The Lost One

Chapter Eleven

CHLOE POV

I couldn't believe I was letting my children leave my sight. I knew it was for the best and I knew that Tori would take care of them while we handled things here, but I still hated the entire thing. I wanted to be going home with them. I wanted to tuck them into their beds tonight in our home, to wake them in the morning with a smile and make breakfast and spend the entire day playing outside. I wanted us to be a normal family. But I knew that wouldn't happen unless we dealt with the Cabal once and for all.

"Give me a hug." I sighed and pulled Vanson into a hug.

"Will you be home tomorrow?" He asked.

"Probably not sweetie." I sighed. "But I will call you tonight and I will call you in the morning. We will talk every day okay?"

Vanson nodded and headed over to Derek to give him a hug.

"Every day?" Sydney asked as she walked over to me. I smiled and pulled her to me, hugging her tightly.

"Every day. As many times as you want to speak to me. Aunt Tori has my cell number and she knows you and Vanson can call us ANYTIME. Okay?"

Sydney nodded but I could tell she wasn't feeling much better about everything.

"I...I..."

"What is it sweetie?"

Sydney stared down at the ground and shuffled her feet. "Just be careful..."

I took a deep breath. Like father like daughter. I hadn't spent that much time with Sydney, but the one thing I did recognize was her similarity to Derek. She may have my eyes, but that mind of hers... that was ALL Derek.

"Everything will be alright." I promised and hugged her again.

"Time to go!" Clay boomed as he came out of the house and hopped into the SUV, starting the engine.

I watched as Derek strapped Vanson in the back seat and then Sydney beside him. I was fighting back tears as Derek stepped away and closed the door.

Derek wrapped his arms around me as the black SUV made its way down the drive and turned out of sight.

"We will see them soon. And all of this will finally be over. I promise."

I nodded and sighed. "I know. I just have to keep telling myself that."

SYDNEY POV

"HEY I JUST MET YOU AND THIS IS CRAZY! BUT HERE'S MY NUMBER SO CALL ME MAYBE!"

Clay belted out the song, which might I add had been on the radio five times already. I knew he was trying to make the car trip fun but it was just boring. I felt like we had been in here forever.

I looked over at Vanson who had completely knocked out, face pressed against the window. I don't know how he was sleeping through this music. I mean, it wasn't bad... but these radio stations repeated songs constantly...

Clay turned down the stereo and looked at me in the mirror. "We're almost there. Is he still asleep?"

I nodded.

Clay laughed "Well I guess go ahead and wake him up. We will be turning onto the drive in about five minutes."

I leaned over and shook Vanson's shoulder.

He rubbed his eyes and glanced over at me groggily. "What?" He mumbled.

"We're almost there."

"Home?" He asked, looking around, a little more alert now.

I nodded. And a small smile spread across his face.

"LOOK!" He yelled a moment later, pointing out the window, at a little house nestled into the trees. A woman and a man stood on the porch. The woman was skinny and fairly tall, at least a little taller than Chloe. But she had dark short hair and dark brown eyes. The man was small, with dark hair, he looked like he could be her father. They both had similar facial features...

"AUNT TORI! GRANDPA!" Vanson was practically bouncing in his car seat. As soon as the car stopped Vanson was already undoing his belt buckle and crawling over me to get out.

I opened the door and he bounded out and ran straight over to the man and woman giving them hugs. The man lifted him up, laughing and smiling. Clay turned back to look at me from the front seat. "You alright?" He asked.

I nodded and slowly got out of the car. Time to meet some more new people...

CHLOE POV

"Whatever deal you'e made with the child can be completed another time. I'm not letting you slip away again so easily. You have a penchant for disappearing."

"But she-"

"Is powerful enough to summon you when she wishes."

I sat up in bed with a jolt. I looked over at the clock. 3 a.m. Great.

Derek lay beside me, one eye peeking open at me. "Chloe..." He mumbled.

"Sorry... I'm just nervous and reliving some moments from a long time ago..."

Derek sighed and pulled me back down and into his arms. He kissed my cheek. "If you don't want to do it we will find another way. You know I don't like it. I'd prefer if you told me to find another way. Because I will find one."

I sighed. "Derek we've been over this. I don't think there is another way. And right now... I just want to end all this. I do believe that with Jamie's help we can control this... but all I can think of is when we were 15. When I first saw that demon... the way he looked at me..." I shook my head. "But I have learned one thing. I'm no longer afraid to do what it takes to protect my family. I will do whatever I need to do. Even if it means calling up that Demi-Demon Diriel."

