Liz and I were sitting close squeezing each others hands. Her face was half birdies in my shoulder half watching the T.V.

"Something's gonna pop out, I just know it," she mumbled. I nodded and watched the screen intently. Something's going to pop out, I just know it!

The living room door slammed open. We screamed at the top of our lungs and Liz jumped into my lap. We hurried our faces in each others hair and held on for dear life. I heard laughing and looked up to see Simon and Derek standing in the door way. Simon was bent over laughing. Even Derek was laughing at us! An honest to god laugh! We glared at them.

"You should... have seen... your... faces," Simon gasped in between fits of laughter. Liz and I were breathing seeping holding our hands above our hearts.

"That wasn't funny," I muttered. They only laughed harder. Simon looked like he was about to pass out he was laughing so hard. Liz paused the movie.

"Yeah, guys, you seriously scared us!"

I looked at Derek to see he'd calmed down and was looking at us curiously but there was definitely amusement in his eyes, and... something else. Emerging I couldn't place. I realized that we were still holding onto each other. I blushes and dis-entangled our bodies.

"You g-guys wanna watch?"

Simon took a deep breath to calm himself down and whipped tears out of the corner of his eyes. "Sure."

They came over and sat down. Simon next to Liz and Derek next to me. We watched the rest of the movie and I was proud of myself when I only screamed once. Things popping up out of no-where freaks me out beyond belief. However I was embarrassed when I jumped right into to Derek's arms. We both blushed but he still held onto me none the less. I stayed there for a second until I realized what I was doing and scrambled off his lap blushing furiously. But to my credit, Liz jumped into Simon too and it took her longer to realize it. When the movie was over it was almost lunch time and Simon decided to go and sketch. Derek, Liz, and I were gonna watch another movie and Derek went to go get snacks. He asked us if we wanted anything so I said I wanted a box of Buncha Crunch and a Dr. Pepper. Liz asked for a water and a bag of sour gummy worms. He went to the kitchen with or orders. I waited for the door to close before I turned to Liz.

"Does Derek seem off to you?"

She thought for a moment. "Kind of, but Derek's weird like that. He's probably just tired like he said before."

I shook my head. "No, I think it's something else." I paused. "You don't think he heard us talking this morning do you?"

"Oh God," she said, a look of horror and panic falling over her face. "I keep forgetting he has super hearing! Gah, I'm so stupid! Oh, you don't think he found out do you?"

I chewed it over then shook my head. If Derek knew he'd disapprove, and if he disapproved, he'd say something. He wasn't the one of guy who just backed off. I told her that.

She sighed in relief. "You're right, I'm probably just being paranoid." She took a deep breath. "I'm just so nervous."

"Liz, if you don't want t-"

"Chloe, don't finish that sentence. Of course I still want to do it. It's normal to be nervous, right? This is all still really new, but we're just messing around with it right? It's not as serious as I'm imagining it to be?"

Actually, it was very serious. Liz is right, this is all still new, and we have no idea what we're doing. But I didn't want her to be upset, so I just smiled. "It's not that big a deal." she smiled back.

Derek came back with the snacks with a dazed look on his face. We asked him if he wanted to pick, but he said he didn't care what we watched. That surprised me. Guys never pass up an opportunity to pick the movie when a girl offers it. Granted Derek isn't like other guys, but isn't it like, a male instinct or something to take the remote? We picked a movie that wasn't girly so that Derek wouldn't suffer and put on The Hangover. Me and Liz laughed so hard that we had to pause it at least four times. Derek laughed but still seemed a bit out of it. I wonder what's bothering him?

DPOV

I woke up and took a shower. God, it felt so good to have a shower again. And a bed, I missed having a bed. I could smell pancakes in the kitchen and here the murmur of the girls voices. I walked closer to the kitchen and caught Chloe in the middle of her sentence.

"-idea, I'm in." Idea? What idea?

