Chapter Four:

Night POV

I really wanted to lock the little snot up and be done with it. I had known she had been trouble the minute I had found her. She had been half frozen to death, but her green eyes had been full of mischief. When I had first brought her home I had thought, how much trouble could one little girl be? A lot apparently!

The minute she had recovered she was running wild through the woods. She would disappear for days on end. When she did come back she was always tattered and tired. Being the Alpha back then I couldn't go with her. I would drive myself crazy with worry over what she was doing. The pack started to believe I was unfit to be Alpha. My own brother challenged me for the spot! Not wanting to fight my brother, I went with Moon. We haven't been back in year and a half.

We'd been to a lot of places but none as strange as this one. Spicy scents of different powers filtered through my nostrils. Moon fidgeted beside me. She always got nervous when a supernatural was around. The werewolf, Derek, wasn't helping much. He was keeping us under careful watch. Making it all too obvious he didn't trust us. I asked myself for the millionth time today, why had Moon searched so hard for him?

They lead us into a kitchen. My inner wolf perked up, his mouth watering from the scents of fresh food. I took inventory on the food piled high next to the stove. There wasn't enough for everyone and two werewolves. The wolf whined mournfully at the prospect of no food. I hushed him with the promise of a hunt later on. It was something I had picked up on while running around with Moon. While in wolf form I could hunt and digest small animals and it kept my hunger satisfied.

"Come on guys, grab some food and head into the dining room," a male's voice called from inside the room. I skipped the food heading straight for the dining room. The table was almost full leaving barely enough seats for everyone. I slid into the chair furthest away from the strangers. One by one the others trickled in. Derek sat to my left. He must have had the same distance idea as me. Chloe sat on my right. I wrinkled my nose at the faint smell of death the emanated off her.

Moon trailed in last when, of course, there were no more empty seats left. Seeing this she made a beeline to me. She slid a huge plat of food on the table before nudging her way on to my lap. She watched me with waiting eyes. The food was for me. I glanced at the plate. Eggs, bacon and pancakes were strewn carelessly around. There was a lot but not enough for both Moon and I to be satisfied. Knowing Moon, this was her way of apologizing to me and she wasn't going to touch the food.

I reached past her for a slice of bacon. She watched as I popped it into my mouth. "Thank you," I whispered. She beamed up at me. "It's really good you should have some." She hesitated so I plucked another piece of bacon of the plate and brought it to her mouth. Cautiously she nibbled on the strip. Finding it to her liking she took it out of my hands and ate it. I moved the plate closer to her so she could help herself.

By the time I focused on what was going on, everyone was introducing themselves. They were three people in. "Hey y'all I'm Delos. I'm an Exustio Half-Demon." The half-demon was a young man maybe early twenties. He had short curly orange hair and copper eyes. Freckles covered the tops of his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. A large dimpled smile was on his face.

"Hey, I'm Xavier. I'm a Tonitru Half-demon. Which means lightning" (a/n: Tonitru really means thunder in Latin but I thought it was much cooler than the actual world for lightning.) He sure did look like lightning had struck him. His frizzy blond hair stood up every which way. His blue eyes were bright yet strangely glazed over. He looked to be the same age as Delos.

"Tori, I'm a witch." She was part of Derek's pack. She had thick black hair, narrowed dark eyes and a permanent scowl on her face.

"I'm Derek and a werewolf." That seemed to get a reaction out of the older supernaturals. Their eyes widened like they were looking at a killer. I rolled my eyes. Other supernaturals were always like that. Just because young werewolves couldn't always remember to keep their strength in check they deemed as all dangerous.

"I'm Night, werewolf," I said giving the scardy cats a huge wolfish grin. I made a point to show them my pointy canine teeth. They cowered further in their seats. I could have laughed at them but that wouldn't help my cause. So I sat back and glared at them over Moon's head.

"Hello, I'm Moon and I'm human." She gave them all a cute-believe-me grin. Having a human around the table seemed to shock them more than werewolves. Or perhaps it was the fact that she was seated on the big bad werewolf's lap. Of course Moon was the farthest from human, not that she liked to tell anyone.

"Hey, I-I'm Chloe a-and I'm a n-necromancer," she stuttered. That would explain the smell of death.

