CPOV

I woke up in my room in the safe house. Well, it used to be my room before I….left. I blinked twice and looked at the ceiling. Why am I here, in Tori's bed? And why do I feel like I've been hit by five buses?

I look to my left. Rachel's bed-my old bed- was empty. The only light in the room was coming from the blue numbers on the alarm clock. It was midnight.

All of a sudden, I heard breathing. I looked into the dark corner of the room, and saw a pair of glowing green eyes staring at me. Hold up, I know someone whose green eyes glowed in the dark. Even though I was still mad at him, I was kind of glad that he was here. "Derek, is that you?", I whispered with hope.

In less than a second those green eyes moved right in front of my face. "Of course I'm not Derek, you idiot!", Rachel snarled. The alarm clock next to the bed was casting a scary, blue-ish shadow on her face.

"I know who you really are, Chloe Saunders and I just wanted to say, that coming back here was a horrible idea.", she growled. I noticed her British accent kicked up a notch when she was angry.

I was so shocked, I couldn't move. "H-how do you know?", was all I could say. She laughed. "That disguise does nothing! The others are just too dumb and depressed to see It.", she hissed.

"But I don't know you! How do you know who I am?" I asked with confidence. She smiled, but it looked more like she was baring her teeth at me. She didn't have fangs, thank god, but her teeth looked so razor-sharp, that I bet they could cut through anything. I tried to move away, but I was so weak, that I couldn't even succeed in moving two millimeters.

"That doesn't matter, Chloe. I just suggest you keep your identity to yourself and leave.", she stood back up. "Or, I can kill you myself. But that's your choice."

She turned around and when she got to the door, she turned around again. "Oh yeah, and your puppy love with Derek will vanish as soon as I get a hold of him.", she said with an evil smirk.

Then she silently closed the door, and left without making a sound. It seemed as if she was never here in the first place. But I knew better to think that what just happened was a dream.

The next day…

I woke up to find everyone surrounding my bed. They all looked so worried. Even Rachel put on a fake-worried face on today. But Derek looked the worst. His eyes were bloodshot and he was as pale as a sheet of paper.

Simon looked relieved. "See, Andrew? I told you she'd wake up!", he said. Andrew, however, looked confused. "Yes, Simon, indeed she has.", he said. But he looked really confused for some reason.

"What happened?", I said groggily. Everyone shared a hesitant look. Simon spoke up first.

"Well, Sarah, we were on our walk in the forest, and all of a sudden you fell and blacked out.", he said slowly. I noticed that Derek winced when he said the word "walk". He must know the translation for that, too.

"I brought you back here and Andrew said that somehow you were hit with some sort of power-paralysis spell.", he said.

"Yes, that's right. That spell is very powerful and dangerous. I'm actually surprised you survived it, actually. We didn't know if you would wake up.", he said still looking confused.

I cleared my throat. "But who casted that spell at me?", I asked. And why wasn't Simon hit, too? , I thought to myself.

"Well, I don't know, actually. But I'm glad your powers are strong enough to survive it, though.", he said that, but I could tell he didn't mean it at all.

"How long did you guys say I was asleep?", I asked. "You were out for three days straight. No food, no drink, and you're still alive!", Tori said, looking impressed.

"Oh my god! Speaking of food, you haven't eaten in a while, so you must be starving! I'll go get you something to eat.", Rachel said, with a dazzling grin. To an unsuspecting person, that would actually look genuine.

"Well, I think I should go, too. I'm sure you know that I have a lot of work to do.", Andrew said. Then he quickly left the room. I heard him muttering to himself on the way out, but all I heard was "strong powers." Yep, my suspicion of him totally increased.
