Hey guys, if you have read my other story then you know that I'm a HUGE CHALEK FAN and I'm extremely sorry for stopping it ( the story, I would NEVER GIVE UP ON chalek) but I really hope you like this story I feel really confident that this is going to be a good story, just by the way it flowed from my fingers, and the way this plot bunny has been hopping around in my head at the most random times for a few weeks now. But I haven't had a chance to type anything in a while as y'all probably know. Also, I have been reading on my little break and I really really feel like it's helping me write better, so tell me what you think, and see y'all at the bottom :DD!

Soooo…on that note…ENJOY THE STORY!

LIKE IT OR NOT…

Chapter 1

'Okay this has got to stop' it thought to myself as I was running for my life…once again.

A girl can only handle so much. Being chased by the order is good enough, and now parts of our own race have gone rouge. I mean aren't we suppose to stick together while we try to unite the races. I know that humans fight each other all the time, but they aren't trying to be whipped out by some crazy assassins.

Only if I listened to Alek when he kept telling be to listen carefully and to trust my gut, right before he left for the night, the first one since I became the uniter ( I have to tell you those all nighters were catching up to him, but he still looked hot). Dear bassest, why am I thinking this while I'm being chase around by so-called guard (I only call Jasmine and Alek my protector I call the others my guard). I was running to the apartment when something got caught on to my ankle and I fell in to some bags of leaves in to an ally. With my ankle searing in pain and a little dizzy from my fall, thanks to the hearing lesson with Alek, I was able to tell that me pursuer was far enough that I had maybe 8 minutes until he found me, and well killed me or knock me out or something. I tried to get up but my ankle was wrapped in to some old rusted metal fishing trap. I tried pulling it out, but I was too tangle up that if I pulled my foot out then I would lead a blood trail for him to follow or I would bleed out before he found me, I was already bleeding from my small attempt to escape. That was when I remembered something else that Alek said to me a few weeks after we found out that I was the uniter.

Beginning of flashback

'if you every get attacked when I'm not there then remember 3 things, 1) CALLED ME! but that's a given, I know you just can't stayt away from me' he said smirking. '2) run like hell to the safest place you can think of, better yet the apartment the door man will know what to do. And 3) if you stop for any reason you better fight like hell. I don't care when it is, where you are, or who your with, I will always be there for you when you need it. I don't think I will ever forgive myself if something happened to you.'

End of flashback

I reached in to my back pocket, having to twist my body to get it out of my back pocket only making the rusted shards of metal fishing net dig deeper into my already bloody scorching ankle. I listened to see where my attacker was. 6 minutes. I pulled out my phone and dial Alek , who's on my speed dial as 3. I pressed my phone up to my ear, my breathing laboring by the seconds and Alek answered half way through the last ring. " hello?" he asked in his sleepy british accent, it was obvious that he just woke up, which was expected at 2:30 in the morning. Usually I would melt at the sound of his voice but right at the moment I want to scream in pain. "alek…" I said starting to get dizzy and light headed from the blood lose that that was rapidly increasing. "Chloe! what's wrong!" he yelled instantly awake. I listened for my assailant. 5 minutes left. "my guard went rouge, I'm in an ally right on main and 7th street, my ankle got caught up in some wire and I can't move," I said as loud as I could, but sleep was consuming me at what felt like the speed of light, the yawn I was fight to keep down fought itself up and I let a cat like yawn creep up my throat and out my mouth, "alek, please hurry I'm getting really tired an my attacker is almost here. Please, hurry." I force my mouth to cooperate with my brain, but right now my phone felt like lead, my eyelids 1000 pounds and I had to force myself to breathe. My breathing becoming more and more painful for each breathe that filled my aching air-starved lungs. I forced myself to listen for my maybe killer, if the pain in my bady didn't beat him to it. 2 minute left ' please hurry alek' I thought " Chloe, I'm on my way please stay with me Chlo. And don't close your eyes." He pleaded I could have sworn that I heard tears in his voice. If it wasn't for hearing him like that, I would have let the black peacefulness take me, willingly. It was then I saw the dark siloette of a man running, and the thumping of shoes, faster than any human could every run. I checked to make sure it wasn't alek running towards me, the second the first thump, reached my ears I knew it was him…the person who would take my lif or lives if he had a chance. I tried to bury myself further in to the bags but the constant pain in my leg, nope not my ankle anymore but my entire leg, reminded my that that wasn't going to happen. " Alek I can see him" I said terrified, and able to cover myself with a few things. Ignoring the extreme feeling to want to scream in agonizing pain. "Chloe! Stay in the line with me I'm almost there I can see the main street sign." His teary voice was replaced with rage, venom spill out of each and every word. But by that time it was to late. My ex guard, and current assassin, stood 6 feet before me. He bent over on his knees, breathing hard. He suddenly stop his labored breathing, I could almost feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins, mine wore out about 5 minutes ago. He sniffed the air then his cat like eyes peering in to mine. But he didn't start walking toward me until after a few seconds. I didn't notice his cat eyes until he came close enough. His mai eyes were a dark dark green but slowly got lighter until they reach the slit of black for the pupil. He looked about 29 years old more or less, dark brown hair that was matted with sweat, and he was tall, taller than me but alek would tower him in comparison. He was pretty cute but I wasn't thinking about that more like that I want nothing more to die at that moment and he would grant that wish for me but he would take all my lives in return. He was about to reach over and grab were I was but a dark figure tackled him to the ground before anything more happened. But I was able to catch a glimpse of the dirty blonde hair that many occasions I want run my hands through. I caught a glimpse of the fight. Alek was clearly leading the dance of the deadly tango. Within minutes, which felt like hours, there was labored breathing, a crash, a moan then silence. I couldn't concentrate enough to listen to see which heart beat was coming towards me. So I sat there, not moving, waiting to see if my savor's or my murderer's face would appear. I sat there in dead silence while someone moved around bags to find me. When Alek's face appeared I don't think I have ever been so relived in my life, or would it be lives? Either way I must of looked pretty bad because the first thing that came out of Alek's gasping lips was "oh mai goddesses Chloe" the moment he step forward to grab me out of the bags, I screamed in pain. He followed my eyes, confused, until he saw what I was looking at, my bloodied mangled leg and ankle tangled in that death trap of wire. He immediately stepped off the netting, only to be earned with a yelp of pain from my lips. He Apologetically looked in to my eyes and muttered a "sorry". He took out his pocket knife which had a pair of scissors and cut through the wiring. He cut around it only leaving the stuff stuck in my leg alone, for now. " Alek I'm so tired" I said yawning my eyes drifting close. "no! chloe, love, stay with me I promise you can fall asleep soon but you have to stay with me right now." He said picking me up. this only made my leg burn in pain. I screamed, fortunate that we were in a deserted part of the city. Tears burned my eyes beginning to fall in pain. Alek looked conflicted, then he said, "Love, please listen to me this is going to hurt and I'm so sorry but I have to get you to the apartment." I nodded only wanted to get away from this pain and sleep. As he carried me bridal style he began to sprint. Every step he took made, made tore pain, searing pain, through me. But I also know that every step brought me closer to sleep.

