I was in the woods. The eerie fog rising from the damp and leafy forest floor. Trees towering over my miniature size. My strawberry- blonde hair blows in my pale face. Where's Derek?

Almost as if someone heard my thoughts, a tree branch snaps from my right.

"Derek? Please don't mess with me. I'm scared," I whisper.

He should be able to hear me with his wolf hearing, but there was no answer. The footsteps get closer. It's not Derek, he could sneak up on me without a sound. Now is a good time for Derek to appear out of no where, saving my life, but something is off.

"Chloe RUN!" Derek yells.

He run and motions for me to follow, and of course I do.

"Climb up the tree," Derek whispers, "It's your only chance of living. I'll be fine"

Hot tears form in my eyes, "Stay alive for me Derek, I love you."

I go up to him to give him a hug, just incase he doesn't make it, but when we make contact, he fades away slowly. The sorrow look on his face kills me.

"I'm so sorry Chloe…" Derek cries and he's gone.

A loud SNAP behind me caught me off guard as I spun around. A hand covers my mouth and holds me flush against their muscled body.

"DEREK!" My muffled scream bounces off the trees.

Everything goes pitch black.

"Chloe wake up!" Derek says.

He's on our bed, strong grip on my shoulders as he shakes me.

"I'm up, I'm up, no need to murder." I mumble, still half asleep.

My eyes widen in surprise. Derek's alive! I don't know what I would've done without him. I pinch his right arm and his muscle tenses at my touch.

"You okay Chloe?" Derek asks with concern all over his face.

"Perfect," I pause, "just perfect."

I just realize now, that I have a killer migraine; probably from the stress my nightmare gave me. Big black dots appear in my vision as I slowly lose consciousness.

"Chloe?" Is the last thing I hear from Derek's mouth.
