Serena heard the door bell ding. She just finished bringing out the pie from the oven. There were two boxes of pizza on the table and the fridge was filled with drinks. She quickly checked her reflection in the living room mirror and fixed her hair. Then she ran to the door and threw it open.

"Surprise! Happy Birthday!" Anderson and Tabitha screamed in excitement. They were her two best friends. Behind them was Olivia, Jericho, Jordan, Samantha, Natasha and Jayden. Serena screamed in happiness and hugged them all.

"Awwwwnnn, thanks so much guys",Serena told them as they all trooped in. "You guys are the best",she added as she hugged Anderson and Tabitha again. She felt so emotional. "Happy birthday girl",Tabitha said to her, wiping the joyous tears from her eyes. "Now is not the time to cry, you know",Anderson said as he hooked his hand over Serena's shoulder.

"I know, I'm just so excited",Serena said while laughing. "We brought you gifts", Jordan said. He had jet-black hair and dark blue eyes, just like his twin Jericho. "I got you the best gift",Jericho said as he elbowed Jordan out of the way. "That's so not true", Jordan told his twin and a playful argument ensued.

"Ok shut up everyone" Samantha said and the bickering reduced. "Today is specially for our queen bee as she takes a step into adulthood" she continued and everyone laughed. Serena was the youngest in their clique. Jericho and Jordan were nineteen, Anderson would be nineteen in two months. Tabitha was the same age as Serena, but she completed eighteen a few months ago. Olivia, Natasha, Samantha and Jayden were also nineteen, but they completed nineteen some months ago.

"Let's get this party started",Jayden yelled and turned on the music, while everyone else cheered and started partying.

______________________________________

The party ended around five in the evening. Serena collapsed into one of the couches after the cleaning. Her friends had told her to relax and let them help but she declined. She couldn't just let them do everything. Now the house looked spotless.

"Hey birthday girl", Jayden said as he joined Serena on the couch. Serena looked at him and smiled shyly. She has a massive crush on Jayden but didn't know how to tell him. She wasn't the type of girl to come out clean with a boy. So she tried to suppress her feelings.

"Hey",she whispered.

"You look exhausted" Jayden said softly staring into her eyes.

"Not really",Serena said. "I had a wonderful time, thanks to you guys",she added. Jayden smiled, causing Serena's heart to flip. "I'm glad you did",he said. They were both silent for a while, staring at each other.

"I have something to tell you..."

"I think you should know..."

They began at the same time and laughed. "You first", Serena said. She could feel her face becoming warm from the blush.

Jayden took her hand in his and took a deep breath. "I've always wanted to tell you, but I didn't know how to go about it",he began and paused.

"Tell me what?"Serena prompted him, her heart beating fast.

"I like you Serena", Jayden blurted. "I really like you, and I would like to go out with you",he paused again. Serena's eyes widened. She couldn't believe this was happening. She had dreamed of this day since she started crushing on Jayden. "What took you so long to tell me?" she asked.

"I had to wait for the perfect time",Jayden said with a smile. "And your birthday seemed perfect to me",he added. He looked her straight in the eyes now,"Well, will you go out with me Serena? As my girlfriend?" He sounded really nervous.

Serena smiled sweetly at him."Yes Jayden, I will",she whispered. Jayden smiled and drew her into a hug. Soon they were both laughing. Suddenly they heard loud cheers coming from the hall way and Anderson came out with the rest of the squad.

"I can't believe it took Jayden three years to tell Serena he liked her",Olivia said while they all laughed. "Wait, you all knew?" Serena asked bewildered. Tabitha sat down and smiled at Serena, "Of course we knew. We didn't wanna ruin it for Jayden"

"And we all know you were crazy about Jayden but didn't know how to tell him",this came from Anderson. Serena turned red instantly,"Shut up dork",she laughed and covered her face in embarrassment. Now everyone knew she had been crushing on Jayden.

"We're so happy for both of you",Natasha said as she hugged Serena. "That leaves Olivia",Samantha said. Olivia was the only one not in a relationship. Samantha was dating Jordan, Natasha was dating Jericho while Anderson and Tabitha were dating. "I told you guys, I'm not ready" Olivia said while laughing. "When I find one, I'll let you all know about it",she added.

"You better",Serena said, her heart filled with happiness. A phone beeped. It was Jordan."We have to head home now, there's a curfew",he said. They all groaned helplessly. No one wanted to leave. "Let's go to the beach tomorrow", Anderson suggested. They all agreed and promised to text each other. Serena walked them to the door.

"Bye guys, see you tomorrow",she said. "Bye Serena",they all chorused. Jayden stopped and turned to her. He had a way of staring deep into her eyes, causing Serena to feel butterflies in her tummy. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow",he said.

