Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with the Darkest Powers Series...That would be pretty cool though. So this is just a random story I thought up one day. Isn't that what all Fan Fic stories start out as? Anyway this story is a DerekXOC story. I'm all for ChloexDerek stories but I decided to try something new. Hope ya like it…some spoilers from The Summoning…Enjoy!
It all started when Chloe decided that Derek should help her find out what the creepy noise in the basement was…at three in the morning.
"Derek! Wake up!" Chloe shook the sleeping werewolf as hard as she could, but he wouldn't wake up. After five minutes of shaking Derek, Chloe gave up and sat down in the chair next to his bed. Derek was a right pain in the butt when you had to wake him up. You either had to run a bulldozer through his room or say that the Edison group was banging on their front door. Either way Chloe wasn't going to do either without freaking out the rest of the house.
It had been almost two months sense Chloe had escaped the Edison group. She and Victoria both escaped with the help of Derek and Simon. It seemed that everyday Chloe worried about Rachel and her aunt, if both of them were still alive or both were dead. She didn't know anything and it was driving her crazy. So pushing down her growing fear, she went back to the problem at hand. Kicking Derek in the head was the only possible thing Chloe could think of that might wake him up. Sighing she went to the wall and felt for the light switch. She flicked it on and looked around the room. Seconds later Derek was sitting up and glaring at her.
"You better have a good explanation Chloe. I really don't like getting woken up in the middle of the night" Derek threw the covers off and stood up. Standing in his shorts, he looked down at Chloe's small frame. Like always Chloe blushed when she saw that Derek wasn't wearing much, and like always Derek chuckled. Getting control again, Chloe looked up at Derek...all six foot something of him.
"I heard some scratching at the basement door a little while ago when I went downstairs. I don't know what it is. It could be nothing but, I'm not sure if I raised something or not. I wasn't trying" Chloe said. Derek was looking down at her.
"All right" he finally said. "Go down into the living room. I'll be there in a sec, just let me grab some things" Chloe nodded and padded down the stairs of the three story Victorian house they were staying at in the very secluded part of New York in the middle of the woods. Simon Victoria, Chloe, Derek and Andrew were all on the second floor. All of them could live comfortably. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms which pleased everyone. The huge living room had a fireplace and lots of big squishy chairs to sit in next to it. The dining room was never used to eat in, just the kitchen. It was always filled with food. It had to be or Derek would starve all the time. The pantry was huge and stocked with tons of food. There was something for everyone in there. Right next to the pantry was the door that led to the basement, which brought Chloe back to the reason why she was out of bed at three in the morning.
So Chloe walked in the dark kitchen and sat in one of the bar stools next to the island in the middle of the kitchen. A few minutes later Derek came in dressed in a pair of pants and a t shirt. He switched on a flashlight and gave it to Chloe; he flicked on the other flashlight and went to the basement door.
"You ready?" he asked her. She nodded and he opened the door. What waited on the other side of the door made Chloe scream.
"Oh my GOD! That rat is HUGE!!" Chloe squealed. She launched herself on top of the island. Crouching there she shined the flashlight on the rat that was thrashing in Derek's hand.
"Jeeze Chloe, it's only a rat. You're more afraid of this than a reanimated body? It's not gonna hurt you." Derek said lifting the rat up higher. Then the lights in the kitchen flipped on and Simon, Victoria and Andrew filled the door space.
"What is going on in here?" Andrew asked. He looked from Chloe on the island to Derek who was still holding the rat in his fist.
"I heard something in the basement, so Derek and I came in to check it out." Chloe said climbing off the countertop. "I thought it would have been something worse than a rat"
Victoria rolled her eyes "If this is why I was woken up I'm going back to bed. Thanks for waking me up losers" then she walked out of the room and up the stairs.
"Alright, Derek you get rid of that rat and then go back to bed. Same goes for you Chloe" Andrew said yawning. He stretched then said a quick goodnight and headed back to bed. Simon stayed and walked over to Chloe.
"Did you think you raised something in your sleep again?" he asked. Chloe nodded and looked at Derek. He shrugged and opened the back door. After he walked out and closed the door did Simon say anything.
"You need to be more careful. We don't need any more creepy things coming alive." Simon looked down at Chloe. She nodded absentmindedly. Derek walked through the back door and locked it behind him.
"I'm going back to bed…night" Derek said. He walked past Simon and Chloe and padded up the stairs. Simon looked back at Chloe. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't.
"Ok let's go back to bed" nodding Chloe followed Simon up the stairs. She said goodnight and headed to her room. Before she fell asleep, she thought of the scratching on the door. Reminding herself that it was only a rat, she fell asleep.
OoOoO
Outside seventy miles away, a girl was sprinting in the woods, running as fast as she could away from her pursuers. Her arms were cut and bleeding.. She kept running not knowing where she was running too. Just that the way she was going would save her life.
A/N ok so I know this chapter was rather short but I'll try and make the next one longer. Tell me what you think about the mystery girl and what might happen.
