1Happy New Year guys! Thanks for the comments on the last chapter, they mean a lot! I decided to have Derek be jealous, but not all freaky I'll-break-your-arm-if-you-look-at-my-Chloe jealous. But there will be a fight, just not with Derek. Who else would get in a fight at a school? You're going to have to read and find out. Song of the chapter!

Three Days Grace- The Good Life

The good life is what I need

Too many people skipping over me

The only thing that's been on my minds

The one thing I need before I die

Disclaimer; Sure as hell wish I did, but no I don't own Darkest Powers

I've officially decided I hate school. You wanna know what the funny thing is? I haven't even been in the building yet. Everything is just so loud and all the scents are overwhelming. They all come on strong and at the same time. Perfume, sweaty sneakers, makeup, old text books, and a helluva lot more. I covered my ears with my hands in attempts to drown out the noise. Didn't work God Damn it! I'm not use to all this noise. Damn werewolf senses.

"Derek, are you okay?" Chloe asked. No.

"Yeah, I'm fine,"I mumbled. Then I made my way over to the main office to get my schedule. Of course, Chloe followed. Not that I was complaining.

The office lady looked up and nearly fell backwards. Couldn't say I blame her. I'm about 6'3" and she was only about an inch or two taller than Chloe. I knew I looked intimidating, accepted it even, but the look in her eyes when she saw me... it hurt. I scowled at her

"I'm the new student that was registered this morning, Derek Souza."

"Oh, right, Mr. Souza." She quickly handed me schedule and told me I should get to class. I grunted in response and lead Chloe out of the room. I didn't like the vibes I was getting from that lady, and I would not allow her to hurt my Chloe.

"Your l-last name is S-Souza?" she asked.

"Yep," I replied, popping the 'p.'

Some random kid brushed past me, hitting my shoulder in the process. It didn't hurt, I didn't stumble. But the wolf felt threatened. The boy turned around and gave me a look of disgust and disapproval.

"Watch where your going, freak," he spat. Then he glanced at Chloe and gave her a once-over. I clenched my fists and had to suppress a growl. I could smell her getting angry at the ass hole who just insulted me. I don't like it when she's mad, looks scary, smells scary too.

"You w-watch where you're going R-Royce. Or sh-should I say Seaweed? You are Seaweed and not L-Link for this months play aren't you?" she taunted. What the hell is she talking about?

Whatever it is, he didn't like it one bit. His face contorted in anger before it broke into a cocky smirk.

"Well little miss thang, what do you say you try out for the part of Penny? You know, my love interest. The auditions for the girls are after school." It's official, this guys dead.

We can't let him talk about our Chloe like that! the wolf growled.

I was about to punch the kid in the face when Chloe reached out and put a hand on my arm. She gave me a look that said 'he's not worth it,' and I clenched and un-clenched my fists. She turned back to the boy.

"Royce," she said evenly, "Go fuck yourself." I smiled broadly.

The kid- Royce- stalked away. I chuckled. She turned back to me. "Walk me to class?"

Go with her, she practically told you to. A command, not a question.

So, I did.

You know, this place might not be too bad.

"Has anyone heard anything from the werewolves sent to find him?"Davidoff boomed. We'd been searching for our little runaway wolf for over ten years. We all insist that it's a lost cause and that the searches are hopeless because we're never going to find him, but he's too stubborn to give up. The prick.

"No, Dr. Davidoff, we're afraid that Souza was successful in terminating them," one of my colleges informed him.

Mrs. Enright slammed her hands down angrily on the table making all of us jump. She is a very powerful with that you soon learn not to mess with. An angry bitch witch is not something you want to be around. "Have you idiots got no lead on where this damn mutt could be?" she growled.

Sadly we didn't. I let my mind wander while she demanded that we do a better job at what we were being paid for. How a teenage neanderthal was able to best a group of powerful scientists I'll never know. It would really help if we knew what the boy looked like. All we have is a small faded photo of what the boy looked like at age five. He looked small and quiet, like he knew he was dangerous but didn't want to hurt anybody like his incompetent brothers. Important lesson for young werewolves, never bite the hand that feeds. The boys brothers failed to realize this before they were terminated after brutally maiming one of their nurses. The Souza boy however-I can never remember his first name. Darrel? Damian?- knew better than to go ripping a person to bits with his fangs. Smart little wolf. He looked suspiciously like-

"Dr. Fellows!"

I snapped back into attention. "Yes?"

Davidoff straightened and passed me a small piece of paper. "You're one of our better doctors, let's see you give it a shot. One of the workers we sent after him about a week ago finally managed to get us a more resent photo of our little runaway. Recognize him?"

I flipped over the paper and gasped. Right before me was a very vicious photo of the boy who stood protectively in front of Chloe the day she called me to fix his arm. Bile rose into my throat. She had been around this killing machine, and had been completely open and comfortable with him touching her. I crumpled the paper in my hands.

"I know where he is."

Ohhhh cliffy! Dun, dun, dun, dun! What's gunna happen to Derek? Will he like school? Will Royce continue to be a problem? Am I going to add Liam and Ramon to the story? Good questions. Too bad you have to wait and find out. ;) Review!
