Okay, since I never got around to finishing me old fanfic, before getting
rid of the computer it was on, I've decided to just start a new one. Enjoy.

Artemis was bathing in a stream one day. While she was bathing a hunter, Actaeon, came upon her while he was out with his hunting dogs. Entranced as he was, Actaeon could not remove his eyes from the beauty before him. Being as pure of a goddess as she was, Artemis could not allow any man to look upon her naked body, not even as she was bathing. When she found out what Actaeon had done, she was extremely unhappy.
Artemis went after the hunter and proceeded to receive revenge. She turned the hunter into a stag. As a stag Actaeon was chased down by his own hunting dogs. His dogs tore his to pieces and Artemis was happy for he would not live on to tell of seeing the sacred moon goddess into her unclothed state.

Serena awoke with a start. She hadn't been sleeping too well lately as she had many things on her mind. She was wondering about Stanton and of the decision she would have to make, the one that would alter her life forever. With Vanessa now being sixteen, all of the goddesses realized just how little time they had to make that final decision.
She quickly arose from her bed, knowing that she would not get anymore sleep that night. She got her headphones and CD player and lay back down in her bed. She put the headphones on and put in her favorite CD, "Breaking the Silence" by HaleStorM. Then she picked up a spiral notebook from her nightstand as well as a pencil and started to write.
As the words flowed onto the paper, Serena felt a sudden calmness wash over her. She finished the poem that she was writing just as her favorite song, "Rose in December" came to an end. At that Serena went and sat the notebook down on her desk. She then lay back down to try and get more sleep. Within moments her eyes were shut and she was dreaming of what would come. In her dream the decision seemed so easy, but it couldn't really be that easy, could it?
When she awoke the next morning, Serena found a piece of paper lying next to her poem. In nice script someone had written, "Great use of feeling, little one. Such emotions: the fear, the confusion. It all just mesmerized me. Write some more for me, my sweet angel from afar."
Who could this be? Serena wondered to herself. It couldn't have been any of the other goddesses, this sounded too much like a guy for it to be one of them. Serena instantly believed she knew who had read her poem, and she finished getting ready so she could bolt off for school.
As she met up with the rest of the goddesses, Serena saw Stanton standing off a ways, studying her every move as he still did quite often. She walked away from her friends and went over to his hiding spot. "What were you doing in my room last night, Stanton? I told you we can't be together and I meant it. You had no right to be there last night when I was asleep."
"Serena, what do you mean? I was busy all night and had no time to sneak in your bedroom. Besides I respect your decision for us not to be together as I care deeply you and will do whatever shall please you. Now why do you automatically assume it was I, anyway? It could have been anyone…it could have been one of the other goddesses for all you know."
"I don't think so, Stanton. After what it was that I found, I know that it wasn't one of them." Serena held out the note she had found, and Stanton instantly snatched it from her hand. As he read the note a look of concern crossed his handsome face, filling his eyes with a look of horror.
"Serena, I think you should watch out. I don't know who this person is, but I don't want to risk anything. For all we know this person could be a murder…or worse."
When Stanton said those last two words, Serena became frightened, but instantly turned away so as not to show her fear to Stanton. Before she could jog back to her friends, Stanton grabbed hold of Serena and turned her to face him. "Serena, be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Serena turned from Stanton and walked to the others. She took heed to his warning, knowing that when Stanton was frightened about something, then there was definitely a reason to be scared. Walking back to the goddesses, Serena did not let on that anything out of the ordinary was happening, but when she listened to what Jimena was thinking, she instantly knew that they had already discovered that something was going on.
"Jimena, can we talk?" Serena asked, pulling her best friend off to the side. " I know you saw something, but what aren't you telling me? Why aren't you letting me know what it is that you saw? Come on, Jimena!"
"Don't worry about it right now, Serena. Just worry about your own problems," Jimena said, turning away and trying to keep Serena from reaching her thoughts. As Serena probed at Jimena's mind, the horrible feeling within her got much worse. What could be so bad that Jimena was not telling her? It's not like she was going to join the Atrox…she'd been there, done that, and personally never wished to relive that awful experience.
