Chapter Two

Chloe sighed as she pushed clothes from one end of the rack to the next, uninterested. It has been a year since that night at the theater where she lost the title of the Uniter and Brian went into a coma. While she thought she was going to see her dad at the theater, she was met by The Order. They killed her, but Brian didn't know that when he kissed her. Which should of resulted in his death, like it did Xavier, but instead he went into a coma. At the same time Zane, Jasmine's ex-boyfriend poisoned Valentina and attacked Jasmine. Alek walked in on the whole thing, and as he was about to attack the other Mai, Zane revealed he was Alek's brother. Giving him time to escape. No one has seen him since. After that night the Order lost their interest in her and so did Alek and Jasmine. Her life was back to the way it was before she found out she was Mai, but now she was a Junior. Both Amy and Paul did all they could to help Chloe move on, but no matter what they did it seemed like the old Chloe was not coming back. The light that once filled her eyes, the spark that made her who she was burned out. Even her mom was at a lost of what to do. But how could she do anything when she didn't know the whole truth?

"Hey," Amy's cheery voice pulled Chloe from her inner monologue, "what do you think of this?" Amy smiled excitedly, holding up a tank top with french wording and a cross.

Chloe glanced at it, "It's nice."

Amy's smile turned into a frown, "Could you at least try and have a good time?"

"I am trying." Amy gave her a look, "I'll try harder." Amy smiled and happily went back to looking at the store's merchandise. Chloe sighed and went to browse another rack. She was trying, she really was. But how do you get rid of the cold and empty feeling in your stomach, like your heart and soul was ripped out and stomped on? How do you get rid of it when it was your own doing? When she was halfway through the rack a shirt finally caught her gaze, it was a black over sized studded pyramid tee. Just as she was about to grab it someone else took it. She looked up into the strikingly blue eyes of the girl who grabbed the shirt she wanted and she felt something shift. A sense of hope filled her being. A feeling that this tiny girl with the baby blue eyes was going to mend all the bad things, not just in her life, but in the lives of many. This was the new Uniter. She could feel it in her bones.

"I'm sorry. Did you want this?" The young girl asked Chloe, her voice soft and warm, like a summer breeze.

Chloe stared at her frozen in place, "You can have it."

"Are you sure?" She questioned, politely.

"Yeah." Chloe breathed, unsure of how to act.

The girl tucked some of her brown hair behind her ear, "Okay." She offered a small smile before continuing to browse the store.

Amy came up behind her, "I think Paul would just love this on me. Don't you?" She held up a little black number. "Hello! Earth to Chloe!" Amy waved a hand in front of her face.

"I have to call Alek and Jasmine." Chloe ignored her and pulled out her phone from her jacket pocket.

Amy blinked, "What? Why? What's going on?"

"I found the new Uniter." Chloe kept her gaze on the mystery girl.

Amy followed Chloe's gaze, "Who her? She's a tiny thing?"

Chloe gave her a look. "I know that's like calling the kettle black, but you'd think the Uniter would be some tall amazon with bronze skin, black hair and green eyes. Not your average Jane." Amy didn't know it, but she almost described the goddess Bastet perfectly. Chloe bit her lip as she waited impatiently for Alek to pick up.

"Hello?" Alek's voice was flat. The cocky, arrogant tone that he used to have gone. Or maybe it was because it was her calling?

Knowing he wasn't thrilled to be on the phone with her, she just cut to the chase, "I found her."
