Chpt 7

Chloe POV

I herd voices all around me.

I started to make my way out of my sleep state and a lot of the things around started to become a little bit clearer. My muscles were sore from last night and my head was pounding.

"How is she?" I knew that voice, but I don't remember were from. The bedding underneath me dipped down as a presents sat next to me. "No….she hasn't as much as fluttered an eyelash. She just needs time to heal" what. Is. Going. On.

"Derek, it's been three days already" wow, what? THREE DAYS!

I forgot about there conversation and concentrated more on trying to wake up. I started off with my fingers first, trying to wiggle them slightly or even trying to open my eyes but nothing worked. The energy it took for me to try and move really took it out of me, making me succumb back to the darkness, yet again.

I opened my eyes.

The ceiling above me was white with a few dark stains here and there. The walls were a plain grey; it held a lot of band posters from sleeping with sirens, 1975 and also falling in reverse.

I sat up slowly and tried to get a grasp of were I was as I didn't recognize the location. As I stood up and looked around I could tell that the bedroom belonged to a dude. I went over and checked the door. Unlocked. I slid out and the first thing that I herd was a slight commotion in the kitchen downstairs.

I slowly made my way down the steps, trying not to make a sound and headed for the kitchen. A stayed behind the door but I was able to see two familiar faces sitting at the table talking.

Kit and Derek.

"What are we gonna do? Her body seems to not be healing, and we can't just sit here and do nothing" trust Derek to get straight to the point.

"Look Derek, she just needs time. That might have been her first change, and her body needs to process it" im not helpless thank you, they just don't get it.

Before they could say anything else I stepped out from behind the door and crossed my arms in front of my chest.

"im not helpless" they both turned to me with a look of shock on there face "and that wasn't my first change, in fact that was the third time I have shifted…..it just took a lot out of me, that's all" I rubbed the back of my neck with the palm of my hand while kit stood up from his chair and pulled a second one out next to Derek.

"Hello Chloe, how have you been? Would you like a drink?" I gave him a nod before sitting down and I graced him with a small smile "yes please. Err… what day is it? Its just that I herd you say that I had been out for a few days, and the last thing I remember it was a Friday"

Kit walked over to the kettle, filled it up turned it on. "It's just gone Monday afternoon, so you were out for a few days, but don't worry I have already notified the school and told them you were ill". After grabbing a cup from the top cupboard he came back to his seat and sat down again. I gave him a shy smirk and started to rub my neck again "I guess you know what I am now huh?" both Derek and kit gave a small smirk "if the screaming and the hair growth wasn't an indication, I don't know what was" a laughed.

After sitting in silence for a few minutes with the noise of the kettle in the background, I could tell that there was something that kit needed to say. I could also tell from the look on his face that he had left something unsaid.

I swiveled my chair in his direction and raised my eyebrow at him. He gave a chuckle "I can never get anything passed you and Derek, can I?" I crossed my arms over my chest.

He gave a small sigh, I herd Derek also move in his direction, and knowing Derek he probably had on the same bored expression as he always did.

Kit raised his arms up at me in surrender and laughed again "okay, okay…..it's just that you and Derek didn't know what you were until you told each other, but you can smell other supernatural's. I was just wondering why" that's what he wanted to know?

I looked over at Derek and he just shrugged his shoulder as me "I was actually wondering that my self"

I uncrossed my arms and looked kit dead in the eyes "the reason we didn't know, was because it's a type of defense mechanism. Basically when werewolf's were being hunted down for there land and their pack, our ancestor created there own defense against others, so they could hide there scent from others using herbs and other potions created by some witches." I could tell that this confused bath Derek and kit "well witches and werewolf created a sort of alliance, the werewolf's wouldn't hunt the witches or there offspring if they would help them with there problems, so that's what they did" I gave a huff and sat down more into the chair "I guess when they used the herbs so much, there bodies just became so accustomed to it that it went down through the generations until it finally came down to us" kit handed me my cup of tea and I gave a attentive sip before taking any more questions.

"I kinda could tell there was something with you guys when I first met you, but I couldn't exactly just blurt out a 'hey guys, I was just wondering are any of you supernatural's?' it wouldn't be pretty" Derek gave a small huff and looked at me with his eye brows bunched together, wow, those eyes are so green, oh and did I mention he is topples with only jogging bottoms on and muscles that look like he has spent a fair amount of time in a gym. Down girl.

I quickly shook my head of any thoughts that I had and tried to listen to the rest of the conversation at hand. "Huh?" I looked at Derek again "I said that there is only one thing that still needs to be cleared" well don't make it easy will you.

"And what would that be, Derek?" "Your half werewolf and half something else. What are you?" I smirked at him "im a hybrid, like I told you. The other part your gonna have to work for" I know It sounded childish, but I just love riling him up like that. But by the looks of it, it seemed that this was the first kit had herd of this "what do you mean you're a hybrid, Derek why didn't you tell me? Not quite the response I was looking for but hey, don't mind me.

I looked over at the clock and saw that it was nearly three in the afternoon, school was almost out. I turned to kit and said "well I better go" I stood up from my chair and turned towards kit and Derek "thank you, for taking care of me. You didn't have to but hank you anyway" I went over to kit and gave him a gentle hug, which he returned just as eager. I stood back and took a step towards Derek, what should I do, I can't just hug him, could I? Just give him a hand shake, it works just the same.

I raised my hand up towards him and waited for him to make the next move, he placed his big hand in my small one, practically engolfing it. What append next shocked me, after a few shakes of my hand and a fresh smirk on his face; he pulled my forward into a bear hug.

I just stood frozen for a few seconds, waiting for my body to catch up to my brain; once it did I hugged him back with just as much strength as him. It was actually nice to hug someone, knowing you wont hurt them no matter how hard you hug them and that they can do just the same. I could smell his scent and my senses exploded slightly as I took him in.

I don't know how long we stood there in an embrace, but I suddenly herd a 'cough' from behind us and I stepped back and looked over my shoulder towards kit. He had one of his eye brows raised and his arms crossed leaning against the door frame.

"was you gonna say thank you and go, or just stand there and hug each other until you get cramp for standing too long?" and I do believe it was then that I had blushed for the first time in a long time.

I stepped away from Derek's warm arms and started to back out of the room finally, without looking at Derek again. "Bye, and thanks again"

"Oh, Chloe?" I turned around to kit "aaww, do you need a long hug?" he gave a laugh at my comment. I looked over towards Derek's face to see he had a slight scowl across his lips, what's his problem? Hum..maybe his jealous? Jealous of what, exactly?

"Well, what I was going to ask was, would you and your aunt like to come round to dinner Thursday night, we could catch-up on what we know so everyone is in the loop"

I gave him a smile "yeah, we will do that. Well I will see you Thursday"

And without looking back at Derek and his wired mood swings, I went home.
