Chapter 6
I woke up early the next morning. How could I sleep after the night before? Sure, defcaing the guys' cabins was one thing, but defacing the guys themselves? So simple, yet so demonic. So easy, they all slept like rocks. And even though it was juvenile, even I was amazed at how... mature in the most immature way everyone made it. (A/N: you'll understand that sentence in a lil bit) I eased myself out of the bed, wincing at the bitterly cold air. I padded slowly to the shpwer, and turned it with the squeak of sticking hinges to blast the water and steam the tiny bathroom. I went and searched for clothes.
Rae had woken up from the noise.
"Hey. Morning." she said slowly, sitting up. Her hair was frizzed around her face, and her eyes were still drooping. "How'd you sleep?"
"As well as could be expected after such a rush." I replied.
"Pretty hard then. I crashed almost an hour after we got in. The adrenaline wore off. Ugh, I feel like crap. So tight." she said stretching slowly.
"Thats how I feel. Mattresses are almost like wood, don't you think?" I smiled, pulling out jeans and a t- shirt.
"It's better than no mattress at all. Hey, the mirror's covered in steam. Don't waste all the hot water." she said, laying back down.
"I won't I'll be quick." I laughed before slipping into the bathroom. Rae was sliding back under the covers.
I started thinking about the guys reactions. Would they notice? Would they wash everything off before we got to see it? Would they come get us and demand explanations? Would this call for revenge? Well, of course theyd get us back. They were guys. And we'd covered their faces in permanent ink. We should get ready for a full on attack. Because we had it coming. Big time.
I wondered what we'd be doing today. They would have told us if we had to go back and meet with the Assembly again. And since they haven't said a word to us, I doubted that we'd be going back so soon. We'd probably be just hanging out for the day. That would be nice. An entire day without worrying about the Assembly, what would be happening to us, eveything. Drama free. ...Ok, that might be getting too hopeful. Drama would never cease. Not with this group of people.
I left the bathroom in fresh clothes and fell back on my bed. I looked at the clock, and my jaw dropped that it was only 7:00 in the morning. I had reached my normal wake up time again. I threw my pillow at Tori, and dropped to the floor before she could shoot me. She jumped up, startled, and turned to give me a death glare.
"Why exactly are you waking me up at 7:00 in the morning?" she asked, falling back onto her pillow.
"To make sure we're up before the guys. You have the shower last Rae just got in." I said. "Plus I need to find Kit to find my hair dye. I'm taking you with me."
"Ugh, fine. You hear from Xavier? What'd he do?" she asked sitting up again and swinging her legs over the side of the bed.
"Nope. I'm slightly afraid to ask. Maybe having Liz do it would've been better." I said, thinking about it. Xavier could be... scary."Doesn't that make you nervous at all?"
"Not really!" she laughed. "It was your boyfriend he had access to."
"He had access to Blake too. This is Xavier. He's definitely smart enough to go after all of the guys. And he knows for sure that you and Blake are a thing." I said. She looked worried.
"What could he do? Really?" she said, more nervous than she wanted to sound.
"This is Xavier. Don't tell me that you don't kow exactly what he could do." I laughed.
"Oh shit. You're right..." she said, getting up. "How long has she been in the shower?"
"A minute or two. You're next, don't worry. Oh, who'd you draw on, by the way? I couldn't tell." I asked. I went and sat next to her.
"I have no idea. I could make out minimal features. It gets dark in here, you know?" she said, laughing. "I have no idea how any of it even came out."
"I'm sure it all came out fine. I could see what I was doing. Couldn't you?"
"Barely. But I guess it'll all be fine. I'm kinda excited to see what they did. We need to wake them all up so they don't get the chance to take it all off before they see us." she said.
"I know. you want to go see if the others are awake?"
"After I've showered!"
"Oh, come on, you're fine. Take it after breakfast we're not going anywhere today." I said, pulling her up and throwing clothes at her.
"But what about Blake?"
"He won't care! He won't even notice. He's seen you when you look like crap I'm sure he won't mind this for just an hour or two. Calm down and get dressed." I told her again. She grumbled, but did. And she didn't look to happy about it.
