Disclaimer: I own plot, and nothing else.

Rae looked back at us blankly for a minute, then she strolled in the room, and turned and shut the door quietly.

A cold shiver ran through me when I heard her lock the door.

She turned back to us. "I followed Simon." She said simply, then turned to him. "You really need to learn how to sneak better. I'm surprised, considering all the sneaking you did from me." She said, rolling her eyes, then smiling.

"W-what?" I asked, confused. I shook my head. I couldn't stutter, I couldn't let her know I was neverous. "Rae, please, you've got to leave." I whispered.

Simon slowly inched closer to me. He took my hand in his, hidden behind my back. Nothing romantic, or at least I didn't see it that way. His hard gaze pierced Rae. She seemed unfazed by it.

"Chloe," Rae said, giving me a chilling look. Simon squeezed my hand, as if to say It's alright.

"Chloe, I'm sorry." She shook her head sadly. I knew better than to believe the sad look in her eyes. Though my instincts told me to run, I was anchored down my Simon hand around mine.

"Rae, leave." Simon said in a harsh growl. For a second, he reminded me of Derek.

"Chloe, I'm sorry. But I have to kill you now." Her face twisted for a second, almost morphing, then twisting into a calm face.

Simon's other hand bore sparks, little gold flits that danced around his fingertips.

"Rae," I stared at her with disbelief. "Why? Why did you join them? Their only using you,. After-"

Rae laughed, and I shook my head. This couldn't be happening. I knew I shouldn't have trusted her.

But where was the Rae I knew? The Rae that had welcomed me at the safe house, the one who was fighting with us, not against us.

"I can't believe this. You're….you're horrible Rae." I muttered.

Simon stood so his body guarded mine, like Derek had always done when there was trouble.

Derek. If only Derek was here-

Rae's eyes turned blood red, and she shocked Simon somehow, which sent him flying to the floor, his hand ripping apart from mine.

His head smashed into the table, which collapsed. Blood ran down his face from his forehead. He appeared to be knocked out.

I quickly turned back to Rae, who knocked me to the floor, slamming my head hard on the floor.

If only Derek were here. He could help me, save me. I had this lame power that only-

No. Derek's gone. You have to Fight this for yourself.

I kicked her, and she wailed, but didn't move. She pierced me with a gaze, and believe me, if looks could kill, this one was enough to kill me, bring me back, and drive a stake through my heart.

I felt a zap run through my body, and I became numb. Rae grabbed my hair, making me scream, and flung me across the room, crashing down next to Simon, who was motionless.

Rae kicked me in the knee, and then brought her hands down to my throat, as if to choke me.

I tried to push her off, but settled for kicking her in the back of her head. So hard, I could hear the impact.

She quickly placed one hand on her head. Her body heated-and by heated I mean I thought I was going to go up in flames-And I struggled under her weight.

She glared back at me. "You're done Chloe. Finally. You thought we couldn't find you? You thought we were gone? Nice try." Her voice faltered, almost changing into a gruffer, manlier voice.

"And you call yourself a necromancer." Her voice turned normal again.

"Rae!" I shouted as my skin burned. "Why! Why did you…you betray us? Their going to kill you!" I shouted. I could feel the heat burning through my skin.

She sneered, and I thought I heard Simon groan. I was so close, If I could scream one more time maybe he'd-

"You still don't get it. I thought you were supposed to be smart. When you were escaping, you were smart."

Her voice changed again, and her face twisted again, bareing the resemblance of someone I didn't dare think of.

"SIMON!" I screamed. My arms were now bleeding, as were my legs, and I was going numb. Patches of black danced around my vison.

To me relief, his eyelids fluttered. He sudden bounced up, the sparks ragging from her fingers, gaining powers. Suddenly, he collapsed on Rae, knocking her off of me and sending her flying into the wall. Her head hit it with a thunk.

She recovered fast, and as Simon was helping me back up, she moved her hands in an awkward motion, like she was scooping the air, then pushing it toward us. Simon went flying, hit the wall on the other side of the room, and slumped down. Blood pooled from his head.

She turned to me next, and an invisible force hit me, smacking me down. She appeared on top of me again, her eyes red. She pinned me totally down, my body becoming weak; numb.

She smiled wickedly at me. And then it hit me.

"You're not Rae." I blurted, blood streaking down my legs and arms.

She didn't answer, but her face twisted.

"Smart. You being a Necromancer, it would be in you're best interest to learn how body possession works." She said, her voice lowering.

That confirmed it. This wasn't Rae. That was the good part. The bad part? I was her body.

"Bye Chloe." Dr. Davidoff said in his real voice.

And as Simon got up, Dr. Davidoff brought Rae's fingers to my throat.

PS: This is part ONE of two parts to chapter nineteen. Don't worry-ill pick up exactly where I left off. The next one might be short. It will appear as chapter 19, too.

So! There it is!
