I was pouting on a small treestump in the middle of the forest when my mother found me. I didn't even have to look up to see who was coming; I just knew it was her. I felt her, I don't know, aura or something and I knew it was Mommy. I've really missed her these past years. As if reading my mind she picked me up and sat me down on her lap, replacing my butt on the stump with her's.

"Bumblebee," she said quietly like I was still a young child. The old nickname made my throat close up and tears start to sting my eyes. It's funny how just one small word can cause so much emotion in me. " I know Lauren hurt you and your friends very bad. I know she why she did the things she did though. She did them because I asked her to protect you." She sighed wearily. "I think it's time you know how I actually died." My eyes widened to about the size of dinner plates.

"Baby girl, I never died in a carcrash. The police found me dead in a busted up car that had crashed into a SUV and just decided that I must've died on impact. The truth is that I was murdered." I gasped in shock. So what Tahisha said was true! Mom continued. "I was murdered by a vampire named Chad. We thought he didn't know what he was at the time. But we were wrong. So very, very wrong. He knew about everything; about being one of the supernatural, about the Edison Group, even about you, bumblebee. Nobody knows how he got all that information, or even who he got it from. All I do know is he was the one who killed me.

"It was December 19, 1998 and I was walking your aunt back to the Edison Group headquarters. You see, at the time Lauren didn't have much money and the Edison Group told her that she could stay with them until she got back on her feet. I think she's still grateful they did that for her. But anyway, I had just gone Christmas shopping again for gifts for your father, so to put in the simplest way I had alot of bags with me. Once we got to Lauren's room a little way's down the hall from the enterance, I put down all my bags to give her a hug. Suddenly, a dark shadow bolted out of the corner of the hall and grabbed me from behind." Mom picked me up and got off the stump to go look in the trees. "It was Chad and he began to whisper vulgar things to me while Lauren was unconcious on the floor. What I didn't notice was that when he ran from his dark corner, he knocked out my sister before she could scream for help. I probably annoyed him with my kicking and my struggling because he said something like 'such a waste' and started to drink from me. When my struggling started to get weaker, Lauren woke up and screamed. Apparently Chad didn't notice because he kept on drinking. Right before I passed out from blood loss I said 'Take care of my Chloe.'" Mom bowed her head as if in she were crying and then looked over at me. "When I woke up, I was here. And whenever I stop following you I end up back here. Chloe, just know that only a few days after you and Tori ran from that factory was my sister killed. She wouldn't tell those monsters anything about where you went or if you went back to Derek and Simon. She kept her mouth shut and that was her ultimate death. She's still hurting honey; Lauren totally regrets what she did to you and your friends." Then she added in a whisper I probably wasn't supposed to hear. "And what she didn't do to them."

I backed away in horror. No, I thought, my hands starting to shake. No! No, no, no, no, no! She was closing in on me, trying to corner me to a tree, I guess. I started shaking more violently, not just my hands but my whole body was starting to shake.

Once she said that last little statement, something in me started sounding the 'DANGER!' alarm. Backing up is pretty much the only thing my mind could comprehend through the sudden burst of terror and defense. My throat was closing up, tears clouding my eyes, my head pounding and little pictures of open-mouthed skulls and fire floated on the edges of my vision. I could feel evil in this serene forest where nothing bad happened. My brain kept on telling me to run/

And that's exactly what I did.

yaayy! I updated! im sorry it wasnt on wednesday, but im going to try to updated aleast every wednesday and maybe even more because the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL IS NEXT FRRRIIIDDDAAAYYY! xDDD whoohoo! anyway, I'll hopefully be getting this finished this summer because I'll be buying my own laptop soon soo... yaa...

I've been read some past reviews (THNX 4 REVIEWING! xD 3 YALL!) and GoodGirlsGoBad said she didn't understand chapter 9. So lemme explain to her and everyone else who didn't get it (SORRRYYYY!)

Okay, so right as Chloe's about to take a nap, Andrew starts calling for her and Derek, (i forgot to put in franticly srry) and they go downstairs together. Then everything gets confusing. I'm sorry again, I ment for you guys to hear and see what Chloe was feeling on an unnatural level, like you were actually her. Okay, so here it goes. Derek was suppose to be downstairs but he left after the girls kidnapped Chloe. He went into his room to do God knows what until Simon came in. Yaddayadda blah blah blah..

So anyway, when they came downstairs again, it was suppose to be a small timeskip, like 4-5 hours. The reason nobody could find Derek or Chloe will be explain in later chapters -coughcough-hint-coughcough- or maybe it will be because they were too stupid to look in the rooms or something lazy like that. :P Anyway, Chloe's necklace started glowing, which is an automatic ALERT! signal. Derek did see it but he didnt understand what was happening. Same thing with Simon. He saw and knew something bad was happening. As for Andrew, let's just say he learned all about necromancers in 'school' that he knew exactly what to do. When Chloe passed out, she was in a meadow like the one from Twilight, only instead of wildflowers they're sunflowers. She's wearing a white speggeti strap dress with no shoes and her hair is back to the long length it was before. Her mom is wear the same thing only her's is black on the bottom and on the straps. They pretty much looked like twins because her mom was really young when she died, about 22 in my story, so that means that she and chloe's dad had chloe at 17 or 18. So now that I explained it does everybody get it? Yes? Good. So they'll probably be going to MA in the next few chapters, maybe the 14th one... hmmm...

OH! I just made a new poll on my profile! It concerns this story and I really need your opinions! Thanks guys! Please review if you love me!
