Okay, im back again, and this time I didn't leave you guys hanging forever! XD YAY!

Soooo, this is the second chapter that Cassie967 had asked for…Chapter 36 of The Reckoning in the sexy werewolfs PoV….Those were my words, not theirs…^_^

Sooo if you cant tell already, im a lil bit hyper while writing this, but that's just cuz I havnt had much sleep lately, and that's cuz I missed a week of school cuz I was sick, so im cathing up on homework before I get zeros in all of my classes…well really its just religion I may be getting zeros cuz that was the class I missed the most work in, but you get what I mean…

SOOOO Now on with the chapter XD

We all considered having Liz scout the area surrounding the house for a safe rout we could escape with but then we realized that we were dealing with spells and charms and other things that a ghost wouldn't and couldn't trigger, so there was no point in sending her out there. The place had to be sealed up tight.

But, then again, we also had to think that it wouldn't be as tight during the day, seeing as no-one thought we were stupid enough to try and get away in the daylight, but no-one knew that when we had to get out of someplace, we would use any way we could. Like with that guy and the van. I knew I had to get Chloe out of there, and I used the only way I could without calling to great attention to us.

Chloe, Simon, Tori and I all decided that we needed to play along with them for just a bit longer, and that since Andrew had used us that we would now use him. But that meant that we had to release him. They all racked their brains for a alternate way to convince everyone that everything was fine. I had already run through every situation, and none led to an escape that would work.

We didn't let Andrew in on our scheme of coarse, 'cuz that would be plain stupid, but we would leave in the basement until morning then let him know that we had thought about it and decided that the only way to take the EG down was to follow his plan.

When morning brought Margret and the others back to the safe house, they would find us eager to get out of here, and hopfully presume that it was to help them take the EG down, and they would let their guard down long enough for Chloe to send Liz out to make sure out exit rout was clear.

That was Plan A, and if that failed, we would use Plan B. Fight out way out then call dad.

When we finished with our plans it was already almost six, so that meant we still had a good few hours before Margret and the other Hell Hounds showed up at the door. Tori kept searching through the laptop, but by now no-one expected to find anything we didn't already know. Me and Simon watched Andrew on shifts, meaning we would switch every half hour or so, and Chloe, well, she just wandered around the house, looking for something to do to help us.

I heard Chloe pick something off the table in the living room and walk to the parlor. She sat and then I heard the scribbling of a pen on paper. She must be writing out a scene or something. I wonder what about…

I decided to take the chance of going upstairs to talk to her. I walked quietly as to not disturb her. When I got to the Parlor, the door was closed, so I had to disturb her anyways.

I opened the door, and she looked up, her eyebrows creased with concentration as she looked up, then her face went expressionless.

"Hmmm?" She asked.

"Got something for you," I say as I hold out the eight millimeter video camera I found when I was looking through all the crap in the boxes in the basement. I don't think it is in a good condition at the moment but I could always fix it if she wants it. "I found it downstairs. Its not working, but I think I can fix it."

She looked from the camera, to me, then back, like she was thinking about if she should take it or not. She knew what I was trying to say with this. That I was sorry that I screwed up and pissed her off.

I kept looking at her face, hoping that she would just take it and forget about my stupidness and forgive me, but I don't think she will.

She stood and took the camera, then set it on the table.

"Its cold in here," I say, because I thought I was getting a bit awkward in here. "Is the radiator working?" I walk over to the thing and put my hand over it. It was working, but not very strong. "Not very well. Ill grab you a blanket."

"I don't need-"

"Just a sec."

I took off down the hallway to the closet and grabbed the fluffiest blanket I could find in less than five seconds because I didn't want to be away from her for more than that, and ran back to the room, well fast walked but it probably looked like I was running. When I got there I laid the folded blanket on her lap, and looked around for a place to sit. I saw the couch, crossed the room, and sat.

As I sat there, I started to feel like I needed her right here, beside me, so I knew she was safe. So after a few moments of silnce I told her, "Why don't you come over here? More comfortable than that chair. Warmer, too, closer to the radiator." I just needed a way to get her over here.

"Im fine." She was always making things difficult for me.

"hard to talk to you over there, across the room."I move over even further down the couch, even though there ws more than enough room for her petite form where I sat before, but I didn't want her to be uncomfortable if she didnt want to sit close to me. I placed my arm around the back of the couch to show her that I was trying to be friendly, and I even tried for a smile but I couldn't manage it without her coming over to sit here with me. I heard her heartbeat pick up a little bit when I tried though…

She looked like she was having a battle with herself about whether she should come over here or not. I guess it was over when she stayed in her chair, though.

"You don't get to do this," She says suddenly.

"Do what?" I asked innocently, but I still dropped my gaze a bit. She knew I was up to something. "I'm sorry. That's what im trying to say, Chloe. That I'm sorry." I didn't think it would be this easy to tell her that I was sorry for being an ass, but it was very easy. If it had of been anyone else, I doubt that I would have been able to even form the words, let alone say them out loud.

"For what?" Wha…?

"Making you mad," I say as I look up at her confused.

Apparently I had said the wrong thing, because she didn't even bother answering me, just stood and started walking towards the door. I got up and practically leaped for the door before she could leave. She made it that far, though, before I could get a hold of her. I took her by the elbow. She didn't turn around, but she stopped.

"When I got mad at you for leaving, it wasn't because I thought you were stupid or didn't think you'd be careful." How was I supposed to tell her what the hell I was mad at her about then without letting her know my feelings and making her run?

"You were just worried about me." Thank Christ!

I sighed in relife that she could answer that for herself instead of me having to completely blow my cover. "Yeah."

She turned around abruptly. "Because you think im worth it."

I put my fingers under her chin and looked into those beautiful blue eyes that I loved as I said, "I absolutely think you're worth it."

"But you don't think you are." Umm…

I opened my mouth with a retort, but closed it again after thinking about it for a second. It would just piss her off again.

"That's what this is about, Derek." I loved my name on her lips. "You wont let us worry about you because you don't think you're worth it. But I do. I absolutely do."

She lifted on her toes and put her hands around my neck and pulled me down. When our lips met, that spark…it was everyting that I had hoped for when I got this. She was my everything. She was going to be my everything.

I put my hands around her waist, pulling her closer to me-

When Simons footsteps feel in the hallway we jumped apart.

I was beyond pissed at my foster brother. "And he says I have lousy timing," I grumbled to more myself than Chloe, but I saw a small smile spread across her lips as I said it. I called to my soon to be dead brother, "Whats up?"

"Andrew says he needs to go the bathroom," Simon said, walking into the room. "Im all for saying too bad, but…"

"Fine. I'll handle it," I said. "Chloe? Wanna come-" But she cut me off.

"I need to talk to Simon."

I gave her a look. I wasn't jealous because I knew she didn't have feelings for him, but I was a little hurt that she didn't take the chance to come with me.

"Its important," She said. "Grab Tori, though. She can help with Andrew."

I nod then leave her and Simon to talk.

Soooo, how was it? About half way through my hyperness wore off and I started getting tired, so if the second half sucks, let me know and I will trya nd re-write it for you ^_^

I only have four more chapters to write before im completely caught up with this! XDD YAY! But I would love for some more ideas! I love writing this, because it gives me an opportunity to play with the characters a little so I can have better work in my other DP story 'Darkest Powers Returns'. If you guys havnt read it yet, could you? I would love some feedback on that one from the readers of this one X) You guys are great.

Thank you for reading and putting up with my hyperness with this one.
