So, were you mad at me for the cliffy of the last chapter? I have a feeling some of you were but now I'll make you happy and continue with the story. Will Chloe live or die once again and cause pain for all those around her. Read and find out! !

Chloe's POV:

This darkness wasn't like the one I experienced when dying. It was more the sleep type feeling and I felt an unknown source pulling me towards them. I had no clue who it was or why they wanted me but somehow I knew that this person was safe and would not harm me. I slowly let myself drift towards them and wound up in front of my parents…..my real parents. I wanted so badly to speak to them but it only came out as chocked sobs from all the tears.

"Sweetheart, it's so good to see you again. I'm so proud of you and I know you will achieve great things." My mom looked just like me. She had wavy blond hair and light skin that resembled mine but her eyes were a deep green. She was just as I imagined her.

"We never wanted you to live like this Darling but we had no choice. In the raid that year I and your mother lead the attack. They outnumbered us but we still had faith. Sadly, the order captured your mother and me and tortured us. They knew our daughter was the Uniter but we wouldn't give you to them and so they killed us." This was said by my father. He was a strong looking man and had my eyes. He looked so protective so proud and yet he was destroyed by such hateful human beings.

"We died protecting you and if granted another chance would do it all over again. Sweetheart, you won't die from this poisoned knife because Valentina and Alek are saving you." The second I heard Alek's name I swelled with joy and knew I was being protected. "I knew from the minute he was born. You two were always meant to be prophecies or not. When you two were little you were always together. Playing, laughing, and enjoying life. You two even looked at each other with gazes filled with love. Your Father….."

"I used to imagine that when you were a teen you would be the most gag-worthy Mai couple ever." I laughed at this comment enjoying my time with my parents. "I never thought I would see the day when you 2 found each other again and would re-connect. And you did it so quickly I thought I would have to interfere for a second there. We don't have much more time, but know that we love you more than life itself. And know that no matter where you are or what you're doing know that we will always be right there with you." They both hugged me and kissed me on the forehead. I felt so safe in their arms but I felt I begin to fade.

"We love you Chloe." That was the last thing I heard before I sucked back into a short span of nothingness.

Alek's POV:

It had been the most excruciating 25 minutes of my life. I was still waiting for the love of my life to come back to life. Then again she was never really dead. Valentina said we got to her just in time, any later she would have died right there on my bed. And she died while telling me how she felt about me. Although, I think she made that fairly clear in OUR dream. I just want my Chloe back in my arms, holding her close and letting her heartbeat lull me to sleep. I just couldn't believe that in the short 24 hours we've known each other I've fallen in love with the most amazing girl. It was moving fast, almost too fast. Although Aunt Val once said that all Mai relationships move fast I wonder if she meant this fast. I wasn't going to let it bug me. Chloe was….well she was…..actually Chloe was difficult to explain. Chloe was too good for words. She was one of the only things that made me happy in life. Now Chloe was my life and without her, I had no reason for existence.

With that last thought, the one heartbeat I've been longing to hear filled my ears and I made a mad dash for Valentina's office. There, lying on the examination table was the one person who belonged to me and me alone. She leaped of the table and threw herself into my arms in which I gladly squeezed her to my body. I needed to feel her, touch her, hold her and never let go. I would never let go of her again. Even if it meant me dying, I would die for Chloe. I would do anything for Chloe.

Chloe's POV:

There wasn't a better feeling in the world than feeling Alek's warm embrace envelop me into a cocoon. I just let all the feeling I had bottled up pour out and soak Alek's shirt and I could've sworn I felt a few silent tears of his own wet mine too. I never wanted this moment to end yet I really wanted to go to sleep and charge up for tomorrow and what challenges it may (or may not hopefully,) bring. "Alek…"

"Yes, love." I could get used to being called that. It just sounded so British.

"I really think that we should go to sleep. But can I sleep in your room tonight? This whole almost dying again thing really has me shaken up."

