Derek- "You don't own us, you know."
Me- "Why do you have to go and rub it in my face, Derek. What'd i ever do to you?"
Derek- "Nothing."
Me- "Exactly. My feelings are hurt now. . . if you kiss me I'm sure I'd feel better."
Derek- Silence, long cough- "Chloe wouldn't be to happy about that."
Me- "Oh, it's always about her isn't it. Well what about me! Huh, what am I?"
Derek- You're just a girl, a human, one who's trying to claim to have made up. But you didn't, Kelley did."
Me- starts tearing up. sniffles. "Oh, now that hurt. . . a lot. And admitting this will be even harder- I do not own Darkest Powers, or Derek Souza, or any other character from this story, but Finn- I own him!"
A/N: Here's Chapter 11, finally! Yeah, hope you like it, please READ and REVIEW, I will forever be gracious. . . I'm thinking that they're won't be many more chapters left. I'm probably not going past 30,000 words. . . because I have other stories I want to write about- more Chlerek, of course, and I'm running out of ideas on how to continue this, I dont really have the best idea on how this is going to end, but I have a vague one, so I hope it works out, but this should be ended by June. . . So hope you like this chapter, it took me FOREVER to finish, and I hope I'll have the next chapter up soon!
what happened in last chapter-
And then they both went out the back of the van leaving me alone.
With Derek.
We stared at each other then.
Blue vs. Green.
And I knew that this conversation was going to be the deal breaker. After all of our fights, and ignoring each other, stealing glances in passing, or the accusations we threw in each direction. Everything one way or another came down to us. Our relationship. The loving one we had before, or the hateful one we had now.
We would have to decide what to do from here.
There was no going back.
Chapter Eleven
Blue and Green Clash
Our eyes locked, and we both were frozen, my breathing seemed to hike up a notch, and his seemed to do the same. Neither of us blinked, and I knew being trapped in this confined space was making him insane, but it have been just what I needed at the moment. I could use this to my advantage. And I was about to until I lost my train of the thought and blinked. It made Derek blink, and he was knocked out of his own personal thoughts, and before I had time to open my mouth he was heading for the back door.
"What do you think your doing?" I asked boldly.
"Leaving." His voice held an edge to it, and he hopped out of the van.
I quickly scampered after him, shutting the door behind me.
Looking around I noticed that neither Simon, Tori, or Finn were anywhere in sight. Where had they gone? And then I seen the patch of woods behind us and my imagination could take care of the rest.
Derek seemed to be heading that way before I ran and stopped right in front of him, making him stop abruptly.
I gave him a look and crossed my arms over my chest.
"What?" he demanded.
"Well, you're just going to leave things like this?"
He looked around. "Like what. . ."
"Like this!" I raised my voice an octave. "Aren't you going to say anything? At all?"
He shrugged and stuffed his hands in his pockets. "What do you want me to say, Chloe?"
I huffed and looked at the ground. "I don't know. Something. . . anything."
And of course he didn't respond to that, just started kicking a rock with his shoe making it collide with the ground and smashing it into little pieces.
He continued that-
Smash
Smash
Smash
- until I couldn't take it anymore.
I sidestepped him and stomped on his shoe the heel of my bare foot as hard as I could, which didn't seem to be hard enough because he just gave me a little look like I was insane.
"I can't feel that, you know," he mumbled.
Yeah, because you're a grumpy werewolf. I remembered when I figured that out, lets just say I spent a few hours in the bathroom hyperventilating.
I sighed and hugged my arms to my body. It was starting to get really cold out now. "Fine just stop kicking the rock. Okay?" I asked.
He didn't respond to my request, just looked into the trees. "It's weird isn't it?" He asked, almost softly.
Which made me snap my head up to look at him. "What's weird?"
"Seeing that tape. Of us. Being like that."
"Yeah, I didn't even no I could kiss like that," I said trying to joke around a bit, lighten the mood.
He didn't crack a smile, not even a tiny one. "Yeah about that." He looked nervous, just a little, but my being able to detect it was enough for me to start to feel nervous too. "I think we should just forget it. The whole thing."
To say I was stunned was an understatement, and to say how heartbroken I felt, well it was indescribable. "Y-y-you mean you want me to pretend that it never happened? Act like we never kissed? That we were never. . . in love?" I asked slowly.
