Chloe Pov
"How did the audition go?" Jasmine asked as I slid into her car. "Pretty well, they said they would let me know in a week." I responded trying to think of something else to say. The car ride was very awkward. "So who was all there? Any other famous people?" Jasmine asked. "Well of course. Ian Somerhalder, Dakota Fanning, Selena Gomez, and I think Lilly Collins. I didn't see anyone else."
"Wow, so you basically see those people all the time? Your so lucky." Jasmine said in a daze.
"Yep, just please watch the road." I smiled nervously. We pulled up to a hotel and I started to feel very nervous. A man opened our doors, and I graciously stepped out. My hat and sunglasses protecting my face. Jasmine walked ahead of me, and I followed until I was face to face with the pent-house door.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I asked quietly.
"Yes Chloe, this is the only way to protect you." She opened the door, and I was met with a spacious floor plan. Well it didn't look like the evil lair I was expected, but this will do.
"Chloe King?" I heard a women's voice. I turned to my right, and saw Valentina walking towards me. I quickly took off the sunglasses, and put them in my purse. "Hi, it's nice to meet you." I said politely. She smiled and nodded, but then turned to look at Jasmine. "Where is Alek?" she asked sternly. "He said he would be here, I tried calling but, no answer." She responded quietly. I was very confused, Jasmine was always such a strong person, but in front of her mother it was a whole different girl. "Go find him now." Valentina ordered harshly. Jasmine grabbed her keys and left as fast as possible.
"I'm very sorry for this." Valentina spoke towards me. I shifted uncomfortably. "Jasmine's been great. With everything." I finally got the guts to respond. "I'm sure she has. Come sit down over here." I walked towards a couch and plopped down, with Valentina following after.
"Chloe, I know this is a lot to take in, but you are the Uniter. You are going to save the Mai race once day, and you have 8 lives to do so." She said looking directly at me. "I know, Jasmine, and Alek explained everything. I just don't know how this is ever going to fit in with my schedule. Especially if I get this movie deal. I mean I have award shows, interviews, signings, rehearsals, appearances, and everything else. I am not going to just quit all of that. I was a human first, so my human life will always come first." I said finding my inner strength.
"I understand. We will have to work around all of that. I will figure it out later. You have to train with Jasmine, and Alek. They have to watch you all the time. Your own bodyguard could be part of the order. We will have Mai following you everywhere you go, but we need a stable protector. One who will always be within distance." She explained calmly.
"What are you saying?" I asked curious. "Well, do you have a boyfriend?" She asked, my eyes widened in shock. Why is she asking this?
"No, why? What does this have to do with anything?" I asked immediately. Just then the door flew open, I turned quickly to see Alek, and Jasmine walking in. I smiled at them, and Alek rolled is eyes, while Jasmine asked what was going on.
"Alek and Chloe are dating now." Valentina exclaimed. "WHAT!" Alek, and I yelled. "I am not dating him! I'm so close to getting Taylor Lautner!" I said quickly. "Taylor Lautner? Please, I'm much better then that 'mut' any day." Alek stated proudly. "So your okay with this?" I asked shocked. "Of course, I get the perks of going to Hollywood parties, red carpet event, and to cheer you on from the side of the stage whenever you need it kitten." He said walking towards me. "Your not fooling anyone. Especially me." I told him through gritted teeth poking his chest as he stood in front of me. "Chloe it's the only safe way to protect you." Valentina said standing up from the couch. I looked at everyone, well I guess I have no choice, and that's the only reason I'm agreeing to this. "Fine, but just because I have to." I said facing Valentina. She smiled at me, and I knew it was time for me to go home. I started to walk towards the door when I heard footsteps behind me. "I'll take a cab." I yelled towards them opening the door. Before I could close it a hand got in the way. I stumbled a little, and Alek's hand grabbed my arm to steady me. "Actually, I'll drive you, since we are a couple now, I think I should meet the parents." He said throwing his arm around me. "Parent Alek, just parent."
