"Chloe, wake up."

"Mmmm five more minutes…"

"Come on."

I finally woke up and found myself staring into Derek's beautiful green eyes.

"What?" I practically shouted.

"Chloe you need to focus on releasing …it."

Now I was really worried. I mean I just woke up and he's telling me to focus? After a few seconds his words finally registered in my brain. Releasing…it.

"What? But I didn't-"

"Shh just focus" I could see his fear for me in his eyes.

At this point I had noticed a faint scratching and rustling sound was coming from the outside of our van.

Oh-god-oh-god-oh-god-oh-god

A small whimper escaped my lips when I saw a mangled and muddy face looking at me with pure hate through one of the vans back windows. Oh my god… I think I'm going to barf.

"I've got you Chloe," Derek whispered in my ear as he pulled me onto his lap, "but you need to release him."

I nodded my head and closed my eyes as I focused on releasing the poor soul I had shoved back into its decomposed body…

Shut up Chloe! Come on! You can do this!

I focused my entire being on releasing the spirit and after a few seconds the body dropped to the floor and the only sound was snores and deep breathing.

"Its gone Chloe" Derek murmured in my ear as I silently cried into his shirt.

After I had cried myself silly I just sat in Derek's lap and let him comfort me.

Man I love the feel of his arms around me. This combined with his soft skin, beautiful face, and for gods sake even his smell makes me feel safe and completely loved.

After a few minutes of silence I slowly lifted my head and pressed my lips to his waiting mouth.

He responded immediately by pressing my body even tighter to his. He slowly opened his mouth and ran his tongue along my bottom lip. I let out a little gasp at his sudden confidence and he used the opportunity to shove his tongue in my mouth. After a few shocked seconds I started fighting his tongue for dominance.

Oh my god did I die and go to Heaven?

"Chloe Saunders!" someone shouted.

Nope definitely not Heaven.

Yay! First chappie is done! Sooo… watcha think? Do you think its good enough to continue? I have four chappies done already but I'm not sure I want to write anymore If no one likes it so I really need to know! Thanks! :D
