Liz: I've just read the MorganVille books.
Me: Oh, good! What you think of them?
Liz: I love 'em.
Me: Yay! *Happy dance*
Liz: No, you don't get it. I love them! I love them, I love them, I LOVE THEM!
Me: Ooooookay.
Liz: I love them...*Walks off singing 'Love is in the air.'
Chloe's POV.
I sat in the back seat with Derek. Liz was directing the way in the front with Aunt Lauren and Kit. She was writting down the way as we drove. Simon and Tori were arguing over spells again. I noticed again how similar they looked. How could no one tell? I mean really! I'd thought about asking Kit if he knew and that I knew but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
I sighed and rested my head against Derek's arm. He laced his fingers through mine.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"H-how do you know somethings wrong?" I frowned.
His lips moved to my ear. "Because I know you. Tell me."
I looked up into his eyes. They were filled with worry and love. I sighed again and told him about my dream then my talk with Simon. He listened. He nodded at times, or frowned but he didn't cut in.
"I don't think it was real. But I don't know. The whole thing was weird," I sighed. "I-I was going to tell you. I just didn't want you to worry."
"I always worry about you Chloe, it's my job," he kissed my head. "I'm glad you told me. If this dream happens again, please tell me."
"I-it probably wasn't anything,"
"Chloe," he almost growled. "Please."
"I will," I looked up at him again. "I love you."
His face broke into a smile. One that made me love him. He took my face between my hands and kissed me.
"I love you too," he whispered against my lips
"Aww, how sweet," Tori's voice broke the kiss. "If the lovey dovey couple could brake apart for a second, you'll see that we're here."
I turned my head to find we were parked outside a block of flats. I smiled brightly.
"Let's go see Rae," Kit said.
I stood in front of her door. We all decided it would be better for her to see me then everyone at once. I took a deep breath and knocked and waited...and waited. I shifted from foot to foot. I stopped when I heard whispers from inside. The door opened and I saw an eye.
Rae's eye!
"Rae!" I sighed with relief. "You're okay!"
"Chloe?" She pushed the door open. "Oh my-! Chloe!" She pulled me into a tight hug. I hugged her back. I pulled back.
"Rae, we have to talk but first is it okay if we all come in?" I asked.
"Who's 'we'?" She looked around.
"Derek, Simon, their dad and Tori," I smiled. "There's a lot to tell."
Rae blinked then nodded slowly. I waved from everyone to come in. Once inside we sat in the living room. Rae's mum joined us as well. I told Rae everything that had happened since I left again. She sat there and took it all in. Her mum frowned and mumbled once in a while but otherwise they let me talk.
"You...killed Dr. D?" She asked.
I flinched. "Y-yes. I had to...He was going to hurt us, maybe kill us..."
"I just..." She blinked again then smiled. "Wow. Just wow. Didn't think you had it in you."
"That makes two of us..." I mumbled.
"So. Will you help us?" Simon asked.
"Help you?" Rae's mum spoke up. "Help with what?"
"Now, you see what has happened. There are more kids out there," Kit told her. "And even worst people. We have to stop them. Otherwise more people will die."
Jacinda and Rae looked at each other. Rae nodded then looked back at me with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry," she whispered. "But no."
"No?" Derek rose his eyesbrows.
"Chloe...I'm sorry I didn't believe you, but I have a life now. I have a mum! I can start again. I can have a new and better life!" Rae begged me to understand but I didn't.
"But you get it now!" I almost shouted. "You understand what's going on! You can't have a life until these guys are stopped. They will come after you!"
"You don't know that," Rae's mum fixed me with a cold glare. "I'm not risking my daughters life for something like this."
"This is worth it," Tori snapped. "You haven't been around watching people drop dead like flies!" Sparks flew from her fingers. "You haven't lost anyone! You've found someone instead. Well, but aside your selfishness and help us save some damned lifes!"
"No."
"Fine," Tori stood up. "Stay here in this crappy place. But when they come for you, don't call us, because I know I won't come running." She stalked out the room, followed by Simon and Aunt Lauren. Probably trying to calm her down.
I stood up too and followed Derek and his dad to the door. I turned around in the door way to face Rae.
"I'm so sorry Chloe," Rae whispered. "But this is my life now. You don't know what it's like not to have a mum who doesn't love you. I have that now. I'm happy. Can't you understand that?"
I balled my hands up into first. I glared up at her.
"No, I don't understand Rae," I snapped at her. "I thought you cared about other people! I thought we were friends and that you had my back. But I guess I was wrong. You are just selfish and don't care about anyone esle. I thought you were better then that but again, seems I was wrong. Enjoy your life Rae."
I turned my back on her and didn't look back.