"Yes! Oh my Gosh Chloe I so owe you! You won't regret this I promise, I'll make it up to you." What? What won't Chloe regret? What's Liz going to make up to her? Why the fuck don't I know what they're planning?

"How, by not breaking me?" Chloe.

"Sorry," Liz replied. "but as for making it up to you... Let's just say you'll see." Was it just me, or was there a note of suggestion in her tone?

"Okay, but we can't tell anybody about this. It has to be our little secret." What? What can't they tell anybody? God, can't they say something I could use?

"Why not?" Yes, why not?

"Do you have any idea how much Derek would freak if he found out"- I don't like where this is going-"Simon might think it's kinda cool, but Derek? He'd probably yell at us for two hours then watch us like hawks. Then we'd never get a chance just be alone and do it." Oh God, it? Like, it it? Are they talking about- no, that's not possible. They can't be like, doing it can they?

"Oh, I see your point. Okay, our dirty little secret." Did she just say dirty little secret? Oh yes, yes she did.

"Awesome, so when should we start?" Did Chloe just ask when they should start? Oh God.

"I was thinking we could set our alarm clock and wake us up about 2:00am so that everyone's asleep and we don't have to worry about getting caught. That would be embarrassing." Getting caught? I'm not sure whether I want it to be what I'm thinking or not. The wolf part of me can't stand the thought of someone else doing it with our mate, but the teenage boy part of me is unbelievably turned on by the thought of girl on girl porn. Especially when my mate is one of them. I'm probably just jumping to conclusions.

"Alright, but we'll have to be quiet, even though he's asleep, Derek still might hear."

Or maybe my assumptions are completely accurate. You know what, I have no idea what they're talking about. I'm probably just being stupid. After a few moments of silence I realized I wasn't going to get any more and entered the kitchen. I teased Chloe about her cooking, trying to act casual, but truthfully? All I could honk about when I was setting the table was images of Chloe and Liz doing naughty things with each other. They were both such innocent, non-dirty girls. It just didn't make sense. You know what, it probably doesn't make sense because that's not what's happening. I need to stop thinking about this before my mind explodes. Simon came down shortly after we started eating. The girls fled the room yelling over theirs shoulders that since they cooked we clean. Fair enough, I guess. But next time? I'm cooking. I don't like cleaning.

The whole time we did the dishes I listened to Simon talk about some knew sketch he was working on fir the graphic journal him and Chloe are making. My brother had a crush on my mate, and honestly? It killed me. She's my mate and whenever he touches her I fill with anger. But if Simon wants her, then I'm going to let him have her. I can't come in between my brother and his crush, even if she is my mate.

"Hey bro, can I talk to you about something?" Simon asked, looking a bit nervous. Smelled kind of nervous too.

"Go ahead," I said.

"If I told you that I didn't like Chloe anymore, how bad would you freak out exactly?"

I gaped at him. Were my ears deceiving me? Was he actually serious about this? I thought that he said Chloe was different. So I said that.

"Your right, Chloe was different, but just... Not different enough, I guess. I kind of like... Liz."

I sputtered. "L-Liz? You like Liz, Chloe's best friend?" He nodded. "You do realize this means you led Chloe on right?"

"Well, yeah, and I feel really bad about it, I do. But... I don't know. When I'm around Liz I feel like I wanna... puke." He must have caught my look because he hastily clarified. "I mean like, in a good way. Like I get flutters in my stomach and I get all nervous. With other girls, it's easy, but with Liz-"

"Dude, I get it. No need to ramble. But just one question, why are you telling me this? I mean I like being informed, but it seems like that wasn't your purpose." I put the last dish in the dishwasher and leaned against the counter drying my hands on a towel.

"I need advice dude."

It's official, he's lost his mind. C'mon, asking me for girl advice?

"Okay, I know what you're thinking, why am I asking you"-yep, that's pretty much it-"but that's how much I like her. And besides, if I take Liz then you can have Chloe."

