A/N hey guys sorry this is late...and the next two parts have a majority of explaining, so sorry if it's a bit boring! And I didn't have my beta reader for this one so bare with me please! Thanks!

I hurried in, and spotted Serena staring at a guy of about seventeen with blonde hair and clear blue eyes.

As Serena saw me enter the room she drew closer to my side, her expression a mixture of surprise and joy.

Wow, he's hot, I gaped.

As if reading my thoughts his head snapped in my direction. I meet his gaze, mine unwavering.

His eyes widened, and he glanced between Serena and me. His pupils dilated, and I felt a sluggish tickle in my mind.

I flinched, and stepped way somehow knowing he was tampering with my mind. As I backed away I felt the pressure abandon my mind.

He cocked his head to the side, and his wispy bangs fell into his alluring eyes.

"Who are you?" I questioned sharply. I tensed in his presence sensing a vile aura surrounding him.

"I think," he responded slowly his voice deep, and enticing, "the better question is who are you?"

I narrowed my eyes, and took a step forward defiantly.

"I'm Delaney, Delaney Kain," I answered my voice steady, and level.

He crossed his arms, and arched an eyebrow at me. He glanced at Serena.

"Are you friends with her?"

"Stanton, I didn't know you would be here," she exclaimed, off topic her eyes bright with delight.

He smirked.

"I didn't know I would be here either."

She giggled, and ran up to him throwing her arms around his neck.

He embraced her, wrapping his well-built arms around her waist. He smoothed down her wild, long, brown hair gently. He kissed the top of her head lovingly, then held her an arms length away from him. He glanced at me quickly, then diverted his eyes back to Serena's.

"Is she your friend?" he repeated his tone more demanding.

Serena nodded vigorously and I saw her toss warm a look my way.

"She has been for two weeks now. Why?" She tilted her head to the side quizzically. Her long hair spilled over her slim shoulders.

Stanton shook his head. "I'll talk to you later."

Serena frowned, and there was a few moments of stifling silence.

They gazed at each other intently, and I almost yelled to point out my existence in the room.

But, finally, Serena nodded grudgingly.

Stanton grasped her chin, kissing her on the lips. He pulled away, and began to exit the room.

As he brushed passed me, he looked down at me his piercing blue eyes searching my cool gray ones. I felt a tickle again, and narrowed my eyes; I closed my eyes and expelled my mind pushing the force out of my mind.

As I opened my eyes I saw Stanton stagger slightly, but regained his composer immediately. He stared at me shock, and awe written on his face.

Serena looked at me her face a mask of confusion. She glanced at Stanton for an explanation.

"You may want to do some research on your friend, Serena," he advised gazing at her, his face now unemotional. He shifted his gaze, and it landed on me. "Look up Libra."

"Libra?" Her tone held a note of uncertainty.

He nodded. "Ask Jimena too. I'll be doing some research on my own."

Serena glanced at me bewildered by his statement.

He started to depart again, but I caught his arm frantic for answers.

"Who-What are you?" I questioned my voice serious.

He smirked.

"Prince of the Night."

You might want to look that up for yourself, a voice whispered across my mind.

Instantly I connected the voice with Stanton's.

I glared at him caustically, daring him to enter my mind again.

He brushed past me still smirking.

I spun on my heels to watch him retreat, but found nothing. A shadow skirted by me, and rushed out the open French doors of Serena's room.

Stanton, I thought.

I knew he wanted to spook me.

"What's going on?" I demanded of Serena staring at her resolutely.

She sighed heavily, and then slouched down on her leopard-printed sheets defeated.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about- and if Maggie were here I'd take you to her, but she's not."

Serena shook her head sadly, and gazed at me.

"We are Daughters of the Moon, Catty, Vanessa and me. Jimena once was, but now she's our mentor. We are sworn to fight the Atrox and its Followers."

I shivered as she spoke those names.

"Is Stanton one of them?" I inquired, already knowing the answer though.

She nodded somberly. "Yeah, but he's good. My amulet didn't glow."

I creased my eyebrows in confusion.

"You mean your necklace."

For the first time I noticed it. A moon was etched into its surface, and it danged from a thin silver chain rope.

She nodded her curls bouncing off her shoulders.

"It warns us of danger."

"He wouldn't hurt us," she concluded with conviction.

I perceived the feeling that she loved him.

But I still doubted her words. He just didn't seem like a person to trust to me. I knew he was evil, as was the entire lot of them.

I nodded as she eyed me suspiciously. I hurriedly changed the subject in order not to offend Serena. "What do the Daughters do?"

"As in…" she trailed off her brows furrowed unsure of my meaning.

"I mean powers. Do you have any, like, magical powers? You know," I replied sweeping a hand up, and curving it downwards.

"Oh!" she expressed her lips forming a perfect "O". She grinned wildly before continuing. "Jimena used to see the future, Catty can time travel, and Vanessa can become invisible. All freaky powers, mine's more docile, I can read minds."

I gawked. This was too awesome.

"I think yours is the freakiest personally, no offense," I added hastily.

She laughed. "None taken, it's just everyone thinks Catty or Vanessa have the freakiest powers."

"Really?" I tilted my head to the side. "How many people know about you then?"

"Don't take that the wrong way," she said in a rush. "Not many people know about us. Basically only Followers know of the Daughters."

I nodded having already speculated that fact. I wondered, briefly, how many Followers there were in society.

I felt something crawling in my mind, and blocked my mind picturing a steel fortress surrounding it.

"Don't do that," I said fiercely. I hated when people messed with me, and meddled into things that weren't their business.

"Sorry," she responded, the shimmer in her eyes genuinely apologetic.

I sighed unable to stay mad at her. I was like that- I could never hold a grudge, and always treated everyone, even my worst enemies with respect and kindness.

"It's okay, just don't do it again."

Serena looked at me her gaze penetrating.

"You know," she began slowly collecting her thoughts, "whatever you are, you must be really powerful. You blocked Stanton without really even trying, and he's second to the Atrox."

The name Atrox sent chills racing down my spine and the fine hairs on the back of my neck perked up. It was as if some ancient force or instinct warned me of this creature. I hadn't even come face to face with the Atrox yet- and I was already wary of it.

I shook my head sadly, and plopped down next to Serena. The bed groaned under my added weight.

"But what am I! I'm I Libra?" I bit my lip tears beginning to form in my eyes. I blinked rapidly pushing the tears away, and flung myself back onto her bed.

Serena rotated slightly in her place so she could she my face. She clicked her tongue pierce against her teeth creating an obnoxious high pitched sound.

"I don't know- but we'll find out I promise. Come on let's go get the others so we can figure this out."

I glanced at her appreciatively, then averted my gaze to her double doors leading to a small balcony. I gazed out into the light blue sky my heart and soul reaching out for something that wasn't there. I badly wanted answers to my situation. I desired guidance and comfort.

As I stared I thought I saw a glint in the sky, but when I blinked it disappeared.

I sighed exasperated, then propped myself on my elbows. I noticed that Serena had been staring at me intently the entire time I had been lying down.

She placed a delicate hand on my knee, and shook my leg softly.

"Come on," she gestured to the door. She stood up taking my small hand, and hoisted me off the bed.
