"Well, we can all agree that its werewolf venom that in her" I looked up from my second plate of pancakes and saw everyone looking at me.

"I'm hungry" I tried to say, but it came out more like 'hmm hummbyy' because of the pancake still being devoured in my mouth.

"That's disgusting. Didn't your mother ever teach you to swallow before you speak?" I giggled and swallowed the rest and gave her a grin.

"That's what she said" Simon retorted and I laughed again as Kit gave him a whack on the back of his head. Everyone was in the room apart from Kate and her little girl who had home-school till 2. It felt…strange thinking about school. It felt like yesterday when all I had to worry about were exams and coursework. I doubt that school would ever be a problem for me now, considering everything that had happen. Well at least not in the mundane sense of school anyway. I'm sure that we would still learn about control and other species.

"So let's get down to business and start from the beginning shall we?" We all nodded. Marcus was in the far left corner of the kitchen, leaning there with a steaming cup of coffee. I knew it was coffee because I could smell the bitterness, sharpness of it from where I was sitting. I was sitting around the island in the middle of the kitchen, which had stalls all around it. Derek was sitting next to me, Tori and Lauren to my right and Kit and Simon to my left. Lucy was standing in the doorway, leaning against it, eyes calculating everything. I pushed the rest of my pancakes away, suddenly losing my appetite. Derek grabbed my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"So you're all apart of Genesis 2 project. Are you all considered failures?" Marcus tone took a different approach when talking about Genesis. It wasn't the friendly tone he usually took, but this one…cold and calculating.

"I am and so is Chloe. Whether or not Derek is considered a failure or just dangerous is still a mystery. I think they just want to terminate him because his werewolf. As for Simon, I think his a success. He hasn't lost control like the rest of us" Tori said to Marcus.

"So the main focus would be Chloe and Tori, correct? They didn't try to dilute your powers but enhanced them to such an extent you feel out of control correct?" Tori nodded.

"I don't feel out of control" Marcus eyes met mine. "Well, not before the visions-"

"We don't know they're visions" Derek mumbled.

"But that still can be a possibility." My eyes met his. "I can't carry on calling them 'dreams' when they're not. Visions or warnings or even a supernatural trying to cause even more chaos, I'm not sure. But they're not dreams Derek. And I'm not going to be the naïve girl who will carry on thinking they're dreams because the reality of it is too scary." I turned back to Marcus.

"Before the dreams, I never really lost control. Whatever the St Clouds did have made me too powerful." My eyes widened as I realised how big-headed I sounded. "I-I means I d-d-didn't m-m"

"Oh we all know how powerful you are Chloe, stop beating around the bush for God sake" Tori exclaimed and I narrowed my eyes at her.

"I think Tori means we all know what extent your powers at, so don't hold anything back even if it makes you sound…y'know?" That didn't make it any better but I smiled and nodded and Simon anyway.

"What extent are your powers at Chloe?" So I told him. I told him how I could raise the dead even at an early stage. That I could do it in my sleep with no control and when I woke up there would be a dead body crawling over me. How I was able to raise animals and even human corpses without little effort at all.

"A woman tried to help me while we were at Andrews. She thought I was being big headed when I said that I was stronger. That I didn't need summoning rituals or castings to be able to raise the dead. She was setting items in front so I could summon a woman. Told me to concentrate and say her name. But as soon as I did there she was." I smiled at the memory of the woman. "She was very polite and gushing how lucky she was to meet two necromancers in one day. I think it pissed Margret off that my glow was stronger than hers. I asked her to see how my glow looked after I took off my necklace" My hands went up and touched my necklace around my neck. "I did another ghost was there saying how long she had been waiting. And then there seemed to be loads of ghosts suddenly there all begging for help…and I-I didn't know what to do! They were all screaming at me to help them, how long they had been waiting a-and then Margaret put my necklace back in my hand and said she could help. She banished them with some stuff that I can't remember the name off them and they all went. All but one." My eyes went down thinking about the old man begging for my help. "There was an old man by a tree. Margaret kept advancing and he was begging saying he needed to give a message and he was waiting his turn. I never gave his family the message though. And I promised but I lost his details when we were on the run and I don't-"

"Would you like them again dear girl?" My eyes shot up and saw the old man there, across from me standing there. He looked as real as anyone else in the room.

"Chloe?" Derek whispered.

"I-I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to lose it and I was going to send it-"

"I know sweet. We all know. And I wouldn't like to bother you, not when history is in the making. I can wait if you would like, and then summon me again after?" My head was reeling about what he said about history in the making but I had made a promise to this man, and I intended to keep it. His family had suffered for too long because I couldn't send that letter.

"No, I'd like to do it now. I made a promise and I intend to keep it. Marcus do you have a paper and pen?" Marcus went in the draws and pulled out a paper and pen and then handed it to me. The ghost smiled and relayed his story to me and gave me the address to send them too.

"I send them as soon as I see a post box okay? W-would you tell me if she g-gets the message and if she finds what she's looking for?"