I panicked. "What makes you think I-"

"-like Chloe," he finished. "Because of the way you act around her. You treat her like a person, like her opinion really matters to you. And if she even gets a paper-cut you have a full-fledged werewolf protective instincts panic attack."

"One time, and it was bleeding."

"Dude." He gave me a look that said, you-better-tell-me-the-truth-and-quit-screwing-around-or-I-swear-I'll-sock-you.

"Fine, you really wanna know? Chloe's my mate. There, I said it."

His jaw dropped. "Wow. You mean to say that I had a crush on your mate, flirted with her, and you just... let me? Bro, you're stupid." I shrugged. Time for a subject change.

"I've got an idea. The girls are over there in the living room watching The Haunting In Connecticut, wanna scare them?"

He smiled wickedly. "Let's do it."

We went over to the living room and listened for a good part to come bursting in, when finally I heard Liz whisper, "Something's going to pop out, I just know it." I took that as my cue and motioned to Simon for him to bust open the door. It worked. They screamed like little girls- which the kinda were. They jumped and clung onto each other, which made me think of what they were talking about earlier. I shook it off, I'm probably wrong and I do not need the teenage boy part of my brain being bombarded with mental images of Liz going down on Chloe.

They asked if we wanted to watch and we agreed. I sat down next to Chloe and Simon sat down next to Liz. At one point something popped up out of no where on the screen and they both screamed. Liz jumped into Simons lap and Chloe jumped into mine. My arms instinctively shot around her and she burrows her head in my chest. I got lost in the feeling of how right this was and was only snapped out of my daze when Chloe blushed and scuttled off my lap mumbling an apology. Damn. I liked that position, it was comfortable. The movie ended and Simon went to go finish his sketch, I decided to stay with the girls and catch another movie. I asked them what snacks they wanted and went to go get them. It took me a minute to find a Dr. Pepper for Chloe since it was all the way in the fucking back of the fridge. Seriously, who puts a can of soda in the back of the fridge? The back is made for things like juice and milk and other big stuff that you can see. Everybody knows that. I was about to enter the living room when I heard Chloe say something that caught my interest.

"-something else. You don't think he heard us talking this morning do you?" Eh, kinda.

"Oh God. I keep forgetting he has super hearing! Gah, I'm so stupid! Oh, you don't think he found out do you?" I repeat, found out what?

"If Derek knew, he'd disapprove." I don't like this anymore. "And if he disapproved, he'd say something. He isn't one of those guys who keeps his mouth shut in fear of us getting mad at him." She knows me so well.

I heard Liz sigh. "You're right, I'm probably just being paranoid"-not really-"I'm just so nervous."

"Liz, if you don't want t-" Chloe started, but Liz cut her off.

"Chloe, don't finish that sentence. Of course I still want to do it." There they go with that word it again. "It's normal to nervous right? This is all still really new,"-Oh God this is getting so hot-"but we're just messing around with it right? It's not as serious as I'm imagining it to be?" There was a pleading note in her voice, like if Chloe answered that it was serious she would have a mental break down. I waited impatiently for Chloe's answer.

"It's not that big a deal." she said finally.

Oh God this is making me so horny. Just the thought of Chloe doing something naughty with Liz made me hot. I glanced down. Crap, I have a boner. I stood there for a minute trying to calm down. If they saw that it would get really awkward. I finally made it back and saw them sitting there casually. How could they sit there like that after what they just talked about? They asked me if I wanted to pick out a movie, but I said no. I know, a guy passing up the opportunity to hold the remote is insane, but I'm not functioning properly right now. I only had one thing on my mind.

Chloe is doing dirty things with Liz.

I have to see this.

Haha! Isn't Derek stupid? Well, maybe horny is a better word. Yeah, that one works. Well, I hope you guys liked it! R&R! Try my other stories if you haven't read them!
