A/N :: I know that it seems to me that in this chapter Jimena is way out of
her personality and I'll try my best to change her in the story. In this
chapter she sounds really cheery, unlike her usual self. Sorry to all the
Jimena fans. =(
Disclaimer :: I do not own any of the characters by Lynne Ewing, yet the story is mine since I wrote it but not the series of Daughters of the Moon. Please don't copy =)
Back Again - Chapter 1
Catty woke up and sighed with contempt. It felt so good to be back in her own bed when just a couple of months before she had been trapped in another dimension. She had missed Kendra yet while there she felt a voice in her head guiding her. She knew it was her mother, her guardian angel. She loved her mother dearly. She started to rise as she glanced at her digital clock. It read 4:00. She slept back under the covers. What had woken her up at this hour? She tried to think about what she had been dreaming about. It had been so peaceful and calm, filled with joy and melodious music. Abruptly something had changed and woken her up. Her immediate thoughts were that regulators have entered her dream. She shuddered at the thought that someone like Toby could have actually entered her mind. She reassured herself that if a regulator had been in her dream it would have been a nightmare. She checked for bruises just in case. She was still wondering what had woken her up as she drifted back to sleep.
~~~~~*~~~~~
RING! RING! Catty lazily slapped her alarm clock to shut it off. She sat up and drowsily rubbed her eyes. Normally she would've gone back to bed until Kendra woke her up but she had to find Vanessa, Tianna, and Serena to tell them about her weird dream. She felt a rush of sadness as she thought about Jimena. They were still friends, yet they would never be as close as they would've. Jimena had recently turned 17 and lost all her memories about the Daughters of the Moon. None of them could share their experiences with her. Yet it would be only one more year, until they lost their memory of being goddesses, or made a transformation like Catty's mom had. Catty threw on some clothes and rushed out the door. As she approached the school she saw all the four of them standing near the big willow tree in the front of La Brea High. She had to find a way so they could talk without Jimena. Catty rushed up to the group. "Ha, Catty, you don't look like your usual self." snickered Vanessa.
"Thanks, I had to rush to school to tell you guys something IMPORTANT." Said Catty sarcastically.
Everybody's eyes widened.
"Jimena, are you going to go get your coffee? "she asked.
"Yeah chica, do you want something?" Jimena answered.
"Um, get me a blueberry muffin." Catty told her as she handed Jimena some money.
When Jimena was out of hearing range, Catty turned to the group.
"Something weird happened last night. I was sleeping, and I think I was dreaming about something peaceful and all of a sudden I woke up. Something changed the mood of my dream and I suddenly woke up around 4:00." She told them.
Serena's eyes widened.
"Oh my gosh! I woke up around 4 also. I thought it was Wally." Serena exclaimed. Wally was Serena's pet raccoon and always causing commotion in the middle of the night.
All eyes turned to Vanessa.
"Did you wake up also?" Catty asked.
Vanessa nodded and said, "I didn't check the time, but it wasn't that dark outside. I'm guessing around 4 also."
"I didn't wake up though." Tianna said.
"Are you sure?" Vanessa asked.
"I'm positive." Tianna said thoughtfully.
"What caused it?" asked Serena.
"I was thinking that it was regulators, but Mom said when regulators enter your dreams it's a nightmare that you can't wake up out of. Mine certainly wasn't like that. Besides, there were no bruises." Catty exclaimed. "But I think it might have been----"about to tell them another thought that occurred to her just then.
But she was cut off by Jimena.
"Here, Catty, there were no blueberry so I got you chocolate chip instead. Hope that's okay." Jimena said as she handed me the muffin and my change.
"Yeah, it's fine. Thanks." Catty said.
"What was so important that you had to talk about?" Jimena asked.
"Um, she was telling us about Michael and his band playing at Planet Bang tonight." Vanessa cut in while I blushed.
"So? Didn't you know that?" asked Jimena
"Yeah, but Catty didn't know, and she found out last night so she rushed to school to tell me." Vanessa explained.
"Okay, there's the bell, let's go inside." Jimena said.
As Jimena turned, Catty glanced at Vanessa and mouthed, "Thanks, I'll tell you later."
She nodded and we all headed inside to go to our different homerooms.
A/N :: It's a long, talkative chapter. I'll have chapter 2 up soon if people are interested. Please review if you read it, even if you didn't like it. I might also add a new character in, but I'm not sure, please comment on this. Thanks!
