At Maggie's, the five Daughters introduced her to Jennifer. Maggie stared at her necklace, knowing what it meant.
Jennifer had the strangest feeling. She felt that she could tell this woman anything even though they had just met. After having some of the tea Maggie offered, she found herself telling them all about herself, about her strange talent to change shape, about the dream she'd had since she could remember, te one where she saw Selene and the shadow.
When she was done, Maggie decided to tell this child everything about the daughters and about Jennifer herself. "The Daughters of the Moon are girls with gifts given to them by Selene. Tu es dea, filia lunae. You are a goddess, a Daughter of the Moon. But you are different than these five. You were born of the Atrox, the Daughters enemy, and a goddess. You are faced with a difficult choice; join the Daughters, as Selene is asking of you, or join the Atrox and its Followers, which is what the shadow in your dream means."
"Is that why my necklace is different form their's?" Jennifer asked.
"Yes. When you make your choice, it will either turn all black if you choose the Atrox or all silver if you choose the Daughters."
"What if I choose neither? Then what?"
"Then you will forget everything and never have to worry about this again."
"I see. How long do I have until I have to decide?"
"I don't know. It could be a month, a week, a hour."
"Ok. I have to go. I'll see you guys tomorrow."
Jennifer went home to think about what they had just told her. She couldn't believe it, yet somehow knew everything was true. She would have to think long and hard about her decision.
