-I don't own Darkest Powers and never will T_T*-

-Prologue-

"Chloe..." an eerie voice whipered my name. All around me was darkness. In that moment I knew I was dreaming the dream I had been having since it happened.

"Chloe..."

"Show yourself!" I yelled into the darkness of my dream. "If your real, show yourself!"

Suddenly, the black darkness abruptly turned a light gray, allowing me to see. There were still black spots here and there. There was no floor, no walls, nothing. Nothing except gray and black. I looked down and noticed that I was wearing the beautiful light pink nightgown my mother got me for Christmas before it happened. The spaggeti straps were a darker shade of pink. A loud scuffling came from my right and I swiftly turned. But, of course, there was nothing. Only more gray with spots of black.

A ice cold hand wrapped around my forearm and I was being into one of the black pits. I wanted to thrashed around like a madwomen, wanting to screech at the top of my lungs. But I couldn't. My body wouldn't move, my mouth open but nothing coming out except for a pitiful gurgling.

"Chloe," the way he said my name sent liquid ice down my spine. "You want to come with me, don't you? Or do you want your mother waiting forever?" I was trembling hard, my teeth chattering lightly. I felt his get closer to me from behind and a whimper bubbled up from my throat. I tried to stop it, but it was no use. I was terrified out of my mind. I felt his body pressed tightly agenst mine, his cool breath on my neck.

When I felt his sharp fangs dig deep into my flesh did I finally fine my voice.

"Derek!"
