Chapter One

I woke up today and, it was wonderful. I was safe! Well, obviously since I was located at a safe-house, but…it feels so good to say. I'm safe. Safe. The word has never held so much meaning for me before. I guess I felt safe in the multiple houses I have lived in over the years, but that never felt like this.

A knock sounded on the door as I was laying in bed. My room smelt kind of like shampoo, considering I used almost a whole bottle to wash my hair last night. I looked up at the door, located around a little corned from my bed. Was it worth getting up from this comfy position? Hell no.

"Come in," I said, loud enough so they could hear, but not so if anyone was still asleep they would wake up. As the door opened, I realized I was only dressed in my bra and panties because I was just so damn comfortable last night.

I grabbed all the covers I could as the door fully opened to reveal Derek in jeans and a very tight t-shirt coming from around the small corner. "Morning," was all that he said.

My heart skipped a beat with just that little word. "Morning to you too, Derek. Is there a reason I get to see your shining face on this lovely morning?"

Derek's face was anything but shinning. Escpessially after I made that comment. He grunted and started to leave but then turned around with a smile on his face. "You're cute, you know that?" I gasped as I felt the blood rushing to my face. Did he just…no...that'd be…no… "You're just so damn adorable. You make me want to fuck, yet cuddle with you at the same time. I love that about you, Chloe"

I woke up with a start to see that I was in Derek's bed. As I looked around I saw him coming into the room with just sweats on. It smelled like axe, and I really liked that smell. "You sleep walk, did you know that?"

I raised my eyebrows "N-no I d-didn't. I d-don't think I-I ever h-h-have bef-fore," Great now he knows I'm dead nervous.

He just looked at me with a blank sort of expression. "I caught you coming from your room last night at like two in the morning. I put you back in your bed and all, but heard you again, and did the same. I did it about two more times until I just put you in my bed and I slept on the couch. But then, you kept coming to the couch. So I went over to the bed. And you came to the bed. So I just let you sleep with me. I think you might've been like…cold or something."

I looked down at what I was wearing and realized that my dream was partially right. I was only wearing a bra and my panties. "Oh…umm…yeah…that might've been it."

Derek threw me a T-shirt and some shorts, then left the room. I got dressed in what he gave me. It was all extremely too big, but I was only walking back to my room with it on. Tori saw me from the stairs as she was coming up and looked at me in this way, that I just couldn't place. So I continued to my room and changed into some sweat pants and a sweat shirt. Today was going to be my comfy day, I decided.

I laid Derek's clothes on his bed and then went down stairs to join everyone at breakfast. Derek, Simon, and Tori were all sitting at a round table. I laughed at the King Arthur reference and Tori turned around to look at me. I just ignored her and looked at Derek "I put those…blankets that I borrowed back on your bed."

Derek just nodded. Simon looked a little confused, but didn't say anything. "We should have a plan. Incase the Edison group finds us. I don't want to go unprepared. As much as I don't like you all, I have no where else to go." Tori stated

I sat down next to Tori and nodded. "She has a point there you guys. We do need a plan." Derek eyed me and looked over my body then winked. At least…that's if I wasn't hallucinating…

Simon spoke up "Chloe and I also need to improve our skills. I think we should work on that together, learn from each other."

That sounded like a smart idea and I nodded. But then, I realized something. "Wait, where's Andrew?" I asked, looking around to see if I had missed his presence somehow.

"He's going around to find other people in the fight against the Edison Group. Old coworkers, and other witches, sorcerers, necromancers, werewolves, etc. To see if anyone will help out." Derek explained to me as I tried to avoid eye contact.

"Oh, so we're here, alone, for the next couple of days then? Alright, even more cause for an escape plan." I said as I twiddled my thumbs. I didn't like feeling like a sitting duck, waiting for a group of people with guns to come find us and kill us.

Derek stood up and went in the kitchen, but voiced his opinion from there. "I think we should just have one day of relaxation. I can't think clearly anymore."

Simon, Tori, and I all smiled at each other and shouted "Yes!" from where we were sitting. I couldn't wait to take a bubble bath ___________________________________________________________________

So…what do you think? I know Derek's a little out of character, and I'm sorry. I just needed them to have a day. He'll be like the Derek we all know and love in the next chapter – promise :) Derek must have had a fun night huh? Haha, tell me what you think about Derek's POV for it, and if nobody totally hates it I'll do it :D And I know this is kind of a slow chapter an all, but keep in mind, there have to be introductions of some sorts :)
