My longest chapter yet! Hopefully they will become a little longer later on in the story. Thank you for all the reviews. I'm intending to make this story a little longer than I originally planned. I'm sorry if it is going to take to long. Now that it's summer, I should be updating more often. Please review and Enjoy!

Once we were settled onto the beach, Amy didn't wait to start her questions. "So spill. Why were you running away from Alek and Jasmine?" I took a deep breath and explained what just happened. "Jasmine is okay, right?" She asked frantically.

"Luckily just scratches and bruises." I said as I lay back on my beach towel. The sun was just still low in the air, but it was a nice temperature out.

"I'm sure Alek was just trying to protect you." Paul pitched in. I almost laughed; Paul has started to develop a small man crush on him. No matter how rude Alek is to him, he always wants to defend him.

"He could've done it better." Amy whacked him.

"Fine fine." Paul paused for a moment before continuing. "Are you sure you're safe? Without Alek and Jasmine, you don't have any protection against Scarface."

"I can take care of myself."

I was slowly falling back asleep when Amy started to talk again. "I hate to ruin your happiness but Alek has already texted me five times since we left."

"Can I see the texts?" Amy handed me her phone.

WHERE ARE YOU?

Why did Chloe turn off her phone? WHERE IS SHE?

Amy, I know that you're with Chloe. WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?

Where are you? It's not safe for her to be by herself!

If I don't have an answer soon, I'll have no choice but to call Valentina.

The last text was only sent a few minutes ago. "He's threatening to call Valentina."

"You should call him back then." Amy suggested. I shook my head. There was no way I was going to call him. All it would accomplish is a big lecture. "If you don't, not only will Alek and Jasmine get in trouble, I wouldn't put it past Valentina to increase your security."

"Sometimes I hate it when you're right." I groaned and dialed Alek's number that I might've memorized.

"Amy?" Alek answered on the first millisecond of the first ring.

"It's Chloe." Amy was laughing at something Paul just did in the water and left to join him. "I'll let you talk to him alone." She whispered before she left.

"Where are you? Are you okay? Why on earth did you do something as stupid-?"

"I'm fine Petrov." I growled. "Just stop overreacting. I'll be back in a few hours."

"Chloe don't hang-" He started right before I hung up on him. I felt pretty bad about hanging up on him like that, but he deserved it. Before anything else could interrupt, I lie back down and fell asleep.

The next thing I remembered was Amy shaking me awake. "Wake up Chloe. Paul and I are going to grab lunch, we'll be right back." I mumbled some nonsense and fell back asleep as soon as she left.

"Apparently someone didn't get enough sleep last night." Amy laughed. I quickly shot up and saw that Paul and Amy were already back and eating lunch.

"Hi guys. What time is it?"

"Morning Chloe." Paul glanced at his watch. "It's almost one."

"I've been asleep for four hours?"

"Four and a half, but who's counting? You hungry?" Amy tossed me a sandwich without waiting for my answer. Right after she passed me the sandwich, her cell phone rang. "Hello, this is Amy… Alek, I don't think she wants to talk to you… Just leave her alone today… No, I will not give her the phone to talk to you… I'm not going to tell you that just leave her alone… It can't be that bad. She can take care of herself… Goodbye Alek."

"Why can't you just give him a break guys? He's just trying to keep Chloe safe." Paul defended him.

"He's gone way past protecting me. He needs to cool off a little." The sun was high in the sky so the temperature was higher by around twenty degrees. Perfect weather to take a nap. I was about to lay down again to sleep, but Amy pulled me back up.

"Come one kitty, you've been asleep for long enough. Come into the water with us." She begged.

"Wait; do Mai even like being in the water? Cats hate water." Paul asked. My mood instantly brightened.

"I'm not a cat Paul. We may have claws, but we aren't cats." Paul was starting to look embarrassed, so I decided to take pity on him. "Last one in the water is a rotten cat!" I screamed as I started to run. Paul, of course, came last, with Amy going for second. With my Mai powers, I easily beat them to the water.

We only stayed in the water for a little bit before I went back, complaining about my leg.

I regained consciousness chained up and in a dark room with Scarface staring at me, so could you blame me when I started screaming? "Screaming won't help you Chloe King. There is no one close enough to hear you." I searched my surroundings, trying to find out any piece of information around me. I was in a where house of some sort with a deep body of water to my right. There was very little in the room other than the water.

I tired to remember what happened before I was knocked out. I had just gotten off of work when Amy texted me, asking if I could go over to her house. It had felt like someone was following me, but I had just assumed that it was Alek following me. How stupid of me to assume that. If I didn't, then I might not have been in this situation. Wait… There was a reason why I thought it was Alek. He walked into the shop when I was working and told me that we had training tonight, but in the mean time, he was going to stay with me. What happened to him?

