sigh hi everyone. Sorry it took so long but so many things are just popping up and school is getting harder I rarely write anymore. I also needed a vacation cause everything is getting so…Urgh! Anyway I just got sick but hopefully by the time I submit this I'll be better. I'm typing this as I'm writing the story so it won't make you guys wait longer than you already do.

This chapter might have some answers to a few of your questions. When I'm finished writing the whole story, I'm going to be able to answer any thing you guys are confused about. I sometimes get confused myself.

I also decided to have a little contest at the end. All you guys have to do is make a cover for the story. You're not required to enter. I'm doing this at the end so you can use all the things you'll learn to make it even better.

There will be 3 different rounds.

1. Voting. I'll post them on my journal and give you guys the address so you can check them out.

2. Judging. I will get some friend of mine and the one with the best judgment wins that one.

3. My choice. It's pretty obvious. I'm going to pick which one I like best.

There are only a few rules.

1. Must have to do with the story

2. Must have H.A.W.C. title

3. Must have my name. (Either Serenity of the Moon, Serena of the Moon, Serenity or Serena.)

I think that's it. I might add more later on. When you review, please let me know if you're interested so if not than I don't have to waist my time organizing this.

Ok, enough of that. Here are some reviews and my replies.

Review by Serenity Allura

Oh my god! I love this story. I find myself checking the site strictly for this update. Please don't stop writing. You are a wonderful writer. I found the grandfather bit quite funny, but I might point out that it didn't seem to fit exactly. I believe it was because of the fact that the portion leading up to Serena being in the room with Darien, Mal, and Sessh didn't give a sense of time. To me it took her 5 minutes or less to get there. I don't know if that is what you intended. Just thought you might want to know! Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Maybe you missed it but I wrote that she wondered the halls for some time before she found herself heading for the library. Don't worry, I promise, no matter how long it takes, I will finish this story. Things are busy for me right now so my updates will take longer. I'm so glad to hear you're liking my story!

Review by peakaboo

pause uhhh...pause wow that has to be one of the best yet. But now u have me wondering if perhaps Darien is the "original" vampire and Serena was his queen. Kind of like queen of the damned only its king instead of queen and in a way lestat is Serena only she's not a vampire. But maybe I'm just out of my head. Who knows but I can't get over how original it is. So please finish the next chapter I need my fix.

Well here's the next chapter. Hope you love it! Well, you can say he's and "original" but not in the way your thinking. It's probably annoying but I just love listening to all of your different guesses! Thanks so much for the review!

Review by supergirl39

Oh boy I thought that would never happen. What took her so long? This is one of my FAVORITE stories keep writing.

I'm so glad to hear that! I know! I loved that I finally could let her let him kiss her! But things are not going to be so easy so don't think for a second they'll have a happy ending…yet.

Review by advent child

Finally! Finally she let him kiss her! YAY! Serenity, I adore you! How, how can you write so good???!!! Just please, please, make Serena realize soon that Darien really loves her; he's so cute an' all and she can be so cold... Poor Darien... Oh, I can't wait to see what happens next! Hurry with next chapter, please!

Lol, yes, poor Darien. You have no idea how bad I sometimes feel for all the things I do to them…but then I let out a squeel thinking about what I'm going to do in later chapters! Lol. I don't know how I "write so good". I just write like…well to tell the truth, it's easy for me to write from Serena's POV because I put a lot of me into her opinions and decisions. I'm just not so open about them. I'm a shy person in real life and this is how I let out my opinions and thoughts.

Update soon :)

Sorry for the long wait. Hope you like it!

Ok, incase you didn't read the top, I'm having a cover contest. If you're interested, I suggest you scroll up and read.

There will be prizes but not material. Instead, all first prize winners will get to be the first to read the first chapter of my new story. (Yes, I already have my ideas for the next few stories.)

Ok, well enough talking. Let's get on to the story!

For the rest of the night Darien seemed more…relaxed. I felt guilty when he would hold my hand and I felt even worst when I didn't try to pull away. Every time Ann saw this she would glare at me. Of course, only when Darien wasn't looking. A few minutes after we had finished eating, Amy and Zack showed up. Of course Amy wouldn't spend the night with him. I don't know Amy's view of sex but I as just glad she came back. It would be so…uncomfortable with only Darien and me in the whole house. More introductions were made and Amy and Zack were welcomed warmly. Even Ann seemed to like Zack a whole lot better than she liked me but she pretended Amy wasn't even there.