Rae came out of the bathroom, and Tori went in. By the time Rae had her pjs back in her bag Tori was done, and we quietly left the cabin and went next door to Skylar, Hallie, and Fallon's room. We went in, and found them all awake also. Alexys had woken them up. Which means that they were up too. From what she and Aveline could tell the guys weren't awake yet, which was good. We were all ready to go and we met in Hallie's room to make sure we had a plan in case they had woken up before. Just in case they decided on revenge right then and there. We head up the hill to the cabins, and first went to Rhett, Alaric, and Austin's cabin. Lanie, Hallie, and Aveline stood excitedly at the door, all three banging on it with both fists. We heard some shouting inside, but finally Rhett yanked the door open.
"What?" he snapped. He froze when he saw Aveline standing there, staring with a huge, goofy, bubbling smile. The other guys came to the door and our laughter spilled over board.
"What's so funny?" Austin asked. He looked at Alaric and Rhett and sputtered into laughter. Soon they followed.
After a few minutes of all of us laughing, Alaric stopped. "Wait they drew on all of us! What the hell are we laughing for?" he snapped.
"You should see your face man, it's hysterical." Austin said, breathing hard.
"You haven't seen yours." Rhett said. He calmed down and stood back up fully, and stretched.
"Woah woah woah- what's that?" Aveline said, pointing at his stomach. He froze, mid stretch. And there was some ink lines, there on his chest. She reached over and quickly yanked his shirt up to his chin.
"Well this makes things only slightly awkward." he said, looking down. "What the hell?"
I know that you're thinking this is sexy was writting in huge big, black letters down his stomach.
"Who wrote that?" he asked, pointing at his chest.
We looked around at each other, expecting someone else to fess up. Then I remembered. "Xavier!"
"That god damned little ghostly son of a-" Lanie said. She reached over and pulled up Austin's shirt. Might as well take my shirt off i saw us together and it wasn't there was scribbled in smaller letters down his chest. She burst into a fit of laughter, and her face turned red. "I take it back he's amazing this is genious!" she said, starting to tear up.
Alexys ran in and dragged out a literally red faced Alaric, and tugged his shirt over his head. "Whoa, Alexys, didn't know you liked it like that." he said teasing her. Then he noticed what she was staring at. "God dammit."
I like what you're thinking about this was written in nice big letters down his chest. Alexys was as red as a tomato, and she dropped his shirt. Mostly because... it was probably right. He pulled his shirt back over his head, and another laugh went around as he showed his friends their faces. We all moved on to the next cabin, where Tanner, Daniel, and Parker were. Skylar was at the door and running through by the time we were there. She pulled the covers off all their beds, waking them up.
"What are you doing?" Tanner asked her, slightly pissed, slightly surprised, still asleep mostly.
She didn't answer, just yanked his shirt up. I can make a bed for us. Right here. Right now. was written in big bold letters. She laughed and dropped it, and moved on to the next. He looked confused, and lifted his shirt up to look down. Upon seeing the words, he fell back, frustrated and embarrassed, and hit his head on the wall. The entire sequence was funny. I looked over to where Parker was still sprawled out on his bed, sharpie all over his face, asleep again. Skylar had pulled his shirt up over his face, revealing red block letters. I was too sexy for that shirt. he continued to sleep until she pulled him off the bed. Finally she went over to Daniel, who was looking at them all a little amused and bleary- eyed, still in the works of waking up. I didn't even care about their faces anymore, it was all about what Xavier had done to each of them. Everyone had the same train of thought, or so it seemed. Daniel jumped when Skylar was suddenly standing over him, giving him an evil smile and then wrenching his shirt to see what worlds had been put there. It's not what you're pushing up that's important, it's what you should be pulling down right now that matters. There was also an arrow. We managed to wake them up and we showed them their new faces, and then dragged them to the next room. Blaine and Nate.