"Of course I will." He smiled and began to shimmer. "This is why they choose you dear girl. This is why you're going to make history and everyone will remember."

"What do you-" Before I could finish he was gone.

"Chloe?" My eyes lingered on where the man once stood. Remember? What would be the history everyone would remember?

"Sorry" My eyes met those around me and I focused on Marcus's. "I guess I was really beating myself up about losing his details and when I started thinking about him, I summoned him. At least now I can send these to his wife and she can find him." I continued on with the story and how I nearly raised the whole cemetery – "And then she said 'My God what have they done to you." They were all silent then until Simon went…

"Dun, Dun, DUUUNNN!" And a shot of laughter came from everyone, even Lucy chuckled at that.

"Is there anything else Chloe? Of where you saw the full extent of yours powers" I hesitated remembering the demi-demon. I could feel Derek's hard gaze on me. I could imagine the lecture already.

"A demi-demon" And now I could literally feel everyone's eyes pop out of their skulls. Three. Two. On-

"When on earth did you-

"You know how dangerous that is Chloe-

"Do you know how stupid that was-

"Settle down!" Kits voice ran out threw the kitchen, and surprisingly everyone did. His eyes turned to me. "We can't change what happened; it's already in the past. And I suspect she done it for a good reason. So explain how and why Chloe, even though it was dangerous" I winced as I heard that dig on the end. So I explained to them what happened when we finally escaped.

"So when Diriel came he commented on my glow to. Saying about how my glow indicated my powers, and about how powerful I must be to summon a demi-demon and what they done to me was wondrous. But the deal went unfinished. He dragged her back because she didn't answer his summoning's but I'm glad that she kept undermining me. Saying how I was only a child and that I had a weak glow – because at this time I had my necklace on. And he said to me to grow up strong and powerful. Then they were gone." Everyone was silent in the room and then Marcus let out a curse and ran his hand threw his hair. He closed his eyes and him and Kit shared a look.

"Okay so the one thing we can research into is your case study. All your files and we will try to look into that. What I can suggest Chloe is to do your research too before we start trying to control powers. The library upstairs has books on all supernaturals so while reading yours it may shed some knowledge and help you. Not only that but Rose can help you too, well when she's stable so we may need to stick to research too"

"Rose?" Marcus looked up and I think he was starting to talk to himself more than me.

"I'll explain that after this. It's…" He struggled for words "Complicated."

"I smelt another person here in the room above, why didn't you mention about her yesterday?" Derek said. I knew he was curious and not suspecting Marcus of anything, and I also know he was angry about me not telling him about the demi-demon.

"You were all exhausted and with everything going on…I thought it would be best to bring up Rose once everyone had a good night's rest" As soon as Marcus said that I yawned, my exhaustion creeping up slowly. It seemed like I was running on fumes, and being more than 48 hours since I last had a good night's rest was slowly taking its toll. "Well…not everyone" I smiled at Marcus slightly.

"Anyway, Tori describe what you feel when you get angry" And it went on like that, with Marcus asking everyone what their powers were like, the extent of them and making plans for us. The book research would commence today and training tomorrow.

"We shouldn't just focus on our powers" Tori said.

"What do you mean Tori?" Kit asked.

"Well by the sounds of it we're trying to focus on our powers. But what about our fighting skills? Fair enough I can throw a few punches but if it came down to a fight against the scientists who not only have powers but also have body guards and others, we need to know how to properly fight. Not rely on the hulking, hormonal wolf to save us every time. If these visions are true or even if we want to take down the rest of the labs and help the others, we need to learn how to fight."

"Tori's right" Tori looked at me, surprise apparent in her eyes. "When we were on the run, I didn't know anything about fighting so Derek done most of the dirty work when it came to it. We were barely making it physically because I know I was exhausted most of the time. We could not only work on our powers but work on getting fitter, on learning how to protect ourselves and others."

"You're right girls. When Kate is finished with Katherine upstairs we can make a timetable to work with"

"So I guess this is supernatural school huh? Guess this is how the x-men felt" I laughed.

"Only if I can be Jeanne" I said to him. He grinned at me.

"That's cool; I wanna be the guy that shoots ice. Derek can be beast" Derek flipped him off and Lucy and Tori laughed. Lucy came in then and sat on the stool next to Lauren.

"I don't like what your applying Harry Potter, are you saying I'm a big blue, furry thing who likes to tear people apart?" Simon started sputtering and we all laughed. "I guess your right but only wrong about one thing. Werewolf's aren't blue, at least the ones I've met" She gave him a menacing grin and Simons eyes widened. I could feel Derek chuckling next to me and I squeezed his hand. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I could tell his anger subsided for now, but he still wanted to talk to me. Most probably tonight.

"I'm glad you didn't tear Lucy up Chloe, now I can have an accomplish" Tori and Lucy grinned at each other while Simon muttered a 'great' under his breath.

"Speaking of that Tori, now we can discuss what we think happening to Chloe." Marcus started. I knew that this talk was coming, but it still didn't settle the nerves any less.

