Chapter Eleven

I don't own anything from Darkest powers only my characters and the plot

A/N Just to let you know. Updates might be a little slower as I'm now living with my aunt due to having some building work done on our house and she doesn't have an internet connection. One thing is good I'm writing a lot more since I can't read fanfiction. Try to update soon.

Previously…

"We need to find Tye" Andrew breaks the silence his voice grave bringing me out of my thoughts. I look quickly to Andrew realising I had been staring at Chloe.

"Quickly" Helen adds raising her head. I catch her eyes they were scared and nervous but something in me, the wolf in me told me that it wasn't for the reasons we thought. I frown at the thought but it has to be. Didn't it?

Chloe

We were three people down. Tye hadn't called by this morning so Edward, Mark and Melissa had left. Melissa had been a surprise but in the end she hadn't wanted to leave mark. None of us had realised how deep there relationship was. On relationships Derek had been distant. He would answer my questions but that was it. It was probably his dad. Simon is quiet and distant.

We moved quickly after that. Andrew taking Simon and Tori in one car, May Derek and I were in the other with Helen. May drove at break speed ignoring any stop signs. We were beeped more than once by angry drivers. I didn't know what to think. Nike was dangerous she was leading Tye to the Edison Group. She was leading us to the group. After we had spent so long running from them we were running to them. Would I find out what had happened to Aunt Lauren? I had managed to push away thoughts of her as I couldn't afford to be distracted but Nike's betrayal had me remembering. Derek and been quiet the whole journey. He looked out of the windows or at Helen. Who sat in passenger seat looking older than ever and tense. I managed to sleep as we drove through the night only to dream of seeing Tye and Nike's decomposed bodies coming at me. I wasn't scared though, not of them but when I saw the expression on their faces I felt the cold fingers of fear grip me. I was scared of what had killed them, at what was coming for me. I wake screaming when I heard a familiar chuckle.

"CHLOE!" Derek was looking straight at me now his eyes wide his hand clutching mine tightly. I squeeze so glad that he was here with me "Chloe are you alright?"

"Just a dream" I murmur my voice weak and breathless. I was covered in a cold sweat and shivered.

"It's ok then" Derek comforts. A few days ago this would never have happened but now I smile shakily at him. I move a little feeling braver than before. Derek stiffens for a second before looking me in the eyes. His green ones seemed to be uncertain before they closed. He reaches for me unbuckling my seat belt and drawing me closer to him. His warmth instantly warmed me and I relax into him. I shiver again as I close my eyes. I see the body's hear the laugh.

"Would it help if you told me about it?" Derek asks quietly. I didn't know but I didn't want to leave his arms. It felt so right.

"I saw Tye and Nike" I start talking into his chest "they were t-t-t-they w-w-w-were"

"Slow" He commands gently. Before I had been insulted now it had a different meaning. It showed that he cared.

"Corpses" I whisper slowing and concentrating "they were coming at me, no" I realise "they were coming to warn me. I was so scared then I heard this l-l-laugh it was so familiar I…" I stop talking. I had heard that laugh before I knew I had. Derek pulls me closer his nose brushing against the top of my head.

"It's ok" He mumbles as I pull away slightly to look up to him his arms tighten. His eyes were thoughtful, and what ever those thoughts were they weren't good.

"What is it?" I ask. He looks down to me his eyes telling me something.

"Nothing important" I nod as I get his look. It was important but he couldn't tell me now.

"Well tell me later if you want" I lean back into him wrapping one of my arms around his. I didn't want to move but I didn't have the courage to tell him. I used all that up kissing him a few nights ago, and now he was ignoring me.

"Ok" His voice was a low rumble that I could feel vibrate through his chest. I smile closing me eyes. My eyes grew heavy and I feel myself start to drift off to sleep. I shake my head to wake myself. Now wasn't the time.

"Its ok sleep" Derek moves so that I was more comfortable resting against him. I breathe in deeply as I close my eyes once more.

I wake with a jolt as the car pulls to the stop I fall forwards. I preparing myself for the impact of floor and seat but end up being pulled against Derek. I gasp in shock fully awake.

"Are you ok?" Derek whispers in my ear his breath tickling my ear. I shiver.

"Y-y-yes" I stutter.

"Sure?" Why had I had to stutter?

"Yes" I focus on not stuttering earning myself release not that I wasn't extremely happy where I had been. I step out side the car we were parked on a non-descript road. It was pitch black and I wait for my eyes to adjust to the darkness causing Derek to pull me to the side pavement. Stupid werewolf sight. Once focused I see another car pull up in front of ours and Andrew open the back door causing a sleeping Simon to fall out. And to my shock with him a sleeping Tori. I stare in disbelief as I see their hands entwined.

"It can't be" I whisper to Derek.
"No I see it too" I look up to see Derek smirking slightly but his eyes were still guarded flickering around as soon as he saw Simon and Tori, well mostly Simon get up. I watched as they came to rest on Helen. She was apart from us and the others who had joined us. She was looking around her eyes wide and when her phone rang she nearly jumped into the road. As she listened the colour in her cheeks drained and she looked paler than any ghost, and I would know.

"Derek?" Simon whispers. He had been watching Derek as well.

"We need to leave. Now" Derek hisses at us his eyes never leaving Helen slowly filling with anger. I look to Helen in shock. What? I was frozen to the spot even as Simon and Tori started to walk away slowly.

"Chloe" Derek's warm hand gives me a little shove in the direction of Simon and Tori. I stumble forward, catch myself then start to walk my legs feeling weak. Another person had betrayed us. I didn't know what Helen was doing or had done or what her reasons were and all I felt was tiered.

"Run" At the whispered command I pick up the speed. Now too used to running away and that's when I felt the fear. We were close to the Edison group all the running had been useless.

I still couldn't see as well as Derek and I tripped a few times.

"Kids!" I hear Andrew and May shout from behind us. Were they involved?

"Keep going" Derek commands us. Simon and Tori were in front and Derek uttered directions.

"Left" So Simon turned a hard right. Street lights were on now lighting the night in a yellow glow. I could hear only our breathing and footsteps. We had lost them. Or they hadn't chased us? What did that mean?

"Derek explain" I stop running my legs shaky and weak. I lean against a shop front breathing heavily. I needed to know what was happening.

"Helen, she called the Edison Group. She told them of Tye and Nike going to them she told them we were coming"

"Helen?" I ask in disbelief moving closer to Derek, she seemed to hate the Edison group more than all of us.

"Why?" Simon asks taking a step closer to Tori who was stony faced.

"I don't know all I know is we have to-" Derek cuts of sharply his nostrils flaring. His eyes widen in recognition before he grabs me and backs to the shop front, covering me with his body.

"Derek!" I exclaim more scared than I was before. Whatever had Derek reacting like that couldn't be good. Only one thing made him act like this. Well two things. My eyes widen and my breath leaves me in a whoosh.

"Derek, is it…"

"Yes, with Tye and Nike" I hear the laugh echo in the night.
