Hey, it's the weekend people! Whoop Whoop!
But now on a darker note, I see there is another time travel story, yes I have read it. And I have to say that it's heartbreaking when someone does that, you know? Especially when that person favourited your own story. Maybe she'll have lots of different qualities in her story and it's completly different but I can't deny I'm not upset or angry about it. If you all like this new story, I'll stand back and let her take over. Well I'm done with my ranting now.

Unfortunately I do not own the Darkest Powers :( Fortunately I do own the plot! :D (So be warned)

Changing the Future

My ankle was killing me. I'm sure it's supposed to get better not worse. Tori and my younger self left for my lesson with Margret, I almost forgot how much I hate that woman, so it's just me, Simon, Derek and Andrew in the house. Being with Derek is breaking my heart, being with all of them is. I almost got used to the fact that my friends are gone and that it's going to take some work to get them back. But to have them right next to me, it makes my heart ache. Every time Derek's next to me I have a strong urge to reach out and take his hand but I wonder what sort of problems that would cause.
I'm older than him, does that count? He doesn't even like me yet. Simon likes me now. Oh this is so confusing. The bottom line is I want my Derek back.

"Hey Chloe, are you ok? You look upset," Simon stated from beside me on the sofa. I had my elbow on the arm of the chair with my head resting in my hand. I snapped my head up and changed my expression into a smile.

"I'm just tired."

He nodded in understanding. "Well why don't you sleep? Derek will lend you one of his shirts—right bro?" He added to Derek.

Derek frowned. "What?"

"You'll let Chloe borrow one of your shirts to sleep in? She's real tired."

Derek shifted his gaze to me and I started to splutter once again. "It's okay, I don't need one. I'm fine with what I g—"

"It's fine, I'll get you one," he grumbled. He lifted himself off his chair and moved silently out the room.

"See? Knew he wouldn't mind," he smiled. "So is Derek always like this in the future or does he change? Oh c'mon," he said when he saw my expression. "You can tell me that, can't you?"

Hmm, well it doesn't exactly change the future in anyway. It couldn't hurt but I don't really want to talk about the future Derek, it hurts too much. To answer his question I put my finger to my lips and pointed upstairs, meaning, shh Derek can hear. Simon understood and nodded. Derek came back into the room, scowling at Simon on the way, and threw me his shirt. I held it up in front of me to see the words, If You Don't Want Me Looking, Stop Looking So Good!. I look at Derek from behind the shirt, a confused look on my face.

"Margret chose the shirt. I'll change it," Derek said. Before I could protest he took the shirt and quickly walked out the room. Simon started laughing the instant he was gone.

"Can you imagine Derek actually wearing that?" He laughed. I smile at first but then my smile turned into a laugh, the first time I've laughed in ages.

Derek entered again. "Here, this one isn't so bad. I don't have many simple ones, I swear Margret done it on purpose," he handed me the shirt and I opened it up. This one said, Come over to the nerd side, we have pi. I laughed at this one. I said thanks and limped out the room and hopped up the stairs into the room I was using. I changed into my shirt and snuggled deep into the covers.

I didn't sleep long before my stomach rumbled for lunch. I swung out of the bed and limped out the room with Derek's t-shirt still on. Everybody was in the kitchen having their lunch. I walked over and sat next to Simon in my usual place.

"Nice t- shirt," Tori said when I sat down. "Bit big for you though."

I laughed.

"Did you know that was going to happen?" Young Me asked myself. "In the cemetery, did you know?"

"Cemetery? Is that where you trained? How can you be so stu—?"

I cut off Derek. "Yes I knew. I was you five years ago, remember?"

"But you could have warned us at least. It was a disaster."

"What happened?" Derek demanded.

"Well," Tori started. "A load of ghost apparently surrounded us when Chloe was summoning but she ended up raising all the dead in the cemetery, but it wasn't Chloe's fault, it was all Margret," Tori finished.

"Well I know I'll never have a lesson with Margret anymore. I think she's frightened of me now."

I snorted. "That's a good thing, the woman's evil."

"Hmm, do you mean hypothetically or as a fact?" Tori asked.

