Hey, it sweetist02darkestdeath here. I hope you enjoy my story, it's my first one so don't get mad. It might suck a little bit, but I guess that's what reviews are for. Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not own Darkest Powers.

Derek's POV

Dad was driving us to another one of the labs to rescue another subject. No one really wanted to go, but apparently he knew the subject well and said that their life was very important and that many people depended on the person.

"So, where are we going exactly?" Simon asked

Dad answered " Well, she lives in the very main building, down in-"

"So…it's a girl?" Simon asked, more like stated.

We all rolled our eyes at him, and Tori snorted.

"Is that all you care about? Is if the subject's a girl? What, so you can finally have girlfriend?"

Simon raised his hands in defense "I was just asking"

After an awkward moment of silence, I decide to ask " Why is she so important? "

Dad glanced at me, a little worry in his eyes. "She's…special. You'll see."

I decide to keep quiet after that. I wonder what he meant by "She's special" and why did he give that look, as if he expected me already know, as if I'd already met her.

"We should be there in about 4 hours max. So if you're tired, you should probably take the time now to get some rest."

We all mumbled in agreement. Soon, I was out like a light.

…

I woke to my dad shaking me and the sound of Simon and Tori arguing…yet again.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know! I wasn't even conscious!" Simon yelped.

Tori hit Simon in the head " You might not have been awake, but you were still drooling on me!"

" How was I sup-"

" COULD YOU TWO STOP YELLING FOR FIVE MINUTES?!" I yelled. Everything went quiet.

"Thank you.…" I looked at Chloe for a moment, she smiled sympathetically and squeezed my hand, I returned a reassuring smile.

Dad cleared his throat " We're here"

I looked outside, and WOW, it was enormous. Though I wasn't sure if I wanted to go inside, I had a bad feeling about this. We all stepped out of the van, a bit cautiously.

" So…do we just go inside?" We all gave Simon a look, " sorry.…" he mumbled.

As we were trying to figure out a plan to get inside, I smelt a familiar scent, but I couldn't place my finger on it.

"What's wrong?"

Chloe asked It wasn't until she asked that I realized I was frowning deeply.

"Nothing" I said, but I knew she didn't buy it, though she nodded and didn't press the subject, in which I was thankful for.

"We'll just sneak in here and hope to not get caught" Dad said.

We followed him inside, creeping slowly so we couldn't hear our footsteps. Suddenly, Dad stopped walking. There were voices coming from a room at far end of the hallway. We walked a little further so I could take a look in. I gasped and looked at behind me. Dad was smiling, as if he knew what- who - I saw, whereas the others looked plain confused.

" Rose?" I whispered

Xxx

So, there you have it. The first chapter. Please review, I'd love to know what I did good and did bad.

Peace out!