It was about midnight when I decided to let the vamps have the night to themselves. I said good night and headed back to the main lobby. I'm sure I could find any room if I started from there. Before I turned a corner I heard Darien's voice from behind me. "There's a faster way." I turned to face him and he was looking at me with a soft smile.

"Oh?"

"This way," he said gesturing to the opposite direction. I knew he was going to walk me to my room which was fine with me. I had some things to talk to him about. I started walking in that direction and didn't do or say anything when he lightly grabbed my elbow to lead me.

"So what about my powers?" I asked when we were far enough that nobody else could hear us. It was pretty for away but vamps have excellent hearing.

"What about them?" he asked calmly. Or at least pretending to be calm.

"How do you know so much about them?" He didn't even try to answer me. We just walked in silence until I sighed and said, "Fine. I know that for your own weird reason you can't tell me but at least do me a favor."

"What?"

"Teach me," I said simply.

"What?" he asked startled.

"I know you won't tell me how or what but I want you to teach me how to use them. You're the first person that rally seems to know what's going on with me."

He seemed to be taking a long time to think about it but finally, after a very long silence, he said, "We'll see."

I pouted a bit and I said the first thing that popped into my mind. "Fine. No more kisses for you."

His eyes widened in surprise before he smirked and said, "We'll see about that."

What am I doing?! "…No, we won't," I said in a serious voice. He looked over at me with concern and I answered his unasked question. "Even though Alan and I aren't…as tight as we should be, that doesn't make this any less wrong…"

"…But if things ended with Alan…," he hinted.

"You know I can't do that."

"Why not? You clearly have no feelings for him."

"…I don't know. I don't know what's been going on with me. Even though I know I should end with Alan I…I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I do know that I have to stay away from you. You do things to me that…I don't understand. One second I feel like I hate you and then the next…" He hushed me before puling me into his arms.

"Dar-"

"Shh. The only thing that's wrong with you is that you're too generous but not to yourself. To you, it doesn't seem fair to end with Alan because he…likes you and you don't." I stayed quiet and let him hug me tighter. "You're too nice," he whispered in my ear. Maybe he was right but…I don't…God, I don't even know what to think anymore.

"Later," I said as I opened the door.

"That "later" better be in a few minutes. I'm not leaving until you get in your car and drive off."

"Mina," I said with a sigh.

"You know how I feel about him," she reminded me.

"Fine, I'll be out in a few." I got out before shutting the door behind me. I walked towards Alan's apartment building at an even pace. I wasn't too thrilled to be here either. After what happened last night I'm not sure if I could face him without braking down.

"Rena!" he said with a smile on his lips when I finally made it to his apartment.

"Hey, Alan," I said with not as much enthusiasm he used. He pecked my cheek and led me inside.

"I'm guessing you're here for this?" he asked pulling out my purse from last night."

"Yeah, thanks," I said taking it. Before he complexly let go he asked, "How about Dinner one of these nights?"

"Um…sure. When?"

"Tomorrow night good for you?"

"Hmm…I think so."

"Good, see you then." He gave ma a soft peck on my lips. "Do you want to stay a while?" he asked taking my hand in his.

"Sorry, I have plans with Mina. She's waiting for me downstairs." I said honestly. Well sort of. I was going to go home, change, and meet the girls back at Raye's.

"Are you sure you can't skip?" he asked suggesting otherwise.

"I'm sorry but we had this planed for a couple of weeks," I lied. We sort of agreed on this about a couple of hours ago.

"That's too bad," he said caressing my cheek with one finger. I know he was trying to be hot but it's kind of annoying.

"But tomorrow night I'm all yours. Well, at least until ten. I still hate having to drive two hours to get home." I complained. I had the impression that he liked it when I complained about living with Darien.

"Why don't you just-" he was cut off by his phone that started ringing. "Excuse me," he said before walking over to his phone witch was only across the room. "Hello?" I heard the person on the other side say something that made Alan's eyes widen. "Y-yes," he stammered. There was a pause then the person on the other line spoke. Alan listened carefully before answering, "Yes." The other person spoke. "Yes," Alan answered again. Some more talking by the other person. "I'm planning to," Alan said switching from his one word answer. I'm guessing the person asked, "When?" because he answered, "Tomorrow." It was a mixture of confusion. It went something like this:

Other person-blah blah blah?

Alan- "Going out with friends."

Other person- blah blah blah.

Alan- "Of course."

Other person- blah blah blah blah

Alan- "Don't worry. Things should go very smoothly."

