The next day, all six girls went to Maggie's. It was there that Jennifer told them about becoming Vanessa to save herself.
"Wow. We can definitely use this to our advantage. If you choose to stay with us," Catty said.
"I do want to stay with you guys. I want to help you defeat the Atrox and I want to watch him die." After she said this, she felt pain right where her necklace was. She groaned. Everyone looked to see it turn from a half moon to a full moon. Once the pain was gone, she looked and saw a minor burn mark. Maggie said that was bound to happen and that she was glad Jennifer had chosen to stay with them.
Jennifer had to leave early to get to her job. After she was gone Jimena asked Maggie, "Why does my necklace glow around her still?"
"Yeah mine too," agreed the rest of them.
"It's because she still has part of the Atrox in her. She wants to watch it die, but it will never fully be gone until she accepts her destiny," Maggie answered.
"Well hasn't she accepted it already?" asked Serena.
"I'm afraid her destiny is not to be with the Daughters. It is to join her father."

In Jennifer's dream, Selene's light defeated the Atrox, but only for a small while. The Atrox came back and instead of trying to devour Selene, it just came in front of her and said, "You have chosen poorly, my daughter. Soon enough, you will embrace your heritage."
She woke up and in front of her was Stanton again. "Please don't try to leave this time. I need to speak to you."
"What do you want?"
"I see you chose the Daughters. You have made your father upset. The Atrox wants you to come home to Nefandus now."
"I can't leave now! Please leave me alone. I have decided and I am sticking with this choice."
"Fine." And he faded away.

Jimena was walking home when she had a premonition. She saw Jennifer standing in the street, the Daughters to her right, the Atrox's Followers to her left. She kept turning her head, looking at both groups. She walked toward the Followers... and her vision ended. She had just seen Jennifer betray them.
