I do not own Darkest Powers… I wish I did.

Thank you! Thank you! For your reviews… I know I am greedy but I want more reviews.

A few seconds later there was an ear-piercing howl coming from the woods. It was howl of pain and anguish. All the wolves ran out the house; on his way out Matt yelled at me not to worry and stay in the house, they would make sure Derek and Simon were okay.

Andrew took command of the room and began giving instructions.

"All except Tori, Carrie, Chloe and Mrs. Owens better get some sleep. We have a lot of planning to do and in the next few days we will be at war! So everyone else get some sleep"

The room cleared out, a few of the kids wanted to stay for the planning but Andrew insisted they went to bed.

I wanted to be there for Derek but I knew that he needs space right now.

Andrew and Mrs. Owens were huddled together making plans, I could not focus at what they were saying, and I just wanted to know that Derek and Simon were okay.

A few minutes later one of the new wolves came back,

"Um, Chloe? We have not met but my name is Eric, Matt asked me to come back and tell you that Derek is okay but he just needs to let some of his anger out, no one is hurt, just a few trees snapped in half but Derek is beginning to calm down. Simon is also okay, the guys are with them and are helping them cope with what their dad is going through. Derek did tell me to tell you that he needs Liz to stay here and as many other ghosts as possible including your mother"

I thanked Eric for the message as he returned to the join the rest of the guys.

"Liz, can you find my mom? Can you communicate with the other ghosts that are willing to help?"

"Of course! I'll be right back" with that she disappeared.

Andrew called my attention; he said we would need to move the attack at E.G headquarter and organize a rescue at Davidoff's house.

Derek, Simon and the rest of the pack returned. Derek looked angry, if I was not his mate, loved, and knew him well, I would have been scared of him.

Derek took charge the moment he came in. "Is Liz here?" was the first thing he asked.

"No, she went to get my mom and more help. Why do you need ghosts?"

"I will explain when Liz returns"

Derek and Matt went to talk to Andrew and Mrs. Owens; I noticed most of the new wolves did not know what to do. Simon was not in the room anymore and Tori had disappeared.

Liz came back with my mom and four others, Martha, Jane, Devon and Tim.

"Derek, Liz and my mom are back and they brought others"

"Good, I want to talk to them!"

"Go ahead, they can hear you" He closed his eyes took a long deep breath.

"Liz, for starters I want to thank you for finding my dad, I am in your dept. now, and I need your help and the help of as many ghosts as possible. By your re-telling of everything you saw at Davidoff's house I know you are very detailed oriented girl and you can see how important every detail is before we make a move. Liz I need you to go back to Davidoff's house. We need to know who is monitoring the house"

"Derek, there is no one in the house besides Dr. Davidoff"

"That is why I need you to search all around the house! Any structure: garage, shed, outhouse, tree house, dog house, pool house, etc. Any type of structure on the property that you can find. However, not just his property, I need you and the rest of the ghosts to look at every house, garage or any structure within at least one mile radius to the house. What is the point of having cameras all over and no one to monitor them? I also think that there must be some type of safe box or locked drawer in the "lab" that may hold an extra key to dad's room. I cannot believe that Davidoff does not have anyone guarding dad when he is not home and that person must have access to a key and be able to open the door in case of an emergency"

I also need one or two of you to go to headquarters, the control room that Dr. Davidoff took Chloe to see when she was there could also be monitoring his house. Look around the control room, I have a feeling that in a private room someone is watching the house, check every room, even if it looks like a broom closet or bathroom. We need to know what we are a dealing with here and who is watching"

Liz looked shocked by the way Derek took command, to be honest; I was very impressed myself too. She said she would be back as soon as she had news and disappeared again with the other ghosts. My mom told me she would search headquarters and report back as soon as she could.

Mrs. Owens and Andrew took the new guys to their rooms; most were going to share a room.

I took Derek aside and wrapped my arms around him. He held on to me with much intensity. I could feel the tension in him and I was worried.

"Derek? You need to get some sleep. Please can we go to our room now?"

"No, love, there is so much to do and plan, you need to get some rest and I promise I will join you soon. But right now I could not sleep even if you knocked me over the head with a metal bat"

I insisted on staying up a little while longer with the excuse of waiting for the ghost to come back, Carrier volunteered to stay up so I could get some sleep, "traitor!" I mouthed to her. She smiled and went back to the table.

I insisted I was not tired and I would not go to bed yet, Derek did not argue with me, maybe because he knew that very soon I would be asleep on the couch and he would carry me to our room.

Sure enough I woke up in the morning in my own bed; the good thing was that Derek was sleep next to me; at least I knew he got some rest.

Once Derek woke up we hurried up downstairs to get an update on last night's events.

Carrie told me that Liz had checked in while I was sleep but did not report anything new. She said Davidoff got up around 5:30 A.M and got ready for work, he did not bother to check on Kit at all.

The house was quiet for a change when we had just sat down to eat when Liz popped out of nowhere screaming "I found it! I found it!"

Both Carrie and I let jumped out of our chairs at the same time. Everyone froze and I yelled "Liz! You scared the begezzes out of me!"

"Sorry, sorry, sorry but I am so exited! This mission impossible work is fun!"

"Chloe what is Liz saying" Derek has was getting impatient.

"Liz found a control room"

"There is a control room monitoring the house, it is not on the property, it is in a house less than a mile away to the south. The house is small but just as fancy as Dr. Davidoff's. It appears like a couple lives there but they are Edison Group members. A man and a women, oh, and they have a dog too. There is also security on Davidoff's property, two guards patrolling the outside and a housekeeper inside, the lady inside does not look like a housekeeper and she spends a lot of time in the "lab" but has not checked on Kit at all. They have guns and handcuffs and also those taser guns you see on TV, there is a tool shed on the property that if you see through the windows it looks like a tool shed but once inside it does not store tools, it has weapons, guns, tasers, sticks or batons, like the ones police carries"

"Liz you are great! Now I need you to back and monitor the house, we need to know when they have shift changes, we need to know if they are supernatural's and if they are what are their powers, also keep looking at the rest of the neighborhood, there may be more people around"

When Liz was gone the house became alive, everyone was busy, Mrs. Owens, Tori, Susan (witch), Eric and Mike (wolves) left to buy supplies and other things we need for the attack.

I leant later that they hit several Radio Shacks and purchased two way radios, they also purchased bolt cutters at the local Home Depot, they also filled up several gasoline containers.

When we attack the E.G we were going to be dressed alike, they picked up matching shirts and other things we needed to get ready. Mean time in the house the planning continued. Maps were made of the two places to be attacked; the planning was being left to Derek, Andrew, Matt, Carrie, Mrs. Owens and Simon. Groups were being made and each group would have a specific job to do besides staying alive. Like Derek said, it was not a rescue mission, it is a rescue and destroy mission. In 3 days the Edison Group was going down for good!

REVIEW… REVIEW… REVIEW…

I want to finish this story before the next book comes out in April. Next chapter will be the attack.
