Serena and Stanton soared aimlessly through the sky, becoming one with the night. At first Serena clung tightly to Stanton, afraid she might fall. She hated heights. But after a while, she relaxed a little, enjoying the soft breeze that was passing through them.

Stanton slowed, and they floated back towards the ground. When they landed, Serena could see that he had brought her to Mac Arthur Park. He led her to a bench and set her down gently. Then he slid one arm around her waist, and pulled her to him. He tenderly turned her head and kissed her lips softly. She shivered as his hand brushed through her hair.

"Stanton, what did you want to tell me?" Serena asked, looking into his eyes.

Stanton sighed, brushing his shaggy bangs away from his eyes. " Look, Serena. I don't know about you, but ever since that battle…I don't know. I just can't stop thinking about you."

"Ohh…Really?" Serena said, trying to mask her excitement. She had never expected him to like her too.

"Yeah," he said, smiling down at her. He had caught her excitement, and she blushed.

"Me too," she confessed.

He kissed her again, pulling her closer. After a few minutes, he pulled away. "I should take you home," he said.

"Umm…ok," she agreed, disappointed. Stanton pulled her against him, and he melted them into shadow.


Serena laid in her bed, thinking about what had happened that night, mainly Stanton. A smile crossed her lips just thinking of him.

He had taken her home from the park, and they had materialized on her balcony. He had asked her to meet him at Planet Bang on Friday. She agreed. Then he kissed her one last time, and disappeared into the night.

She suddenly sat up in bed. What was she doing? He was a follower, and there was no way she could trust him. This must be a plot to seduce her to the Atrox. She sighed. How had she let herself go this far?

She lay back down. She would figure this out in the morning. Serena rolled over, and fell into a restless sleep.


Wednesday morning Serena walked across the La Brea High campus. She was early, so she sat under a shady tree near the soccer field. She was exhausted, because most of last night she had been thinking about Stanton. She decided that she had to tell Stanton they couldn't see each other anymore. How she was going to, she didn't know. But she knew she had to do it on Friday at Planet Bang.

Serena took out some work to do while she waited for her friends to arrive. She felt a shadow come across her. She looked up. It was Jerome.

"Hey Serena," Jerome said brightly. Go away, she thought.

"Hi," she replied, returning to her work.

"What's up?" he asked. It apparently didn't bother him she had ditched him for another guy.

"Just finishing some up some homework," she said.

"Cool. So, I wanted to see if maybe you'd like to come to my party on Friday," he asked, a little self consciously.

"Um, no, sorry. I already got plans. See ya," she said quickly walking away. She could tell he was disappointed, but she didn't want to stick around.

Just then, Catty and Vanessa ran up to her. "Serena! Were you just talking to Jerome? How'd it go with you guys last night?" Catty asked excitedly.

"Um, nothing really happened," said Serena unexcitedly.

"Come on! You mean nothing happened? Nothing?" she asked again.

"Nothing happened," she repeated.

"Aren't you going to his party on Friday?" Vanessa asked.

"No, I'm not," said Serena, getting irritated. "I got to get to class," she stated, and walked off before they could say another word.


The day passed uneventfully. At lunch she talked with her friends, but the conversation was strained. All they wanted to do was ask her about Jerome, which was a subject that she didn't really want to talk about.

"Are you sure nothing happened?" Vanessa asked for the millionth time.

"Yes! I'm absolutely, positively sure!" she practically yelled. She guessed they got the picture, because they all fell into an awkward silence.

"So, um, what do you guys want to do this weekend?" asked Vanessa tentatively.

"We could go to Planet Bang," Catty suggested.

"No!" Serena burst out. They all looked at her questioningly. "I mean we always go to Planet Bang. We should try something else," she suggested. They all agreed timidly, because they didn't want to cross her when she was irritated.

"We can talk about it later," Serena said. Then she excused herself to the library, claiming she had to finish a paper for English. She walked across the cafeteria, and through the double doors into the hallway. Then she made a left and walked through the glass doors to the library. When she got in, she was met with an eerie silence as she saw various students, hunched over books or papers, reading quietly. She quickly made her way into one of the aisles, which shelves were stacked with encyclopedias and thick books. It was in a dark secluded area, where she could take some time to think in private. She picked up a book and pretended to read, just in case someone walked by.

Suddenly she saw a shadow move stealthily through the corner. She knew it must be a follower. She slowly crept toward it, to get a better glimpse of it, her moon amulet glowing softly. Then Stanton stepped out of the shadows.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in shock, taking a few quick steps back.

"I wanted to see you," he said, his eyes glowing yellow. She edged toward the bookcase, looking for a way out. Was he going to try to cross her over?

"No," he said, answering her thoughts.

"Then why are you here?"

"I wanted to see you," he repeated.

"Listen, we can't do this," she started. But he quickly moved forward, and grabbed her so she couldn't back away anymore.

"What-" she started to ask him, but he cut her off with a kiss. She started to fall into it, but then abruptly pulled away.

"Stanton. We can't do this. It's wrong." she started again. Surprisingly, he pulled back a little, and let her talk. "What would other people think?" She hadn't expected him to listen, so she didn't really know what to say.

"Then don't tell them," he said softly.

"I can't… We can't-" But he stifled her with another kiss. Ok...Whatever you say, she thought dreamily, falling into his arms. They continued for a few minutes, but then the bell rang.

See you Friday… he whispered into her mind. Then he turned into shadow, and he was gone.

No! she thought. How was he doing this to her? How could she desire someone so evil so much? He must be hypnotizing her or something. There was no way a guy could have that much control over her. Or could there? No… she thought. She was just going to have to resist him. She could do that. Of course she could. Could she?