His head turned sharply in my direction. His green eyes boring into mine, narrowing. "We were never in love. We kissed, Chloe, but us. . . the two of us being in love? That was never a for sure thing, never a fact, we might have been together, or we might have just kissed. . .occasionally."
"No, no. We were definitely in love Derek. I know it!"
He came and stood right in front of me, his eyes never leaving mine. He looked like he was searching for something. "And what are you going by, Chloe? A few videos? Some creepy half dead guy, who very well could be just saying that so he can lure us to his uncle to be killed. You don't-"
"You're wrong. You just don't want to deal with it. I know you don't-"
"Just give me one good explanation on how you can be so sure-"
"I just know!"
"That's not an-"
I cut him off by firmly pressing my lips to his- which was hard to do since I couldn't reach him very well and had to jump up, which resulted in Derek catching my in his arms and pressing me against him body. He didn't seem to have any objection to this, and deepened the kiss, pushing his lips harder against mine. The kiss wasn't so soft- desperate in a way, like our bodies were starving for this, but our minds weren't processing what was happening fast enough to stop it.
Everything else just completely fell away- the yelling and fights, the accusations.
And in a way it was strange because it was so familiar.
It was like my first kiss, but in my heart it wasn't, because I had done probably this exact thing before.
A jolt of passing memories went through my mind, they were the most vivid yet- me and Derek holding hands while walking down the street, us laughing, hugging, kissing. A lot of memories were coming back to me, more than ever before, but it still didn't feel right. Like they weren't my memories, like they were someone else's and I was just getting a glimpse into what they thought and did.
And when I wrapped my arms around Derek's neck, almost immediately as if on instinct he lifted me off the ground. The tape went through my head. The one that had the similar scene were we acting out at that moment. Derek must have thought this too because suddenly my feet were back on the ground and he was a few feet away from where I stood. He looked petrified as he stared at me. "That should not have happened."
I felt breathless, but I managed to get what I needed to say out. "Why not? Because you think it's wrong? Or are you just disgusted because you know that you used to love me before, and knowing that now makes you sick, because deep down you know you could never love someone like me?"
Derek looked like he had been struck, but he recovered quickly, or at least he looked like he had. "What are you talking about? When did I ever give you the impression that I was disgusted with you?"
I glared at him. How dare he kiss me back and then act like he didn't pull away because he knew that he really felt nothing for me at all now! "Don't act stupid, you know very well what I'm referring to. The tapes? After we watched them. . .you looked at me. . . And I knew what you were thinking. You were sickened by the very thought of having to kiss me."
He suddenly reached his hand out to me, but I flinched and pulled back shaking my head. I was starting to feel a bit light headed all of the sudden. "Chloe. . . I was disgusted, but-"
"No," I held up my hand. "Don't. You don't need to explain anything, Derek, I'd actually prefer that you didn't. I knew I was right, but just answer me this. . . What did it feel like?"
He looked like he was about to say something, but I cut him off with a look, and he just sighed. "What did what feel like?"
I looked into the forest, unable to meet his eyes. "What did it feel like just now when we kissed. Did it feel familiar to you? At all?"
"Chloe," his voice seemed odd. "Chloe. . .your. . .not. . .safe. . ."
I looked at him. "What?"
"What?" He asked, cocking his head to the side, giving me an odd sort of look.
My eyes were wide. "Why am I not safe?" I wanted to know.
"I didn't say-"
"We'll. . .find. . .you. . ."
A man, in a lab coat was standing right next to Derek, but his form and shape were fading, and his face was contorted. I think I recognized him from somewhere.
Derek, noticing my panic, and stiffness, placed a warm hand on my shoulder. "Chloe, what is it? What's wrong?"
"I-I-I don't. . . it's a ghost, but I haven't seen any of them in so long. It's been at least a few months. . .I thought the medicine would help." I felt tears start to prickle my eyes. I thought I was cured from this nightmare.
"Who is it?" Derek's voice was soft, but demanding.
"I don't know. H-h-he looks somewhat familiar but I can't. . .I can't place him," I pressed my hand to my forehead, I felt a headache coming on, my vision was starting to blur.
The man glared at me. "You. . .did. . .this. . . Chloe. . .you won't get. . .away. . .no escape. . .not this. . .time." And then his figure whirled around and he slammed into me, going right through me and I felt a dizziness come over me.
My body felt like it was shattering.
What was going on?
"Derek," I gasped. "Help."
"Chloe!" Derek's urgent voice was the last thing I remembered.
And then the darkness came over me.
