Despite her urging, Steve went to Larten after the show and Darren spied on them.
Hotaru knew what she had to do.
She transformed, and appeared in front of Darren as he ran home.
"What are you?!" Darren asked. "You were at the show. You were talking to us; me and Steve."
"I was." Saturn said. "I am here to halt Destiny."
"I-I don't understand." Darren said softly. "Steve wanted to be a vampire. Mr Crepsley said he was evil."
Saturn touched his forehead. "Forget what you saw. Return to Steve's house. Comfort him. He is your friend. Do not return to the Cirque."
Darren turned and ran to find Steve.
Suddenly Saturn felt her heart clench. Mr Tiny stood there, looking furious.
"You!" He cried. "Guardian or not, you will NOT halt my plans, girl!"
Fury sped through Saturn. Girl?! She was the guardian of death and rebirth! The Guardian of Destiny!
Saturn stood up and her glaive appeared in her hand. "YOU will stop meddling in my domain, or you will feel the steel of my glaive! I could reap you in an instant, no matter what you are!"
Tiny doubled back. "Their destiny is set! You cannot stop it! Darren WILL steal the spider! The War of the Scars WILL happen! You cannot stop it! They are my sons after all!"
"We'll see about that!"
