Chapter Nine
Stanton creeped ever so carefully through the shadows, trying to think where his beloved would be this time of night if she wasn't in her room. He sped through the shadows trying to find her as he diligently searched for any flaws in his plan. He couldn't risk one of the other Daughters coming to her rescue.
He searched and searched but he couldn't find a flaw or Serena. He checked where she had her cello lessons, he checked all over the school, and then he thought of something. He couldn't believe how stupid he'd been! He'd gone over every step so perfectly but he hadn't thought of the obvious place where she'd be. Selene and fate wouldn't let her have a battle like this in her jeans and a T-shirt. And it was Thursday night. She was at Planet Bang.
Oh, but that messed up everything!!!!!! She would be there with all the other Daughters, well, except Catty. He could still take care of that. But there was no way Serena was going to miss Vanessa going to battle. Vanessa AND Micheal would both be on stage. Serena would have to be the worst Goddess in history to miss that. And she certainly wasn't the worst Goddess in history. He would have to have the guys kidnapped before they went on stage. It was 8:55! That only gave him five minutes and that was stretching it even for a shadow shifter. And he would have to call in his men to capture them. It was going to be harder to get to her than to let her win.
He dived into the first shadow that came into his view and melted into it as quickly as he possibly could. He raced his shadow as fast as was possible, not even thinking about the exhilerating feeling it gave him. Even as he was going he opened his mind to the Followers he had picked: Cassandra, Timmy, Kyle, and Bryan. He gave them their orders just as he slammed into the ground at the back of Planet Bang. He usuallly glided to a stop over the surface, but tonight was different, he was in too much of a hurry to be graceful.
He frantically searched with his eyes around the crowded dance floor, knowing he only had a few more seconds before she knew that her friends were in danger, or she realized that a Follower was nearby. His eyes scanned over couples making out in the corners, and guys with their underwear showing and girls with half of their boobs showing.
And then he saw her. For that moment all his worries left him. He was looking at a litteral Goddess. She looked the part. Her hair was in gentle waves that shone softly in the strobe lights. It wasn't a harsh shine, but looked as if it was lit by candle-light. And she was wearing a red leather, strapless mini dress that showed off the golden glow of her skin, as well as her luscious curves. And somehow she'd gotten a golden henna tatoo that only slightly differed from her own luminescent skin that snaked up her left leg like a flowered vine. All of that was lovely, but what drew you in was her face. Her high cheekbones that made her look like royalty, and she was of a sort. Her firm chin that hinted at the stubbornness that she possessed somewhere inside that beautiful body. She had a small, yet distinctive nose, that had a small bump in the center, as if it had been broken once. This made her look at least a little less inhumaly gorgeous and hinted that she had an actual personality under all of that exquisite woman. She had full and supple lips, that he knew very, very well. But even the rest of her face was overshadowed by the deep, entrancing pools that were her eyes. They had long, dark, rich lashes, that framed them with a dramatic flare. They had a beautiful brown that was almost gold. And it always felt as if you were bein drawn into them, as if she could see everthing inside of you. She could but that wasn't the point.
He was only broken from his trance when her amulet started to glow. He was back to business. He knew if he didn't strike right now he never would. He jammed into her thoughts and pulled out one action. Sleep. She collapsed on the floor and Stanton thanked the Atrox, well no he didn't thank the Atrox because he was finished with it, but he was so thankful that was in Planet Bang, where no one even noticed. People passed out frequently here. At least four a night. Just then a guy named Alan the Beanweed dropped dead on the floor for no apparent reason. (tada lesl)
He ran and grabbed her, about to carry her outside. He almost dropped her for the wonderful tingling that shot up his spine the second he touched her, but he managed to get her in the alleyway. He jumped into the shadows with her in tow and went to a place where he couldn't win: her own back yard. He laid her down gently on the grass and tenderly began to pull consciousness into her mind.
She slowly and drowsily opened her eyes. She looked confused for a second and then her eyes found Stanton. His heart leaped because when she first saw him she smiled dreamily. But that feeling quickly vacated with her smile. She sprang to her feet, ready to fight.
"What are you doing here, Stanton?" she asked, with a tremor in her voice. "Why don't you just leave my life alone? And why aren't I in Planet Bang?"
Stanton sighed internally and began to recite the speech he had thought of to give her at this moment. He couldn't let her guess his real reason for bringing her here, because then she wouldn't fight.
"Serena," he said, "you forced me to leave the Atrox before. Fortunately I made my way back without a scratch. But Prince of Darkness isn't good enough for me. I want to be the king. The only way I can become greater is to become the ruler of the Atrox itself. I can only do that by killing all of the Daughters, one at a time. I've decided to start with you, Serena. Prepare to die."
