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.
