Sammy lives with her mother, Serena. She believes that her father left and her mother when she was young, but there is something hidden about her family that she wants to learn. She knows she's different from other girls her age. Well, every girl except her best friends, who also have a feeling that something is hidden in their families. Maybe it's just a teenager thing. Or is it something more?

"Mom, can you read me a story?"

The little girl asked her mom.

"Sure." Her mom paused, "but do you promise to go to sleep after that?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, alright. Get into bed."

The little girl ran to her bed and snuggled into the covers.

"Okay." Her mom began, "once there were these 5 teenagers who each had a special power. One could go back in time, the other could turn invisible. One could read minds, one could see the future, and the last one could move things with her mind."

"That's so cool! I wish I could do that!" The little girl interrupted.

Her mom just smiled and continued, "They all had to protect the world from the evil Atrox and keep hope in everyone's hearts."

"That's gotta be hard to do." The little girl said.

"Then one of the girls fell in love with the enemy."

"Wow!" The girl muttered.

"Yeah. Wow." Her mom repeated. "But he was very handsome. He had blonde hair and stunning blue eyes. The boy fell in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her, despite that he was ordered to destroy her."

"What did he do?" The girl asked.

"What the two did was go behind everyone's backs. Including the girl's friends"

"Why did she do that?" The girl asked shocked. "I thought she was the good girl. And good girls never pick boys over their friends."

Her mom just smiled wearily. "Well, her friends didn't like him. They knew that she was in love with him. She was in love the moment her green eyes met his blue eyes. But they thought he was using her. They found out they were going out, and every time he was with her, they gave him all these dirty looks."

"I would too. They shouldn't have lied." The girl huffed.

Her mom frowned slightly, but continued altogether.

"The girl was kidnapped and was about to be converted to the dark side against her will-"

"Was it her boyfriend?"

Her mom shook her head, "No. It was another follower of the dark. Her boyfriend didn't want to hurt her. He loved her with all his heart. He wasn't evil. He was evil against his will. He was kidnapped by the Atrox when he was only about your age."

"What!? It's not nice to little kids?"

Her mom shook her head slowly. "But by the time that he needed to save the girl, he was human again. Her friends and her saved him, but now he had no way to save her, or even get to her."

"Oh no!"

"So, the only way to save her, was to willingly go back to the Atrox. There was no other way."

"Did he save her?"

Her mom nodded her head. "Just in the nick of time too."

"Did they kiss and lived happily ever after?"

Her mom shook her head, making the girl's face turn to a grimace, "But he saved her life!"

"Yes, he did. But the girl was being stupid. She thought he went back to the dark for his own gain. She didn't know that it was to save her. She wouldn't listen to him when he tried to tell her he loved her."

"That's so sad!"

"But when the girl was possessed, she tried jumping off a building. Sure that her friend could catch her while she was invisible."

"Did she?"

Her mom shook her head, "She was going down way too fast."

"Did she die?"

"No. Her boyfriend caught her."

"He came back for her?" The girl asked, jumping on her bed.

"Yes. He still loved her. He wanted to live with her forever."

"And ever?" Her daughter asked.

"And ever." Her mom repeated. "But this time, the girl listened to him. She knew he loved her. And she knew that she loved him. And this time they both kissed and lived happily ever after."

The girl jumped excitedly, "They did?"

Her mom nodded her head, "But you promised me that you'd go to sleep." She stood and walked to the door. When she was about to flick the light switch off, her daughter spoke up.

"I love that story."

Her mom's bright green eyes stared at her daughter's chocolate brown ones. "Me too honey, me too."
