Well, hello. I had an interesting past week. Bonus, I found $10 on the floor at school. Which is great! I will definately buy a new book, thank you unfortunate sucker who lost the money :D and I had to add in Dain getting shot to include in HIS power advances.
So this disclaimer actually happened between me and a friend of mine and I just had to put it in because it works so well.
DISCLAIMER: *I log into MSN and see that my friend is online*
Me: Hi
Him: Hey
Me: What's up?
Him: *He sees my display picture* Nm, love the pic.
Me: I know it's a picture of a cartoon Derek *Adds in the heart emoticon*
Him: lol
Me: He's my fictional soul mate.
Him: lol. I am sure he loves you.
Me: No he doesn't. He loves Chloe the necromancer. Ah... well I am only human.
Oh this would so be a great disclaimer for chapter 35! I don't own Darkest Powers it belongs to Kelley Armstrong.
Him: Oh GOD this again!
Me: I know *Adds in smiley face*
Chloe's Point of View
Derek was the first one who stated the obvious, "He's dying."
"No shit sherlock. What do we do about that though?" Rae said.
Andrew walked up and inspected Dain while Tori got rid of the portal.
"If Bailey doesn't come back this second he will die. The bullet was accelerated by magic to do more damage." Andrew said.
"Speaking of which, WHAT happened to my daughter?" Kayson asked, shouting on the word what.
"She's frozen." Rae said.
"Meaning...?" Kayson asked.
"MEANING SHE IS FROZEN." Rae shouted.
"My girlfriend is FROZEN?!" Simon shouted.
"His heartbeat is getting weaker..." Derek said.
"Why aren't we doing anything!?" I shouted.
"We can't! He is too badly hurt. Anything we do will prove to be futile." Tara said.
Seconds later Derek's face looked blank and I was about to ask why when I saw that Dain had stopped all natural movement. He wasn't breathing because there wasn't the natural rise and fall of his chest to indicate that he was, Derek had heard Dain's heart stop and the bleeding was slowing because there wasn't anymore blood being pumped throughout his body.
No.. Dain...
"He's dead..." Rae whispered.
"Oh please. Like you care." Tori said.
Rae got up and shoved Tori, I would have thought that Rae would have used her powers or something but nope there weren't any burn marks on Tori's skin.
"Shut up." Rae said. "Of course I care. He wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for me and he put himself in the path of a bullet for me, that bullet was meant for me. Guess who shot him? Your mother. So you know what? I care, and now unfortunately so do you."
"At least I didn't betray anyone." Tori said.
"No, you just knocked someone out in a crawl space." Rae said.
"That i—" Tori started but was cut off by Johnny.
"Look!" Johnny shouted, he pointed to Dain's body.
All the veins in Dain's body became more pronounced and started rippling. At the area where he had been shot the blood was drying and his skin regrew back until it looked completely normal. His pale skin was now turning pinker in colour.
Derek's eyes widened and he said, "His heart is beating again."
Sure enough a minute later there was the steady rise and fall of Dain's chest.
Dain's eyes opened slowly and he blinked a few times as if he was just waking up.
This time Anne pointed out what was on everyone's mind, "OH MY GOD!" Anne screamed.
"I have an awful headache." Dain said.
"Y-Y-Y-You just d-died." I said, stuttering.
Dain looked at me confused and then looked himself over and saw that he wasn't injured.
"What happened to my gun shot wound?" Dain asked. "Not that I'm complaining."
The only thing that was there now was a deep, thick and ugly looking scar.
"Um.... it... something... yea... WHAT THE HELL DID HAPPEN!?" Rae asked, the blood on her shirt was now dried up.
"He just resurrected." David said.
"Yes, I know I came back from the dead. I am confused on the how though." Dain said.
"When they said advanced powers they weren't kidding." Bailey said.
All our heads snapped towards the direction of her voice.
She was just beginning to stand up and there was a deep cut on the upper left part of her arm that had slightly charred flesh around the edges.
"You were frozen..." Rae whispered.
"Long story short right before you went through the portal a certain half-demon whose name escapes me threw this incinerating flame thing trying to get you guys but you had already went through the portal so it rebounded off the portal and hit the block of ice I was frozen in, it didn't hurt me but it melted the ice in seconds then I fell out slightly weak, Tori's mother threw a fireball at me which hit my left arm and by the way it hurts like a bitch and then I found a sharp piece of wood and threw it at her head... by the way she is probably blind in her right eye." Bailey said.
