CPOV
I was watching as Tori and Simon shared a moment, no matter how brief, when out of nowhere Derek jumps up and yells "Chloe! We need to get out of here now! There's something coming!" I knew what he meant! Whatever he has been smelling all day is coming…and we have no clue what it is. Shit.

Shit! Chloe…Simon…Tori…Dad…Lauren…How the hell was I gonna get them all out of here safe when I didn't even know what the fuck was coming after us? Wow…this smell was strong. A mix between Chloe and something else entirely. I have no clue what it is but it needs to be dealt with and soon.
I grabbed Chloe's hand and started to drag her away, but she pulled back. I looked into her bottomless blue eyes and saw that she wasn't going anywhere. She turned away, and I followed her gaze. It lead to where Tori was still clinging to Simon as if her life depended on it, and Simon doing the same. I couldn't ruin this moment, but I knew I had to, to get them out of here before whatever it was got here.
I let go of Chloe's warm inviting hand, reluctantly, and flew over to Simon and Tori. It took me a minute to realize that they were sobbing into each others shoulders, but when I did, I just couldn't ruin the moment. Not yet anyways.
I waited another minute, and I could tell if we didn't get a move on soon that there would be no way of escape. The thing was closing in fast, even though it kept going around and around, like it could only come so close from one direction. I needed to get them apart, then go and wake up the adults. Fun. This was going to be fun.
I had to rip the pair apart for them to listen to me. "Guys…im sorry but there is something closing in on us, and we need to get out of here. Fast. Simon,you take Tori and wake up Dad. I'll take Chloe and wake up Lauren. Pack as much as you can before I came and get you guys. If there is anything left just leave it." They looked at me, but Simon nodded his head in understanding.
We all took off. Simon and Tori kept going to the guys room, when Chloe and myself got to there door. Chloe was going to knock, but I just burst right in. That woke Lauren up pretty damn fast.
"Chloe? Derek? What are you doing? Where's Tori? What time is it?"
"Lauren…we don't have time to explain. There is something closing in on us and we need to get out of here before it can. Get up and pack as much as you can. Me and Chloe will pack up hers and Toris." I said as I dragged Chloe over to hers and Toris beds. She went to hers and started to pack. I grabbed Tori's bag and started to fill it.
It took me 3 minutes to get everything that Tori had, seeing it was scattered everywhere, and by the time I was done, there was nothing left to be done in this room. I looked at Chloe, who was shutting the cooler dad had bought, that was now full of all the food that Lauren had bought. I ran over, grabbed that and her bag, hung them over my shoulder, grabbed her hand, and ran for the door.
Lauren was standing on the other side with bag in hand. She looked at me as we came through the door, a look of trust in her eyes. I couldn't help but smile at her. She nodded, then began to walk, rather run, to mine Simon, and dads room.
Just as we got there, the door opened. Dad walked out, carrying his bag and another over his shoulder. Then came Tori and Simon, both carrying a bag of there own. Tori was quick to go to Chloe's side. Im sure anyone could see the fear in her eyes, but not the hurt in her expression, It was clearly covered, but being as good as I am with human sociology I can tell by the way she held herself that she was hurt.
"Derek…can you tell what the thing is?" Dad asked, bring me out of my analysis of Tori.
"No dad…but it smells somewhat like Chloe. Could we possibly talk about this in the car? The thing is still closing in." I looked at dad, then at where the van sits 20 feet away.
"Yeah, we can. Just…what could it be?" I didn't bother to look up, I already knew to well what expression lay on his face. I squeezed Chloe's hand a little tighter as we trudged on through the parking lot.
When we got to the van, I opened the back door and piled everything in, but left enough room for us to sit. When I went around front, Dad and Lauren were in the front seats, Simon and Tori in the middle, and Chloe on the far side of the back. I climbed in next to her.
As I closed the side door, dad started the van and took off. "Derek? Which way I the thing coming in?" I had to think for a second.
"It was circling the perimeter of the land, 'bout 2 miles out, like it couldn't come in in a strait line. That's why we had so much time to get away…" as I said that, I thought about what that cold mean. Was it trying to warn us? Trying to get us away from something? Or was there something about those woods that kept it away?

When Simon and Tori burst into mine and the boys room, I woke with a start, but Simon quickly explained the predicament, then he and Tori started to pack up his and Derek's things. I had a feeling that something was off about them. They seemed closer to each other, and a little further away from me.
I finished packing all of my stuff up and the bit of food that we had in our room, then continued out the door. As I turned to look for the car, I saw Derek, Chloe, and Lauren coming up to us. Derek was carrying a large cooler and 2 bags, all of which I had bought earlier that day, Chloe was holding onto his hand as if it were her life line (which it very well could be) And Lauren was carrying her bag over her shoulder watching Derek and her niece with such affection in her eyes. I knew she trusted Derek after he had saved her from the Edison Group numerous times, and went to save her as well.
I got as much details on what was following us from Derek as I could before we had to make a break for the van. Derek loaded everything in the back while the rest of us got into our seats. Laruen and myself in the front, Tori and Simon in the middle, sitting close to each other, and Chloe in the back waiting for Derek to climb in beside her. As Derek closed the side door I started the van and took off like a bat outa hell. I wasn't sure which way to go so I asked Derek which way the thing was closing in on us, obviously to go the opposite way. But as he told me that it had been circling the perimeter of the hotel, I began to think that this wasn't something that was chasing after us, but possibly caught in our fight with us. It was quite possible. That another supernatural could be on the run looking for help, and just happened to hear about us.

What the hell is going on? First im making out with Tori, then I find out shes my sister, then we have a family moment, we have to escape from something, get split up to clean out our rooms, then Derek tells dad that it smells like Chloe. Great just fudging great.
As we piled into the van, I followed Tori. I felt dads eyes on me, then I could tell he was looking at Tori. How could he not tell me about having a sister? I had always wanted one, but mom and dad never had another one after we got Derek. I could empathies for that…but for not telling there son that he had a half-sister I couldn't. Not only did they not tell me about herm but they didn't tell me that mom was going to pass away. That there would be a chance that mine and Derek's powers would be over powerful. That we would be hunted down by the very people that said that they would help us.
I don't think that I would be able to trust dad for a while now.
Sooooo….what you guys think? Do you like me switching POV's?
