HEY EVERYONE HERE IS ANOTHER CHAPTER
That is two in one day and I think this is my longest chapter yet
I hope you enjoy. =)
I don't own darkest powers Kelly Armstrong does = (
Chloe POV
I looked down at myself on the porch steps.
I was wearing a black t-shirt and grey skinny jeans as always, what a dull colour.
I checked my watch to see it had already passed lunch time so that means I had been sitting out here for three hours and I hadn't even noticed.
I got up off the porch and headed back inside, I tried to avoid as many people as I could when I was heading for my bedroom, especially Derek. Once I got to my room I grabbed my chore list to see what I had in store for today, great I had to sort out the garbage and garden.
After passing the second and the first floor and keeping an eye out for Derek's door I headed down to the kitchen.
As soon as I reached the bottom step my back grew rigid as I sensed the present near by and on his way towards me.
I started to make my way to threw kitchen, but before I could open the door a muscle arm shot out and opened it for me. I looked up and saw Derek behind me with a blank expression; I said my thank you and shuffled into the kitchen. I headed strait for the apples and even though I cant taste food I still need to look normal and eating no food at all will not look normal so I must do what I have to do, Derek came and leaned into the counter on the opposite side so there was enough space between us after I picked out the crunchiest one I sat on top of the ocean green (very ugly) counter and we both lapsed in silence. Suddenly Simon walked in the kitchen with Liz stuck in a conversation that I didn't care for.
"Hey Chloe, err…. I don't think you properly met Liz yet" the small petite girl with her long blonde waved to me with a small kind smile on her face that I knew was genuine, after our little introduction Tori came calling for Liz and barrelled into the kitchen and dragged her along but not before giving me a wary look and Liz a confused one pointed at Tori.
Derek still stood next to the counter not paying attention to anyone which Simon picked up on soon enough.
"Hey bro, you ok? You seem little out of it."
Derek gave him a short grunt before heading out of the kitchen
"Hey Derek, lunch is this way" he turned around at the last minute to say "im not really hungry, go on without me" WHAT, werewolf's have hollow legs how is he not hungry I mean I can practically hear his tummy from here.
Oh please tell me Dr Davidoff didn't speak with him, I mean I know its to protect him and the others but I have only been here for two days and I have already messed things up , that must be a record for me.
After leaving the kitchen Simon hurried after him like a lost puppy.
"Hey Waite up, ill come with you."
I stayed on the counter to try and pick up the fragments of conversation that I could reach but they turned up the music in there room (falling in reverse-caught like a fly)
Damn there good.
After finishing off my apple I jumped of the counter and went into the backyard to sort out the garbage.
I took a few steps into the garden before something caught my eye and I turned to right to see what it was but it seemed to have disappeared into the trees.
I couldn't smell anything and the forest seemed to be silent but sometimes that's not always a good thing.
I shook it out of my head for the moment and headed for the shed.
After about half an hour of tending to the flower bed and sorting out the weeds I straitened my back and placed the dead weeds into the black bag that was provided for me.
After tying it up I went around the back of the shed and put it next to the other bags that I had already used.
The creak of the backdoor startled me for a moment and then there was absolute silence.
I need to keep my senses on alert because im starting to get a little too comfortable, I might as well be human. Well I could be for the fact that im not feeding as much as I use to.
I started to hear the slight footsteps heading for the back of the shed and straight for me, I got ready in my attack stance and as soon as I saw the dark shadow I struck.
I grabbed his hand and flipped him over my shoulder till he was winded and on his back before me.
The groans that I herd after made me realise my mistake and a sudden giggle rose to my lips before I could stop it.
"We really need to stop meeting like this Simon, or I could do damage to your body."
I gave him my hand and pulled him up and let him go to stand on his own.
"Were did you learn to do that, and can I please come along?"
I laughed at his remark, only if he knew.
I looked at his face as it went from smug to serious as if he just remembered why he came out here in the first place.
"What did you tell them?" he asked with a tone to his voice that was so unlike Simon in so many ways.
"Tell them?" oh please tell me they-
"Yes, you said something to the nurses about my brother, you accused him of something." That wasn't a question that was a statement.
"I didn't tell the nurses any-"
"Well Dr Davidoff then" he started to drum his fingers against the shed to show that he was starting to loose his patients.
"you know what im talking about, Davidoff came and took Derek into a 'special meeting' warning him not to mess with you, if he does his gone." I already knew that part.
"One word from you and his " a vein in his neck throbbed"he has been perfect since he got here. Now all of a sudden he is put on notice, something happened between you too when you left the room."
Simon's attitude was starting to piss me off, he had accused me of tattle when it wasn't even like that, I only did this to keep them safe, but I guess they will never understand unless they know the truth.
