Chapter Four: Lighting the way
As I flew invisible in the night's air, something came to my head. Stanton. and his obscure words about my premonition on how I had a prem with the eclipse, which wasn't till next week. what was happening? As the moon was high in the cool night, the wind was in my face, I wondered where riles was. what he was doing. I missed him, more than I ever could have imagined, and just seeing him again made me ecstatic. and the fact that Dyzzie was here? What the hell was up with that? Why were HE here. and when all this bizarre stuff was happening. I'd have to watch him. There's something under his skin that he doesn't want anyone to know about. but what?
Suddenly as I was trying to remember where the orphanage was, a great force hit me out of nowhere. I screamed and felt my self-falling but then someone caught me. oh how gorgeous he looked, I gasped as he held me in his arms and looked around. "Who are you?" he asked not letting me down. He began to run. His hair fell into his eyes but he didn't bother. As he kept looking about, he kept running until finally he stopped in the park and let me go. "Who are you?!" I looked at him. Who was I? He was the one saving me! Shouldn't he have some clue? And how did he see me? I was invisible! "Who am I? Who are you! How'd you see me?" I asked putting my hands to my hips. The guy huffed and shook his head. He looked into my eyes for a moment and we stared at each other until he smirked. "I'm Chris." "Uh. hi. Chris. How-how did you. see me?" I pondered looking at him.
He smiled and looked around, "I have a gift. I know what you are. you have one of my girlfriend's powers." he informed with a smile as he kept looking around. "Oh. what are you looking for?" I asked following his glare. "Her! Get down!" Chris pushed me behind a bench and kicked away a ball coming towards him at top speed. "Get out of the way Chris!" a woman sneered. "Cassandra! Why are you doing this? Why did you return?" Chris bellowed slapping away a jolt of energy. What was going on? Who was 'Cassandra'? "Because, Chris, I found life of the darkness much more entertaining. Plus, I have some new powers I'd like to share with the daughters, along with that little BRAT!"
"Cassandra!" Stanton's voice bellowed out of nowhere. Some how, his eyes glinted from the clouds above, large beady blue eyes. Glaring with coldness and ice. I gasped, how'd he even -do- that? But before I could even ask, Stanton appeared looking at me. "Luna. Get out of here." he roared pointed to the sidewalk. I looked at Chris, he nodded and I started to run. "Get back here you little whore!" Cassandra screamed as she appeared in front of me. I screamed and suddenly she flew back by just the force of my hand. Cassandra flew to the grass, pulling up the roots, revealing wet mud. "Your strong for just realizing your power." Chris muttered in awe. I shrugged. "I have more than I realized." I pointed out realizing it myself. I smiled, but frowned as Cassandra stood up, not even with a scratch.
I exhaled, swallowing. Cassandra drew a silver blade, and before Stanton or Chris or even I could protect myself, she thrust it through me. I screamed and fell backwards onto my bum, trembling from pain. I screamed from agony as she smirked and disappeared into the night. A shock of electricity shot through me, numbing my entire body.
"Not. again." I groaned looking up at Stanton and Chris. They were kneeling beside me. Tears fell down my cheeks and blood poured onto the grass. I couldn't breath, everything was getting cold, and I was getting dizzy. After a moment, I blacked out, not remembering anything that happened to me.
A cold tremor shot through my body. I bolted up screaming. I was in this dark muggy atmosphere. Cold whispers filled my ears from no place. For a moment, I was incoherent; I didn't understand anything that was happening. It was either moving to fast or to slow or not even at all. After a moment however, my senses returned just to see the five goddesses looking at me with a questionable look. "How you feelin Luna?" asked Tianna looking at me from her white leather chair. The other goddesses nodded in wondering how I was feeling. I shrugged; I really didn't know at all how I was feeling. I was both confused, in pain, and tired. "After you are feeling better, we want to take you to see our friend, Maggie, Luna." I nodded, not bothered by resisting. I just didn't have the energy to object.