Other person- blah blah blah

Alan- Do you want me to do it tonight or tomorrow?

Other person- blah blah blah

Alan- "I'll see how things go tonight and tell you tomorrow."

Other person- blah blah

I heard a click before Alan hung up. "Sorry about that," Alan said to me.

"It's ok. I better be going anyway."

He gave me a gentle smile and said, "See you tomorrow then."

"See ya," I didn't wait for him to lead me to the door. I made sure I had my purse and walked out. When I reached the parking lot Mina, like she promised, was still there. I gave her a quick wave before looking in my bag for my keys witch I found easily. I got in my car and drove off. Mina was following me a while before her corner came up. She took it and would be home within 20 minutes while I on the other hand have to drive 2 freaking hours.

"Serena, late as usual."

"Raye, grumpy as usual," I responded to Raye's greeting with a smile. She rolled her eyes but I saw her smile. She moved out of the way so I could come in and I found everyone here already. We started doing this last year, after I joined, before Christmas and we said it was going to be a tradition now. Every year after Thanksgiving we would make our Christmas shopping list so we don't get the same things, which I doubt we would anyway, but it's still fun to share ideas.

I took a cookie as I sat down on the floor next to Lita and Raye. "Here you go," Lita said handing me a pink pen.

"Aww, why do I get pink?" Last year we each picked out a colored gel pen which we would use to write on a black piece of paper.

"Because you were so late," Raye said bored.

"Yeah, but now I have an excuse. I'd like to see you drive a two our drive two times a day. Three today."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," she said taking a cookie.

"There's still silver if you want, Serena," Amy said handing me the packet with only silver left. I traded my pink pen for the silver.

"Ok, here's our list!" Mina said pulling out a big black paper with names written already. I read the names off. Luna, Artemis, Mal, Jed, Nate, Darien, and Zack. We never told what we were getting for each other. What's the fun in that? My list is going to be a little longer this year. Let's see: Luna, Artemis, Amy, Zack, Raye, Jed, Lita, Nate, Mina, Mal, Darien, Trista, Sessh, Stacy, Michelle, Amara, and Ann. Maybe. I'll have to ask Darien what they would want. I don't know them that much but I might get to know them if they're Darien's "close friends". "I'll go first!" Mina said excitingly. I saw her take her gold pen and start writing. When she was done she let us see it. For Luna it said "a really sexy dress. (That should count as a present for Artemis too! )"

"Mina!" Raye yelled when she read that. "What's wrong with you?" she just giggled and gestured for us to keep reading. For Artemis it said "a sexy white suite I saw at the mall!" We rolled our eyes at that. It looked like Jed was going to be getting oven mitts.

When we asked her why she said, "It'll make it easier for him to hug Raye!" which caused Raye to throw a few cookies at her. Zack was getting a "surprise".

"What's that suppose to mean?" Amy asked a little afraid.

Mina just shushed her and said, "Duh, it's a surprise. I'm sure he'll show you what it is."

"I don't think I want to know," she muttered. Nate was getting some cologne that's supposed to be really good. Hmm, there has to be something to it that I don't know about.

When I asked what she was up to she simply said, "I can't buy sexy things for a married man." We all laughed which made Lita blush. It was kind of cute how Mina said that. It something that actually makes sense. Underneath Mal's name it said, "Me."

"You?" Lita asked.

"Yup, I'm finally going to let him have me." Mina smiled and I'm sure if she wasn't a vampire she would be blushing.

"You mean you two havn't-"

"Nope!" Mina interrupted before Amy could finish. I could tell that she was trying to make this a "no big deal".

"How come?" Lita asked simply.

"Well…I didn't want to rush into anything because if I did, he might get the impression that I'm easy and then he'll-"

"Ok, Mina, we get it," Raye said interrupted. Mina giggled nervously which is weird for her. This is one of Mina's kid moments. She must really like Mal for her to act like this. "Ok, my turn!" Raye said taking the paper. After writing for a few minutes she handed the paper to Amy for her to read out laud.

"Luna: a pair of pearl ear rings and matching necklace. Artemis: two tickets for a cruse ship. Jed-…um, a "punishment". What a…interesting choice." We didn't bother asking. Jed's punishment if probably for something stupid. Like forgetting to get her clothes back to her. It's pretty obvious that they have casual sex, which I guess it ok since Luna hasn't said anything about it. Not that I've heard of anyway.

