Hey everyone! I know this is probably a bit late but I have a ligitament reason this time! I swear! You see, I was volunteering at my moms work and left my laptop in the living room to charge for the day, and when I got home later that night, I grabbed it, and there was a pool of water around it…sooo, to say the least, it took me a while to get it back working, and even now I have to use an external ye board because mine still doesn't want to work properly. So, im sorry, and if you guys are mad, I completely understand, because im mad at my siblings and pets, because no one has fessed up to done it.
Okay, so this chapter is a continuation from the last one, Requested by Clover10164. I know I have a lot of requests to get caught up on, and I SWEAR im working as fast as I can on them (Im really hoping to have the next one up tomorrow or the next day, depending on how busy I am) The one after this is going to be the last one that Cassie967 , Chapter 49 of the Reckoning in Dereks PoV, so im working my way through.
So, again I would just like to say sorry. Hope you guys injoy the chapter!
Wait! I always forget to put this in, but DISCLAIMER! I own nothing, not the characters (Kelly Armstrong)-as much as I want to- or the chapter choice (My loyal readers)
My dream was very bizarre. My curled up on my side, head in a small blond girls lap- and that was all I could tell about her, her face was obscured from my sight- as she slowly rubbed my back and played with my hair, and when I shivered she covered me with a blanket made of the softest cotton ever that seemed to materialize from the air beside us.
After a while she started to sing a strange little song, something to do with "daydream belivers"…it sounded vagley fimiliar, along with the girls voice, but I couldn't place either of them, no matter how long and hard I focused on her face.
I eventually fell asleep laying on her.
I woke up in the middle of a forest, covered in clothes that had a thin layer of mud and grim on them. I also noticed that I was wearing only a small pair of boxers. I looked around, curious about my new surrondings, from the beautifuly lit meadow that I had fallen asleep in, thenm realized that I had dreampt that.
I also realized that Chloe was not within my sight. I quickly sat upright and looked around again, franticly this time. I spotted her only a few feet from my, stairing off into the forest, seemingly not seeing me.
I pull my pants on, and walk over to her carefully, as to not scare her. When she still doesn't look up at me, I crouch down in front of her, seeing her look right through me. Huh? I wave my hand in front of her face, which I now realize looks paler than normal, and she still doesn't move, doesn't even blink.
So after a few minutes of waving at her, I decide to sit down and shake her shoulders gently, finally figuring that she had fallen asleep with her eyes open.
When I felt her start to stir, I crouched back beside her and toug\ched her shoulder again. "Chloe?" She blinks and looks up at me tiredly.
"S-sorry. I drifted off."
"With your eyes open? Sitting up? I've been trying to snap you out of it for a while." I told her.
"Oh?" Was all she said as she looked around, then blinked hard and yawned. "Long night."
"you've been sitting here awake all night?" I ask as I lower myself so im sittin beside her again, wondering why she would have done that. "Because of what happened with me? I know that couldn't have been easy to watch-"
"That's not why," She tell's me.
I could tell that she didn't want to talk about it, but I needed to understand why she had done that, if not out of fear of what would happen if she closed her eyes. So as I kept pushing her to tell me, she finally told me about the man and the girl on a chain, how the man had killed the girl, and how she started to go after him with her pocket knife, but then the horror started again.
"It wasn't real," She says as she finishes telling me. "Well, it was-once. But I was just seeing some kind of ghostly replay."
"And you watched it all night?" I asked her, slightly astonished, but more horrified.
"No, its-" she waved her hand over her shoulder-"back there. I didn't look."
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"You were tired. I didn't want to bother you."
"Bother me? That is the stupidest-" I stopped, correcting myself before I started a fight with her. "Wrong word. Stubborn, not stupid…and yelling at you right now isn't helping, is it?"
Not really." She says simply.
"Nect time, wake me up. I don't expect you to tiugh out something like that, and im not impressed that you did," I tell her sternly, hoping that she would actually wake me next time, if there is one, it happened. I didn't want her to have to deal with that type of stuff just because she didn't want top bother me, especially something like this. It made me feel like a huge ass.
"yes, sir."
"And next time you don't tell me, I will tell at you."
"Yes, sir." I sigh quietly.
"Im not a drill sargent, Chloe. I don't like getting on your case all the time."
"I don't mean to…" I continued after she didn't respond, stopping to sigh again, and shake my haed, getting to my feet. "GIve me a minute to get dressed, and we'll head into the truck stop, warm up, and get some breakfast."
I grab my clothes and walk into the covering of trees, thinking about Chloe and the weird stuff she has been seeing of late, while still talking. "The main buss station is in the city. I'm hoping we'll have enough for cabe fare. When we get inside, we'll call and the bus rates and schedual, so we'll know how much money we have left over."
"I'v got-" She says as I hear her pu;;ing some paper from her pocket-"eighty. I left the rest in my backpack. I don't like carrying it all around."
"Most of mine id in my backpack too, which I forgot on the bus," I curse as I finish.
"You were in no shape to be remembering anything last night. I should have thought to grab mine." She says softly.
"But you were worried about me. Never mind, we'll have enough. I'v got about a hundred…" I say as I check my pants pockets, then my sweater, not finding the twenties anywhere. I swear. "Itmust have fallen out. Where did you get my jeans from?"
"Right where you left them, folded by the tree. I checked the pockets first. There was just an energy bar wrapper." Fuck.
"I know I had-" then I stop as I realize why I couldn't find it. FML! (Sorry, I had to add that there XD) "No, I moved it to my je\acket, which I left on the bus."
"Eighty dollars should cover the bus to New York and breafast. We'll walk, then catch a city bus to the station."
I walk from the trees and towards her, still sitting on the ground looking up at me as I mutter,"Stupid, stupid."
"Like I said, you had other thingd on your mind. We both did. And neither of us is used tp playing fugative yet. We'll learn. For now, lets get inside. Im freezing." her rationalizing was sound, but it didn't make me feel any better about my stupidity last night,. How could I have forgotten my bag and my jacket? I must really be losing my mind. Butinstead of arguing with her, I decided that I would just get her inside and out of the cold. Itseemed like the only thing that I could do for her.
So, theres the ending of Dereks PoV for this round XD just btw that was chapter 29, if you guys didn't read the title (what am I saying? Of course you did!)
So, as always, let me know what you thought (PLEASE) and if anyone has a request, let me know!
I should have the next hapter for my other DP story up in the next few days as well. If you guys havent read that one yet, would you mind taking a look at it? Its 'Darkest Powers Returns'.
Love y'all!