Fallon and Hallie were at the door, excited. Both of the guys were at the door in a minute. They had apparently already found the face drawings, and were in the process of washing them off. Their heads were soaked- and they were failing at it too. Fallon jumped on Blaine, tackled him to the ground (technically she had the upper hand- he had no clue what was going on) and got his shirt off him. She fell off him laughing hysterically, and he was still clueless and seeing stars at being completely mowed down by her. And a little embarrassed. Xavier had gone all out on his, though. By far the best one yet. (A/N: YAY SUZI1811! LUV YEW!) My fangs won't be all that's inside you.
"Now that is kinky" Erin said, falling back with laughter. He looked down, slowly read the message upside down, and fell back with an exhastperated sputter, and gave up. The fight back wasn't worth it.
Hallie stood next to Nate, watching Fallon pull Blaine back up and hug him, and glanced to Nate. He didn't seem to be paying attention. She grabbed the edge of his shirt, pulled it up and over his face, and pushed him backwards onto the bed. She sat on his feet pinning him there, and kept one arm with the shirt up over his head. He didn't seem quite as surprised as I expected him to be, probably with the fact that Blaine just got tackled to the ground. He didn't get a message as much as a warning, though. That's my sister I won't give you ideas. XP was scrawled down his chest, with a rough signature from Xavier. I guess his sister got exceptions.
"Dammit Xavier you suck." Hallie whined, reading the message.
"Well what did you expect? You're his little angel." Fallon said.
"He already threatened all the guys once." I reminded her.
"He thinks I'm an angel? Holy shit..." she said, laughing. Nate took this opportunity and jumped, pinning her on the ground, and smiled down at her.
"Nice try though." he laughed, helping her up. She gave him the bird.
"Quit it, lovebirds! next cabin!" Tori said, grabbing Hallie and dragging her to the last cabin. Derek's, Simon's, and Blake's. should be interesting.
Erin was the first at the door, and kicked it a few times before just barging in. They were up, but didn't feel like getting the door, apparently. She immediately jumped completely on Simon, who was lying in bed listening to music, and I have no idea if he knew about the sharpie or not. He looked surprised- pleasantly surprised, but still, she scared the crap out of him- and before he said anything she kissed him then pulled his shirt up over his face. He never even got his hands out from behind his head. She laughed, obviouly happy. (A/N: again, suzi, amazing! luv yew forevar!) Wizard's wand: 100% guaranteed to make a banshee scream. I guess Xavier was actually watching more than I expected him to be. She put his shirt back, and noticed another quick addition. A little lightning- bolt shaped scar on his forhead. He was he only one with marks on his face.
"What are you staring at?" he asked when she leaned closer.
"Isn't that from some book? About wizards or something?" she asked, poking it. He pushed her off and looked.
"Ah shit... that's just plain rude. And stereotypical..." he said rolling his eyes.
"That was a low hit." she said, thinking about it and prodding his chest.
"Well yeah if it was somewhere up higher you wouldn't be able to scream." Blake said, still laughing. He looked at his chest. and sputtered. "God damn. How did you guys get in here without us knowing?"
"Xavier!" I said happily.
"Like we'd actually come in here. Derek's in here, dumbass." Tori said, sitting on the edge of his bed. She yanked his shirt up for everyone to see.
"Can I do this?" he asked, She hit him. I can be a real tiger in bed. "Don't you think it's cheesy?"
She was doubled over laughing. "Oh god no! That's great!" she gasped. "Chloe?" she looked at me.
"I'm scared! You know I'm always his target..." I said, getting nervous.
"Chloe..." she threatened. Her fingers were already crackling.
"Restrain your girlfriend, Blake." Rae said.
"I'm not his girlfriend." she said, turning her hand towards Rae.
"I'm going, I'm going. Thanks for the backup." I said, looking at Derek. He didn't have a shirt on, but the covers were up around him and he was reading. There were X's on his biceps. Now I was curious.