Amy cleared her throat before continuing. "Mal: a watch. Nate: a telescope. Nice choice," Amy commented. Nate was obsessed with stars. He even owned a couple of the world's best planetariums. "Darien: a…tie?"

"What?" Raye asked. "It's the best thing I could think of. What can you give a guy who has everything?"

"Have you ever even seen him wear ties?" Lita asked.

"That's my point," Raye said. I guess that's true. Grandpa never mined when I gave him ties for his birthday and holidays, when I was younger. Grandpa! Oh my god, I can't believe I forgot about them! I left early in the morning to get my car and I totally forgot about them. They're probably all alone in the house!

"I got to go!" I said standing up. "I forgot and left my grandparent's all alone."

"You didn't even have a turn," Lita said trying to stop me. I took the paper from Raye and wrote the first things that popped in my mind when I thought about each guy.

"Here," I said handing them the paper and my pen. "I'll see you guys," I said as I threw open the door and left with my purse hanging over my shoulder. I'm not sure when that "later" will be. We have a break from work until the holidays are over so it'll be a while. As I got into my car, I noticed a shadow from the corner of my eye. When I turned around, I didn't find anything. It must have been my imagination.

I drove home in a hurry, trying to avoid any traffic. When I finally got home, I pushed the doors open and ran inside. It was a little past lunch but maybe they were in the dinning room. And I was right. There they were eating lunch with Trista and…My eyes wondered to the head chair and found Darien sitting there with a glass cup full of blood. That didn't surprise me. While Amy and I ate food he usually just sat there with a cup of blood. I don't know how he got blood lust the first time. I mean he has a cup three times a day! What I found surprising was that he was sitting there, actually talking to them! Oh no! Grandpa what have you said to him?

"Ceri," Darien greeted me first.

"Oh, Serena dear. Are you going to join us for lunch?" my grandma asked. I was too nervous about what they had said to Darien and Trista so I just nodded my head numbly. As soon as I sat down, I maid had brought me whatever they were eating for lunch. I didn't pay attention to what it was; I was too busy glancing between the four people around me.

"I didn't expect you to be here for lunch," Darien said calmly. "I was keeping your grandparents company."

"Why didn't you tell us you were living with such a handsome, charming, and intelligent young man?" my grandma asked. She was doing it on purpose just to complement Darien.

Darien smiled lightly and said, "I'm afraid you're overestimating me, Linda." Linda? No one calls my grandparents by their first name! Who does he think he is?

"Oh, don't be so motes, my boy," my grandpa said with a chuckle. "If only little Serena would see what she's missing with not having you being part of the family." What?! I must have looked like I was about to scream my head off because Darien spoke again.

"Oh, I wouldn't say that."

"Well, why not?" Grandpa wanted to know. "I tell you what, next time you see this Alan guy, I give you permission to take him on. I'm not a violent person but I don't like him at all. I'm pretty sure you could take him on any day." I just stared with wide eyes looking between them. I couldn't even say anything! I didn't know what to say!

"Um," I said which caused everyone to look at me. I avoided Darien's eyes and spoke to my grandparents. "Maybe you haven't noticed but Darien is a VAMPIRE. As in someone that's not human!"

"Oh, dear, in this time and age it isn't so weird for mix breeds. Mina mentioned that your other friend, Lita, was marrying a werewolf." I stilled the yell that was aching to come out of my mouth. "Besides, we're not going to live forever, you know. I want to make sure I have grandkids before I go away."

"Grandma!" I yelled with a red face.

"Oh, Serena, don't be shy. Don't you think it'd be cute to have a little Darien running around? I can see him already! He'll have Darien's dark black hair and your bright blue eyes!" I couldn't stop my blush from getting redder. I took a peak at Darien to see what he had to say about this. He had a foggy far away look in his eyes and he sort of had a sad smile on. What's that suppose to mean?

"Just make sure you marry her before you try anything," my grandpa said sternly. At this point I was sinking into my chair with my face in my hands. "What's wrong Serena? Don't tell me you're not a virgin anymore!" I fell to the floor with that last sentence. I pulled myself up and not to happy sat down with my face still beat red.

"Of course I am!" I yelled. I realized what I just said in front of Trista and the few maids who were standing around incase we needed anything. If I learned anything from movies is that maids can never keep their mouths shut. I wasn't too worried about Darien. I mean, sadly (?), he found out. I stood up and without another word headed for my room. I should have com earlier. How could I forget them here? With Darien?

