Kay looked down at the ground as she walked with Serena catty, Vanessa and Jimena. Stanton's pants were far too big for her and dragged along the ground. The shirt wasn't much better, it hid her hands and sagged lazily. The night wind blew softly with the hint of humidity and a few small raindrops, ruffling her hair. She smiled and closed her eyes, noticing it for the first time. Kay listened as Serena and Jimena chattered and giggled. They sounded very excited, but about what? Her smile faded and Serena looked over.
"So, your names Kay? Nice to meet you."
Kay looked at Serena, "Uh, yeah but how would you know?"
"Maggie told us…and I read your mind. Seemed kind of empty."
Kay frowned sadly and hung her head. 'How would she read my mind? I feel Psychotic but I really can't remember anything and she proved it…IF she can read minds…" Yelling interrupted her thoughts.
"GUYS! GUYS! MAGGIE SAID NOT TO COME TONIGHT!" A girl with messy brown lockes of hair and brown eyes was skateboarding towards them.
"Who's that?' thought Kay.
"Tianna." Answered Serena abruptly staring in awe at Tianna who looked like she had fell once from her board.
'Jeez, ya really can read my mind.' thought Kay.
Sure enough Serena came right out and answered, "Yup!"
"Why doesn't Maggie want us to come tonight?" asked Jimena curiously.
Tianna stopped in front of them and bent over panting. "Because...she says...that...Regulators...are watching...the apartment..."
"What?! So what are we supposed to do then?" asked Vanessa glancing worriedly at Kay.
"She can stay at my house!" piped up Catty smiling broadly, "I'm sure Kendra won't mind her staying there."
Kay glanced around in confusion. She felt as if everyone treated her like an object, not a person, they barely acknowledged her or asked her opinion on where she wanted to stay.
"Well, how about we all stay at Catty's house? Then we can all explain to Kay what we are and who Maggie is." Suggested Jimena raising an eyebrow as if sensing Kay's dismay.
Kay felt herself smile as a warm breeze passed between her and the others.
Catty led everyone to her room and walked to her closet, pulling out many sleeping bags and pillows. Kay caught a pillow as it flew towards her head and picked out a sleeping bag on the floor. Carefully, she rolled it out and set her pillow at the top.
After everyone was settled in, they told Kay about the daughters of the moon and how Maggie led them and mentored them. Then ignoring that subject they giggled and talked about their lives and recent happenings. Kay sighed deeply and put her head down on the pillow. She still felt left out, not having anything to talk about. Then a thought popped into her head. Stanton. She blushed deeply and buried her head into her pillow. A longing feeling filled her.
The next morning was like any other for a normal girl but Kay wasn't going off to La Brea high with the others. Kendra had felt that Kay would be her other daughter but couldn't register her into school or adopt her because Kay had no birth certificate. Catty had explained everything she knew about Kay to Kendra and told her that they were going to meet Maggie at the café after school. So in the mean time, Kendra had given Kay money to go buy some clothes. She dropped her off at the mall and told her she'd pick her up in two hours.
The first store that Kay went into was Target and only found a few tank tops that she liked. The next store was called rave. It had lots of clothes you wouldn't normally find anywhere else. Kay found a shirt that draped down in a fairy like skirt and some pants that were a little bit too baggy to go with them. She found a pair of hot pink skating shoes and then a pair of brown boots that laced up and rose to her knees. Kay went over and bought a few bras and cute boy shorts along with some boxers and finally checked out everything. Sighing she walked out of the store and continued her shopping elsewhere until she finally had what she needed. Her stomach growled invariably and Kay realized she hadn't eaten anything since she had been found. As she walked to the food court she felt a hand grab her arm. Kay whirled around ready to attack but saw Stanton standing there with a solemn look on his face.
"Hey, I see your with them now?" he said grinning.
"With who?"she asked blinking with confusion.
"With the daughters of the moon," he replied give her a funny look.
"Actually, I still don't know who I am." She responded, "They deny I am one of them. I mean, I don't even have a special power so how could I?"
Stanton stared at her and then looked away at people. "You hungry?" he asked.
"Well that's where I was heading." She said starting to walk to a Greek restaurant.
"I'll get it for free for you," Stanton said smiling.
"Well, I'll see you later, I guess." Kay said looking at him and smiling. She knew he was a member of the Atrox but felt like he couldn't harm her for some reason. Kendra pulled up to the curb seeing Kay from the parking lot. "Bye."
She opened the door and got in. As Kendra drove away and she watched Stanton slightly raise his hand in a goodbye and let it fall in failure.
"You shouldn't hang around with that boy." said Kendra staring blankly at the road ahead.
"I know..."mumbled Kay coming out of her thoughts and noticing she still had her shopping bags in her hands. Sighing, she set them down and stared out the window for the remaining time of the drive.
Kendra pulled up in front of an old looking cafe where Serena was waiting outside for Kay. She stepped out of the car and slammed the door. "I will drop your stuff at our house." said Kendra smiling as she rolled down the window.
"Ok, thanks" Kay said grinning and waved to Kendra as she pulled away. Then she turned on her heel and headed towards Serena who looked as if she was going to burst with anxiety. "Come on!"she urged Kay giggling and taking her hand. Serena led her inside where an old woman Kay sensed was maggie sat at a round little table with Jimena, Tianna, Vanessa, and Catty. She took a chair and sat down looking at the old woman.
"So, you are Kay?"asked Maggie.
"Y...yeah." Kay responded,
"I think I have an answer to your problems but I'm not sure yet if what I am predicting is true."
"What is it?" asked Jimena.
Maggie sat there silently staring at Kay.
"I'm not going to say until I know more."said Maggie, breaking her peace.
"What you brought us here to tell us that?" asked Serena standing up.
"I simply wanted to see what she looked like. If it makes you feel any better she fits the description perfectly."said Maggie briskly and walked past Serena.
Kay stared down at the table. She didn't want to be in the middle of this whole fiasco.
"Let's go to Planet Bang tonight, it'll take our mind off of everything."suggested Vanessa.
Kay stood up from the table and ran out the door of the cafe, tears streaming down her face as a mad rush of thoughts came to her.