"In the hotel room, that's where it all started." I nodded. "We know about the two you've had so far. The needle being penetrated in your heart and the one were hurting Derek."

Torturing Derek.

"When anyone goes to touch your chest you start to panic. Is it because you think they're trying to hurt you?" I shake my head.

The burning. The constant burning all around my body. Fire, everything was on fire.

"Talking about it is affecting you now Chloe isn't it?" I nod

"The fire" I say to Marcus. "The constant burning. My body is on fire and I try to stop screaming because it will hurt him. I try but I'm on fire and I-I-I c-cant m-move" Derek then squeezed my hand and suddenly I was okay. I was in the kitchen and I was holding Derek's hand.

"The affect is immediate; it's like your still there and still experiencing the thoughts that were going through your head. Like its happening." Marcus looked at Kit. "We can definitely rule out the dreaming. The one solid evidence we have of this is the venom present in her veins."

"We know its werewolf venom, the signs are obvious. The territorial manner we were both in at the beginning, the speed, her strength. Hell even her appearance is changing at a rapid rate." Lucy looked at me like I was some kind of puzzle. "The only thing wrong with that hypothesis is the way that it happening. Its unlike normal venom which when it reaches the victims heart it begins to take over."

"What happens then?" I asked

"Well when the werewolf venom has reached the heart they experience the constant burning sensation that you once felt. That's the venom radiating around their body. When the venom is all around the body and finally taking over the brain, this is when their bones start to shift. They don't always complete the change though; some die and some fall unconscious and when they awake the body will wait until it feels the need to shift again. Once the shift is complete then the werewolf has been fully awakened. And they're never the same again."

"So the changes Chloe are going through are in reverse order do you mean?" Derek asked.

"In a way, but not entirely. The burning sensation you felt Chloe was most probably the venom. However, how it got to your heart when no one was in the room and simply because you had a vision is preposterous. So we can count on something very powerful and supernatural having a biggie scheme in this." Marcus continued. "Why and what for that matter we don't know, and I don't think we will know until they either show themselves, tell you when they want you to know or we'll never find out. I think it's a dead end trying to answer that question"

"The ghosts know something" This spiked Lucy and Marcus interest. I repeated what the man to them.

"Then we have a somewhat lead, but we never know how reliable or how much a ghost will let on. If you can find out any information when you see a ghost that would be great and I'll speak to Rose too. But what we need to focus on is keeping every bit of data you see in these vision things down so we can see if there's any connections or anything we can find out that will help you. The problem is the venom that was injected is making you become like a werewolf, with the looks, the sight, the speed and I bet your sense of smell and hearing have become acute too, am I correct?" I nodded "And not only that but your connection to Derek has become stronger"

"In the vision Chloe, you said you could feel his pain?" I nodded

"Is that normal?" Aunt Lauren spoke up.

"I heard myths. Stories about how some supernatural connection can go deeper than most. I have some upstairs I think, it's in the werewolf section" Marcus said.

"I listened to everything you said and the facts are all correct. As much as I don't like it, it is werewolf venom. And Chloe is showing signs but does the venom show up the way Chloe's has? Like-"

"A spider-web" Derek looked down to me. I smiled. "Or tentacles. Its how I describe it" He smiled and looked up at Marcus and Lucy.

"Not normally. When I changed someone nothing showed up apart from the bite. If was done by injection then an injection hole and a bruise would be apparent but not what Chloe has. This is why we have to search further." He continued holding Derek's gaze. Kit spoke up.

"I know your scared Derek. We all are. But until we try and research if this has ever happened before, legends anything to help Chloe we will."

"At the rate it's growing now though, without any leads and also the sudden changes…you really think that we will have enough time?" I could feel Derek's frustration growing along with his anger.

"Derek, it's the only thing we have so far. The only thing we can do. It's better than doing nothing all together okay?" Kit reasoned with him. Derek sighed and ran his spear hand through his hair.

"Kate will sort out the timetables later today while you guys rest or do some research. Tomorrow we can start for certain, and hopefully we all can have a good night's rest tonight." He smiled at me. "You all have teachers here for your powers. Physically me, Kate, Lucy and Kit can all fight so we can show you too and get something organised. With powers, Kit or I can help with Simons powers and Kate with Tori's. Derek I'm sure you've read nearly everything about werewolfs but Lucy has a wide range of experiences which may shed some light on some questions. And as for Chloe…" Marcus turned to me.

"It's entirely up to you Chloe if you would like Rose to teach you. Sometimes she has good days where her knowledge can help a great deal but sometimes…"

"Sometimes what?" Tori spoke up. A part of me wish that she would of kept quiet to allow some more time before he answered. Because a part of me knew what he would say.

"How much do you know about the necromancer's curse Chloe?"

AN:/ There you go another chapter! Thank you for all those who said 'well done' and also who have reviewed, faved and subscribed! I couldn't remember if the old man's letter was sent but it is a vital part in the story!

Hope you enjoyed,
