A/N I have been thinking about this story and I've decided on a bit of a change in direction. I'm going to swap between Nike and Chloe's point of view and maybe the others but I'm not sure. Chloe's point of view might not be close to the book. You have been warned. I will try my hardest but if you have any ways I could improve her parts I really would appreciate it. Please review.

Chloe

It was nice to wake up in a bed again. Knowing I had food downstairs and for a few more days at the least of safety. The group were planning a jail brake and had questioned us all about what we knew of the Edison head quarters as well as trying to let us rest. Derek wasn't really resting he had been answering questions and then asking questions about being a werewolf to Tye. I was happy he had someone to talk to who could actually answer his questions. I get up dressing running a brush through my now red hair it was much nicer than the black and head down stairs, I was three stories up along with Tori. The boys were on the second floor. The girl Nike pops into my thoughts. I know everyone was wary of her and had put a spell on her door so she couldn't escape but she could have information we needed. I only knew so much of the head quarters but Nike seemed to know a lot. She could also know about what happened to Derek's and Simon's dad. She had mentioned that she knew they were looking for him. I needed to find Derek. I start to head to his room and pass May on the way up the stairs. She was running a smile on her face.

"Our guest is up" She says in passing. I smile back at her. Once I was outside Derek's door I knock.

"Come in" Was his clipped rely. I walk in. Derek was dressed and looked to be heading downstairs.

"Hey" I say.

"Hey, what do you want?" Derek looks to me and I shift. Derek and I had been a lot more comfortable with each other recently only I seemed to be becoming more uncomfortable. Just sometimes when I looked at him I felt funny.

"Nike-"

"I don't trust her"

"Derek-" I start I knew he wouldn't he didn't even want Tori with us at he beginning and he knew her. With Nike we had every reason to distrust her but I still felt we should give her a chance. If we watched her carefully. She couldn't do anything not with everyone around her.
"No-" He wasn't going to listen. I reach out a hand touching his arm. I feel him stiffen but ignore it. He had stopped talking giving me a chance.

"She could know where your dad is" I see his green eyes flash. He had already thought about it. Of course he had.
"She could be lying"
"Give her a chance" I plead. He looks to me and I rub his arm slightly then realising what I was doing stop quickly. My cheeks heating. He was looking intently. I open my mouth to saying more but I heard Simon shout that food was up.

"Der-" Derek hold up a hand his nostrils flaring. He tilts his head as if listening; I wait till Derek lowers his hand.

"She was listening"

"Who?"

"Nike" Derek replies and I blush slightly.

"What could that mean?"

"I'm not sure" Derek moves to the door my hand falling to my side. "Let's go eat, we need to make the most of this food, we haven't eaten enough recently" My stomach growls and I nod to agree and head out of the door.

When we entered the kitchen I see both Tori and Simon already eating and arguing.

"Hey bro" Simon greets noticing our arrival "Morning Chloe" He smiles and I smile back.
"Morning" Derek just grunts and moves to get food. I turn to follow.

"Sit I'll get you some"

"You don't have to I-" Derek looks up from piling food on a plate "Thank you" I finish and go to sit. I see Nike sitting on her own shovelling food into her mouth. I move to sit with her leaving Derek to sit near Simon.

"Morning" I greet. Why had she been listening earlier? What did she think?

"Morning" She says back putting her fork down. "You always get this for breakfast?"

"I've only been here two days"

"True" She looks thoughtful her blue eyes seeming focused on her plate. "So-"

"I see everyone is here" Andrew interrupts coming to the table with a mug followed behind by Derek with two plates and Tye who looked to have just woken up. Derek places a plate in front of me. There was an awful lot but I don't mention it Derek had more and dig in.

"Nike we didn't get to introduce you to everyone yesterday" Andrew looks over to her.

"This is Edward and Mark they are both demi demons, then there is Melissa" He points to Melissa who smiles at her Nike smiles back "and you've met May they are both witches." No one here was a Necromancer so no one could help me like Tye could Derek and May and Melissa Tori and Simon. At least I hadn't risen the dead yet. "And Helen here was a member of the Edison Group but left and is now helping us" I notice Nike tense.

"When did you leave?" Nike's voice trembled slightly and I notice both Tye and Derek look more closely at her. Tye had already been staring intently at her.

"Around six years ago" I notice Nike relax and smile.

"Why you ask?" Tye asks. Nike looks to him.

"I'm not exactly found of the Edison group and needed to know if she was involved with my time there" Nike stares right back at Tye. There was going to be some arguments between those two. Probably much like Derek and I use to have. I look to my side. Derek was looking to me.

"Why are you smiling?" He whispers to me. Was I smiling? I didn't realise. Why was I smiling? Maybe it was Tye's face he looked disgruntled.

"No I've never even heard about you" Helen says wide eyed.

"Its fine" Nike says looking back to her plate. She smiles before looking to Tye again "So what are you?"

"I'm a werewolf"

"Ahh" Nike nods cutting scooping up some egg.

"Ahh?" Tye crosses his arms.

"Nothing" Nike smiles to herself before turning to look at Andrew. "You said we would talk?"

"Yes, after you finish eating if you will go with Tye, he will explain"

"Ok" Nike starts to eat again as everyone else starts. I finish my plate, as much as I could. I push away from the table to wash my plate when my arm brushes Derek's. It was boiling. I turn to face him. He turns to meet my gaze.

"Are you-"

"No" He answer quickly but his eyes flash uncertainly. I raise my eyes brows I reach out to touch his arm again his skin was defiantly feverish it hadn't been earlier I feel my cheek heat again.

"You skin is burning" I lower my voice moving closer to keep our conversation private.

"I'm fine"

"You'll tell me won't you" I stare straight at him. I know he could ask Tye now but he didn't know him as well. I just knew I needed to be there. He meets my gaze and I feel my throat go dry again, his eyes burning green.

"Yes" I finally says. I nod happy to move and grab his plate as well as mine to move but he grabs them. "I need to talk to Andrew" He offers as explanation. I nod and sit again to find Nike looking at me. She smiles. She had finished eating and drains her glass then starts to hum. Before rising.

"I'm ready" She says to Tye who nods and walks to the door. She smiles down to me "See you later" Then walks to the sink where May washed up humming the whole way. I recognised the tune but I couldn't place it. Tori calls me over and I move to sit closer to her Simon had gone with Derek. As I sit down I place the tune. Love is all around. For the fourth time this morning my cheeks heat. What was Nike thinking, me and Derek? I swallow as Tori starts to talk. I couldn't like Derek more than a friend could I?