"Shame we won't be able to watch her freakout..." Rae said.
Following Rae's comment both Kayson and Simon ran up to Bailey and started hugging her and inspecting her for any more injuries.
"We have to clean this cut up." Simon said.
"Or I can just do this." Kayson said, he then healed Bailey, and sagged down into the couch when he was done.
"Dad? Are you okay?" Bailey asked.
"Fine. Just... someone get... me... some water." Kayson panted.
Tara went and got him some water.
After he drank it he said, "Sometimes advanced powers have their advantages."
"Speaking of which, Dain came back from the dead?" Bailey asked, looking at him.
"He has advanced necromancer powers, it only makes sense. In necromancer mythology there was the tale of a necromancer who had the power of resurrection." David said.
"So now we believe in fairytales?" Dain asked, sarcastically.
"When they make sense, yes." David said, smiling.
"Great... we are all alive so can we please find Rae some clothes because she looks worse than Carrie did at the prom." Sierra said.
"All the blood is making my nose sting." Derek said.
"Bailey and I will take care of Rae, talk to eachother." Anne said, she grabbed both Rae and Bailey and they all went to her room.
"Does this make me immortal?" Dain asked.
"Technically speaking, no, because you do die but come back to life. What I think you mean is, will you ever stay dead? For that I am not sure but we will need to research." David said.
"I really do not want to be immortal. That would S-U-C-K, SUCK." Dain said.
"Most people would love to be immortal, and you wouldn't?" Tori asked.
"Nope, we all have to die eventually, death teaches those left behind about loss, pain, and grief. Things we all need to learn in order to survive, that, and I don't want to be around when the sun blows up." Dain said.
"According to the tale, the scar will never fade, it will be a mark of your ordeal." David said.
"Yeah yeah." Dain said, getting up. "I am going to take a shower. I happen to dislike the smell of corpse."
After that we all went off to do our own thing. I went to my room for a small nap.
I woke up to Rae saying "Open the damn door!"
I got up and opened the door for her and she walked right in. She looked better though, she didn't have any more blood on her and she was in clean clothes.
"Jeez, take any longer why didn't you?" Rae said.
"Hello to you to." I said.
"Oh hi." Rae said.
"So..." I said.
We sat down on my bed.
"I'm sorry." Rae said.
"Continue..."
"I was an idiot. I didn't even notice anything was wrong when it was right in front of me and because of that I caused so many problems for everyone." Rae said.
"Yes you did. What was even going through your mind when you betrayed us all like that?" I asked.
"I didn't believe things were as bad as you said they were. I just thought that you misunderstood, and I was stupid. Very very stupid and I am not above grovelling in order to get your forgiveness." Rae said.
"You're forgiven by me, but if you ever betray me again I will feed you to the sharks. Or worse, Tori." I said.
"Okay." Rae said, she hugged me.
Anne walked in and said, "Aww that is so cute! Some sisterly love."
Rae looked at Anne like she was studying something and then said, "Your left ear is bigger than your right."
I started laughing, Dain said almost the same thing.
"UH! WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP SAYING THAT!?" Anne screamed and walked out.
"Everyone is stating the truth?" Rae asked.
I smiled and said, "Dain said that to her when he first came here."
"When he first came? So he wasn't here when you guys got here?" Rae asked.
"Nope, I showed up randomly in his apartment as the ghost of myself." I said.
"Uh... what?" Rae asked.
"Yup, I have some wicked advanced powers and since he's a necromancer we were connected by our magic. It was kind of embarrassing because I showed up naked... Derek didn't like that very much." I said.
"Uh... what?" Rae asked again.
"By the way, Derek and I love eachother." I said.
"UH... WHAT!?" Rae shouted.
"You missed a lot. So... care to fill me in on what I missed?" I asked.
"My powers have gotten a lot more powerful. That is pretty much all." Rae said. "So what is Dain's story?"
"You like him don't you?" I asked.
"Maybe..." Rae said.
"Rae and Dain sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Kaeden sang. He ran in and jumped into Rae's arms.
"Hello Kaeden." I said.
"Hi. What are we talking about?" Kaeden asked, trying to sound grown up.
"Dain." I said.
Kaeden frowned and looked at Rae.
"Aww.... do you have a little crush on Rae?" I asked. I couldn't help it, I used a baby tone, it was just so adorable.
"NO!" Kaeden said, pouting.
