I don't even know what to say anymore…..I am sad to see the story go but I can't keep continuing it forever. I thought 30 was a pretty decent number to stop at. But I will use this as the last chapter and then chapter 30 will be an epilogue.

Jasmine's POV

I walked out of the apartment with William and led him to the elevator. We both heard Chloe and Sophia squeal too. This is interesting…

"So…I don't know my way around town but I am sure you could show me" William said turning to me when we got on the elevator.

"Yes, I would love to" I responded. I don't really know how to act around guys. I mean I never dated, or showed interest in any guy but that human.

"Thank you. Tell me about yourself? I would love to hear it" He asked. Just then I actually blushed, never really did that before.

"Well, there's not much to tell" I answered.

"Come on, I am positive you could think of something" He said encouraging, and he held my hand…..I am nervous. I have gone up against assassins, killers, and my mom, but this boy is the one to make me nervous. We talked for the whole ride down the elevator and all William wanted to talk about was me. I wanted to get to him. (You already know Jasmine's story, so I'm skipping it). When the elevator stopped I pulled us out and walked out of the building. We walked hand and hand deeper into the the city. We stopped at a small, mildly fancy restaurant in the center of the town. I finally got him to start talking about himself. We sat down and ordered some water. We talked for hours on end. Laughing, joking around and learning more about each other until there was nothing left.

Alek's POV

The minute Chloe knew Jasmine was out of hearing distance and in the elevator she scrambled to grab her phone. She and Sophia were calling Amy. We should probably work on Chloe's hearing more, because Jasmine probably heard all the noise coming from the two girls. I looked over to Ryan to see him doing the same thing I was, covering our ears. Of course they put Amy on speaker…

So I thought, this time, it's the guys turn to mess with the girls.

I walked over to Ryan, keeping my eyes on the girls in the living room.

"You want to have some fun?" I asked with a mischievous grin on my face. I had the same grin, we knew what to do.

We walked over to the girls and rested our arms on their shoulders. While standing behind them, we each kissed our girl's friend's cheeks. They looked at us for a split second until returning to their girl nonsense with the phone and Amy. Ryan and I exchanged glances once more before continuing. I snaked my hands down Chloe's arms and snatched the phone. I had the phone in my hand and it defiantly got the girls attention. The jumped up and shrieked. I was already away from Chloe, standing about 5 feet away. Ryan, sadly but funny, wasn't and was flipped over the chair and Sophia's shoulder when she had got up. He hit the ground on his back. He quickly jumped up and shouted: I'm ok!

Everyone was staring at him and laughing. Sophia walked over and hugged him, still laughing anyway. Then we all realized Amy was shouting at us through the phone, clearly confused.

"GIVE ME MY PHONE ALEK!" Chloe yelled.

"Oh, I see now…Alek stole your phone Chloe! Was he distracting you by his good looks? Or kissing you? You did say you could get lost when kissing him!" Amy said. We all had listened, and Ryan and I we laughing very very hard.

"AMY! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO SECRETS? I WILL NEVER LIVE THIS DOWN! Not to mention his ego just got like a million times bigger!" Chloe yelled across the room into the phone. I had the biggest smirk ever on my face. I love it when Chloe was mad. Sophia was standing in front of Ryan, with a very surprised face by what Amy said. Ryan fell on the chair laughing.

"Oops, that slipped out…" Amy said. By her voice, anyone could tell she was smiling and trying hard not to laugh.

"Well than, talk to ya later Amy" I said staring Chloe in the eyes. I ended the call. She was still mad.

"Now can I have my phone?" She asked in her most deceptive voice. It won't work from across the room, I thought.

"Let's see…no…but if you would like to kiss me you can, don't get lost though." I responded in my cocky British voice. I stuck Chloe's phone in my back pocket. She eyed her phone, but quickly looked back up when she saw where I was putting it.

"Good job Amy…" She mumbled. Sophia started to walk over to Chloe, probably to make a plan. I nodded slightly to Ryan to get Sophia. He got up and then pulled Sophia's arm and took her back into his chest. He turned them against the wall and made sure that Sophia could not get out. Ryan had pinned Sophia against the wall like I had to Chloe when I tried to kiss her… (drifted off into thought)…

Once I snapped out of thought I realized I was face down on the ground with Chloe locking my in position. How in the world did she do that? Me? Alek Petrov was pinned down, face down, on the ground by a girl almost a foot smaller than himself. She had my hands behind my back and her knees by my side.

"Dreaming about me?" Chloe asked deceptively, snaking her hand towards her phone in my back pocket.

"Depends, are you enjoying this right now? Yours hand seems to be." I said.

