I actually have chapters 3 and 4 done, but I want to see what you guys think before posting. So review! :)
"Where were you?" Amy yelled as soon as Alek entered the bedroom. "And what happened to you?" she added more quietly when she saw the blood and wounds all around his body.
Seeing Chloe on her bed, Alek's eyes widened. The hurt and anger he felt when she confessed she loved Brian to her mom was immediately replaced by worry. He made a sign with his hands for Amy and Paul to be quiet.
"Hello?" he said into his phone. "We need a healer immediately at the Uniter's house. The Uniter's unconscious."
"What happened to you?" Amy repeated once he pocketed his phone.
"What happened to Chloe?" he exclaimed, kneeling next to her bed.
"Our question first," said Paul, folding his arms over his chest, trying to look tough but failing miserably.
"No. What happened to Chloe?" After what he had just gone through, he was in no mood to deal with questions. Also, he still wasn't sure of what he would do; should he tell them the truth? Or should he wait for Chloe to wake up and tell her first?
Thankfully, the humans had paid attention to the tone in his voice and told him the little he knew. It was a lot worse than he thought.
Brian was dead. They didn't know how he died; Chloe had passed out before she could explain. They had anonymously called 911 before leaving the museum so that something could be done about the body, then rushed Chloe home, using the spare set of keys Amy had to get in. They called Valentina, Jazz, and Alek for help, but none had responded.
"Does her mom know?" asked Alek.
"No. We didn't want her to worry," Paul said.
"Good." Alek took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"Now, what happened to you?" demanded Amy.
"I'm telling you now," Alek warned. "It's not gonna be good."
The room was quiet. Alek had told them everything. Well, almost everything. He accidentally "forgot" to mention that Zane was his brother. Maybe-brother, he told himself. He still wasn't sure of what to make out of it.
"What should we do now?" Paul asked. Alek sighed.
"I'm going to the roof. Tell me what the healer says about Chloe." Without waiting for a response, he climbed out the window and jumped onto the roof.
He sat, wishing he had something to do. All of his thoughts were focused on one thing, or specifically, one girl—Chloe. It was his fault Chloe was unconscious. If only he had been there, protecting her instead of running away from her, this wouldn't have happened. It didn't matter that he might've saved Valentina and Jazz. Chloe was the Uniter; her safety should've been his top priority.
He shouted in frustration; he hated feeling so helpless.
Please, Chloe. Wake up.
