Vol. 1
Chapter 4
Selina and Luna continue to walk home until Luna stopped at a supermarket. "Wait, Selina."
"You're gonna do some shopping?"
"Have you seen what's in that fridge of yours?"
"I don't think there's anything in that junk."
"Exactly! Nothing, probably all you have left in there is a stick of butter."
"You don't have to fill up my fridge, alright?"
"Please, this is the least I can do as your Watcher, and anyways you need to keep healthy and strong if you want to win against your enemies."
"Of course."
"Why do you always hang out with that boar hunter?"
"Because he's a nice guy to hang out with and why do you keep calling him a boar hunter, I don't think he has the time to hunt down pigs!"
"Well, that's what his name mean. Wilbur = boar and Jager = Hunter. Most likely he is the reincarnation of Meleager, who is also a boar hunter ruled by the Goddess Diana, like you. What a coincidence." Luna bought a bag full of veggies and fruits, and continue to walk on home with Selina following.
"Who's cooking dinner?"
"You are!"
"What? I don't even know how to cook Mac & Cheese!"
"Then I'll teach you. You need to at least learn the basics of cooking when you are on your own." Selina accepted the challenge looking forward on what's going to be on her plate.
The next day in the college, Selina arriving on time and actually having the time to go to her locker to get what she needs, and Ellie being with her during the process. "Did Manny said anything to you?"
"About what?"
"About him liking you."
"What? Sure."
"Well, he is innocent so he's too shy to say anything."
"Selina, let's go on a date!" yelled out Manny from behind, dressed in a formal wear with an attitude all over his face.
"Well hello, looking sharp are we?" greeted Selina.
"Is there a reason why you have to where that monkey suit?" asked Ellie.
"Who cares what I wear? Selina, let's go on a date right now." Manny came closer to Selina.
"Are you feeling well?" Selina looked confused.
"You've gotten brave all of the sudden." said Ellie.
"Manny Volk, what's with the monkey suit?" yelled Mrs. Lenz.
"What did I say?" said Ellie to Selina. Manny went into his bag and took out a piece of chewing gum, put it into his mouth started to chew on it vigorously and blew a giant bubble in front of Mrs. Lenz's face.
"Manny, What are you thinking?" asked their teacher. Manny walked past Mrs. Lenz, put his hand under her skirt and flipped it up revealing her white panties.
"I'm thinking of this!" Manny answered and walking on with a laugh. Mrs. Lenz's face went beet red.
"Oh my goodness! I hope no one saw that!" Lenz freaked, the other two girls were as shocked as her. During class time, Manny interrupts the class by constantly laughing while reading comics. Every student in class just sat and watched him continuously being immoral. As Mrs. Lenz is trying to write on the chalk board she turned around in steam and walked up to Manny. "That is enough!" she walked on and she all of the sudden fell onto the floor. She looked around to see what she tripped over and found out it was a leg of another student, purposely sticking out. "What are you doing?" she asked the student getting frustrated of the situation.
"Mrs. Lenz, you are supposed to walk quietly in the classroom." he respond.
"What did you say?" Mrs. Lenz was shocked of what's happening. Selina stared on in confusion trying to figure out why they were reacting this way. After class, Selina and Ellie met at the college's parkette to see if they can figure out the strange behaviour. Ellie told Selina of Manny's outing the other night.
"What? Manny went to the 'House of Fortune'?" Selina is confused.
"Yeah. I told him about it. I think the other student went too." mentioned Ellie. Both of them heard broken glass not far from where they were standing.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" yelled out a teacher as he opened the broken window to see the commotion. He saw an incoming rock aimed right at him, he quickly closed the window and the rock hit the window breaking it even more.
"You don't have much of a brain. So stop acting like you're better than us!" protested Manny, holding a rock he whipped the rock to the same window.
"That's right!" said the other student. Manny and a group of four other guys are all throwing rocks at the window of the staffs' office. The group seems to be enjoying of what they were doing. Standing outside of the college, Lytir watched the commotion. He held up a tarot card that's attracting energy and sucking it in.
"Keep on making trouble, boys!" he said. Beyond in the shadows, Jason is gathering the energy from Lytir into a great orb. The rebellious energy of the young.
Selina and Ellie ran to the direction of the sound and witness a the chaotic mess. "What are you doing?" yelled out Selina.
"What's with you guys?" same with Ellie.
"Well, Selina..." responded Manny.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Selina. Manny grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him.
"You wanna kiss?" Manny is being creepy by holding onto Selina, she tried to escape from his grasp, but instead she nailed him with her knee where it hurts.
"Get away from me, you bastard! I don't like you when you're like this! Anybody else want's to have a try?" Selina exploded. Manny ended up on the ground holding himself and the other guys backed off and walked away in disgust. Manny did the same once he pulled himself together. "Let's get out of here guys." Once they were out of sight, Luna was outside of the school watching the commotion that's been happening.
"I feel some kind of dark energy from those men." she said. Ellie was amazed of Selina's backbone.
"Selina, I think you scared them off."said Ellie
"Oh, I feel so much better after that." Selina smiled, Ellie laughed it off. After school Selina walked home with Luna by her side. Selina was thinking of the event that happened earlier. Manny and the others just left. What was he thinking?