"That's just wrong Alek, and you were! Plus you aren't really in the position to be talking like that" She responds. She can't get away with this. When she has her phone in her hand and in the air, I take control of the position. She was at her weakest with just one hand. I flip over onto my back and grab her wrists holding them in the air. She still has her knees by my sides but she can't move with her wrists being held and the risk of dropping her phone. I'm so loving this, her face is priceless, and I'm smirking like crazy.

I can feel her using all of her strength to try and get control again, but I am still a lot stronger than her. I flip us over so I am on top over her now. She drops her phone when I did but I catch it with one hand and set it on the ground next to her head. I hold her hands above her head but on the ground. Her legs are straight out and my knees are now by her hips (she is shorter).

"Now can I talk like that?" I ask, smirking! She finally smiles and shakes her head. We are both kind of tired.

"And you were right, I was thinking about you. I always am. They way Ryan had Sophia against the wall reminded me of the time in the hall way." I told Chloe. She blushes, smiles, and tries looking somewhere other than me. But she fails, it is a little impossible with me being on top of her and everything. I let go of her arms and lean down to kiss her. She swings her arms around my neck and gently pulls my body down to hers until we are pressing against each other. It's a nice, long, gentle, sweet kiss.

"I love you Chloe" I whisper once we pull apart.

"I love you too" Chloe says with her very gentle, soothing voice.

I got up and offered my hand to help Chloe up. She takes it and I pull her up to me. When she's up, our chests are touching. She blushes and steps back, letting go of my hand. We stand there staring into each other's eyes for a minute. We turn to see Ryan making out with Sophia. That explains why it was so quiet…. Chloe clears her throat and Ryan jumps back.

"Ok then…" I say.

"You got your phone?" Sophia asks.

"Yup" Chloe answers

"Let's go" Sophia says

"Come on" Chloe agrees, and the girls kiss their boyfriends on the cheeks quickly before running off to the guest bedroom to call Amy back.

Jasmines POV

Best night of my life! Probably, I mean, it's a lot better than being attacked by assassins. Me and William stand outside my apartment door kissing. We have so much in common. Than it all stops…

Chloe walks out and gasps.

"Sorry!" She says, and quickly closes the door and runs back into the apartment. I step away from William.

"Thanks for showing me around town" he says.

"No problem, anytime." I respond

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow" he says.

"Yea, good night" I tell him.

"Night" he says before kissing my cheek and walking into his apartment, it is right next to mine…

I walk into my apartment, then Chloe and Sophia run over to me, leaving Alek and Ryan upset.

"How was it!" Sophia squeals.

"Great! But I am tired, I will talk about it tomorrow" I answer them. I walk away before they can ask more questions.

"From either kissing too much or walking around…" Chloe says sort of quietly.

"Heard that!" I yell from my room before I close the door.

Alek POV

"Come on Chloe, I will take you home" I stand up and say.

"K" She responds. I go open the door for her and we walk out. It's a quiet way to her house; we just enjoy the cold night and each other's company. I walk her up to her door step, kiss her on the cheek, and go to the roof. I listen as she says good night to her mom and comes to her room. She opens her window and climbs up to the roof. Chloe lies down next to me and I lay back.

"Can I go for a run?" Chloe asked.

"I have to come with you" I told her.

"Ok, come on" she said getting up. I don't question her; she would probably do it anyway. She starts jumping on the roofs with me a safe distance behind her. I could tell she wanted to think, and every Mai knows running on roofs help thinking. I still have to protect her though. Then, something happens. Out of nowhere, an arrow comes slicing through the air into Chloe's side. The hunter runs off but is too far away to save Chloe and kill him. I sprint up to the girl lying helplessly on the roof with an arrow in her side. Her claws are out but her hands are grabbing her side. She yelling in pain but get her to stop. I call Valentina with great urgency.

"Yes Alek?" She answered

"Chloe has been shot with an arrow! We are on a roof but I can manage to get her to you, be ready!" I yell into the phone. Then I quickly shove the phone into my pocket and try picking Chloe up. My hands are covered in her blood, and my shirt and my pants. It's killing me to see her like this but I need to get her to Valentina.

"Hold on Chloe, we will be to Valentina in no time at all. Stay with me, I will help you." I say running towards to get off the roofs and into the apartment building. Her claws were scratching her side and made it worse. She is losing lots of blood. Her claws are now digging into my arms. It hurts but there is no way I would care, Chloe has an arrow in her side!

