"Well I'm glad that's over with," said Jennifer starting to run down the beach she yelled, "Now lets get out there!"

"I'm with Jennifer!" exclaimed Catty who was running after Jennifer.

"Yeah guys, let's go!" shouted Vanessa to Tianna, Jimena, and Serena.

"Were coming," they said in Unison, and they started running towards Jennifer, Catty, and Vanessa. They all ran through the tide line playfully splashing each other.

Once Jennifer was about halfway through the beach she stripped off her clothes over her bathing suit and ran right into the water. The coldness cooled her down as she got deeper. The other daughters only went up to their knee's because the water was so cold that they were too scared to go in.

"Come on guys, don't be chickens!" Jennifer yelled before going under to swim closer to them.

Jennifer grabbed Vanessa's legs and pulled her deeper into the water and then her and Vanessa splashed Jennifer then they went in to get the others. Vanessa grabbed Catty and Jennifer grabbed Tianna. Once they were all in only Serena and Jimena were left. Jennifer and Vanessa went in and got Serena because she went in a little further hoping not to get dragged in deeper. They got her and brought her out deeper then they all ran in and grabbed Jimena and went back out, despite the rain clouds coming. They played around for awhile until raindrops started to fall. They ran to shore and grabbed all of their stuff and went quickly to Jimena's car. By the time they got there it was pouring rain.

"So much for a fun time at the beach," said a disappointed Catty.

"Yeah just when it was starting to get fun, huh Jennifer," joked Vanessa.

"Yeah, oh well we can come down here again some other day," said Jennifer as she looked sadly out the window at the rain pounding on the pavement as they drove down the street. 'I sure hope this won't happen all of the time here. We moved here so that I could get away from her, not for her to follow us. Stupid weather changing power.' Jennifer thought to herself even though she promised herself that she wouldn't think or talk about Alex, she did anyway.

"Who's Alex Jennifer?" asked Serena.

Jennifer looked up from the road with a jolt from being disturbed from her thoughts, and then she realized Serena had read her thoughts, "She's just someone from my old town that I used to know."

"Go on," urged Catty.

"Uh, are we all going to someone's house because if we are then I'll tell you guys then," answered Jennifer.

"Yeah sure, why don't we go to my house today," suggested Vanessa, "I know my mom wont mind."

"Okay," said Tianna.

"Well were almost at Jennifer's and your house. I'll drop Jennifer off then she can meet us at your place, how about that?" asked Jimena, "okay, here we are Jennifer," said Jimena as she pulled into Jennifer's driveway.

"Thanks. See you guys in about 10 minutes," said Jennifer as she got out of the car and ran to her front porch and waved, then she went inside

"Mom, dad, I'm home!" she hollered.

"Hey hunny, were in here," said her mother Barb who was just making lunch, "You want some," she asked.

"No thanks mom, I'm planning on going over to Vanessa's for the night, is that okay?" asked Jennifer while she grabbed a slice of tomato from a plate full of vegetables.

"I guess, but I want you home tomorrow night. It feels like we haven't seen you in ages," said Barb.

"Okay, I guess I'll stay home tomorrow," Jennifer joked as she exited the kitchen and ran upstairs to grab some clothes. Once she was finished packing she grabbed her keys just incase and left on her way out she yelled, "See you guys tomorrow," and then she shut the door. She then ran down the street to Vanessa's house with a backpack full of stuff in it, if anyone had seen her they'd think she'd gone nuts.

Once she arrived at Vanessa's she rang the doorbell. After about 30 seconds Vanessa finally answered, "hey, what took you so long to get over here? We just made some popcorn," she asked.

"My mom just kept talking to me," she said as she walked inside.

Vanessa laughed and then said, "the others are up in my room, were anxious to hear, or pardon me, learn about Alex and why she troubles you so much."

Jennifer started climbing the stairs, "It's a long story so you better have lots of popcorn."

"Oh trust me, we do," said Vanessa as she followed Jennifer up the stairs.

Jennifer opened the door to Vanessa's room to find a microwave plugged in on a table and about 10 boxes of microwave popcorn sitting on top and around the microwave. She gawked at the sight of so much popcorn, and their cleverness. "Well aren't you guys just so clever," she said as she popped a bag into the microwave.

"Hurry up and get started," urged Serena.

"You guys really want to know?" asked Jennifer.

"Well duh!" exclaimed Catty who was munching on her own bag of popcorn.

