The Guest
I dont own the Darkest Powers Trilogy
"Hey!" I was in shock Simon was at the door,
"What are you d-d-doing here?" I stuttered out,
"Dad sent me he gave me his car," I nodded, "um Chloe you gonna invite me in?" I looked at him and noticed I was blocking the door,
"Oh uh ya come on in," I moved and walked into the enormous living room, "so why are you here?"
"I'm not much use to dad until my powers grow also I get in the way a lot so I offered to help you dad said yes," he sat on the couch beside me and I watched as his eyes grew bigger when they noticed the room. It wasn't a big living room and it had those steps down into it the chandeler had candles so I knew this room didn't get much light. It had a marble coffee table and two black leather arm chairs the couch was more of a maroon coulor and the floor a dark cherry wood as the walls were black paint. It was in my opinioin a Derek room I must of sighed at the thought of him jumping when Simon continued speaking, "Derek wanted to come but Aunt Laren said no."
"Well why don't you go find a room my bags on my bed" Simon nodded and got up and I realized I had been at the house for two hours going through everyroom. I got up and went to the kitchen finding a pot took a long time but I finally did and I ran to the cubourds pulling out the K.D I saw earlier. I cooked it carefully wondering what I would have done if Derek had come to the door.
"Chloe?" I jerked out of my thought and noticed that the K.D was done I pulled it off the stove and saw Simon sitting at the bar,
"Well don't just sit there Simon Bae get of your but and find the bowls!" he jumped of the stool and started opening the cubourds as I started looking for cutlery I found them on my fourth try, "found the cutlery,"
"Found the bowls!" Simon shouted with glee two minutes later, "were gonna have to label the cubourds to find anything in here." I laughed he was right I opened another drawer and pulled out the Sharpie I saw before tossing it at him he reached out to catch it but it skimmed his fingers. I heard him grumble something as he bent over to pick it up. I grabbed the bowls of the counter and dished in the K.D I put enough in Simons bowl for him and noticed I had made enough K.D for him, Derek and me. I walked away from the pot. I noticed Simon had two cups and was digging in the fridge. I sat down and moments later he brought apple juice over I smiled.
"Good?" I asked the frist time I spoke in this meal Simon just nodded his mouth full of K.D, "good." I jumped when Simon started speaking we were done dinner and I was getting ready to do dishes,
"You wash I dry," I nodded and continued filling the sink we didn't say word until we were done, "we should probably go to bed big day tomorrow." I nodded and ran up the stairs.
"Night Simon!" I yelled at him,
"Night Chloe and isn't that Dereks sweater?" I halted in my tracks turning around I nodded as the heat jumped in to cheeks. Simon just muttered something and laughed.
I drifted off to sleep clutching Dereks sweater. I was looking out a window and I turned around to see Aunt Laren walk into the guys room Derek and Simon were sitting on the couch and Tori was just coming out of their bathroom. Aunt Laren cleared her throat and the guys quieted,
"Boys and Tori there is something you should know," Derek sat up straighter, "Chloe won't be coming back." Dereks faced dropped and greif and sorrow entered his face for a moment before the anger kicked in,
"What do you mean she isn't coming back!" He was on his feet now staring down at my Aunt,
"Kit is taking her away so she won't indanger any of you but where she won't be caught herself," Derek glared down at her,
"And I suppose this was Dads idea!" Laren just nodded. I walked closer to the scene how could I be in the past? This was right after I left? I looked at Derek. Yep he was still glaring at my Aunt, "Where is she!"
"I'm sorry Derek we can't tell you that," Kit came through the door,
"Dad?"
"Yes Simon?"
"Can I talk to you alone?" Kit nodded and the two of them walked out. I figured that was when Simon asked to join me. Derek turned away from my Aunt and stormed off to his room. I laughed it was so like him to be dramatic about this. I followed him in to see him punching the bathroom wall over and over. I sat on the toilet and watched as he beat the wall until his hands were bloody. He was to preoccupied to notice Simon sneak away.
"Derek," I said sadly as he never stopped hitting the wall.
I woke in my bed shaking off the dream. Derek was on my mind as I walked down stairs to see a young girl on the couch with what looked like her older brother and Simon sitting in a chair talking to them.
"Hey Chloe meet Janie she's five and a volo half demon and so is her brother-"
"Chase I'm 16 also a volo half demon genetically altered to be stronger,"
"Hi im Chloe I was also genetically altered to be a stronger necromancer and believe me it worked," Chase laughed and I turned back to Simon, "do we have breakfast made these two must be hungry." Simon jumped up and looked at the little girl,
"How does chocolate chip pancakes sound Janie?" the girl jumped up and nodded,
"Janie, Chase um follow me we can find you each a room and then you can have a shower or a bath," Janies eyes widened at the bath part she skipped up the stairs and turned to look at Chase,
"Chasey can we stay here?" Chase just smiled and nodded Janies face lit up, "yay!" I caught up to her,
"Here these to room are joined so they would be perfect for the two of you," Chase just nodded and Janie ran into the bathroom I heard the water start running,
"Can I talk to you?" I nodded and lead him into my room, "thanks for letting us stay,"
"No problem,"
"I wanted to ask if you and that guy Simon are dating?" I was shocked,
"No!" I was annoyed, "and even if I was that would not be your business!" He just stared at me,
"I'm glad your not," Chase started to get closer to me and I scrambled away, "you are kinda pretty you know." I dashed around him to the door and found it locked I fiddled with the lock but he had already grabbed me. Spinning me around he brought his face closer to me,
"Breakfast is ready!" we heard Simon scream I pushed Chase away and ran down to the kitchen, "wow Chloe out of breath much you look like the first time you saw a ghost," then Simon started to laugh at his own joke. Ten minutes later Chase and Janie came down the stairs.
"Hey Chloe,"
"Hi," was all I said, "so Simon did Derek find these two?"
"Chloe is all you think about is Derek?"
"No!" I blushed, "not all the time,"
"And no I think Tori sent these two last I heard my brother is way up in Canada,"
"Hmm do you think Kit will let Derek come here before his next change?"
"If you don't mind me asking who is this Derek?" Chase cut in to our conversation,
"Simons brother," I replied the same time as Simon said "Chloes werewolf boyfriend." I shot him a look and he shrugged his shoudlers.
"Boyfriend?" I nodded at Chase and eating the rest of my breakfast in the quiet.
