Hi everyone! Here's another chapter of my story! I got a couple of reviews for my last chapter that made me really happy, and I was busy so I was going to wait until this weekend to update, but since you guys reviewed I decided to do it before!

Disclaimer: To my dismay, I do not own Darkest Powers.

Me: I knew it. I knew she took her. That girl just can't be trusted. (Mutters under her breath).

Chloe: Derek? Where are you? I though we were going to that dinner-

Me: WHAT?

Chloe: (Wide eyes). I-um-I mean-nothing.

Derek: Chloe? We have to go to that dinner now-

Me: DEREK! HOW COULD YOU?

Derek: RUN!

Chloe's POV:

I can't believe this.

"ANDREW?" I cry.

Andrew just laughs maniacally, his eyes wild, hair messy.

"What did I do? Let's see. Hmm. Well. I chained you. I tortured that dog over there. I'm going to torture you too. Then I will kill you both. Death, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood-"

Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood-

"-and more blood. You may think I'm crazy. Hehe. Maybe so. I will go now. Tea. Coffee. I want water..."

"You're insane," I whisper, staring at him in disgust as he walks out, muttering under his breath.

I glance at Derek, who was staring at the spot where Andrew was, and than, out of nowhere, he bursts out laughing.

I give him a look and he shushes, clearing his throat and whispering, "He's crazy."

I nod, biting my lower lip.

I lean onto his chest and fall into a deep sleep.

I wake up to an excruciating pain in my leg. I look up to see Andrew, twisting and turning my leg, trying to dislocate it. It was bloody and the skin was torn.

I scream out in pain, shaking Derek, trying to wake him up when I see his leg was the same way, but not dislocated. Andrew probably couldn't get it off.

I start sobbing violently, screaming and shaking, fighting against Andrew.

The room flashed before me, as if someone was turning the lights on and off. I felt something warm and wet splattering on my cheeks, at first thinking it was water and than realizing it was fresh blood. I cry out in agony, blood soaking my clothes.

I kept struggling, pulling my leg back, twisting, turning, tossing myself over and over until I heard a familiar growl. I looked up, still shouting, to see Derek, his face dark with so much anger I had never seen in him before. He stands up and angrily yanks his foot, the injured one, and, to Andrew's surprise, the chain snapped and Derek didn't even flinch.

He tackled Andrew, hitting him so hard Andrew passed out. Derek, deciding it was enough, grabbed the chain and hit him in the face and head with so much power I'm pretty sure it killed him. I stopped screaming, settling for a down-right scary sob, making Derek run over to me, scooping me up and letting me cry onto his chest.

He wrapped his arms around me and I continued to cry, my leg still burning.

I looked up from his chest and gazed into his beautiful green eyes, the ones I've been waiting so long to see.

"D-Derek," I mumble, my salty tears rolling down my cheeks. He kisses my cheek and buries his face in my neck, breathing in my scent.

I wrap my arms around his neck and snuggle closer.

"A-are you o-okay?" I ask him, voice shaky, uneven.

"No."

"W-what did h-he do t-to you?"

"He hurt you."

I burst into tears again and I kiss him, so hard, so passionately, so desperately, I can't help but feel the urge to collapse into him and cry all over again.

"It's okay," he whispers. "It's going to be okay. I promise."

"I-it's going to b-be o-okay b-because I'm w-with y-you," I mutter, cursing myself mentally for stuttering.

He nods and kisses me sweetly before pulling away way too early.

I shake my head, grab his collar and press his lips against mine, filling it with all my love. The feeling was overwhelming; as if this was the first time we've kissed in years. I suddenly felt powerful, a burst of strength coursing through me as my pulse quickened and I felt light-headed. I couldn't pull away. No fibre in my being was allowing me to pull away, even for a brief second for air.

He must have felt the same way, because he didn't pull away either.

His lips felt warm and wet against mine, moving in a way that made my palms sweat and my stomach get butterflies. Finally, I pulled away and took quick, deep breaths, hugging him tightly.

I heard the door opening behind me. I turn, expecting to see one of Andrew's friends, but instead finding Tori and Simon.

I break into a grin, so relieved to see them.

"Oh my God!" Tori gasps. "What happened? Are you guys okay?" I could see she was close to tears.

"I guess you c-could say t-that," I reply shakily, struggling to stand up.

"Oh dear Jesus! Why does Andrew have to be so wrong in the head?" Simon says, shaking his head and running over to help Derek and I stand up. Tori does the same.

The door opens once more.

We all turn to look.

There stood a boy about our age, with brown hair that fell into his hazel eyes. He was kind of cute.

He stood there, staring at...

Tori.

Tori stared at him.

They stayed liked that, gazing into each other's eyes, both of them speechless, looking as if they both wanted to say something, to ask something, than he smiles, and she smiles, and they both looked away.

The boy clears his throat.

"Tori...?" he mumbles, blushing.

"Lucas?" she mumbles back, also blushing.

They meet each other's gaze, both bright red.

"Um...w-who are y-you?" I ask.

They both look at me.

Great way to ruin the moment, Chloe.

"I-I mean...I-I just..." My cheeks heated.

Why beat around the bush? Out with it!

"Y-yeah. W-who are you?" I ask again.

"I'm Lucas."

I look at Tori.

"You know him?" I say.

She nods and clears her throat, blushing again.

"Guess there's a lot of explaining to do," Simon says. "But for now, we should all go back." He glances at Lucas. "You're welcome to come."

"I-"

"You should." Tori looks at him. "I mean, you should come."

He nods and Tori helps me stand, also helping me walk. Simon helps Derek.

We all walk out without another word, Tori and Lucas stealing glances at each other, both continuing to blush.

So? What'd you think? I have to say, I liked this one. I mean, YAY, the guy from Tori's dream comes! But is he all that he seems...? Hmm. These are the questions that should be asked. SO, review, it'll help me update a lot faster! :D