I pulled the covers back, and he didn't flinch. I couldn't figure out his motives for that. Considering this was pretty much as blunt and evil as it could get. Chloe's FAVE places: complete with arrows pointing to different places and X's pointing them out. On his biceps (as mentioned) pectoral muscles (A/N: she seems like someone who would get fancy with words when embarrassed...), abs, and three fat arrows pointing down his pants, and one pretending to go into them. Dammit Xavier. (A/N: srry for the (second) interruption. but we all know that every place here is true. Because we all love them as well. XD lmao and don't any of you dare deny it.) I felt my face heating up, and I turned away from him. He still didn't budge.
"Wow, Chloe, you know what that last place is like?" Erin asked. They were all withholding as much joking as possible since I was obviously freaked out.
"You don't need to know what it's like to love it." Aveline said.
"You totally did not just help yourself at all by saying that." Alexys said. Aveline turned and saw Rhett giving her a small, smug smile. And he was the mature one. Alaric and Austin had turned and started a small conversation.
"Oh shut up!" she said, smacking both of them.
"We'll I'm leaving now. I want breakfast." I said, turning to leave.
"Don't talk to me at all, I see how it is." Derek finally said.
"Well you've been reading..." I said wondering if he wanted me to stay. I wasn't sure what to do anymore.
"Well what did you want me to say?" he asked, looking up from his book.
"I-I don't know, anything!" I said starting to stutter again. Crap.
"I'm only teasing you, are you ok?" he asked, gently, sitting up a bit.
"Yeah. I'm fine." I said. I just wanted out of this situation. "I'm going up for breakfast. See you guys in a little bit."
I turned and left the cabin. I hate Xavier. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him. Because he always, always, always has to be god damned right... And has to rub it in my face in the most evil, clever, conniving, embarrassing way. I hate him for it. I slowly trudged up the hill, taking in the morning sent, wrapping my jacket around me tight. In my frustration and... respect for him, only now would he enjoy in making one of his few and in-between appearances.
"Hey there Girly. You like the prank?" he asked, slinging an arm around my waist.
"Yes, it was great." I ground out. Because it was. And I hated admitting that. This must be how Derek felt those few times I actually defeated him in an argument.
"You ok, Sweet Cheeks? You sound upset. Oh, you found my little map on Derek, didn't you!" he said, coming closer. I could feel a few pricks of energy sting my cheeks.
"Yes, we did." I said, rolling my eyes. I gave him a soft playful mental shove. "And I'm not kidding, don't call me that."
"Whatever you say, Hun. I'm not listening to that desperate plea, though. You know me." he gave me a broad smile and laughed, like I had made a joke. I couldn't help laughing along. "So, how accurate was I?"
"Accurate about?"
"Don't pretend you have no clue what I'm talking about. Pinpointing your favorite spots on that man of yours. Tell me how good I did. Because I know I had to have gotten most of them. Any girl would be out of her mind not to love those. They are luscious." he said, laughing.
"He's mine for a reason. You have Liz." I said. "Why are you looking around? Usually you're only like that... Oh, no. Did something happen?"
"I haven't seen her in a while. She's been with family. Something's going down with them and she wants to be near them. Pessimistic little darling. I have nothing to look at, cut me a break. My, protective. Taking to the role of a werewolf's mate quite nicely, aren't you, Sweetheart?" he said, nudging me with his elbow.
"How do you know that?" I asked. I hadn't told anybody about it.
"I'm always listening, Cutie. You should have learned that a long time ago." he said.
"Yeah... I know." I said defeatedly. "How long did it take you to come up with all that?"
"Not too long. You know me. I'm a demon."
"Yeah, yeah. Well, would you like to help me make breakfast?" I asked as we entered the hall. No one was there.
"Whatever I may, Princess." he said with a small bow. I rolled my eyes.
"I thought you resigned as my knight? And what about your sister?"
"Must you damper my dramatic personality, young Miss?" he laughed. "What can I do?"
I gave him directions, and I had barely started getting the first food done before everyone came up. After a few people asked, they all left me to work (I didn't mind it was a teeny kitchen- like hotel sized) but Derek came in and stood close behind me. He stood there quietly, watching me make the pancakes.
"So was the prank fun?" he asked.
