Disclaimer: I don't own Darkest Powers. (Cries.)

Chloe: I'm back, Tori. Here, grab this rope and I'll-

Me: HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, CHLOE?

Tori: Save yourself...

Chloe: Um, I, um...

Me: First you still my man, and now my best friend?

Chloe: Your man?

Tori: (Bursts out laughing) You wish!

Me: (Glares.)

Chloe's POV:

I woke up, feeling light-headed and dizzy. I blinked and sat up. I looked around. I was still in the woods. It was still dark and raining. I rubbed my eyes. How long had I been knocked out? I stood up. Where's-

"Looking for the pup, blondie?" Liam says.

I turn around. "Where is he?" I demand, tears threatening to fall when I remember what happened to Derek.

"Oh, you got lucky. Right when you got knocked out the pup starts whispering your name. He's alive, and we're wondering what the hell to do with him." Liam shakes his head.

My heart skipped a beat. "He came back to life? Is that even possible?"

"Well, honestly, I don't know what happened. He just started breathing." Liam shrugs.

I squint, not buying it. I mean, no one can come back to life just like that.

Than I realized something;

I have to fight. There might be two, big werewolves vs. a small necromancer, but I'm willing to use my power if it gets me to Derek.

I closed my eyes.

"What are you doing?" Liam asks.

But I don't answer. I just continue to summon Liz, until finally she pops out. I nod at Liam, and she already knew what to do.

She starts pelting him with rocks, throwing them at his face, neck, back.

He swore. "What the hell is this? Don't-"

"Kill him?" she asks me.

I swallow hard and shake my head. "Knock him out."

"Or maybe I'll knock you out," Liam lunges at me, but I jump out of the way, and it gave Liz enough time to pick up a big rock and throw it on the back of his head. I thought for sure he'd wake up, but he just lay there. I crawled over to make sure he was breathing.

"Check his pockets. I think he has a knife," Liz says.

I nod and pat his pockets, pulling out a razor-sharp knife.

"Follow me," Liz says, and I do as I'm told.

Liz walks over and waves me through a path. I winced when the pain in my arm started again. "Here," Liz says, pointing toward Ramon. I see him staring at Derek, and-

Derek.

He was lying down on his back, but I could see his chest moving up and down, so I knew he was okay.

"What'd he do? Just randomly come back to life?" Liz arched her eyebrow and shook her head. I couldn't help but grin.

"That's what I said," I say quietly, only it wasn't quiet enough. It was loud enough for Ramon to jerk his head around to face me and Derek to open his eyes.

"Derek," I whisper when he glances at me, face bloody and eyes unfocused. He looked awful. His arm was broken, his entire body covered in wet blood, his lip cut, ankle twisted, leg bloody and clothes torn. He trembled.

A queasy feeling took over. I hate seeing Derek like his. So weak, so sad, in so much pain and-

It wasn't right.

And it triggered a fire in me that burst into burning flames when I met Ramon's gaze. I bolted at him, and, considering him being a werewolf, I was surprised when he wasn't fast enough to dodge out of the way.

We fought.

Yes, I know, crazy as it was, I was fighting a werewolf.

I could tell Ramon was trying not to hurt me, which was odd, considering about two hours ago he tried to kill me and my boyfriend.

I finally hit him as hard as I could in the stomach and he grabbed it, grunting in pain.

I took out my knife, and-

"No need." Ramon raises his hand up and struggles to stand up, one arm still around his stomach.

I glare. "What do you mean-"

"This," he points to Derek and the pool of blood we were standing in. "Was Liam's idea. I only came along for the pack."

I stare at him.

"Seriously. As a matter of fact, take your boyfriend right now and run, because the pack is coming by to pick him up soon."

"You'll tell them where we-"

"No," he met my gaze. "No, I won't. Wolf's honour. Go on now. They'll be here in five minutes so you better hurry."

