Hola, this is just me replacing the chapter but with more added on. Soothe beginning is old and the end is new so if you already read ch.4 just start reading at Stanton's POV. Okay.

I just wanted to acknowledge all the people reading this now and the AWESOME reviewers, I love you. Just kidding but it makes my day to hear from you guys. Also for putting up with the pointless chapter where I got out my anger at Lynne Ewing (doesn't mean that I'm not still pissed off), nevertheless I think removing Tianna is a good idea along with changing the Kyle in my story to Adam Cain to save some confusion. Though I'm still deciding on the Tianna thing, please give me some ideas on that topic, until then Tianna is not going to appear much and will be able to be removed. Or this story will be based before book 12. And yes Stanton still may sound OOC in this chapter and a few others, and the storyline will be moving faster than I had intended.

Disclaimer: Since I haven't done one of these pointless things in awhile, here it is: I don't anything in the Daughters of the Moon series except Adam and the plot, Lynne Ewing does (cough stupid cough evil cough creative cough bitch cough) and I'm not at all condemnatory or hateful towards her for this fact.

"…" Talking

'…' Thoughts

"…" The others thoughts/ talking in mind

Oh yeah, I don't own anything. Ewing does. That...little...stupid... Just kidding.

Chapter Four: The Bluff(all of it) Serena's POV

Serena stretched lazily and began to rub her temples in small circles with her eyes closed as Stanton's black car sped down the windy road of route 1. Shadows Fall was blasting out of the woofers in his trunk 'I want to get out; I'm way too nervous and on edge about what happened the other day. To just unwind so I can tell Stanton my choice.'

"Relax, we're almost there." Stanton reached over, put a hand on her knee, and weaved through her mind trying to push back unhappy memories.

The car swerved over to the side where there was room for a maximum of two cars to park looking over a cliff with a small amount of beach and mostly large boulders or rocks covering the sand, the ocean was smashing up against the rocks creating a spray that could be felt from where they were standing a good thirty feet above.

'Impressive.' Serena looked down from where the gate separated her from the thirty-foot drop onto jagged rocks, it reminded her of both times she jumped off cliffs just like this one. She let out an involuntary shudder, Stanton went up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, sending shivers down her spine as he started kissing her neck.

"Let's go." Stanton said across her thoughts.

'How? There's no path…' It took Serena a second before it clicked. "Oh."

So, in broad daylight Stanton spun her around to face him, pulled her gently closer, and leaned back flowing into a shadow taking Serena with him. When the landed on the rocks Serena didn't want to move and just stayed wrapped up in his arms leaning on his chest. Thirty feet above the car stereo was now blasting a different song, 'Not Living' by Coal Chamber (A.N: from the best of Coal Chamber CD, a must get), a very romantic one and yet still heavy metal.

"Let's walk. So how is school?"

"Fine… well…not really. Some strange kids seemed to have awaked a new past time, keep-track-of-Serena-and-make-her-uncomfortable-by-staring-at-her. I don't get it. It's seems that all they do is stare."

Stanton cocked an eyebrow and then finally spoke, "Let's see…One, your hot to say the least. Two, they're probably followers. And three, I've been trying to figure this about you lately but your beginning to develop a new aura it's different than what I remember you used to have."

"Okay…I don't know. Furthermore, I needed to tell you something important"

Stanton looked into her eyes and began to stroke the side of her cheek with his thumb, urging her to go on.

"Um…Since I'm turning seventeen in a few weeks…I wanted to tell you my final choice… it…I …I'm going to… "

"Hey, guys! What are you two doing here?" Tianna said cutting Serena's statement off.

Serena looked over and noticed everyone was there, the daughters, her brother, Michael, and Derrick. Serena was mystified, "How did you guys get down here? There's no path unless you walked for at least two m…"

This time she was cut off by a rock falling from where their car was parked. Stanton's eyes flew to the spot. Serena did the same, she didn't see anything but using her mind instead of her eyes she sensed and felt something that she remembered from the incident in her room. Slowly a group of shadows started to appear by the top of the cliff. Stanton eyes turned the strange florescent yellow; her friends were still talking as if they didn't see or sense the danger in the air.

Only one word came to mind as Stanton wrapped his arms protectively around her and pushed her behind him as if to shelter her…

"Shit."

Stanton's POV

"Shit" Stanton heard Serena when she realized what the gathering darkness at the point of the cliff. Stanton was livid, 'what are they doing here? Why are they changing in broad daylight? I told all followers to keep their distance from Serena or face the consequences, why are they disobeying me?' Though his mind was telling him to do one thing 'protect Serena'.

Not caring that Michael or Collin were watching he grabbed her around the waist he began to blend into shadow though, something or someone was preventing her to dissolve. 'Run' he said to Serena so that he could destroy them for what they were causing.

As the daughters, and the three guys began to run the cliff was being torn apart, from the inside out, by these renegade followers, causing the rocks to start shooting, and falling out at odd angles. They looked like they were going to make it to the shadow under the side furthest away from the oncoming battle, that was until one large, brown, and jagged rock flung itself straight towards Serena's ankle without Stanton noticing.

The anklebone shattered on impact, causing her foot to give out underneath her. Serena twisted and fell landing on her back. Letting out a short shriek of pain as she looked down at her foot that now was bent at an impossible angle. The rocks kept falling, now as if they were magnetized to her.

Stanton turned at the sound of the scream and reached her in remarkable time, trying, and failing once more to make them disappear. Looking around for any ideas to get her out without subjecting her to more rocks and danger; Vanessa was becoming far too emotional and panicked that her limbs were going in and out of visibility, Catty, Tianna, or Jimena could be much of help either because of their powers were also not working correctly. And himself, he couldn't just blast these idiots because Serena would get the full force and she was in too much pain to help him.

Doing the only thing he could think of to save her he…

Buh bye, the next chapter is going to be called protection. I'll have it out by Tuesday.

Will Stanton be able to Serena?

How come everyone else is "supposedly" to messed up to help them?

Who threw the rock at her ankle?

Why are the daughters acting so weird?

Who are the followers?

Why am I asking all these questions?

Hmmmmmmm……………………

Love