"Yeah." I replied. "Could you back up? You're cornering me against a hot stovetop."
"Oh, sorry. So, did you tell Xavier what to write?" he asked, his arms tightening around my waist.
"No. You saw the other guys' faces. That's kinda what we expected. We knew something would happen, but nothing like this. It'll come off with some hand sanitizer. The alcohol content takes almost all of it right off." I said, trying to hide my smile and failing. "If you ask me, you got lucky because you don't have to get everything off your face."
"True. Considering you weren't up here too long you got a lot of work done." He said, surveying what was out.
"No, Xavier helped. Liz is with family. Some crisis. But they're otherwise fine. I can handle this. You go with the others." I said, turning to him when I had cleared the stove top.
"No, I haven't had too much time alone with you. Need any help?" he asked. He gave me a soft kiss, and was mesmerized at his change in attitude from gruff, critical, overt rudeness to... the most amazing boyfriend a girl could ask for. (A/N: Please don't be pissed if this isn't how you'd expect Derek to behave. I'm kinda basing it off Lucas... a tad. Like what is something sweet he's said/ done then tweaked it. mostly in the fact that he'll get a straight answer and I'll be like no, go sit back down! when I really do need help... but still, I only have so much boyfriend experience. And plus, the whole 'mate' thing... puts it on a whole new level of serious. ooh subplot! ok, I'll stop stalling)
"Uh... sure, could you get out plates and everything? People can start getting some food, but I don't have too many pancakes done yet... maybe enough for half or so..." I said, turning back to my work. He went to fetch them in his staggeringly quiet step.
"So what do you think of how it all went? if you had to make your own assumption on it." he asked, setting out a stack of plates then getting handfuls of forks and knives.
"I have no idea. At times it was going fine, but at others... Plus if that isn't the entire Assembly, Then we'll have a whole new set of problems. I'm not trying to go around the question, but it seems too risky to make any assumption on what they think of us with so many dofferent factors. It doesn't feel safe. Especially since Ave said that they covered the enire spectrum. Gracie seemed to like us, Alex hated us, and Joselynn just wanted to forget about us pretty much. There's no way to tell." I said.
"I guess that's true. Are you worried?" he asked.
"I'm trying not to think about it. With everyone here that isn't too hard." I laughed. I could hear their antics just down the hallway.
"Yeah. I don't think that you have anything to worry about. They seemed to like you."
"Yeah but I have you to worry about. And everyone else. And that's not going to stop me from worrying about myself. But we have time before another one of those meetings. Definitely. Everyone needs time to cool off and then they have to get ready and try to peacefully organize another. "
"You're all up early." Quill and Brahm said, coming into the kitchen and dining area.
"Yep." I said, smiling.
"You, Simon, and Blake got off clean." Quill said to his son, clapping him on the back.
"Not quite. They sicked Xavier on us." Derek replied, partially (thank GOD) lifting up his shirt.
"That'd be the smart thing to do. Sneaking up on this guy-"
"Doesn't work. We've learned that." I finished for him. "Could you go get everyone? I have enough for all of us and will hopefully have enough for seconds soon." I said, bringing over the food I had ready.
The rest of the morning went by smoothly. The guys didn't stay long, they decided it was probably smarter to go get the ink off their faces. It wouldn't be easy. Hopefully they took the hand sanitizer advice to heart otherwise we probably wouldn't see them for the rest of the day. Quill and Brahm follwed them all out, claiming to go help the guys wash off. I knew better than to expect that. The other adults had come up and ate, talked with us a little bit, laughed at our prank, and told us what they had planned for the day. Because god forbid we sit and do nothing. We had too much to worry about. They said we'd be going on the short hike down to the lake, where we'd be practicing one- on- one together. That sounded interesting. And fun. We hadn't done any practice, and now that I thought about it, it sounded like a good idea. The supernatural world, well, maybe half of it, had it out for us. And the crazy ones, if they found out where we were, would for sure come after us. It was probably best to get ready in case anybody decided to take matters into their own incapable hands.
