CPOV

I awoke to the first light that poked through the trees feeling weird, and completely un-rested. I wonder why. My subconscious said mocking me. It's not my fault I'm having these dreams, I didn't force them upon us! I snapped back wishing it would be quiet so I could figure out what was going on.

"Chloe, it's time to get up." Derek said his voice soft and hot next to my ear. I turned my face slightly and pressed my lips to his, crushing them against each other. He chuckled and kissed me back. "Good morning to you to." He began to get up but turned around. "You can tell me what happened last night later."

I looked at him my eyes wide with disbelief. "W what do you u mean n?" I stuttered looking at him.

"I heard parts of what happened last night." He shook his head. "Just tell me what happened later." He walked to the other end and woke up Simon.

I glared at him and crawled over to Tori who was snoring softly. "Tori wake up." I said shaking her shoulder lightly. She didn't stir. "Tori!!! Get the Hell up!!" I said after a few more unsuccessful tries. I pushed her and she rolled over grumbling about needing her beauty sleep. "Not if you want a shower." I grumbled getting up and picking up the blanket that I slept under and folded it neatly before throwing it into a pile with the other ones.

Slowly we were all up eating muffins that had been bought by Derek the day before and drinking water bottles that Derek told us were supposed to last all day. Soon we were packed up and were walking in the direction we were supposed to go.

I looked up at the sky, lost in my thoughts. This was not what I saw myself doing three years ago. My life is probably the most abnormal one in the world. Well you could be homeless and could be only eating half a granola bar a day, with genetically enhanced powers. I'm just saying that your life isn't that bad compared to that. I'm not saying my life is bad…just different. Fine but- "Chloe are you okay?" Derek asked me in a soft, caring voice.

I nodded and smiled because I was actually okay. "Yeah, everything's fine. I uh, just had another dream last night, but really I'm fine."

He stared at me. "Another dream?"

"Yeah like the one I had," I swallowed. "Of my mom, but this time it was my Aunt."

His eyes grew bigger. "Chloe." He whispered. "I'm so sorry." He hugged, but I lightly pushed him off.

"It's okay, I knew she was d dead, but I just want to know one thing." He looked down at me, his arms still around me as if in an embrace.

"What's that?"

"How do I keep seeing their deaths? Why is this happening to me Derek?" I asked softly looking up at his face.

He kissed my hair gently. "I don't know Chloe, but I promise, we'll figure it out."

But how can you promise that? I wanted to ask, but stopped myself. Whenever Derek promised something he'd do what he promised, whether it cost him his life or not.

"Hey you guys hurry up! Enough with the love crap at the moment!" Tori yelled from a couple feet ahead. There was so much vegetation I couldn't even see her.

Derek scowled in her direction and untwined his arms from around my waist and took my hand instead. 'Let's go." He said looking down at me, probably trying to figure out if I was going to brake down or not, and I wasn't going to.

We walked for about two more hours' barley resting. My legs began to feel like lead, and they were sore. More sore than when I was training with the twins.

When we finally sat down for a couple minutes to talk about everything, I didn't tell them what happened last night, because I didn't want to worry them at all. It got quiet after a minute when I opened my mouth. "Do you think everyone's okay?"

They all looked at me because it had obviously never crossed any of their minds. "We know how to fend for ourselves while running away, do you think they know? Have they ever been on the run before?" They continued to look at me.

"Chloe, I bet they're fine. Gina and Andrew know what they're doing; we should only worry about being safe, not about them right now." Simon said looking past my head.

I turned around. "What?"

"Nothing, I just thought I saw something."

Derek sniffed the air, and then yelled. "Get down!" We all flattened ourselves against the ground as bullets whizzed past our heads.

"What the Hell?" Tori yelled as we all rolled behind a tree.

"I can't believe I wasn't paying attention, its a few people from the Edison Group, we need to take them out before they get more people here."

"How the Hell do you think we'll do that?" Simon demanded peeking around the tree.

"There are only three of them, it shouldn't be that hard." Derek glanced at me and I knew what he was thinking; good, she won't be able to get hurt.

"Yeah, Derek one problem, they have guns. We aren't invincible!" I said quietly.

"I know. Simon Tori use binding or knockback, or anything you can think of, and I'll run out."

I glared at him. "So I just sit here?" I demanded.

"Chloe, I don't want-"

"Oh I'm sorry, so if I'm correct I'm supposed to sit here doing nothing? Well that's not going to happened sorry Derek, I can defend myself." I whisper yelled.

I heard a man's voice that was unfamiliar. "Where did they go?"

