Chloe's POV
Two months past by very quickly.
Derek and I's relationship has been stronger than ever.
There had been a couple of close calls when Derek and I had almost done "it", but Derek had always controlled himself and left the room.
I could tell Derek's self control was thinning.
Every time I looked at him, his eyes would always wander to my boobs or my butt.
Of course it didn't help that I was showing a lot more skin, thanks to Tori.
As soon as I had a clean bill of health she dragged me to the nearest shopping mall.
With the weather warming up, the heat had sky-rocketed to record temperatures.
Tori had taken me to every clothes aisle in the mall and bought me at least 40 different outfits, which consisted of short shorts, tank tops, spaghetti straps, skirts, and mid-thigh dresses. As for shoes we bought flats, sandals, and pumps. She also bought me 3 different bikinis.
I looked over at Derek and once again he was staring at my boobs. It probably didn't help that I was leaning forward.
I snapped my fingers to get his attention. "Derek, my eyes are up here."
His head shot up and his face turned beet red.
"Sorry," he mumbled.
"Derek," I whined. "You're supposed to be helping me with my math homework, not staring at my boobs."
If possible, Derek's face got even redder.
He cleared his throat. "Well, let's continue."
While Derek was trying to explain how to do the problem, my eyes kept traveling to his lips.
Believe me, I was trying to pay attention but I was too mesmerized.
I guess Derek could tell I was losing my focus because he leaned forward and kissed me.
The kitchen door swung open and a voice said, "Jeez wolf boy, keep it in your pants."
Derek broke off the kiss and glared. "Go to Hell, Tori."
Tori stuck her tongue out.
Simon came in saying, "She did. Satan sent her back with a note saying, 'Too annoying. Never send back.'"
Derek let out a fit of laughter and I giggled uncontrollably.
Tori threw an apple at me and Derek. Derek let his hit him but caught mine before it could hit me.
Tori threw an apple at Simon too, he wasn't expecting it and it hit on his forehead.
Simon and Derek had quit bickering and became brothers again. Instead of yelling it was laughter, something I gladly appreciated in this house and so did Kit.
Nobody knew what happened between Simon and Derek. One day they were yelling and the next they were laughing and having pretend boxing matches.
Nobody but me anyway. Derek and Simon had no idea I heard part of their conversation.
Flashback
I woke up to the sound of the door clicking shut and realized that Derek wasn't next to me.
I looked over at the clock, it read 11:43 p.m. I'd been asleep for almost an hour.
I faintly heard another door open and close down the hall.
I slowly slid off the bed, opened the door, and crept down the hall.
I heard muffled voices coming from Simon's room. I silently walked to his door, and pressed my ear to the door.
I heard Derek finish saying, ". . . with you, Simon?"
Simon replies, "I don't know, D. It's like one minute I'm my normal self, then as soon as I see you or Chloe, my entire being is being controlled or something."
"So you're possessed?"
"Looks like it. Hey, does Chloe know how to perform an exorcism ?"
I rolled my eyes, that was like asking if a sorcerer can do spells.
"Yeah . . ." Derek said.
"Would it be possible for her to perform one on me?" Simon asked, almost pleading.
"Um, I'll ask her when she wakes up."
I quickly left after that, the floorboards squeaking as I tried to tip-toe quietly down the hall.
The door opened a second later, and I quickly dived into the bathroom.
I peeked my head over and saw that Derek was looking up and down the hall.
I tucked my head back into the bathroom before he could see me.
Great. First I had to deal with having sex with Derek (not that I'm complaining), then the Mating Ritual (again, not complaining), and now I have to perform an exorcism on Simon.
These next couple of months will be overwhelming.

Derek's POV
"Did you hear that?" I asked Simon as I ripped the door open and darted my head out.
I sniffed the air. Strawberries. Chloe was eavesdropping.
"Who was it?" Simon asked.
"No one."
Simon shrugged his shoulders. "Oh well. Then I'm going to bed now. Seeing as some of us have school tomorrow."
I smirked. "Night, Simon."
"Night, D."
