The steaming, hot water cascading down was a god-scent. When you had been days even weeks without a shower, it seems you appreciate them even more. I ran my hands through my hair, moaning softly as the strawberry shampoo I used ran through it. I knew I shouldn't take too long; Derek was waiting outside for me. He said because he didn't mind waiting for me but really it was in case I had one of those visions while awake. It hadn't happened…yet…but I guess I would be under surveillance just in case it did happen. What a way to go, casually in the shower and BANG! Slipping over and breaking my neck because some strange vision-thing happened. Not exactly the way I had thought I'd ever die a few months back. But if someone told me that I would fall in love with a werewolf and have a witch and a sorcerer as best friend, then I would walk away thinking that they're nuts. But now I guess if we told anyone the truth…about what was out there then they would think that we deserved to be locked up. Again.

My thoughts travelled back to the last vision I had. I wasn't going to be naïve about them. They weren't dreams, not with the evidence on my body and how vivid they were. Also the reactions that I had, that wasn't a coincidence either. The injection that went straight to my heart contained werewolf venom. I wasn't as thick as that, and if I could figure it out then so could Derek. I squeezed my eyes tight. I didn't know how extent it would go, but it has already changed my strength and speed in only 48 hours. Would it go to an extent where my body would start to flush and have muscle spasms? And then my bones start to shift into the bone structure of a wolf? Even I was worried and that means that Derek's probably panicking and trying to come up with a solution.

Another question was if they were visions or warnings then how was I able to get them? Was it someone with another supernatural power trying to warn me? Or a demon trying to get into my head? I sighed and squeezed my eyes tight. Not only did the venom bring on the strength and the speed but also a change in my personality. Not only with the incident with Lucy, which made me feel like I wasn't in control anymore, but small other changes as well. I felt more confident, more sure of myself. And I felt powerful, which sometimes could be a bad thing. Especially with a genetically modified supernatural that can raise the dead in her sleep.

This was too much worrying this early in the morning, and considering I haven't got a good night sleep in a while, I definitely needed a nice breakfast and something to wake me up.

I leaned down and shut of the water. Grabbing my towel from the rack next to it I wrapped myself up and got another small towel to dry my face and hair. I looked up at myself and gasped. But it wasn't at the huge web-like figure on my chest.

"Chloe? Are you okay?" Without even registering that I was basically naked expect for this towel covering me, I yanked open the door.

Now, don't get me wrong, seeing my boyfriend eyes roam down me like I was actually naked sent tingles down my spine. But my huge smile seemed to shake him out of it.

"Chloe..wha?"

"My hair! Look at my hair!" His eyes shot up and widened a fraction. My hair wasn't that horrible greyish colour that it went after weeks on the run, but my blond that it had been even before Lyle house. I went back inside to the bathroom to look at it in the mirror again. Not only had it gone back to blonde, but it seemed thicker as well.

"Do you think it's changing my physical appearance too?" I asked him, looking at him by his reflection in the mirror. We hadn't had a chance to talk about the venom, but the worry that flashed threw his eyes I knew that he had the same thoughts as mine.

"I'm not sure. It's defiantly changed your strength, speed and reaction. The only things we can base it on is when you're upset or angry. But I guess it could be, considering dye doesn't come out that fast."

"It's thicker too! Or am I just wishing to hard?" Derek stepped behind me and then brought his hands up towards my hair. His eyes met mine and I nodded a little to tell him it was okay. His fingers then started combing through my hair, and my eyes closed in pleasure and made an appreciative noise in the back of my throat.

"It has" Derek's deep voice made me snap open my eyes and they instantly met his green ones. His fingers trailed onto my neck, soft as a feather. He closed his eyes and bent down slightly till his lips were hovering by the part were my neck met my shoulder. I watched his every move, part of me wishing that he would stop and part of me wishing his kiss me already. He lips then met his destination and slowly kissed me there. I leant back on my more, moaning slightly. My breathing was coming out in short pants and my arm went up and grabbed his hair to never get him to stop. I heard his moan at the back of his throat and it nearly made my knees buckle.

