Chapter 6

Twins? How can they be twins?

"You're lying daddy!" Candace yelled.

"We ain't twins! We don't even look alike!"

"Well, actually, "Sammy began, "Twins don't even need to be identical. There are some cases that they look completely different. They are called fraternal twins."

Candace stared at her for at least a minute, "Daddy. I can't be her sister. She's too... brainy."

Sammy put her hands on her hips, "And what's wrong with being brainy? At least I know how to speak proper English."

"At least I can speak proper English." Candace mocked in a high pitch voice.

"You are a princess." She said, a look of disgust on her face.

"That's enough!" Serena yelled. She was out of Stanton's arms. Her face angry.

"You are sisters. And now that you have met, we need some serious talking!"

Stanton's eyes were widened a little, "Wow." Escaped his lips.

Serena turned back to him.

"Are you really married?" She asked.

Stanton's face looked confused, "Of course I am. I married you."

"Just checking." Serena said, "So where can we talk?"

"We can talk in my room." Stanton suggested.

"No. I mean all of us. I really have talking on my mind. I didn't come here to sleep with you." Serena said. Stanton's face showed disappointment, but he showed them all to the living room.

Candace and Sammy were forced to sit on the same couch.

"Ok. There's something we need to tell you." Serena said.

Sammy and Candace looked at each other. Whenever Serena needs to sow her something, it was always.

"Sammy. As you know, you figured out everything about your friends. How you're different from everyone else."

Sammy nodded her head.

"Candace. I know you know partially."

"Is this about the Atrox?"

Serena nodded her head.

"I already know everything. We're all followers of the Atrox."

Serena turned to Stanton, "What have been telling her?"

"I didn't tell her anything."

Serena turned back to Candace. "You're wrong."

Candace stood up in anger, "I'm not wrong! If I was, then explain to me why we live in Nefandus!"

"Nefandus? What's that?" Sammy asked.

"It's where we are right now idiot." Candace insulted.

"Don't call me an idiot!" Sammy said.

"Sammy. Sit down!" Serena yelled.

Sammy fell on the couch in anger, her arms tightly across her chest.

"Candace. The reason why you guys live here, is because your father is a follower."

"Prince of the Night actually." Candace said proudly.

"Right. Prince of the Night." Serena repeated, "Meaning, he's still a follower."

"And mom is a Goddess." Sammy said.

"No way!" Candace said one more time, "If your a Daughter of the Moon, why are you here? They would be banging down the door and dragging you away!"

"Daughter of the Moon?" Sammy squeaked.

Everyone ignored her.

"I'm not a Daughter of the Moon anymore." Serena said calmly.

"Then-?"

"I'm the Dark Goddess."

Candace's eyes widened.

"Hold on a minute!" Sammy yelled.

They looked at her. "You're not even a good Goddess? I thought you were the ones fighting evil and keeping hope alive and yada yada yada."

"I was." Serena nodded.

"Then why are you all of a sudden the 'Dark' Goddess."

Serena sighed, "I have to explain the whole thing to you ."

"Explain what to me?"

Serena sighed once again, "Okay. You know the myth about Pandora?"

"Yes. And you told me the last thing to leave the box was hope. However, only the Goddess Selene, the Goddess of the Moon was the only one to see the monster that was released by the Atrox to destroy hope and leave humans in misery and deception."

Stanton lookd at Serena, "You sure didn't bother telling her the shortened story."

Serena smiled and turned back to Sammy.

"And what did I tell you about the Daughters of the Moon?"

Sammy thought awhile, "In the bedtime stories?"

Before Serena answered, Candace burst out laughing.

"Fairy tales? Are you serious? That's the only reason you know about the Daughters of the Moon?"

Sammy turned to Candace and grimaced.

"Well, Sammy. Remember every single story I told you?"

Sammy nodded. "I'll never forget them."

"What do you remember?" Serena asked.

Sammy thought back, "Well, there were 5 teenagers. Eack had a different power. One of them could read minds, one can turn invisible, one can move thiings with her mind, one could see the future, and one can travel in time."

Sammy gasp.

"Serena, Vanessa, Tianna, and Jimena!"

Serena nodded her head. Sammy tilted her head, "but who could time travel?"

Serena looked down, and whispered, "Catty."

"What happened to Catty?" Sammy and Candace both asked. They looked at each other, and then turned their heads back.

Stanton patted Serena on her hands, urging her to continue for their children.

"She com-completed her fate." Serena stuttered, "she disappeared."
