Changing the Future

How long did I cry for? I have no idea; all I know is that it was for a long time. Before I collapsed onto the floor and started to cry myself dry, Young Me, Simon, Tori and Derek ran into the room after hearing the guards screaming when I put the memory eraser on them. They were always there behind me when I was trying to punch the smirk off the guard's face; when Tori saw there was defiantly something wrong she froze me and I stopped punching him in midair. Rae used the memory eraser on the guard and then Tori unfroze me. The rage inside me didn't disappear; I kept punching him and it wasn't 'til Derek pulled me away that I finally had my break down.

"What's wrong with her?" I heard Tori ask over my sobs.

"She's upset, Tori." Andrew said.

"Well don't just stand there and watch her—me," Young Me said frantically. "Help me."

"Uh," someone said, I couldn't tell who I was crying hard now. "Um, should we try talking to her?"

Someone moved in front of me, Rae, and crouched down in front of me. "Chloe? Look at me," she took my face between her hands and turned my face up to look at her. "You need to get it together. I understand—God knows I understand what you're going through. But we're going to fix this, okay? We're going to get them back. Everything going to fine... But you can't help them if you can't help yourself." Rae's words got through to me. I need to get my family back, if I don't then... I'm not sure I can go on. I've lost everything... but I'm determined to find it again.

I'm not really sure how but I ended up in my bed, still in the clothes I fought in, and cried myself to sleep. Dreaming of when I finally get my Derek back.

Rae's POV

I have never seen Chloe like that before, sure I've seen her cry, but that was no ordinary crying. She was also violent. Violent! On purpose! That was not the Chloe everyone knows.
When I finished talking to her Derek picked her up and put her in her bed, she was still crying but didn't even seem to know what was going on around her. Andrew said that he'll take care of the guards.

Everyone looked shaken and confused and I took everyone's temporary daze to take a shower. I grabbed some of Chloe's clothes; she was a bit shorter than me but needs must.
As I stood under the hot shower, steam billowing around me, I realized that everyone must've heard what was said. What the guard said and what I said to Chloe. I didn't mind them know what we're here for but Chloe on the other hand, well she's all for sticking to the rules of time travel.
Time travel is confusing but I have a theory: If we change the past the future we come from won't happen. Because the future will change we won't have to go back in time to change the past therefore the people of the past wouldn't have met the people of the future, therefore going on as they should have. It kind of makes sense, I think.

When I was out of the shower, feeling better than I have done in days, I walk into the dining room and find everyone sitting at the table with their hands folded on the table, their faces confused and worried.

"Okay," I sigh. "Questions, right? Chloe probably won't answer your questions but I will... if they're reasonable."

They look shock at my words but also excited and interested at finally find out why two people from the future have come to them. They didn't say anything at first, probably trying to think of the biggest mind blowing question.

"Why did I come here on my own?" Chloe asked at last. This is a big question but they should know.

"Well," I say to Chloe, "Simon, Tori and Derek were going to come through with you but... something happened."

"What?" Simon asked eagerly.

"You all got shot," I didn't mean to sound blunt but even to my own ears I defiantly did. "You were all running to the portal and, from what I heard—I wasn't there—"

"Where were you then?" Tori said angrily, like someone who's just be abandoned. I didn't really want to tell them where I was, I didn't want to tell anyone... and hopefully I won't have to. I met Tori's eyes and hoped I looked strong and not guilty.

"That's a story for another day. As I was saying, you were all shot, Tori was first, then Simon. Chloe and Derek were so close but, as you heard, the guy with the red hair shot him."

"I have a question," Simon said with his brows furrowed. "What did he mean when he said 'your werewolf' to Chloe?"

His question almost made me laugh. Simon didn't care about how he was going to die in five years but who his girlfriend is gonna be. I really wanted to laugh but it wasn't the time. "Um, I don't know—talk to the other Chloe—anyway, yeah, you're all dead— any other questions?" That was my sorry attempt of subject changing. Simon, Derek and Chloe looked confused and Tori looked amused. It would be funny if Simon does ask the future Chloe about it and I can't wait to hear her excuse. Unless she tells them, that would be awkward.

"What was that thing you put on the guards heads? The metal thing?" Tori asked.

"That is the memory eraser, we plan to use on a very evil supernatural."

"Worse than Davidoff?" Tori smirked.

"Davidoff was like a child with a toy he couldn't handle. He was nothing."

Derek raised an eyebrow. "Was?"

I sighed. "Look, I can't tell you everything. Just the basics: You're all dead. Chloe's not. She came back to save you. And she is incredibly upset because you're not with her. Hopefully she'll be able to pull herself together so we can go and—"

Someone coughed in the doorway. Chloe. She had her arms crossed over her chest and was glaring at me with all her might. I was so busted.

"Ah, Chloe," I said a bit nervously. "I thought you were asleep. Didn't hear you get up," I said with a pointed look at Derek. He just shrugged.
Chloe ignored me and walked over to the table. She didn't sit down, but put her hands on the back of a chair. "What did Rae tell you?" She asked, all traces of her earlier breakdown gone, apart from the heartbroken look in her eyes.

