Alrighty, this is a long one. The last (not including the Epilogue) chapter.

Disclaimer: I own plot, and nothing else. (Well…I do own something…a couple somethings. But I don't wanna ruin it!)

We snuck out a side door from the room, into a different small hallway Adele identified as number three. It was much longer than any of the others we'd taken. The hall seemed to section off into two different halls at the very far end. The hall was deserted, thought it was full of doors.

"Kit is in the fifth hall." Adele announced, dropping the dead guards cell -which she used to text Kit- in a near by trash can which awkwardly stood out in the bare hallway.

We all filed down the hall as silently as we could, ready to jump when Adele said so.

"How will we know which room?" Simon whispered from in front of me.

"I'll smell her." Derek answered quietly. Adele nodded from the front and we kept moving.

We were almost to the very end of the hall, and my hopes were high, when the door behind us swung open.

Everyone started to run, but I halted when I realized Adele, who was the one directly in front of the door, wasn't moving. After a second of studying her, I realized she was kissing someone. I titled my head and realized she was making out with Nick, who had come from the door.

Everyone ahead of me stopped, and stared at them. Derek looked confused, then his face became uneasy with knowing.

Nick had her pinned to him by her waist, and the kiss became…intense. If it was up to them, I would bet they'd never let go.

But we were in Edison Group territory. As sweet as their reunion might be, this was not the place.

"We have to go!" Simon hissed.

Adele finally pulled apart from Nick. "Come with us." She begged him. He sadly shook his head. "I can't leave."

Derek studied the two with great intensity. I could tell he would never call them "Mom" and "Dad."

"Nick," Adele whined. He caressed her cheek. She gave him a strange look. "Why?" she asked him. He studied her, then lightly pressed his lips to hers.

Then he slowly let go of her, and disappeared behind the door again.

The sound of footsteps echoced from somewhere, and everyone became tense. Adele, tears starting to stream down her face, quickly led us down the hallway and into the left branch at the end.

The first thing I noticed about the hall -hall five- was that it was wider. The second thing was that it was strangely dark. There were only a few doors, which narrowed the chances to pick the wrong door.

Derek stiffened, and I stopped. Simon looked back at us, confused, then whispered, "Adele!"

"Derek?" I whispered. He stayed put, his expression confused. I heard Adele stifle a yelp and quickly looked up.

"Sorry," Kit whispered from beside Adele. Derek brought his head up to look at Mr. Bae and his expression relaxed.

There was a dead silence in the hall. "Do you smell her?" I asked Derek. He looked around, paused, then nodded.

We heard voices from a door across from where we stood and everyone remained silent, depserate to listen.

We heard a cry, and with a start, realized it was Tori's.

Kit looked to each of us, his eyes remaining on us long enough to know what he what we were doing.

We all waited for three seconds, and then charged the door like wild animals.

What I saw made me sick.

Tori, bloody and knocked out, was laying on a bed, looking….dead. Two nurses and one doctor stood around her, ready to inject something.

Derek charged the nurse with the needle and tackled her. The doctor spun around just in time for Mr. Bae to knock him over the side of the head. The doctor tumbled to the ground, and Derek got up, revealing a crumbled nurse. I hurried, seeing the second nurse was trying to get help, and I tripped her, sending her to the floor. Simon stepped in from there and zapped her with some kind of magic.

I stepped back to see Derek holding Tori in his arms, ready to bolt. "She's still breathing!" He announced. Adele appeared next to him.

"Simon, Chloe, we'll look for the babies." She looked between us, her voice rough, like she had just gotten over a good cry.

"He…" Tori muttered dreamily from Derek's arms. Everyone immediately turned to her.

She screamed and kicked, trying to get out of his arms. Mr. Bae rushed over. "Sweetie?" He murmured, studying her.

She still appeared to be asleep.

She made a strange noise…it almost sounded like…like crying.

"They took him. They took my baby!" She wailed. Derek lifted her higher up against his chest.

Mr. Bae turned to us. "We'll take her to the car. It's right outside in the-"

They door burst open, filled with at least seven people. Edison Group workers.

