A/N: Sorry people! I'm a newbie here, so…I probably forgot everything I was supposed to put in! Let me get this right so I don't get sued or beat up in the near future! Ha-ha! By the way, the prologue was suppose to be only a testing for me to get used to publishing the stuff but since you seem to like it, eh-what the heck, I'll continue it!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the people in the Daughters of the Moon series. I love your work Lynne Ewing! Please do not have the FBI knocking on my door tomorrow morning!
Now, to answer my reviews… Making friends already! Mwahaha
The demon goddess – Oh! I had no idea so don't beat me up! Okay okay. I admit, I was inspired by some of your stories but I didn't know you had the drowning thing in the plot-line. So sorry! But hey! Maybe great minds think alike!
Jaguarmoon – Uhh…okay…I'll continue it!
Okay now that I have bored you with my loud mouth, let's get on with the story!
Serena woke up as the sunshine rays managed to sneak through her window drapes. She mumbled a bit and snuggled in her bed. The warmth from the sun made her wish she would not have to go to school today but she knew she must.
A knock from the door made her more alert. "Yeah! Yeah, Collin, I'm up!" she screamed as she popped one lid open to take a peak. Her room was lit up, not by lights but by the morning sun. She thought, if the sun is already this bright…then…HOLY SHIT! I'm late for school! With that thought in mind, she threw back the covers and sat up in bed. Only then did she notice that she was completely naked.
Now the door opened and in came, not her brother, but her Prince of the Night. He held two cups of coffee. His dirty blonde hair slightly covered his inviting blue eyes which at the moment was scanning her up and down. It was at that moment that Serena recalled everything.
Last night, she and Stanton had done it for the very first time. After their get-together at Planet Bang, he brought her home and popped the question. She gladly accepted it. It must've been that after they had finished, they both fell asleep together.
Stanton grinned, childishly as well as mischievously. "So now you remember?" he asked as he sat down on the foot of the bed and handed her a cup of the freshly-brewed coffee. He was dressed already and looking good.
Serena blushed slightly and took a sip. It tasted warm and delicious on her tongue. It was odd how Stanton's coffee tasted so much better than Collin's. Getting back to reality, she set the coffee on the table and sat up. She looked around for her nightgown. After not finding it, she turned slowly towards Stanton who looked way too happy. "Stanton…what did you do with my sleeping gown?" she asked with a hint of warning in her voice.
"I don't know," he replied too hastily. "I never liked that dress. It covered too much. Besides, you look so much more beautiful right now," he said smiling at her. He then set his cup beside hers and walked over to her. He touched her bare shoulder which sent shivers up her spine.
After their long kissing moment, Serena finally broke the kiss and panicked. "Oh my god! I need to get to school! You always distract me!" she yelled as she threw a black spaghetti-strap tank top and cut jeans. "Where's Collin?"
"He left early. I told him I would watch after you," Stanton replied.
Serena walked briskly out the door and into the bathroom. No time for showers this morning. She quickly, yet carefully, brushed her teeth and applied her make-up. She slipped into her shoes and grabbed Stanton. They both melted into the shadows.
Serena reappeared in an ally a short block from La Brea High. She kissed Stanton on the lips and waved goodbye to him. He watched her go within the high school gates before returning to the shadows.
Serena was late, but not quite as late as she thought. She only missed about fifteen minutes of her first class. When she walked in, the teacher said nothing but continued writing meaningless equations on the board.
Of course, Catty was falling asleep. Serena plopped in to the empty seat beside Catty and took out her books.
The rest of the day went by quickly and smoothly. It wasn't until lunch that the questions came.
Vanessa, Jimena, and Catty looked at her as she munched on her food. Missing her breakfast made Serena extra hungry.
"Uh, Serena? Are you okay?" asked Vanessa.
"Yeah…sure, why wouldn't I be?" she replied.
"I don't know. You look, different and tired," Catty said.
"Were you out with Stanton again last night? I saw you two leaving Planet Bang pretty early yesterday," Vanessa recalled.
"No me gusta Stanton, chica," Jimena shook her head disapprovingly.
"Yeah, I was out with him. We didn't do anything," Serena lied. No way was she going to tell her friends yet.
After her statement, they began to discuss other things. By the end of the lunch period, Michael came strolling over. He kissed Vanessa quickly on the cheek. Just like that, Vanessa was gone with her lover. Catty decided to cut school again to help her mother out. Jimena looked Serena over.
"What?" Serena asked as she finished her lunch.
"You guys did something last night, didn't you Serena?" Jimena asked too curious for her own good.
Serena hated to lie to her best friend so she tried to pry into her mind but unfortunately, she was met with a solid wall.
"Don't play games with me chica," Jimena said.
"Okay okay, so we hung out at my place. Nothing big," Serena said. It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the exact truth either.
"Just be careful with him alright?" Jimena replied.
Lunch was over and Serena had lived through the day, well, more like slept through the day. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep her eyes open. After school, Jimena had asked Serena to hang out. She rejected telling her best friend that she was too tired to do anything. Jimena left then and Serena walked down the steps of La Brea High yawning at the same time.
A hot black car pulled by. Stanton rolled down the windows. "Need a ride?" he asked sweetly, too sweet for his evil self.
"Yes please," Serena replied as she got into the passenger seat. No sooner had he began to drive away that Serena fell into a deep sleep.
Before she knew it, Stanton had pulled over by her house. He gently shook her shoulder, waking her up. "Hey Serena, are you okay? You seem…odd today."
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks," answered Serena. With a quick peck on the cheek, she left and walked up the steps of her house. She turned around and waved. Stanton drove away.