Then a woman's voice I didn't recognize. "I heard the Saunders girl. If we don't catch them Marcel is going to kill us, literally."

Another man's voice came, that was deeper than the others. "Don't remind us Talia and shoosh I hear something."

I got up slowly. "Chloe what the Hell do you think you're doing?" Derek demanded grabbing my arm.

I shook it off. "I can defend myself Derek."

"You had one lesson! Chloe, get back here!" he demanded quietly.

I hoisted myself up on the tree branch. "Chloe!" Both Tori and Simon whisper screamed after me. I shook my head and took a deep breath. So you're Rambo again? I was really starting to hate my inner voice. I'm not saying I'm Rambo I'm just not going to sit on my butt and do nothing. You don't have a knife this time genius, they have guns.

I sat on the branch and felt through my back pack before pulling out the second knife. Yeah, I really don't have a knife. "Chloe, get the Hell back here!" Derek said from below me. I glared and grabbed onto the branch above me. Good thing I took gymnastics. So how are you going to take all of them out? I'm not going to.

I heard Derek swear I looked down. "What?" I asked looking at him.

"There's a fourth one, I guess we are going to need you." He said a little bit reluctantly.

"What's the plan?" I asked leaning down further.

He looked at me like he was scared I was going to fall. "I guess I'll attack head on, Chloe since you're up there attack the closest one after I hit the one, Tori and Simon you guys stay behind the trees and blast them with whatever spells you can think of."

I nodded. "Sounds good. But how will you know I'm in place?"

Derek thought for a second. "Whistle softly so they won't hear you."

"Okay." I nodded and started to climb again until Derek's voice came again.

"And everyone, be careful." It was directed to everyone and especially me. He stared at me and I stared back.

"Don't worry, I will." I said quietly so only he could here. Then I continued to climb trying to be as quiet as I could.

I almost fell twice, but I managed to keep y footing and move steadily through the branches until I was under the furthest away guards. Softly I whistled praying that it was loud enough for Derek to hear and not the lady underneath me. "Regan you in position?" I heard her radio say.

She unclipped it. "Yeah but neither Saunders, Souza, Enright, nor Bae are in line of sight."

The radio buzzed again. "Stay put I'm sending Talia over for help." Then came a muffled scream.

"Dan? Dan are you okay?" There was no response but I didn't wait I dropped down on her but it didn't knock her out it only sent her gun flying. "Ooof." She said as she hit the ground with me on top of her. She blinked for a second and before I could react she pushed me off.

I rolled a couple of inches before I got up, to find her crawling to the gun. I scrambled up and broke out into a run, and slide tackled it away. The gun went sliding into the shrubs which swallowed it up, making it look like it had been swallowed up. "Now you've done it! " She huffed and she flung herself at me, I quickly feinted away and circled around her, but she was fast.

Regan followed me easily, and acted like I was nothing of a threat, until I pulled out my switch blade. I saw her stare at it than she started patting her pockets trying to find hers. I spotted it right behind her so I lunged. She thought I was lunging at her and jumped out of the way.

After I grabbed the knife she stared at me. She was alone and unarmed, she stood no chance against me, I knew that but I don't think she did. I heard the sounds of other fights from all around me but I tried to focus on mine.

We circled and I looked at her knife before I tossed it into the woods. She sputtered. "B but that's not fair."

I tried not to laugh. "Sorry life's not fair." And then I lunged at her. We both lamed against the ground, and went rolling. She groaned in pain when I accidentally stabbed her in the leg. Eventually I had her so worn out she just laid there and stared at me, I could see her lips moving in a silent prayer.

I got up and brushed the dirt off of myself. "I'm not going to kill you." She looked at me doubtfully. "I just have one question for you before I knock you out."

She stared at me like I was crazy. "W what?"

"If you believe in God, w what m made you want to m mess with h his creations?" I mentally swore at my stuttering but held her gaze and I knew I was turning red.

Regan continued to look at me. "I don't know. " She said quietly.

Slowly I walked up to her and the tears streamed down my face. "Is my Aunt Lauren d dead?"

She looked down and averted my gave. "Yes, she was killed a week ago." Everything turned blurry after. I remember her passing out and my knees buckling.

The blackness wasn't welcoming as usual. But I didn't dream, I was stuck between the state of semi-consciousness. I heard Derek, Simon, and Tori run over to me asking me if I was alright, but my mouth felt weird and I couldn't respond, the realization of my aunt's death was to great, I couldn't stand it.

I felt myself get lifted up bridal style and then I completely blacked out.