Derek sighed. "I figured you would say that. So all I can do now is support you and help you in any way that I can. I want to save our family too. And even though I don't like this plan AT ALL. I know you will just do it anyways so I may as well be there and be supportive..."

I laughed. "Thanks Derek."

He smirked. "No problem."

SYDNEY POV

I liked Aunt Tori.

And I really liked Kit... or grandpa, as Vanson informed me was his 'real' name and that I should call him that.

But I still couldn't get used to it... I didn't even call Chloe, mom or Derek, dad... I had gone so long without using those words I wasn't sure if I was comfortable with them yet... Aunt was easier... grandpa was alright... I was getting slowly used to it. I assumed that over time it would come easier.

When we arrived at the house last night Tori showed me to my room. She said Chloe had always had it ready for me... just in case. She also said that she was glad that I was finally going to get to see it.

It was wonderful. A little bed by the window, a bright teal bed spread with flowers. The far wall was a mural of trees, a giant black wolf howling up at the moon.

"Your Uncle Simon... mine and Derek's brother... he painted that for you..."

I ran my fingers across the wall and smiled. "It's wonderful." I whispered, turning back to Tori. "Will I get to meet Uncle Simon?"

Tori smiled. "Soon. He went out with some of the others to help your mom and dad. They will all be back soon I'm sure and we will have a big party and you can meet everyone."

Tori sat down on the foot of my bed.

"Why don't you check out your closet?" She smiled. "I wasn't sure what size you would be so I went ahead and got a little of everything, to see what you liked. What you don't like we can always take back and trade it in for what you want."

I flipped through the closet. Aunt Tori had bought a ton of clothes for me! "These are all for me? All of this?" I pointed to the room and the closet and Aunt Tori laughed.

"It is all for you. There are buckets of toys, dolls, books..." she pointed to the corner where a little chair sat with a lamp and table, a basket filled with books on one side. Across from it was an old doll house, another basket filled with dolls and other little toys.

"Wow..." I smiled and ran over to the doll house. I had had a doll house back at Mr. St. Clouds but this one...

"Do you mind if I leave you here to get settled? I need to go start dinner." I nodded and Aunt Tori rose and headed for the door.

"I'm so glad your finally here Sydney." She smiled and walked out of the room, leaving to me to my doll house.

DEREK POV

"Dad says Simon, Micah, Harper, Charlotte, and some of the others are headed out here ." I sighed as I walked into the kitchen and sat back down at the table with everyone. Jeremy nodded.

"Before they get here we need to call a meeting among the pack. Everyone here needs to know what is going on. They won't understand why a bunch of supernaturals are just driving through our land, let alone staying here. I don't want there to be any accidents..." Jeremy sighed.

"Clay, go spread the word. Meeting this afternoon in the circle."

Clay nodded and ran out the back door and in one swift motion turned into a sandy wolf and disappeared into the trees.

"Now what?" Elena asked as she bit into a bagel.

"What is the plan exactly?" Piper asked.. "I know that you are planning something Jeremy. I think its time we knew what exactly is happening."

Jeremy nodded. "We are planning something. But it will not be me who executes this plan. This time, it will be Jamie and Chloe. They are the leaders for this one."

"What?" Elena asked, looking at Chloe and Jamie. "Necros? No offense but seriously? What can they possibly do to bring down the Cabal?"

Chloe grabbed my hand and I gave it a tight squeeze.

"Don't worry Elena. They CAN do it." I smiled reassuringly over at Chloe.

"Okay... so they are running this... but what is the actual PLAN?" Elena snapped.

Chloe looked over at Jamie and Jamie smiled. "We're going to call on a demi-demon."

"A what?" Tyler hissed. "You're joking!"

"I assure you Tyler, they are not joking." Jeremy sighed. "I don't necessarily like the plan, but its the best plan we've got. It's our only option."

"But Jeremy its a DEMON!" Piper hissed.

"Look, a long time ago I freed this demon. It... it owes me. I think it will help us willingly. It's just a matter of... summoning it..." Chloe sighed.

"What do you mean?" Elena asked, hesitantly.

"Well..." Chloe started, but Jamie spoke up, "When you open that portal... to that dimension... to call upon a demon, even a demi-demon... you open the door to... others."

"Okay now I really don't like this idea." Tyler sighed, placing his head in his hands.

"Look everyone, we are sitting near one of the most powerful Necromancer's of all time. If anyone could pull this off, it would be her." Jamie smiled, looking at Chloe who turned beat red.

"Great." She muttered and slunk into her chair.

I gave her hand a tight squeeze. "She's telling the truth Chloe. You CAN do this."

Chloe looked over at me and sighed. "All I know is I sure as hell better not fail."
