Chapter 23 DPR

**Toris PoV**

I'm just sitting in the room that I share with Chloe, playing around online, tyring to hack something. I can hear everyone else outside my window, but I cant bring myself to leave the comfort of my bed.

Then something wejrd happens... I'm suddenly back at the lab. The place is in ruins, just like we left it. But the bodies are still covering the ground. I can see where Davidoff is, a pool of blood surrounding his upper torso, eyes stairing at the ceiling blankly.

I turn away from him though, only looking while its needed. I really just needed to find kne person, or now rather, body.

I search every body in the vicinity of the fight zone, even going through the ones that littered the halls connecting the escape route to the main building, but I couldnt find her.

As I'm walkijg towards the exit though, i find her. Shes sitting against a wall not far from the door, and if it werent for the vacant look in her downturned eyes, i would have thought thst she was just sitting and taking a break.

"Hello, mother." I say as I crouch down in front of her. I touch her cheek lightly, moving the hair that littered her face, when i heard it.

Standing and turning to face whatever may have been there, a spell already working in my hands, glowing a bright green. I listen closely, and hear a shuffling sound beside me. A quick look ensures me that there is probably nothing there. A closed door with the work *Janitor* is what greets me.

While im studying the door, something moves behind me. I turn quickley, and fall back a what i find.

Beside my mother is Dr. Davidoff who i swear was just dead. He was just standing there beside her, looking down intently, not seeming to notice my presence.

I decide to take the oppertunity while its still valuable and start to back away slowly, when a piece of fallen tile is crushed beneath my boot, cauding me to wince and look down long enough to check. When i look up, Davidoff is standing not three feet in front of me.

I fall back into a pile of debry, stiffiling my scream of surprise and terror in with my hand while trying to get away. My eyes never leave the evil man standing infront of me.

"Why, what a surprise this is. Hello, Tori." He says as he continues towards me, extending his left hand as if he is going to help me up, but as the hand deminishes the distance between us, it starts to glow a sickly brown colour. When it is just inchs from my face, I'm frozen in place as the brown glow leaves his hand anf latches onto my cheek.

"Ahhhh!" I scream as it burns my skin, and burrows into my cheek. "What is this!" I yell at him, but he is no longer standing by me. Wherehe was now stands my Mother. She has a wickedly evil grin plastered to her face as she watches me rithe in pain.

As she stands there, she starts to whisper something I cant hear, but it intensifies the pain, making it radiate throughout my head and towards my chest.

I start to claw at the ground, trying to get away grom her. As i turn, she is still there, not five feet from me, still stairing with that evil glint. My emotions get the best of me then, and I start to cry out louder, nothing coherit leaves my mouth, but i know that she is listening.

As the pain starts to intensify again, my anger towards Davidoff and my mother peeks, causing the blue sparks of lightning to escape my hands. One just about hits the witch in front of me, but she moves to the right just slightly, and misses the connection, but I somehow know that even if it would have connected ot wouldnt have stopped the pain that shot through me.

And then, all of a sudden I hear her. I can hear a voice cone through the pain, but what she says makes no sense to me.

"No! This will not continue!" and then i see a bright blue light come out of the shadows, and i think that it will connect with my mothers side, but as it flys right past her, i follow it with my pain filled eyes and watch it connect directly with Davidoffs chest, as he screams with agony, the pain within me is obliterated. Before I 'm completely unconcious I see my mother colapseto her knees with a pained look on her face as she watches me. And then im gone.

**Chloes PoV**

As Derek compressed her chest and Simon worked on a spell, I took a look around the room. Derke, Simon and I were the ones that surrounded Tori, while Jess and Emily stood beside Sophie with Mark working on compresing her chest like Derek. Jamed was just standing there. He was standing directley between the two groups. He kept looking from one fallen girl to th other, and then back again. I suddenly knew why he wasnt beside a group.

"James," I said softly. He looks to me.

"Chloe, I-I... I cant choose," He explains as a tear rolls down his cheek. I quicky stand up, feeling Dereks eyes on me, and walk over to him.
"No ones asking you, too. Both Tori and Sophie would understand. Tori is your girlfriend, but Sophie has been your friend a lot longer than that," I take his hand softly and squeez. "When there better, they'll tell you that themselves"
Another tear rolls down his cheek, but he nods and squeezes my hand back. "Thank you, Chloe." I only nod and let his hand go.

I walk back to Dereks side to see that he has started the complete CPR procedure. 'The kiss of life' and all. But, seeing his mouth on hers didnt cause jeously to stir in my gut, but a feeling of pride for Derek. He knew what to do.
I look over the James again, and he is now kneeling beside Sophies head, gently stroking her hair back. He looks up and smiles at me, and I cant help but smile back.

I watch as Mark continues the compression on Sophies chest, but am brought out of that by a double gasp that echos through the room. I search for whatever has made this noise, but when i feel a tap on my shoulder, I turn to Simon, who points to Tori, whos eyes have fluttered open.

As quick as I have managed to come to a relization that she is awake, James is already there, holding her lightly and kissing her forehead. Toris eyes are wide with shock, but quickly change. She wraps her arms around his body as tight as she can.

"Chloe?" I turn away from them to see Emily standing behind me. "Its Sophie, shes..." But she doesnt continue, just motions for me to follow her. So I do.

Sophie is laying with her head in Marks lap, breathing on her own, but her eyes are still closed. Mark is lightly brushing her cheek and Jess holds her hand.

I sit beside Jess and look at her. "Do you feel anything?" She just looks at me.

"What do you mean?"

"Im not sure how your powers work, but i thought that you could like, read peoples minds."

She shakes her head. "Not exactually. I just see certain things and move objects."

"Oh my... Chloe, she might not be able to feel something, but you might," I turn back to Emily who is now seated across Sophies body from me.
"What do you mean by that, Emily?"

"Well, i read a once that if a necromancer is powerfull enough that they can sometimes comune with the sick, even if they arnt on the verge of death," I just look at her squepticly.

"Chloe, Emily is right. Dad told me that when Simon and I were younger. And you are one of the most poweful necros ever," Derek says as he turns to look at me from across the room.
I turn to look at him in return, reading his expression. After a minute, I nod, turning back to Sophie.

"So...how do I do this?"

**Okay, dont yell at me! I know I was late for updating again, but this time is a legitament reason. My laptop had sonething spilled on it a few weeks ago, and hasnt been working riht since, and when I finally had the time to write this out, it wouldnt even turn on! I have a Galaxy Tablet, but I had no idea how to upload things onto fanfiction from it. That is until I actually looked. Sontimes I cant even believe that my head is still attached to my body. It is rediculaous how dumb I can be sometimes.
Okay, but back to the Tablet. I'm sorry for any spelling mistakes or grammer, but the app i have on it doesnt have spell check, so you will just have to bear with me until I can download a .

Oh! And regarding all of my lovely readers that reviewed THANK YOU. And to Roxy (guest) your reviews made me laugh and thank you for the support. Along with everyone else who reviewed, favorited or followed me or my story. I love you all!

I know this isnt a very long chapter, but I swear it looked at least a few pages long on my tab... Sorry everyone :/