The next morning Simon and Tori left for school. Simon excited because he got to drive my truck and Tori complaining/excited. Complaining because she had to go to school and Chloe and I didn't. Excited because she got to see Gabriel.
Dad and Andrew left for work and the other Supernaturals that lived with us were going into town to explore.
So Chloe and I had the house to ourselves. Again.
This should be fun.
I heard Chloe wandering around the house upstairs, which is what she usually does when she's bored.
She came downstairs fully dressed for the day. When she saw me she stopped on the third step and scowled at me.
"What's with that face?" I asked, not use to seeing that look on her face. It was more suited for me, not her.
"It's almost 10 o'clock and you're not even dressed yet." she said.
I looked down at myself. I was wearing black sweatpants and a white wife beater.
"It's only Sunday." I complained.
"I don't care. We have to go into town today and then we are going out for lunch."
I grumbled. "What are we going into town for?"
She didn't say anything. She just stared blankly at me, it was a second later when I caught on.
I coughed. "I'll go take a shower."
"You better, because I'm not having sex with you until you do."
I blushed. "Yes, Dear."
That got me a punch to the shoulder and I laughed.
On my way up the stairs I ran into Simon.
"Watch it, Simon." I said in mock-anger.
"Sorry, Derek." he said in the same tone.
We smiled and I clapped him on the shoulder.
While I was taking a shower, I thought back to when Chloe performed the exorcism.
Flashback
Tori, Dad and all the other Supernaturals had left the house.
Chloe came down the stairs. "It's time."
I nodded and looked at what Chloe was wearing.
I chuckled. "What are you wearing?"
"What?" she asked and looked down at herself.
She was wearing a white dress and rosary beads.
"It's ceremonial." she said.
I chuckled again.
"Just get upstairs and get Simon while I grab the stuff."
I took the stairs two at a time, in search of Simon.
Bad Simon had started to come out more the closer to the exorcism we came
Chloe said he would be hiding the day of the exorcism.
And sure enough he was hiding. I had to use my sense of smell to find him.
When I found him, he did not look good. He was pale as a sheet and was sweating profusely.
I reached out to him and he dodged my grasp.
He managed to get two steps away from me before I grabbed him and put him in a headlock.
He fought me all the way downstairs, where Chloe was standing in the middle of the room with candles all around.
I smelt lavender and sage burning somewhere in the room.
The closer Simon got to Chloe, the more violent he became.
Even I had trouble controlling him.
I managed to get Simon to sit on the chair that was placed out for him.
While I held him down, Chloe was tying ropes on his arms to hold him still.
I lost control of him for a split second, but it was enough.
He managed to get his arm loose and ended up backhanding Chloe across the face.
I yanked his arm back in place. He would pay for that later.
Chloe started tying him up again but with more caution.
Once he was all tied up, I double checked them to make sure they were tight enough.
As Chloe took a step forward, a demonic voice came from Simon saying, "Leave, you feeble bitch! He belongs to Satan now."
A flash of hurt danced across Chloe's face before she regained her composure.
Objects started falling off the walls and flying across the room. All aimed at Chloe.
I went over to her and wrapped my arms around her, leaving enough room for her to move her arms.
Even though it was 70 degrees outside, the room temperature dropped to about 30 degrees.
I could see Chloe's breath in the air.
Simon began to make strange noises that were from from being human.
As Chloe started to chant words, the temperature in the room became blistering hot and more and more objects were aimed towards Chloe but I shielded her with my body.
I was surely going to have some bruises after this ordeal.
The more objects that started flying the louder Chloe chanted the words.
Then . . .
It went deadly quiet. Chloe stopped chanting for a minute and looked at Simon.
Several agonizing minutes later, Simon's back suddenly went rigid and he started making animal noises and spoke in several foreign languages.
Simon then started to show tremendous strength and levitated six inches off the ground.
"Hold him down!" Chloe yelled at me as she started chanting even louder then before.
Chloe then started flicking Simon with holy water and Simon would scream in pain.
The last line of the chant Chloe had screamed at the top of her lungs. "By my holy order, I command you to go back to the realm from which you came."
Simon gave one more agonizing scream before he slumped in his chair.
