The Battle Rages On: Chapter 1

-? P.O.V.-

I looked between Mimi and Mr. Rezza as they tried to work out a deal. It was pretty amusing as I watched her try to convince him to keep Alek alive for her.

"I'll lock him up if you want me to, just don't kill him. He is mine!" Mimi snarled at him. I tried not to laugh. Even I wasn't stupid enough to think that Alek would leave Chloe. Or accept her death. If Alek ever found out that Mimi was working for the Order, he'd hate her and most likely try to kill her. Mr. Rezza sighed and finally gave in. They've been going at it for at least forty-five minutes.

"Fine, but if he gets out… I'll put your head on a platter. The Mai need to be eliminated. They have taken too much from me already. I need you to come between the Uniter and this boy." She nodded, a spark in her eye that gleamed with a challenge.

"It's not going to happen you know. Alek won't leave Chloe's side. Haven't you heard? He proposed to her. You don't have a chance Mimi. Besides, they all left, they're not even in San Francisco anymore." I said with a small smile on my face.

"What?!" she shrieked. I couldn't help but crack up. She looked so pissed I thought she was going to attack me. She stormed out the door, slamming it shut behind her. I leaned back in my chair. The air was heavy for a few minutes as we sat there in silence.

"I know where they are Mr. Rezza." I said with a smirk on my face. He spun around and stalked towards me.

"Tell me where bitch." I raised an eyebrow at him.

"I'm pretty sure I'm not a dog. I'm a cat. So calling me a bitch makes no sense what so ever." He raised a hand and slapped me. I was used to this. In order to stay alive, I knew I had to help them. Being a Mai was hard. We had to hide and if we were captured, we were either killed or had to serve the Order. My eyes flashed green when I brought my head back to look at him. He pulled out a knife and I backed down.

"Tell me kitten. Where is the Uniter?"

-Chloe P.O.V.-

When I finally stepped off the plane, I had to stretch out all my muscles, so I did. The group laughed at me, and I just rolled my eyes. Given it was ten-thirty at night, it wasn't to terribly crowded. As we walked through Prescott Airport, I realized just how small it really was. There were literally only three security scans and not that many guards around. We hurried to baggage claim. From there, we stopped at a McDonalds.

"Hey Cat, where are we meeting the girls?" I asked when I sat down next to her. I started nibbling at my food.

"We'll find them outside. They don't let anyone else in the airport past ten-forty-five." I nodded. Alek pulled up a chair and sat down next to me with his four burgers, two large fries and an average sized drink. I laughed and shook my head at him. Boys will be boys. He smirked at me and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek. I smiled and glanced at my ring again. It was no less than nine hours ago he proposed to me in the middle of a busy market place. I wondered when we were actually going to get married… with all this stuff going on, I don't see how we could plan a wedding at the same time.

When we had all finished our meals, we headed to the front doors. I had to say, I was a bit nervous to meet them. I don't know what they were expecting. When I stepped outside, I noticed that the temperature had changed a lot from SF. I shivered and snuggled closer to Alek. Not too far ahead of us, I saw two girls. One was taller than the other. The tall one had a pixy cut that was growing out slightly. The other girl was about my height, maybe an inch taller… if that. Her hair was longer and came down to her shoulders in uneven layers. They both had piecing green eyes and that made them look like they were in Mai mode. Ok. I was slightly intimidated.

Cat smiled widely and ran up to them. She tackled them both in a hug and everyone started laughing.

"Alright Cat, it's nice to see you too! Now get off before you suffocate us." The taller one said. She laughed and turned to me.

"Chloe, I'd like you to meet my best friends. Judith…" she indicated to the taller one, "… and Sara." The shorter one. Sara smiled brightly at me and gave me a slight bow.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Uniter." She said. I laughed a little bit.

"Oh please, call me Chloe. And it's a pleasure to meet you both." I said to both of them with a smile on my face.

Once everyone had been introduced and hugs were exchanged between the two Mai girls, Jason and Aryss, we all piled into a limo. There were so many of us, that it was even slightly cramped. I mean, everyone had their own seat, but there was just no leg room. If we had even tried to fit another person in there, they would have had to sit on the floor and that would make things even worse. But we managed joke around anyway. Alek had sat on my right and Sara on my left. I wasn't trying to pick favorites but I really liked her. Maybe it was because we sat there and talked out how our lives had changed a lot in the past few months what with the Mai and everything.

"I knew I was Mai before I transformed, but I guess I didn't really want to believe it. You know?" she asked me.

"Yeah. I didn't know I was Mai until, well, the day I died. I was in denial for a while after that. I wanted nothing more than to be human again." I told her. I wasn't about to spill what had been going on for the past two months right now, but I knew that I would tell her everything. She was one of those people you couldn't help but trust.

"Yeah, I get it. At least you didn't go as far as to get a human boyfriend. When I first transformed, I broke up with Nate, but in an act of defiance I guess, I got back together with him. It was only until he tried to kiss me like three times before I broke up with him. That was like, a month ago." She confessed. I looked at her with sad eyes. We were similar.

"Actually, I went through exactly that. This guy Brian… he was..." I got a chill thinking about him. I also felt a gaze set on me. I glanced behind me and came face to face (literally) with Alek. My eyes widened a little. I tried to back up, but that wouldn't work. It was only a few moments before I heard his voice in my head.

I don't like to hear you talking about that human around me. He hurt you Chloe and if I could bring him back from the dead and kill him again except more slowly and painfully… I would.

I smiled up at Alek and rested my forehead against his. I'm sorry. But don't talk like that, no matter how much Brian deserves it. I'm alright now aren't I? He chuckled and gave me a soft peck. I wanted more but I don't think this would be the best place to make-out…

I heard the rest of the car let out a simultaneous 'aww.' I blushed. I hid my face in Alek's shoulder. They all laughed and resumed the conversations they were having. I turned back to Sara and told her that I would tell her later. She nodded, still chuckling. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks again.

We arrived at the house about ten minutes later. Wait, did I say house? I meant mansion. I stared at the castle-like structure in awe. The driveway was brick and there were trees and shrubs lining it. There were only a few lights at the bottom of the castle and that gave it one of those eerie feelings. Like from a horror movie. All it needed to complete it would be some lightning. Judith laughed when she saw my expression. I turned to her and pointed at the house.

"Don't worry. It's not as big as it looks." She laughed. I turned my head back to the mansion. Yeah, I wasn't too sure about that…

Ok, I feel like I have to say sorry for it being so short. And I'm also sorry it took so long for me to get the sequel up. I've had a lot to deal with the past few months and it's really stressful. I promise that the chapters will get longer as I get into it. I'm not sure when chapter two will get up but believe me; I will try to have it up within two weeks. Don't give up on me!