Suddenly I was being spun around and his lips crashed to mine. Our lips were frantic against one another. I could feel his fingers digging into my hips, reminding me that the only thing that was covering me was the towel. Everything in my body didn't ever want this to end. My hands fisted into his hair, trying to pull myself closer to him and I could feel how excited he was against me. His tongue traced my bottom lip and I granted him entrance. There were so many things that were making me crave more of him. I could hear the pounding of his heart and his moans that were in his throat. I could feel his lips shape mine, and it wasn't like any other kiss we shared. They were frantic against each other. I could feel his fingers digging into my hips and my fingers tangled in his hair, trying desperately to get him closer to me. His body heat was radiating on me so I felt surrounded and trapped to him. Everything was screaming at me to get him as close as possible, to show him that I belonged to only him. My heart beat was wild, pounding against my chest like it wanted to break through. I was trying to breathe whenever his lips weren't on mine and his tongue wasn't dancing with mine.

My dire need to breathe made me pull away and look into his eyes. The look in his eyes made me shiver in delight. It was hunger. His breathing was ragged just like mine and his eyes. His eyes made me want to forget everything and just carry on till he knew that I belonged to him, knew that I loved him with every fibre of my being.

My hand went onto his chest, which was covered by his shirt. My eyes were focused on my hand and his shirt. I couldn't look into his eyes because I was scared of all these emotions that I was feeling, and the fact that I wouldn't be able to control myself if I could see the hunger in his eyes. I could feel his chest rising with his breathing and my hands fisted his shirt. I could feel his eyes on me, feel that he wanted me to be his.

"We need to stop Derek" I panted. I could feel his heart race against my palm. It was like I could hear his answer even though he didn't say it. He didn't want to stop. He wanted to carry on because he was scared. Scared that we only had a short time left, that we would never be able to express ourselves without something terrible happening. I knew this because I was scared too.

"I'm scared too Derek" I whispered. I carried on looking at my hand fisting his shirt, scared to look in his eyes. Scared what I may see. Would he reject me if I became like him? He already had a hard time dealing with the fact he was a werewolf. A part of me knew I was being stupid, but there was still the tiny insecure Chloe inside somewhere that thought that. That if the vines consumed her that she may change. She may change into a werewolf, which only scared her because of the pain. But what if she changed into something else? Something that the scientists wanted her to be? And that someday she'll be behind a glass watching Derek be tortured. And that he'll be watching me become a monster that even he couldn't help.

Derek crashed me against his body, his face rested in the crook of my neck. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back.

"We'll be okay Derek. All of us will be okay" He nodded against my skin. He tried to pull back but I stopped him keeping him against me longer. I didn't want to lose him. That may have been selfish of me and why he would be tortured – because I was too selfish to walk away. But the sheer thought of losing him, made my heart physically ache. He had been there when I needed him the most. And God help me would I not be there for him when he needed it. That I wouldn't do everything in my power to help him. And a part of me knew that he felt the same, that he always did, which was why he protected me through everything.

We stayed like that for a few minutes and then I pulled back and smiled at him. His hair was all over the place and his shirt was creased everywhere. His appearance made me giggle and he grinned. I was sure my face was as bright as a tomato but at the moment I didn't care.

"You don't look so appropriate either Miss Saunders" He turned me around and I laughed at what I saw. My damp hair was a tangled mess, my cheeks flushed and my towel creased everywhere. He laughed as well with me. I looked at him in the mirror.

"I'll let you have a shower now, it's pure heaven" He smiled at me and went to grab his clothes. I grabbed mine out the bathroom and then walked to place them on the bed. Before Derek went in the shower I called to him.

"Derek?"

"Yeah?"

"I'll wait for you okay?" I told him. He opened his mouth to argue. "Please Derek? I want to wait for you here" He smiled and nodded.

When he came out I was sitting on the bed fully dressed, with my hair in a pony-tail. He looked at me the reached his hand out.

"Together?" My mind went to last night when I asked him to keep me safe. I smiled at him.

"Always"
