I do not own Darkest Powers! Kelly Armstrong does!

Chloes POV

When we finaly arrived at the Safe House, I couldn't have been happier. Tonight I'm finally going to sleep in an actual bed, after taking an actual shower. Maybe some of this dye will wash out. Oh well, it was nice of him to try i guess.

Andrew told us to go upstairs and pick a room that we wanted. Anyof them except his. Of corse Tori rushes up the stairs and picks the best room before any of us can even get up there. Simon and Derek picked rooms close together. It's nice that they're so close. Then I went and picked mine. Of corse it was to the east so the sun would wake me up in the morning but oh well.

I went in and kicked off my shoes and got into the bed. It was sooo nice to be in a bed. I was almost asleep when there was a quite knock on my door. I frowned internaly. Please just let me sleep...

"Chloe?" Of corse it was Simon. He was nice but sometimes it got anoying how nice he was to me.

"Come in Simon..." I whisper yelled.

He opened the door and poked his head in and smiled at me. Then he came all the way in and walked over to the bed and sat down.

"Hey. It's nice to sleep in a bed again isn't it?" he said still smilling at me.

"Yeah it is." I sat up useing my elbows for support.

"So anyway, I came in here to ask you if you would explore the house with me sometime tomorrow? It's really old so there must be a few rooms I've never seen."

"Um... Maybe. It depends on what everyones doing tomorrow. Andrew might ahve something in mind..." It's not that i didn't want to go with him, it was more of, i want to spend more time away from him. I though I liked him a while ago. But i guess I didn't like him too too much because those feelings were starting to go away more and more. Now he was more of a good friend or a brother.

"OK thats cool. We'll see what everyone is doing before we go." with that he got up and walked out of the room with one last smile at me.

Finaly sleeping time!!

Dereks POV

We got to the safe house and everyone looked happy to just be in a house where we didn't have to be on high alert all the time.

Andrew told us to pick our rooms. I guess that was all Tori needed to hear because she rushed up the stairs to pick her room in record time. Faster then when she actually needed to move like say, when we were on the run. I looked over at Chloe and Simon, I wanted them to go ahead and pick rooms first. Chloe looked exhausted and Simon looked tired too. Not as tired as CHloe though. She had small dark circles forming beneather her big blue eyes. Her eyes are so pretty... Wait what? I must be tired.

We went up the stairs to pick our rooms. I picked one near Simon and Chloe picked on at the end of the hall closer to Toris.

I walked into my room and looked out the one window there was in there. The woods seemed calm enough but were they really? Geez.. Even when I don't need to be on high alert I still am.

I walked over to the bed and sat down, and put my head in my hands. I heard a soft knock. Then I heard Simon say Chloe's name. Can't he just leave her alone?! Wow... where did that one come from? Then I thought I heard Chloe sigh, like she didn't want ot talk to him.

"Come in Simon.."

"Hey. It's nice to sleep in a bed again isn't it?"

"Yeah it is."

"So anyway, I came in here to ask you if you would explore the house with me sometime tomorrow? It's really old so there must be a few rooms I've never seen."

"Um...Maybe. It depends on what everyone else is doing tomorrow. Andrew might ahve something in mind.."

Did she not want to go? Of corse she did. She likes Simon and Simon likes her. But what if she doesn't? Stupid inner voice...

I must have missed the rest of the conversation because the next things I heard were Chloe's door closing and Simon walking down the hall to his room.

Oh well... I guess I should go to sleep too.

Before I did though, I had to go do something. I walked all the way down the hall past Simon's room. I stopped in front of her door. Chloe's door. I opened it without knocking caus eI didn't want to wake her up. She was asleep and she was smilling. Satisfied with what I saw, I walked back down the hall to my room.

Maybe.. Maybe I'd have a shot with Chloe if she really doesn't like him...

Like it? Hate it? Tell me what you think! It's not the best in the world, I know. But still, I appreciate the feedback! :3 (My First Fanfic so don't be too harsh!)
