I walked away from them, Valentina right behind me.
"Valentina, please I want to be alone" I told her
"Chloe I just want to make sure that you know what your doing" she said
"Yes, I do. I know where I belong and who I belong with no one is changing that" I told her and walked away
" Where are you going?" she asked me
"To my room" I told her
ALEK(POV)
I was tied up with a few people from the London pride when Jasmine came as for me to excuse my self.
"What happened?" I asked her
"Chloe, have you seen her?" she asked me
"She was with your mom" I said
As I looked around I found Valentina walking back into the room. Jasmine and I walked to her and asked where Chloe was
"She went to her room" she told us, we left and went to find her
"Chloe?" I asked as I opened the door, she saw sitting outside in the balcony
"Yea" she said
"Chloe is everything ok?" Jasmine asked
"Yeah perfect, I have a meeting tomorrow with the council" she told us
"WHAT!" we said together
"Yeah, Nick? I think that's his name came and told me that his dad was taking me tomorrow to taxes to apart of their pride because in San Francisco I lost to many lives. I went to talk to Valentina and heard his dad tell her that the council has already decided on it and I got mad. So I told them I wanted a meeting with them, that I was going to decided where I was going to be" she told us
"Do you want us there?" I asked
"Yes please I need everyone there my mom, Amy and Paul" she said, she turned around and walked inside
"I'm going to shower" she said, gave me a kiss on the cheek and went to the bathroom.
"Can they do that?" I asked Jasmine
"I don't know, but we need to talk to my mom" she said started to walk out
"I cant leave Chloe alone, not now. Talk to her and let me know what she says or bring her here" I told her, she nodded and left. Chloe came out after a while changed into pajamas.
"How you feeling?" I asked her
"There just want to get tomorrow over with" she said
"I cant believe that you called a council meeting, your amazing" I told her, she looked at me and smiled
"Yeah well no one tells me where to go with even asking me first" she said and laid down next to me
"Lets get some rest. Valentina will be here early tomorrow to explain how things are going" I told her
I went to get changed, as I got back Chloe had already fallen asleep. The next morning Valentina and Jasmine knocked on the door, Chloe was up in the bathroom so I answered the door already dressed.
"Good you guys are up" Valentina said
"Now, this is going to be a battle to see who can get the Uniter. After her meeting call everyone last night was talking about what they can do to change her mind and go with their pride" she said, Chloe came out
"I don't care what they say, do, or give me my mind is made up. Lets go before we get there late" she said grabbing her bag and walking out. We got the meeting room, there was a table and all the council members were sitting down already. Chloe's mom, Amy and Paul were standing to the side. Jasmine and I joined them as Chloe sat at the head with Valentina next to her.
"You all know why this meeting was called" Chloe started
"Uniter, you need to be some where safe, that is not San Francisco. The pride there…." The pride leader of Paris said
"The pride in SF has done nothing but protect me, each one giving up their safety to ensure my own. I am not here to debate or ask you where you think I should be. I'm here to tell you that I am not leaving SF" she said, they started to whisper.
"Quite!" she yelled
"I am the Uniter but do any of you know my name?" she asked looking around
"Do you know who those people are and what they mean to me?" she asked point our way
"No, you don't. My title is Uniter but I am Mai. My home is SF, my pride leader is Valentina and my protectors are Alek and Jasmine. It WILL remain that way until I SAY other wise" she said. I have never seen her like that, such power and authority.
CHLOE (POV)
I needed to make sure that they understood what I was telling them, some looked confused.
"Uniter, we are only looking out for you" some guy to my right said
"I understand, you don't know my story. I never lost my life because I wasn't protect right, I lost my life but a foolish act. My life was taken by a man that pushed off the top of a tower, that's when we found out that I was the Uniter. It was never because of Valentina's lack of protection" I said they all started to whisper again.
"Pleas listen. I wont say this again. I stay in SF, end of discussion, any one has a problem with it they can come and see me. Do not bother Valentina or any one else, its my decision and mines alone" I told them.
I got up and started to walk away.
"What if we take up anyways" Nick's dad said getting up
"The least thing I want is blood spilled by our own people, but if you cant not respect my choice then there will be a fight, we need to work together not against each other. You want to help protect me? Send your people to the SF pride and add to their protecting and their hunters. I have my own and am fine with them. No one will replace them, nor my pride leader. UNDERSTOOD!" I said getting mad, people nodded and didn't say anything, I walked out with every one behind me.
"Wow, Chloe that was amazing" Amy said
"So cool" Paul told me. I turn to look at them and just focused at Valentina
"I'm proud of you. You're Uniter we have been waiting for. You did good" she said
"Chloe, I have never seen any one tell the pride leader of Taxes off like that" Jasmine said
"You did great, love" Alek told me.
Thank Basset they were there because I would have not had to strength to do that.
