Chloe: Have you done a disclaimer yet?
Me: I did. But it was a short one.
Chloe: Well, I wanna hear you say it.
Me: No...
Chloe: Say it!
Me: Fine! I don't own Darkest powers or Chloe, Liz, Simon, Tori, Lauren, Kit and...
Chloe: ...And...
Me: And Derek! No matter how much I dream...
Chloe: Keep dreaming sister, 'cause it ain't ever gonna happen.
Chloe's POV.
I took a shakey breath and sank down into a chair by the kitchen table. I buried my head in my hands. When I looked up at Simon, tears were in my eyes.
"I-I'm sorry, Simon," I gulped. "I-I didn't mean to be so...I was just...Oh God."
Simon slowly sat down at the other end of the table. He took my hand and squeezed it.
"What happened?" He asked.
I hesitated, then blurted out my dream to him. I told how it went from being peaceful and beautiful to horrible and filled with hate. My hate. Tears fells down my cheeks when I told him how I was feeling. I had never felt such a powerful, hateful emotion. I'd never been the mean kind but before, I felt like hitting something. Or someone.
"I don't know what's wrong with me," I finished, looking down.
"Chloe," I looked up. "There's nothing wrong with you. You're the nicest person I know. We've all had a bad few weeks and you've had even less sleep. You're bound to feel angry once in while."
"You think that's it?" I asked nervously. I didn't like feeling angry.
"I'm sure of it," he smiled. "But, hey, next time you feel like biting someone's head off, remind me to stay clear."
I laughed which turned into a sneeze, which made me laugh more.
"No kidding," I smiled back. "Thanks," I squeezed his hand.
"Anytime..." he looked away. "About the dream...What did Davidoff mean when he said you'll join his side?"
"Honestly, I have n-no idea. The way I see it, there are two options. First: I join his group of Sup's and kill other people," I shuddered. "Or I join the spirit life. I don't know what he meant a-about my fate either," I shook myself. "It could all be pointless. It could of just have been a dream, after all."
"Yeah," Simon rolled his shoulders. "Just a dream."
"Hey," I said. "What were you doing up anyway?"
"I was getting a drink," he sent a smile my way. "I was still half-asleep until I saw your mini-anger fit."
I kicked him under the table, only lightly and teasingly.
"Speaking of sleep though, we should get back to bed," he rose. "Busy day tomorrow. Try and sleep...And try not to dream of Tori's mum or Davidoff."
"Gee, I'll try," I rolled my eyes.
I walked to the door and looked back at Simon. He was getting some water.
"Hey Simon," he looked over at me. "I am sorry for being...well, harsh. And thanks," I smiled.
"I'm here for you Chloe," he waved me goodnight. I waved back and sneezed. I was feeling happier but it seemed by cold wanted to stick around.
I crawled back into bed. Tori and Aunt Lauren were both still sound asleep. I blinked. When I re-opened my eyes, Aunt Lauren was shaking me awake. I spelt a dreamless sleep. I smiled...then sneezed. You win some, you lose some.
Short chapter I know! But I wanted Simon and Chloe to have some alone friend time.(: I thought it would be nice for them. Those who have asked for more Chloe and Derek moments, don't worry. Plently are coming up. :D Review. -Clare.
