Serena stood in the long leading into Planet Bang. She tapped her foot impatiently against the sidewalk, and sighed. She had told her friends she would meet them at Vanessa's house for a sleep over. She was only here to talk to Stanton.
The line finally started moving, and she was in. Different colored lasers flashed, and people danced wildly all around her. She wanted to find Stanton as soon as possible, because if she took too long, her friends would badger her about it and ask where she was.
After walking around the dance floor, she still hadn't spotted him, so she walked to the back of the club where loners and stoners hung out (I can rhyme!). As she made her way towards the shadowy corner, she accidentally bumped into someone. She turned to apologize, but stopped when she saw the person.
"Goddess," Tymmie sneered at her. "And all alone too. Where are your little friends?" he asked, coming closer to her. But before she could back away, he grabbed her and pulled her closer. He looked down at her body, taking his time. She blushed, wishing her outfit wasn't as revealing. She was wearing a short leather mini, and a tight shirt showing off her bear midriff.
He was dressed in all black, and his eyebrow piercing showed in lasers when they flashed by. She tried not to stare in his eyes, but he caught them. She could feel him pulling her into a trance.
Unexpectedly, she felt him let her go from his grip. Then she slowly came to, and looked up to see why he had released her. When she looked up, she was surprised to see Stanton, who was arguing with Tymmie in a low voice. She was still dazed, so she didn't pick up on what they were saying. Finally she started making out what they were talking about.
"I'll take her," said Stanton, in a warning tone.
"Why do you get to cross her over? I found her!" Tymmie said angrily. Stanton must have done something to his mind, because Tymmie just scratched his head, and slowly walked away.
When he was gone, Stanton turned to her. "Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?" Serena was surprised at how caring he sounded.
"I do care, Serena," he said, answering her thoughts. "Let's go dance," he suggested, and pulled her to the center of the dance floor. He pulled her closer, and they moved together with the beat. After a few minutes she pulled him off the dance floor.
"We need to talk," she yelled over the blasting music. He considered her for a moment, and then nodded. "Let's go outside," she said. He nodded again, then wrapped his arm around her waist and led her outside. Surprised by his sudden touch, she blushed.
When they were outside, he took her towards a shady tree, and led her under it. Then he pulled her toward him, and kissed her lips softly. She suddenly pulled away.
"Stanton. We shouldn't do this. It's wrong," she said. She didn't look in his eyes, afraid she would get lost in them. He tried to pull her into another kiss, but she resisted. "Stanton," she said in a warning tone. He backed off of her a little, then sighed and pushed his bangs away from his eyes.
"Do you really want to stop seeing each other?" he asked.
"Yes," she said weakly. He could tell she wasn't telling him the truth.
"You're lying," he said. He tried to pull him to her again, and this time she didn't resist. He kissed her lips softly, and then intensified it. Her heart raced as she felt his tongue trace across hers. She couldn't resist him any longer. She let herself fall into it, loving the feeling of his arms wrapping around her.
She pulled away suddenly, remembering her friends were expecting her. But at the same time she wanted to stay with Stanton. He smiled down at her. "Do you want me to take you?" he asked. She nodded. Him taking her was better than taking the bus. She leaned against him, and they disappeared into shadow.
"Where have you been? It's been like, an hour," Vanessa, said annoyed.
Serena had just arrived at Vanessa's house. The other girls had started without her. Pizza had already been ordered, and they were in the middle of watching Scary Movie 2 on Comedy Central.
"Sorry, Collin said he'd give me a ride, but then he had to do something, so I had to wait for the bus." Serena lied quickly.
"Su hermano es tan estupido," muttered Jimena under her breath. Serena just rolled her eyes, wishing that Jimena would stop pretending that she didn't like Collin.
Vanessa's mom walked in, different kinds of bright fabrics clutched in her arms. "You girls be good. I have to go to work, and I'll be back around 1:30. Don't stay up too late," she warned with a smile. "And Vanessa. No Boys!"
"Mom!" Vanessa groaned.
"I'm serious!" she said walking to the door. "Have fun girls," she added walking down the steps to the sidewalk. The girls all waved, and then closed the door.
"So what do you guys wanna do?" asked Vanessa.
