Chapter Seven
As Stanton was crouched silently and without movement in Catty's bedroom, watching Vanessa, he saw a strange thing. Vanessa was sitting there, talking to Catty, but Catty wasn't talking back. She wasn't moving or anything. Vanessa acted as if they were having a regular comversation, but Catty never responded. She was turned slightly and he wished he could see her face. He had been probing both of their minds, but got nothing, which was the worst of all. Vanessa was blocking him and so was Catty, but Catty was doing it so effectively that he couldn't even detect the block. They must have known he was there. He really wished he could see her face.
"I really wish you wouldn't tire yourself out like this, Catty," said Vanessa, "I mean, there's no use. You KNOW that you can't do it so why even try? If we need to fight the Atrox soon then we're not going to have full power. What's the use of finding out what's going to happen if you aren't well enough to do anything to fix it. We already know SOMETHING is going to happen. Can't you just let it be that way. I know that Jimena thinks we won't be able to help, so why do we even need to know anything???"
Vanessa said all of this in more or less one breath. She seemed to be doing it more to comfort herself than to speak to Catty. She never even stopped for Catty to answer questions.
Stanton scooted a little farther to the left, trying to see Catty's face. What did the Daughters think was going to happen. As far as Stanton knew they weren't planning an attack any time soon, and being the Prince of Darkness, Stanton knew everything that went on with the Atrox.
"I mean, If Serena has to fight someone alone then she has to. We CAN'T do anything. It's probably some initiation thing that Maggie's not allowed to tell us about."
And then Stanton moved forward and saw her face. In all his centuries he had only seen this one other time.
Half of her face was missing.
It wasn't cut off or anything, and there wasn't blackness...it just wasn't there. He had only seen this on one other Daughter. This wasn't possible trying to go back. Her time continuum was cut off. She couldn't go forward in time.
Wait. It registered in his brain just then. Serena had to fight alone.
What was he going to do??? Was he going to fight her??? NO!!! He didn't want to do this. He definately didn't want to be against Serena if she had to fight alone. He really didn't want to fight against her at all.
And then he knew what he had to do. Because he really didn't want to fight her. He had to find a way to leave the Atrox.
____________________________________________________________________________ _____
Stanton was facing the Atrox. Little did the Atrox know that its Prince of Darkness was about to ask to be excused. But Stanton was fully aware that he was probably going to be dead in a few minutes.
"Master."
YES, STANTON. SPEAK FREELY. YOU HAVE DONE WELL THESE PAST WEEKS.
This was so freakin hard. He really didn't want to die. He really didn't. Better to just get it over with.
"I no longer wish to call you master. I wish to leave the Atrox."
The swirling mass of shadow started to spin faster and faster, becoming bigger and bigger.
YOU WHAT????
Stanton was starting to sweat. This was not good. He didn't expect it to be good, but being here was much worse than imagining it. He had to stay strong, though.
"I wish to leave. I want to be with the Daughter Serena. I need her. And I cherish that more than I do the Atrox. And being Prince of Darkness and invitus I deserve the truth. How do I leave you and go to her?"
The black hurricane before him swelled even more, looking extremely menacing and then quickly shrank back to its normal size, suprising Stanton.
ALL RIGHT, MY PRINCE. YET YOU WILL BE SORRY. THERE IS BUT ONE WAY. YOU MUST FIGHT THE DAUGHTER SERENA. ALONE. AND YOU MUST FIGHT YOUR URGE TO FIGHT BACK. SHE MUST WIN.
Stanton would have been suspicious if everything hadn't clicked into place just then. He was going to have to fight Serena, and just as Vanessa had said, she would have to do it alone.
"I will do it. And I will no longer call you master."
