Ello! It's Macaela. I just got done dying a purple streak in my hair, so I'm writing the author's not. My head hurts because my brother is painting his room next to my room and the smell is terrible. So, I'm gonna write this, then go outside. J But I'll probably add on…

What's up? Okay, so today is Monday. I have a purple streak in my hair and I'm on web chat with Amanda. Supposedly, we were gonna go to Katy, but now we aren't because of my 'attitude' that supposedly needs 'adjusting.' And I'm sitting here, thinking what the fuck is wrong with my attitude. Because, reason being, my brother threatened me. So I blow up at him and he acts all innocent and I'm the one to blame. Please tell me if this is normal or not. I really, really want to know.

Okay, so I am gonna try and work on the chapter… We will have some Chloe's POV, and some Kit's POV. I love writing in Kit's POV so I will mostly do him from now on. With some mix in of Chloe, possibly Simon.. J]

And now, since we don't own anything, on to the chapter!

Chloe's POV

Derek and I were fixing to head back to our quarters for the night, when Tori asked to borrow a shirt. I agreed to let her get one and she followed us back. Knowing where it was, she just grabbed it and made her merry way towards the door.

Tired and wanting sleep, I crawled into bed where Derek held me in his strong arms.

As Tori opened the door, we viewed Aunt Lauren standing in the doorway. She looked at Tori leaving with my shirt, then at me and Derek.

"Chloe?" she growled between clenched teeth. "Please tell me you are not sleeping with that mutt?"

Something clicked in my brain as she called him a mutt that just set me off. "He is not a mutt!" I shouted back at her.

Derek cringed a little, due to the close proximity of my yelling and his werewolf hearing.

I must have sent her off the deep end with that, for she started yelling at us. Mostly Derek. As she finished, she said, "Chloe. Pack your stuff and come to my room. We need to talk."

Then she walked out of the room, nothing else said.

Sighing, I crawled out of Derek's arms and began to pack my stuff. He looked at me a little dejected, so I said, "Der, I'm gonna stay with her tonight and try and talk to her. Even if she doesn't agree, I promise I'll be back tomorrow night."

I didn't really want to stay away from Derek tonight, but I had to make Aunt Lauren see reason. It hurt me knowing that I had to choose. That I really, truly had to choose between my aunt and my mate.

Derek, seeing I was upset, nodded. He looked a little worried though. And in his thoughts, I could see that with Aunt Lauren stabbing Jess, it was an iffy decision to let me go.

His thoughts were still a whirlwind of worry as I was about to leave, so I attempted to soothe him. "I'll be okay. Tori's right in the next room. And I'll scream if anything happens and you'll hear me."

He nodded reluctantly and dropped the subject. And with that, I left the room for the night and drowsily made my way to Aunt Lauren's chambers where a lecture probably awaited.

Exhausted from the long lectures, I slipped into the side of Aunt Lauren's bed that was empty and said good night to Derek. I was in his shirt and he had my bear. It took a while, but I finally fell asleep, my mind blank.

I was awoken by movement. It wasn't jostling of the bed, or someone shaking me awake. It was me being pulled from the bed and being moved somewhere. Opening my eyes shakily, I looked around. We were outside the building, and Aunt Lauren was putting me into a car.

I looked at the clock on the dash. It read 7:23. What in the world is Aunt Lauren thinking?

She mustn't have noticed I was awake, so I mumbled an 'Aunt Lauren' to catch her attention.

"Yes, Hun?" she said.

"What are— Where are you taking me?"

"Don't worry about that. Okay?"

"Uh…"

"Good. Now just chill. Everything is fine."

An uncomfortable silence took over then. And it wasn't long before Aunt Lauren told me we were reaching our 'destination.' I asked where that was, and she didn't tell me. Just said that I'll know when we get there.

A couple minutes later, I saw where she was taking me. The airport. Why, I don't know. But I knew something was wrong.

"What the hell are we doing here?" I asked her, practically yelling.

"Hun, I think it's time you saw your father. If I can't control you actions now, he at least will. And keeping you from him while he worries, thinking you might never come back to him, is just wrong. I told him I'd take care of you, and that's what I'm doing," she sneered.

"WHAT! You can't take me away from my life! My family!"

"I'm not taking it away. I'm giving it back to you. You're family. You're life."

"That isn't my life anymore. That isn't my family anymore. Sure, Dad is still family. But my family is Kit, Tori, Simon, and Derek. You can't take them away from me. And you can't take me away from them. This is my life. This is my family. I love them."

"It isn't, Chloe. You may have been through a lot with them, but they aren't your family."

"Why are you doing this to me? To them? Is it because I'm with Derek? Is it because Kit got Jessica? Huh?"

"I'm doing it for your own good. Drop the subject. Your dad already knows you're coming home."

During that time, we had parked. And Aunt Lauren was now dragging me to get into the plane. We had been arguing as we checked in and everything. People stared, but we didn't even notice.

As we were about to board the plane, I yelled for Derek. I could tell he just woke up.

Der! Finally your awake! You gotta help me! My aunt took me last night and she said she's bringing me back to my dad! She forced me to go! And now she won't let me out of her sight and I'm afraid of what might happen if I try to sneak off. My dad will want to send me back to a mental institution! Please Der help me!

Aunt Lauren pulled me onto the plane just as I got the last word out and Derek's thoughts turned panicky.

Kit's POV

It had only been one day and one night and Jess was being released from the hospital. Being shaman, she healed faster. Faster than werewolves. So she was fine. The doctors couldn't figure out who it happened, but they released her after they were sure she was fine.

So now, I was signing her out while she waited next to me in a wheel chair. (A/N: Aww… My puppy is sleeping snuggled up to my side. And she's snoring! So adorable… I had to put that in here. :D) Just as I was about to finish the last of the paperwork, my phone vibrated, alerting me of a call.

Checking Caller ID, I saw it was Derek. I let the call slide, thinking he was just checking on Jessica and went back to the paperwork. Just as I was putting pen to paper, he called again. This time, I answered.

"Hello?"

"Dad? Lauren took Chloe. She's taking her back to her dad," he said, panicked and worried.

"Oh, no. Okay… Um… Well, I'm signing Jess out now. How long ago did this happen?"

"Just a while ago. But they're already on the plane to Buffalo…"

"Okay. Get Simon and Tori up. I'm gonna finish here, and we'll come pick you up and head back to Buffalo. I had anytime round trip tickets so we can pay the hotel bill and leave. Pack everything and have it ready."

"Okay…"

Derek hung up then, probably frantic and wanting to get to Chloe.

I went back to the very last bit of paperwork and finished up. Jess and I then went outside to the car and hightailed it out of the parking lot back to the resort where we would then pay for our rooms and head back to Buffalo.

Okay, so what do y'all think? I am trying to find an online store to buy Kelley's Otherworld series from. I will probably go with Barnes & Noble, them being the cheapest I can find at the time. Books-A-Million is twice as much… Anywhere I could look that has them and accepts ?

Anyway… We have, like, a lot of reviews for each account. It'd be awesome if y'all could give us some more, please. Reviews make us happy people. J So, review please?