"Fine," said Jennifer, "It started like when I lived in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada in about grade 5. Well, we actually started to hang out in grade five, I've known her since kindergarten." she started.

"Keep going," said Tianna.

"Well we became like best friends and she told me she had a power. She told me her power was weather control. She could change the weather, and if she got moody, it really acted up. And she's here now so the weather might really act up," explained Jennifer, "I told her about my power, so she never let me get away from her because she always wanted me to do things for her, evil things. So I moved here, and I don't know how she followed me, but she said that a voice told her things in her dreams, things to do and stuff, and how to always be with me and that she must gain my trust. I think it may have been the Atrox. What do you guys think?"

The daughters stared at her astonished by what she had just told them. "I think she could be a different type of daughter, like a daughter of a dark goddess," suggested Tianna.

"Yeah, that sounds like it could be her in a nutshell," replied Jennifer then she thought to herself, 'What is Alex, and why is she here?' Then she looked at Serena, making sure that she hadn't picked up any of her thoughts. Luckily she hadn't, Serena's mind was too focused on who or what Alex was.

"I think Alex may be a daughter of the Dark Moon and the Atrox," suggested Tianna.

"Tianna, I think your right," said Jimena, "well chica's, why don't we go find this Alex and talk to her. I think the Atrox is trying to get at her so that she is no longer tied to the moon."

"That'd explain a lot of stuff," said Jennifer.

They all sat there in thought for a while and finished off their bags of popcorn when Vanessa finally spoke up, "Why don't we just go to sleep right now and then go find Alex tomorrow."

"Okay, night!" said Jennifer, and then she plopped down and fell asleep. The others soon followed.

It was a long night for the daughters and an even longer day ahead. They had to make sure they slept well just incase they had to fight tomorrow. Jennifer woke up in the middle of the night to see a shadow drift over their sleeping bodies, she froze and didn't move. She kept her eyes half open, but from up there they'd look completely closed. She listened to see if she could pick up any thoughts. She got some, but they were fuzzy all she could get was 'You daughters will be mine someday' and then it trailed off into a fuzzy static sound. Once the shadow went out of the window Jennifer moved. She new it was someone from the Atrox, they had found out where Vanessa lived. Jennifer sat up and looked around to see if any of the other daughters were awake.

"Uh… guys. Are any of you awake?" Jennifer asked. She got no reply, so she just lay there and tried to sleep. After a long while, she finally fell asleep.

Vanessa was the first to wake up. She grabbed pillows that were on her bed and threw them at the others. Jennifer had just woken up, but hadn't moved so when a pillow came and hit her she picked it up and threw at back at Vanessa. When the other pillows hit the other daughters they all did the same as Jennifer and then got up and stretched.

"Come on lazy heads, get up!" exclaimed Vanessa.

"I'm hungry, can we eat?" asked Jimena.

"Yeah, as soon as all of you get your butts out of bed and downstairs," said Vanessa as she started to walk out of her bedroom door, "Coming?"

"Yeah," they all said in unison, they had a habit of doing that now.

One by one they got up and headed down the stairs. Once they all got down, Vanessa grabbed some cereal boxes from a cupboard, "What kind do you guys want?" she asked.

"Fruitloops!" exclaimed Jennifer, "sorry, just my mom never buys cereal with a lot of sugar."

Tianna laughed at Jennifer, "I'll just have the same as Jennifer."

"Me too," said Jimena. The other daughters all agreed to Fruitloops too.

Vanessa started to put the other cereals back into the cupboard. She laughed at the fact that they all chose the same cereal. Good thing her mom had bought two boxes or else she probably would have run out. Vanessa started to pass around bowls and then the cereal. She passed one box one way and the other box the other way. Each daughter filled her bowl, once the boxes reached Vanessa again, she had to finish off what was left of the two boxes.

"Uh Vanessa, I think were going to need some milk," giggled Catty while looking at her dry cereal.

"Good thinking," laughed Vanessa while she got up and grabbed the milk, once she got back she poured some milk into her bowl and passed it to Catty.

Catty grabbed the milk and poured her milk and passed the milk to Jimena who was sitting beside her.

"Thank you," said Jimena as she poured her milk and passed it on to Serena. Serena took her share and passed it to Jennifer who poured and passed it to Vanessa who finished it off.

"Lets dig in, shall we," said Jennifer who had a mouthful of cereal in her mouth.

One by one they finished eating, each going up, taking a shower, and getting dressed. Once they were ready they headed out, they needed to find Alex.
