Hey guys thank you so much for your reviews I'm surprised to even have received any with the time that it has taking me to upload so I'm going to try and upload once a day, again thank you my lovelies ;)

Disclaimer I don't own the darkest powers.

Chloe.

We sat Eagerly waiting for Maya to come back inside but it took awhile. As soon as we heard her voice shouting we all sprung for the door.

"Maya please don't freak out!" A voice shouted.

As soon as we made it out the door Maya had her back to us as she was stepping away from this tall blonde girl.

I noticed Daniel froze, Corey and Sam cursed and Nicole...looked dam right shocked

"What?" Derek demanded.

"Are you ok Maya?" Simon asked.

"What?...how? This isn't possible!" Maya blurted.

"Maya...I'm so sorry." The blonde one apologized.

"We buried you!" Sam spat in a rush of anger.

"No you didn't." Serena shook her head.

Derek walked up to Maya as Daniel was rooted to the ground.

"You know her?" Derek asked Maya.

"Yes. Her name is Serena She died a few years ago in a lake. She drowned in front of me" Maya's throat ran thick.

"The sent clouds took me. They covered it up and made it look like I died. They wanted me away from you all. Only thing is I don't know how I was pulled under the water. But please believe me I couldn't come back I was forced against my will." Serena pleaded.

"But I'm here now. I'm back." Tears began to fill her eyes.

She took a step towards Maya Derek blocked the way.

"It's ok she's one of us."Maya whispered.

Serena suddenly threw herself at Maya putting her arms around her as Maya hugged her back.

"I can finally get my life back."Serena smiled as she looked back up at Daniel.

Maya let Serena go as she walked up to Daniel.

"I'm so sorry." She approached Daniel as he was still frozen.

"You don't need to say sorry." That was all he could say.

I noticed how Derek shot Maya a sympathetic look as he whispered something in her ear she nodded.

Serena hugged Daniel but this time it was a long intimate hug.

Derek walked back over to stand next to me.

"You know something." I asked but it was more of a statement.

"Yep. I will tell you later." Derek nodded.

The hug looked awkward from Daniels behalf.

"Should we go inside?"kit suggested.

We all headed back inside as I sat next to Simon and Nicole.

"So are you a supernatural then?" Simon broke the ice.

"Yes I'm an Xana which is also known as a Siren. "Serena was quick to answer.

"That's why you survived. "Kit guessed.

"What's an Xana?" Hayley questioned.

"I have the gift to breathe under water and I sing under the water as well." Serena explained.

"So kind of like a mermaid. "Sam guessed.

"Yes just without the big tail." Serena laughed as she smiled back at Daniel.

"So what are you all?" Serena asked.

"I'm a Benandanti." Daniel answered so stiffly and unwillingly.

"Whoa this must be awkward for you." Marco laughed.

"Why?" Daniel demanded with a sharp tone to his voice.

"Your in a room full of supernaturals. Your kind hunts all the other kinds." Marco laughed.

"Only the ones that are an evil kind and mainly demi demons." Kit answered for him.

"The kind that kills." Kit added.

"He has vibes of people he knows when something bad is about to happen." Maya cut in.

"So that's where all the strength came from? "Serena once again smiled at Daniel.

"Maya's a skin walker she can change into a big cougar." Daniel changed the topic.

"Wow. Seriously?" Serena looked all wide-eyed at Maya.

"That would explain the cat like features. You've gotten so beautiful Maya." Serena complemented her.

My chair suddenly rocketed back a little causing everyone's eyes to shoot towards me.

As I looked behind I saw Liz she pulled my chair back.

"We need to talk...somewhere where they can't hear you." Liz rushed.

"Chloe who was that?" Derek got out of his seat.

"It's ok its Liz give me a minuet I will be back. "I jumped to my feet as I could hear them explaining my gift.

"What's wrong?" I shut the door behind me then facing Liz.

"You need to be careful Sirens or Xana's are dangerous emotional people. Now there's three of them you have to be more careful. And tell kit about it." Liz suggested.

"Who's the other two?"

"Nicole and Hayley but its Nicole and Serena that is more dominant." Liz warned.

"Ok thank..." But I was cut off as she suddenly disappeared.

That was strange. When I got back to the others Simon was explaining his gift.

"Everything ok?"Kit asked me.

I nodded and sat down.

After that the introductions Rafe and Annie took a walk alone in the forest while Daniel Serena and Hayley seemed to be catching up.

"Hey, so what did Liz say? "Simon sat down next to me in living room.

I looked around quickly to see it was just me Derek Simon and Kit.

"She warned me about the Xana's Hayley Nicole and Serena. She said they could be dangerous. There emotional strong supernaturals" I tried to keep my tone quiet.

"No one goes alone with an Xana then." Simon rolled his eyes.

"So what do you know?" I reminded Derek.

"Maya broke it off with Rafe the other night." Derek shrugged.

"But we new that was bound to happen."Simon didn't seem interested.

"And I over heard a conversation between Corey and Daniel, Daniel obviously has something for Maya." Derek carried on.

"And we know that too." Simon laughed.

"Serena and Daniel where together before she ...kind of died."Derek added.

That's awkward.

"I've told them about Liam in the basement they won't go near him. "Kit came walking in.

"Where's Tori?" I remembered looking around.

"She's with Sam." Simon was quick to answer.

