Stanton's POV
I reluctantly closed Maggie's door behind me. I didn't want to leave Melantha. It was just too hard.
I was the last one she said goodbye to. She didn't say much either. It was mainly just sniffles and hugs. I didn't want her to go, but she did seem really happy with her decision.
I barely even noticed when Serena came and put her arm around me comfortingly.
"I know. It's alright. At least she'll go to a better place, where we'll always know she's safe." Serena told me quietly.
I looked down at her; she was the person before me. The order had gone: Tianna, Vanessa, Jimena, Catty, Serena, and then me. It seemed like to me she went in order from those she had talked the most to.
I wondered what Melantha had said to her. She seemed more content now after the speech, before she was holding back tears, and thought there was something going on between us.
As if catching my thoughts Serena said, "She spoke to me about you and her. She told me the truth of about everything."
I looked at Serena surprised, "You're not mad? Or jealous? I mean, I" I stopped and waited for her to answer.
Serena started to say something then stopped, "Well, truthfully. I was. But Melanie explained everything to me and so now I'm not anymore. I was just overreacting."
I didn't want to push the subject further and lightly put my arm around Serena. Thing would be different for us, I could feel it. I couldn't help but think that Melantha would always linger in the back of my mind I would never be able to forget her.
A slight wind wrapped around me, and I looked towards the moon. It seemed unnaturally big and I could feel my eyes flash the familiar yellow.
A strange glow filled the daughters' eyes and they all looked as though they were in a different place. Serena stiffened in my arms and froze. I let her go and waved my hand in her face. She didn't even respond. None of them did. What was happening to them?
It was really strange. I looked at all of them and just as quickly as it had come they were out of the trance.
They all looked around for a minute, they looked really confused.
"Hey, look we're outside of Maggie's we should go say hi," Catty said suddenly. She seemed no longer confused.
Serena shrugged and looked around. She jumped when she saw me, her eyes looked at me questioningly, "What are you doing here?"
"I, you don't remember?" I asked suspiciously.
"Remember what?" Jimena asked curiously.
"Melantha, you don't remember her?" I studied their faces.
"No, that's a funny name. Why should we remember her?" Tianna asked.
"Because, she- I- What do you think you have been up to all night?" I gave up on trying to find the words to explain. Serena looked at me funnily, like I was crazy or something.
"We just had a goodbye party for Melanie, she's moving away tonight," Vanessa replied happily.
"Mel- I-," I stopped. What happened to them? How could they have forgotten Melantha?
"Stanton, have you gone loco? ¿Qué tal?" Jimena asked jokingly.
Then it hit me, something had made them forget about Melantha. That's why their eyes had looked so strange. Whatever it was made them think she was just a normal girl.
"Never mind, I better go. I was just checking up on you," I said pointedly to Serena. I lightly kissed her cheek and disappeared into the night. I watched as the girls continued down the street laughing and have a good time.
AN: Sorry it took so long to come out I've been fairly busy with other things. I hoped you liked the ending or just the story in particular because here's the big thing I was talking about: I'm going to write a sequel! It'll be mainly from Stanton's point of view I don't know whose else I could make it from, maybe one of the daughters every once in a while just because I don't like to write from a guy's pov for a long time. I don't know why maybe because I'm afraid I'll turn the guy into some wussy boy that sounds like a girl because I'm a girl and don't know what it's like to be a boy… Anyways… I know I sort of left you questioning so before you ask any I'll just tell you that most of them should get answered in the sequel, but if you want to you can just ask me and I'll answer them in the story if I can…Now to the reviewers:
Thank you so much for reading my story I really appreciate it (even the criticism) I'll answer some of the questions I got:
ChrisxStanton Supporter: Stanton didn't really just dump Serena he more cheated on her than anything else. It was a bad him (lol). I really didn't mean for it to happen but it just sort of did. They kept flirting so much and everything that the next thing I knew they kissed and kept kissing and I had to incorporate it into my story… At the beginning I seriously didn't want them to be together at all. I was really against it. As the story continued though I just stopped thinking and started to write and whatever came out did… sorry bout that :P
Soccergirl2044: You had asked me what about Blake… and well… he's pretty much finito… although he will be slightly mentioned in the sequel (you'll just find out what happened to him) Thanks for reviewing so much…
I'd like to give a shout-out (that sounded really cheesy but I don't know what else to say and I don't normally say that…) to all the people at the boards for reading the story and keeping up, I'm glad that you all enjoyed it :). See you there lol…
Here's a little summary for the next one (I'm still debating the name but I might keep it): Dark Warnings: Melantha's Return
Stanton has been having a lot of nightmares lately. In them he sees Melantha coming down from the heavens to warn him. Before she can ever tell him though, a darkness comes and swallows her whole. Stanton is unsure whether to believe the dream is real or not. Will Stanton believe before the real danger comes?
