Alright, well, this will probably suck. Just letting you know before you start reading. So, I'm a huge Chlerek fan (Example: I got a wolf blanket for Christmas and named it Derek.), so I think you all know who I'm gonna give the vote to. =D But, I'm not gonna make Simon the bad guy either. *Giving a bad look to people who do.* A little about how I'm gonna write this...I don't name the chapters....gives too much away. ;D As much as I hate to write in a chick point of view, I'm going to try and get it as close to the book as I can. So it will ALL be in Chloe's POV. Tell me if I get out of character (OCC) AT ALL!!! Okay, so, if you haven't stopped reading by now, I'm gonna take that as a good sign and start the story!

Disclaimer : Puh-leeze! Like I could write that good! *scoffs* They're KELLY'S, people!

Do It Alone by Sugarcult :

Hello,

Can I say

That there's something wrong

With this place?

I got time

Just to waste,

If you would be

My new escape

*This takes place instantly after The Reckoning preview that we were so blessed to get.

"Chloe?" the voice called me out of the sweet black abyss. My shoulder shook softly when my eyes didn't come open. "Chloe, you have to wake up now," it said. Grudgingly, I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings.

I was in a soft bed, made out of dark wood with faded orange sheets. There was a window at the head of it and a small trunk at the end. I looked over at the other half of the room, where Tori's area was, and it was identical to mine. There was one large dark-wood dresser separating the two beds. Simon was sitting on the edge of my bed, smiling softly down at me. Ah, I thought that voice sounded familiar.

"Where's the fire?" I mumbled, smiling.

"Well, if there was a fire, then I probably would've gotten you up before noon," he retorted. I started giggling.

"Sorry, I guess I was kind of tired after that small adventure last night," I said, still giggling.

"Well, why don't I let you get a shower and then you can come downstairs for lunch at 12:30?"

"Sounds good to me," I stated pushing him off the bed while I started giggling…for the second time in the past five minutes. As Simon was lying helplessly on the floor, trying to get up and get me, I stood up on the bed and jumped right over him! I ran to the bathroom and closed the door before he could catch me. HA!

After I showered, fixed my hair, and got dressed, I went downstairs to the large kitchen to get some lunch that Simon was talking about. Speaking of Simon, I had better watch my back…he'll be wanting to get back at me. As if on cue, I felt a lump of cold slide down the back of my shirt.

"AHHH!" I turned sharply, trying to get it out of my shirt, only to see Simon standing behind me laughing like an idiot with a cup of ice in his hand. "SIMON! I'M GONNA GET YOU!" I squealed, running after his retreating figure. We ran around the house like that for about five minutes. Then, I had a brilliant idea.

"Alright, alright! Truce, okay!" I shouted. He stopped and came back over hesitantly. "This calls for a peace hug," I said smiling warmly.

"And you won't try anything?" He asked skeptically.

"Of course not! It's a PEACE hug! Geez…" Before I knew it, he was standing in front of me, his arms open for a hug. I stepped into them, smiling evilly. Before HE knew it, I had snagged the cup of ice from his hand and poured it down the front of his pants. I raced to the couch and crouched behind it, watching him twitch. I was laughing hysterically by now.

I then watched as Derek descended the stairs taking in the scene with questioning eyes. He looked from me to Simon. He kept looking back and forth until his eyes finally rested on me. Derek walked over to me, still laughing too hard to form a complete sentence, and asked me what was going on.

"I…H-he put a p-piece of ice…d-down the b-back of my shirt…s-s-so…I P-POURED THE WHOLE CUP DOWN HIS PANTS! HAHAHAHAHA!" I was laughing even harder now, and this time, Derek was laughing with me. Derek! Derek Souza! Laughing! Totally unexpected. After about ten minutes of watching Simon twitch furiously, our laughter died out and the others finally cam downstairs for lunch.

I guess it was time for introductions.

I really hope I made you laugh! I laughed while writing it! Please review! C'mon! Just right down there. The little green button! Color it in! Go on! I made my first chapter a little short because I want to know what you guys will think of it! So…review if you want more!