"Let's watch Scary Movie 2! It's the part where the skeleton is chasing them," said Catty. They all gathered in front of the TV, eating popcorn and pizza. The other girls would all burst out laughing at the movie, but not Serena. She was too busy daydreaming about Stanton.
"¿Es usted aceptable? Are you okay?" asked Jimena, noticing she wasn't paying attention to the movie.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine," responded Serena.
"Esto está agujereando. This is boring. We should go out or something." stated Jimena.
"Where would we go?" asked Catty, briefly looking up from the TV.
"I heard about this club in Hollywood. Será diversion. It will be fun." Jimena suggested.
"Sure," Vanessa shrugged.
"Can we use the clothes your Mom designed?" asked Catty hopefully.
"Sure. Let's go get changed,"
Jimena drove them all to the club. She pulled into the parking lot, and they all got out.
"Ugh. There's a line," groaned Catty. She was wearing a light green sundress with her hair curled and glossy.
"But it's not that long," said Vanessa, twirling a strand of her blonde hair between her fingers. She was wearing a light blue cropped top and faded jeans.
They all got in line and waited. "So what's this place called anyway?" asked Serena, clicking her black heels against the sidewalk.
"The Dungeon," said Jimena.
"That's a cool name," Catty put in. In less than five minutes, they were in. They all went to the center, and started dancing. Jimena put her hands on Serena's hips, and Serena lifted her hands over head. They all moved in time with the beat. After a while, Serena excused herself to go get a drink. She moved through the crowd, trying to find the concession stand. She scanned over the people, but she couldn't find it. She looked down, and noticed her amulet glowing. Followers were probably around.
She wanted to go to her friends, but didn't see them. She looked towards the back of the club, but there was only a couple making out.
She turned around and scanned the dance floor for her friends, but they were nowhere to be found. Serena sighed and glanced back toward the corner where the couple was making out. But something seemed strange about them. The guy, who had his back turned toward her, was just standing there. He had shaggy blonde hair and it seemed a dark aura was radiating off him. And the girl was also just standing there, a glazed look in her eyes. With a jolt Serena realized that it was follower crossing someone over. Springing into action, Serena quickly made her way towards the two. But before she could get there, someone roughly grabbed her shoulders, practically shoving her toward the ground. When she regained her balance, she looked up into the menacing eyes of Karyl, who was soon joined by Tymmie.
"How nice of you to join us, goddess," Karyl sneered. Before Serena could take a step back, Tymmie grabbed her and forced her to look in his eyes. He was too quick for her, and she felt herself falling into a trance. She swayed, and passed out in Tymmie's arms.
Stanton shook his head and sighed. He couldn't believe it, but he actually felt guilty about crossing someone over. He looked down at the girl before him. She seemed a bit dazed, but her eyes were definitely glowing yellow. Cassandra came over to them and took the girl by the arm. She pulled her onto the crowded dance floor, trying to blend her in with all the people there. She quickly glanced back at Stanton, giving him a weird look.
Stanton tried to enjoy the ecstasy he felt from the cross over, but guilt flooded his thoughts. That pretty much ruined the rest of his night.
He walked around the dance floor at the Dungeon, trying to find Tymmie and Karyl. He had told them to stay around him, and make sure no one interfered with him crossing over the girl. All of a sudden he had a bad feeling, but he didn't know what it was about, or why he had it. He suddenly wished he was back at the flat where he lived with the rest of his Hollywood Followers. After he had dropped Serena off at her friend's house he had convinced Cassandra, Tymmie, and Karyl to come here to the Dungeon.
He sighed again. I must be going soft, he thought to himself. How could he feel guilty? He had crossed over hundreds of people. He never thought much about it. That was just what Followers did. But he knew why he felt guilty. It was Serena. Even though she knew that all Followers had to cross people over, she would probably be hurt knowing what he had just done.
Serena…he thought, smiling. He didn't know why he liked her. At first he was disgusted with himself for even thinking of her as anything more than an enemy. But after that first battle, she was never far from his mind. He didn't understand his feelings for her, but no one had ever made him feel the way she did. For sometime now he had been wondering if he would be with Cassandra. She practically worshipped him. But he had never really had a real connection with her. She was simply just a girl he had crossed over and was now training.