Three days later I was let go. We were all walking down the street when I decided to ask how I even got to the hospital. Catty explained thoroughly how Chris and Stanton had taken me to the hospital after the fight and left in plight together. That had shocked the goddesses gravely because they were enemies, yet were working together. Catty was afraid that Chris was now working for the Atrox, which upset her dearly, even though she didn't show it. I just nodded not really understanding all she was talking about. It didn't really matter to me in a way I suppose. While they kept on talking about various things dealing with the Atrox, my mind wandered back to Dyzzie. What was he doing here? And why was he here? Did the goddesses know him? Maybe this Maggie of theirs had some answers in which I was looking for.
The sun shot through the red and orange leaves glowing vibrantly in quiet as they reached her apartment. Jimena pushed the button and a cool voice called back to her. "Hey Mag, its Jimena, we have her," 'Her'? I didn't like how they mentioned me as her, but didn't say anything. Maggie let us in and we walked up the stairs to her apartment. Walking in, I gazed around. Everything looked oddly different, cool, and unique. A woman whom must have been Maggie by the smiles on the goddesses approached kindly holding a tray of tea and crumpets. "Please, sit," she motioned for us to move in and sit down, and we followed with out complaints. I sat down in a nice comfy chair still gazing around when Maggie called my name. I turned to face her, blankly. "Yes?" "Luna. Let me see your hand, please?" Maggie asked moving towards me. I looked at Serena. She nodded gingerly and I moved my hand towards Maggie a bit curious. She took my hand and her eyes closed. With her other hand, she rubbed it on my palm in a circular motion then back and fourth. The expression on her face went from still, to worry. She jerked, her grasp on my hand strengthened. I tried to pull away, but her grip was strong considering she was old. Blood started to pour from the cuts she inflicted with her nails. No one seemed to notice but me. The pain was intense. "Let go! Ow! You're hurting me!" I screamed trying to pull away when finally Maggie fell backwards towards the back of the couch breathing heavily. I clutched my bleeding hand looking around me with horrific fright.
None of the goddesses seemed bothered by what happened, but more perplexed on what I just did. "Are you alright?" Vanessa asked swallowing. "She was gripping my hand, look at it! It's bleeding!" I snapped unbelieving that they didn't seem to realize what was going on. They just looked at me when a man walked in. "Hey Mag, where's the--" he froze and looked at me. My mouth parted and I looked at Dyzzie. "Dyzzie? What the hell are you doing here?" "Why the hell are you doing here?" Dyzzie asked blankly. I scorned. "What is going on here? I want some answers!"
Maggie made a hushing noise, "please, sit down, Dyzzerous, you too." Maggie snapped her fingers and Dyzzie was suddenly lounging in a chair drinking some tea. All the girls looked at him smiling dreamily. I rolled my eyes and looked at Maggie. "Well?" Maggie parted her lips as if she were going to tell me, then closed them obviously thinking of something to say. "This may come to a shock to you all," Maggie started quietly. "Oh, you'll be having a laugh after you hear it," Dyzzie choked her grinning. "First, what is he doing here?" I demanded pointing to Dyzzie. "Alright, I'll tell you about him first. "This is Dyzzerous, he's a son of the moon." Everyone blinked, confused, probably more than me. Even though they didn't say anything to interrupt her, I could tell they have a million questions just as I did. "The last thing to come out of the box was not the daughters of the moon. Selene had a son, Dyzzerous, to watch over the daughters incase they fell; he could save them and bring them back to the heavens. Whenever the daughters are in great peril, his mother calls upon him and sends him to help the daughters when they are needed the most. He is immortal as the Atrox, and as pure as pure can get, besides his cocky personality," Maggie chuckled at the last bit. "So he's here to help us?" Catty pointed to Dyzzie. Maggie nodded. They all smiled, "Awesome!"