"Hey, Simon I'm a sorcerer." He had also been with Derek earlier. The scent of his power was fainter than the rest. It was there but not as over powering as the others in his group.

"I'm Tommy, shaman." He was the only other teenager at this table. He hadn't shown any fear at there being two werewolves at the table. I had met shamans before. They tended not to be too judgmental. This shaman had light brown hair, tan skin and hazel eyes.

"I'm Haylie and I'm a telekinetic." Haylie was dressed in a dark blue Lolita dress. The only reason I knew it was Lolita was because Moon thought they were the cutest clothes in the world. She had shoulder length straight brown hair and brown eyes. I placed her around the age of twenty-nine.

"Hello, I'm Mary Rose and I'm a Ventus Half-Demon. I can control winds." Mary Rose had light brown hair that fell in curls around her shoulders and equally light brown eyes. She was probably the oldest one here beside the guy who had called us. I didn't hear his name. She was giving us warm smiles, even Derek and I.

"Now, that that's done we would like to hear you story," said the head honcho man. As the four I met earlier worked their way through their tale I couldn't help but be a little amazed. They were experiments. A group of scientist had tried to eliminate their powers but the plan backed fire making them unstable. So they had all been sent to a home mental teens. If the scientist there didn't see a decrease in power use they were killed like failed lab rats. They had busted out of that house and run here.

"Night, do you have any fighting experience?" He asked me once their story was over.

"Night is the best fighter in the world!" Moon chirped enthusiastically.

"Good, then I would like you to train Derek." I felt Derek cringe beside. He'll have to spend more time with the enemy I guess.

"Jillian, I'd like you to train Tori." I was guessing Jillian was a witch. I had missed her introduction earlier. She was dressed head to toe in black. Her long black hair was tied back in a ponytail so she could show off her skull earrings. Her dark eyes narrowed at the suggestion.

"Andrew!" she complained but he ignored her.

"We will re-group in a few days to discuss plans for the attack." With that he retreated from the room. Jillian stormed off after him. Everyone else exited in a less angrily way. Simon and the shaman Tommy were discussing basketball as they walked out. A black girl with an Academy Is… t-shirt and jeans was trying to get a smile out of Tori. I hefted Moon off my lap and pulled her to the side door we had first entered the house.

"I'm going on a hunt. Be good and stay here," I half begged half ordered.

She frowned up at me. "What about food in the kitchen?"

"There is none, they'll have to go shopping soon." I hadn't smelled anything substantial in the kitchen beside the breakfast.

"What about the food I gave you?"

I had purposely let her eat most of it. If I had told her she had it would only make her feel bad.

"There was a lot but I'm still hungry." The happy expression slowly slid off her face. I leaned down and placed a small kiss on the top of her head. "Thank you." The smile returned to her features. I turned to head out the door.

"Night, clothes," She demanded her small hand out stretched for them.

"Can't I take them off outside?" I asked. She waggled her hand around in a give them here motion. Letting out an annoyed sigh I checked to make sure no one was coming in. I stripped off my shirt, tossing it onto Moon's head so she couldn't see. I added my pants as extra weight. Before she could pull them off I charged out the door. I jumped off the porch landing on four paws and rocketing into the woods.

Derek POV

"Derek," Chloe called stopping me from exiting the room. She was still seated at the table. Her head was bowed intent on only looking at her entwining fingers.

"Hmm?" I encouraged her to keep talking. I walked back to the table sitting down next to her. Her unease rolled off of her in strong waves.

"Do you trust them?" she asked. I knew who she was talking about but I still asked.

"Night and Moon?"

She nodded. "It just seems like they're hiding something. For some reason I can't believe that Moon is just human. Do you think they could be working for the Edison Group?"

"I'm not sure. I think they are hiding something, but I don't think they're working for the Edison Group," I answered truthfully.

"Maybe we should keep an eye on them?"

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Like with Liz?"

She shook her head, "She hasn't come back yet". My other eyebrow shot up.

"So what were you thinking of?"

She went very silent. Her cheeks turned a cute light pink. "Y-you're w-w-werewolves sen-senses," she stuttered.

