Sorry this chapter took so long to write!
I've been preparing for my prom which was great as I saw all my friends again after a while!
I've also had no time to write because I stayed at my friends for a while seems as my friends all wanted sleepovers and their birthdays are one after the other! -.-
Also my sister has been annoying always needing the laptop for work so I was stuck! Anyway I figured a new way to write these when I'm out and about so updates will hopefully be quicker or if not more than one chapter will be released at the same time.
Enough of me babbling on!
Here's the disclaimer!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT AND NEVER WILL OWN THE DARKEST POWERS SERIES OR THE CHARACTERS! NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IVE WISH I DO, KELLEY ARMSTRONG WILL ALWAYS BE THE EPIC CREATOR!
On with the story …
When we got back into the motel room Aunt Lauren was sitting on one of the beds while she took deep breaths. As soon as we walked in she shot daggers at Derek, honestly if looks could kill Derek would be shot down. I and Derek sat down on the bed facing Aunt Lauren trying to pretend her glares were unnoticeable. To be honest it hurt that Aunt Lauren acted this way towards Derek because all he has ever done is protect me whilst she has betrayed me before. She should know that Derek would not hurt me; she needs to get past the stereotype view of werewolves and accept my Derek isn't like that.
Wait… since when did I call Derek mine?
He's always been called yours since you figured out your true feelings for him and after that kiss was when you realised he was the one you wanted forever.
Err like whoa? The voice in my head is right! I do want Derek forever, but I won't tell him that. I've only just got with him and if I say that now, it will make me seem clingy. It may also creep him out, I know what we said outside seem genuine but what if I'm just a crush he has? What if I'm just going to be one of many of his future girlfriends?
I've always wanted to be that person who grew old with her childhood sweetheart but that's a fairy tale. How can I ever believe that could happen I mean look at my life now. I'm a failed genetically modified necromancer on the run from crazy scientist who wants to kill me and my genetically modified friends. Fairy tales cannot come true to someone who is living a life like this! I feel like I'm in a movie and the plot just thickened.
I haven't realised that everyone was talking to each other about our next move while I'm spaced out staring at the floor. I blush when I realised that Aunt Lauren has been staring at me with so much concern that it is kind of comforting. She is the only family I have left that's here with me and her concern looks makes me see the motherly instinct she has. She has always been there since mom died and it was always nice to have someone there who will play the role of mom when I needed it most. Like when I was in elementary school and there was a fund raiser going on and each person in the class would be given a food to make; I had to bake brownies. Everyone would talk about how their moms will bake them whilst I sat there wondering who I would get to bake them. Dads not a good cook at all, the maids were always busy and Aunt Lauren was always working. When I rang Aunt Lauren about it she dropped everything she was doing and came to bake with me just so I wasn't upset about not having a mom to bake with me. That memory always makes me appreciate her as she thinks the world of me and always wants what's best for me.
I smile at her and she smiles back. We both refocused on the conversation at hand here and I only just noticed that Derek had been rubbing circles on my hand whilst talking to his dad. Derek looked like he was getting frustrated with his dad but his gentle circles told me that even when he was angry it would never be taken out on me.
"But dad you can't be serious thinking we would trust your 'Friends' after what Andrew did to us." Derek snapped. It seems as though they have been arguing over this certain topic for a while because Tori just got sick of it.
"Hey! I'm with wolfboy on this one and it final that we are not going to your friend's home! I say we find the people who are on this list and then we build a defense against the Edison Group and the Cabels! They have only fallen for a little while but they will be back up and running and if we sit in your little friend's house we will have nothing planned for when they do attack! God sake I'm surrounded by idiots!" she snaps and then she stalked into our room which was joined to the boys and slammed the door hard to emphasize she was angry I guess.
"As much as I hate to admit it; I agree with Tori dad, we need to build a defence don't we D!" Simon chirped. Derek Just grunted and stood up, still holding my hand.
"We'll talk more in the morning, were all tired and could do with sleep." Derek's voice rang with authority; he was made to be a leader.
"Come on Chlo." Derek mumbled as he walked to the other side of the bed, me in tow.
"Err excuse me! She's staying in my room! I'm her Aunt and I say she is not staying with you." She snapped and when she reached to grab me Derek pulled me against his chest and growled at her.
Mr Bae pulled Aunt Lauren out of the room and onto the shabby balcony. I watched them have a heated discussion in hushed whispers before my aunt stormed back in and went straight to our room where Tori is and slammed the door shut. I looked to Mr Bae and I saw him nod at Derek and me with a knowing smile. His smile was so warm and full of pride and he said, "I trust you two will just sleep as me and Simon is just here you know." He said with a smirk while getting into bed and turning his lamp off, facing away from us. Simon smiled and winked at Derek before getting into bed as well.
I turned around in Derek's arms and looked at him questionably. His gaze softened and he mumbled,
"I'm sorry I never asked you if you were okay with this…" he looked down shamefully.
"Oh err… don't be sorry I-I-I just wasn't e-e-e-xpecting it." I stuttered. To avoid any more awkwardness I got into bed and waited for Derek to join me. When he did I curled up into his arms and I felt so at peace as his embrace made me feel safe. I had trouble sleeping for a while but Derek never, I watched his face as I analysed his facial structure. His acne was gone and he looked better than ever. He had this radiant glow about him that made me want to stay in this safe area forever but deep down, that nagging feeling that is saying this will be proven false and that he will find someone better is growing stronger and stronger.
Maybe I'm being ridicules or maybe my suspicions will be correct but I should embrace the time I have left with him as once he's gone, my soul is forever lost to the darkness of despair. At that last thought, I shed a tear and then joined everybody else in the land of dreams.
Okay so that is the second chapter and by the way I know the characters are OOC but I have trouble writing them so… it will never change :/
i know its short but i was just not wanting to drag it on :)
