Chloe POV

I'm so fed up being alone all the time with a nanny. what am i to my dad and aunt Lauren. I'm done. i went over to my bed and dumped my backpack of the contents. I took it over to my dresser and took out some of my clothes and stuffed them in my bag. i grabbed a coat and put it in my backpack. there was some knocks coming from my door.

"Chloe, your going to be late if you don't hurry up!" the nanny yelled through my door.

"I'm coming!" i said with a fake smile. i zipped my backpack up and slung it over my back. i opened the door and ran down stairs to the front door and walked out with a knowing smile. i pretend to walk towards the school but when I'm eye shot away from home i turned and ran. i walked for awhile, i don't know where i am anymore. i just kept walking. there was an alley way and i thought that would be a good place to sit and rest. no one i knew was going to see me. Then there was three people standing there, Two boys and a girl. they looked mean.

"aw what is a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this. don't want to be a snobby brat anymore?" The girl said. She had black, short, curly hair.

"what does it matter?" I spat at her. the one boy looked to be Asian, he had blond spiky hair. The other one was tall, really tall. he had shaggy black hair. He had emerald green eyes that looked like they were endless. "i-i uh." i stuttered like an idiot.

"what we going to do, Derek?" the boy asked the tall green eyed boy.

"she looks innocent, give her a choice either join us or get hurt." he looked me over, i covered my chest with my arms. a grin crept over his face."so what will it be girl?"

"I-i-i"

"quit S-s-stuttering!" the girl yelled."ugh such a little kid."

"oh shut up Tori! your so obnoxious!" The boy with spiky blond hair.

"Make me Simon!" Tori yelled.

"both of you shut up!" Derek glared at them," come on girl, what's your name?"

"Chloe. I"then i looked past them and i could see a girl being killed. she looked like she was screaming but i heard no sound. I point over there and scream "OMG! That girl is being killed." i could feel tears slowly going down my cheeks. They looked over.

"There's no one over there." Tori said.

"b-b-but i saw it." i exclaimed.

"She is one of us. she's a SN. She is a necromancer." Derek said with no emotion.

"that would explain her s-s-stuttering and seeing the dead." Tori said.

"So i guess we are going to have her tag along." Simon said and Derek nodded.

"Come on Chloe." Derek motioned me to follow him. i slowly followed. i felt a connection with this tall, green eyed guy. so weird.

"where are you going?" i asked him.

"Does it matter? you were just running away, right?" Derek retorted. i just nod and follow. we walk for a long time and then we were standing in front of an old house. they walk through the door while i just stand at the drive way."you coming or just stand there?" Derek asked. i run up to him and followed him in. there was only one couch and lots of dust. there was a pile of blankets and pillows.

"is this were you live?" i looked up at Derek.

"yup, not your cozy home?" Tori said. "should of thought about staying home or going to school instead of going down the alley. just to think if you would of missed that one little alley you would be alone." i looked down i could feel the heat on my face and the tears building up ready to spill. Derek walked over to the couch and plopped down. Simon went upstairs. Tori left the room. leaving me with Derek alone. he patted the spot beside him on the couch. i slowly sat down beside him.

"Chloe, have you ever heard about super naturals?" he asked me.

"No. Why would I?" i asked.

"well, you see. you can see the dead." he started to explain but got interrupted by me.

"I do not see ghost!"

"Yes you can! if you don't see ghosts than what did you see in the alley way?" he looked like he was about to explode.

"I-i-i-it." i started to stutter.

"Exactly! it was a ghost! if you don't have any proof you can't support your answer!" he yelled at me like i was an idiot.

"You don't have any proof that i was not making it up!" i retorted.

"then you are a pretty frickin' actress! i did not know that actress could act so frickin' scarred, ready to cry and run the other way!" he yelled at me. i could feel the heat on my face and the tears forming at the corners of my eyes. No i was not going to cry! i always cry! Not this time!

"And i did not know you got off by making younger girls cry and feel like a dumb ass and trying to scare them into believing in ghosts!" i flinched.

"i-i-it's not like that! I'm trying to help you! But oh no! don't ever believe the one that tries to help you!" He was red with anger. He stood up to go out of the room to leave, when the door was kicked in. i saw a tall man dressed in all black with the word...