When breakfast was done and the dishes were leaned and put away, all of us girls hung out while we waited for the guys to be finished cleaning up. That would take more than a little time. We started guessing about what they'd do to get us back, and what we thought of what Xavier had done to everyone. They all agreed that Derek's was the best. And I hated that. Erin was already trying to plan another prank, even when we didn't know what they'd be doing to us. She was alone in her planning though.
After almost an hour of talking we were all together again, and ready to go down to the lake for practice, I had doubts that a lot of practice would take place, maybe only half the time would actually be devoted to it, and the rest would for sure be messing around in the lake. I knew it. The hike only took about a half hour to come to the lake which had a small long beach of pebble sand and slow lapping shoreline waters. Kit had all of us line up and we divided ourselves into pairs. That was easy enough. But Parker, Daniel, and Rae were left to themselves since we had an odd number. And one- on- one meant obvious pairings. Kit said that we'd have about a half hour or so to start and everything, lay down our own ground rules, then they'd be coming around to check on us.
We spread out along the beach, for me and Derek we were closer to the trees (dead things ahppen to be S-L-O-W). He looked down at me, and seemed a little nervous. I was already searching for anything and everything I could find to help me. I reached and pulled out my pocket knife, but didn't open it up. If anything the hilt would be enough to poke him with. I noticed things already coming to my call, feeling spirits move towards their bodies and jump inside. I noticed Derek's eyes glance towards the trees. He must have heard some rustling. Which would be smart. I had no idea how many I had summoned, I just knew that things were on their way.
"Just let me know if I'm hurting you." he said, getting ready. I could tell he was gearing up to change. Would attacking in the middle of that be a bad idea? Or would it be smart and taking advantage of the situation at hand?
"Yeah. Of course." I smiled sweetly at him. I was already planning. He was crouching down, starting to change. He looked pained, but it was a familiar- but- still- sucks pain. I was awed at how quickly he became used to the entire thing.
He was halfway through changing and I jumped onto his back. He seemed surprised but continued. I knew I wasn't heavy enough to affect a single thing for him. I locked my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, to guarantee some time for my backup to get here. He couldn't do anything with me strapped on his back. And I didn't think he'd be able to stop midchange and go back willingly anymore, it was one way, then go back. Either way, I had bought myself some time. he tried fighting me off his back, but I held on tight. There was not a chance i was letting go until he removed me with his own hands or my animals had arrived (at least hopefully they were animals. I didn't want to discover anybody).
Finally I saw corpses coming from the undergrowth. I saw squirrels, chipmunks (not entirely sure what the difference is) some larger cats, and a few birds. The stood silently waiting for me, and I noticed Derek's head turn slightly to give me a look. It was priceless. All I could get from it was 'you wouldn't dare.' He was now a full wolf, and tried running to knock me off. It didn't work too well.
"Pin down the wolf!" I snapped, calling to the cats. They pounced.
Derek let out a quick shrieking bark as they went down on him, and I jumped off his back just before they landed. He whimpered and gave a low growl, partly out of frustration and partly in an almost laughing sound. He rolled a little tyring to fight the cat's grasp. I took off into the woods. I let the rest of the animals I'd called go, and put as much distance as I could between me and him. Eventually I stopped and crouched behind a bush, breathing hard. I knew he'd hear me, smell me, but I had a few moments. I thought about what he'd do. He wouldn't bite me. He wouldn't even try scratching me. He would do everything in his power to get me pinned. And that was about it. I listened carefully, breathing as quiet as I could, waiting to call for help. I could feel corpses around me. I was waiting. He'd be here soon. I knew it. I peeked through the leaves, expecting to see him standing there. He wasn't. I looked around for any trace of him. I had let the cats go, he should have been in here on a mad search. I fell back from my knees into a crouch, and took a slow silent deep breath. I waited longer. Still nothing. Suddenly I was grabbed from behind around the waist, hoisted up into the air, and thrown over someone's shoulder. Derek. He carried me away, and I beat on his back to try and get free. It didn't work, of course.
"You didn't really think that that entire thing would work, did you?" he asked me.
