Did I say a wonderful sleep? Nah.

"Chloe! Wake up!" Tori screams. I quickly jump up in surprise, hurting my neck in the process. I look over at Tori to see what's wrong, only to see her standing on her bed, with her body pressed up against the wall.

" Tori, what's wrong?" I ask in a soft voice to try to calm her. She stares at me, and starts pointing on the floor.

" Zombie rats!" I look on the floor and see dead rats crawling towards me. Their dead flesh hanging off of them and their unseeing eyes facing me. I scream in terror. Flash backs of the dead bodies in the crawl space fill my mind.

" Chloe! What's wrong?!" Derek yells through our hotel door. I can hear Derek trying to open the locked door, but just breaks the door in the process.

"R r rats" I cry out to him. Simon yelps and jumps on the empty couch. Derek just sighs and gets on my twin sized bed and sits behind me with his arms around me.

"Relax, breath, and concentrate. Release their souls" he tells me. He runs his hands up and down my arms.

"Just kill them!" Tori yells. By now, Simon has jumped from the couch to Tori's bed, which is higher off the ground then the couch, and Tori is using him as a human shield.

"They're already dead dumb butt" Simon reminds her.

"Dumb butt? That's all you can come up with? And I don't give a damn if they are already dead. Make them deader. Not moving around. Something!" Tori yells at Simon.

"Simon, get Tori to shut the hell up so Chloe can concentrate." Derek commanded.

"Uhh" Simon and I share a fear, pissing Tori off.

"Now!" Derek growls. I close my eyes trying to concentrate, but I can clearly hear Tori's muffled yells. I imagine releasing the rats' souls from their bodies, and after a while Derek whispers in my ear.

"You did it."

I open my eyes and look at the floor. About five dead rats lay in front of my bed, unmoving. Derek moves off the bed and starts picking up the rats with his bare hands.

"Eww, you could at least pick them up with something, you know, to be sanitary!" Tori screeches, her voice full of disgust. Derek shakes his head. He picks up Tori's shirt from yesterday off the floor and starts using it to pick the rats up with. "Derek no! That's my favorite shirt!"

"Which is why I picked it." Derek mutters.

"Derek I'll get you a bag, just drop Tori's shirt." I tell him. I walk into the bathroom and get a shopping bag from under the sink.

"Here" he takes it and puts all the rats in it and walks out.

"Where's Lauren and Kit?" Tori asks while getting off the bed.

"They went to the store to buy some supplies for the trip." Simon told her. He's wiping his hands on his pants, and I can already see the marks where Tori probably, wait, most likely, bit him.

"Did anyone tell them I need eyeliner?" Tori asks. I shake my head and walk out the broken door to follow Derek. I really didn't want to hear Tori bicker right now. Not after the rats.

"Derek?" I called out for him when I got to the boys room. I looked around but he wasn't there.

"He went out to bury the rats you raised." A man's voice says. I look around and a guy in his young twenties walked out.

"Who are you?" I asked. I looked around for something I could use as a weapon. Maybe I should just yell for Derek, he should be able to hear me, but I don't really want to freak him out twice in ten minutes. Ill yell if this guy tries anything shady.

"Charlie Baker. I died in this room and now I want revenge. You're one of those necromancers, right? You can help." Charlie told me. I'm glad that it's just a ghost, but knowing what he wants just annoys me.

"I'm not here to help with your revenge." I tell him.

"I can tell you what your boyfriend says about you." He tells me. I have to admit, it's tempting. It would be nice to know what Derek says about me. He had to tell his father something about me.

"What do you mean?" I ask. He smiles.

"He's been talking to his dad about you. Something about mating or whatever. I'll give you more details if you do something for me."

Mating? Like sex? Derek wants to have sex with me? We just started dating. Derek didn't seem like that kind of guy. Why would he want to have sex with me. I have no curves, I'm five foot nothing, and I look like a little girl.

"Chloe?" I turn around and my aunt Lauren standing at the door with Kit behind her. They are both holding bags of what I'm guessing are groceries for the trip. "Ghost?" I turn around and the ghost from before is gone.

I nod and walk out the room. Once I'm out the door, I see Derek walk towards his room, so I quickly run to mine. In the room, Tori is sitting on her bed, brushing her hair.

"Got more alone time with wolf boy?" She asks.

"No" I say and walk into the bathroom. I take a nice hot shower, and scrub off some imaginary dirt. I don't think I will ever feel fully clean again after living on the streets. Never again will I take indoor plumbing for granted. Getting out of the shower, I get into some of the new clothes my aunt bought me. I have officially gone up a shirt size, which is always great.

"What don't you mean eyeliner isn't important?" Tori is yelling at Kit when I walk out of the bathroom.

"We have limited supplies. Food is important. Gas for the vehicle is important. Clothes are important. Eyeliner is not important." He tells her. She pouts and walks out of the room with her bags of stuff.

"She gets easier to deal with." I assure him. He nods and studies me.

"So does Derek. You are the first girl Derek has ever liked. He is still learning what being a boyfriend means. Give him some time." He tells me. I nod. I get excited at the fact that Kit called Derek my boyfriend. I wanted to ask him about what the ghost said, but I was too embarrassed. I don't know how to ask. How to tell him a ghost told me, or whatever mating means to Derek. Thankfully Simon walked in.

"Dad, the car is packed up." Simon says.

"Alright Simon, head out to the car. Chloe, get your bag and head to the car as well. I have to fix the door to the girls' room, and then we will be on the road." Kit tells us. Simon nods and grabs my bag off my bed and then grabs my hand and pulls me out of the room.

"Can you please sit with Tori; I don't need any more bite marks. But I understand if you want to sit with Derek." Simon asks me once we get to the car. Derek is already sitting in the second row of seats while Tori's in the third.

"Yeah, no need for you to have to deal with her more." I tell him. Plus, I'm still annoyed about the mating thing. Is that all Derek sees me for, sex? I want to find out. Too bad we are leaving the hotel, can't help the ghost now.

I climb to the back seat of the vehicle, my arm brushing Derek's on the way back. He looks at me for a moment, but then goes back to reading a book he has. In the back, Tori has out a magazine, probably one my aunt got her from the store, and is reading an article about Kim Kardashian. She looks up for a second and hands me an empty note book.

"Here, your aunt gave you this for something to do on the trip. Good news is, if we drive nonstop, it'll only take us a day and a half. Unfortunately, we're going to stop a couple of times." Tori tells me. I don't know what Tori expected, that we were all going to pee in bottles the whole trip. Of course we would have to take breaks.

Once Kit and my Aunt gets in the vehicle, with Kit in the driver's seat and my aunt in the passenger's seat. While we drive off, I can see the ghost in the boys' bedroom window. He waves.
