A/N: Hey what's up? I hope you really enjoy this chapter! Oh and um…I changed the Pandora's Box myth just a little bit so it would fit my story but from I read, it's still the same but I just changed it so it could fit. Hope you understand!

                Serena looked at Aaron's finger tips noticing they were touching her soft tan skin without burning for the first time. Her eyes became large as she looked at him and her mind was bewildered. "How is he touching me now?" Serena was thinking to herself, but she didn't know that Aaron heard her mind. His hand moved across her cheek to hold it.

He gently whispered, "I feed from the power of the people that surrounds us. They give me the strength to touch you, but without them, not even my nail would be able to feel this soft," Aaron stepped closer to Serena. Closer than she wanted him to. "…warm skin that will be mine." Serena tried to step back but Aaron looked into her eyes, his own turning black. Aaron removed his hand from her cheek. Serena tried to look away from Aaron's eyes but he held his stare, looking into Serena's eyes. Serena felt herself slipping away, slipping away into a place so dreadful that Serena could feel the evilness stab her pure heart.

                She fell to the ground, holding up only on her knees. Stanton stepped forward, but Lena pulled him back. Stanton wanted to help Serena, but from his end, that wasn't possible at least not yet. Aaron pulled a dagger out from his jeans. The dagger had ancient Latin forged onto the blade, it's handle made out of gold. The dagger's blade reflected the moonlight against Serena's necklace (the one that protects her).

                Serena's necklace began to glow a whitish/yellow color but she didn't move. The evilness was leaving her body, but it wasn't totally gone because she could feel it deep in her soul. This was the moment Stanton had been anticipating. When his plan should work out.  Aaron bended down, balancing himself on the heels of his toes. "This will hurt a lot but don't worry, the pain won't last long." He whispered to Serena after brushing a stranded hair behind her ear. Aaron and Stanton made eye contact after he got up but it was broken after Aaron turned again to face Serena.

                Aaron pulled Serena to her feet and stood her perfectly in the middle of the triangle that was formed. Aaron held the blade in front Serena's stomach, clutching it in his hands. Just as he was about to push it into Serena, Vanessa ran into Aaron, knocking him completely off guard. As he fell off balance, the blade cut Serena's left arm. She felt something cold moving slowly but steadily up her arm. Serena fell to the ground holding her arm; she crawled as far as she could away from Aaron. Serena ended up in front of Stanton, she smiled at him.

Before Aaron could focus again, Tianna concentrated on the dagger and made it plunge into Aaron's heart. He fell, hitting the soft earth with a thud. He gasped and let out a scream that penetrated the air. He was moving his feet quickly on the ground but he was going no where. Aaron's eyes went from black then they showed fire. Stanton walked up to Aaron, leaving Serena in front of Lena.

Cassandra smiled but Deric didn't let her go. All of the goddesses was confused by the events that were taking place. Cassandra saw the puzzled looks and took it upon herself to explain what was going on. "There was evilness on that blade. Like toxic poison that could harm the person with one slit. Most like the Silvernex like to hit people with the dagger in the stomach or more of the heart. But there are times when if they just went ahead and stabbed the heart, then it was no use since there would be love and care filled within that person that the evilness wouldn't spread to the deep soul of the person. So Aaron decided to go for her stomach. Which the evil poison would spread, soon reaching her heart. The evilness would have to slowly penetrate and break down that love and care and take their places. But from the looks of it, he slashed her arm, which means the evilness will still reach her heart, but not as quickly as it would her stomach."

"What is happening to Aaron?" Catty asked after she looked back at Serena, who was still on the ground clutching her arm listening to what her fate may be. Stanton thought maybe he should explain the answer but he let Cassandra continue.

Cassandra thought of her answer before responding. "You know the tale of when Selena opened Pandora's box? That you were told a lie? Selena didn't open the box out of greed. She never touched the box. Selena went and looked at the box wanting to open it but she didn't dare. Seeing that it could take too long to manipulate Selena, the Atrox decided to go after the box's guards." Cassandra was interrupted by Jimena.

"Catty didn't ask for you to tell us the myth, she asked what was happening to Aaron!" Aaron was still laid on the ground, clenching his teeth, he stopped moving his feet but he was still alive.

Cassandra put her hand up to stop Jimena. "I know. This is all interlinked as to what will happen to Aaron. So just listen. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted." Cassandra looked at Jimena then she continued her story. "The guards thought they had everything then except for gold, fame, glory, riches. Other than that, they had everything they wanted. The Atrox came along and offered the gold and riches to one of them or them all if they opened the box. First someone said that they would open the box, but they considered that this was too good to be true, so of course, he didn't open it and the guards, including Aaron, vowed not to even touch the box. But he snuck in one night, and opened it, letting out all of the evilness we see today. Serena shortly came after him to look at Pandora 's Box, but it was open and Aaron saw her when she was there. He went and got all of the other guards and told them that she had opened the box, so she was the one to blame. Selena believed it was one of the guards, she suspected Aaron mostly because he was greedy and spoiled. Since Selena believed that he AND the guards did it, they were turned evil. Aaron soon after blaming Selena for the wrong doing, turned to the Atrox for his gold and riches but they never gave anything to him. He saw that he was deceived so he created his own group, they became the more powerful than the Atrox since they were filled with such evilness. He wanted revenge on the Atrox since because of them, he leads the life he does…or did now. Since he was filled with such evilness he can't turn good even if wants to." Cassandra paused taking a breathe then she continued.