I glower at him, before deciding to take his advice and run, just in case he's telling the truth.

"CHLOE!" I hear a girl scream.

I turn around to see Tori running to me, Simon and Andrew behind her. She hugs me and, as awkward as it was, I hug back. "Hey, guys!" I say, smiling when Simon and Andrew hug me as well.

"Guys, we better hurry, the pack is on their way and-"

"Chloe."

I blink and look down at him.

The sound of my name on his lips so warm and inviting, all I wanted to do was curl up next to him for the rest of my life.

"Derek," I whisper.

He stands up, grunting in pain, walks over and gives me a nice, warm hug.

I give him a hug back, on the verge of tears when I hear Ramon shout, "Run! They're here! Go, now! Unless you all want to die!"

I mouth to him,"Thank you," knowing he doesn't deserve it but if it wasn't for him, we'd all be dead. He nods. Tori throws her arm around my shoulder, trying to help me walk, even though I really didn't need any help. Andrew and Simon helped Derek walk, although Derek kept insisting he was fine.

We all half-run back to the house, Derek and I stumbling every few seconds.

When we get back to the house, Simon, Andrew and Tori forced us to go to the empty room, the one with two beds, and rest while they got the materials they needed to help out our injuries. Mind you, I had absolutely no intention of getting any injury of mine fixed. Derek was more important. He was in a cast. Andrew had given him some cast he had before when he broken his arm. Luckily, it fit fine.

"Are you okay?" Derek asks me.

I gape. He's kidding, right?

"You have got to be kidding me. They tortured and killed you, Derek! Not me!" I say, completely amazing at how, even when he was the one in pain, I was the one he was worried about.

He shrugs, than stares at me. "They killed me?"

I blink. "You don't remember?"

He shakes his head.

"You died. And than you just, I don't know-" I squint at him when he nods his head wildly. "-you just, came back to life."

"That's possible?"

I shrug. "I don't know."

"I think your mom is a shaman."

I gaze at him. "What?"

"I think your mother is a shaman, Chloe."

"How would you know?"

He bites his lower lip and sighs.

"What'd you feel when you were dead?" I ask.

He averts his gaze and sighs. "Don't get mad Chloe, but-I think I saw your mom."

I choked.

"I was in the middle of nothing. Literally. Everything was white, it was so weird. I was alone when I saw blond hair, and I thought it was you, but when she turned around I just knew it was your mom, I knew it." He glances at me. "Blond hair, blue eyes, she looked just like you."

"W-what'd she s-say?" I squeak, wincing at my high-pitched voice.

"I remember her exact words: 'Oh sweetie, your Chloe's mate, aren't you? I can't let you die. Tell her I said I love her. I need you to look after her for me. Please, Derek. Let me help you.'" He ran a hand through his hair. "And than I woke up."

"She said mate?" I ask, knowing it's not the point, but still.

He looks away, blushing.

Blushing?

Derek Souza is blushing?

"She-she could be wrong," he says nervously, turning away so I was facing his back.

He seems hurt. Tell him you love him.

No. Not yet, he needs-

When is the right time for you? Just stop being a baby and do it, for God's sake!

I nod. My inner voice was right. I clear my throat and open my mouth to tell him I love him, when Tori and Simon burst through the door.

"Simon and Tori Bae, at your service," Simon says.

She looks at him. "Tori Bae?"

"I-" he meets her gaze. "Well, you're my sister, so I have every right to call you Tori Bae."

She smiles at that.

Wait-

I didn't even realize what was going on.

"Sister?" I choke.

Simon sits on Derek's bed and Tori sits on mine, as they began to explain everything.

Hmm. That one wasn't so exciting. But as you can see, Derek has feelings! :D Poor guy, feeling all upset about Chloe. The next one will be filled with Chlerek, you'll see! Review, please! Thanks again to suzi1811 for the "Liz pelting Liam and Ramon with rocks" idea. :D REVIEW! :D