Chloe's POV

I have felt pain…lots of it…but not like this. I realize I have made everything worse with my claws. I hope I didn't hurt Alek at all. I hear his voice before I probably die, so I know it him carrying me and not the person who shot me. And there it is…the bright white light. I am dead.

Wait…I am here again. In the forest, the flowers, the waterfall, the rocks. It's all the same. There's the finishing touch, Basset in cat form. I kneel down and bow to her. She comes over and puts her paw on my hand.

"Get up. Don't you remember what I said will happen the next time I see you?" Basset asks.

"My…mm…my parents, you said I would meet my birth parents." I said. Am I actually going to meet them?

"Yes, that is correct. It is the life you have lost. Look" She says and points with her tail…a man and a woman walk over. I stand up in shock. Is that them…? They're about in their early 30's, the man with brown hair and dark blue eyes, and the woman with blond hair and light blue eyes. I gasp…

"Hello" I say quietly "Mom? Dad?" I ask.

"Yes Chloe, we are your parents." My dad answers. I run over and hugs them crying. They hug me too, my mother cries with me.

"You have and still are becoming a fine young lady! We have watched Meredith care for you, she did very well. You are so beautiful!" My mom exclaims, tears of joy running down her cheeks. I have a wide smile. We all do. I wipe away my mom's tears and she wipes away mine.

"I love you" I say hugging them, then let go to look at their faces "I never thought I would meet you until I die…well my last life" I said, giggling at what I said.

"I know honey, it feels like forever. Alek, he's a good guy, he will protect you, he will love you, and he will always be there for you. Don't ever think he won't. I know it was hard growing up not knowing, than falling 'in love' with humans, but you have made the right choice with Alek. Don't hurt him" My mother told me. I nodded my head.

"Your mother is right. He will help you through this. Promise you will believe him when he says he loves you and will never leave your side?" My father asked.

"I promise!" I said happily. "Um…so you know everything that I have ever done?" I wondered

"That's correct. But now that you have met us you can't think any less of Meredith, she has done very well and will continue" My mother said.

"Wait! Mom, you…" I remembered what Basset told me about what had happened with my mother. I turned to Basset, "Did you tell her?" I asked pointing to my mother.

"Yes Chloe, yes I did. She knows what I did for her" Basset answered.

"And I am very very grateful, more than I could ever be. She told me when I had died in my Mai life. I could never repay her now, but she is Basset, so she knows what will happen" My mother responded.

"OK! And dad? What kind of important leader were you?" I asked.

"Wow you told our daughter everything" he said to Basset, and then turning to me "I had one of the most important jobs a Mai could have. I was in the Mai council, and leader of the Ukraine tribe. But most of all, I was going to be protector of the Unitor if, well she, was in the generation. I did my job well, I protected you. Same as Alek will." He informed me.

"Is he going to die doing that?" I asked scared.

"That is not to be told" Basset answered walking over, "But I am sorry everyone, Chloe has to wake up now" I looked at my parents and hugged them one last time. They kissed me one the cheek before stepping away.

"Good bye once again Chloe King, daughter of Rebecca and Sam King, and Unitor of the races" My father said walking backwards. They turned around and walked a few steps before disappearing.

"Rebecca and Sam…" I whispered "…my parents…"

"Come Chloe, people are waiting" Basset told me.

"Ok" I said. My mind was still on my parents though.

Alek's POV

I busted through the doors of the apartment. I laid Chloe down on the table and Valentina and Jasmine started working. I paced back and forth in the room. Sophia and Ryan were ordered to look after Chloe's mom so they weren't here. Valentina was shouting things for Jasmine to do. They had already cut Chloe's shirt and shorts off. Now cleaning up all the blood so they could see what they could do. William and his parents slammed the door open making me jump but not the two women working on the Unitor.

"Alek! Go get cleaned up!" William's mom yelled at me.

"But I have to be here for Chloe!" I yelled back. I couldn't leave!

"I doubt Chloe wants to wake up and see her blood on your shirt, and well everywhere" Williams dad said. He had a good point, she wouldn't like that.

"Dude! What happen to your arm?" William asked.

"Um…nothing" I mumbled.

"Come on, I'm helping you bandage that" he said pulling me to the bathroom.

"And I can clearly see those are claw marks." William whispered in my ear. I growled. I quickly got cleaned up after William left from bandaging. I ran out of my room.

"How is she?" I asked worryingly.

"Alek…" Jasmine said sadly turning around. She had a few tears rolling down her cheek.

"We did all we could, we got the arrow out but we couldn't do more to help. She lost almost all of her blood." Valentina informed with no expressions at all.

"Oh no…I suck at my job" I said leaning against the wall and sitting on the floor. I put my hand over my face in frustration.