"Sorry Lune for not telling ya couldn't. Daughters aren't even s'pose to know, but Mag here thinks it was a good idear." Maggie nodded, "Indeed, now about you Luna." I looked from Dyzzie to Luna swearing to slap Dyzzie after this. Did he know about me the whole time? "This may come to a shock to you all. But Serena. Luna is your daughter," Maggie explained looking at Serena. The goddesses all laughed, I just looked at them then at Maggie declaring she was crazy in my mind. "Come on Maggie, stop playin around, seriously, who is she?" Serena asked wiping her eyes. Maggie shook her head. "I am not lying my dear, Luna is your and Stanton's daughter in the future." "Then how come I'm the same age as them?" I asked pointing to the goddesses. "There was a time rip and everything was sent back to the past, but some how, you came with it shortcake," Dyzzie explained smiling. I looked at him, "You knew all this time?" Dyzzie nodded. I lunged at him screaming. "And you never told me?! Why you stupid--"
Suddenly everything froze and I was looking around. "What happened?" I asked looking around. The goddesses were looking at me. "Yeah, She does have your nose Serena," Jimena noticed studying me. "Yeah, and your chin, but she has Stanton's hair and eyes," Catty added smiling. I looked at them. They actually believed that I was Serena's daughter.
"What I don't get, is how she has all your powers," Maggie explained suddenly moving. Dyzzie however was still frozen for a moment before having the ability to move, falling backwards off his chair. He got up and straightened his body. "Must have been a glitch in the rip," Maggie nodded. "We have to find a way to get you back to your time," "Back. to. to my time? This is my time!" I explained swallowing. "I grew up in this time. you can't send me back to some place I don't exist in!" Maggie sighed. "I knew I shouldn't have told any of you. it might alter reality and you might not even get to be born." She sighed and stirred her tea. Serena's smiled vanished suddenly and she cleared her throat. "Ya know? I don't think that will be a problem considering I'm pregnant." Everyone looked at her, "What?! You're pregnant? Oh my gosh! When? Where? Who?" Vanessa squealed giddy. I rolled my eyes. "Obviously with my dad," Serena nodded. "Found out a week ago. been thinking of a good time to tell you, but its been so hectic, I don't even know how it happened. I just. I don't know."
I growled and stood up. This was all bogus stupidity. None of it is true. They are all playing with my mind, even Dyzzie, stupid git. Looking at them, I walked to the door, rage building up. "Luna, where ya going, baby?" Dyzzie questioned suddenly appearing in front of me. I scowled at him, "You're all playing with my mind and I don't like it!" I screamed looking at him. "I'm going home. This is ridiculous, I'm not her daughter, and we're the same age!" After I told him that, I opened the door and slammed it shut.
I sighed and leaned against the door, not knowing what to do or think when it opened. I screamed surprised and fell backwards into Dyzzie's arms. He had his hands on my chest with a huge grin on his face. Pulling his hands away, I stood up. "Why'd you do that?" Dyzzie shrugged. I could tell he enjoyed every minute of it. "Come here love, I want to tell you something," Dyzzie grabbed me and started to mutter something in my ear.
"How bout we do the tango and I help you bring your lover boy back to his jolly ol' self."
I looked at him perplexedly. Dyzzie put his arm around my shoulder and guided me towards outside. The goddesses followed closely behind not speaking. When we reached the pavement, the sun greeted us with golden rays of warmth. I breathed in the fresh air and suddenly everything was alright.
The goddesses decided to teach me to control my gifts, since they each had them. They figured it would be a good idea since I would be fighting Riles, whom was apart of the Atrox now. I didn't really want to fight Riles at all, but they just told me 'Just in case'. There has to be another way other than fighting. "So chica, heard from Chris lately?" Jimena turned to Catty as we all sat at Pink's. Catty sat her soda down on the counter and shook her head sighing, "Not at all." "Oh, don't worry Catty, he'll contact you, I'm sure of it!" Vanessa declared a bit to enthusiastically. "Yeah, he's probably fighting off predators that were trying to get to you or something, he's a hero!" Tianna smiled and finished her Coke raising a finger for another. I sat there by the window in silence. I felt so out of place, like I didn't belong. It didn't even seem like they wanted me here. Serena kept giving me weird looks of confusion. She probably couldn't believe that I'm her daughter. I'm not, so get over it. I wanted to yell at her, but I didn't.