"That's new." I was surprised to hear that.

Derek looked up at the clock on the wall.

"Time to babysit." He huffed.

As he walked past he pulled a sock off Simons foot.

"What's that for?" Simon questioned.

"Something to shut him up. "Derek mumbled as Simon burst out laughing.

Then it was just me and Simon.

"You ok?...you've been quieter then normal." Simon lightly poked my shoulder as he sat closer to me.

"I'm ok. Just got a lot going on at the minuet. Everything's just stressful." I admitted.

"I can't sleep properly knowing he's down in the basement... I don't like the thought of Derek...or anyone else being stuck down there on their own." I continued.

"At least we know where he is and don't have to worry about another home invasion." Simon tried to ease but I flinched at the memory.

Simon moved closer to me this time putting an arm around me. I know he meant this in a comforting way, but I felt more uneasy and went stiff under his one arm hug.

"There's so many of us and only one of him I'm not going to let him get to you I promise."Simon tried to ease.

When I couldn't think of anything to say the relive was overwhelming when Maya walked In the room. She didn't look too happy.

"Hey." I smiled at her and patted the seat next to me.

Without hesitation she plonked her self next to me as Simon released my shoulder.

"How are things?" Simon asked politely.

"Yeah great." Maya lied.

"Maya, honestly you can talk to us." I tried to get it out of her.

"It's Daniel." Maya whispered.

"I'm going to leave you to it." Simon stood up.

"I think you've got this. I hope you feel better Maya." Simon gently squeezed Maya's shoulder as he walked out.

"Whatever you say stays between us." I promised her.

"This is going to sound selfish." Maya warned me.

"I won't judge"

"Ok. I can't tell you how glad I am To see Serena. Shocked... But glad. Before she died she was with Daniel. She really liked him but Daniel was about to break it off with her but then to us she drowned in the lake. I have feelings for Daniel and I know that now. I've always have done. He's always been there for me." Maya seemed relive to get it of her chest.

"And now Serena is back... She wants him back too and I don't know what's going to happen. "Maya threated

"When we met you, we all thought you and Daniel were together already. Everyone can see how he feels about you except you." I told her true-fully.

"I can't take the risk we've known each other since we were both five. If he doesn't feel the same way then I'm about to lose the most important person in my life." Maya stressed.

As soon as she realised what She had said it hit her then. She really did have strong feelings for him.

"Yeah I should probably tell him."Maya then added.

The rest of the night we and Maya stayed up talking until it got late we both said goodnight and went to bed. It was nice to talk to Maya the way I just did. It wasn't like talking to Tori or any of the others we could talk about anything.

Just as I was climbing into bed a knock on my door made me jump.

I opened the door to see Derek standing there.

"Hey." He mumbled.

"Hey, how was babysitting?" I made conversation.

"Quiet. The sock came in handy. I tied him down with an extra rope I found. I came up an hour earlier."Derek admitted.

"Why didn't you say me and Maya where in the living room all night you could of joined us."

"I over heard the conversation and thought I better stay out of it."he smirked.

"Oh you heard that. Everything seems so strange right now." I changed the topic.

"Yeah. Simon told me about how you feel with Liam being here." Derek bluntly blurted.

"Oh..." Was all I could muster.

"There's so many of us around and just one of him. It's safer to have him here. Maya just checked on him after you went to bed." Derek tried to comfort me.

"Relax Chloe."

I nodded In response.

"What do you think about the others?" I asked meaning Serena and Marco but he didn't pick up on that.

" I don't like that Nicole girl she's a bit needy with Daniel although I don't like him either...still. And I don't like Sam very much. She reminds me of Tori." Derek muttered.

I couldn't help but let a laugh escape that was Derek written all over.

"What?" He looked a bit shocked.

"That's just typical you! And why don't you like Daniel?"

"Because he broke your wrist and his friend threatened you with a knife." Derek bought up the past.

"He said sorry." I reminded him.

"You forgave him. I didn't." Derek stated.

"He's a nice guy." I tried to stick up for him.

"Still I will never forget."

God he's so stubborn.

"Oh and I'm not too keen on Corey." Derek frowned.

"Why?"

"Because of what he says about you." Derek frowned even more. "What does he say about me?" I looked up bewildered.

"Your find out soon enough." Derek taunted.

"You have to tell me now!"

Derek had a small smile on his face.

Before I could say anything else a loud ear screeching alarm belted into are ears.

"What the hell is that!?" I yelled.

"Security alarm." Derek shouted. Everyone raced out of their rooms into the hallways.

"Holy hell that's loud! "Corey spluttered still struggling to open his eyes.

"Is it a fire alarm?" Serena questioned.

"No it's a security alarm." Derek's voice boomed over the sound as he raced down stairs.

Daniel and Kit followed him.

As we all went down the stairs everything looked normal except the back door was open.

Derek turned the alarm off and shut the back door that was wide open.

"Search the house." Kit ordered.

"Stay here with Tori." Derek ordered as he went to investigate.

After a minuet or two they still couldn't see what the problem was. That's when I clicked.

"Chloe where you going?" Tori yelled at me as I headed for the basement.

I shoved the door open to see no one there. Just empty. Liam had gotten out. A kitchen knife left lying on the floor next to the cut rope.

Someone had let him out. And on purpose.
