Changing the Future

I looked up at my old friends face, emphasis on the old. We found Rae and her mother a few months after the incident with Davidoff, we stayed with them and things were fine until the Edison group found us and took Rae's mother. She sold us all out to get her mother back, even though we were all planning to rescue her anyway. The Edison Group attacked us and, of course, Rae didn't get her mother back. The Edison Group separated Aunt Lauren and Kit from Derek, Simon, Tori and I. We all made it out alive but some of us were hurt. We knew Aunt Lauren and Kit were fine but I still resent Rae for selling us out, for putting my family in danger and for splitting us up. She is the last person I want to see.

I just sat there and stared at her with fury in my eyes. Everybody at the table was looking at me and Rae, expressions a cross between shock and confusion. Rae looked at me pleadingly but I ignored it. "Chloe, please," she begged. "I need your help."

That done it. I rose from my seat, angrily, and slammed my hands on the table. "How dare you come here and ask me for help!" I shouted. Everyone flinched and looked wary and my outburst and expression. "Why would I help you after what you did?"

"I know what I did was wrong," she sobbed. "And I regret it—"

"Why?" I exclaimed "Didn't you get your mother back?" I asked with fake concern. "After all, the Edison Group always keeps their promises, don't they? After what you did I'm surprised I haven't already attacked you, which I'm very close to doing if you don't leave," I said pointing to the door.

Rae still looked pleading but determination set in her eyes. "I won't leave until you hear me out. It's important for me and for you. Listen to me."

I started to shout some more but Simon cut in. "Chloe, maybe you should listen. It might be important," he said cautiously.

I laughed without humour. "You wouldn't be saying that if you knew what she did—what she's going to do. In fact you'd be angrier than me."

"Chloe I understand you don't want to help me, but you do need to listen to this though. When I went through the portal some of the Edison Group went through after me and they're not that far behind me. They'll be here soon."

More anger built up inside me. "You led them here? You put us all in danger?"

Her eyes widened. "No, no, I didn't mean to. I had to find you; I had to get through the portal. But after I went through about six guards went through after me. I out ran them but I know they tracked me here. You need to help me stop them."

I knew what she meant by 'stop them'. But I'm not sure the others did. From what I gathered from Rae's story, I'm guessing a handful of guards from the future have come to the past after Rae. If they've only just come through, like Rae, then I'm hoping they're unarmed. I can't let them get to the house. If they hurt anybody from the past it could change the future.

"When did you come through the portal?" I asked Rae.

"About... I donno," she thought for a moment. "Three, four hours ago, I had to get to this house. They should be only a few minutes away. They knew I would come here, I didn't mean for them to follow me, I didn't know they'd come after me, I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry," she started to cry again. Ignoring her sobs I turned to a confused Andrew.

"Get me the guns, that's not a request. I need them now," Andrew hesitated a moment, but soon hurried off. I turned to the Simon, Tori, Derek and Me. "Stay in the house, don't go outside," I turned to Rae. "Which way are they coming from?"

She pointed towards the back door. "Probably through the woods, I came through that way but knocked on the front door. I didn't think me knocking on the back door while you're all eating would go down so well," she gave a small smile at the feeble joke but I kept glaring at her. "Do you have any clothes?" She asked sheepishly, she obviously thought asking me for things was a bad idea, but needs must. I wanted to say no but Young me jumped in.

"Yes, Andrew just bought some more. They're up stairs, second door to the left."

I sharply turned my head towards Me and turned my glare to myself, which was weird.

Rae looked startled at being addressed by the younger me. "Uh, thanks," she wiped her tears and hurried away up the stairs.

"Whoa, this is weird. I've never thought I'll see the day when Chloe had pure hatred in her eyes, especially directed at Rae. Never thought I'll see her again. I don't particularly like Rae but from the sounds of things you hate her," Tori stirred. "What did she do? Why do you hate her?"

"Tori stop, this isn't the time," Derek said.

Tori opened her mouth to argue but then Andrew came in with my glocks. He handed them to me handle first. "You will be carful with them? You won't do anything stupid?"

"I have used a gun before; I think I can handle it."

"Really? When?" Simon asked eagerly. Derek gave him a look and quickly said, "sorry, not the time."

Rea came in then, wearing a new tank top, one I particularly liked, and some track suit bottoms. She still looked dirty but there was defiantly no time for her to get a shower. "Oh, you have weapons, great," she held out her hand expectantly. I gave her an Incredulous look that said 'no way'. "Oh c'mon, I need something to fight with. What am I supposed to use?"

"You still have your powers, don't you? Use that." I knew I was being harsh, and I don't think I needed two guns but Rae was just not my favourite person right now.

"Well you have your Necromancer powers, don't you? Why don't you use that?" She asked, no longer the Rae who was begging for forgiveness but her usual self with the attitude.

I opened my mouth to give her some attitude of my own my but Derek cut me off. "You guys can bitch to each other later. Give Rae a gun because the Edison Group guards are here." He was looking out the glass of the back door into the woods. I couldn't see anything but Derek's werewolf sight probably could and I didn't doubt it.

"Fine," I said a little childishly and thrust a gun into Rae's hand. "Remember what I said, okay? Stay here."