"Oh shut up." I said, hitting him again. He pretended to drop me, and I shrieked. He carried me like that for a few minutes, until he finally flipped me back over easily and laid me on the ground, pinning me there. He gave me a smug little smile.
"I win." he told me.
"Shut up." I wasn't happy with this. I could have had that. "I could still get out of this, you know. I got away from Ramon."
"You wouldn't kick me. I know you wouldn't." he said.
"Well you changed into a wolf even though you would never bite or scratch me. Or would you?" I asked teasingly. "Maybe I'll bite you!"
"No you wouldn't." he laughed, looking down at me. Just to spite him, I reached up and chomped on his ear. "...Is this supposed to hurt?"
I let go for a second. "I don't know. Does it?" I asked, leaning back to meet his eyes.
"No. It... feels good." He said, looking back into my eyes. (A/N: idk, lucas says it feels good. and I can chew on his sleeve or his ear. But one's beneficial to both of us so... XD ur probly thinking TMI right now, huh?)
"Ok. You want me to continue?"
"Yeah." he said, leaning down towards me so I could reach better. I did and went and bit his ear again. Maybe it was a wolf thing? (A/N: RAYRAY YOU SAID CHLEREK THIS IS CHLEREK LEMME KNOW, KK?)
He really did like it. He came closer to make it easier for me to reach, and eventually let go of my wrists. They'd probably be just slightly bruised by tomorrow. Maybe. I let my hands roll up over his chest- ok, Xavier was very right- and went up to tie themselves in his hair. He liked that too. Eventually he pulled me back and pushed his lips firmly against mine. He moved me on top of him, because he would have otherwise completely crushed me. He pressed the full length of my body against him, his arms tight around me. A small fragment of worry slithered into my mind, but I crunched it back. I was alone in the woods with Derek. This was never going to happen again. And even if anyone was coming, he'd hear them. We were completely safe to do what we wanted. I guarantee if we weren't laying in dirt we'd want to do more. But for now this was good. My head spun with ecstasy as he pressed me even closer to him. I felt his hands siding, and I jumped a little, and they stopped. He had the thought to be... kind of a gentleman at least and stop. I couldn't fight the smile that worked its way onto my busy lips. Terrible timing.
He pulled away since he couldn't kiss me anymore and smiled up at me for a change. He laughed a little and kissed me again, his hands again moving.
"Ok?" he asked quietly, pausing.
"Uh..." I said, trying to make a decision. I didn't have that kind of time right now, or the clarity. His hands moved back up to the small of my back.
"I'll just play it safe for now." he said as he pulled me back down into another kiss.
I lost track of time. I was completely gone. It was amazing, and I couldn't believe we'd put off being alone together for this long. His breathing was fast and warm on my face, his hands gentle holding me in our kiss. I jumped at a voice.
"Break it up lovebirds, they're looking for you and coming close!" I turned to see Xavier manically pointing and rushing us into getting into more... appropriate positions.
I told him what happened, and he nodded. He could hear them coming. I quickly summoned something close to me, and some squirrels jumped to my rescue. I then pinned him down, my knees on his thighs and my hands holding his elbows, and the squirrels jumped on him in random places. I thanked God that I was out of breath and looked like I'd been working and I was tussled. He gave me an evil look and I just smiled down at him. Kit, Simon, Tori, Dulcie, Brahm, Quill, and Taryn were walking up to us a few seconds later.
"How on earth did you guys end up all the way out here?" Kit asked.
"I needed backup and it was mostly over here." I said, looking to the squirrels.
"And she's portable." Derek added. I shot him a look.
"So, Chloe, another werewolf taken down? Maybe he should be scared?" Tori said, stepping over to us and pulling me up.
"No. He was going easy on me. I know that if we would actually hurt each other it probably wouldn't have been as long. There's only so much we could do." I said, getting up off of him. I offered him my hand to help him up. He took it.
"Well, you guys need to come back now." Quill said. He gave his son a quick look. I couldn't read it. Derek seemed to though.
