Me: *Walks into room.*

Liz: There you are! Come here!

Me: What?

Liz: *Shoves laptop at me* Write Chapter 10.

Me: I need to revise for my Science test.

Liz: SO? I want to know what happens. Either tell me or write it!

Me: Okay, okay. But if I fail my Science test, I'm blaming you.

Liz: I can live with that.

Chloe's POV.

When we got back to the motel I got out the car and slammed my door behind me. Man, was I pissed. I thought Rae would always be there for me, but turns out she only wanted her life back. I started walking away from the motel and towards to woods.I heard Derek telling everyone to go on. When I turned around Derek was standing behind me. He opened his mouth but before he could say anything, I through myself in his arms.

He caught me and held me close.

"I-I just c-can't believer her!" I sobbed.

"S'okay, Chloe," he mummered, stroking my hair.

When I was done, I pulled away from him. What was up with me? I was happy, then pissed, now sad? Mood swing, anyone?

"S-sorry," I mumbled. "I-I don't what came over me."

"It's okay, Chloe," Derek smiled softy. "It's understandable. You thought she was your friend."

I sighed and hugged him again. His arms went around my waist. I wrapped my around his neck, and pulled his lips to mine. He pushed me back until my back hit a tree. I pulled him closer to me, pressing myself against him. We broke apart only to rest out heads against each other. Both our breaths were rough and uneven.

"We...should get back," I said breathless.

"Yeah..." he mumbled.

Instead of going back, I pulled him back down. We got even closer, somehow. One of his hands slipped into my head and the other one of the small of my back. I ran mine through his dark hair. I pulled away to look into his eyes.

"I love you," I said. "I really love you."

"I love you too, Chloe," his lips were bright red. "I'm so lucky."

I laughed lightly. Derek slowly pulled away from me and we walked back into the motel.


I was sittting with Kit at the kitchen table. He was going over some paper work. I kept looking at him, thinking about Simon and Tori. I kept shifting in my seat.

"I know!" I blurted. Kit looked up startled.

"You know what?" He asked.

"Um...Tori...Simon...Half-brother and sister..." I said stupidly.

"Oh," he blinked. "Oh."

"Yeah. I've known for a while, but I haven't said anything to them, you know, not my place and all, but..."

"They should know," he ran his hand through his hair. "I'm going to tell them. I should tell them." He didn't sound so certain.

"I-I won't say anything but it's just been bugging me for awhile now..."

"Thank you, Chloe," he smiled. "I'll tell them soon. I promise."

I nodded glad I got it off my chest.

"I actually have something to tell you," he began. "I've got a friend who is a necromancer and I want you to meet him. He can teach you a few things. I haven't seen him in a while but we were good friends. He lives in the same house. And it's around here. Would you like to meet him?"

Would I ever? "Sure," I smiled. "That's sounds perfect."

"Great!" He grinned looking like an older version of Simon. "We'll go round tomorrow," he got up. "I'm...sorry about Rae." He patted my head before leaving to room.

The mention of Rae got me all annoyed again. I balled my hands into fists and banged my hand down on the table. Dammit. Why did she have to be so difficult. I stormed into my room and sat down on my bed. I didn't notice Tori until she spoke up.

"Whoa, whoa. Who woke up the beast?" She said.

"Shut it, Tori," I snapped. She blinked in surprise.

"O...kay," she drew out the word. "You go throw a fit, I'm going to watch TV." She walked out, shooting me a worried glance. I threw my pillow at the door.

What the hell is wrong with me?

After five minutes of calming down, Derek came in. He was smiling slightly. He hadn't heard about my anger fit. He sat down beside me. He put his arm around my shoulders and lay down with me.

"So, I hear you seeing a recromancer tomorrow," he smiled more brightly. "Excited?"

I shrugged not totally over my anger fit.

"I'm coming with you," he said more seriously. "I want to be sure you're safe."

I sighed. I hugged him tightly. I could tell he knew something was wrong but he didn't say anything. He just held me which was enough to calm me down. I soon fell asleep to his slow breathing. I fell asleep thinking about my crazy mood swings. Mostly the anger. Why was I so angry almost all the time?

The next thing I knew I was standing before Dr. Davidoff again.

Great. What the hell does he want now?

More Derek and Chloe! yay! Gotta love Derek. ;) REVIEW PLEASE! I know I keep telling you to, but what you think is important. Soooooooo, TELL ME! :D-Clare. xxx