Adele quickly turned to me as they flooded the room, and Derek handed Tori over to Simon quickly and Mr. Bae told Simon something. Simon looked back and rushed out a side door.

"Chloe! Find the bab-" Two men swarmed her, and she took down the first one easily. I darted for the door, leaving Derek, Adele and Kit to fight.

I paused. How I could I leave them to fight? There were seven of them, and-

Find the babies!

I looked around the room. A nurse turned quickly from a sink, with a baby in her hands. I quickly approached her, and let my fist slam into her face and I carefully slipped my arms around the baby as the nurse retreated quickly through another door.

The baby cried, and I looked down into it's eyes. My breath caught.

It was undeniable this child was related to Derek somehow.

I wondered if this is how our children would look-

I heard a few screams and a lot of rustling, and then rushed footsteps heading my way…

I held the bay close to me.

"Shhh." I cooed, desperate to keep her quiet. Now don't ask me how, but somehow I just knew it was a girl. I ducked into a room without really looking into it. For some reason, the baby stopped crying.

I heard footsteps in the room, and my breath caught. I heard a door open, then close, and then my door opened-

It was Simon.

I let out a breath of relief.

Simon looked to me, then the baby. I saw a warmth taking over his eyes and he reached out to her.

"Can I…hold her?" He asked gently. I looked down at the pretty little baby girl in my hands, nodded, and gently shifted her into Simons arms.

"Support the head," I warned.

I quickly looked around, desperate to find Tori's other babies.

"Adele has him." Simon said suddenly/ I turned back to him, to find his niece practically asleep in his arms.

I noticed then that she was a lot bigger than usual babies. She seemed to be more calm, too. I wondered if that was common for supernatural children, or if was just Simon's usual calming effect.

I pursed my lips. "Adele has…the baby?" I asked. Simon nodded, and looked down to the baby girl, totally transfixed by her.

"What about the third-" I started, but I was cut off by the noise of footsteps. Coming from…behind the wall? Simon looked up.

"That's not us." He said. He looked around and quickly, and gestured to his head for us to leave.

I ran - Simon fast walked, scared he would hurt the baby, I assumed - And when we reappeared in the room, the sight made me stomach twist. Simon held the baby more toward him, so she wouldn't have to see such an awful sight.

Mangled body parts laid scattered, blood stained just about everything. Everyone looked scarred - Kit, Adele, Derek - And I looked to the baby in Adele's arms, which she was cooing too and warmth flooded through me.

A little baby girl and boy…

I was an Aunt.

Sort of.

"Get her to Tori," Derek said, looking to Simon. "Lauren is taking care of her." He added, looking at me. His brows scrunched in confusion. Kit's did too.

"Wait…I thought she was pregnant with thr-"

The footsteps and yelling got louder.

"GO!" Adele demanded, her head shooting up in alarm, her eyes wide. Everyone rushed to the door, and Derek grabbed my hand, trying to pull me along. "Wait!" I screamed.

Derek stopped, confused, as everyone else made their way out. I looked back into the building.

"Tori's other baby!" I willed him to let me go look for him/her. There was no way, after looking into the innocent little eyes of her children I could let one stay in this horrible place.

The footsteps grew louder, Derek cussed and quickly grabbed me and ran, with me in his arms, through the room and into the next, farther from the footsteps.

We were in a fork in a hallway, and honestly, I didn't know where to look.

"This way," Derek mumbled, then looking to me, took my hand, and dragged me to the left hall.

The second door in the hallway was the one we entered, and to my surprise and relief it was empty.

To my dismay, I couldn't see or hear a baby. Derek grunted.

"I swear I smelt…check that room." He pointed to the right and I nodded, and he went over to the left door and peeked in.

I went over to the right wall, where a hard, heavy metal door stood. I furrowed my brows. Why would something like this be here?

I fumbled with the handle, and with all my strength, was able to push the door open.

I left the door open and gaped at what I saw.

A boy and a girl, both looking my age and rather pale, were tied up to a table like I was. Except when I say "tied up" I mean literally, with a huge rope.