"We're hoping to go into practice by race. That's probably better for most of you." Dulcie said.
"If we can pry you all off each other, we can." Brahm said quietly. Kit tried not to smile and failed. The others just laughed. I felt my face start heating up. "But at least you guys were serious about it."
They left, and for the first time in a while it was just me, Derek, Simon, and Tori again. And they both gave us the exact same knowing look. I felt my face heat up and I turned and buried it in Derek's chest. His arms drew around me slowly and held me close. My pulse picked up again. Already. Seriously? I mean it made sense... I wasn't going to argue, being close was hard to manage at this moment. And yet here I was. Here he was...
"So, tell us again how Chloe pinned you down?" Simon asked.
"She used girl tactics, I know it!" Tori said, jumping on me. "It's ok, that's how I beat Blake. It works every time!"
"What'd you do with Blake?" Simon asked.
"Why do you care?" she snapped.
"I deserve to know, what if I have to beat the crap out of him?"
"You never will, because I'll take care of that myself. Why do you think you'd have to?"
"Because it's my job. I'm the brother."
"Little brother!"
"So? A couple months who cares!"
"Guys! Break it up! Like Simon and Erin weren't up to something either, ok?" Derek said, breaking up the fight. "I can smell it on you, so don't even try." he said to Simon's upcoming comment.
"Like you guys weren't doing shit." He muttered. Again my face heated up.
"She'll tell me all about it later, right, Chlo?" Tori said, grabbing my arm.
"Uh... I'm impartial." I said, unsure of what to say.
"How can you be impartial in something like that?" Simon asked.
"Does it matter? She'll crack. Just give her time. Come on, we stil haven't found Nate or Hallie yet." Tori said, laughing. "You know what that means!"
"Xavier's gonna throw a coniption fit!" I laughed.
"Shut up I hear something!" Derek hissed. "They're over here. And they definitely aren't practicing." I couldn't fight the smile.
We kept walking and eventually found them leaning on a tree, talking, laughing, and for the most part, making out. They looked happy. Excited. Not like they wanted to be interrupted.
"You'll be lucky if we don't get Xavier." Tori said. They jumped and turned to face us. They didn't seem too suprised.
"I won't get Xavier." I said. "He put me through hell, I'd hate to see what he'd do to you."
"Thanks. So... this is embarrassing." Hallie said, turning and leaning on Nate.
"Don't worry we walked in on Chloe and Derek too." Simon said. Derek hit him. "Ow!"
They didn't seem surprised at all. "Come on. Dad wants us back on the beach. We'll be practicing by race, ok?" Derek said. We all turned and left, Nate's arm on Hallie's waist, and Derek's hand tight around mine.
"Do you really think he's going to have us practice? After this last failure?" Nate asked.
"Yeah. He'll keep a better eye on all of us. I know it." Simon said.
"He didn't seem too happy with the fact that no one really did anything." I said.
"Yeah that's too bad." Tori said, laughing.
We continued talking until we reached the beach. We saw everyone separated on the beach by race. Derek gave me a quick kiss and went over to stand with Quill and Jillian. I already missed his hand on mine. This practice was serious and tiring, pushing the limits of what I could do. Xavier was feeling evil. By the time everyone was done it was getting dark. We had spent the entire day there. We started hiking back to the hall to see what we could find for dinner. We all ate and then said our goodnights. Hiking down to the cabins Derek pulled me aside.
"I didn't do anything wrong today, right?" he asked quietly.
"No. Why?" I replied, smiling. I reached up and wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
"Just making sure. If I made you uncomfortable at all..."
"No. I... liked it." I said, looking down. He chuckled.
"Good. Hopefully we can find more time for it to be just us." he whishpered, holding me closer.
"I'd like that." I yawned, and he laughed again. "I'm falling asleep right here even. I'm exhausted. Goodnight."
"Do you want me to walk you to your room?" he asked.
"Sure."
He did, making sure I didn't fall asleep walking and plummet down the side of the hill. At my door he kissed me gently then left me. I went back in and fell onto my bed, not even bothering to change, and fell asleep.