The sleepiness. It was too strong, at one point I drifted off but alek yelled and brought me back to conciseness. When we barged in to the apartment door Alek called Jasmine and Valentina. " Alek where have you bee-" but was cut short by the sight of me. " Jasmine go get the medical supplies, Alek put her on the table." Before she even finished her sentence I was on the table and jasmine had the medical supplies next to me. "Alek I'm so tired can I sleep now?" I asked " no, love just a few more minutes I promise. Chloe? Chloe! Wake up! Damn it! CHLOE WAKE UP! CHLOE WAKE UP I CAN'T LOOSE YOU! DAMN IT CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING!" he yelled at them while i drifted to sleep.I tried to stay wake I really didn't but I wasn't strong enough. I soon faded away in to blackness.

I don't know how long I was in it but I wanted out, now! This blackness wasn't peaceful, not like the one when you die. This was a horribly darkness. An eerie darkness. But I wasn't dead. With all my strength I had left I opened my eyes.

Everything blurred together. Noises and voices sounded like hums and buzzes. Lights were blinding. Every movement made my throbbing head, throb harder. I moaned and something came to my side. It was him. He was the only thing that I saw and heard correctly. Just the sight of him made my head hurt a little less. But if I looked at something else the throbbing started again. "hey, love" Alek said his sweet british accent gracing his beautiful lips. I felt his hand run through my hair. " hey" I said weakly my throat feeling like sandpaper. "how are you feeling" he asked gently, still running his hand through my hair. "better now that I can see you." I said then realized what I said and blushed. He just smiled…Whoa wait he just smiled this is the first time I have seen him smile a real smile not is famous smirk just a smile. " you have a really nice smile you should use it more often" I said not realizing it until the words left my lips only making me blush harder. I tried covering my face but my arms were to sore to do so. I looked around and saw I was in a bed room. It had a dark brown wooden desk on one of the walls, which were a navy blue. On the other wall there was a dark wooden dresser. I was lying in the bed that was a dark navy and laid on a dark brown 4 pole bed set. There was a basketball in the corner near a gym bag but otherwise it was perfectly clean nothing on the floor or desk. Nothing like my cousins had been last time I saw him last summer. " wow.." I whispered under my breathe. "what you haven't ever seen a boys room before?" he asked a smirk is painted on his face. "no," I said " just not one's who's was so…clean…and…simple, modernish." He just laughed at my face as I was looking around. I turned around to Alek and said " thanks for, well everything." After a few minutes he looked like he was about to say something really important. Then when he finally was about to spit it out before it choked him he said "chloe there's something I need to tell you." I looked at him thinking about what he was about to say. "what is it Alek? You know you can tell me anything." I said gently "it's just tha-" he was cut off by the opening of the door and valentina and jasmine walked in. Jasmine's eyes lit up when she saw me. She was about to say something too, but once again Valentina said something, I mean I know she's the pride leader but can't she give her daughter and nephew a chance to talk. "Chloe it's good to see you awake." She said by the tone of her voice I knew that she was just saying it be nice. "much better, thanks." I said giving her a slight smile. " well chloe you gave us quite the scare, I hope that you won't let it happen again." She said sternly. "It's not Chloe's fault, you know that, her guard went rouge! If it's anyone's fault, besides the order, it's you! You're the one who assigned him to be her guard" Alek said, standing up for me, his voice rising as he got closer to the end of his little rant until he was full out yelling at her. "Alek! I would watch your tone with me. Or I will put some thought in to our plan, that I assume you explained to her." She said in her pride leader voice, not yelling like Alek was not not in her normal calm voice either. "no, I haven't. I was just about to tell her, until someone rudely barged in my room; you know there is this thing called knocking." He said still angered. She ignored his last comments and turned to me with hard eyes. " Chloe, "she said in a hard tone, which made me and Jasmine cringe and Alek step in front of me, as if to protect me from what was coming "you're going in to hiding."