"Oh, dear," I heard my grandma say. "See what you did, James?" she asked my grandpa. I heard a chair scratch the floor and made a run for it before they could catch up. As much as I love my grandparents they're sometimes so embarrassing!

I slammed my door when I finally got in my room. "That was interesting," Darin's voice said from my bed. I let out an annoyed yell and ignored him, and marched into my bathroom. You better be gone before I come out! He didn't respond but I'm sure he heard me. Thankfully, there was a towel in the bathroom so I didn't have to waist time getting one. Bad thing is that it's one of Darien's towels. I didn't really feel like taking a bath so I settled for a shower. I stood under the water and let it hit me full blast. I can't believe them! I cut my time with my friends to make sure they were ok, and they do this? 'Don't worry so much about it.' What are you still doing there? He send me a picture of him lying on my bed, with his hands behind his head and asked, 'What does it look like?' Like you're going to get hurt when I come out.

'Don't be so upset, Ceri. It's not like they said something I haven't heard already.' Like what? What did they tell you? 'Mostly how you need a "good boyfriend. Not that Alan guy that gives me weird vibes." I have to say, I agree with them.' You just don't like him. You never told me why. '…Let's just say I agree with James on the vibe thing.' Urgh, that's so creepy! 'Vibes?' No, you calling my grandparents by their first names. 'What's so weird about it? Don't they ask everyone they meet to call them by their first names?' No. They usually tell them, if they're young, to call them grandpa and grandma. 'Well-as much as it flatters me that you think of me young- maybe you haven't noticed but I'm older then they are. I laughed out laud. Of course you're not. Just to annoy him, I imagined a gray haired Darien with a cane and wrinkles and send it to him. 'Cute,' was all he said.

Ok, what else did they say? 'The usual. What your friends are usually telling you. Well except for the baby Darien thing…' What was up with the expression? 'What expression?' The far away look and the sad smile? '…What do you mean?' Oh, don't give me that. 'Give you what?' Darien! I heard him chuckle and then say, 'Just finish your shower.' Darien! No response. Darien, you bastard! Urgh, I swear you get more and more annoying each day. I finished my shower and expected him to be gone when I came out. I let out a yell and pulled the towel closer to me, when I saw him on my bed with his eyes closed.

"You sure took your sweet time getting out," he said with his eyes still close.

"What are you still doing here?" I asked looking around for my robe or something.

"This IS my house, as you've said before."

"But this is MY room."

"That happens to be in MY house." I crossed my arms and frowned, still looking for my robe. He slowly sat up and looked at me. I saw that lop-sided grin as he looked me up and down. "You've been taking care of yourself," he observed.

"Get out," I said simply. I knew it was useless. He never listens to me so why should he now? Again, he took his sweet time getting up on his feet. I noticed for the first time that my robe was on the bed. How did it get there? He saw what I was looking at and he handed it to me. He casually turned his back on me and continued talking.

"Listen, Mal and Sessh are going to start coming every few nights for some…business. Just letting you know incase you have any plans with the girls."

"In other words, you're kicking me out for those nights," I said still not in the robe. Like I was going to actually get dressed even if his back is to me.

"No, of course not. I'm just letting you know so you won't get disappointed in not being able to see me for the night."

I let out a snort and said, "Yeah right." I decided I didn't want to catch a cold so I put on the robe over the towel.

"Sadly, I'm not lying, so I won't see you a few nights," he said adding more drama to it.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Fine, whatever. If that's it, then get out."

He turned back to face me and said, "Good night, Ceri." He gave me a little smile before leaving.

"Beautiful as always," Alan commented when I got into his car. He was picking me up at Lita's.

I smiled and said, "Thanks. So where are we going?"

"Only the finest place in all of New York!" he said excitingly.

"Oh? And where would that be?" I asked curiously.

"You'll see," he said with a smile.

"Wow!"

"Like it?"

"Love it! It's so beautiful! How did you find it?"

"I have my resource." He smiled down at me and I returned the smile. I turned around in a circle to take in everything around me. This has got to be one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever been to! And trust me; I've been to a lot! I just love the atmosphere! It's a relaxing yet romantic place. Most of the light was provided by the giant chandelier in the middle and smaller ones all around. The whole place smelled like…herbs? Well, it was some type of plant or flower that smelled really good.

For once, a date with Alan was turning out ok. Until the subject of holidays came up. "Do you have any plans for them?" he asked.

"Well, my grandparents are still here, so I'm thinking that they'll be joining me for the yearly Christmas party at H.A.W.C."

"Oh," he said some what sad.