"Selina, it seems something evil has been causing these incidents." Luna spoke.
"So, Manny and the others...They're probably being under controlled. The 'House of Fortune' is suspicious. The guys have been weird ever since they went to the 'House of Fortune'."
"That's great! Good job finding that out."
"Give me a discount on the rent as a reward."
"In your dreams! Let's go fight them off."
"What? Fight again? I'm going to be killed one of these days."
"What are you talking about? Come on!" The two reached to the 'House of Fortune' and went inside an alley beside the building. Luna keep an eye out to see if anybody was coming. "Okay, I'll go first. Upon the Rule of the Moon, Grant Me your Power!" Luna transform into a black wolf under a flash of gold light. "Alright, now it's your turn. Transform into Guardian of the Moon.."
"Do I have to?" Selina plead.
"Yes, you have to."
"Alright, um...Let's see. I forgot what I'm suppose to say."
"It's 'Upon the Rule of Diana, Lend me Your Light!'."
"Oh yeah! OK here goes nothing. Upon the Rule of Diana, Lend me Your Light!"
Meanwhile, in the 'House of Fortune', Lytir held a meeting with the controlled people with glowing tarot cards in their left side of their chest. "Everyone, you did very well. Now I'll have you wreak havoc in town."
"Alright!" agreed Manny.
"Sounds like fun!" said the other.
"What's worse than old men being envious of youth and popularity, are those that think nothing of peoples' feelings." a voice came from the entrance of the building.
"Who's there?" asked Lytir. The doors swung open with a burst of white light with Selina transformed into the Guardian of the Moon.
"I'm a warrior of the hunt and moon. I'm Guardian of the Moon!"
"Guardian of the Moon?"
"Under the name of Diana, I will defeat you!"
Lytir took a deck of tarot cards and started to shuffle them Vegas style, than he fling them at Selina. She dodge them and landed on the floor, the cards were sticking out of the walls. One flew by her face. "Hey, watch where you throw your cards!" Selina yelled in fury. Luna popped out in the corner wall.
"You don't have time for that."
"Why don't you give it a try?"
"Get her!" Lytir commanded his troublemakers to attack. Selina started to panic,
"Alright guys, why don't we just settle this like normal people?" the troublemakers started to march towards her. Selina started to run from them, they started to run too creating a chase. "If you get any closer, I will hurt you!" the troublemakers came closer inch by inch and she backed up to the wall giving her no more room to run. "I'm a goner!" All of a sudden, a bunch of leaves crashed into Lytir's face causing him to lose control of his minions. Selina just stood there wondering what just happened. She waved her hand in front of there faces, no reaction.
"Another intruder? Who's there?" while he clears his face, he looks for the one who smashed his face. The Guardian of the Earth stood right by the door smiling at Lytir.
"It's you from before." said Selina
"Don't ever give up no matter how hard it is." he said
"Easy for you to say!"
"Good-bye. We'll meet again." and swoop out the door, vanished in sight.
"You're leaving me! Come back!" Selina being distracted, Lytir comes charging in with energy beams taking form of claws. Selina turned around and saw whats coming, she leaped into the air causing the claws to crash onto the floor. Lytir dragged the claws creating grooves on the floor. "Holy crap! That would have hurt!"
"Why don't you blind the enemy and then you can use the discus?" recommended Luna.
"I knew that!"
Lytir took charge again with the claws coming towards Selina. Before he got there, Selina cast her defense, "Blinding Moonlight, Shine!" Lytir stopped at his tracks trying to have visual of his enemy but no luck. Selina grabbed the discus and yelled out the words "Silver Moon Watch My Aim!" aimed it at Lytir. On impact, Lytir slowly disintegrated into a pile of dust with a tarot card landing right on top of the heap. Beyond in the shadows, the orb of energy that Jason collected vanished again.
"Lytir, you failed." Jason was not pleased. Selina and Luna stared at the pile of dust disappear, at the same time the tarot cards that were in the troublemakers' shirts floated in the air, at the snap of Selina's fingers the cards dropped.
"Yes!" she exclaimed. The boys were back to normal not knowing what had happen then and before. Selina head to the door and turned to the guys. "Take care, boys!" and left them behind.
The next morning, Manny was walking to college with Ellie and she told him everything of the previous day. For how shocked he was he dropped his bag.
"What? I flipped Mrs. Lenz's skirt?"
"And you tried to kiss Selina. Then you broke the window of the staffs' office..." Ellie wasn't helping. Manny started to walk in the opposite direction of the college. "Hey, where are you going?" she asked.
"Saving what's left of my dignity." As Manny continue to walk, Selina butt in.
"Good Morning, Manny!" Manny yelped at the sound of her voice.
"Selina! Uh...about yesterday..."
"Don't worry about it!"
"You're right! I shouldn't worry about it. You're okay when you get bad grades on your tests after all. I need to be more like you." Manny turned around and went back to his original destination.
"The bastard doesn't even know the trouble I go through." Selina said under her breath, then the church bell rang 9:00. "Oh shoot!" she ran for mercy until she tripped over her own foot.
