Okay I'm not writing a new chapter until I get some reviews

I don't own darkest powers. I haven't even read the reconing yet

Chloe

I ran up the stairs to Derek. Shadows were holding him down. A boy who looked like little more than a shadow himself was crouched, trembling in the shadows near him. Suddenly a large wolf came tearing down the hall towards us. It leaped on top of Derek as the boy released him. The boy turned his attention to the rest of us. Andrew was slammed up against the wall and Simon went sailing past me.

Two girls came running down the hall. Hadn't Derek said there were only three? The smaller of the two, light skinned with light brown hair, tackled me and the other one, a black girl, faced off with Tori. A hole opened below Tori's feet sending her crashing to the first floor.

"Run!" Derek screamed at the rest of us.

I was so not leaving him there. I squirmed away from the girl and began to head towards him when I felt something hard hit me on the back of the head. Everything went black.

*****

Derek

I was facing off against a wolf the size of a bear. He seemed determined to keep me separate from the rest of the fight. I figured I could keep him distracted while the others got away. I was aware that Tori had fallen through the floorboards. I screamed at the others to run. Then I heard Chloe gasp. She fell to the ground in front of a small girl who had just kicked her in the back of the head. The boy who held me down with shadows was sparing with Andrew and a black girl was attacking Simon. No one was getting out of here.

"What do you want?" I growled at the wolf. He growled at me.

"Just stop!" I heard a girl scream. "We know you're from the Edison Group and you're not going to get us so just stop it!"

"You think we're from the Edison Group?" I said. The wolf growled at me again. "We're not. We're running from them to."

"Yeah right," I hear someone sneer. I turn to see the boy standing behind me. "That's what they said last time they found us. We were just minding our own business, hanging out in Arizona and they tried to kill us. Don't even try to pull the 'We're on your side' crap"

I stare at him. They only attacked us because they thought we we're attacking them. "Fine I give up. Just let my friends go."

"He's serious Damien," the small girl who kicked Chloe came and stood next to the dark boy. "I don't think he's from the Edison group."

I wonder what she is. She didn't use any spells and she doesn't smell like a wolf so I think she's a shaman or possibly a necromancer. The dark boy is ever weirder. He has no smell at all.

"Selena leave them alone," the girl calls to the other girl who is standing guard over Andrew and Simon with a knife.

"But Lilac I'm having so much fun. We haven't had a fight since what, yesterday?" she says sarcastically as she walks over.

The wolf seems pissed and pushes past us to the stairs. He pulls open the front door with his paw and runs out into the night.

"Ignore Aries, he's moody," Lilac says. "We should probably get that girl that Selena dropped through the floor. Selena fix that hole."

It's obvious who's in charge here. We head down stairs to the living room. "Oh and you never told me your names…"

If I get 4 reviews today I will write a new chapter Horay!
