Thought I would join in with all of the fanfic, this is my first one, so please go easy on me!

I don't really know what the plot it, all I know that it's going to keep going...

discaimer: I do not own The Darkest Powers. Unfortunately...

"Clo-eeeee. Chloe! Come on, get up! We have to make a move! Kit's already got the car ready, and Derek and Simon are checking us out while we speak, so if you want to come with us, you better get a move on! NOW!"

I felt the covers being yanked from on top of me, and opened my eyes to find Tori Glaring at me. I rolled over, trying to grab hold of the covers as I did so, but with no such luck. Sighing, I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, to see Tori packing up the last of her things and storming out the room, slamming the door behind her. I wasn't the only one who didn't agree with early mornings.

Throwing the rest of the covers off me, I rolled out of bed, flinching as my feet touched the cold wooden floor. I'd forgot what Motel we were at; we'd gone through so many in a short time that I'd lost count. Kit wanted us to get as far away as possible from the destroyed Edison Group headquarters, just in case anything happened. That meant that we didn't stay in the same Motel for more than two nights, checked in with false names and left no trace of us behind, just in case. Kit believed that there are different branches of the Edison Group, and even though Dr. Davidoff was the boss, he thought that others might try to take over and re-group it. If that was so, we would be first on their hit list, and had to get away. Fast.

Shoving all thoughts of the Edison Group from my head, I moved over to my bag, and dragged on a pair of distressed looking jeans, an old T-shirt and a hoody I had 'borrowed' off Derek. Going over to the grimy mirror, I scraped a brush through my hair, and pulled it up into a loose pony tail. I was again reminded that I desperately needed to get my aunt to buy me some different hair dye.

Checking the room over one last time, I made my way down to the reception area, partly falling down the stairs in my tired state. The receptionist gave me a sour look as I tried to push a 'Pull' door, and I smiled as cheerfully as I could back at her. Outside, the cool air hit me like a wall, and I took a deep breathe of it, trying to clear my sense. I could hear Tori arguing with Simon about who was sitting where, and was too busy listening to them to realise that someone was walking up behind me, and didn't notice he was there until he snaked his arms around my waist, making me jump a foot in the air. A deep chuckle sounded behind me, and relief flooded through me.

"Do you have to sneak up all the time?" I asked, turning in his arms to face him.

"I can't help it if you jump at every little thing" Derek replied, a smirk playing on his lips. "How was your night?" he asked, before I could come back with a retort.

"Not filled with nightmares, for a change" I said, looking up to his green eyes. "Yours?"

"Mmm, the same. Waking up at every little squeak and scratch, you know?" His voice was playful, but I could tell by the dark lines under his eyes that he was telling the truth. Werewolf sense can be a bother as well a gift.

"You know, you can come and wake me up if you want...?" I stepped closer to him, and his arms tightened around my waist.

"Chloe, why would I wake you up because I can't sleep? That would just leave us both awake." He sighed, exasperated at my stupidity.

"Fine then" I mumbled, reaching up to touch his face. He softened under my touch, and his lips came down to meet mine. My hands wrapped themselves in his hair, and I reached up on to my toes to get closer to him. His hands pressed into the small of my back, and his tongue traced along my bottom lip-

"Do you really think we have time for that?"

We jumped apart as Simons amused voice drifted over to us. I turned to see Tori throwing a repulsed glance our way, and pulled my tongue at her back as she climbed into the car. I grinned sheepishly at Simon as Derek grabbed my hand, and we walked over to the car. Although it had been almost two weeks since we had destroyed the Edison group, and two weeks since Derek and I had become a couple, Simon was still getting used to it, and Tori was still amazed at how I could be attracted to Derek. I'd give up trying to make her understand, and in turn had to put up with the looks she gave me everytime she caught us kissing. She was just going to have to get used to it.
