Liz: Derek, Clare, Clare, Derek.

Derek: Oh? So, you're the girl writing on FanFiction.

Me: Yes. *Shoots Liz a glare*

Derek: Liz says a person in the book is called Derek.

Me: Er, yeah.

Derek: So, what's he like? From what Liz has said about him, it seems like she loves him. Am I like him?

Me: Well...

Liz: Come on Derek. Um...Pizza!

Chloe's POV.

This was not a good idea. We all sat around the kitchen table. I sat between Derek and Simon. Everyone had joined hands and were waiting for me to join hands with Derek and Simon and begin. But I just couldn't shake that feeling. Liz said something on the other side was waiting to be pulled through and I defitanly didn't want to bring it over.

"I don't think-"

"Do you want to get rid of him or not?" Tori cut in.

"Y-yes, but..." I rubbed my hands together. "I-I just..." I rolled my shoulders.

"We'll be right here," Derek said softly. "I won't let anything happen to you."

What a stupid promise to make.

I shook myself and took hold of Simon and Derek's hands. And so it began. I focused on Davidoff and him only. I closed my eyes. I pulled him lightly then turned it up a bit. I tightened my grip on the boys hands. My head started to hurt as I pulled harder. Wind whipped around causing my hair to blow around. I heard someone gasp. I opened my eyes.

Davidoff was stood in the middle of the table. I could see him from his waste up. He was surounded by light clouds. I saw everyone gape at him. They could see him?

"C-can you guys see h-him?" I asked nervously.

"Yes," Tori breathed.

"H-How?"

"All our powers brought him through," Simon mumbled to me. "So, he is visable."

Davidoff eyes flared as he took this all in. He span around to look at everyone. He settled his cold gaze onto me. I saw pure hatred in his eyes. In raidiated of him and...went into me? Wait...

"It's you!" I gasped.

"Well, well," Davidoff grumbled. "Seems you have me figured out. It's a shame. I was so close. So close for you to join me."

"Not a chance in hell," I said through gritted teeth.

"Which is where we are sending you," Tori said cheerfully.

"Oh really?" Davidoff raised on eyebrow. "Don't you want to hear my secrets? Like the hidden family bonds?" He looked at Kit who glared back. "Or the death of a loved one?" Davidoff stared at Aunt Lauren, who looked away. "Or the-"

"Enough!" Derek growled. "Everyone, get ready to banish him. Chloe? You start."

I closed my eyes. I imagined sending Davidoff away. For ever.

"Oh no you don't little girl!" Davidoff snarled.

I felt pure hatred pour into me. I closed my eyes shut more tightly ignoring the pain in my head and chest, and the anger coming into me. I squeezed Derek and Simons hand even more tightly. I felt more power come into me from everyone else. Sweat poured down from my head. I clenched my teeth together. Pain pulsed through me. Every breath. Every heartbeat. Pain. I heard Davidoff snarl and then scream. I screamed with him.

I was exhausted, full of anger and pain. I screamed again. My head was on fire! Oh God, oh God, oh God. Make the pain stop. Make it stop! I felt the hands slip from mine and with that I felt a full of blast of pain. Then I blacked out.


I first became aware of something cold and wet lying across my forehead. Wet cloth? Whatever it was, it felt nice. Then I became aware of lying on something soft. A bed? And someone was breathing. Someone was sitting next to me. Derek? God, I hoped so.

"Is she awake yet?" Simon. That was Simon. He sounded really worried.

"No," Derek sighed. It was Derek! I knew it. Ha! He sounded really worried to. "She's not."

"Lauren said she might be out for a few hours. I just wish I knew what happened..." Tori said.

"We all do, but when she wakes up, don't push her," Derek warned. "If she doesn't want to answer, then it's her choice."

Man, I loved him.

"We won't," Tori snapped. "We do think sometimes you know."

"News to me..." Derek mumbled.