"They're not babies Chloe, I think they understand," Rae, oh so helpfully, put in. I was going to say something really bitchy but the guards started to emerge from the woods. "C'mon, let's go kick some Edison Group butt," with that she sprinted out the door, gun in hand and I followed suit but not so eagerly.

Six guards came out of the woods, three had weapons but they weren't attacking. Rae and I lifted our guns and aimed at the men that were armed. We were outnumbered but not out skilled.

"Rae and Chloe, I presume," a tall man with ginger hair said. He had a smug look on his face and I immediately decided something bad was going to happen to him. "You've been causing quite a stir back home."

"How do you know our names?" Rae asked.

The man with the red hair chuckled. "Everybody knows who you are. There's a bounty on both your heads. $20,000 for whoever brings you back alive and $10,000 for whoever brings you back dead. Paid by O'Neil himself, generous of him, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, real generous of him," Rae said with a sarcastic smile. "We're not going anywhere with you, please leave," she said with a clenched teeth.

The whole group chuckled now. "Well seeing as you put it so nicely...," he sneered at us. "You can either come quietly or we'll take you by force, your choice."

"Like I said we're not going anywhere," Rae was getting angry now, her gun was starting to get really hot making it glow a luminous orange.

"Rae calm down. Don't you dare break my gun," She started to worry me, we all know what Rae's like when she's angry. She took a few deep breaths and the guns glow settled down.

"Enough talking! Just take them!" A smaller man said from behind the ginger man. Two men moved forward to grab us and we moved our guns to their heads. In that momentary distraction another two men grabbed us from behind. They put their arms around our necks, but we didn't drop our guns. Rae put her hand on the guards arm and he screamed in pain as she burnt his arm. I put as much force into stepping onto the guard, that was holding me, foot. He yelped and loosened his hold on me. I pried his arm away from my neck and twisted it round so I was in front of him with his arm in my hands. I pushed his arm down while it was still twisted and he cried out. He was bent down so his head was perfect level for me to swing my foot across his head.
One down—no, make that two. Rae had her hand around the guards' throat and her hands glowed red and smoke was coming out of them. The second guard went down, four to go. This time it wasn't a guard each it was two each making it that much harder. They charged at us and to even the odds I shot one of them in the leg. I felt bad momentarily but then remember that they tried to kill me first. The guard I shot went down, cradling his leg to chest and whimpering in pain. The tall ginger one came at me and hit me round the head, I didn't even see it coming. My vision blurred as I hit the ground and in my momentary distraction the guard knocked my gun out my hand and grabbed my hair to pull me up. I yelped in pain and tried to pull the guards hands away.
Rae couldn't help me; she was too busy with her guard. It looks like she shot one, I think I heard a gun fire, I couldn't tell I was too busy being hit the head.

"Gotcha," the guard smirked in my ear. "Come quietly and I won't hurt your little friends over there," he swung me around towards the house so I could see the scared looks of Me, Tori, Simon, Derek, and even Andrews, face.

"You don't listen, do you? I'm not going anywhere with you," I said slowly to make sure he understood. He obviously didn't like being spoken to like he was slow so he let go of my hair and threw me to the ground. He was one of the guards with a gun, so when I looked up there was a gun pointed at my face.

In front of me I could see the scared and frantic looks of Simon, Tori and Me running out the door with Derek telling them to get back inside.

"I said to stay inside!" I yelled at them.

"But—," Simon started.

"No, no, no. They should stay, they can see how you die," The guard said loud enough for them to hear. No way was I going to die, especially like this with everybody watching. So I swung my legs out from under me and kicked him in the shin hard enough for him to lose his footing and fall to the ground. I jumped up as quickly as I could and purposely stepped onto the guards' wrist. There was a crack and a scream and he let go of his gun. Then I did something I very rarely do, only when I'm really angry.
I took hold of him round the throat and a feeling like ice went through my arm all the way down to my finger tips. I let that feeling go through me into the guard, knowing that what he was feeling was death. The guard opened his mouth in a silent scream and only little choking sounds came out of his mouth. I wasn't holding his throat tightly, wouldn't even hurt anyone if I wasn't making them feel death, but I knew he must be in agony.
And still I didn't want to stop.
I wanted him to suffer for threatening me and my friends, for coming here and for trying to kill me. I knew what I was doing wouldn't kill him but I only wanted to see him suffer.

"Chloe, enough. Enough! He won't be able to take much more," Rae shouted at me, but still I didn't stop. A part of me knew this was wrong and I had to stop but I couldn't let go. The guard is probably in serious pain and that's wrong, right?

Suddenly my hand was wrenched from the guards' throat and I was pushed to the ground. All my thoughts on me making the guard suffer left me and I had to blink to focus on Rae shaking and yelling at me.

"Chloe, Chloe, snap out of it," she snapped her fingers in front of my face a few times.

"Yes, yes, I'm alright. Get off me," Rae was leaning over me and so was everyone else.

"Chloe what happened?" Simon asked. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I said taking his hand to get up, but as soon as I was on my feet I felt myself fall to ground and everything went dark.

Please don't tell me I just fainted.
