A/Note: Hey guys! This is my first fan fic so pretty please review? Anyway enjoy :)

Chloe's POV

"Chloe are you sure you'll be alright on your own?" My mother pestered me once again. "I mean, the longest I've ever left you on your own is two days and-"

"Mum," I began, "I will be FINE."

"If you say so…" She bit her lip anxiously. "But remember, that-"

"Mum," I said calmly, "walk." I pushed her towards the door.

"Ah! My number-" I interrupted my mother again.

"Is on speed dial." I looked at her. "and I promise I will call you every day, text you in the morning, the afternoon and the night, be home no later than eight thirty, have no parties, lock all windows and doors, and make myself a decent dinner." I smiled as my mother breathed a sigh of relief. "Now go."

She gave me a warm hug. "I love you," she said as she withdrew.

"Implied," I called after her. I walked back to the kitchen to collect my bag for school.

"Oh and Chloe?"

I turned around to see my mum's head peeking through the door.

"Unless it's Paul, no boys." She blew me a kiss and I watched as the door shut. After a minute or two I heard a car door close and the sound of it driving away. I thought back to when my mum caught a certain British boy in my room, God how I was embarrassed. Looking around, I realised It was just me and an empty house. I sighed as I smelt a familiar cologne scent and shook my head. Well, it WAS an empty house.

"Couldn't keep away could you?" I turned around to face Alek Petrov. He was wearing jeans and a tight-fitting shirt with that mischievous grin spread across his face. "You know, my mum was serious about no boys."

"Well what she doesn't know," he said as he walked over to the kitchen and sat on a stool, "won't hurt her."

"We have to go to school now Alek!" I picked up my bag and began walking towards the door. When I looked back I realized he hadn't budged, but was just simply sitting there, looking at me. That's one thing I hated about him: his eyes. His piercing, gorgeous, deep brown eyes. Oh why the hell did he have to be so damn cute?

"It's a little early to be heading out to school," Alec pointed out to me, "Why don't we take we kill time?"

I rolled my eyes. Sighing in frustration, I walked back to where he was sitting, grabbed his hand, and pulled him with me towards the front door.

"Oh hand holding? Now I feel like we're getting somewhere…" I felt his hand slowing slip into the spaces in between mine. I rolled my eyes once again (I'd been doing that a lot lately, especially around him) but I couldn't but smile. His hands were warm, protecting, just like he was. What am I doing? I thought to myself, why am I acting like this? I shook the weird feeling off and closed the door, locking it before we continued down the stairs. I searched the street for Alec's Jaguar, but all I saw were two bikes leaning on a tree across the street.

"No car." He looked at me as if he read my thoughts. "We're walking today."

"So how long is your mum gone?" Alec asked me.

"I'm pretty sure you heard the whole conversation." I lifted my eyebrows and he grinned.

"Yes, I did," he answered. "But I just wanted to hear you say, 'one month' myself."

"Whatever," I retorted, "So we have training tonight don't we?"

"Yes," he replied, "but Valentina's going to time you instead of Jasmine, she says she wants to see how much you're going cmopared when we first started when you turned sixteen."

"Yay," I said happily.

"Are you seriously happy to be training?" Alec exclaimed in surpise.

I smiled. "Why wouldn't you be? It's so much fun, running on the rooftops, jumping from building to building, breathing the fresh air…." I stopped when I realized he was staring at me. "What?"

"Nothing." He was still smiling at me, a genuine smile, not like those annoying (but cute I hate to admit) smirks that were always plastered across his face. "You just looked cute, talking like that."

"Um, thanks." I felt my cheeks go red.

"And you can let go of my hand now if you want," He added.

"Huh?" I looked down to find my hand was still holding his. "Oh, nah I'll keep holding it. Makes me feel...safe."

What is up with me? I thought to myself, confused as to why I was still holding his hand. But at the same time it still felt nice. I couldn't help but smile to myself, and when I looked up from the ground to Alec's face, he still had on that genuine smile, but wider. For the rest of the walk it was silent, but not the awkward type, the comfortable type.

The School day also went very fast. When we arrived at school a few heads turned to look at us and eye brows lifted, especially those of the cheerleading squad who all had a crush on Alec. After then he said goodbye and we only occasionally glanced at each other and exchanged words, other than that we acted like strangers. Which I didn't mind really, considering the fact that the girls at our school kept on looking at me, probably hoping daggers would be sent out of their eyes and they'd stab me. Of course, that didn't include Amy, she just wanted to hear every single little detail and she'd be happy. History was a breeze and so was PE, thanks to my cat-like abilities.

**************A couple of hours later************************************

"Ready?" Jasmine walked into my room, dressed in all black.

"Yes, let's go." We opened my window and jumped onto the tree before climbing onto the roof. I could see Alec was there and I said hi shyly, think of what happened today. Then, before you know it, we were off. At first we were all moving at the same pace, but then I eventually overtook them, and gained so much speed that when I looked back a minute later I realized I couldn't see them anymore. I ran across the roofs of buildings, feeling the air that brushed past my face. With a smile and my hair going wild, I jumped off one building and landed perfectly on the next, before continuing back to my original speed. At first all I heard was the sound of my footsteps, but as I made my hearing reach its ability, I heard the light, thudding pounding of shoes that followed me, belonging to Jasmine and Alec. I couldn't help but smirk, since I was so much in front of them.

