A/N: Ok...I think some of my readers are confused: Stanton doesn't know that it's Serena because she has, like a mask on or something. No, like a piece of red cloth tied around her head over her nose. Only her eyes were showing. Ok? Sorry I didn't make myself clear. Now that you're all caught up, let's begin!

~ Chapter 7 ~ (Who Is She?)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Stanton hesitated to kill this girl. Why? Because somehow....she seems familiar. Like...he was thinking about Serena, but no, it can't be.
Besides, he reasoned with himself, what would Serena be doing intertwined with the Negaverse anyway? Yeah. Stanton resumed back his cool, nonchalant grin.
^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***
Raye wispered, "Let me go", hoping that she won't have to hurt Stanton.
Who are you? he asked back with his mind.
"That is none of your concern," then Raye blasted the energy that was within her hand at Stanton, knocking him off-balanced. Then she gathered up her powers, turned into a red ball of flame, and it streaked across the sky.
^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***
Stanton swore under his breath. Next time, he won't hesitate. She's a threat to the Atrox and it's alliance, the Negaverse. Next time, he will be ready.
Her name is Raye. How did he know? Easy. While "Raye" had been distracted while he was talking to her in her mind, he took a little glance around. He thought back about the blow. Clearly, she was more powerful than she looked. In fact, she may make a worthy opponent. Stanton grinnned, amused.
Again, his thoughts went back to Serena. What was wrong with him? Oh well, it wouldn't hurt to see her again. Maybe do a little snooping around. He remembered the last time he tried to read her mind. That didn't go too well. Oh well, it also wouldn't hurt to try again. He gave a satified smile and walked to where she lived. A/N: Ok, if you're confused about how in the world Stanton knew where Serena lived, HE'S STANTON REMEMBER? PRINCE OF NIGHT?) He could have been just teleport himself there, but what fun will that be?
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the almighty Stanton." a Follower stepped out in front of Stanton. He wore black jeans, a tight, black T-shirt, and he dyed his hair black. You can tell that he use to be a blond because it still showed around the edges.
"What do you want." Stanton waited for him to move. In fact this Follower amused him for he was bold. But Stanton saw fear in his eyes. It took a moment, but then he saw. This mere Follower was trying to impress the Atrox. Stanton could almost laugh.
"I saw what happened there." this Follower, Brad, was pushing it.
Stanton grinned. He could have killed Brad easily. But he didn't...yet. Brad reminded him of someone...Stanton himself, when he first started as a Follower. "What?"
Brad was smart enough to figure that what Stanton just said was a warning, daring him to go on. He knew that the Atrox's spies were watching him...to see if he was worthy. Brad had to prove himself! Besides, he went this far - too far - to turn back now.
"The little sherade with that 'girl'." Brad answered foolishly, accenting the word "girl".
Stanton reached inside his mind, strangling him. Brad struggled and fell to his knees. Let that be a lesson to never mess with the Prince of Night and he walked around him, toward his destination, leaving Brad on his knees gasping for breath.
Stanton was worried though. What if the Atrox's spies saw what happened "there"? He meant, if Brad saw him, then the Atrox must have seen him too....or not. Oh well, he wouldn't let that get to him. If the Atrox did see him, then he should have seen the little "friendly" conversation with Brad as well. Again, Stanton congraduated himself for that "oustanding" performance.
***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***^^^***
Serena was tired from that fight with Zoicite. She sat on the bed replaying images and images over and over again about the confrontation with Stanton. She still couldn't believe it. The Atrox? Allies with the Negaverse?
Serena heard a knock. Serena got up to answer the door, but first peeked at the peek-hole. What she saw took her breath away.
Stanton. Then he disappeared and reappeared behind her, inside the apartment. She whipped around and faced him.
A/N: Well, please review this chapter! ...and the next and the next and the next and the next.....as soon as I update, of course! : )
