Third Person POV

With the Oni gone Rafael is safe at the hospital and Melissa stays with him between her rounds during her shift. The twins go home and so does Kira, while Cora and Isaac decide to stay a while in the guest bedroom of the McCall house, no one really understanding what's been happening or why and no one wanting to be alone.

After leaving Scott's house Chloe and Derek head home to the Loft where she immediately heads upstairs and starts packing a bag, leaving him to just stares at her, "Babe, what are you doing?" He asks confused.

Turning she tosses the full bag at him, "A bunch of drunk and horny teenager came into our house and trashed the place!" She snaps, annoyed. "I caught a couple of them making out on our couch for crying out loud!!" Gesturing to the old couch between the bookshelves while grabbing another bag for his stuff.

"Oh." He mutters quietly, a little grossed out, "I guess we won't be using it for a while." Before pulling his bag from her, "So I take it we're staying at the Hideout for a day or two?"

She shrugs, "Well, do you want to stay here after watching teenagers in our house?" She questions, letting him take the bag from her hands. "People broke into our house and threw a huge party!" She groans, "Right next to our bed for fuck sake so if you're gonna say that we should stay here, I'm not gonna sleep! I don't feel safe knowing that people can get into our home so easily."

Raising an eyebrow in slight shock at her outburst he drops the bag on the floor and pulls her into his arms as she hides her face against his chest and wraps her arms around his torso in an effort to calm distance. "So this has nothing to do with the attack on Scott's house?" He asks with a small smirk.

She pulls back and sighs running her fingers through her hair, "This is more about the fact that it all happened here and now this place is all messed up, it's energy is all twisted, it's going to take me days to fix and I won't feel safe here until I do." Letting out a shaky breath, trying to get rid of all the nerves she asks, "Can we just go? Please, I think we just need to get away and avoid people for a few days." She pleads desperately. "None of our vacation plans have ever worked out." He adds when he doesn't say anything.

With the added sentence he doesn't hesitate to answer, tracing his hands up and down her arms, "Yeah, you're right. Okay, let's go." He nods, giving her a kiss in an effort to help her relax before picking up both of their bags in one hand and her hand in the other, walking out with her.

By the time Derek drives them to the Hideout Chloe is asleep in the passenger seat and he looks over at her, struggling to keep his eyes open with how tired he is. "You're gonna make me carry you in, aren't you?" He asks knowingly, squeezing her hand.

"Hmm." She mumbles out with the slightest nod in her sleepy state, barely acknowledging that she even heard him.

"You're so lucky I love you." He says with a chuckle as he shakes his head stepping out of the drivers side and walks around the car to her side opening the door, unbuckling her seat belt and lifting her out of the seat.

"I know." She mumbles, fighting to hide a huge smile forming on her face, knowing he's not going to argue.

The moment he pulls her against his chest her arms wrap around his neck, telling him that she's not actually sleeping and that she's just being lazy. Even though he knows that he lays her on the bed, pressing a kiss to her forehead, "I'll get the bags and be right back." He whispers against her hair with the kiss before walking back to the car.