"Yea",Serena whispered back. "I'll text you tonight, before you go to bed",Jayden whispered too and leaned down to kiss her on the cheek. "Come on already lovebirds",Olivia grumbled playfully as they were all waiting for Jayden. Serena laughed as her phone started ringing.

"Could you wait a bit?"she asked shyly. "Of course babe",Jayden said and turned to tell the rest to calm down. As Serena picked the call, she could hear her friends teasing Jayden and calling him funny names. She smiled and shook her head.

"Hello?"she said. A voice squawked at the other end. "Yes this is her". She listened for a while, then she screamed,"Oh no!where are they?" Her friends felt something was off and they rushed out of the car to meet her.

Serena was already crying. "I'm on my way, thank you". She hung up still sobbing. "Serena, what's wrong?" Jayden asked. "Yea, talk to us",Anderson added.

"I have to get to the hospital. My parents were in a car crash", Serena cried out. Jayden suddenly looked serious. "Let's go with you",he said holding her close. That all piled into Anderson's car and headed straight to the General Hospital.

Serena cried all the way. Jayden tried to cheer her up, holding her close and telling her everything would be fine. They got to the hospital in fifteen minutes and Serena rushed inside, with her friends behind her. She met a doctor on her way.

"Doctor?..."she began.

"Miss Serena Williams?He asked. Serena nodded. " I'm very sorry, but we couldn't save them",the doctor said. "They died on the spot",he added. Serena felt herself go numb. She slid to the ground in despair. She could see her friends, their mouths moving but she couldn't hear a single word. She heard someone screaming and she realized she was the one. The hospital ward started to fade off and she passed out.

    Serena woke up with a start. It was daylight. She sat up in bed, looking around frantically. This wasn't her room. Where was she? She threw the covers off her legs and stood up. Just then, the door opened and a doctor walked in holding a chart. Serena remembered him from yesterday. He was the one that gave her the sad news about her parents. "Good thing you're awake miss. I'm Dr. Lampam. You passed out from shock yesterday",the doctor said. "My condolences miss Serena". " Thank you doctor. Am I free to go now?"Serena asked quietly. The doctor checked her pulse and temperature and scribbled something in the chart he was holding. " Yes you can. Your friends are outside, they've settled the bills",Dr. Lampam said. "Thank you doctor",Serena said again and walked out. She met her friends in the sitting area in the hallway. They all rushed to meet her. Anderson drew her into a big bear hug and patted her back. "We're all here for you Rena. I'm so sorry this happened",he said.

    "Will you be okay by yourself?" Jayden asked in a worried tone. "I could stay if you want, my mom would understand". It was evening time and he didn't want to leave her side. Serena drew him close and hugged him,"I'll be fine Jay. I just need to tidy up some things. Tell Anderson and the squad that I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the beach with them". "They'll understand",Jayden said. He squeezed her softly before releasing her. "I'll text you later",he said. Serena nodded and watched him leave. She shut the door and leaned on it. It was going to be difficult; arranging her parent's room. Her foster parents room. Serena didn't understand why the people she called her parents all these years would keep a secret like that from her. If only they were here to answer her numerous questions. Tears filled her eyes again as she realized she missed them so much. She was about to go into her parents room to begin her chores when she heard the door bell ding. Thinking it was Jayden who

    It was late in the evening when Logan Michaelson alighted from the limo with a deep frown. He hated using the limo in travelling. He preferred the private jet but his wife had insisted on the limo, saying she didn't want them to draw attention to themselves. He helped his wife down and they walked down the pathway to their mansion. He wasn't in a good mood. He couldn't believe his daughter chose her friends over her family. He understood she was upset because she didn't know the entire truth. "What's wrong darling? Still thinking about our daughter?",Isabel asked as they entered the large hallway. The maids came quickly and took their coats off them. "I just can't imagine why she didn't come with us. We're her family",Logan said. "She's still hurt dad",Xavier said. "I would be if I were in her place",he added. Xavier understood why his sister chose to remain. She was hurt, and she was going through a lot. "Relax dear", Isabel said to her husband. "Let's give her

    Xavier's eyelids twitched violently as he tried to jerk himself awake. It was happening again. If he didn't wake up soon, he wouldn't be able to control himself when his powers got unleashed. He knew he was having the dreams again and the outcome was never good. He wasn't in control of his body and he was sweating profusely. A blinding white light suddenly shot out of his body in a terrifying wave. It shattered the windows and mirrors in his room and glass pieces flew around the room. The curtains were torn to pieces and a massive crack appeared in the walls. The white light kept glowing brighter and brighter, consuming everything in the room when Xavier suddenly jerked awake. His eyes were totally white and in the blink of an eye, the white light disappeared and his eyes returned to their normal silvery colour. It was morning already. He took in the state of his room and sighed deeply. This always happened when he had the dreams. His inability to control his powe