"Alek…you did all you could, your great at your job" Jasmine said.

"Now go get her some clothes" Valentina ordered.

"Can they be mine?" I asked while getting up. She nodded and smiled. I walked into my room and grabbed my basketball hoodie and shorts. I brought them out and gave them to Jasmine. For Chloe, I looked away. I walked over to the living room, even though the name 'living' room really bothers me at this moment, I sat down on the love seat. Wow I am stupid; I sit on a love seat in the living room. Chloe is my love, and she isn't living the moment. I get up from my depressing seat and walk over to the now fully clothed Chloe. I hold her hand and stare at her face, waiting for her to wake up. I stand there for an hour doing that same thing. William is comforting Jasmine, and Valentina and William's parents are talking. But I keep my focus on Chloe.

After the hour goes by Chloe finally start regaining color in her skin. She starts breathing again and her heart starts beating. She takes a sharp breath in to start with and steady's her breathing after. Her eyes flutter open and look into my eyes.

"Thank you Alek" She whispers. She gently squeezes my hand. "Sometimes runs aren't so good" she says smiling. It makes me laugh a little. I love this girl so much. She just wakes up from dying and she is already smiling. Everyone comes over to see her.

"Chloe…" Jasmine gasps. Chloe smiles and wipes the tears off of Jasmines cheek.

Chloe's POV

I remember everything that happens with my parents. No more tears people. I wipe the tears off Jasmine the same as I did with my parents. The parents I just met.

"You think I will be possible for me to get up?" I asked joking around. Everyone smiles at me and laughs a little bit.

"I can carry you?" Alek suggests.

"Wait! My mom thinks I am in bed!" I exclaimed. I sit up but lay right back down from the pain that shot through my stomach. Why do I keep doing that?

"I got to stop doing that" I mumbled.

"I will drive you home, and for protection everyone is coming with me." Valentina ordered. "Alek, Jasmine, William, Ryan and Sophia will all stay the night around Chloe's house."

"Ok" they all agreed. That's going to be interesting…

Alek carried me into the car Valentina drove us all to my house. Again Alek carried me, but this time up a tree through my window into my room. Everyone took positions around the house.

"Alek?" I asked.

"Yes love?" he answered.

"Are these your clothes?" I wondered.

"Yes, yes they are" He said smirking and laughing a little. I looked down at the hoodie and shorts I am wearing. Then I look at him in realization. Each time I die I wake up in different clothes. Oh gosh…

"What is it?" Alek asks.

"What happened to my old clothes?" I asked. We could hear everyone laughing outside.

"Uh…" he says walking back towards the window.

"Snap! That means…you have seen me…in my…bra…" I say. Crap!

"And underwear" he adds be the cocky British guy he always is and smirking like crazy.

"ALEK!" I yell. We hear everyone bust into laughing. Jasmine comes hopping into my room.

"Don't worry Chloe he only helps heal you once, he's just seen you every time like that." Jasmine says laughing. I sit there with my mouth hanging open.

"Jasmine!" Alek yells and hits her with a pillow. I check quickly to make sure I still have the same bra on, yep I'm good.

"But yes Chloe, you only had your bra and underwear on when he helped. You could tell he was distracted…" Jasmine says bursting in laughter.

"JASMINE! Get out!" Alek yells. Jasmine stumbles out the window and with the others laugh more.

"Alek, come here" I say motioning him towards me. He walks nervously over. I smack his arm than put my arms around his neck and kiss him. I was right, I could get lost when kissing him. He sits on the bed next to me, and pulls me closer to him but being aware of my injuries. When we pull apart he rests his forehead on mine.

"Do you really love me?" He asks quietly.

"Yes, and I will never stop." I tell him.

"I love you too, and I will never leave you side" He tells me.

"I know" I say. "I will always believe that" I kiss him one more time before lying down to go to sleep.

"Good night Chloe King" he says. Alek kissed me on the cheek and swooped out the window.

"Until tomorrow" I whisper to myself and fall asleep to the best sleep I have ever had.

Happily ever after! They make the best couple ever! It's soooo cute! Now for my explanation. I would have had this up a month ago, but my mom limited my electronic time to 2 hours a day. That counts using my computer for homework. It lasted the month of December but she says she will do that for now on. She is at work right now so I am using my computer. I had just started working on the last chapter when she limited it. But anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I know, I am three days late…on the bright side I have been working on this for the past three hours, plus like five hours last night! And I finally finished it! PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! I NEED TO KNOW PEOPLE LIKE THE ENDING! (I love how I did the whole Alek, real parents thing, it was cute)…
