Chapter 5

Human?

I woke to the sound of pots banging. I sat up, well as much as the large comforter draped over me would allow. I took a quick glance at my surrounding, trying to get at least a flick of a memory from last night, but nothing came. That's when I noticed I didn't have any clothes on. Even though no one was in the room I still blushed hard and pulled the blankets around me tight. I looked around a bit better, I couldn't see past the blinding light coming from the windows very well but my eyes adjusted after a second. The first thing that caught my eye was the pile of blankets on the other couch across the room.

"What the heck is going on?" I whispered as silently as possible to myself.

"Did you sleep well? You know you could have slept in a bed." I heard a voice from the kitchen ask, making me jump. I completely forgot that I heard someone in there. God, what is with me?

"Fine" A voice replied gruffly.

"Really, you sound upset about something Derek." Yet another voice replied.

"Like you care" The gruff voice replied.

For a second all I could hear was silverware clinking. What's going on in there?

How do I get to the hallway without them seeing me without any clothes on? The way the rooms connect is kind of stupid you have to go through the kitchen to get to the hallway with bedrooms. But there was the basement; Sam had a door to get to the library from his room. The basement door was right next to the room I was in, but I'd still have to be quiet and stealthy because you could see the basement door from the kitchen if you're sitting in the right place. I glanced behind me at the door. Of course with my luck the door was closed and with a longer look, locked. I growled quietly to myself, than stood up silently and wrapped the blankets around me again, tighter this time with it hanging over my head. I walked slowly and quietly to the hallway, than stuck my head down the hallway. Immediately someone caught my gaze.

Crap

Derek's eyes widened when he saw me. I pulled one hand out of my blanket, motioning for him to be quiet. He nodded discreetly and glanced away as I crept across the short length of laminate flooring to the door.

I unlocked the door as quietly as possible than opened it. Of course it had to squeak loud enough to be heard down the street. I whipped my head down the hall to the kitchen, Derek was looking at me from the corner of his eyes. Motioning as inconspicuously as possible for me to keep going, I mouthed thanks than continued down the stairs closing the door more quietly this time. Grrrrr, stupid door!

The basements lights were off but I could see fine, I tip-toed down the stairs and flicked on the light at the bottom. Werewolves might have night-vision, but they need some kind of light source to see by. It's been awhile since I went down to the basement but nothing has changed since I was down here last. I skipped the warm looking bean bag chairs and coffee maker and went straight to the library like area of the basement.

The door up to Sam's room was hidden behind a bookcase. I always thought it sounded like an old Scobby-Doo episode when they still made the fun short ones with GOOD plot's. I looked for the bookcase with all the 'based of video game' books. I found one of the books off place in another case, the Halo one with the picture of a guy with no armor on. Than put it back in its correct position next to the other Halo books. I went behind that case and started pushing it out just enough for me to get through. Sure enough the door was there I opened it than went inside pulling the book case back into place.

Why didn't Sam put a flashlight or something in here!?

The stair case was pitch black but thank God it was just a straight passage. I climbed the stairs slowly and carefully, hoping I wouldn't trip and fall into a solidly blocked door.

How long is this staircase anyway?

I got my answer almost immediately when I smacked, face first into a door, I felt for the doorknob than opened up the door rubbing my nose; moaning. I blinked hard since that hit had blurred my vision, I nearly screamed when I saw Simon's sleeping form on the bed. I slapped my free hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming. He was still sleeping, I was fine, than I turned toward the door and tip-toed over to it. When I was out in the hallway I bolted for my room at the end of the corridor. I opened the door and stepped into my room, taking in the relaxing scent of home. The smell of frosted-pumpkin candles and the woods always made me relax.

I got dressed than fell back onto my bed. Letting out a loud sigh, as if I was holding my breath the entire time. I stared at my white ceiling and slid off my bed, the blanket sliding off with me. Now I had to figure out what happened.

How the HELL am I HUMAN!?!?!?!?!?!

I woke up like this! Did Grace actually change me while I was sleeping? Was it even possible to change from wolf to human when you're completely shut down? Maybe it was like what happen-

My thought was cut short when there was a knock at my door. I stood up and walked over to the door, opening it just a crack and poking my head through. Derek stood outside, confusion saturating his face.

"How… What happened?" He whispered.

I leaned out the door and glanced down the hall than grabbed his shirt and pulled him in when it was clear. I closed the door behind him and locked it. I turned to face him

"I really don't know"I said, shaking my head and sliding down the door. Derek sat down on my bed, watching me like when we were in Lyle house. I glanced away.

"Please don't look at me like that; it reminds me of the escape." I whined.

I saw Derek whip his head back to face the front of the room.

"I'm sorry I don't mean it like its you, it's just the way you looked at me," I said, crawling over to sit next to him on the bed. I was even confused by what I just said.

"Kay." He said, still looking away.

I fell backwards onto the bed so I was lying down. Derek glanced back at me than turned to face the front again.

"I thought you said you can't change back until spring, I thought you didn't even have a human brain until spring!" Derek said.

"I know, it's weird" I said, "I don't know how it works… But hey at least I'm not a wolf!" I said.

"Yeah and Happy Birthday" Derek mumbled.

"Huh?"

He looked back at me, "It's your Birthday today."

"Oh… My…God I forgot my own Birthday!" I said, widening my eyes at the ceiling.

Derek must have still been looking at me because he laughed. I looked down at him; he was shaking his head with a small smile on his face. I bolted up.

"You're smiling!" I said.

He arched his eyebrows at me.

"You never smile!" I said.

He just grunted and stood up, no trace of that smile on his face anymore. My shoulders slumped and I sighed.

"What do you think happened?" I asked him.

"I don't know, you would know more than me about this; you're the one who's actually one of these weird werewolves." He said, not looking at me.

"Yeah, well I really have no idea." I replied with a small laugh. The quiet stretched for maybe about 2 minutes as we thought about what could have happened…Well I guess I was.

"Did you see that wolf in the window last night?" Derek asked, his voice was almost silent his eyes lost in thought.

"Yeah, at least I think I did I can't remember too much from last night."

"It was the one who bit you, that's what Grace said." He said, a little louder this time and finally looking back at me.

"Yeah, I do slightly remember seeing a white wolf on the porch and it sure as hell wasn't Olivia. She is way to shy to go on the porch" I said, recalling a little bit from being outside.

Derek grunted than looked out the window. I followed his gaze to the bright fuse of fresh snow and morning sunlight. We both starred off into distance for a while, not knowing what to say, but for some reason it felt like Derek was mad at me for some reason.

After what felt like an hour, but was only 5 minutes according to my clock I said, "While I should go back out there, maybe it was Grace that changed me. She said that she had an idea on how to change me back."

"Okay" Derek mumbled. I don't get it? Why was Derek acting like this, I would think he would be happy that I was human again.

When he turned toward the door I frowned, was he mad at me? What did I do?

(Derek's point of View)

Trust me here; I wasn't mad that Chloe was human again. I was beyond happy, it was nice to have her back; I thought she was gone for good there. But when she said that I never smile it reminded me of who I was, what I was. Yes, she was a werewolf now two but there was a big difference between us. It was like we were a completely different race of supernaturals. Forwarding the point that I was still wrong for her, I acted like a smart-alec a lot. I was a pain, even my Dad would agree to that. Maybe not in front of me but to Grace or Andrew or one of his friends for sure, and I just figured that out. He seems like a totally different person to me. I wondered if we were going to finally go home soon. I wanted to go back so bad.