"Aaron stole the dagger that is in him now from the highest of the Atrox and then he added his evilness as the poison, so therefore, there is a very strong wickedness on the blade. Believe it or not, the evil that is on the blade is much more evil than Aaron is. The blade isn't suppose to stab through someone evil anyway, no point right?" Cassandra didn't wait for an answer. "So he's evil already, adding what is on the blade, is too much than he can handle. Right now he's trying to fight it off but he can't. No one can." Cassandra ended her long explanation by looking at Aaron. Aaron struggled to give a small nod to Deric then he released Cassandra. Cautiously, Cassandra stepped forward beside Aaron.

"It will end now Cassy. I will end now. Kill me before it is too late, before I turn into something worse than the devil himself." With a great deal of effort, he pulled Cassandra's hand over the dagger's end. "Do it now. Please, for both of us and them. As for Serena, you can redirect the evilness that is spreading within her Stanton. Only you can do it." With what Aaron said, he closed his eyes, waiting for his death. Cassandra looked at Stanton then she looked back at Aaron. Cassandra pulled the dagger from Aaron's heart then she let it down with all the strength she could muster back into his heart, she ended it with a turn and the tear of soft muscle was heard before the whole crowd. The breath Aaron gave was a soft sigh then he was dead. Cassandra got to her. Aaron's body began to decompose and deteriorate before their very eyes. Vanessa turned her head so she wouldn't have to watch. The dagger went up in flames and was wrapped in the evilness that it carried. The flames went away, they didn't see the dagger anymore, and they didn't see Aaron's body anymore either.

The people in the crowd's eyes began to return to normal. They looked around wondering where and how they got there. The people didn't remember anything that had happened in the past hour. The crowd began to disperse, not really noticing the goddesses or Stanton, thinking that they were just part of the large crowd. Cassandra began to whisper, "And so it now ends after many years of people believing it wouldn't. Aaron did something good. He kept the evil contain within himself so it wouldn't be unleashed onto the world. He turned good after seeing that his selfishness would cost his and everyone else's life." Cassandra stood there remembering who Aaron used to be. Lena called Stanton and the goddesses over to Serena.

"I am free now. You can heal her Stanton. Nothing but love can raise this evilness from her and you're the one to do it. Good luck. I think I'll go find the guy you set me up with earlier."

"You just wanted to be free from Aaron or did you really want to be him?"

"Both, but I really wanted to be free from the evilness that he filled me with. Oh and Stanton, if Aaron can do something good, then we all know that you can turn good. You aren't as evil as he was but it took great strength to contain the evil within him but at the same time do what was right for everyone." Lena didn't say anything else, she winked at Stanton then she began to search for Joel, the man that Stanton hoped would've distracted her earlier. Mark and Deric had left with the crowd

Serena's eyes were now closed, but she was still fighting off the evil from her heart biding time with what was worse to come. Stanton looked at the goddesses, they backed up a little from Serena but not a lot of space was provided. He bent down on one knee and looked at Serena's arm. There are was a orangish/brownish line drawing it's way closer to Serena's heart.

Serena could fill the coldness creep closer but she also felt the warmth of Stanton's touch. She weakly opened her eyes and gazed into his. She could see that he was worried about her and what would happen to her. Stanton bent down lower until lips their connected, Serena felt the coldness stop but it didn't go away. The kiss became more passionate as Stanton put forth his love to Serena drawing out the evil that tried to spread through her. Serena didn't fill the sharp coldness anymore but the warmth of the love that she felt replenish her. Serena ended the kisses after turning away. Stanton helped her up and she gave him a hug. Stanton wasn't expecting the hug but he back away from it but instead he held onto her.

"I thought you couldn't love." Serena whispered to Stanton's ear.

"Neither did I." Stanton whispered back smiling and glad that he had got Serena back. Cassandra watched all of this from a distance. She walked down the sidewalk, glad that she could help out but she still wanted power in her hands.

Jimena ran over to Stanton and Serena. "Ok that's enough. Play time is over!" Every one laughed. The goddesses and Stanton took turns telling Serena what happened after she blacked out while Aaron died. After it all, Vanessa asked Serena the question that had been messing with her the time ever since Stanton said something. "Serena, why did you use physical fighting against Lena?"

Serena looked around finally remembered when she was fighting back. "I don't know. But there was something inside of me telling me to fight back but not using the power of the goddesses."

Stanton answered the question. "Aaron told your mind to tell you to do that. To see how willingly you'd give in to evilness…or fighting the way you aren't suppose to."

"Why does it matter that I was fighting? You practically tackled Aaron Vanessa!" Serena said sarcastically.

"I wasn't trying to fight him and even though Stanton wanted me to at first. I just pushed Aaron out of the way so you wouldn't be harmed." Vanessa smiled at the explanation she had given. Serena sarcastically rolled her eyes. They all left the area returning to their homes. Stanton dropped Serena off at home vowing to drop her off at home whenever she was him to himself.

"Stanton if you can love, then you can become good. It is all within your heart." Serena said quietly looking into his eyes as he held her.

"My love is only for you. I can do what I can to be good, but I have do what they-" Serena didn't want to hear anymore excuses. She touched his lips with her finger then she replaced it with a kiss. The kiss didn't last long since her dad cut some lights on near the window. They both said goodbye not knowing would their life and destiny bring next.