"Hey ladies, I'll be back," Dyzzie stood up and walked to the back. I looked at him leave.
"Hey, Luna, you alright?"
I looked at the goddesses. They were all looking at me worried. I smiled, at least they thought it was nice to pretend to care. "I'm alright, just. trying to let it all in I guess, how long did it take you to--" "Accept who we are?" Serena asked with a serene smile. I nodded. She shrugged, "A while I suppose. it's hard at first, believe me, but now, I believe it's a gift." I nodded, "Nice way of looking at it I guess," Everyone laughed, "You've got spunk Luna, you've got spunk." I didn't know how to take that, but I nodded anyway. Now I wondered what was going to happen to me. I looked at Serena. She was my mom? But we were the same ages. How was this even possible? It wasn't! it couldn't be! It's just a dream I can't wake up from. Half of me thought that, the other half, knew the truth, what they were saying was real.
Later that day I had to get away. They were all talking about a way to get me back to my time when I just got up and left. I was walking down the street muttering obscenities to myself when a pair of black boots were in front of me. I followed them upwards towards black pant legs, a black shirt and leather jacket, and finally into the eyes of Riles. I smiled withdrawing a breath. I couldn't believe it! he looked down at me smiling. His hair was all over the place, gelled. He had spiked bracelets on, a dog collar, and the smell of Curve. Ah, he smelled like a god. "riles!" I jumped on him hugging him hard, tears swelling in my eyes. "I can't believe its you!" I could feel riles exhaling, then breathing in my essence. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close. "I've missed you so much," "I've missed you too." I whispered not letting him go.
"Luna! LUNA GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
I pulled away, my arms still around his neck and looked behind me. the goddesses were running towards me screaming. I looked back at riles. He was looking at the goddesses awkwardly. "I love you," he whispered, and then he disappeared in my arms. I looked at the air horrified. My arms fell to my sides and my shoulders tensed. He was gone. I turned to the goddesses. They were now closer. "WHY?!" I screamed out in anger. "WHY? WHY? WHY?!" Before they could answer, something growled behind me. I turned around and a vortex of some kind opened up. I screamed. There was a suction pulling me through. "AAAH! HELP!" Before anyone could help me, I disappeared into the vortex. It closed with a ripping sound and I was floating in blackness. "hello?" my voice echoed into the distance. There was no answer to my call. "Where am I?" there was still no sound. Why was I here? It felt like I was floating forever. Soon, it got really cold. My breathing got hard for me, like my chest was losing power. I looked around, suddenly completely scared out of my wits.
A black shadowy figure started walking towards me. since it was dark, I didn't see how I could see it, but it got closer, and closer, until I recognized that it was someone I didn't know. I moved back, but it was already to close to me. "You are mine!" it hissed, its voice shrill and menacing. A girl appeared with long thick black wavy hair. I didn't understand but I started to scream. So many fears of my past started to come forward into my mind like a movie, pausing at every scene.
I don't know what happened next, but I felt different, I felt. evil. I felt the need to kill, suck the happiness out of the people on earth, and kill the goddesses. "Listen to me Luna. Find out all you can about the goddesses, everything, and every night, call out my name and tell me everything. Soon, we can kill the goddesses and everything they told you will become fake, and you can go back to living the way you were before you met them, with Riles." The woman's voice hissed with anticipation. "Now hold out your arm," she commanded. I did so. She took my wrist and within the inside, slit across. It stung and I tried pulling away, but she kept a hold. Blood poured out, dripping into nothing, disappearing with the echoing sound of the drops. She poured what looked like dust into my wrist and the cut started to spin and then it disappeared to look like my wrist again. "Now, go, and get all the information," I nodded. I wanted to go back to being normal. "Yes Miss Shazza." I didn't know how I knew her name, but I did. I also knew she was apart of the inner circle. How? I don't know. But after that, I closed my eyes and started to fall. I kept falling until I landed on a pool of placid water.