He decided to get the rest of his Followers and the girl he just crossed over and go back the flat. He walked towards the back of the club, thinking of Serena the whole way.
Cassandra dragged the newest member of their Follower group across the dance floor towards the exit. She couldn't wait to get out of here and go home. Then she would have time to think.
She glanced back at the girl. She was tall, blonde, and very pretty. She was wearing a light pink sundress and matching heels. Cassandra turned back around and scowled. The girl reminded her of herself before Stanton had crossed her over. Even though she was dazed, the girl had the impression of perfection: popular, a good student, lots of friends, and a good family; basically the perfect life. That was how Cassandra was before she had been crossed over. She often missed her old life, being so carefree. Only worrying about school, boys, and regular teen stuff. Now she had much more darker things to worry about.
But she could never blame Stanton. He had just been doing his job, crossing her over. Even though she missed her old life, she didn't completely hate her life now. She didn't have to worry about school, and she got to spend time with Stanton. She was pretty sure she was in love with Stanton. Well, maybe not love. Followers were incapable of love. She just knew she really, really liked him. She worshipped him. Someday he will be mine, she promised herself.
Jimena was starting to get worried. It had been 15 minutes since Serena had left to get a drink. And she had promised to be right back. Maybe she ran into someone she knew and was just talking. Maybe she had run into Jerome. All kinds of 'maybes' ran through her head. But she had a sinking feeling that something had happened.
She suddenly remembered her premonition about Stanton. What if Stanton had gotten to Serena? She didn't like that thought at all. She started looking through the crowd, trying to get a glimpse of Serena, but no avail. She was so flustered she wasn't paying attention to where she was walking, and accidentally bumped into someone.
"Lo siento! I'm sorr-" she said, but was cut off when she saw who it was.
"Jimena! I thought you were at a sleepover with Serena!" a very flustered Collin said.
"We all decided to come here. But what are you doing here?" she asked, completely forgetting about Serena.
"I'm here with some of my friends," Collin said. Jimena just stared at him stupidly, noticing how nice he looked in his tight, black wife beater. His lips and nose had no traces of zinc oxide like they usually did, and his blonde hair was combed nicely, shining in the light. Just as she was about to get lost in the smell of his spicy cologne, he surprised her.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked kind of shyly. She blushed and nodded, walking to the dance floor. Just as they started dancing, she had a feeling she was supposed be remembering something, but the feeling disappeared just as quickly when she felt his strong arms ease around her waist.
Catty sighed as she sat down at an empty table near the dance floor. It seemed as if everyone else had a boyfriend. Well, except for her. Vanessa had Michael. Even though Serena denied it, she would eventually get Jerome. And if she wasn't mistaken she had just seen Jimena dancing with Collin. But Catty had no one. She didn't want to need a guy to make her happy, but she couldn't help it. Whenever she would see her friends with guys, they always were happy. She wanted to be happy. She deserved to be just as happy as everyone else, right?
She wanted to go dance, but she wanted to dance with someone else, too. Vanessa was with Michael, and Jimena was with Collin, so that left Serena, since Catty was pretty sure Jerome wasn't here tonight. She got up and started to scan the crowd for Serena. She remembered she had gone off a little while before to get a drink. So where was she now? She turned around to go check the concession stand. She searched through the crowd, but she was nowhere to be found. Where could she be? Catty thought.
Stanton had been looking for Tymmie and Karyl for a long time now. He was starting to get aggravated. He just wanted to home. Before, he had found Cassandra and the new girl and told them to wait by the car. Then he had come back in to find the other two. After about another fifteen minutes, he scanned the room with his mind, but he couldn't find any of their thoughts. He decided to go wait at the car. He walked into the parking lot towards the car.
But when he got to the car, he was surprised to find Tymmie and Karyl waiting there already. And it seemed there was another there two. Tymmie was holding an unconscious girl in his arms.
Stanton didn't feel like questioning them about the girl right now, he was too tired. Without speaking he got into the driver's seat, and the others piled in the car also. He drove to the flat, got out, and quickly fled to his room, hoping no one, especially Cassandra, would come to talk to him. He changed into other clothes to sleep in. He heard the others drop the unconscious girl in Tymmie and Karyl's room. He got into his bed, and as soon as his head hit the pillow, he drifted into a restless sleep.
