Chapter Five: Maggie

"Excuse me. Do you know my friend Jimena?"

"Yes I do."

"I'm Mathilde. I go to school with Vanessa, Catty, Serena, Tianna, and Jimena. How well do you know them?"

"I know them very well. You can say that I am a teacher of theirs. My name is Maggie Craven."

"Hi. Can we talk someplace quietly?"

"What is wrong?"

"Vanessa, Catty, Serena, Tianna, and Jimena are in trouble. Can we go someplace to talk?"

"Of course. Follow me."

A quarter of an hour later, Maggie and Matti walked into Maggie's apartment.

"Please, have a seat, Mathilde and tell me what is going on."

"I've been dating this guy named Lucas that none of the girls liked. Tonight I was at Planet Bang and Lucas brought me into another dimension. Catty, Jimena, Serena, Tianna, and Vanessa followed me there. They used energy to make Lucas let go of me which brought me back to this dimension, but they are now stuck with Lucas in the other dimension. I could probably get back to them, but I don't know what I'm facing. I've found out some pretty weird shit tonight and I'm a bit confused."

"What have you heard tonight?"

"I was told that I am a Daughter of Pandora who was sent here to stop the Daughters of the Moon. I found out that I am a Lecta, whose parents are Followers of the Atrox and my mother is a fallen goddess."

"Do you want to hurt Jimena and the others?"

"No. I want to help them."

"Then use the gifts that you have. Paralyze Lucas' mind and bring them back here. They will know how to take care of the rest."

"Alright."

An hour later, Matti showed up back at Planet Bang. She wasn't sure what she was going to do once she got into the other dimension, but one thing was certain...she couldn't leave Jimena and the others there. She went to the dance floor, to the exact spot where Lucas had dragged her into another world.

Once she reached Lucas' energy she focused with all her will. She knew she would have to follow his energy to find the others and that was her number one priority. After focusing for a few moments, she felt the barrier between the dimensions shatter. She was back where Lucas had held her captive not long before. He wasn't in front of her, but she felt the others more strongly. She decided to follow that instead of him, in case she could locate them first.

Matti found Jimena and the others after what seemed like an eternity. They seemed to be lost in this new dimension, even though Tianna was trying to find a way to get them out of there. She ran over to them, and when she reached them they jumped.

"What are you doing back here, Matti?" asked Tianna.

"I came to get you guys and help."

"Matti, how did you get back here?" asked Jimena.

"I have gifts as well."

"What are you talking about?" asked Catty.

"Look, we don't have time...Lucas can come back at any moment."

At that exact moment Lucas materialized from the shadows. He walked over to where Tianna, Catty, Vanessa, Serena, and Jimena were. He didn't see Matti at first. When he did, a wicked smile played across his lips.

"You have returned Matti. You are very foolish. The Atrox will definitely punish you. Your father will be most displeased. Your mother as well. Followers should not turn to the light as you have."

Catty, Vanessa, Tianna, and Serena looked confused. Jimena on the other hand, looked furious.

"You mean to tell us that all this time we were trying to protect you from the Atrox, you were working for it?"

"Jimena, as soon as we get out of here I will explain everything that I found out. I promise. Calmate, por favor."

Jimena still looked angry but she let it go.

"Who said you will walk out of here, Matti? There are Regulators looking to destroy you. As for the other five, I will receive high honors for taking down the Daughters of the Moon."

"Why don't you take me on, Lucas? One on one?"

"You do not have the power to take me on Mathilde. Besides you don't know-"

At that exact moment, Matti let go of all the energy that had been building inside of her. It hit Lucas so unexpectedly that it accomplished just what she set out to do...paralyze his mind.

"Quick! I don't know how long I can keep his mind down. Maggie said you would know what to do once his mind was paralyzed!" exclaimed Matti.

Tianna, Catty, Vanessa, Serena, and Jimena leaned against each other, letting the power generate between them. When the energy between them was visible, they let it go. The energy rushed at Lucas, and the impact sent him to the floor in pain.

Seeing their opportunity, the girls grabbed hold of Tianna and Jimena grabbed Matti and brought her close. Within seconds Tianna had all six of them back at Planet Bang. When they got there, Jimena released Matti. She was angry.