No one answered her at first, just fidgeting in their seats.

Derek was the one who was brave enough to face the wrath of Chloe, but then again, he's usually the only one who is. "She told us that we're all dead in the future and that you plan to change that by erasing a supernatural's memory."

Chloe's sharp gaze turned to me. "Well she's told you too much then hasn't she," She tightened her hold on the chair, like she was restraining her hands from hitting me.

"Chloe," I say cautiously. "I still don't think you've had enough rest—still not yourself—"

"For God's sake Rae, why did you tell them?" She exploded. "If I didn't tell them," she pointed at herself, "then what gives you the damn right to tell them? They didn't need to know!" She kept shouting. She ran her fingers through her hair in exasperation and seemed to keep her fingers there, like she was pulling on her hair, with a pained and annoyed expression one her face.
Something is definitely wrong.

"It's okay, we can handle it—" Simon started.

"It's not a matter of you handling it," she told him, still shouting. "You shouldn't even know I'm here, let alone know why I'm here."

Shouting at Simon now? Not a good sign. I jump up out of my seat and grab Chloe by the arm and steer her out the room. I stop us at the bottom of the stairs and hold onto her shoulders tightly. "Stop it," I hiss.

"Stop what?" she says trying to squirm out of my grasp but I hold on tighter.

"You're acting like a crazy person. First you make that guard feel death, then you try to punch him to death, then you have a breakdown in front of everyone and now you're acting like a looney in front of everyone. Not cool, snap out of it.

She didn't seem to be taking anything in. "Get-off-me," she said struggling away from me.

"Chloe, stop." I say and before I know it I'm drawing back my hand and then whip it across her face. The force takes her by surprise and she falls to the floor. She cups her cheek in her hand and looks up at me in astonishment.

"Did you just slap me?"

"Oh, God," I say and kneel down next to her. "Sorry, sorry, sorry. I don't know why I did that—you were acting weird so I tried to slap it out of you. Sorry, sorry, sorry."

She stares at me and blinks a few times.

Then we both turned towards the hysterical laughter. "That," Tori laughed, "was the funniest thing I've seen since we've been here."

"Cool, a bitch fight," Simon smiled. "Chloe, this is the part where you start pulling on her hair."

The younger Chloe elbows Simon in the ribs. "Shut up, Simon." She looks at us confused and stricken. "What was that all about? We come out here to see what's wrong and see that you're—" she points at me "— slapping her—me—round the face!"

Chloe and I both scramble up off the floor and I look at Chloe apologetically while she rubs her red cheek. "You—I mean you," I turn to the older Chloe, "were acting weird and I've only seen you like that when you use too much of your power and when you're stressed at the same time."

She glares at me. "So you slapped me?"

"I did it on impulse," I say defensively. "If you think about it for a bit, you should be thanking me."

She rubs her cheek a bit too melodramatically now. "Yes, I am entirely grateful that you slapped me across the face." She says in a sweet voice.

I glared back at her now. "Sarcasm does not become you, Chloe." We stand there glaring at each other for a few moments, all the while Simon and Tori looked on in amusement, Chloe in confusion and Derek looks on in disapproval and, maybe, just a hint of amusement.

Chloe sighed and lowered her hand from her cheek. "I suppose I should thank you. You did shock me out of my... craziness. So... thanks," she says awkwardly.

"You're welcome. And I'm sorry for slapping you. And for what I did... before all this, you know?"

"Yeah, I know. I forgive you for slapping me but I don't forgive you for that."

I sigh in exasperation. "Please Chloe—"

"No, Rae. I still don't trust you. I still need to find a reason. With the fight with the guards you moved a step forward but with you telling them why we're here... you just moved two steps back."

Looking into Chloe's eyes I could see that means what she says. At that moment I wished things could be like before, like best friends. That's impossible now.

"What are you talking about? What did Rae do?" Tori asked.

I ignored her. "Fine," I nod. "But I'm staying with you till the end."

She eyed me suspiciously but shrugged anyway. She then puts on a sweet smile and turns towards the others. "Sorry about that, you guys hungry?"

They nodded, disappointed that they didn't find out any more information, and walked to the kitchen. I trailed behind them and Chloe walked behind me.

"By the way Rae," Chloe says casually. "Give me the memory eraser."

I freeze in my stride and put on a fake casual voice of my own. "Of course, I forgot about that." I reach into my pocket and hand it to her.

She looks at me like she doesn't believe I forgot about it at all— which I didn't. She takes it and puts in her own pocket and walks past me into the kitchen.

I sigh.

Damn, I almost had it.

Well that's that folks. This was mostly a filler but the part at the end is important. What do you think of the change POV? Should I do different POVs or just stick with the one? Tell me what you think. I'll try to update as soon as possible but homework makes it hard. Thanks for reading and I hoped you enjoyed! And please REVIEW! xx