He was breathing heavily and after a few minutes he got his breath under control.
The next thing I knew the temperature had gone down and a wave of calm washed over the entire house.
"Simon?" Chloe asked hesitantly.
Simon slowly lifted his head up and asked, "What happened?"
I looked at him confused. "You don't remember what happened?"
Simon shook his head.
"Well-," I started before Chloe raised a hand and cut me off.
"It's a long story. One for another day."
Simon slowly nodded his head and said, "Well do you mind untying me then?"
After we untied him, Simon said he was going up to take a nap.
Chloe said to keep an eye on him for a couple of days to make sure he was alright.
Weeks went by and nothing had happened. Simon had returned to his normal self and Chloe deemed him un-possessed.
End Flashback
After that ordeal, Simon had become his normal self and stopped trying to get into Chloe's pants.
Simon started dating Kenzie from our new group of Supernaturals that came.
After I finished getting dressed I went downstairs to find Chloe waiting at the bottom steps with my car keys in her hand.
"It's about time you finished." she said.
When I finished coming down the stairs I stood two steps away from her and said, "Where did feisty Chloe come from? I don't mind her but that's not how you usually talk to me."
"Oh. I'm sorry, is there a certain way I'm supposed to talk to you?"
I feigned hurt, took the car keys and walked to the truck.
"Derek?" Chloe asked. I could hear the worry in her voice.
She caught up to me and wrapped her arms around my torso.
"Dare? I'm sorry I didn't mean it." she said into my shoulders.
I was fighting a smile by this point. She was so gullible.
"I guess I can forgive you, Clover." I said.
I felt her smile into my shoulder for my nickname for her.
I turned around in her arms and wrapped my arms around her tiny frame.
"I can't wait for Wednesday." I whispered in her ear.
I felt her smile into my neck. "Why?"
"Certain reasons."
School had ended a couple of days ago and the official first day of summer vacation starts tomorrow.
We got into my truck and we drove to RiteAid. When we walked in a slutty looking girl was managing the cash register.
One of her eyes was watching my every step while the other eye was shooting daggers at Chloe.
One word. Creepy.
The closer we got to the condom aisle, the redder my blush became.
I picked up a pack of extra large Durex Maximum Strength condoms.
When Chloe saw the size I picked out her eyes widened a little and my blush got even redder.
When we turned around the slutty girl was standing right behind us. I didn't even hear her coming.
"Can I ring you up, sir?" she asked in a tried but failed seductive voice.
Chloe glared at the girl with malice in her eyes.
I chuckled. She turned her glare on me and I cowered away.
The girl cleared her throat and was glaring at Chloe, but when she turned toward me it was replaced with lust.
I puked in my mouth a little bit.
"I can take that for you sir." she said and trailed her fingers up my arm.
I glared at her. "Sure." I forced them into her hand a little too rough.
That only seemed to increase her lust and turned and swayed her hips.
I looked away in horror.
I looked over to Chloe and she was glaring at the girl again.
"I just want to smack her." She said with venom in her voice.
I tilted her chin up to face me. "Hey," I said. "I don't like slutty girls. You're the only one I want to be with."
I leaned forward and kissed her. I felt her respond to my kiss and leaned into it. The kiss went on longer than it should have.
We walked to the register. The girl had already bagged it and shoved them into Chloe's hand.
"$7.99." she said.
I paid her and she tried one last attempt to flirt with me.
It didn't work.
We walked out, not before Chloe called her a whore before we left.
I started chuckling again.
"It's not funny." she said.
I stopped laughing and said, "You're cute when you're jealous."
"Only when I'm jealous?"
"That didn't come out the way I intended. And you're hanging out with Tori way too much."
She shook her head but other wise didn't comment and climbed into the truck.
I climbed in the other side and drove us to get something to eat.
When we got home, Dad was there waiting at the bottom of the stairs with a cucumber and an extra large condom.
Simon and Tori were standing behind him trying to contain their laughter.
"Derek? Chloe? It's time we had a conversation." Dad said.
Oh, boy.
Sorry for the long delay. The little review button wants some attention!
