Hey everyone....sorry for the cliff hanger, it was a long night and I needed to end it somewhere. I hope you all like this chapter. =3
Chloe PoV
I looked at Addison, and I started to hyperventilate. She wasn't supposed to change at this age. Derek wasn't even supposed to be changing at his age. Derek walked over to her, and patted her head.
"Can you change back? Your makings Chloe hyperventilate." The wolf bowed its head, and concentrated. Then a couple minutes later, it changed back into Addison. She ran over to me and told me that she was just shape shifting, and that everyone has nothing to worry about. I sighed and walked over to Derek. He took my hand and Fae, picked up Addison. She struggled to get free; Fae frowned and put her down.
"Let's go and discuss our plans for tomorrow, so we know what we have to do." Andrew said calmly. I walked over to the living room, and sat beside Derek. Addison sped after us and sat in between me and Derek. I smiled, and she giggled. We had a little conversation, talking about shape shifting, and werewolves'. I smiled at everything she said. She was so smart for someone her age. I looked up to see Derek looking at me. I blushed and he caressed my cheek, and smiled. He stopped his hand at my chin, and I put my hand on his. He lifted it up and kissed it. I had forgotten about Addison, until she spoke.
"Ewwwieee, Derek and Chloe kissed." She made a funny face, and watched Fae walk in.
"I know what you mean" Fae said. Derek growled and I gave him the 'look.'
"Wow Derek, you're so well trained. Like a dog." That was the last straw. He walked over to her. Alec walked in and looked at both of them. It was the first time I had seen him since this morning. He seemed pretty upset. Addison looked at him and he smiled.
"Hey you" he said. He sounded so calm and carefree, not upset like he had been this morning.
"Hello Alee"
He smirked "What did I say about calling me that?"
She smiled, her super star smile, and curled up next to me. Luna walked in, and boy did she look pissed. I hadn't seen her for days, and I knew her and Tori where doing something. They both had disappeared into their rooms.
Derek hadn't killed Fae yet, so he walked back over to me, and sat down. Addison looked at him and smiled.
Stephan and Kylie walked in, and sat on the love seat across from me, Derek and Addison. Zoey and Andrew walked in, and sat on the other chairs. Tori walked in last and shut the French doors. She sat on the floor beside Luna. Andrew got up and started to talk. We talked for about 3 hours, and Addison was getting antsy. She leaned onto Derek, and started to slowly fall asleep. We talked about our plans that would start the next day. Zoey was going to go in looking like a new Edison group member. She would eventually shape shift into doctor Davidoff, get the keys and make a mental map of the whole estate. Then she would copy the keys, and bring them to us. We would have to be careful. Derek and I would have to take care of Addison the whole day, but that didn't seem to be hard. The meeting went on and on, and we didn't finish until late. I couldn't believe it when Derek was able to carry Addison all the way upstairs, and into the room that her and her mom, Zoey, shared, without waking her up.
He put her down on the bed, and walked out to the unlighted hallway to meet me. He grabbed me around the waist, and I put my hands around his neck. There was a lot of stress and I knew it would affect Derek the most. His brother was gone, and I was worried on top of that, so Derek thought it was his job to solve it. He needed a break.
He leaned down to kiss me, and I kissed him back. I put my hands in his hair, and my heart raced. He made his way down my neck, and I felt my face go red. He pulled away and put his face close to me.
"Everyone is coming to bed soon, and my bedroom is being used for Stephan and Kylie. So, I'm sleeping in your room." I nodded and we walked into the room we would be sharing. I grabbed my pj's and ran to the bathroom. I walked in and stripped off my clothes. I looked in the mirror and looked myself over, and ran back to Derek. I jumped onto the bed. I was still standing up and Derek grabbed my foot. I squealed, a very unattractive squeal, and fell back onto the bed. My head landed on the pillow and Derek pulled me to him. I kissed him and I heard a knock at the door. We looked over and saw Addison. She walked in and came over to Derek.
