Chloes POV
As we go back to the house I could smell something burning. I looked at Derek and knew he could smell it to. We both took off running to the house. There were at least 8 black SUVs outside and I could smell the magic in the air. There were people in the house still. They were going to have to either burn to death or run into the Edison Group. At least thats who I assumed was there.
"Derek, stay here." I said getting overprotective.
I walked out not seeing if Derek followed my orders of not. I killed at least 8 people before they noticed.
"Stop where you are!" One said.
I kept walking and someone shot at me. I felt the bullet go through my heart and out of my body. I saw my soul almost leave my body before I dropped. I grabbed out at it instinctively with my mind and shoved it back into my body. I heard Derek yell out and hear his clothes rip as he Changed. It was fueled by adrenalin so it was within 3 seconds he was finished. After the pain faded slightly I sat up. Everyone stared at me and I could tell they were shocked. Derek and I killed or knocked out everyone on our way to save our friends.
"Sara! Use your powers!" I yelled and the fire died down a bit. "Sally! Contain the fire!" The fire soon went out and Tori came outside.
"Anyone die?" I ask.
"Joe, and Sally and Sara are in bad shape."
I walked inside and heard their heartbeats slowing more by the second. I grabbed their hands and tried to see their souls. It didn't work, I was technically dead.
"Fuck!" I yelled, standing up fast, "Derek. Can you hear my heartbeat?"
He listened for a moment, then walked closer and closer until he was right in front of me.
"No." He said shocked.
"Well fuck me." I said punching the wall. "The guy shot me and it went through my heart. I grabbed my soul and shoved it back inside me. I'm my own zombie."
I heard Sara's heart fail and Sally's soon after. I gathered the 3 fallen and walked out back I laid them down and went back inside to get sheets to wrap them in. When I was finished Tori and Simon did a spell to burn the bodies in a non-morbid way, the fire was mainly just for show the spell disintegrated the body without any smell.
"I'm not going to stay here much longer." I said.
"Why?" Simon asked.
"I'm dead Simon. No heartbeat. It's only a matter of time before I start to decompose. I think I'll be able to take my soul out of me by myself."
Simon made an 'oh' noise. We all walked back into the house, more sad then I would have liked but what do you expect when three people you know just died. Well four if you count me.
"Don't mourn their deaths," I said, "celebrate their lives."
I got the alcohol from a cabinet and poured everyone a shot.
"To our fallen friends" Mak said.
"Our fallen friends." We all chorused.
Everyone went to bed except me. I stayed up and wrote my will. Everything I had, which wasn't a lot, was going to Jer and he could decide what to do with it. I put the note on my bed and walked to Dereks' room. He was still awake.
"You're leaving." He said. Not questioning, stating a fact.
"Yes," I said anyway, "Let everyone know I love them for me?"
"I will." He said standing in front of me.
He dipped down and kissed me and there was none of the usual power behind the kiss, it was just like kissing anyone else.
"You are already gone." He said, tears in his eyes.
I took the hand that was on my face and kissed the palm.
"Yeah. Guess that happens sometimes right?" I laughed a bit, kissed him one last time, and walked out of his room and the house.
I walked into the woods, no specific place in my mind. I walked until I saw a tiny river and there was a huge rock there too. I sat on the rock and tried to take my soul out and I watched as it floated away I heard the crash that meant I had fallen in the river.
(Dereks POV) next morning
"Chloe left last night, this was on her pillow." I said in a flat voice.
I could feel inside me that she was dead. My wolf kept howling in agony about being ripped away from his mate.
"Guess were going to Jeremys then." Tori said.
Everyone got their things together and we all got in one van. To me everything seemed like in slow motion. I was still hung up on Chloe being dead. Her not being here anymore was like a physical pain, right above my heart. We eventually got to Jeremys and Tori told me to go knock. They wouldn't have to explain if the Pack saw my face. Clay opened the door and froze when he saw my face.
"How?" He demanded in a strained voice.
"One of the Edison Group shot her in the heart and she shoved her soul back inside herself. Then after everyone went to sleep she wrote this," I held up the note, "And left to take her soul back out of her body."
Clay just pulled me inside and sat me down on the couch. The same couch where me and Chloe watched endless movies and shows and fell asleep together. I forced myself not to cry, instead I looked at the ceiling. I stood up to go look at the movies. Looking for one we hadn't already watched and I heard a rushing sound in my ears, and I passed out.
(Clay POV) (AN: mostly just so you guys know whats happening.)
I heard a heavy thump and everyone ran into the living room to see Derek on the floor.
"Call Cassie." Jer ordered, lifting him up.
Tonio nodded and ran to the phone. Cassie was our shaman, but I doubt she would be able to heal this.
"Jer," I said, "They were mates. He's not going to want to live without Chloe." My voice broke on her name.
Jer just nodded stiffly. We all loved Chloe but Derek was the only one that would die without her.
"This was what it was like when you thought Elena was dead?" Jer asked as we walked to the empty bedroom.
"Worse because I just thought she was, even though I could still feel her. You know how insane that made me." I said thinking back to even this morning, I snapped at Tonio for hugging Elena.
"He can't feel her?"
"Mates have a certain feeling inside you. Its like right above your heart."
"You were yelling and tearing at your chest." He says remembering.
"This is worse, because he can't feel her. He knows for a fact shes dead."
Cassie came in not much later and set to work. Jer and I went into the kitchen and waited. Cassie came back down and sat at the table.
"I soothed some of his pain but he's going to die soon. He's in agony right now. There's nothing I can do. Not even a doctor could help him." She said looking down at the table.
Elena looked at me and I know she was thinking back to when she left and when I thought she was dead.
"If I hadn't come back when I did. You would be?" She asked.
