Chapter 5: Cello lessons can cause problems
A/n: I'm going to try to make this chapter a lil longer due to a reviewer called silver star who said: "gosh your chapters are short but that's fine i really like your fic update soon!!" so here it is! Enjoy and please review!
"Yea.. Okay..." Jimena said.
"Well that still doesn't explain you and Collin!"
"What about it? We are just going out! It's not like we're married or anything..."
At this Collin had enough and stepped in.
"Hey Serena, this really isn't any of your business, I do have my own life, and you think I'm the overprotective one! Sheesh! Now can you two just apologize and get over it!"
Jimena and Serena stared at each other, then they both smiled and hugged each other. "Well now that that's settled and we had our nice sappy moment can we go drink our coffee?" Catty said interrupting.
They all smiled and found a table, ordered muffins and coffee and chatted for a while, then Serena looked at her watch and suddenly got up. " I almost forgot! I have cello lessons today! I gotta go! Catch ya guys later!" Stanton got up too said goodbye and said that he needed to drive her. So they climbed into Stanton's car and Stanton sped all the way to Serena's teacher's house. Serena climbed and got her cello out of the trunk. She smiled at Stanton and was about to say goodbye when he caught her eye and said "it's not safe for either of us to be alone at night, I'll wait here for you and drive you home." Serena nodded "thank you" and then a thought stuck her "if you're here waiting for me while I'm inside, you'll be alone, and I don't want that, maybe I should call Jimena to come and wait with you, or just have her take her brothers car and pick me up so you can go?" "No, it's okay, I'll be fine, I'll wait for you here, do good and do me proud" He said and kissed her, she smiled and then walked into the house, night was steadily approaching and unlike Serena Stanton did not have the protection of the moon, and was now vulnerable to the shadows. He shuddered as he saw the shadows forming. The sooner Serena came out the better. Suddenly Stanton heard noises in the shadow suddenly Morgan appeared her eyes glowing and behind Cassandra and karyl. They smiled at him. And then opened the car door. Stanton could have sworn he had locked it. They came towards him and he cringed and then.
Serena came out and there was no Stanton! She looked around and then waited for a few minutes thinking maybe he had gone to get gas, or get some food or a drink or something, but after 20 minutes of waiting she gave up and left for the bus stop but as she was walking she noticed scraps of paper and one little cut up piece had her name on it! It was from Stanton! She couldn't explain how she knew but she did! She gathered all the pieces of paper she could find then headed to the bus station to get home and call the daughters and piece them together. She walked like she owned the night, which in a way she did. That attitude made strangers stay away from her and give her no trouble, but she constantly felt the shadows watching her. She shivered just as Stanton had an hour ago. She got to the station and sat on the bench examining the papers until her bus came. She was the only person to get on. She got out her pass, showed the driver then took a seat near the front. The weather was cold so she pulled her sweatshirt a little closer. She got off at a stop about a block from her house and started walking briskly, she could still feel the shadows watching her. She got to her house in one piece, but there was an eerie silence in it. Her father wasn't home, and neither was her surf addicted brother Collin, "probably with Jimena," Serena thought, a tiny hint of bitterness in her voice. So she changed and then sat down at the kitchen table to examine the scraps of paper further. She had been examining them for an hour when she finally admit to herself that she needed help. So she got up and went to the phone, and was about to dial Jimena's number when cold hands grabbed her from the back, she glanced at her amulet and it was glowing, but not the way it did as if to say there was a whole gang of followers around. The cold hands griped Serena and turned her around..
A/n: not as long as I wanted to make it, but I'm gonna go watch t.v., I'll make the next chapter long though.