"I can't sleep Derek, it's too dark. Can I sleep in here with you?" she sounded like she was going to cry and I felt her sorrow. Her eyes where squinted, and her face was pale. Her green eyes shone in the dark. I leaned over Derek so I could see her. It was pitch black other then the small light coming in from the door, and all I could see was the one half of her face.
"Addie, do we have to do this right now, can't you go get your mom?" Derek said. "I'm spending some time with Chloe right now."
"But Derek, please, I need a nightlight." She said in her cute little voice.
Derek sighed and got up from the bed, and I sat up. "I'll be right back" he said as he strode out of the room with Addie.
I lay awake in the bed, and thought about what Simon would say when he saw me and Derek, together. Would he be upset, or take it like a man? I laughed at myself and Derek walked in. He brushed his hair out of his face and walked toward me.
"What's so funny?" he asked as he sat down beside me. I curled up beside him, and explained.
"And that's funny how?" he asked
"I don't know... I found it funny" I sighed. I leaned back toward Derek. He put his hands around my waist and I snuggled closer. I was about half asleep when I heard Derek get up.
"Derek, where are you going?" I rolled over, but felt something there. I moved my hand down the body. It appeared to be Derek's, but I was sure I got up.
"Chloe" I heard my name. The voice sounded familiar. I got up, trying to make sure that I wouldn't wake Derek.
I followed the noise into the hall, and past Faes room.
"Chloe it's me, you don't need to be spooked." I remembered the voice
"LIZ!" I screeched. I hadn't noticed how loud I was until Liz tried to cover my mouth and went right through me.
"Hey, I'm not going to stay long because I have to go see Nana, but I just wanted to see how you where... how's Simon? And Derek? And everyone?"
I explained that me and Derek where together and that Simon was being held captive by Edison group. She was very surprised. She said good bye, and she was going to come again. She waved and disappeared.
Derek rounded the corner, hair all messy and eyes squinting, trying to adjust to the light. I walked over to him and put my arms around his neck.
"Sorry I gave to such a scare," I said I leaned in, and he put his face close to me, but he didn't kiss me. "I was talking to Liz. I know you worry about me, and I didn't mean to, really. I don't want you to have any more stress. I'm sorry"
"Chloe stop apologising. It's fine, you know how I am. You know how the wolf side of me is. I always have to protect you, its second nature." He smiled and kissed me. He picked me up like a princess, and brought me to the bed without breaking the kiss. He pulled away and pulled me close.
"I love you Chloe" he said as he whispered into my ear.
"And I love you too, Derek." I smiled, and blushed. I know he couldn't see it, but I knew he could hear my heart. I soon fell asleep in Derek's arms and I knew I would be there forever.
The rush of the people downstairs brought a new feeling to the morning atmosphere. Addison was still sleeping when her mom rushed out the door. Fae, Luna, Tori and Kylie where all going shopping with Stephan, Alec tagged along only because he was Lunas' bodyguard Andrew just disappeared into the study.
I was eating breakfast, when Derek walked in.
"Hey Der- Omigod! Do you have a fever?!" I rushed over to him, my face full of worry. His face was bright red, and he had a fever. I sat him on my chair and ran over to the refrigerator and pulled out two icepacks. Derek had his shirt off, and I saw he had a big scratch that ran from his left shoulder to about mid stomach. I pulled a chair in front of him. I was in mid-freak out mode, when I remembered the fight with the Simon imposter. I sighed and out my head in between my hands. He brushed my hair out of my face and pulled my face up.
"Chloe I'm a big boy. I can take care of myself." He smiled, and leaned into kiss me. We kissed until, we heard a little voice.
"Hey Derek" she said. "I'm hungry…"
Derek sighed and walked over to her and picked her up. He dropped the ice packs on the ground. He sat her on the counter, and handed her a bowl and cereal.
