Hello again :) This chapter is all about how Derek disappears (as I said when I accidentally gave that away in the last chapter), finding out who shot Chloe, etc. :)

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN DARKEST POWERS! D:

Me: So, Tori, ready to play a game?

Tori: (Shakes head).

Me: Great! We'll play I am going to kiss Derek Souza!

Tori: (Snorts, than bursts out laughing).

Me: (Frowns.)

Derek: (Walks in room). Hey, guys...(sees Diana.)

Me: Hey...(smiles evilly).

Derek: (Runs away, screaming).

Chloe's POV:

I touched my leg. I needed to find out who shot me. But where was I supposed to start? I thought about the CSI shows I used to watch. First I would look for the bullet. I needed Derek for it all, though. He would be able to find the scent and take us in the direction of where to go. I bit my lower lip and walked down the hall, (pardon me, I limped painfully down the hall) and found Derek in the bathroom. Staring. Just staring at himself with a blank expression. Than he turned and saw me, shooting me a half-smile and coming out of the bathroom.

"Hey," he says.

"Hi," I reply. "Want to help me with something?"

He stared at me and nodded. I motioned for him to follow. He did.

Outside, I pointed to where I was standing. "So can you track the bullet and the scent?" I ask. He nodded.

He crouched and started to sniff. A few seconds later he started to dig. I waited patiently as he dug out a bullet form the undergrowth.

"Great! You found-"

"Hold on." He puts a finger up. "This bullet looks like it was buried. It couldn't have been buried that deep naturally within a day."

"So you're saying someone came and buried it?"

"Probably while we were asleep."

"Probably the guy that tried to kill me."

He sniffs again than glances at me. "How'd you know it was a guy?"

"Lucky guess." I shrug.

"Well, it is a guy. And not the Edison Group." His face scrunches up.

"Who?" I ask, and when he looks at me, I already know the answer.

Derek's POV:

I gesture for Chloe to follow me. Ever since she got shot I realized that I did like her. Actually, I was in love with her. But I wasn't going to admit that. At least, not yet. We tiptoed stealthily in the woods.

"Are you sure he did it?" Chloe whispers.

I nod. "It was his scent on the bullet. And on the dirt. He shot you and came back at night to try to bury it. Too bad he forgot I was a werewolf."

"Can we find the gun?"

"We can try. He might've dropped it and ran or he might've-" I stopped and sniffed. "Stay back. He's-"

"Right here, pup."

We turn around to see Liam a few feet behind us. I instantly push Chloe behind me and growl. "You think you could've just shot Chloe and ran? Think again." I smirk and he just laughs.

"Alright. Come here than, pup. Just come here and show me how angry you really are."

I lunge at him. He tries to dodge out of the way, but I grab his arm and yank him down. We start to fight. I kept punching his nose and he kept punching my ribs. He threw me off but I ran right back to him, tackling him down before he could stand. Than he rolled out from under me, grabbed a gun from out of his pockets, jumped up and grabbed Chloe before I could stand.

"Let her go," I growl.

"Aw. Sorry if I'm disappointing you, pup. But if you want your girlfriend here safe, than you have to come with me." He grins. "Ramon would want to play too."

"Fine," I say without thinking.

"Derek, no," Chloe whispers.

"Just let her go and I'll come with you."

"Alright. No tricks, pup. Or she gets it." Liam points at Chloe. I nod.

He releases her but she runs to me and grabs my arm.

"Derek, don't," she whispers. "Please."

I glance at her. Her eyes filled with tears. "Please, don't." She grips my arm tighter.

"I'm sorry," I whisper, immediately filled with regret when I walk toward Liam and see tears roll down her cheeks. I motion for her to go back, and I glare at her and mouth, "Don't follow me." I didn't mean to be rude, but I couldn't have her killed just so she could save me.

Sorry, Chloe.

Aw, poor Chloe. :( So now you see Liam is a big fat JERK! :D Well, everyone already knew that, but still. So, review please! :) I hope you enjoyed that one. I know it's short, but I write 2 or 3 stories a day, some of them are short and some of them are long. REVIEW! :D
