Chapter 2: The truth about Cat
Ten minutes after dinner a car pulled up in front of the house, and honked.
"That'll be Jimena, she's one of my friends, and she'll give us a ride to the club." Tianna explained walking to the door ever aware of her amulet.
"Okay." Cat said following her.
As they walked out to the car the others exchanged glances as their amulets began to glow as well. Tianna shrugged and climbed into the car motioning for Cat to do the same.
Tianna we need to talk when we get to the club. Serena brushed the thought across her mind using her power. Tianna gave the tiniest of nods so that Cat wouldn't notice.
Twenty minutes passed and they were in line to get into the club, next to have their bags checked. Tianna's boyfriend Derek ran up and joined them in line. Vanessa had already gone in the side door to help Michael's band set up because she would be singing again that night. They got inside and Tianna asked Derek to show Cat around so that she could talk with the others. As soon as the two left the amulets around the other's necks stopped glowing.
"What's with the follower chica?" Jimena asked Tianna.
"She's the new foster kid and if she's a follower she doesn't act like it. Maybe she's an initiate?" Tianna asked glancing through the crowd to where the other two were.
"Maybe." Catty agreed.
"Maybe I should look into her thoughts?" Serena said.
"I guess." Tianna agreed.
Serena's eyes seemed to glaze over as she pushed into Cat's mind. She shifted through her memories looking for anything that might give her away as a follower. As she was looking she saw memories of her many homes, and the fires. She pulled out of her mind with a small gasp.
"Que pasa, chica? What's up?" Jimena asked.
"She's the one who started all those fires," Serena said. "The ones at her other foster homes."
"That's not surprising. Her file has her labeled as a pyro; she has parole against anything to do with fire." Tianna explained.
"That won't help much. She can start them herself. That's her power."
"Power? Like ours? Then why did our amulets glow? Did you sense the Atrox in her?" Catty asked.
"No. Maybe I should ask Stanton is she knows anything. We should ask Maggie too." Serena said thoughtfully.
"Maybe we should just take her with us to see Maggie." Tianna suggested.
"I think it best to check with her and Stanton first." Serena said.
As if on cue Stanton walked into the club and over to Serena wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Hey," he said kissing her lightly on the cheek.
"Hey," Serena replied, "we were just saying we needed to talk with you."
"You were?" He questioned raising an eyebrow as he pulled her closer and began to dance.
"Do you know anything about a follower with the power to start fires with thought?" Jimena asked.
"No we don't have that kind of power unless it's a Daughter that turned but even then she would have lost her power at the age of seventeen. Why?"
Tianna went into an explanation about Cat with Serena's help to fill in what she found in her mind.
"Well, you said you didn't feel the presence of the Atrox right? She isn't any follower I know of." Stanton said after a minute.
"The why did our necklaces glow around her?" Catty asked.
"I don't know I'll see what I can find out okay?"
"Alright Stanton." Serena said leaning against him.
"For now just be careful around her. I'll check in as soon as I find anything." Stanton said melding into the shadows and making his way back outside.
Serena gave a small sigh as they made their way back over to Derek and Cat.
Cat was dancing along to the music used to clubs from when she had lived in New York and Miami. She seemed oblivious to the guys staring at her. She picked up her moves as Michael's band began an upbeat song and Vanessa sang out the lyrics to her newest song.
Derek and Tianna began to dance as she filled him in on what was going on. Derek was the only one at La Brea High who knew about the Daughters. They only other people that knew about them were Serena's brother, who was dating Jimena Collin, Mary and Maggie, their mentor.
Jerome, who had stopped chasing after Serena since the incident with Lambert and Aura, walked up to Cat and asked her to dance. Cat gave a small nod.
An hour later Vanessa joined her friends and they filled her in on what Serena had found out and what Stanton had said. She listened with some concern.
"Okay so she's not a follower but her power isn't completely under her control. Maybe that's why our amulets were glowing. To warn us about her power." Vanessa said after they had finished explaining everything.
"Hey maybe your right. Let's go see what Maggie knows." Catty exclaimed.
"You guys go ahead I have to stay here with her our Mary might get really upset." Tianna said.
"You sure chica we could go another time?" Jimena said.
"Yeah I'm sure. Better to get information sooner rather then later after it's not needed anymore right?"
"If we don't get back before Planet Bang closes we'll call you okay?" Vanessa said.
"Alright good luck."
They left the club making sure to get their hands stamped incase they made it back in time and hopped into the 81' Oldsmobile Jimena drove. In no time they were at Maggie's apartment with cups of tea in front of them.
"We are short a Daughter tonight." Maggie stated.
"Yeah she stayed at Planet Bang." Catty said.
The girls explained again about Cat. After they were done Maggie sat in a thoughtful silence for a few minutes.
"I haven't heard anything on her in decades…She must not even know who she is anymore in this life." Maggie thought aloud.
"Who is she Maggie?" Serena asked.
"Well if she is who I think she is, she is a demon. A demo0n of the night. She is not a normal demon though, she is also half goddess."
"How can a demon be half goddess?" Vanessa asked.
"About ten centuries ago the goddess Hekkate fell in love with a night demon working for the Atrox. They had a daughter, but when the Atrox found out about her it was determined to turn her. She only shows up every few decades." Maggie explained.
"Why did our amulets glow then? I didn't sense the Atrox in her." Serena asked.
"Your amulets reacted to her demon half. Her demon side is always stronger around the dark of the moon. You should be careful, since you said she has trouble controlling her power that is when she is most likely to lose control."
"That's in like three days!" Catty exclaimed.
"Yes. I would suggest just keeping a careful eye on her, but don't raise suspicion, if the Atrox learns she is back it will stop at nothing to turn her."
The four nodded slightly.
"Now I suggest you four get back to the club." Maggie suggested cleaning up the mess from the tea.
"Okay." Vanessa said.
Okay, there is chapter two for you all. I hope you guys like it. RR please!
