DISCLAIMER: I want to own it… but I honestly don't. *Le Sigh*

Trees. That is all I can see. The never ending scenery of trees. I should count myself lucky that it's not four plain walls that I can see, like in the Edison Group headquarters. We are in a Volkswagen Sharan which amazingly seats 7 people and is quite spacious. Myself and Derek are at the back of the car, Tori and Simon are in the middle row whilst kicking each other and then there is Mr Bae and Aunt Lauren in the front. Mr Bae said his friends live in a very enclosed area and that it is out of the Edison group's eyes and that they could not possibly find it. Yeah. Right.

I think Mr Bae doesn't realise that they find us eventually no matter where we are. I serious felt like those characters out of that book, 'Breathe'. Trapped in a dome type place and being lied to by people who you felt like you should trust.

I wish my life was normal. No running. No Hiding. No corpses. No spirits. Nothing like that.

But do I really? That would mean no Derek. No Tori. No Simon. I know I used to dream about my life being more exciting than the same routine I had every day but this? I honestly never would have expected.

"…shopping." I woke up from my daze to see Tori staring at me as if expecting me to answer.

"What?" Tori's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean 'what?' were you even listening to me?" she huffed.

"Sorry Tori. What did you say?" I said. She replied with a sigh, "I said we will have to get new clothes and that means we have to go shopping. Honestly Chloe I expected you to be enthusiastic about this! It's the only normal thing we will have done in a long time." She turned around in her seat with her arms crossed. Great now I have annoyed Tori.

I looked over at everyone and everyone was in their own little worlds. I looked at Derek and he was staring at something in his hand. I stared at his hand with such intensity that I hoped I could see through his hand to see what it was. All I could see was flashes of gold so I assumed it was a piece of jewellery. Still, where did he get it from? I have never seen him carry any jewellery with him. I looked at his face to see his expression and of course he is a man of many emotions. Not.

Ever since we got in this car he hasn't even spoke to me and now I know why. He has been focusing on that gold item for so long that it gave the impression it was very, very important to him. Still, what could this item be and where did he get it?

I think I am turning into someone out a CSI with all these questions and looking deep into things. I turned my attention away from Derek and back to the window. I will ask Derek about it later and if he doesn't want to tell me, that is fine by me. I shouldn't pry on his life so much because if he wants me to know he will tell me eventually.

"Almost there kids." My eyes took in the scenery as it changed from thick forests to very thin as we got nearer to house. The long driveway was beautiful; it had amazing bushes of flowers. It reminded me of the red roses in Alice in Wonderland. As the car turned around this massive oak tree that was in the middle of the drive we finally got to see the houses exterior. Oh. My. Gosh. It was the most beautiful house I have ever laid my eyes on and probably the biggest too. It looked like the perfect country manors you see in movies. I was astonished. The engine stopped and we all just sat in awe, Mr Bae opened his door and told us to wait a moment. He knocked on the door 3 times and waited for a response. The door opened to see two people a man and a woman who opened tot door wide and greeted Mr Bae with open arms. We could hear them laughing and Mr Bae kept point to the car whilst probably explaining what we were doing here. Once they had finished talking Mr Bae came back and told us to follow him.

I got out of the car and took in the appearances of the people at the door. The man was very tall with brown short hair and at least looked about 45. The woman was small and she had ginger hair and the most electrifying eyes I have ever seen. They stood out so bold, so radiantly that they draw you in. She had orange eyes with the most beautiful flecks of gold. She was truly a picturesque sight. I looked down at me and saw scruffy clothes, horrible black hair which did not help my pale complexion. I must have looked like a 13 year old Goth girl. There is nothing wrong with Goth's or emos but I am seriously not either of them. I felt like such an idiot with this appearance, what Derek saw in me. I looked around for Derek and found him to be the furthest away from me with a sad look on his face. I expected the famous Derek Souza to be on high alert, scanning the area and protecting us like he always seemed to do. But here he stood with such a defeated look, it made me realise that something was seriously up. My mind flashed back to the gold item and it made me even more curious to figure out what the true meaning of it was.

I turned my attention back to the man and woman addressing us, apparently their names are William and Emma.

"Kit I am so glad you are okay. We have been worried about you for years and we sadly thought you were dead. Please stay for as long as you like and no more disappearing without saying something first, it was hell not knowing what happened to you." Emma stated.

"Oh are these your children Kit? And who is this lovely woman? Hmm?" William persisted. Kit's head shook with a smirk, I wonder does he know Tori is even his daughter and if he does will he say?

"Emma. William. I would like you to meet Lauren Fellows and her niece Chloe Saunders." Kit stopped a moment and looked at Tori. He must know. He must be deciding whether to introduce her as his daughter or just as another experiment.

"And this is the lovely and smart Victoria Enright who was at Lyle House with my sons and Chloe. Of course you know my sons from many years ago, this is Derek and this is Simon." Kit started with a saddened tone but then changed to pride. Emma gave him a look which seemed to be saying 'I know'; she turned her attention to the boys instead.

"Oh my. Derek and Simon, you two have grown up so much! Let me look at you!" Emma rushed out. "Oh Derek, Lily will be so happy to see you! You two were such a cute couple. She only ever went on about how much she missed you and she still does. Simon, Ryan is here too and I am sure you two can get back to competing with each other on those silly video games again." She beamed.

Lily? Who was Lily? Who was she to Derek? I looked over at Derek and saw him with the biggest smile I had ever seen. I felt a pang of jealously and sadness. He never smiled that much when he was around me. The hurt must have shown on my face because Tori grabbed my hand and gave me a friendly squeeze. I faced the two adults again and made my face expressionless.

"Well come on in everyone that journey must have been exhausting. Let's go and get you all hot drinks and then I will show you were you can sleep." William said. William kept glancing at me; he must have seen my face.

We walked into the house and turned right to go into the kitchen, the kitchen had a long isle and many seats but also had a dining room attached which must at least seat 30 people. How many people are there? We all sat down on a stool while Emma and William made hot chocolates. I was sitting next to Tori and I kept my hands on my lap and stared at them as if hoping that would make me invisible. Tori held my hand again, she was treating me like a sister would and I highly respect her for that. I looked up at her and she gave me a knowing look and then squeezed my hand again. I looked over at Derek and realised he was talking very fast and excitedly to Emma about Lily. My chest felt tight and I had to look at my lap again so the hurt was not visible. Tori shot daggers at the side of Derek's head and her other hand started to spark a bit, I didn't even bother to stop her as she shot the fireball near Derek's head in which smashed a plate on the other side of the room.

The whole room was silent and Derek shot Tori daggers, I was so glad Tori did that. "Just like your father said you were going to be all them years ago, a very powerful witch. Kit you must be so proud of you daughter."

So a cliffhanger.

Not nice, I know but it seemed like a good place to stop. Okay so I know it is shorter than any other chapters I have published but this is all I could do this time. My schedule is so hectic, my friend life isn't so great at the moment because I spend to much time working on essays etc. So I will try to update as often as I can but it will be random times most of the time. (Got to work to get into UNI)

Anyway please R&R and share your thoughts accept for grammar complaints( I know it is awful :-/ Got to work on it and I am ) and OOC reviews. Just because I know these are issues. Please, after reading this will you check out my Poll? It is about this story and I need all your opinions. It's your story guys, you choose the directions (Most of the time)

God Bless you all.