I laughed slightly. I felt Derek go still. My eyes fluttered open and I saw Derek hovering above me. He sighed with relief.

"Hey," I smiled. "What's up?"

"Same old, same old," Derek smiled back then went serious. "You okay?"

I sat up but my head spun. I fell back against the pillows. The wet cloth fell from my head.

"Er, dizzy," I blinked. "But I feel loads better. No pain."

"What happened?" Simon asked. Derek shot him a glare. But I answered anyway.

"It...took more out of me then we all thought," I shook my head. Ugh, not a good idea. "Banishing him forever...I felt the pain it was causing him. And it hurt. Like fire and...God, it just hurt everywhere. I thought..." I shuddered. "It felt like dying."

No one said anything. I got up, more slowly this time. Derek put his arm around my waist to hold me up.

"We need to talk about a few things," I told them. "Bring in Kit and Aunt Lauren."

No one said anything again. Simon and Tori went to get them. Derek said me back down on the bed. He sat with me. I rested most of my weight against him but he didn't mind. His lips brushed my hair.

"I'm glad you're okay, Chloe," He mummered. "You had no idea what I was thinking...what I was feeling. For the first time in a while I was terrified I'd lose you...I don't ever want to lose you. I can't"

I could hear the panic in his voice. I twisted to look fully at him. I put my hands on his cheeks.

"You're never going to lose me. I don't ever want to be away from you," I leaned closer. "I love you and I couldn't stand be away from you."

I pressed my lips so his. Lightly at first then harder. He held me closer to him. My hands slid into his hair. He pushed me back when the door opened. I settled back down next to him, trying to look inocent. It must have worked because no one said anything. When everyone was settled I began.

"First of all, he's gone. Forever. I can tell," I smiled at everyone. "And I know the reason for my angry. It was coming from him and he, somehow, was putting it into me. He made me feel his anger and tried to make it out I was going insane. But tried to turn me against you all, but it didn't work," I grinned. "He failed yet again."

"Yeah he did," Tori grinned. "We sent his dead ass to hell."

"We did," I agreed. "Um...When he was there he said something about secrets..." I looked at Kit who nodded. "I think we should, you know...reveal them."

"Oh come on," Tori rolled her eyes. "The guy was trying to get us to say 'secrets? What secrets?'"

"Yeah, well..." I looked at Kit again.

"He was right," Kit clear his throat. "I have something to tell you kids."

Everyone froze. Even me.

"Simon and Tori...You're...well...Half brother and sister," he said and looked away.

Silence. Then...

"WHAT?" Tori yelled.

Kit sighed. "Please. Keep calm." He sighed again. Then he told them. That they were seeing what would happen if a Witch and a Sorcerer mated and had a kid. Tori was the result. Simon and Tori stared at each other with horrified expressions. Derek just stayed still.

"We-we-we," Tori spluttered. "I-I don't-We can't be..."

"Seems like we are," Simon sighed. "Great. I have a fricking half-sister who's a right bitch."

"Hey!" Tori snapped. "No need for name calling, dorko. Be nice to your sister."

Simon shuddered. Kit looked reliefed they hadn't try to kill each other. Simon and Tori stared at each other again.

"Figures," Derek chuckled.

"What was that wolfie?" Tori snapped again.

"Just that you already behave like brother and sister," Derek shrugged. "Just figures."

"Keep quiet wolfie or I'll pull off your tail," Tori glared.

"Try it," Derek glared back.

"Bite me."

"Ugh. Never," Derek shuddered.

I laughed lightly. Things were OK. Weren't they? Aunt Lauren was quiet. When I glanced her way, she was very pale. Davidoff said something about death of a loved one to her.

"A-aunt Lauren?" I asked, feeling dizzy again.

"Oh, Chloe," she said so softly I barely heard it. Everyone else shut up. "I didn't ever want you to know."

"K-know what?"

"Your mom, Chloe," her eyes shone with tears. "Her death. They killed her. The Cables."
