Been here all along

Chapter one:

Chloe

I ran down the stairs turning briefly back, for I was afraid that they were after me. And then just as I got almost to the bottom I saw her. She was in all white, with short red hair and she was holding a gun.

"Hello, Chloe," She said calmly.

"Who are you?" I asked stunned.

"We'll just have to discuss that next time we see each other, assuming you come back" She said, and then she pulled the trigger, three times. I winced as I looked down putting my hand over my side right where the bullets had hit. I looked back up stunned and but she was already gone. Running away, but it wasn't just her I heard running it was Brian. I went tumbling down falling hard onto the stairs; everything slowly started to turn into blackness.

This time when I died I knew what was going on and that I would wake up shortly, but it was still troubling. I was on a cliff, some place I'd never seen before when I heard her voice. "Chloe." She called. "Chloe, its time to go back." My shallow breath started to even out and my hearing started to return to normal. Someone was talking to me, but I could quite understand them and then it hit me.

It was Brian, "Chloe! Chloe! Chloe! Chloe no! Please wake up! I love you! I love you, Chloe! I love you! I love you!"

"Brian?" Was all that I could muster out and then he kissed me. I kissed him back with the same passion and then it hit me I was kissing Brian! I pushed him off of me, "No!" He looked at me confusingly as the poison started to make its course throw his body. He dropped down heavily into my lap, going cold and hardly breathing.

"No!" I cried as Amy and Paul ran into the room. I looked up and said those dreadful words, "He's dead." And then I heard a ringing sound, annoying and obnoxious. I realized it was my phone and as soon as I saw Alek's picture I picked up.

"Alek, some thing hap-,"

"Chloe, I need to see you right away. I shouldn't have run away earlier, I should have talked it out with you. NO! I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Is that anyway to talk to your brother?" Said a voice so similar to the one I'd been hearing the pass few days, but this time it had an accent to it. There was a crash and then the phone went dead.

Alek's P.O.V

I opened the door to apartment 1803 while on the phone with Chloe. As I opened it I saw my beloved cousin Jasmine, and Aunt Valentina, lying on the ground holding on for dear life. I slowly raised my head still in shock and saw Zane, just standing there with a knife in his hand and a smirk on his face.

"I'll kill you." I said barely able to hold my rage back.

"Is that anyway to talk to your brother." Zane replied mocking me in a newly found British accent.

I sat there for a second, absolutely dumbfounded. Brother? Brother? I don't have a brother. Then I lunged for him.

"You're not my brother!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I tried to knock the knife out of his hands, but he was just a few seconds faster then I and stepped out the way.

"But I am. But how would you remember me," he said as we got into a fist fight, "as soon as you came into the picture it was all 'Alek this and Alek that. Zane, go to your room we want some alone time with your brother.' You little bastard! You stole them away from me! I had them all to myself until you were born! And then you got them killed! It was your entire fault that they forgot about me." He shouted in my face as he held me down.

I struggled to reverse the positions, however it was no use, for he was stronger then I. I saw him move the knife and position right over my chest. Slanting it, so that it would pierce my skin and puncture me right in heart. And then there was a horrible crashing noise. It sounded as if there had been a lamp or vase thrown across the room. Startled by this new noise he let his guard down.

"What the!" He yelled in confusion as he searched the room seeing nothing but Valentina and Jasmine lying in a heap.

I toke this moment of weakness and gave him a huge blow to the chest sending him staggering back. I picked up the ancient scythe, which was once used by the order to behead Mai. I ran at him, twirling the weapon around making a whooshing sound.

"You're not my brother!" I screamed as I shoved the weapon into his thigh, causing him to tumble to the ground holding on to the wound as he struggled to pull it all the way out.

He looked up, staring me dead in the eyes. As I stared back, all I could see was murder in those dark eyes of his. I started kicking and punching him, not having any other weapon besides my body. He counter acted all the blows. He sprung into the air and as he came down he kicked me as hard as he could in the chest. Making me cough and wince at my newly crushed ribs.

"You honestly think that?" He said mocking me. "Why don't you ask your precious, Aunt Val? Looks like she still has some life left. Better act quick, it'll be over soon."

I looked over to where she lie crumpled on the ground and saw two twin tears slid down her delicate cheeks. Zane seizing opportunity he shoved me, firmly into the corner as we got into a tousle.

"She knows all about me. Right Auntie? But what did that Bitch do when our parents die, huh? She toke you, away! The last thing I had that reminded me of my parents! She toke you back to live with her. Just leaving me behind, assuming I was dead. Well, bitch I'm alive no good to you!" He ranted as he shank a knife deep into my right shoulder blade.

I stumbled wincing in pain as I toke the knife out. "You are lying! Don't you ever dare to insult my family, again! You worthless piece of rubbish! How could you kill your own kind? How could you kill someone that is "supposedly" your own family?"

"Cause of you." He shouted back getting up on him feet. "I came back to show you the pain I went threw! To ruin your life like you ruined mine! That is unless…"

"Unless what?" I questioned preparing to pounce, claws out, eyes slit.

"Unless you help me kill that, Bitch that is supposedly the Uniter."

I was paralyzed with shock from what he had just said to me that I didn't have time to react as him lunged at me. Shoving a dagger deep into my left arm. The pain slowly started to over whelm my entire body. The only thing possible for me to do was thinking. My mind wandered everywhere; until it stopped on the sweet memory of the first time I kissed Chloe. I thought about how soft her lips felt. The way they tasted of her coconut lip-gloss. The way her mouth was sweet like Orbit winter-mint gum.

I looked up at Zane as he straddled me. Waiting, waiting for me to answer his question, in spite of all the pain I screamed no into his face. He looked into my eyes questioning them, until he saw that there was no way in hell that I would help him. When he finally came to, he pulled his dagger way over his head. Positioning it just right that it would pierce through me chest and stab me right in the heart. He made on more attempt to change my mind, but it was useless I couldn't kill the one I loved. Just as he was about to end my life the excruciating pain made my eyes blur out of focus. And just as I was being thrown into a black, vas empty silence and heard a loud bang.