She giggled and gulped it up.
We had to wait for the whole day, and I knew that there would be trouble. But what I was surprised about the most was when Simon walked through the door...
I looked at the door and saw, Simon and Zoey, I stared.
"Simon?!" I squealed. Derek was upstairs and I screamed for him to come down. Derek ran down, shirtless, and was franticly looking to see what might possibly hurt me. Then he saw Simon. He walked down the stairs, and went to Zoey.
"I-is that actually him?"
"Yes." She smiled and Simon spoke.
"Hey, what's up bro? It's good to be home." He smiled and walked over to me. He took my hands. Derek was talking to Zoey and didn't notice. Until Simon said "I missed you Chloe, I really did."
I blushed and Derek walked over. He walked in front of Simon. I moved Derek over and went beside him.
"Derek, its Simon, it's your brother. What's he going to do? Eat me?"
Simon sputtered a laugh, and I saw Derek smile.
"Did Derek just…smile?" Simon said astonished
"Yeah, he smiles a lot. You have missed out on so much. How in hell did you manage to get out?!"
"I'll tell you in a sec. You answer my questions first. What do you mean by "you have missed a lot?" We lead Simon over to the couch and we sat down. Derek put his arm around me, and I leaned in. I've never felt so safe. I took a deep breath and took him in. Simon sat on the chair and looked at us.
"You two are…" he stopped and looked at me.
"Guess I'm too late…" he smiled a thin smile then listened as the door opened.
"Der, guess what I got for us" she sang. Derek rolled his eyes at the sound of her voice, and Simons' already upset face turned to anger. She stepped into the room, and sat on the ledge beside Derek. Derek looked at me and he kissed my head. He smiled.
"Fae, what bull shit are you trying to pull?" Derek's face was still red from the fever. Simon rolled his eyes, and looked at me. Fae glanced at me and smiled brilliantly at Derek.
"Aww Der, your blushing!" she said caressing his cheek.
"No, he has a fever. Now leave him alone. He doesn't need any more stress." I said it hoping my voice wouldn't shake.
"Der., will you help me change?" she said, putting a seductive look on her face.
"So Simon," Derek said, forgetting the anxious Fae. "How did you get out?"
He explained that he had been practicing magic, to get out. He practiced a binding and forgetting spell. I'm sure they weren't that powerful, but at least they where affective. He had seen Rae living it up in the place. How much it seemed like she didn't want to leave. How we should just leave her there. Plus that WAS her father. My aunt Lauren was being held there, and she looked uncomfortable. We told him about everything here, Derek and me, Simon's impostor and Tori and Luna's behaviour.
Fae was still sitting there, dripping over Derek. I rolled my eyes and Simon laughed.
"Dude, you're a chick magnet with your shirt off. Looks like Chloe is getting annoyed." he smiled and Derek rolled his eyes. I snuggled closer. Derek grabbed my hand, and Simon looked sad. Fae was all over Derek and I was ready to punch her out. God, I couldn't stand her.
I closed my eyes, ready to sleep, when we heard little feet tromping down the stairs.
"Mommy? She said peaking in to the room.
"Simon!" Addison squealed running over to him. He smiled and gave her a hug and a high five.
"Shh," she said in a whisper. "Chloe is sleeping." I felt Derek rest his head on mine, and I moved closer. It was cold and Derek was warm. I remembered he had a fever, so I tried to get as close to him as I could. I knew Derek was going to change soon, so I had to be ready. I heard everyone come in the room, and Derek held me tight. I heard the click of Fae's heels, click, click, click away. Someone came to sit beside me, I think it was Simon. It was good to have him around again. Now, about their dad.
I heard little bits and pieces of the conversation, which took place. Every time Derek talked, I could hear it. I smiled at the thought. Derek was full of love, and I think…I loved him. I slowly fell asleep, and I knew that this is where I belonged. In Derek's arms. Forever.