But if they knew the truth it would only make things worse.
"Look I understand that you're defending your brother, but you need to understand I have my reasons" now he was really angry.
"WHAT, tattling on my brother and saying you had reason to do so is a good enough reason?"
Now my temper was breaking.
"WELL IM SORRY IF HE THREW ME ACROSS THE ROOM" I didn't mean to yell but it seemed like the only way to get threw to him just like his brother.
His back went rigid and face went blank.
"Look, ill try and sort everything out, but I need you to give me some time to do that."
He stood there in silence for a second before responding again.
"Okay, okay" he said "look about my brother I know h-"I held up my hand to stop whatever he was about to say next.
"Look I already understand and I forgave him strait after. Trust me im not mad at him no matter what anyone says"
"How, I mean normally people are scared of him and don't want to hear it but you" I stopped and looked at me "you don seem effected by him, how do you do that?"
I took a step towards Simon but before I could say anything a shadow loomed up behind him and one in which I knew all too well.
Derek came towards his brother and stood behind him to et as far away from me without making it look too obvious.
Simon was the first to break the silence. Yet again, im guessing that's his thing.
"Look Derek, Chloe doesn't understand" he turned to me before saying "it's not Derek's fault. He's super strong and-"
"And you weren't wearing your kryptonite necklace" I could smell the sarcasm rolling off him in waves as a bitter smile touched his lips.
"Yeah Im big, maybe I don't know my own strength yet." Why is he making up excuses he doesn't have to.
"That's not-"Simon began.
"No excuse, like you said. You want me to stay away? Wish granted."
"I didn't-"god would it kill him to let me explain.
"Drop it okay? You're not interested. Come on Simon lets go before I get caught with her and I get stomped again"
Just as Derek tuck hold of Simons arm and turned away the back door squeaked open causing me and Derek to both turn while Simon couldn't hear and someone called for me.
"Chloe..."Mrs. Talbots voice rang through the yard.
"Perfect timing" Derek murmured "I must have ESP"
Crap! "Err, just a second" I shouted before she could come any closer to were we stood.
I left the shed and started heading towards the back door when a sudden cloud came up in front of me and I could hear Simon speak some words in Latin. But the cloud didn't last long, like I said he isn't a very powerful sorcerer.
I turned back around to them and looked strait at Simon before saying.
"Nice trick sorcerer, but it's gonna take more then that to scare me." I gave him a slight smile that said, i-know-something-you-don't-know.
From my comment it looked like it scared him more then his trick was meant to do for me.
I turned away and headed into the kitchen were I was told to lay the table ready for dinner by MRS. Talbot.
After doing this and finishing off the rest of my tasks I went into the games room and hung out with Rae for a little bit while peter played on his DS as he normally did. This was probably the first time I had actually spoken to these guys since I came here and it was a nice change from drama queen and the big bad wolf.
When dinner was called everyone headed for the dinning room while I headed for the shower room.
I collected my clothes and quickly stood under the hot spray of the shower and soon enough I could feel my muscle's start to relax. I needed to do exercise and stretch my muscles but I don't think I would be trusted enough to go running in the forest or even use gym equipment, but I guess they have reason behind that.
Once I was out and dried I headed to bed, I was just too tired to do anything ells today and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.
For the next two weeks everything went into its own sequence and its own timetable everyday. I would wake up go to breakfast, shower, do half of my chores whilst everyone was in class, when lunch was around the corner I would set the table and help out with the food, I would start the rest of my chores and get them finished just before dinner were I would help out yet again with laying the table, once everyone was finished I would hang out with Rae and sometimes even Liz when she was able to get away from Tori long enough. And then I would have my food (blood if you didn't know already) and then head off to bed but not before watching the sun set. All this time it gave me a chance to get to know everyone better. Rae and her family, Liz and her poltergeist problem (which is actually starting to worry me, especially after she apparently attacked a teacher)
I actually talked to peter a few times and worked out that he isn't a supernatural he's just here because of some problems that he had (a few days later his parents came to collect him, good for him) Derek stayed away from me and would glance at me every once in a while but Simon wasn't as strong headed as him and would come and say hi to me and we even had a few conversations (right before Derek would come and take him away of course)but the time still went by quickly and I soon wasn't known as the new girl but just as Chloe(thank god).
Well I hoped you enjoyed that segment
I know the last paragraph had skipped two weeks and that's a lot but I just couldn't think of how to do it and im guessing you didn't want to read all of the boring parts but I still explained everything so you know were we are in the story.
Also im not gonna kill Liz off like they do in the book because Chloe cant see ghosts so there was no point to that but I hoped you enjoyed anyway.
Please R&R