"What did you do to him? I swear, if you have hurt him in anyway-"

"Who said anything about harming that annoying British boy? Maybe he just got tired of protecting you." I was furious at him. The only thing I wanted to do is extend my claws and slash them right across his face.

"As much as I love talking to you, maybe I should get to the point to why you are here. You seem to pose a huge threat to us. Being the Uniter, you're supposed to unite your filthy race with the innocent humans, and that is something we can not and will not allow. The only way to prevent this is getting rid of you. As many times as it takes."

"Drowning is probably the most efficient way to kill you. Every time you die and come back to life, you'll try to breathe only to breath in water and slowly die again. "I struggled against the chains that were around me, with no such luck. "Where are your protectors' now? You have no one to come and save you." Scarface laughed. "Once your dead all eight more times, I can go after them." With one more laugh, he pushed me in.

The water was freezing and I quickly sank to the bottom of the water. No matter how much I struggled against the chains, they stayed put. I couldn't move, and I certainly couldn't swim to the surface. My lungs screamed for the oxygen that was only a few feet above me. I couldn't take it any more, I gasped for breath, only to breathe in water, and I slowly felt myself dying.

"Chloe?" I heard a voice say while being shaken. My eyes shot open and I instantly looked around my surroundings. I wasn't in the water, but at the beach. "Are you okay?" Amy asked. I took a few deep breaths before answering.

"I'm fine, it was just a nightmare." I lied. It was just like before. The dream felt way to real to mean nothing. I didn't know what they did actually mean. "But I think that my relaxation day is over." The only person that might know what they meant was her. I pulled out my phone, and as it finally fully loaded, I dialed Alek.

"Chloe? What happened? What's wrong? Is everything okay?" Alek quickly asked, almost too fast to understand.

"Nothing's wrong, but I need you or Jasmine to come pick me up."

"Why? Where are you?"

"I'm at the beach with Amy and Paul. I don't want to interrupt their day together just to drive me back to your apartment."

"I still don't-" He stopped mid-sentence. "I'll be there in fifteen. Don't go anywhere." And with that, he hung up.

"I wouldn't have mind minded driving you back to the apartment. Why are you going back? I thought you wanted to have time away from them."

"I need to ask Valentina something, plus, besides, if she gets home and I'm not there, she will go ballistic. And I don't want to interrupt your day with Paul. Go see a movie or go bowling. Have a nice day with each other."

"You are the best, Chloe King!" Amy squealed and hugged me. "We'll go to the new movie that just came out last week! It will be so much fun."

"I hope you have a good time. Are the dads okay with you being gone the whole day?"

"They went to some conference that's like two hours away. They won't be until late tonight. Anyways, they love Paul, as long as they don't find us alone in my room." I could tell that she was teasing me about the whole Bed Boy thing.

"Ha ha, very funny Amy." Exactly fifteen minutes after our phone call, Alek was walking towards us on the beach.

"Do you know how much we've been freaking out? We had no clue where you were, and we didn't know if you were okay." He said angrily once he reached us at the beach.

"I'm fine, so no need to worry. Let's just go." He frowned, but luckily didn't say anything else. "Bye Ames."

He pulled me to my feet and I winced when I put my weight on my leg so he lifted me into his arms. "Sorry about that." He actually sounded sincere. We were walking towards the parking lot before Amy shouted:

"Call me later Chloe King, or I swear that I will go pounding down the apartment door!" Amy loudly shouted behind us. Alek carried me all the way over to a sleek Black Jaguar. I knew that he had a car, maybe even multiple, but I didn't know it was a Jaguar. Apparently the Mai were doing better than what I originally thought. Somehow he managed to open the door with one hand and placed me in the passenger side.

"How long have you had the car?"

"Few months." He said briefly. "Are you going to tell me why you suddenly changed your mind and called me?" Before I could answer, my phone buzzed. Ignoring the ten missed text's and eight missed calls from Alek, I saw that Amy texted me.

Alek is so hot when he's worrying about you! Even though I tried to not agree with her, I couldn't help it. "I need to talk to Valentina, and that would probably be better if I'm home before she is."

"Why do you need to talk to her?" I knew that I should fill him in, but I didn't want to worry him when it would most likely be wrong. My dreams had to be just dreams, there was no way they could actually be warnings, right? Just because the first dream was how I lost my first life, doesn't mean the second dream was how I was going to lose my second.

"I just have a few questions for Valentina." That she can hopefully tell me that I am completely wrong.

I really hope that you don't hate me for changing the original story for mine. I know that in the TV show and book series, Chloe doesn't have dreams about losing her lives, but I thought it would be a nice twist.