"Luna! Luna wake up!" I opened my eyes. the goddesses were looking at me strangely. "it was all just a dream." I mumbled without noticing myself. They all looked at me perplexed. "Are you okay?" I nodded and Jimena helped me up. "you just-fainted, Chica, are you sure you are?" I nodded again. "Yeah, it's just. all the stuff from today." They all nodded. I could feel something prickling in my head and I looked at Serena. I couldn't even remember what I did today, so I really didn't really care if she was trying to look into my head. I could barely remember the vortex, let alone what happened after I got into the vortex, or how I ended up on the streets again.
"Her mind is completely blank," Serena muttered to the others. "Really? So what happened? She just disappears and then reappears out of no where? Where did she go?" Vanessa whispered to Serena. "We could go back into time and find out," catty suggested looking at me. I don't know what happened after that, but I turned in visible and fell to the ground. "Where did she go?" Tianna looked around. "She's gone," "Luna?" I got up and started to run. I don't know why, but I started to. I was so confused. I felt like they were only trying to use me, but why? "Luna! - we have to find her!" I ran into a back alley and leaned against the wall reappearing. I was drenched in cold sweat. "Running are we?" I looked up at Stanton. My dad. "sure," I replied casually shrugging. I wondered if he knew that I was his daughter. "How convenient." "Why?" Stanton shrugged. "They're you're friends, aren't they?" I shrugged. I really didn't know anymore. "What do you want?" Stanton smiled. "I want to know about your parents." He knows. "I'm an orphan. I don't remember my parents." I could see a glint of sadness, but it disappeared all to quickly for me to really recognize it. "Why?" "No reason," Stanton looked around him. "Be careful, alright?" he asked looking down at me. "Yes father," I rolled my eyes not realizing what I said. I looked up at him. he smiled. "I knew it. I knew it. I can't believe it though. Right here, sixteen, same age as your mother, it's. I don't believe it." Stanton smiled. I just looked at him a bit confused. He was losing it. "I think you're getting old," I muttered a bit afraid of his attitude. Stanton laughed. "You have her odd humor," "pleasant, look, I have to go, love chatting with you dad, but uh, tootles," I got up to leave, but he put his arms on either side of me against the wall. "What?" "Be-careful." I nodded. "Roger, now." He moved his arms to his sides. "Thank you," I dusted off my pants and walked out of the alley way looking both ways to make sure the goddesses were no where to be seen. "That was too weird," I muttered to myself deciding to go get some coffee and food.
I'm SOOOOOOOOO SORRY I haven't updated it! I feel so evil! But THANK YOU to all my loyal readers, for having patience's with a girl with long ass brain farts! I'm trying, but I don't know what to do! I need inspiration! Ideas! Anything! keep having faith in me! I will prevail!

I explained swallowing. "I grew up in this time. you can't send me back to some place I don't exist in!" Maggie sighed. "I knew I shouldn't have told any of you. it might alter reality and you might not even get to be born." She sighed and stirred her tea. Serena's smiled vanished suddenly and she cleared her throat. "Ya know? I don't think that will be a problem considering I'm pregnant." Everyone looked at her, "What?! You're pregnant? Oh my gosh! When? Where? Who?" Vanessa squealed giddy. I rolled my eyes. "Obviously with my dad," Serena nodded. "Found out a week ago. been thinking of a good time to tell you, but its been so hectic, I don't even know how it happened. I just. I don't know."
I growled and stood up. This was all bogus stupidity. None of it is true. They are all playing with my mind, even Dyzzie, stupid git. Looking at them, I walked to the door, rage building up. "Luna, where ya going, baby?" Dyzzie questioned suddenly appearing in front of me. I scowled at him, "You're all playing with my mind and I don't like it!" I screamed looking at him. "I'm going home. This is ridiculous, I'm not her daughter, and we're the same age!" After I told him that, I opened the door and slammed it shut.
