"Chloe, I need back up!" Amy whined.

"Oh c'mon! You've been complaining about how you wish Paul would be spontaneous and when he is you're scared?"

"Well can you blame me after the 'bedroom incident'?" She whispered to her best friend who was currently eyeing the door expectantly. "Who are you waiting for?"

Chloe snapped her attention back to Amy.

"What? No one. I mean…I was supposed to have training tonight ten minutes ago and I'm kinda hoping they forgot."

"So you're waiting for Alek?" Amy giggled, looking at Chloe with that look that says 'I know what's really going on.'

"No, Jasmine, Alek's…actually I have no idea where he is. I haven't seen him lately."

"He's in New York, with my mom." Jasmine said, appearing behind Amy, who screamed and jumped.

"Jasmine, I was getting worried. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah everything's fine, but training's canceled."

Amy clapped her hands together and pushed Jasmine into a chair. "Great, more time for girl time."

"Amy wants me to go with her on her date with Paul because she's nervous after the 'bedroom incident'." Chloe explained.

"C'mon Chloe, you can bring a date or something, so you won't be a third wheel." She said.

"I don't know if Chloe should be on a date with a guy, especially with the Order so close to getting her. We don't know who she can trust." Jasmine intercepted, slipping into her Mai Protector Mode.

"Well then you can come too! Bring Zane, that way she has a protector, and it can be a triple date."

"Except I still have no date." Chloe added.

"Alek will be in town by then." Jasmine said.

"It's perfect! He's Mai, and a Mai you trust, so no problems there. Plus you two are meant to be." Amy said, beaming, clearly glad things were going her way.

"I guess that's okay…When is this triple date?" Jasmine said, pulling out her phone and texting someone.

"Friday, this Friday, so in two days, we're going to the carnival at 5:00, we can all meet at Chloe's and then head to the carnival together."

"Zane's okay with it, and I actually have to go but I'll see you guys Friday. Chloe you have training tomorrow after work, we'll pick you up." Jasmine left, and Amy drove Chloe home.

"Wait what just happened?" Chloe asked while putting her seatbelt.

"Well, Friday, we're going on a triple date. Me and Paul, Jasmine and Zane, and you and Alek."

"Let's get this straight, me and Alek are not going to be on a date date, it'll be more like a friend date, which we both had to go on."

"Whatever, Denial's not just a river in Egypt, now get out of my car, I love you." Amy said, smiling as they pulled up to Chloe's house.

Chloe laughed, "Implied."

Chloe went inside to her unusually dark house, and yelled, "I'm home," to her, so it would seem empty house.

"Mom? Are you home?" Chloe looked in the kitchen and then her mom's bedroom finding no sign of her. She threw her bag on her bed and went downstairs again. She was in the living room when she noticed a piece of paper on the couch. She picked it up and stood in front of the couch, her eyes adjusting to slits so she could read the note.

"Run." She read aloud. The word had barely left her lips when someone put their hand over her mouth and pulled her back, hard, so she fell onto the couch. Her attacker was stronger than her, so not human, and they had her held down easily. She felt her attacker leaning forward then their breath in her ear.

"Miss me, King?"

Okay, I know, short chapter, but I'm kinda happy with it…kinda. Not my best work, but it will get better!

So Review please!

They make puppies cutter!
