Chapter 8
The lock on the door turned and a moment later Serena and Stanton were no longer the only ones in the bathroom.
"What's going on in here?" Jimena asked, "I thought you weren't going to come in contact with her anymore."
"You knew about him watching me? And you didn't even bother to say something? I thought we were friends Jimena, but you haven't been telling me a lot lately, so how could I have thought that?" Serena snapped, pushing away from him.
Jimena jerked as if she had been slapped. "It's for your own good. Stanton is going to betray you, Serena! What do I have to do to get you to understand that?"
"He will not!" She cried.
Stanton placed his arms around her waist. "How could I betray the one person I love?"
"You're incapable of loving. You're too full of evil." Catty hissed.
"Would you stop? Stanton loves me, not even the Atrox can take that from him! Why can't you just get over yourselves?" Serena yelled.
"I can see we can't get them to understand." Stanton said, holding out his hand.
Serena took it and they dissolved into shadow.
"NO!" Vanessa cried, trying to block their exit, but they slid through the crack in the window.
"Come on, Collin left the van running in the driveway." Jimena said, and they followed her out of the house.
Three feet away from the porch a shadow formed in front of them. A moment later Stanton stood in front of them, without Serena.
"What did you do with Serena?" Jimena asked coldly.
"I haven't seen Serena since she came here." He said, the confusion in his eyes seemed genuine, but she couldn't help being suspicious.
"Don't lie to me, I just saw you in the bathroom. You dissolved into shadow and went out the window."
"What are you talking about? After Serena came here I went to the Dungeon to see if I could find any information on Lambert's whereabouts." He said.
"Then who was in my bathroom?" Tianna asked.
