Lain was sitting up in a tree, resting her eyes. It was a Saturday night and the moon was no where to be seen. The light her moon amulet was releasing began to bother her eyes, so she tucked it into her black shirt. Lain found out she was a goddess when she was only ten years old. But apparently Selene wasn't the only one to bless her with power. The dark goddess Hekate also gave her strength. Which is why she also wore one of Hekate's blue and gold amulets, just like the goddess Serena. The spirit of the tree was trying to warn her about something. One of her powers was that she could hear things from far away. She even heard things that others couldn't hear, like spirits. She didn't pay much attention to spirit, she already knew who was coming. The night began to stir and Stanton appeared from darkness.
"I've been looking for you" his voice whispered through my mind.
Lain jumped out of the tree and smirked at Stanton. He greeted her with a sensual smile, which she was immune from by now. Stanton walked toward her, his eyes staring deep into hers. He stopped when their bodies were an inch apart and slid his hand up Lain's sleeve. She backed away and glared at him. Stanton knew better than to act like that, but he couldn't resist teasing her.
"How did you know I came back from Europe?" Lain asked.
"A feeling." Stanton said simply
For the past summer Lain had been in Europe with her uncle. Mainly because she couldn't handle her aunt's complaints.
"Why haven't you been coming to the Dungeon?" Stanton asked.
Lain always loved going to the Dungeon. It's hard-core techno was always soothing to listen to, even with her great hearing. But lately she's been wanting some time to herself. Stanton must have read her thoughts because he nodded in an understanding way.
"I was thinking about going tomorrow" Lain told him.
"I'll see you there then" He said and started to walk away.
"Is Serena going to be there?" she asked him
"Tomorrow is the crescent moon. Serena will be with her friends at Planet Bang" Stanton answered. Lain thought that Stanton would want to spend time with Serena. She wondered why he would want to go to the Dungeon instead.
"We have a lot to catch up on" Stanton replied to her thoughts.
Lain carefully entered Stanton's mind and found the real reason why.
"And you don't trust Tymmie." She said.
"Tymmie . . . " Stanton showed pure dislike in his expression.
Stanton and Tymmie were always close. But when Tymmie started to show interest in Lain, Stanton began to be some what overprotective. Lain always did kinda see Stanton as the older brother type, But then other times he just seemed like a jealous old boyfriend. Lain laughed at the thought of her and Stanton together. It was ridiculous. Stanton gave a small laugh in agreement and disappeared into the night sky. When Stanton left, Lain became really bored and decided to go home and sleep. After all she did have her first day of school tomorrow. She didn't have to walk far. Her house was just right around the corner. She looks toward the drive way and saw her cousins' motorcycle there. Her aunt's car was no where to be seen.
"Probably working late" she thought.
Lain opened the door and walked up to her room, leaving the door to her room wide open. She knew her cousins would come in and start to question her. When she finished putting her pajama pants on, her two cousins came in and sat on her bed. The tall one was named Trent. He had a piercing on each ear and his hair was black with red highlights. Her Aunt Claire raised hell the night he came home like that. The other one was named Cole. Aside from his bleach blonde hair and surfer style attitude, he was pretty much normal compared to Lain and Trent.
"So where'd you go tonight?" Cole asked
"Probably the Dungeon." Trent assumed
" I sat in a tree all day and watched the sun go down. Can I go to sleep now?" Lain said.
"Sat in a tree? You need a boyfriend badly" Cole teased as Lain pushed them both out of her room. She closed the door, turned off the lights and collapsed on her twin sized bed.
