Serena & Stanton: Forbidden Love

Chapter Seventeen

Warnings

By: bLaCk RoSe

(a/n: It's been two weeks since the 'little' incident at Planet Bang)

Serena nervously paced around her room awaiting Stanton's arrival. He said he'd be over that night because he had something important to tell her. She had no idea what it was, and the little patience she had wasn't helping at all. She sighed and plopped down on her bed and decided to catch up on her reading when all of a sudden a shadow drifted out from underneath her balcony doors. A pleased smile appeared on her face as the shadow transformed into a tall, lean figure; Stanton.


"Stanton," she smiled and rushed over to him, earning her a quick kiss on her forehead.

"I have to warn you about something," Stanton said pulling away, creating a distance between the two. Serena frowned, all the happiness that his arrival had brought up was crushed and replaced by sadness and worry.

"About what?" she sighed. Stanton looked at her as if unsure if he should go on or not. It irritated her think that Stanton only came to warn her; however, she blocked the thought from him.

"You and your friends may be in some trouble, mainly you," he said, avoiding eye contact with her. What was with him? He seemed so distant, as if he didn't care much about her or didn't want to be with her. "Dammit Serena, of course I care about you. It's just the closer I get to you, the more danger I bring to you," he sighed and sat down on the edge of her bed. He let his face fall into his hands, and she heard a long sigh escape his lips.


"What's wrong? What did you come to warn me about?" She asked taking a seat beside him. She let her arms lace around him and turn him towards her. She didn't like to see him like this. "Tell me," she whispered.

"A while back, long, long ago there was this girl- a sorceress. She was a bit obsessed with me and was some what of a stalker," Stanton began. Serena chuckled to herself at the thought of Stanton having some girl following him around; however, with his good looks it was very much possible. "She use to follow me everywhere, I was a young follower and she was a sorceress in training. She was an annoying young girl who'd talk to me all the time, but I never did tell her to leave me alone. Her father was a powerful warlock and was at that time a very powerful friend to the Atrox. It was when I finally received my immortality that I began giving her 'the cold shoulder' and I began ignoring her. Of course she was greatly saddened and ran off to tell her father, but he thought she was being childish and foolish, and in the end he thought it best for the two of us to not spend so much time together."


"What was her name?" Serena asked noticing he hadn't given her a name yet.

"Aiur," he sighed. (A/N: it's pronounced EYE-er, jus wanted to make that clear cuz my stupid fren kept pronouncing it the wrong way, lol)

"Okay so what does this have to do with your warning?" Serena asked confused.

"You see after her father thought it best for there to be some distance between us she became very depressed and… well he sent her to get some better training so that she would get her mind off of me."


"Where'd he send her to?" Serena asked. This did not relate to danger in any way, perhaps Stanton was simply overreacting.

"Another dimension," he answered.


"A what?" Serena asked perplexed.


"Another dimension," he repeated. "In the dimension she was sent to time stops, while time here on earth goes on. She's just recently returned and she's very, very powerful." Serena seemed to understand where this was going.


"Let me guess she some how found out about us, so she's naturally pissed and wants to kick my ass. Am I right?" she laughed.

"That was a really good guess, and sadly you're right," he sighed.


"Look Stanton don't worry about me, me and my friends can definitely take her on. I mean it's four to what? One," Serena shrugged. With Vanessa, Catty, Jimena, and her powers combined she was positively sure they could take on one jealous sorceress.

"You don't understand," he sighed. "She's been building her powers for hundreds and hundreds of years. I don't even think I have a chance of taking her on, and she some how- I don't know how, but she found out about us. She's not only mad at me, but at you, and this is all my fault," he sighed. He once again buried his face in his hands and let out yet another sigh.


"Stanton look at me," Serena said, and he did. "It's not your fault, I've never been happier with anyone before," she smiled. "And I'm willing to go through whatever the hell obstacles are thrown in my way to be with you-" before Serena could say more Stanton's lips were on hers. She let him kiss her and deepened the kiss while her hands found their way around his neck and pulled him closer.


"I love you," he whispered in a husky voice. "I don't know what I'd do without you."


 "I-I love you too," she smiled as she ran her fingers through his shaggy blond hair, which was a little difficult since it was currently spiked.

Before she knew what was going on she was in his lap, in his arms as he was tracing hot open-mouth kisses along her neck. She gasped at the closeness knowing they'd never gone this far before because one of them usually made up some lame excuse, so that they'd stop. However, everything felt right until she heard a cold voice.


"Stanton, so soon you've forgotten me already?" someone from behind asked. The voice was too feminine to belong to a man and a single thought popped into Serena's mind at the moment: Aiur.