I let out a thoughtful grunt to let her know I had heard. I contemplated her idea for a moment. It may work if they were somewhere inside of the safe house. If they went outside it would be harder to keep tabs on them. "I could try," I said. Her eyes glistened with happiness that I was actually taking her seriously. A smile tugged at the corner of my lips. I quickly stopped it, remembering that our relationship hadn't evolved that far yet. A smile might freak her out. I turned my attention to the sounds of the house. It was easy to pick out Moon's energetic voice and Night's sarcastic one.

"Night, just left," I retaliated to Chloe. She stayed silent so I could finish listening but I could tell she wanted to ask why. I wasn't quite sure why he had left. I listened to Moon shuffle into the kitchen. Cupboards opened and closed. A song started softly from her mouth. I became captivated by the sound of her voice.

It seemed to drag my attention away from everything else till I was alone with only her words. "I will never believe in anything again, change will come, oh change will come, I will never believe in anything again," Moon sang. As she started the second verse her voice changed. It was a slow change and I didn't realize it till the words changed too. "Derek never believe in anything again, never believe in what happened, change will come, change will come, Derek put all your trust in them!" The them was punctuated with a chilling gust of wind that jerked me back to reality.

Worried bright blue eyes were staring into mine. I was slumped over in the dining room chair. Chloe was out of hers, hovering over me. My heart jumped at how close we were. The werewolf woke, his keen eyes watching his mate move. Chloe gently touched my forehead than cheek. Her eyes darted to watch my muscles. When she was certain I wasn't going to change she calmed down a bit but didn't move away.

"Derek, what happened?" she asked.

I shrugged. Her eyes hardened slightly. She knew I wasn't telling her the truth. "Derek!" she protested. I didn't reply. I had no clue what had happened to me either. I had come to recognize the voice as it sang. It was that of the shadows. Had she traveled back with me? Who did she want me to put all my trust in. Night and Moon?

"Derek," Chloe's pleading voice snapped me away from my thoughts. "Can you please tell me what happened, I was so worried! One second you were fine and the next y-y-you l-looked like you were d-d-dead." Tears started to form in her eyes. My own eyes widened. I had scared her!

'Of course you did,' the wolf scolded. He took the time to remind me that Chloe had loved me in the past. Guiltily I admitted that I thought her feelings might have changed. To change the future you must change the past, right? I had been nervous that Chloe's feelings didn't exist at all.

"Chloe," I said wiping the tears off her face. "I'm fine, I swear. Also I think we should trust them. In the long run it may be for the best." Then I gave her a small smile. Shock passed over her features but she covered it with a bright smile. She leaned closer, wrapping her small arms around my neck. Hesitantly I hugged her back.

"Have you seen that little cutie, Moon?" The telekinetic Haylie said marching into the dining room. Startled Chloe jumped back, releasing her hold on me and toppled into her chair, which fell away behind her. She would have followed the chair's descent to the ground if I hadn't jumped up and caught her. "Oh, was I interrupting something?" Haylie asked.

"No," I said making sure Chloe could stand, before letting go of her. "Isn't Moon in the kitchen?"

"Nope, I thought since she just came with you guys that she might not have any clothes and I think she would look mega cute in a Lolita dress." Wait, Haylie thinks they came with us. So they had lied when Chloe asked if they lived here. "You would look cute in one too," Haylie said staring at Chloe. Chloe's cheeks became red.

"We'll go look for her for you," I suggested. Really I just wanted to know why she had lied to us. I saw Chloe nod her head in agreement.

"Who are we looking for?" Simon asked entering the room. How long had he been out there?

"Moon," Chloe answered.

"Oh, I'm coming too!" Tori said. "I can't stand doing nothing anymore!" She walked over and grabbed Chloe by the arm. Chloe threw me one more worried glance over her shoulder.

"So where is she?" Simon asked when I'd walked over to him. I checked the air of the house. There was only a faint trace of Moon's unique smell. She was outside, obviously not listening to Night's last plea. So that were we started.

A/N: Hey again. What did you think? I tried to add some Chloe Derek stuff but I don't know if it worked out. I gave you some background on Night and Moon. And what's this Moon isn't human? Any guess on what she might be? Since I'm starting small and getting bigger I would like ten reviews this time (two more than last). You can do it! Till next time! Wait! I'm going to do a bit of advertisement. PLEASE READ MY STORY ON FICTIONPRESS!! It's called Blood Angel's Promise. Oh and a review would be nice.