Damn, another mistake. I just shovelled a load of food in my mouth to avoid answering. "Will one of you do me a favour?" I asked Simon and Derek, changing the subject.

Derek raised his eyebrows and Simon nodded. "It's only a one man job. I was just wondering if one of you could bring by car back to the house, I promised my friend I would look after it. I would do it myself but my ankle. You can both drive, can't you?"

"Of course we can—I'll get it," Simon headed for the door but Derek pulled him back into his chair.

"I'll get it, you're more likely to crash it. Besides, I'm older," Derek stood up and out the door.

"How come you have a car?" Me asked me. "I thought you couldn't bring anything with you?"

"I borrowed it from a friend. He didn't mind."

Young me was about to ask another question but Andrew walked in with the news paper. "I think you should read this," Andrew said, passing me the newspaper.

I opened it up and read:

Late last night many drivers reported a woman appearing on the road without any clothes on and run into Walkmans Wood. Soon after two campers reported being robbed in the same wood and seeing the same woman. They said a woman of her early twenties, with blond hair and blue eyes knocked them out and took one campers clothes. They couldn't give us know other information.
Later that night more drivers reported that four men arrived on the road, again without any clothing. They also departed into the woods.
If anybody has any information on these strange occurrences, please don't hesitate to contact...

I read the same paragraph over and over with my eyes wide and mouth hanging open. This is bad. Really bad. Edison Group workers are in this time as well. Perfect, just perfect, just what I needed. "Andrew, I'm gonna want my guns back," I said still staring at the page.

"Why? What are you going to do? Kill them?"

"Right now I just want them to defend myself. But if it comes down to that, then I will."

Everybody's face was a look of confusion and shock. "Why does Chloe have to kill people?" Tori asked.

"People from the future have come for Chloe," Andrew answered.

"Not necessarily, they could be here for me or here to protect the person I'm after. I'm guessing the latter. They know where the person I'm after is they don't know where I am. It would be easier for me to come to them, instead of them running around looking for me. They know I'll come eventually and I will. But for now I'm just going to be calm, heal my ankle and work out a plan," I finished with an exhale.

They still all looked concerned. "Are you sure?" Young Me asked.

"Yes, that's what the Edison Group will do. They wouldn't expect me here; it's too dangerous for me to be here anyway. Relax, okay? Everything's fine. I promise. Now, let's speak of something good, god knows we all need it." I tried for a cheery tone. They all looked sceptical at first but then they relax.

Derek strides into the room with a small grin on his face. "That car is awesome."

Everyone looks shocked at Derek's comment, it's very rare for Derek to say thing like that. "I'm glad you liked it. I love it." I smiled at him.

"I gotta see this car," Simon jumps up and runs to the window. "Whoa! That is the coolest car ever." Simon's words had everyone jumping up to look at the car, leaving me and Derek at the table. Simon turned his head to speak to me. "Where did you get it? Is it fast? Can I drive it? At least sit in it?"

"Boys and their toys," Tori sighed sitting back at the table with young me in tow.

"I need a better look at this," Simon all but walked from the room.

"I better go and make sure he doesn't hot wire it," Derek walked out the room, even Andrew went to go see the car.

It was just me, Me and Tori now in the kitchen. "C-Chloe?" Me asked. "Can I ask you something?"

"As long as it's not about the future; by all means."

"I-I was w-wondering if y-you—we - have learned to control our powers yet?" I always hated that stutter.

"Well it is about the future but still harmless enough. Yes I have, I know a lot of information now too."

"I was thinking that m-maybe you c-could teach m-me? I understand if you can't."

I sat there shocked of this idea Young Me just had. I didn't know whether to say yes or no. I couldn't do much harm, maybe it will safe me having to do all that research in the future. It will definably come in handy. I sighed. "Okay, I'll help us out. Lessons start tomorrow," I said. Young me looked relieved and excited. I gave myself a small smile and limped out the room. Well tomorrow's going to interesting.

Well that's all folks. Not much but I hoped you enjoyed all the same. Sorry about my rant at the beginning but it really has p***** me off, but what can you do? I'll update as soon as I can (if you want) and please keep reading and please keep reviewing too!
