If I owned the Daughters of the Moon series, then they probably wouldn't be
in print. And, I wouldn't be writing a FAN fiction. So don't sue me.

Serena walked out of the auditorium, heading towards the café where she was meeting Vanessa, Catty, Jimena and Tianna. She wandered down the sidewalk, keeping her mind-radar out, searching for the mysterious stranger. She was intrigued by him. She still loved Stanton, but this was different. She felt, for some strange reason, close to this guy, but not in a romantic way. As she rounded a corner, she felt a presence again, although it wasn't the same one. It was a different person altogether, but there was something similar about the two men. Serena searched this mind as well, but found certain passageways blocked. She finally just settled for a picture of the guy and personal information.

'That's kinda freaky,' Tianna whispered.
Serena had just finished telling them about what had happened. They were in the farthest corner of the café, away from inquisitorial ears. The girls were all staring at Serena, waiting for a possible explanation. When Serena offered none, they started searching for answers to their new potential problem.
'Maybe we should go see Maggie,' Vanessa offered.
'I already thought of that, but she doesn't get back from her conference thingy until Saturday,' Serena reminded her.
'Oh, right.'
'Well, there's always the possibility that these guys are just hot guys who are hot for Serena,' Catty prompted hopefully.
'I don't think so,' responded Serena, 'One of these guys knew how to close off parts of his mind while leaving entire sections wide open. Only someone with the ability to mind read can do that. Otherwise, the mind is either completely open, or completely closed. The other guy might be a regular guy, but, well, they both had this. . . I don't know; they were so different, yet so similar. Kind of like. . . well, like us I guess,' Serena tried to explain. However, explaining something that you yourself don't understand can be difficult.
'Well, what did the second guy look like? You told us about the first one, but not the second,' Jimena asked.
'Well, he was about the same height as the other guy, but his torso was larger. He definitely seemed like a surfer. And he had gorgeous green eyes and he had kind of dark-brownish eyes with sun streaked highlights. Come to think of it, he was kinda cute. . .,' Serena told them.
'Come to think of it? How could you not notice at first glane? That is not like you at all,' Vanessa said. 'Well, actually, it's not like any of us.' She let a grin slip onto her face.
'Vanessa is right. I mean, we can all tell if a guy is hot, whether our thoughts are crowded with thoughts of other guys or not,' Catty interjected. 'I'm still hung up on Chris,' Catty said with a blush creeping up onto her face, 'but I still walk down the street and notice all the hot guys.'
'Yeah, I know what you mean, but for some reason, this is different. It's kind of like with, well, with Collin. I know he's good looking, but I don't really notice it,' Serena answered.
'Good looking? Your brother is hot,' Jimena smiled at Serena. Jimena was dating Collin, so she wasn't afraid to say it out loud.
'Wait, so your saying you feel towards these guys like you do to your brother?' Tianna asked Serena.
'Yeah. Kinda. But I've never met them before. How can that be? I'm so confused,' Serena moaned and put her head on the table, slamming it on a little harder then she had meant to. 'Ow.'
'Oh well. I guess we'll figure this out later. We've got a party to get ready for,' Catty reminded them.
'Oh, right,' Serena said. 'Are we raiding your mom's closet again?' She asked Vanessa.
'When do we not?' Vanessa asked happily as they all put their money down on the table and left, heading for Vanessa's house.

The next Monday, four new boys transferred to La Brea High. They all seemed to know each other and be good friends, and they were all hot. As they walked down the hall talking and joking with each other, the girls almost all turned their heads and watched them walk away, checking them all out. The guys either didn't notice or didn't care, as they continued to walk nonchalant. As they came around to where Vanessa, Catty, Jimena, Serena and Tianna were, Serena gasped. Two of the four were the guys she had seen on Saturday.
As the other girls heard Serena gasp, they immediately knew that these where the guys. And it wasn't just because Serena had gasped. They finally understood what Serena had been telling them. They could tell that the boys were attractive, but they weren't drawn to them. And it wasn't just because they each had their own guys.
Then, they were surprised that the boys started walking over to them. The two that Serena hadn't seen before were also alluring. One was African American and he had a gorgeous smile that lit up his face, brown eyes and really short black hair. The other one was dressed in all black and had a brooding face on with slicked back bleached hair. He had brown eyes as well, and was about the same height as the rest of them.
'Hey, my name is Sean,' the African American one said. 'This is Tyson,' he said pointing to the first one Serena had seen, 'Drew,' the second one Serena had seen, 'and James,' and said pointing to the brooding one.
'Hi,' the girls all said uncertainly.
'Hi,' the boys answered back, a little more sure of themselves.
'Your name is "James"?' Catty asked.
'Yeah, and what of it?' the guy asked in a British accent.
'Um, nothing. It's just that, well, you don't look like a James,' Catty responded.
'We call him that because he hates it. It's his real name but he prefers to be called Proteus,' Drew explained.
'Now that's more like it,' Catty replied, 'Greek names rock!'
'Any particular reason you chose that name?' Serena questioned.
'Well, um, yeah, but it's a long story,' Proteus answered a little too quickly.
'Oh, ok. I was just wondering since that's the name of a prophetic Greek god of the sea,' Serena responded, 'He was Poseidon's son, and in charge of the shifting winds and moods of the sea.'
'Yeah, I know the bloody story,' Proteus replied.
'Right. Well, um, I suppose you four are new here. I'm Vanessa, this is Catty, Serena, Jimena and Tianna,' Vanessa said reaching out her hand. The boys shook it and the other girls followed suit and soon they were all acquainted.
'So, um, is there any particular reason you decided to come over and talk to us?' Serena asked.
'Yup,' Drew answered, grinning a dazzling smile. A group of girls walking by burst into giggles and hurried whispers.
'And that reason would be what?' Jimena enquired.
'We really shouldn't discuss this here, out in the open,' Tyson responded, glancing around at the masses of girls circling around them, throwing jealous glances at the five girls and leaning forward trying to hear what was going on.
'Yeah, Tyson here is right. Meet us at Catty's bookstore,' Sean added.
'How do you know about that?' Catty asked, becoming a little worried.
'Lets just say we're not attracted to you either,' Proteus practically whispered.
'What's that supposed to mean?' Tianna asked, feeling dissed. Not many people said something like that to them.
'Come on Tianna, you know what they mean,' Serena said to Tianna.
'Alright, well, we'll see ya there,' Drew said, starting to walk away. The rest of the boys started to walk away with them, just as Michael and Derek came up, looking a little protective.
'Who are those guys?' Michael asked, a hint of jealousy in their voices.
'No clue,' Catty answered him, 'But I'm sure we're going to find out this afternoon.'
The boys gave them weird looks as the bell rang and they all rushed off to their classes, not wishing to be late.

A/N: Ahh, so they're not evil. Or are they? Hmmmm. Made ya think ;-). Alright, review porfavor. And I'll write more. Oh, and I just finished the 9th book, so for those of you who haven't read it, I'm not gonna ruin it, but I'm just saying that this is before the 9th book. Ok, adios!
