Chapter Ten
Serena let her guard down for a second looking baffled. Obviously, the idea had never come to her that someone might rise above the Atrox. You could, all right, but no one had ever defeated all the Daughters in one rising and setting of the full moon. That's what had to be done. Luckily, Stanton wouldn't be tempted to try: it wasn't the full moon yet. He was just hoping that she wouldn't know that.
What? He had just hoped. How was that possible?? Oh well, a puzzle for another time.
This wasn't good. She had let her guard down. She would be suspicious of him if he didn't attack right now. How could he attack her with her guard down? He couldn't beat her, and when she wasn't even ready the magnitude of his power would blast her away. She had to attack first.
Shit! She couldn't attack first! She was a Daughter of the Moon and therefore could only attack in self-defense. He hadn't really thought this through. He had skipped half the steps in figuring out how to manipulater her and now he was paying for it.
Luckily she got over it and put her guard back up. This was the one time when he was given all the advantages and he couldn't use them. He sent a small amount of his power at her. She blocked it easily. Her face broke into a puzzled look that accentuated all of her gorgeous features.
'Stanton,' she spoke to his mind, 'what are you doing? What kind of pathetic attempt was that?'
Oh, god, he was losing it. She had seen right through that. well he was an idiot for underestimating her. She could take much more of a hit than that. He quickly judged what to do. He put on his best angry-face and hit her with enough power to make her stumble a little
Her look of puzzlement was gone and her flat, warrior mask was back on. She had taken quite a hit from that, half of herself not really expecting it. She let all of her powers fly at him. This was just perfect. Now he could pretend that she had weakened him much more than she actually had. He let his guard down except for the slightest bit. If he let it down completely she would be attacking the defenseless and she couldn't do that. She hit him full-force again and he was slammed into the ground.
There was pain shooting needles, well they were more like pick-axes, into his very bones. He hadn't taken a hit like that in hundreds of years. He almost got right back up to make her feel a thousand times worse than he did. Fortunately just then Serena ran over to him and knelt down, obviously immensly worried. She hadn't thought she could do something like that.
The total caring look on her face was almost too much to bear. She obviously still needed him as much as he needed her. She knelt over him and started to cry. It wasn't one of those silly, sobbing crys that the perfect 'damsel-in-distress' in a movie would cry. No, this was a weep that suited her perfectly. She didn't make one sound. Her chest didn't heave up and down in a dry sob, but tears just ran down her cheeks, silently, yet speaking such volumes to him that he couldn't bear it. They were like little bits of her soul falling onto his face, posing as signs of torment. This made it so much harder for him to do what he was about to do.
He grabbed her arm and swung her over his bodyonto the ground a few feet away. He couldn't just let the battle end there. She hadn't completely defeated him. And he had to have all of his powers completely gone or he would never be mortal. She stood up, with a look of anger and shock on her face. She had thought he was completley gone. She stood there, looking puzzled. Stanton suddenly realized she didn't know what to do at all.
He thought faster than he ever had before. The Atrox had said that he couldn't tell her of his plan, he just had to let her beat him. It hadn't said that he couldn't prompt a few ideas into her head.
This was going to be hard. He couldn't speak to her mind because he wasn't allowed to tell her anything. He couldn't just pull the thought from the back of her mind because she obviously hadn't thought of it herself yet. He was going to have to pull it one word at a time. He would just have to pray that she didn't attack while he was doing so. One at a time he did it, until she thought she had had an idea.
'Drain....his.....powers.....with......your....mind. You.....are.....the.....only......one......who......knows......it.....well.. ...enough....to.....do....so.
A look of enlightenment broke her mask for a split second and he saw the Serena he used to know. He put up a minor restraint as she started to pull the power out of his head. He felt himself getting weaker and weaker.
He felt the presence of an angry Atrox just as he blacked out.
