Me: *Yawns*

Mum: Shouldn't you get to bed?

Me: No! I want to finish this chapter.

Mum: Is it that important?

Me: Yes! You just don't understand the magic of Derek, *smiles*


Chloe's POV.

We all dove of the way.

This was it. The final fight. To stop the Edison group now and end it all. Stop them from killing and hurting other people. Stop them from ruining other lifes. I looked up to see Derek and Johnny lunge forward. Tori got a huge energy ball ready and threw it at a old woman.

Megan! God, was she okay?

Megan was huddled by the door, hugging her knee's to her chest. Her face was burried in her arms. I didn't have time to get over there. I spell knocked me off my feet and into a wall. I ran my hand through my hair. Blood. I glared but at the woman who spoke.

"Stuipid little brats," she spat.

I dodged out her path as she shot another spell. Damn. Being a necromancer was useless. I grabbed a leg of a chair-the chair had been smashed to pieces. It wasn't a good weapon, but darn, it was all I had.

I swung it round. I caught her in the ribs. She steadied herself and her lips twisted. She shot out her and a fire ball came out. I jumped out the way again, but it caught my arms.

"Shit! Shit!" I clentched my teeth together. I jumped back up.

Now or never...

Fog formed around us. I looked around to see Simon casting the spell. Just the cover I needed. I pointed the sharp edge at the woman. She was waving her hand around, trying to get rid of the fog. I stabbed the sharp end of the car leg into her stomach. She screamed and I flew back as she cast a spell. I leg go of the leg and fell flat on my bag.

Yep, that was blood I tasted.

I coughed and looked around me. Tori had justed finished off a half-demon person. Derek was helping his Dad in a fight.

A hand touched my shoulder. I jumped and swung my hand.

Johnny caught it and grinned.

"Still alive and punching I see," he helped me to my feet.

"Yeah, I-" I flew into Johnny with such force it knocked him down.

Ouch. That hurt. Johnny pushed me off him and attacked the guy called Dave down. Kit threw out a spell and knocked the guy down. Derek was released from a binding spell. The fog got lighter and was easier to see again. With David pinned down...there was no one left. We won. Everyone just stood there. Frozen. Looking around. It went quiet.

Tori grinned. "We did it! We stopped them!"

I grinned back then stopped. These people were dead all because they were too blind to see. I looked at the woman I had stabbed. I felt the world slip but I held on. I had killed her. Like Davidoff. Truth was if I didn't, she would have killed me, but that didn't help to guilt I felt. A tear rolled down my check. I wipped it away before anyone saw. What do we do now? With...the bodies?

Megan's sob broke through my thoughts. I looked over at her. She was kneeling beside Amber...Who was laying face down on the floor...Not breathing.

"Ambie?" Megan shook her shoulder. "Ambie Bambie? W-wake up. Please, wake up. Please."

Tears filled my eyes. I walked over to Megan.

"Amber? W-wake up. Please, don't leave me," Megan sobbed. "I n-need you. Please don't go. W-wake up."

"Megan," I said quietly. "Megan, come to me."

Megan looked up at me. Tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"She won't wake up," Megan whispered. "She wouldn't leave me. No. No, she wouldn't," she touched Amber's hair. "S-she's gonna wake up now. Right Amber? Amber? Please! Don't leave me!"

I picked Megan up. She tried to get out and she kept screaming Amber's name. I looked at Kit. He nodded towards the door. I eased out the room and went into the closest bedroom. Megan screamed all the way out. She screamed for Amber. Tears fell off her cheeks and onto my shoulders. I blinked back my owned tears and sat down on the bed.

I held her against me. She cried and cried and cried.

"A-a-amber," she sobbed again and again. "A-a-amber."

I held her close and whispered gentle words. She soon fell asleep. Derek came into the room. His face grave.

I slipped out the room and stood in front of him.

"Is everyone okay?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah. A few cuts, but nothing serious," Derek mumbled.

"H-How's Peter?"

"Handling," Derek hugged me. "Simon's talked to him but he wants to be alone. What about Megan?"

"She's asleep. She's...I want to stay with her," I said firmly. "She needs me."

Derek nodded. "I thought you might say that," Derek shifted. "Dad, Simon and I...we're going to go burry the bodies."

I shuddered. "Now?"

"Yeah," Derek rolled his shoudlers. "We gotta do it. Johnny'll be here to keep you guys safe."

"So, you trust Johnny now?" I asked.

"Trust...Eh...I'm starting to," Derek mumbled. "I'll see you soon, 'kay?"

"'Kay," I kissed him and went back to sit with Megan.


When Megan woke up she asked for Peter.I got him and left them to talk or cry together. I ran past the study and straight into the kitchen. Johnny had gloves on and a sponge in his hand.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"I...cleaned up the study," he said, taking off the gloves.

"Ah," I looked away, sighing. I slumped into the chair by the table.

"Try and be happy," Johnny said, sitting beside me. "Banks is gone. The Edison group have been stopped."

"Amber's dead," I added bitterly. "And I might have stopped Banks for now, but who knows? He might come back. And then there is Tori's mom. I haven't stopped her yet. And Megan and Peter are upset. Everyone is hurt. People are dead because they are so blinded by-"

Johnny put his hand over my mouth.

"Rant over?" I glared at him. He smiled softly. "Just live in the now. Yes, bad things have happened and will happen again, but for now, we've done something good. We've stopped people from killing people like you. Take it easy on yourself. At least this once."

I blinked back tears. He moved his hand, got up and hugged me. I was surprised but I hugged him back. When we pulled apart he left to check on everyone.

So, the Edison group was over. Banks was gone-Two good things.

Amber was dead. Tori's mum might come back to haunt me. Banks might come back. People were dead because they were too stuipid to see the truth-Four bad things.

I rested my head on the table. Tori came in. She sat oposite me.

"I know," was all she said.

We sat in silence for what seemed a life time. We didn't move. We just sat near each other, letting the other not be alone. I ended up cooking a few random things with Tori's help. When the boys came back, I set out the food. We all ate together, but Peter and Megan.
