CPOV
I stared up at Tori. She looked taken aback. If we both noticed his eyes there had to be something wrong. But possessed? That sounded like something that would come from a movie, but with every passing second it seemed like my life was a movie.
"We have to do something." Tori said pacing the length of the wall between the bed and the window.
"But what? We have no idea who the Hell could be doing this! We have nothing. Simon probably doesn't even remember what happened let alone know who possessed him!" I took a breath and looked at the door.
"Do you think…?" She trailed off shaking her head. "No if they followed us they would have attacked already."
"Who?" I put two and two together. "Wait, you don't think someone in the Edison Group has that power and were following us, waiting for the perfect chance to use it?" She wouldn't look at me. "Tori?" I demanded.
She glared at me for a second. "I don't know what or who could be doing-" She was cut off by the door being pushed violently open and Derek storming in followed by a terrified looking Simon. I bit my lip.
Tori looked up scared for a second before realizing it was only them. Derek threw himself on a bed and put his arms over his face. "Tell me what the Hell is going on before I punch him in the face and regret it later." He demanded peering at me. I sighed and looked up at Tori who motioned for me to tell him.
I took a breath. "Well we t think Simon was p possessed." I said slowly.
"Who the Hell has a power like that? A witch, maybe a necromancer?"
"That's what we don't get." Tori said sitting on the other bed staring at a terror-stricken Simon. "But we first have to make sure that the rest of us are strong enough to not get possessed." She narrowed her eyes looking directly at Simon.
Simon's face turned red with rage. "I don't know what the Hell happened! I don't even remember what happened until I hit the ground with you towering over me."
"It looked like you were going to molest Chloe. I had to do something." She shrugged like it was no big deal.
There was a low grumble from Derek's chest. "You did what?" He said trying to keep his voice calm.
I got up and sat on the bed Derek was laying on. "He didn't do anything. Remember he was possessed." I soothed putting a reassuring hand on Derek's chest and kissing him lightly.
"Can we skip the lovey dovey stuff already? We have more important things to do." Simon said his face still red.
"Yeah," Tori agreed. "Like washing out Chloe's hair color." She got up yanking my arm as she did so. She dragged me into the bathroom and had me strip into just my bra while leaning over the bath tub.
She ran her hands through my hair until it was completely out, neither of us spoke. "There just towel dry it and it'll be dry because your hair so thin." I grimaced at her back as she walked out of the bathroom.
I towel dried my hair and threw my t-shirt on again before looking in the mirror. I closed my eyes counted to three and peeked through my lashes. Soon I opened them fully and stared at my reflection.
My hair was just about a shade and a half darker than my natural color and it didn't look bad. It wasn't the best looking color on me, that was for sure but it would pass. I took a deep breath and turned on my heel and walked out of the bathroom.
Simon and Derek looked at me their mouths agape. "What?" I asked stopping. "Does it look that bad?" I bit my lip and shifted from side to side.
"No, you look great." Derek reassured me a broad grin stretching across his face.
"Okay." I said a bit uncertainly and went to sit next to Derek again. "So have we discovered anything yet?"
"No." Derek told me sighing. "We can't figure out whom or what could be doing this." He shook his head and stared at the ceiling.
"Should we leave?" I heard myself ask and mentally cursed myself afterwards.
"What good would that do?" Simon asked leaning against the wall with interest and looked at me, his eyebrows raised.
"I don't know." I shrugged searching for the words. "Why stay here and be vulnerable? If we run it would give us time to sort everything out."
Tori shrugged. "I can't see how that's a bad idea."
"NO!" Derek said jumping up. "We can't leave." I noticed his eyes flash and I looked at Tori who looked at me.
Simon's eyes grew wide like he was scared. "Simon, he's possessed." I told him trying to reassure him.
Simon looked at us than Derek. "But how do you know?"
"Look at his eyes." I said looking at Derek who wouldn't meet mine. All of a sudden he fell to the ground. "Derek!" I yelled running over to him and falling to my knees next to him. "Derek? Derek?!" I shook him frantically. Oh god, oh god. What do we do? This is bad, very bad. Calm down. Take a deep breath. What do we do!!? I don't know! SO much for calming down…
Simon bent down next to me his face pale. "What happened?"
"It must have been because he was possessed. The person who is doing this either did this on purpose or passed out, and if that the case he could not wake up."
I looked at her my eyes wide. "W what t? You don't mean he's d dead d?" I asked looking at her.
"It's probably the person trying to freak us out it's not a big deal." She said hurriedly. Suddenly Derek moved and grunted.
"Derek?" I whispered uncertainly. "Derek? Are you alright?"
He rolled over and looked at us. "What the-"
"You were possessed." I said moving his hair out of his eyes and trying to smile.
"I was what?" He asked looking in raged. Then his voice softened. "If I could get possessed so could you Chloe. This is too dangerous." His eyes bore into mine almost like a soft emerald, I had to with strain myself not to jump on him and start making out.
"Should we leave?" Simon asked still crouched down next to me.
Derek looked at me. I looked at Tori, who looked at Simon, we all nodded.
"We have to." Tori said. "If it's the Edison Group we would have to anyway. "
Surprisingly Derek nodded in agreement. "Tonight."
The rest of the day I paced even when Derek told me to sleep I couldn't. Even when I would lie down, I'd close my eyes and see my mom being taken away in the body bag. Until it was finally time to leave.
