I don't own the Darkest Powers trilogy I only own my OC's and the plot for this story.

Please review. Now onwards with chapter eight…

Previously

"Go to hell" She mutters darkly and I smile in triumph. My anger and emotions settling down. Good if I kept this up I might be able to make it out of this alive. The only question was if Nike would be with me? I really hated how part of me was hoping she would be.

Chapter Eight

Nike

We arrived in the early morning I hadn't needed to drive, which was good since I had been really tiered. Letting go of all your emotions obviously was more tiring than I remembered. The bad thing was, Tye was irritable normally and he had been pissed off earlier well now with driving all night he was a nightmare.

"Just decide what you want it's not that hard it's just the breakfast menu!" The shops had just been opening when we arrived and as we drove down the street the scent of a cooked breakfast had hit us and with out talking we decided to stop. I had been deciding what to have for only thirty seconds before Tye had started moaning.

"I've just looked at the menu!" I snap back. As early as it was we were not the only people in the small café, and our arguing was drawing the attention of sleepy customers. Tye just rolled his eyes. I look back to the menu choosing the biggest breakfast they had, we had a long day ahead. A day we hadn't even talked about.

"Ready" I say. I hadn't finished my sentence before Tye was signalling to the waitress.

"What if I was going to say I didn't want anything from here?" I couldn't help it; I knew it was my fault that he was in this mood but come on! We had to work together.

"Tough I would order for you and force you to eat" He growls as the waitress approaches. She must have heard as her eyes widen in alarm. I look to her and smile.

"Don't worry about him, he hasn't had his caffeine hit today" She nods uncertainly but smiles shakily asking for my order first.

"The big breakfast with everything and a white coffee" She notes it down taking longer than I thought necessary before looking to Tye. She was really unnerved by him I mean he didn't look that dangerous… Ok I take then back. Tye was dressed in the same black top and dark jeans as yesterday but now they were wrinkled. His blonde hair was sticking up from where he'd run his hand through it. He looked like an angry angel only his black eyes told you he was probably a fallen angel.

"Ok so that's two big breakfast with everything and two coffee's one white one black?"

"Yep" I pop the p. She smiles again before making a hasty retreat.

"Can we talk now?" I ask. Tye was hunched over the table but sits up to look at me.

"Can it wait till after I eat?"

"No"

"Fine what do you think is the best approach?" I sit back as well picking up the fork on the table and spinning it between my fingers.

"I'm not sure like I mentioned last night I don't know where he's kept lay out the best. I know the basics"

"How do you even know he's there?" Tye asks instead of helping plan. I guess it was going to take a hell of a lot to make him trust me. I just wish this would work. Tye trusting me was important to me. I hadn't a clue why it just was.

"When I came back from a job" I saw his face crinkle with distaste "They were bringing him in I saw him but thought nothing of it. It wasn't till I heard them gloating about it later that I knew he was important to them. With this job when I was waiting for them I heard some guys mention it again. How we should use their dad to get to them"

"Why didn't they?"

"Their dads clever he would find a way to warn them or escape he's too valuable to them" Tye nods as our breakfast arrives. The woman leaves again nearly dropping the plates.

"Could you stop glaring at me? Your making a scene not mentioning nearly getting my breakfast dropped on my lap!" I hiss.

"I couldn't even if I wanted to do" Tye hisses back his black eyes hardening. I roll mine then give in to the heavenly scent of hot food. Through mouthfuls I talk.

"What do you think of going undercover?" I ask. Tye looks up to me one eyebrow raised.

"What with you 'taking me in'?" I nod "I don't think! so we do this the traditional way. Using the element of surprise and our abilities"

"I'm not taking you to them! I'm trying to gain your trust!" I wait for him to scoff or something what I didn't expect was for him to lean forward his black eyes seeming to melt a little. I feel my heart skip a little. Oh crap.

"Now you brought it up, why is that? Why do you want me to trust you? I mean I'm just a werewolf, while back at the house there a witches and demidemons more powerful than me and they already trust you?"

"You want us to die don't you?!" I sigh angrily while my heart hammered away in my chest. I hope the clangs and bangs from the kitchen covered them up. I really didn't want to see him smiling smugly over his effect on me.

"No I'm just curious" He smiles slightly.

"If this was a job then I would want everyone to trust me. But since this isn't-" I had been speaking out of annoyance but now stumble what did I say? "But since this isn't I-I" I needed to think! I look down to the table and speak quickly "Ijustwantyoutotrustme"

"What?" He asks I could here the grin in his voice.

