Chloe's pov

We ran for what seemed like hours. Derek was always either ahead or behind, checking for people following us or people ahead of us. Thankfully there were none.

When we finally settled down it was on the ground, with three thin blankets. I fell asleep almost immediately, but I woke because of the wind.

I looked up and saw Derek staring at the blackness. "Derek?" I asked quietly.

He was lost in thought. So lost in thought he didn't even here me. "Hello? Derek, is anyone home?" Derek glanced up at me, and grunted. "Are you okay? You were completely out of it."

He nodded his head. "Oh, okay I just woke up and saw you awake. I thought you might have heard something.

Derek shook his head this time. "Well, okay." I said uncertainty creeping in my voice. Is he okay? Ask him not m. I can't read minds. I was just wondering! If I was asking I would have said 'Do you think he's okay?' Humph.

He motioned with his head for me to lie down. I sighed and lay down next to him. I knew this wasn't what he met but it was so much more comfortable, and made me happier.

"I know this isn't what you met." I told him snuggling closer. "But it's more comfortable."

Soon I fell into unconsciousness again. My dream was weird. It was out of the ordinary. Normally I saw either myself or someone else I loved dying. But this, this was something different entirely. It was the same, but so different.

I hovered out of the car my parents were in. My father driving and my mom talking animatedly about something that happened at work, that she thought was the most hysterical thing in the world. They were completely oblivious as to what was coming.

But I saw it, I saw the car that would kill my mother. I screamed and hollered as loud as my voice would let me but I was like a ghost and only I could hear myself.

The navy blue, Chevy pick-up truck was speeding down the road. The driver was determined to make the yellow light before it turned red. And all I could do was stand there in utter horror with my mouth agape.

"No." I whispered as my dad began to turn left as the light changed to green.

The blue truck kept came, faster, faster it sped along the black asphalt running straight into the passenger door.

"No!" I said but louder this time. It was like watching it in slow motion, the falling of the glass, the impact of the two vehicles, and my Mom's death defying scream.

I watched completely helpless as the tears rolled down my cheeks freely. "No." I whispered as I crumpled to the ground in defeat.

"Chloe, Chloe, it was just a dream." I heard Derek's voice try to pull me out of my dream but I couldn't come out. I wanted to come out of it, desperately, but every time I came close I was sucked back in.

The police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks surrounded the area in which they had collided. I watched as my father got put into the ambulance, the truck driver in the one next to his. I watched my mother get zipped up in the bag, she had no chance of survival. She was dead at the sight.

"Chloe!" I bolted up off the ground to three faces staring at me. "Are you okay?" Derek asked his emerald eyes piercing into mine.

"Yeah." I said running a hand through my hair.

"Are you sure?" Simon asked. "It took us like half an hour to get you to come to."

"Oh, sorry. And yeah I'm fine, it was just a dream." It wasn't just a dream, that was different. We were… there, literally there. I know. I was there to. Wow you aren't happy. Not happy? Well duh! I just watched my Mom die for God sakes! Ok, ok I'm sorry. (Slowly backs away in head, before turning and running away).

"Chloe? Hello are you even listening to me?" Tori snapped.

I looked up. "Sorry, what?"

She scowled and stormed away. "Are you sure you're okay?" Derek whispered in my ear as he helped me on my feet.

"I'll tell you later." I said before brushing myself off and walking away. I heard him sigh so I turned around and smiled at him reassuringly. The smile was faked, I really felt like curling up into a ball and sobbing, but that wasn't an option.

We picked up our mini campsite and continued walking. Derek walked next to me protectively. "When did you change back?" I whispered as he held a branch back so we could walk under.

"A couple hours ago." He muttered coming back up next to me.

"Did it hurt?"

"No." He answered making me move over so I didn't have to hop over a log.

"Oh, well that's good." I said with as much enthusiasm as I could put in my voice.

He rolled his eyes. "It's later; now tell me what you saw."

I sighed. I had to tell him sooner or later. "I w watched my mother d die." I whispered quietly so only he could here.

"Chloe, I'm so sorry." He said his voice sympathetic. "Do you think it means something?"

I shook my head. "No, it couldn't."

"Do you know that's how she really died?"

I nodded. "One day I had asked my dad what happened and what he told me exactly what I saw." He looked at me like I was crazy and I felt crazy. " No, Derek it felt like I was really there but no one could see me! I was like a ghost!"

"Well that's ironic." He chuckled.

I smacked his arm. "Derek it's not funny I'm serious."

"Chloe, I know but there's nothing we can do about it."

I whimpered. "Derek I don't want to go through that Hell again! I heard her, her scream before she died."

"Chloe." He whispered wrapping his arms around me. He ran his hand up and down my back in reassurance.

I pulled away and looked ahead at Tori and Simon who were completely oblivious to us. "It's okay." He gave me a stern look. "Really." I said nodding my head and turning to walk away.

He grabbed my hand gently. "Chloe it's okay." He whispered.

"Yeah, I know. But for now I'm going to run away from it and not look back."

He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him. "I know, running isn't the answer but for me right now, it is."

Derek scowled. "That's not what I was going to say. I was going to say we need to tell Simon soon, before he finds out the wrong way."

"I know." I snapped. "We will eventually." He looked hurt. "We will okay?" I said softening my voice and kissing him on the cheek quickly. "Now let's go."

Authors Note

Yepp! It's me, I'm back again! I know, I know. It's just that it's still break, and there's nothing else to do. There was like this magnetic pull dragging me over to write a chapter! It feels good to have accomplished it though. Oh and did you guys like the dream? I was writing and it just hit me so I wrote it, thought it sounded okay, and kept it. But anyway there was a point to the dream and you will find it out, I promise just not this chapter. Oh one question was I descriptive enough in the dream? I wasn't sure how to put it in words, so sorry if you didn't like it. Anyway thanks to all the reviewers! You guys are the ones who keep me going and writing and there are a certain few of you who brighten my day! Thanks so much!!

Hope