"Why don't you join me? I don't have a date." It was guilt! Guilt, ok? It was obvious he didn't have any plans. "Unless you're planning to spend Christmas with your family," I added.

"No, I'm an only child and both my parents died when I was young. The only thing I have from them is the company."

"Oh. Well then I'll be expecting you then. I'll give you the details once I get them, Ok?"

"Sure," he smiled. I returned the smile but I was thinking about what a big mistake I just made.

The next few days, a few interesting things happened. Darien wouldn't try getting near me. He acted like…well like a normal person and not himself. Sure, he still calls me Ceri but he doesn't say it with the same…emotion. The second thing is that I finally managed to build a stronger barrier and last of all, the person who broke into my apartment was captured and was being interrogated.

I looked at the man sitting on a chair in front of the table. The room was empty except for two chars and a table between them. Let's not forget the double mirror and the two men sitting across from each other.

I sat in the dark room with a few other people behind me, waiting for the red head to answer the question. His name was Rubius Crimson. He was a tall muscled man with red spiky hair and matching eyes. "Answer the question, Mr. Crimson," the man in front of him ordered. "Who are you working for? Why did you break into those houses?" I could tell Rubius was getting annoyed. If the room didn't' have a code of vampire repellent I'm sure the man that's interrogating, a.k.a Mr. Evans, wouldn't be acting so bold. He didn't have to answer for us to know the answer. It's obvious Granger sent him. Why? We have no idea.

Rubius hadn't said a word since he was brought into the room. Mr. Evans whispered something and Rubius glared before speaking for the first time. "My Master, Granger, sent me. He wanted…" Anyone could easily tell he was looking for a good lie but I guess he decided to tell the truth in the last minute. "He wanted information on Ambassadors. Since I couldn't find any type of documents or a journal, I went to the 2nd apartment where I found a large amount of note books written about the blond ghost Ambassador."

"And where are the notebooks now?"

Rubius chuckled and said, "You're not getting them back, if that's what you really want to know."

"What exactly does Mr. Granger plan to do with those notes?"

Rubius smirked and said, "That's none of your business but I'll give you a little hint. My Master is very interested in the blond one." He seemed to be thinking for a while before his eyes suddenly turned black. "Master!" He let out a painful yell and chocking noise.

"Get in there!" Mr. Evans ordered the guards. There was a scramble of guards and when I looked back at Rubius, he was on the floor and looked like he was having a seedier. He was whispering something that I didn't hear. Then his black eyes turned to the double mirror as if he was looking right at me. His body stiffened before it stopped moving but his eyes didn't move from mine. A few minutes later, Mr. Evans asked to talk to Luna and Artemis. The rest of us filed out of the room and were talking about Rubis. Amy, Raye, Mal, and Nate didn't miss the look on his face either. We weren't very deep in conversation when Darien interrupted.

"Amy, Ceri, we should get home." Amy nodded and I let out a sigh. I hate living so far. If I want to get home before midnight I have to leave just when everything is getting good. I've been living with him for a less than a month and I still haven't gotten used to it.

That night, I was making my way to Amy's room. I still wanted to talk about Rubius. It's been bugging me all the way home. I silently closed my door behind me and only took a couple of steps before I heard whispers. They were coming from Darien's office. I stiffened a bit before I remembered that he told me that Mal and Sessh would be coming over and I relaxed a bit.

I stayed still for a while before curiosity took over and I was making my way down Darien's hallway. The whispers grew louder as I got closer to the door. I leaned in a bit and tried to listen.

"So she doesn't know anything yet?" I recognized Mal's voice first.

"No, but I have a feeling that she will soon," Darien answered.

Oooh, I'm such a bad girl! lol, yes, I know you're probably going to kill me for how I ended the chapter but I have to keep you guys hooked. Just a little reminder, no one is forcing you guys to read this story so I'd rather you not read then get rude reviews. If you don't like how things are going then don't read. I'd really hate to lose readers but if you're going to be sending reviews like that I'd rather not have you're review.

Again, if you didn't read the note on the top you missed important info. I don't write these notes just for the heck of it. Its things I think you guys need to know.

One more note. If you're not a member of ASMR join and become a member of my moon family. Go to m o o n r o m a n c e . n e t (without the spaces) and into the family thread. My family has a few threads like Fantasy, Chibi ASMR (only for people 16 and under), Hopeless Romantics and other threads for just random talking. My family is slowly disappearing so if any of you are interested in being part stop by anytime. I'm usually around.
