We all went to bed silently fuming right after Andrew told us. He tried making us see what they all saw but we weren't having any of it. I was at that point beyond furious, I was ticked off.

I took a shower and crawled under my blankets wishing I could disappear with in them and be gone forever. I wanted to defeat the Edison Group and find Ray and my Aunt Lauren. I needed to find them out of love and guilt because I had been the one who had gotten both of them in there. It was all my fault.

I laid there for a minute staring at the ceiling. So you're going to lay here doing nothing when you could be doing something productive. Like? Uh like finding the answers we all need, go for a jog try getting used to being worked hard for the next week and a half.

I groaned and threw my blankets off of me. I wasn't tired so I should be doing something no matter how much I wanted to curl into a ball and stay there. Grabbing a pair of tennis shoes I slowly crept down the hall mentally cursing the creaky floor boards.

Because I was so intently focused on not making any noise I ran smack into Taylor's shirtless body which was built. Not as built as Derek, not even close, but built well enough "Oh u uh..." I already felt the blush rising to my cheeks.

He laughed which made me angry.

"Excuse me but I'm kind of want to go down the steps." I said gesturing to the staircase a couple feet behind him. He still didn't move. "Listen I don't want to be rude or anything but I really have to get down there." He gave me a pointed look. "Please?"

He moved just enough for me to squeeze past brushing my bare arm against his making me shiver at our exchange. As I started down the stairs I heard his voice behind me. "So can I ask where you're going?"

I stopped and turned around. "I'm not sure yet, maybe to go walk around."

"Mind if I come?" I looked at him to see if he was serious, he was.

"I don't know I-"

"Come on Chloe! Why shouldn't I come?"

"Fine you can come. Meet me down stairs in five minuets."

"Aye captain." I inwardly rolled my eyes and walked down to the backdoor folding my arms waiting impatiently.

"That was like two minuets. Why are you so impatient?"

"Because I want to get outside." I snapped unlocking the back door and walking into the still crisp night air. There was something about him that made me want to be rude and make snarky comments. I didn't know why, I just did.

"Well where are we going to go walking?" Taylor asked scanning the yard for God knows what.

I shrugged and followed his gaze which finally settled behind a big oak tree. "What?" I asked stepping off the porch and walking to where his gaze was.

"I don't know I thought I saw something move."

"If it's a ghost I'll tell you." I said smirking at the half joke I made but feeling a tingle down my spine still, because it didn't matter how I tried to act confident I was still shaky.

He jumped off the porch and jogged to my side. "If it was a ghost I wouldn't have seen anything."

"Yeah, but if it was an Agito before death than it can move things with it's mind.

"Oh well that's kinda cool I guess."

I looked up at his face about a foot from mine. "Really? You think being dead would be cool?"

"I don't know I just always wondered what you did after you die."

"Trust me you want to stay as alive as you can. It doesn't look like a whole lot of fun."

"Well thanks for filling me in. I just might have gotten so close as to killing myself to see what it'd be like."

I shook my head getting the sarcasam and continued walking to the oak tree that was a good fifty yards away. A shadow moved making me stop ubruptly.

"What?" Taylor whispered looking for anything.

"I it's n not a g ghost."

"How do you know?"

"I I saw it's s shadow."

"Chloe? What are you doing out here?" Derek's voice came behind me making me jump slightly before turning around.

"Oh I was uh-"

"Oh so the guard dog's protecting Chloe now? Not letting her out of his sight for an hour?" Taylor said sneering at Derek.

Derek growled but continued to ignore Taylor as he asked me again why I was out here making it clear he doesn't favor Taylor, at all for that matter.

"I was going for a walk and Taylor wanted to come and we saw something…" I trailed off because I knew how pathetic I sounded so there wasn't much of a point.

"Because we wanted to be out here, mutt, is that a problem?"

I looked up at Taylor ready to defend Derek but he beat me to it. "Whatever." Derek muttered turning his back and walking back up to the house not even looking back.

"Well that was uh…" I trailed off there was nothing to say what he did was rude and completely uncalled for.

"What?" He asked growing irritated.

"T that was really r rude and y you shouldn't h have d done t that." I barley stammered.

"It's not like he's your father. He shouldn't be looking after you every two minuets. You can take care of yourself and you're perfectly safe with me."

At the mention of my father my mood went from fine, to okay, bad, worse, and then finally stopping at terrible. I blinked back the tears and pushed all thoughts away before looking at Taylor's flawless conceded face.

"You are the most in-conciderate, rude, and conceded person I have ever met! And the thing is you don't even care! You know who you are and what you do, but what kills me is you don't even try to change!"

I stalked off into the woods instead of turning back and going to find Derek. Great move Chloe, Great move.

I ignored my conscious and continued walking ignoring Taylor's call to me I kept walking until I had no idea where I had stalked away from Taylor. You're lost .I know. How are you going to get back? I don't know…..