"Of course you can, right this way." He was adorable. We climbed into his bed and felt his warm, strong arms wrap around me. I never wanted to leave his arms and I intended not to. With that thought I feel to sleep and dreamt of a certain blond, British Mai.\

The Next Morning: Chloe's POV:

I awoke from the best sleep I had ever had. The feeling of two muscular arms wrapped around me made me smile. I rolled over to face the sleeping boy who was next to me and felt his arms tighten around me. I smiled at his protectiveness over me.

I took in how relaxed he looked. I've never seen him so at peace. Most of the time his was smirking or cracking jokes and other times his was in his serious Mai mode. I liked this side of Alek. Even if he was sleeping, I liked seeing him so relaxed. I leant up slowly and placed a kiss to his lips. I felt him smile under my lips and I smiled too. I finally thought that no one would interrupt us when his down opened and in walked Jasmine.

"Guys stop kissing I mean you just woke up. Really?" Me and Alek just laughed and heard Jasmine give off a frustrated huff. "Come on get up you 2 we have school."

"Ugggggg, I forgot about school. Okay Jasmine I'll go get ready."

"Thank you Chloe, now I know who the responsible one is." With that she left to go get ready for school herself. I went to get up but Alek pulled me and him under the covers to hide. "Alek what are you…." I was silenced by a kiss.

"If we're really quiet then she won't even know that we're still here." I couldn't help but giggle at his silliness. He kissed me again when I pulled away and ran from his bed laughing. "Hey, what was that?" I was laughing so hard, I was crying. "That's it your on." He began to run after me and that caused me to run faster and laugh harder. I saw my room door come into view and made it there just in time to close the door before he could catch me. "Chloe open the door or I'll knock it down."

"You wouldn't." He didn't want pay back that badly, did he?

"Try me. You have to the count of 3. 1," He was bluffing, "2," He wouldn't do it, "3, ATTACK!" And with that, my door flew open and in comes the one person I thought would never ever do that. He grabbed me and threw me on the bed before tickling me to death.

"Stop…..please stop…I…..can't…..take it." I said breathlessly while laughing.

"Say you're sorry." He wasn't serious. What was I sorry for? "Say you're sorry for running away from my and your stakeout in my bed." Really, what was he 4? It was kind of weird though how he answered my question for me.

"I, we….have to get ready…for school." He wasn't stopping anytime soon so I used the one thing he couldn't resist against him. I grabbed his head and kissed him full on the lips. I almost got lost in the kiss for a second when my head went fuzzy but I regained consciousness when he went to pick me up. "If we don't go to school then you don't get to show me off to all your meat head jocko buddies." I saw his battle play out on his face. I knew I had won.

"Ok but hurry up I want to show you around school and not have you assigned some random person who you don't know." He was too cute for me to handle. I smiled, pecked him on the lips and went to get ready. After showering, brushing my teeth, and curling my hair, I went to go get dressed. I found the perfect 1st day of school outfit. A pair of dark wash skinny jeans with a maroon colored tank that wash covered in beading. I paired it with black ankle boots with a 4 inch heel and my gold multi chain necklace. I want in the bathroom and put on some natural make up. As I walked out I grabbed my black motorcycle jacket and my gold colored clutch.

Walking into the living room I saw Jasmine dressed and as pretty as ever and Alek with his mouth open and speechless. I walked over and closed his mouth for him saying,"Don't want to catch flies now do you? Ready to go Jas?" She shook her head yes before laughing at Alek and than leaving to get the car. When she left I felt to arms snake around my waist and a kiss was placed to my neck.

"How am I supposed to focus in school when your dressed like this?" I giggled as another kiss was placed to my neck.

"I could say the same for you." Now it was his turn to laugh at me and begin to lead us to the door and to the elevator. I turned to face him and intertwined our fingers. "Ready?"

He kissed me slowly and fully on the lips. "Ready." We entered the garage got in the car and headed towards school. It was going to be a fun and LONG day. I could tell already.

I really hope you enjoyed. A recent comment said to slow down so I'll try to take it slower but I have big plans for this story and would like to get far. I'll do my best to please you. Please review and continue to follow me. Happy Reading! =D
