Yes, I know I haven't updated in awhile. But, hey, I like to read (a lot) and that takes up some of my time.
Taste the Rainbow- Or Else, As an answer to your question, no Chloe isn't. Even though that would be a very good twist to the story.

Changing the Future

Rae's POV

I stood in shocked silence as I saw my mother, Kit, Lauren, Simon, Tori and Derek walk out of the woods. I stood transfixed at the sight of their appearance in the garden, like, five years in the past. I didn't even notice that Chloe pulled me off the patio and into the house until the glass door slid in front of my face and the click of the lock being turned.
I don't understand. Why are they here? Simon, Tori and Derek are dead, I'm sure of it. No way can someone survive a shot to the chest or the heart or the head for that matter. Only the darkest of magic can achieve something like this and only a psycho would try—Of course. Only a psycho would bring something back from the dead. And I have a pretty good I idea who the psycho is. Jasper O'Neil. And I know why they're here. They're here for me.

"Rae? Rae, are you okay?" Chloe waved a hand in front of my face, bringing me back to reality.

"Sorry, I just zoned out for a second. This is just... crazy."

Chloe nodded with a knowing look in her eyes. "I don't understand. They're dead. Well, Derek, Tori and Simon are. How—how are they here?"

"I don't know," I lied, "but we should see what they want."

"Hey, I'm looking pretty good in the future," Simon said causing Chloe and I to jump about a foot in the air. I forgot they were there. Andrew, Derek, Tori, Simon and Chloe were also looking out into the garden. "Look, I even have muscles. Not as much as Derek though," he prodded Derek with his elbow. "And I didn't even think it was possible for Derek to get taller. Tori... well you just look older and have longer hair but you still have that same old bitchy-ness about you."

"Shut up Simon! This is serious!" Tori scolded. "Something wrong, this isn't right." She looks up at Chloe and me. "This is wrong, right?

Chloe nods. "Definitely wrong," she put her hand on the door handle. "I'm gonna go out and talk to them."

Without thinking I grabbed her wrist in a vice like grip. "No!" I let go of her wrist. "I—I mean. I'll go. It might be too hard for you. You know, what with losing Derek and everything." (Derek shifted on the spot) "I'll go and talk to them."

Chloe narrowed her eyes at me. "If you're implying that I can't handle it because I'm too weak, I assure you, you have nothing to worry about."

"No! No, I'm just saying that maybe you should stay just in case, you know?"

Chloe looked out into the garden and sighed. "Fine, but I'll go out if I need to. Understand?"

"Yes, okay," I quickly slid open the doors and I briskly walked out to meet the others.

They were all just standing there in the middle of the garden, the light of the porch shining on their face contrasting with the shadows making them have a ghostly appearance. The group in the garden watched me walk out to them with passive eyes.

"Hello Rae," my mother smiled sweetly at me. She looked down at my hand at frowned. "You know I told you I don't like you using guns. Horrible weapons," she shook her head just like my mother would do. Except this wasn't my mother.

I scoffed at her and sneered. "Yes, my mother told me that. But you're not my mother. You're very good at acting like her though."

My mother look- a- like dropped her motherly face and smirked. "I am good at acting like her, aren't I? You want to know what the best part about it is," she said not waiting for an answer. "I have all her memories." She put her hand on my face in a motherly way and adopted the motherly expression again. "So you see how easily it for me to play Mother Jacinda."

I moved away from her hand cautiously. "What about all of you? Are you Zombies or something because last time I checked you were dead." I said to Tori, Simon and Derek.

Simon smirked. "Nope, not zombies. You see, we're something you would call reflectors. We reflect other people's appearance, memories, powers, feelings and... basically their whole lives."

"Why are you here?"

He smiled a Simon-ish smile. "To make sure you do your job. We have a message for you, from O'Neil. He says and I quote, 'She better do her job quick or I'll sever her mother's limbs from her body and feed them to my werewolves'."

His words sent a shiver down my spine. They had my mother—my real mother. They captured her and know they're using me. I love my mother more than anything and I'll do anything for her, even if it means betraying my friends... again. "I'm doing it as fast as I can, I swear, I just need more time. But did all of you need to be here? It doesn't take six... reflectors to deliver a message."

"No, it doesn't," Tori- look- a- like agreed. "This is to give you more time. The more poor Chloe is busy with us—her supposedly dead family—the less time she'll spend with trying to find O'Neil. Giving you more time to get what O'Neil wants. Once he's got what he wants we kill Chloe, go forward in time, you get your mother and we leave these... bodies." She looked behind me and smiled. "Here comes Chloe now."

Chloe walked up to us with a confident stride and a scowl on her face. "What are you hiding? Derek can't hear a thing you're saying."

Derek- look- a- like smiled. "You know Simon can do a spell to block noise Chloe. Did you forget that?"

Chloe stopped in her tracks and faced Derek. Her eyes widened and the gun in her hand slackened. Derek's smile widened, the smile he only gives to Chloe and moved towards her. She moved back and a hard look crossed her face. "You're dead." She simply said.

Derek gave her a look the look that usually says Really? Are you sure? "Chloe, our world is full of magic. We were healed by the Edison Group for information but, like we always do, we escaped. We went to Crazy Dave and followed you here."

"No. I know you can't heal the dead, you were all definitely dead. I saw you die."

Derek moved forward again but this time Chloe didn't move away. He took her hand and pulled her close. "No, Chloe. Look at us. We're here and alive. The only way you'd be able to bring back the dead is as if you used dark magic," he laughed a rare Derek laughed. "Not even the Edison Group would go as far as to use Dark magic to bring a body back from the dead."

If these reflectors reflect people I'm sure that those people have to be alive. Dark magic was definitely involved here. And Dark magic was using Chloe. Making her weak. It was going to kill her. I can't let that happen. Ever.

"Chloe—" I tried to warn her but my fake mother but her hand on my arm which would look like a nice gesture but she held on tight. Bruises will definitely be there in the morning.

"Honey, let them have their moment. You don't know what it's like to lose someone." The hidden yet in her sentence.

This is tearing me apart. Save my mother or save Chloe.

"Chloe, it's us. It's me, Derek. See?" He stroked back the hair from her eyes and cupped her face in his hands. She took a deep breath as if to give her strength and closed her eyes. "It's too good to be true," she murmured.

Too good to be true, I thought. It's a shame it isn't true.

Derek pulled her into a hug. She let him but she still had a wary look in her eyes. Maybe she won't fall for it completely. There's hope.

Tori's look- a- like smirked along with Simon. "Easy" she whispered to him. "So we're all together again," she said a bit more loudly, "one big happy family. Let's go meet our past selves shall we?"

And together we walked up to the house. These visitors made me more scared than I already was but they helped me to realise that I hate being used.

I have to get rid of them.

Short but it was only a filler chapter. Remember to give me a review. What do you think, good or bad? I want to know. I'm not completely sure about this chapter, so if it's terrible I'll re-write it. I'll hopefully update when I can... REVIEW PLEASE!