I sighed and leaned against the door, not knowing what to do or think when it opened. I screamed surprised and fell backwards into Dyzzie's arms. He had his hands on my chest with a huge grin on his face. Pulling his hands away, I stood up. "Why'd you do that?" Dyzzie shrugged. I could tell he enjoyed every minute of it. "Come here love, I want to tell you something," Dyzzie grabbed me and started to mutter something in my ear.
"How bout we do the tango and I help you bring your lover boy back to his jolly ol' self."
I looked at him perplexedly. Dyzzie put his arm around my shoulder and guided me towards outside. The goddesses followed closely behind not speaking. When we reached the pavement, the sun greeted us with golden rays of warmth. I breathed in the fresh air and suddenly everything was alright.
The goddesses decided to teach me to control my gifts, since they each had them. They figured it would be a good idea since I would be fighting Riles, whom was apart of the Atrox now. I didn't really want to fight Riles at all, but they just told me 'Just in case'. There has to be another way other than fighting. "So chica, heard from Chris lately?" Jimena turned to Catty as we all sat at Pink's. Catty sat her soda down on the counter and shook her head sighing, "Not at all." "Oh, don't worry Catty, he'll contact you, I'm sure of it!" Vanessa declared a bit to enthusiastically. "Yeah, he's probably fighting off predators that were trying to get to you or something, he's a hero!" Tianna smiled and finished her Coke raising a finger for another. I sat there by the window in silence. I felt so out of place, like I didn't belong. It didn't even seem like they wanted me here. Serena kept giving me weird looks of confusion. She probably couldn't believe that I'm her daughter. I'm not, so get over it. I wanted to yell at her, but I didn't.
"Hey ladies, I'll be back," Dyzzie stood up and walked to the back. I looked at him leave.
"Hey, Luna, you alright?"
I looked at the goddesses. They were all looking at me worried. I smiled, at least they thought it was nice to pretend to care. "I'm alright, just. trying to let it all in I guess, how long did it take you to--" "Accept who we are?" Serena asked with a serene smile. I nodded. She shrugged, "A while I suppose. it's hard at first, believe me, but now, I believe it's a gift." I nodded, "Nice way of looking at it I guess," Everyone laughed, "You've got spunk Luna, you've got spunk." I didn't know how to take that, but I nodded anyway. Now I wondered what was going to happen to me. I looked at Serena. She was my mom? But we were the same ages. How was this even possible? It wasn't! it couldn't be! It's just a dream I can't wake up from. Half of me thought that, the other half, knew the truth, what they were saying was real.
Later that day I had to get away. They were all talking about a way to get me back to my time when I just got up and left. I was walking down the street muttering obscenities to myself when a pair of black boots were in front of me. I followed them upwards towards black pant legs, a black shirt and leather jacket, and finally into the eyes of Riles. I smiled withdrawing a breath. I couldn't believe it! he looked down at me smiling. His hair was all over the place, gelled. He had spiked bracelets on, a dog collar, and the smell of Curve. Ah, he smelled like a god. "riles!" I jumped on him hugging him hard, tears swelling in my eyes. "I can't believe its you!" I could feel riles exhaling, then breathing in my essence. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close. "I've missed you so much," "I've missed you too." I whispered not letting him go.
"Luna! LUNA GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
I pulled away, my arms still around his neck and looked behind me. the goddesses were running towards me screaming. I looked back at riles. He was looking at the goddesses awkwardly. "I love you," he whispered, and then he disappeared in my arms. I looked at the air horrified. My arms fell to my sides and my shoulders tensed. He was gone. I turned to the goddesses. They were now closer. "WHY?!" I screamed out in anger. "WHY? WHY? WHY?!" Before they could answer, something growled behind me. I turned around and a vortex of some kind opened up. I screamed. There was a suction pulling me through. "AAAH! HELP!" Before anyone could help me, I disappeared into the vortex. It closed with a ripping sound and I was floating in blackness. "hello?" my voice echoed into the distance. There was no answer to my call. "Where am I?" there was still no sound. Why was I here? It felt like I was floating forever. Soon, it got really cold. My breathing got hard for me, like my chest was losing power. I looked around, suddenly completely scared out of my wits.
