Andrew got up slowly and left the room looking at Derek before he did so. I glanced over, trying to catch Derek's gaze. I knew he saw me but chose to ignore my knowing glance.

"Are you okay?" Simon asked rubbing his thumb over my knuckles reassuringly.

"Yeah. It was just a nightmare" I said trying to get Derek to look at me.

"But you've been through a lot lately."

"I've grown used to it." I smiled at him encouragingly willing him to let go of my hand.

Tori, being the person she is had to put a snarky comment or two in there. "It's all about Chloe. Poor, poor, Chloe. But here she is peppy as ever with two guys protecting her."

Simon shot her a glare. "For once Tori could that bitchy act of yours be nonexistent?"

She opened her mouth to say something but I spoke first. "Remember no bickering?"

Tori rolled her eyes and muttered a "whatever" before stalking out of the room.

"Oh aren't we lucky she's with us?" He asked loud enough for Tori to hear.

"Shut your mouth wolf boy." She howled from the bathroom.

Shaking my head I got up sliding my hand from Simon's and stretched. "So what time is it?"

"It's about 6:00." Derek mumbled getting up from across the room. "Get dressed and head own for dinner in about an hour. We're having guests."

I looked over at Simon but he just shrugged, gave me a smile, and walked out behind his brother.

Sighing I through on a pair of different jeans, a hoody, and after running a brush through my hair before heading down to the awaiting catastrophe.

When I walked to the dining room door it was empty. So I followed the noise into the parlor. There were at least 6 different faces I had never seen before in my life. I awkwardly stood there in the doorway until Simon noticed me.

Simon was all smiles when he saw me, his face lit up and he walked over grabbing my hand and whispered in my ear. "Finally you got here. This has been Hell."

"So who are these people?" I asked as he led me back to the couch.

"Other people like Andrew, scientists, experiments, and other super naturals who used to work for the Edison Group." I internally groaned. This is going to be fun. Ha-ha.

Andrew looked up his face bright and cheerful. "Chloe! Thanks for rushing down, Tori's still changing I didn't know if you would be to."

I smiled instead of groaned like I would have liked to. I looked up from the floor to see all six faces staring at me. "Well Chloe introduce yourself after you sit down." Andrew said still smiling.

After I sat down I painfully introduced myself. "HI I'm Chloe and I'm uh a necromancer."

Andrew smiled again and gestured to a skinny woman with silvery hair. "This is Gina she's an Agio half demon." She smiled. Andrew looked at the guy about a year or two older than me with jet black hair and black eyeliner on. "This is Dan he's a shaman." He nodded and started picking at his shirt. He turned to a set of twins. They were both girls with soft brown hair who looked to be about 15. "This is Jennifer and Jenna they are both witches." They smiled and began to whisper to each other in British accents. Then he gestured to a lady in her mid 30's who had dark auburn hair and electric blue eyes. "This is Jade she's a necromancer also." She smiled then looked back at Andrew. "And last but not least this is Taylor." He had caramel skin and dark brown hair with chocolate brown eyes and looked like he was seven-teen. "He's an Exaudio half demon.

I immediately almost forgot every name I just heard, except Taylor he took my breath away. This is way more trouble than it's worth. Yep I agree!

Tori walked into the room and I saw her eyes were drawn to meet Taylor's gaze, but he held mine. I knew her eyes were boring into my side but his eyes were the only thing I saw, only thing I cared about.

"Well, lets get to dinner and we can introduce Tori to everyone okay?" Andrew asked clapping his hands and standing up in that overly cheerful way of his.

We walked to the dining room and took seats. Andrew and Gina at the heads and the rest of us scattered randomly throughout the table that sat 20 people.

The food sat on the table and my stomach growled loudly. I looked up but saw no one looking at me because they were all piling food on their plates so I followed suit.

Everyone was shoveling food into their mouths so the only thing that you could here were the clinks of forks on the plates and the chewing of our food.

Andrew set his fork down. "I'm so happy to see you all again!" They smiled back at him. This will be a very long night..
