Disclaimer: I don't own anything you've read in the Daughter of the Moon
books. They belong the Lynne Ewing ((sadly(). But Nadine, the star of hope
pendant and anything else you might come across that is foreign is "mine"
so please ask before using.
*Also, this story is supposed to take place after the ninth book. So if you haven't read all nine in the series, please don't go on! Because, I don't want to ruin anything for you!
Nadine was having a dream, she saw herself surrounded by darkness again, but a different darkness. This darkness had a peaceful nature about it. Something Nadine just couldn't explain. In her dream, she saw six other people. The five she recognized were Jimena, Vanessa, Catty, Serena, and Tianna. There was another person with them, but Nadine couldn't recognize her, though it felt like she had known her from long ago. They seemed to be having some sort of ceremony, in which Nadine was being told something, something important, but she couldn't tell what it was. Then she was being given some sort of object, but she couldn't see it, because it was glowing so brightly. Then it disappeared, and another image formed. Nadine saw herself, standing alone, and surrounded by complete darkness. Even though it was completely dark, there seemed to be images moving, and it was a sight that could scare the dead out of their slumber. But Nadine saw that her dream-form was confident and strong. It seemed like she was fighting it. And then the darkness began to surround her. And all of a sudden a distant ringing sound came to her ears. It gradually became louder, and louder, and louder, until.
Nadine woke from her haunting dream. Covered in sweat and shaking. It was then she felt a throbbing against her chest. Looking down she saw that pendant was glowing. It was formed in the shape of a star, and Nadine was always comforted by it. She always hated when the nights were cloudy for two reasons: 1) it blocked the moon out of view 2) it blocked the stars out of view. Nadine always felt a strong connection to the sky and space. She hoped to become an astronomer when she was older so she could get to know the world that surrounded theirs. Sometimes, she felt she could live forever, teaching others about space and it's ways, until it came time for someone to take her place and continue teaching.
It was at that moment that she realized that the phone was ringing. Lucky for her their answering machine wasn't connected so it could ring as long a possible. Nadine quickly reached over and answered the phone. "Hello," she said. "Hi Nadine, it's Vanessa." "Hi," said Nadine, "how'd you get my number?" "Oh," Vanessa paused, "Serena gave it to me." Odd, Nadine thought, she didn't remember telling Serena her number. It was just then that she heard the phone make a bang. It sounded like someone had dropped the phone. "Sorry," said Vanessa, "the phone slipped." "Oh," said Nadine, "that's okay." "So anyway," said Vanessa, "the girls and I just wanted to know if you wanted to come to Planet Bang with us tonight." "Sure," said Nadine, "but, I don't have any clothes." "Oh don't worry about that," said Vanessa, "my mom's a fashion designer. She has tons of clothes that we borrow all the time. So, We'll pick you up around 7:00 okay?" "Okay," said Nadine, "See ya then." She dropped the phone back on the hook and jumped off the bed. She actually had plans to go hang with others tonight. Then, the party stopped. Uh oh, she thought. What if it happens again?
See, Nadine had this gift, when ever she did something that was really passionate to her, she became sort of indisposed. She would get really into what she was doing and actually levitate a few inches off the ground! That made her think of her first date.
Flashback:
It happened when she had been eight. She had had this really major crush on a really nice guy at school. Then one day, during at an assembly, she sat next to him. They were watching a movie when a really scary part happened. At that moment she jumped and when she landed, the boy was holding her. They then kissed! Then Nadine realized that he had stopped, when she opened her eyes, she realized that she was hovering seven inches above her chair! Luckily for her she transferred schools the next week, but she never forgot that moment.
End of Flashback
Nadine considered the possibilities: 1) go to Planet Bang and risk the chance of being discovered 2) stay home and probably regret going. Yep, she was going all right, but now she had to worry about meeting the others!
At 7:00 Jimena's '87 Oldsmobile pulled up to the curb. Nadine said a quick goodbye to her mom and grabbed the key on her way out. She looked at the others, waiting for her with expectance. Well, she thought, here it goes.
