AN: The Internet was playing games with me and stopped working, so I decided to word on the next chapter. Thank you to all who reviewed and the new reviews. I would put your names in this chapter but my Internet decided to mess with me so I'll put them in the next chapter.

Peace. What did that even mean? How could we be at peace when Derek was out to kill me? I looked at him on the other side of the car. It was twilight and the dim light made his green eyes seem brighter and caused them to sparkle. There was no denying it. He was really cute. He caught me looking at him and smiled. I blushed and looked away. Hoping in the creeping darkness he couldn't see my red face. He made a quiet noise. It took me a minute to realize he was laughing.

"What's so funny?" I demanded.

He smiled broader and laughed out loud this time. "You."

"Oh, yeah!" I shot back. "What about me?"

"That look on your face a minute ago. Such deep concentration." He shrugged his shoulders. "You just looked so serious. I've never seen you that serious before." He smiled again. "What were you thinking about?"

I thought a minute. I decided it didn't matter whether or not I lied to him. There was no way he could possible feel anything for me. "You."

"Me?" His eyebrows arched in surprise. "What about me?" Using the same words I had just used.

"I was just thinking about how cute you are." I looked at him, trying to gauge his reaction. He still looked surprised. He swallowed and kept his eyes on the road.

"Yeah, right."

"I'm serious. I think you're really cute."

He glanced at me briefly. Trying to see if I was lying to him. I guess he didn't like seeing the truth because he faced forward again.

"I doesn't matter," he said, "You as good as dead anyway."

Chloe was driving me crazy. With her comments, her sacrifice, her questions. If this kept up I'm not sure I… I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I didn't want to think about that. Instead I thought about saving the world from dangerous magic wielders. But those thoughts quickly turned south when I realized I'd be riding the world of Chloe. Sweet, innocent Chloe. I surrendered my thoughts to her. She was beautiful. Her blue eyes so wide and lovely. Her blonde hair with red streaks to make her look tough. I looked over at her and was surprised to see her crying.

"Hey, what's the matter?" I asked, pulling the car over.

She turned and looked at me. Tears fell from those blue eyes and down her pale cheeks. "How can you ask me that? You're taking me to my death. How could I not be crying?"

I reached my hand out and touched her cheek. "I..I'm sorry." I didn't know what else to say.

Derek placed his hand on the side of my cheek. With his thumb he wiped away my tears. I could see in his eyes how sorry he was. That my words had hit him hard. But it still didn't make up for the fact that he was taking me to die. I leaned into his hand anyway. I closed my eyes and felt more tears slip out, that Derek immediately wiped away.

"Ssh." He said softly. He leaned forward, until we were a breath away. He was so close, like he was going to kiss me. Did I want him to kiss me? I did. I did want him to kiss me. He leaned closer and his lips….kissed my forehead. Kind of like a brother would do. He pulled back and I tried to keep the disappointment off my face.

"I wish I could take you back. I wish you didn't have to die." He said

"Then don't. Take me back. Save me."

He shook his head sadly, his black hair falling in his face. "You don't understand, it's not that easy."

AN: I'm sorry it's so short. It's just a bit of fluff. Sort of. The next chapter will be longer. Hope you liked it any way.