"Maybe. I don't know." I said putting my head in my hands.
I had to give Derek credit. We could barely hear him and I know for a fact that it hurts like a mother fucker. Worse than Changing. We all took turns trying to sooth him in our best ways but we all knew it wouldn't do anything. We all went to sleep at about midnight.
(Chloes POV) (AN: DUNDUNDUNNN whats gonna happen :3)
I woke up in a white room. Like there was no spot of darkness anywhere. It should have hurt my eyes but for some reason it didn't.
"You are very brave Chloe Saunders." Came a voice from behind me. I whirled around and saw a tall woman about 23 sitting in a white chair.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm, well I'm the Angel of Death, my name is Gabrielle. You see," She said standing and walking over to me, "you wern't supposed to die today. You wern't even supposed to have your soul leaving your body, and no way in hell were you supposed to be able to put it back inside you. The Edison Group now has enemies in the Afterworld." She started pacing. "We want to be able to go down to Earth but to do so, we need at least one Angel to be invited by a necromancer, then as long as the first Angel and the necromancer allow it. I want to give you the chance to live again and take down the Edison Group."
"So all I have to do is somehow live again, invite an Angel down, and the Edison Group is done?"
"Almost. You wern't supposed to die. All deaths are planned. The suicides, the random freak accidents, all of them. But the Edison Group messed with everything when they started this. All you have to do is invite an Angel down. We will all come to the Hall in a while so you can decide who you want down with you first. We will all plan, just like we would if we were super-naturals. When were with the living our powers aren't as strong as here. We will let you and whoever else you want come with us."
"So basically. I'm going to be alive again?" I asked thinking of Derek.
"Yes."
"Okay, when are the others going to be at the Hall?"
"They already are, we were waiting on you."
I nodded and she walked to a door I didn't notice before. It blended in with the wall seamlessly, except for the doorknob. The room we walked into was just as white as the room before, but this one had a large wooden table. In white ash oh course. The chairs were made of the same material.
"Everyone, Chloe has accepted." Everyone in the room looked pleased about that. "She is going to decide who is to come with her first so be normal, do not try to impress her." They all nodded and they sort of, mingled among themselves, I guess its so I don't feel weird. The first one to come to me was a large man with black hair and red eyes.
"Don't let the eyes scare you, it's because I'm War. Not my name though thats Mars." He said with a smile.
I smiled back and said, "I think the eyes are pretty cool. So your not like, Angel of War? Just War?"
"I'm technically Angel of War, but I think it sounds weird so I just say War."
"Makes sense." I say nodding.
"Mars," A tall beautiful woman said, "others might like to talk to her."
Mars smirked and said to me, "I see I'm taking up too much of your time. I hope to see you again soon." And he walked away.
"Sorry, I just think the quicker we get this over with, the quicker you can get back to, well living and then we can take down the Edison Group." The woman said.
"Understandable." I said with a small laugh.
"I'm the Angel of Life. My names Shanna. I enjoy planting things by the way, and Gregory helps me with that, he's the Angel of Earth. Like not the planet, but like you know." She said gesturing to the ground.
"Yeah." I with a laugh.
"Well I must be going." She said walking away.
"Hello, I'm Nathaniel, the Angel of Fire." Said a tall man with black hair and ice blue eyes. I was beginning to notice all the Angels were tall and beautiful.
"Nice to meet you."
"I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to say. So I'm just gonna say random things about myself. I like fire, obviously, I like long walks on the beach or ocean, not really picky, and I love reading."
I laughed and said "Sounds fun."
"It is. Especially if the walks are with a beautiful young lady." He said winking, "Well I'm sure you would like to talk to people other than me so I must be off."
He walked away and a man with blond hair and green eyes walked up to me.
"Hello, I'm Gregory, but please call me Greg. I'm the Angel of Earth. Not the planet obviously," He said with a small laugh, "but like the ground."
"Sounds pretty fun."
"Its just what I do." He said blushing, "But you probably want to get this over with so you can get back to your friends, so I'm off." He walked away and a tall red-head with blue eyes walked up to me.
"Hey, I'm Ashley, the Angel of Love. And I can tell you that you need to get back to Earth soon. Derek is hurting, he needs you back." She said grabbing my hand gently. "And just a warning, I do call people love, or honey when talking. Its just a habit." And she walked away.
Derek is hurting? I need to get this over with quickly.
"I'm Samuel, the Angel of Water. There isn't much to say about me so I'll just get to know you better once were all in the living world again, okay?"
I nodded and sent a smile in his direction.
"Hey, I'm Debrah. The Angel of Darkness. Most Angels like the things that they are the Angels of." She said with a smile. Her hair and eyes were black.
"Woah. I just noticed that." I said my eyes wide, "Sorry I can be a bit slow at times."
"Its okay. I'm sure you want to be with your family again so I'll talk with you later."
A woman with brown-ish red hair and light blue eyes walked to me.
"I'm Allison, the Angel of Air. Since I'm the last one you've spoken with you're probably tired of this so I just hope once we are on Earth we can converse some more. For now I will let you decide who you wish to accompany you back." And she walked away.
They all stood in a row in front of me. The choice was between Gabrielle, Mars, and Ashley. Gabrielle because she could explain it, Mars because he would be useful, and Ashley because she warned me about Derek. Mars could come later. Now it was deciding between Ashley and Gabrielle.
Authors note: So I hope that was good enough and I actually have an idea for the next chapter but I need you guys to help me decide who goes with Chloe first. I'm going to be updating every 2 weeks I hope around the same day. I know this chapters shorter that usual but the idea came to me and now I can't decide who should go with Chloe. So please tell me who you think should go with her cause I'm indecisive.