I heard sobs, and hesitantly walked in. I walked close enough to see features on the girl's face, who was crying. She long had auburn hair, which was splattered across the table. Up close, I realized she was a little younger, maybe sixteen?

Her chest was heaving, and I realized she was crying.

Suddenly her eyes flashed open, revealing the most dazzling hazel eyes. I jumped, and she let our a squeal.

I tried to keep my breathing normal, and then I realized her eyes were rimmed with…red?

"Who the hell are you?" The boy said in a gruff voice, trying to stay calm.

I turned to him to see he had an athletic figure, a few muscles showing through his white T-shirt. He also had auburn hair, which hung in his identical hazel eyes. Which were also rimmed with a rusty red color. He looked about….seventeen?

It took me a moment to settle down.

"Who are you?" I countered, backing up.

"You're here to kill us!" The girl wailed. "But it's not fair! We don't even know what happened to us!" She pleaded.

I shook my head. "No! I'm not-"

"If you're going to do it, just do it quickly," The boy whispered, sending chills down my spine. His voice was so cold, so filled of hatred.

"I'm on your side!" I said quickly, before he could say anything else.

They were silent for I minute, and I remembered how scare I was when things started happening to me. How horrified and confused…

I walked up and untied to girl first, undoing knots and loops for a while before the ropes finally fell to the ground.

Before I could blink, literally, there was a blur and she was beside the boy, undoing the knots frantically. I blinked.

"How…did you…?" I shook my head, confused and to be honest, a little scared. She looked blankly up at me.

"Avril," The boy said in a worried tone. The girl- Avril -turned back to him, not leaving my gaze without a suspicious look. The boy suddenly went stiff as she struggled to untie him. I slowly walked over to help.

"Chloe!" I heard Derek yell. The door trudged open and I glanced back to see Derek, studying the scene with confused and worried eyes. I turned back to find the rope slipping, falling off, away from the boys body.

As soon as they were released, The boy sprang up, looked at me with those electrifying, judgmental eyes.

I realized "boy" was the wrong term.

He looked at me for a minute, and as his gaze softened Derek broke through with a "They're coming." He said it in a low growl.

I looked back, then to them. "Come on." I urged. I couldn't leave these guys back. it just seemed…wrong.

"They can't come." He said it as if it was a simple fact. The boy's face crumpled.

"Why not?" I objected.

"They're vampires. They don't belong with supernatural's like us." He said slowly, glaring at the two like it was their fault.

The girl panicked, looking between us all.

"Wait…vampires? No. No. Bryce and I were just…we didn't do anything..how could…we don't want this!" She bellowed, grabbing her hair with disbelief.

The boy, Bryce, I assumed his name was, looked at us with the same disbelief. "If we were…are vampires…" He shook his head, still trying to process it.

I looked at them, not sure how much of a threat they would be. They could kill us. Andrew had said a while back, that they have their own society. They didn't belong with our kind.

But how could I leave them to die?

"Derek," I pleaded.

Then I realized something. There was still no baby in his arms…

"Where's the-"

I heard angry yells and arguing in the distance. Bryce looked around nervously, then laid his eyes on Derek and I.

"What are you?" He asked, looking between us with narrowed eyes.

Derek grunted. "We have to go now!" Derek demanded. I could see the terror on Avril's face when she heard Derek's tone. Anyone who wasn't used to it would be scared silly.

"But we don't have-"

"Now!"

He rushed in and pulled me out, and we ran. I saw a blur next to me, and I shied away, not sure.

We ran through the hall, back into the room we came from, and quickly out the door as we realized they Edison group was flooding the room. I had no idea where Bryce or Avril went. Or, for that matter, Tori's little baby.

We let her down.

As soon as we hit the outside, we ran across the street, Derek squeezing my hand, running so fast my feet weren't on the ground.

He grabbed me around the waist, and we practically flew around blocks and streets.

He didn't stop for a while, and when he did, He set me down, and I turned around to find Mr. Bae's car sitting there. Derek rushed to open the side door, and I hoped in right next to Simon. Derek hopped in next to me, and was about to shut the door when we heard a

"Uh, Hello?" From outside the car.