A black shadowy figure started walking towards me. since it was dark, I didn't see how I could see it, but it got closer, and closer, until I recognized that it was someone I didn't know. I moved back, but it was already to close to me. "You are mine!" it hissed, its voice shrill and menacing. A girl appeared with long thick black wavy hair. I didn't understand but I started to scream. So many fears of my past started to come forward into my mind like a movie, pausing at every scene.
I don't know what happened next, but I felt different, I felt. evil. I felt the need to kill, suck the happiness out of the people on earth, and kill the goddesses. "Listen to me Luna. Find out all you can about the goddesses, everything, and every night, call out my name and tell me everything. Soon, we can kill the goddesses and everything they told you will become fake, and you can go back to living the way you were before you met them, with Riles." The woman's voice hissed with anticipation. "Now hold out your arm," she commanded. I did so. She took my wrist and within the inside, slit across. It stung and I tried pulling away, but she kept a hold. Blood poured out, dripping into nothing, disappearing with the echoing sound of the drops. She poured what looked like dust into my wrist and the cut started to spin and then it disappeared to look like my wrist again. "Now, go, and get all the information," I nodded. I wanted to go back to being normal. "Yes Miss Shazza." I didn't know how I knew her name, but I did. I also knew she was apart of the inner circle. How? I don't know. But after that, I closed my eyes and started to fall. I kept falling until I landed on a pool of placid water.
"Luna! Luna wake up!" I opened my eyes. the goddesses were looking at me strangely. "it was all just a dream." I mumbled without noticing myself. They all looked at me perplexed. "Are you okay?" I nodded and Jimena helped me up. "you just-fainted, Chica, are you sure you are?" I nodded again. "Yeah, it's just. all the stuff from today." They all nodded. I could feel something prickling in my head and I looked at Serena. I couldn't even remember what I did today, so I really didn't really care if she was trying to look into my head. I could barely remember the vortex, let alone what happened after I got into the vortex, or how I ended up on the streets again.
"Her mind is completely blank," Serena muttered to the others. "Really? So what happened? She just disappears and then reappears out of no where? Where did she go?" Vanessa whispered to Serena. "We could go back into time and find out," catty suggested looking at me. I don't know what happened after that, but I turned in visible and fell to the ground. "Where did she go?" Tianna looked around. "She's gone," "Luna?" I got up and started to run. I don't know why, but I started to. I was so confused. I felt like they were only trying to use me, but why? "Luna! - we have to find her!" I ran into a back alley and leaned against the wall reappearing. I was drenched in cold sweat. "Running are we?" I looked up at Stanton. My dad. "sure," I replied casually shrugging. I wondered if he knew that I was his daughter. "How convenient." "Why?" Stanton shrugged. "They're you're friends, aren't they?" I shrugged. I really didn't know anymore. "What do you want?" Stanton smiled. "I want to know about your parents." He knows. "I'm an orphan. I don't remember my parents." I could see a glint of sadness, but it disappeared all to quickly for me to really recognize it. "Why?" "No reason," Stanton looked around him. "Be careful, alright?" he asked looking down at me. "Yes father," I rolled my eyes not realizing what I said. I looked up at him. he smiled. "I knew it. I knew it. I can't believe it though. Right here, sixteen, same age as your mother, it's. I don't believe it." Stanton smiled. I just looked at him a bit confused. He was losing it. "I think you're getting old," I muttered a bit afraid of his attitude. Stanton laughed. "You have her odd humor," "pleasant, look, I have to go, love chatting with you dad, but uh, tootles," I got up to leave, but he put his arms on either side of me against the wall. "What?" "Be-careful." I nodded. "Roger, now." He moved his arms to his sides. "Thank you," I dusted off my pants and walked out of the alley way looking both ways to make sure the goddesses were no where to be seen. "That was too weird," I muttered to myself deciding to go get some coffee and food.