"Don't be mean to him Chloe." Rae said, ruffling his hair with her hand.
"Tara said that the food is almost ready, and that everyone should go to the kitchen to eat." Kaeden said.
"Okay tell her that we will be there in a few minutes." Rae said.
Kaeden jumped up and ran to the kitchen.
"That is so cute!" I said, laughing.
"Oh, whatever!" Rae said.
"Dain has some competition." I said. "My gosh, getting the girl is never easy for that boy."
Rae looked at me confused.
"Everyone thought for a little while that Dain wanted me to be his girlfriend. Don't worry it proved to be untrue." I said.
"This is like a supernatural soap opera." Rae said.
"Not really, because the in-between time is dull." I said.
"Oh yes, because the near death experiences are soooo boring." Rae said, putting both hands to the side of her face.
"Rae! Chloe! Food!" Kaeden shouted.
"The young prince beckons." I said.
Rae then, so kindly I might add, pushed me off the bed.
We both got up and went to the kitchen. Everyone was already there. There were two seats left, one was right in between Tori and Derek, the other in between Dain and Kaeden. I took the one next to Derek, Rae was going to have a fun meal.
The adorable little 5 year old spent the entire meal trying to get Rae to not talk to Dain and Dain spent the entire meal laughing every single time Kaeden couldn't manage it. Derek even whispered to me "I think that the five year old is the better choice."
For whatever reason Derek still didn't like Dain very much.
Later on when it was just Dain and I in the living room Liz popped in to talk to us.
"Hello! Hello! Can you hear me now? That was SO Kim Possible! You know the O BOYZ or the OH BOYZ or however the hell you spell it. So HELLO!?" Liz said.
"Hi Liz." I said.
"Hey Mizzy Lizzy." Dain said.
"Hey!" Liz shouted.
"Gr..." Dain growled.
"Dude, that is so not a growl. This is a growl, GRR..." Liz said.
"Growling contest! GO LIZ!" I shouted.
"What's going on in here?" Caleb asked, coming in.
"Liz and Dain are having a growling contest." I said.
Caleb rolled his eyes and growled, seriously growled. Liz, Dain, and I jumped back.
"I win." Caleb said, leaving to go get some food in the kitchen.
"I think our poser growls were annoying him." Liz said.
"Uh huh. So I want to go to bed at a reasonable time tonight so care to share why you are here?" Dain asked.
"I know when my spirit is going to move on." Liz said.
I was kind of sad, I would miss Liz but I knew she had to move on at some point.
"When?" Dain asked.
"When the last two things are done. We need to get justice for my death and my body needs to be found and identified." Liz said.
"Easier said than done." Dain said.
"So we need to find out who killed me and where they dumped my body." Liz said.
"That means we have to deal with The Edison Group first." I said.
"We are starting planning tomorrow with the information that Bailey collected. Tonight though, we need to SLEEP." Dain said, emphasizing the word sleep.
"He is right, NIGHTY NIGHT DON'T FIGHTY FIGHT!" Liz said, then faded out.
"You were so rude!" I shouted at Dain.
"What!?" Dain asked, he gave me a confused look.
"You couldn't wait to get her out and get your precious sleep!" I shouted.
"Okay I am going to go tell Derek you're freaking out and for him to come here." Dain said, backing out slowly and running once he got out of the room.
A few minutes later Derek came into the room.
"What's wrong?" Derek asked.
Liz is going to move on, she is one of my friends and I don't want her to be truly gone but she needs to move on, I can't ask her to stay because it is selfish and Dain is trying to limit what already limited time I have with her.
"Nothing." I said.
"I heard you freaking out and Dain showed up scared when he asked me to talk to you." Derek said.
"So...?" I said.
"So... that is not nothing." Derek said.
"Fine. Alright. When this is all over Liz is going to move on. She is a ghost and is never really truly gone because she isn't to me, she isn't truly dead to me because I can see her and talk to her. But when she moves on, she will be. Maybe it's selfish but I don't want to lose her, she's my friend and I trust her and damn I just wish she wasn't dead okay? I wish that after this was all over she gets to grow up and have a family and be friends with all of us. But no, she doesn't get that option." I said, starting cry.
Derek pulled me into a hug and whispered, "It will all be okay."
"How do you know?" I asked, my voice was slightly muffled by the tears and his shirt.
"I don't. It's just what I am supposed to say." Derek said.
Review, please.
