Liz: Say Derek...

Derek: Yeah?

Liz: You don't happen to have a friend called Simon do you?

Me: *Laughs*

Derek: *frowns* No...Why?

Liz: Oh, no reason.

Me: *Laughing* I think you're taking this too far Liz.

Chloe's POV.

The words rang around my head. Not killed. Well, yes killed, but murdered. Murdered by the Cables. Why? Why? Why? They killed her. They killed her then ran away. I swayed, still sitting down. Derek put his arm around my waist. I wanted to look at him but all I could do was stare at Aunt Lauren. She was crying quietly.

"...Why?" I finally choked out. The tears hadn't come yet, but I could tell they were close.

"She-" A hic up. "They wanted you Chloe. And her. They wanted you both, to run test, to see how powerful you were to see, if she could have more powerful kids..." Aunt Lauren sniffed. "She said no. And she tried to move...but they got her first."

There they were. The tears. They rolled freely down my face.

"How?" I asked.

"How what, honey?"

"How long have you known about this?" I demanded.

"Oh Chloe..."she sighed.

"How long?"

"A few months," she looked down. "I didn't want you to know. Ever. I thought...it would be too much."

A squeezed my eyes shut. She didn't tell me and she wasn't going to until I called her on it. I knew she only trying to protect me but it still hurt.

"I understand," I said without opening my eyes. "I just...need some time."

I opened my eyes. Simon, Tori and Kit were watching me with worried glances. I did need some time, but not alone.

I needed my werewolf.

I got up and tugged on Derek's hand. He understood straight away. We walked out. As soon as we were on the grass I turned around and launched myself into his arms. He held me close, stroking my hair and whispering gentle words. My knee's failed and Derek scooped me up in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and burried my face in his chest.

He sat down, still holding me. We stayed like that for a few minutes. I sniffed and looked up at him. He was watching me which wasn't a surprise.

"T-thank you," when he frowned I added. "For being here."

"I wouldn't be anywhere else," he kissed my gently. He pulled back and smiled.

"Come on," he pulled us to our feet.

"C-come on? Wh-where?"

"I was out with Dad and Simon and there in a fun fair in town. I say we go. Have fun and, maybe for a little while, forget about everything. Just me and you. On a date," Derek grinned. "If that's all right?"

I smiled. "That sounds...perfect."


We got there after 15 minutes of walking. Derek sent a text to Kit saying where we were going. I was still a lot sad about my mum but when I saw the flashing bright lights, I tried to focus on the now.

After a few minutes I found myself in the moment. I was laughing and enjoying myself. I got above my left eye painted. It had a red background with a black wolf on it. It was only small but it made Derek smile. The paint went with my dyed black hair. Which I was starting to like.

We went on a few rides. I held onto Derek's hand during the fast rides. He laughed and I loved it.

"Candy floss!" I said happily.

"Want some?" Derek smiled.

"Oh do I!" I ran forward. I ran so fast I tripped over my foot. Derek lunched forward and caught me. He held me, my back to him for a second, before letting me go.

"Candy floss?" I asked breathless.

"Candy floss," Derek agreed.

We bought some. We shared it and I went slightly hyper.

"Ohhhh!" I said cheerfully. "The Horror House! Eeep! Can we go in? Please?"

"Are you sure?" Derek teased. "Compeared to the stuff we've seen, this'll we a walk in the park."

"I wanna go! I wanna go!" I said like a little child.

The Horror House was a little scary. Well to me anyway. It made me jump alot. After the Horror House, we called it a night. We walked home, my arms around his waist and his around mine. Derek earlier played 'knock the cups down with 3 balls'. Of course, Derek being Derek, he knocked them down in one ball. He won me a gaint tedy bear. I carried it in my other arm.

We didn't go in straight away. We sat on the grass again. I leaned over to give Derek a thank you kiss which turned into a deeper kiss. We got closer and closer. He leaned into me, forcing me to lie down with him on top of me. I shoved the bear out the way.

My hands slid under Derek's shirt and I ran my hands over his chest. His slid under mine but stayed at my stomach. Not that I minded. The kiss got deeper and more hotter. One of his hands slid into my hair.

"Vell, vell," A voice, with a slight Russin accent said. "Vhat 'ave we 'ere?"

I jumped away from Derek. His eyes were glittering, and he was flushed. I was sure I looked the same. He frowned then look around to where I was looking.

"Ghosts?" He sighed, getting off me.

I nodded. I sat up. The woman was wearing a 50's type dress. Her hair was 50 style aswell. When she saw me staring at her clothes she sighed.

"It's not vhat you think," she waved her hand at her self. "I vas on the vay to a party. I vas killed along the vay. Yes, it vas a 50's party."

"Oh...I'm so sorry."

"Don't ve. I have come to turns vith it," she waved her hand.

"Can I...Help you with something?"

"Hmm, vell you could. But not yet. Not yet. First, you'll need my help, but again, not yet. I vill see you around little, Chloe,"

And she faded. I slumped against Derek. I told him what she had said.

"Huh." Was all he said.

"I guess we should get back inside," I sighed. I didn't want to see Aunt Lauren. Not yet. But I had to. She only wanted to keep it from me to save me to pain. But it hurt all the same. Thinking about it brought tears into my eyes. I blinked them back and walked back into the motel room with Derek.

I couldn't shake the feeling I was being watched.