I jumped when I saw Bryce and Avril outside the car, Avril looking around, antsy.

Derek sighed, and Adele, from behind me, yelled "Just get in!"

And so Derek opened the car door. Bryce hopped in first, looked around, and found no place to sit. I scooted over, he gave me a thankful slash uncomfortable look, and slid in next to me.

Avril slid in between Bryce and Simon, who was holding one of the babies.

One of three babies.

One of those babies was still with the Edison Group.

"We have to go back!," I pleaded.

"Chloe, we can't!" I recognized Aunt Lauren's voice from the front seat.

The car started, and screeched as we furiously drove off, far away from the Edison Group's place, and recklessly drove away, almost all of us uncomfortable. Bryce shifted next to me his arm brushing mine. Another shiver went down my spine, and Derek wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Where are we going?" I asked, glancing around.

"Were leaving," Kit answered. "To Chicago."

I stared at him in disbelief. "What?"

How could we move right now? With strangers-vampires? With Tori's other baby gone?

"It's going to be okay." Derek whispered in my ear.

"I hope so," Avril whispered, glancing around. Simon looked up , studied Avril who was studying the baby in his arms, who was asleep in all the mass chaos.

"Who are you?" He asked them, as if he had just noticed now the two strangers in the car.

"Vampires." Kit said from the front. Bryce stiffened next to me.

"We do have names." He muttered. Simon looked at him, and Bryce looked to Avril, who looked really scared. Derek studied them for a minute, then pulled me a bit closer to him. Avril looked at all of us.

"How can we even trust you? You could kill us right now. You could be with them!" She looked uncomfortable, as if she was ready to jump out the car at any time.

Bryce grabbed her hand. "Calm down." He said, his voice soft. I wasn't sure or not that he believed we were good, but his voice seemed to relax her.

With Avril and Bryce sitting side by side, features close to each other, I realized they were brother and sister.

Simon, looking unsure of the two, asked Aunt Lauren to take the baby up front. As soon as he was easily eased into her arms, Simon sat back and studied them some more.

Tori suddenly whimpered from the back seat. I turned, straining to see her, but the car was way too packed.

"Is Tori okay?' I asked Adele, who was sitting in the back with her.

Before she could answer, I heard Tori coo in a low voice, "Pretty baby girl. Pretty Emmeline. Your so pretty."

Everyone was silent after that, some unsure of what to say, some over whelmed, some, not knowing anyone in the car.

We were moving to Chicago. With two strangers. Who happened to be vampires. The Edison group had one of Tori's babies, and now, there were babies.

Out of all the craziest things that happened, this had to top it.

"You're all pretty," Tori cooed from the back. "You, and Tristan," She paused. "Where is Tristan?" She asked.

"I have him," Aunt Lauren called back to her cautiously.

"And where's Chase?" She asked lightly.

Everyone was silent.

Chase. I thought. Guilt filled me.

Now that I knew his name, everything shifted.

There was an actual person in there. That baby was with the Edison Group.

Tears started to well up, and Derek hugged me closer.

Bryce, looking extremely confused studied me with his hazel eyes. Now that I got a good look at him, I realized they were rimmed with crimson.

"Chase?" Tori asked from behind us. The car seemed to slow down as we drove through the lifeless, dark highway. I realized how late it must be. around twelve? Maybe one?

I took a deep breath and summed up the courage I needed.

The courage I needed to continue on, no matter how hard it got.

The courage I needed to fight, to keep everyone safe, and to finally defeat The Edison group, no matter if it ended me.

The courage I needed to tell Tori the Edison Group had her little baby, Chase.

And with that , I took a deep breath, and told Tori he hardest thing I ever had to tell anyone in my entire life.

Wow. I can't believe it. I never thought I'd continue this. I never thought anyone would review.

You guys are amazing! I cant thank you enough! You're reviews mean the world to me.

Epilogue will be up soon, MAKE SURE TO LOOK FOR IT! Something big is coming…..Lol
