AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! SDLKFEITKVJD;LKFJAN ARENVAJF;NVA I HATE MY LAPTOP WITH THAT STUPID GLITCH THAT MAKES EVERYTHING BOLD!!!! *aggravated sigh* Sorry…my Cosmo-Muse is singing louder then my Derek-Muse, which is why I haven't been updating very often. Ya know how hard it is for you to write something when your hearts not in it?

But oooooh, is Heidi a shaman? *GASP*

I OWN NOTHING!!!!

(Derek's POV)

I swear, I can't leave that girl alone for five minutes. Chloe was gone for what? An hour? An hour and a half? I don't know, and I honestly don't give a damn.

I sighed, aggravated, as I sped down the old country road that I was on.

And yes, I was driving.

No, I don't have a license. It's kinda hard to stop and apply for one when you're on the run from a stalker group of people who are hell-bent on keeping you 'safe'. Plus, I've dealt with worse things then cops.

My brother was a Sorcerer! My…Er, acquaintance, was a Witch! And my friend was a Necromancer for Pete sake! Cops were waaaaay down on the 'be scared of list'.

As I drove into the cul-de-sac road that Simon had told me was the Thomas' house.

I didn't stop at their house though. I had to find the graveyard-

I clutched the steering wheel until my knuckles turned pale…er.

Didn't Chloe know that there was a graveyard here?! It's just like, 'hey, I'm here, come raise the dead so we can get busted by the people who are trying to kill us!'

…but then again, it is Chloe…

As I pulled into the graveyard road, I saw a couple of little kids run out of the yard, briefly coming into the light of my headlights. It was at least ten! What were those kids doing out here?

I got out of the car and was immediately greeted by the smell of rotting flesh. Chloe had been here. That's for sure.

"Chloe?" I called, seeing a couple of corpses lying around out of their graves. I kinda kicked one back inside of the grave because I felt bad, but I wasn't going to act as Chloe's clean up crew.

I just needed to find her.

I need to find her, and kill her, then possibly get Simon to bring her back to life (could he do that?) so I could kill her again, and again, and again, and –

The scent hit me, and Chloe had been right.

Liam had been here.

Either looking for me or, (and the thought sickened me so much) looking for Chloe. But he just wanted me, right?

…right?

"Chloe?" I called again, louder. "Chloe, damn it, you better not be dead! That's my job."

Still no answer.

I guess my wolf senses kicked in, because I could smell her – that black hair dye mixed with dirt, baby drool, and -

Blood?

If Liam even touched her, I swear I'm gonna –

I started shaking in fury and thinking of the many ways how I could kill Liam (for some reason, it kinda calmed me down), I followed her scent. I come across another body, only it's different.

It's in the middle of no where. No, I mean, where one body was raised, normally there would be like, five more around it. But this one was just by itself. And there isn't a grave open. I was about to move on when it twitched slightly. Which means Chloe should be near here.

"Chloe!"

Still nothing! What is wrong with-?!

Then it hits me.

That is Chloe. Unconscious and bleeding. And for a moment I don't know what to do. It's like I'm in shock.

Who-?

What-?

So many questions came to mind, but I just shut my mouth and knelt next to her, and tried shaking her awake.

"Chloe!" The blood is mainly coming from her head, and some of it is on the tombstone near her head…so she probably tripped. A small smile appeared on my lips and I was surprised to see it. But hey, it's typical Chloe.

I try shaking her again, and then I realize that Liam might still be around here. I try and get his scent, but I can't get anything.

Which is good.

And also bad, because he could just be getting out of range so he could come back later. So I probably needed to get her and me – mainly her – away from here, babysitting or not.

Picking Chloe up, I weaved in and out of the dead bodies and various open graves, almost falling into one. When I got to the car, I shifted her into my left arm and opened the door of the car.

Awkwardly putting her in the passenger seat, I shut the door and got in to the driver side. I turned the key into the car – actually, Andrew's car – and drove out of the graveyard and into the driveway of the Thomas house.

Talk about fairytale house.

Getting Chloe out of the car again and opening the house door, I walked inside and set her down on the living room couch. God, this house was even worse on the inside. Where did the designer get these ideas anyway, from Cinderella? Snow White?

And Chloe said something about kids…

…what kids?

I didn't see any kids in the living room…maybe they were hiding from me. Not the first time I freaked someone out by the way I looked…It seemed forever for Chloe to get used to me 'sneaking up on her'.

I grabbed a paper towel from the kitchen, and wet it. Then I dabbed it on the gash in Chloe's head. It was kinda deep…

She winced in her sleep, and moaned a little.

This was all my fault. I should have forced her to stay at Andrew's with us. But then how Hitler would I sound then?

And the real question is: would she have listened to me?

No.

She never listens.

Ever.

I'm about to go get another paper towel (the one I have now is almost soaked in blood) but Chloe opens her eyes and looks at me.

Yeah, yeah, BOOO right? WRONG! XD Review!

Oh, and a note to Moon-Called-Princess: is ":)" all you can ever say in a review? XD