"I just want you to trust me" I say slower but still quietly. I wait for him to laugh tell me I had a long wait but instead I feel him lean back and continue to eat a bite. I follow his lead.

"So as I was saying I think we should use surprise and our abilities. Obviously mines not much good at the moment, I still have strength though. You have the whole fire thing going."

"Where are you going with this?" I ask unease churning up my stomach.

"Well" Tye had finished eating and looks to me his arms crossed over his chest "I suggest you start a small fire and while everyone else is evacuating we move in"

"What if some people get caught in the fire?" My voice cracks. How could he be thinking this?

"It will be fine we will make sure it's in a safe place and small enough so it doesn't spread quickly but large enough to cause an evacuation"

The smell of burning brick and flesh once again fills my nostrils, the heat of the fire chasing me as I fled.

"What if they move to the side of the building?" I ask thinking of any excuse.

"Where the fire could spread there next?" He counters. Damn. I look to him not able to keep the panic showing. What if I couldn't stop the flames? I could control my power but not a scale this big! Tye must have seen something and I stop panicking, with one of those rare heart racing moments where he seems to read my mind.

"You'll be fine I won't let it get out of control" His eyes once again softening before using his normal tone again. "Now let's get the details sorted out"

We had finished sorting the last of the details. We would attack early afternoon after Tye had gotten some sleep. My stomach was rolling with nerves now that he was gone; he had to visit the little boy's room, which is why I jumped a little when the waitress came back. She had a worried expression.

"Hey" She says softly her eyes flicking to the door Tye had just stepped through.

"Hey?" I say back taking a deep breath to calm myself.

"I don't want to sound rude it's just that…" She looks to the door again "I'm just going to come out with this" I nod "I noticed the way you two were and I just want to say get out now. He maybe handsome and I'm sure he can be charming but you need to get out before he gets violent" I stare at her in shock "My sister had a boyfriend like you and she was scared to leave him but now she's free of him her life is so much better. She's happy now" I keep staring not sure what to say. It explained why she was so wary around Tye. She thought he was like her sister's ex-boyfriend.

"Erm" I say when I realise she was waiting for me to say something "It's not like that, really I'm not just saying that. He's just really tiered from driving so long" She looked to me with a knowing glint I needed something more to convince her "and he's just so upset we're heading to Buffalo to go to his grandfathers funeral" I keep my voice even letting a little sympathy slip in. I was good at lying even now with my stomach in knots. Her eye widen in embarrassment and sympathy.

"Oh I'm sorry!" I felt bad for lying to her.

"It's fine. I'm really glad you came over to speak to me-" We were both saved from saying anything more as Tye came back. I see her eyes widen again and to save both of us more embarrassment I stand. Walking to meet Tye half way smiling at him. I wrap an arm around his waist. He looks down to my surprised. I pinch him trying to tell him to play along.

"Hey Sugar you ready to go, it's best we get this over with. You'll feel much better after the funeral" I say sweetly. Tye catching on quick. Wraps an arm round me.

"You're right Sweetie" He looks quickly to the waitress before me she was looking a little embarrassed.

"Lets go" The I smile to her. "Thanks" I say meaningfully she smiles back and waves her cheeks pink.

"It's ok sorry for before"

"No don't be" I tell her meaningfully. She should warn girls about those sicko's out there.

We were silent in the car until we got to the cheap double motel room. I collapse on the bed. I may have slept on the way here but I would need my rest for later.

"What was earlier about?" Tye finally ask. I had been waiting for it.

"The waitress, her sister had an abusive boyfriend she thought you were abusing me. So I told her that you were just tiered and that we were going to your grandfather's funeral"

"Oh" Tye say's nothing and I look to see him sprawled in the other flower printed bed his eyes already closed. I let him sleep while I force my stomach to calm down. I managed but then started to think about how nice it was Tye being nice to me calling me Sweetie, it was cheesy but I couldn't explain to myself why and how good that felt. Damn him it was all his fault. I couldn't wait till this afternoon now. When I would be able to think of something else.

A/N I want to keep writing a chapter from Nike's POV then Chloe's but since for now most of the action is with Nike the next chapter from Chloe will be short. Maximum, Chloe will have two short chapters but then they will get longer as the plot progresses. I'll stop there don't want to give too much away.

Oh and does anyone know what Derek and Simon's dad is called?

Thanks again for the reviews. I love each one.