(End of POV)

Chloe King jumped on to the park bench where Valentina was sitting. She pressed the 'stop' button and looked at Chloe. "I see you're progressing quite well." She handed a water bottle to Chloe.

"Thank you," said Chloe before taking a big gulp of water. 'How much did it take me this time?'

"Four minutes and seven seconds," answered Valentina as she recorded the time in a notebook that had Chloe's previous times of the same course, 'So forty-two seconds better then the last time.'

"That's not much of an improvement considering on average my time lowers by a minute and twenty-five seconds each trial." The disappointment came through the girl's voice as she stood up and stretched.

"Yes, that is true, forty-two seconds is not a big improvement." Valentina stood up as well and put a hand on Chloe's shoulder, causing Chloe to stop what she was doing and turn to face the dark-haired women, "But forty-two seconds could be the difference between life…. And death."

Just that moment, Alek and Jasmine arrived. Puffing, Alek walked over to Chloe and said, 'Oh, we were just going easy on you Chloe."

"Oh sure sure- Hey!" Chloe watched as Alek stole the water bottle out of her hands and began sculling the liquid inside. She looked at Jasmine and although they did not say a word, they were both thinking of the same way to get revenge. Jasmine casually walked behind Alek and began whistling.

"Now!" Chloe shouted, and in a split-second Jasmine had pushed Alek from the back, causing him to stumble forward into Chloe. But following the plan, Chloe quickly took a step to the side, putting out her leg only for Alec to trip over it and fall into a puddle of water. Immediately Jasmine walked to Alec's leg and tied them tightly with that belt that was once around her waist; while Chloe proceeded to Alec and sat on his back, putting her foot down against his head and putting his arm into the painful 'chicken wing' position.

"Now give the pretty girl back her water bottle," instructed Jasmine.

Valentina couldn't help but smile at the sight of a struggling Alec. "It seems the Uniter has been taught well," said the amused leader, "I am proud of you two, especially you Jasmine, not just because, as a mother, I wanted you to be the best you could be, but also because you're not the one pinned down, Alek is."

Jasmine smiled to herself but kept focus. She had just received approval from her mother and she did not want to ruin that.

"That's hardly fair, they ganged up on me!" said a frustrated Alek.

"Forget about that," sighed Chloe, "I'd like my water bottle back now please."

"I would," began Alek, "but you seem to be enjoying yourself, sitting on me," Alek smirked but his attitude was cut short when Chloe pushed her foot down harder on to his head.

"You're right," said Chloe, "I am."

"Just give back the water bottle already Alec, you know you can't escape," said Jasmine.

"Fine." Alec attempted to move but found he couldn't. Looking at Chloe he said, "You're gonna have to get up you know."

Chloe sighed. "Fine, but try anything funny and you'll regret it."

Alec waited until Chloe had stood up, then he quickly twisted his body so that he was facing her, pulling her hands to make her fall down. But Before Chloe could lose her balance Jasmine suddenly appeared, and poured a bucket full of water onto her cousin's face.

"It's amazing what you can find in parks." said a smug Jasmine as she smirked down at Alec.

"Told you you'd regret it," reminded Chloe as she moved to the side, allowing Alec to slowly get up.

"God Damn it Jasmine I'm drenched!" snapped Alek as he examined his wet clothes.

"Nice job Jasmine," commented Chloe, who grinned at Jasmine before checking her watch. "Oh damn, sorry but I have to go home, I promised I'd be home no later than eight-thirty."

And with that the Uniter disappeared into the distance.

"Oh man, all that pain and she doesn't end up take her water bottle." Alec shook his head before seeing the look Valentina gives him. "And of course I'm leaving now to make sure she gets home safe and stays safe. Coming Jaz?"

"Actually," Valentina cut in before Jasmine could reply, "I was thinking of spending a little time with my daughter, is that alright Alec?"

"Sure, have fun!" Alec disappeared almost as fast as Chloe had around the same corner. Guess I get her all to myself, he thought to himself happily.

********************In Chloe's house**********************************

Chloe's (POV)

I opened my window and slid right in. I yawned as I picked out my pyjamas. As I was walking downstairs I turned all the lights on, proceeding to the kitchen where I put away the dishes in the dishwasher. I walked back up to my bathroom where I had a nice, long shower. As I just finished brushing my hair while I sat on my bed, I heard a noise come from downstairs. Assuming it was Alec, I laughed but walked down anyway.

"Alec?" I called out as I reached the bottom of the staircase, "Where are you?"

No reply, just complete silence. A feeling of unease swept over my body.

"Come on, this isn't funny!" I shouted, getting frustrated.

I walked around the living room a couple of times, then I circled the kitchen.

"Alec?" I whimpered. I then heard a noise in at the top of the staircase and breathed a sigh of relief. As I turned around I said, "For a second there Alec I thought-"

I felt something hit me and then it all went black...