    Serena got off her bed and headed to the bathroom. She didn't feel too good. The terrible dreams she has been having left her feeling scared, worried and insecure. Her eyes fell on the black card Logan Michaelson left. He was her real father and he had all the answers to her questions. But the stubborn part in her didn't give in to the urge to call him. She didn't need his help. She was fine on her own. Tears pooled in her eyes as she remembered the funeral of her late foster parents. She would miss them forever. Although they never told her the truth about her real parents, she didn't hold any grudge against them. She took a long shower, feeling the warm water soothe her skin and wash away the tiredness. She felt her muscles relaxing and she let out a deep breath. She took out the pretty pink dress her foster mom had gifted her on her birthday and put it on. It clashed strongly with her purple hair but she didn't mind. Then she brushed out her long wavy hair and scooped it into

    Somewhere deep down within the mountains in a secluded part of the forest, three figures in black robes stood around a temple made of hard earth. A sign was etched into the earth and other signs were carved around it. There was a large blue crystal in the middle of the temple and it pulsed with energy. One of the hooded figures retrieved a knife from its robe and slit its palm. Great gouts of black blood poured out and sizzled as it dropped on the earth. Almost instantly, the would healed up. The three figures started chanting a strange spell and blue smoke billowed out from the crystal.The smoke swirled and images could be seen on it. There was a girl with purple hair and silver eyes, and then it changed to another scene where a massive beast prowled around aggressively. It was a lycan. The scene changed again to another where a strong purple light emanated from the purple haired girl. Her eyes were glowing brightly. She seemed to be staring at the hooded figures. Suddenly the smok

    18 years ago...... A woman cried out in pain as she was carried into a room. She was heavily pregnant and it was obvious that she was in labour. Her face was sweaty, her hair damp and she took in harsh breathes as the cramps reduced enough for her to breath. The man who carried her laid her gently on the bed and wiped her sweaty brows with a cool cloth. He turned to the maids standing behind him. "Hurry up and get the Sisters Of The Night. It's almost time",he said and they rushed out. He looked back at the woman as she shut her eyes and bit her lips as another cramp seized her. "Just a little longer my Isabel. The Sisters Of The Night are on their way. Soon we would have our baby" he said. Isabel looked up at him and reached out to touch his face. "Logan",she whispered. Logan took her hand in his and held on. "Incase I don't make it....." "No!" Logan refused. "Don't say such things. You're going to be fine. You and our baby will be perfectly fine.

    Serena sat in deep silence after Logan finished his tale. She was shocked beyond words. She didn't believe that her dad had gone through so much just to keep her safe. She looked into his eyes and knew instantly that he was telling the truth. She thought of her mom;her real mom. She couldn't imagine how the poor woman felt when she woke up and found her daughter gone. "What happened when mom woke up?"she asked softly. Logan felt light-hearted when he heard Serena address Isabel as mom. It meant things were turning out well. "She was hysterical when she woke up. She didn't eat for a week. She only wanted you back in her arms. It took me a long time to persuade her that it was the only way to protect you from the black witches"Logan answered truthfully. "She finally relented and focused on taking care of your brother. She prayed to the moon goddess each day to keep you safe. I almost lost your mother after you were taken away".

    Three years later... Serena sat in the garden behind the house and watched her children play around. Her first son Jack,named after Kendrick's gamma was a spitting image of his father. He had the dark coloured hair of Kendrick with a wide purple streak on the side and her silver eyes. Even in his young age, he was already showing signs of a great warrior. Right now, he was in a playful duel with Rohan, Xavier's son. The two fought with plastic swords and giggled as they ran around the garden, charging at each other, looking so happy and carefree. Jack would sometimes run towards her for safety from his cousin Rohan before running off again. Her eyes followed him around, filled with so much love and pride. She couldn't have asked for a better son. And his twin sister, Anastasia sat beside her in the shade of an apple tree. She chattered to herself as she played with her numerous dolls and mini tea cups and pots. A massive dollhouse was beside her, almost a

    In the end, Serena finally understood why Anastasia told her Kendrick alone would be able to save her from the darkness. Anastasia knew if Kendrick's life was threatened by the darkness, she would do anything to save him. And saving him would in turn save her. She had no idea how the words escaped from her mouth and she told Anastasia so. After banishing the darkness, Anastasia had appeared to Serena to congratulate her for fulfilling the prophecy. "If I had known I only had to speak to the darkness for it to leave me, I would have done that a long time ago",Serena said to her. "And how would you have wielded the sword of death?",Anastasia asked. "Everything that happened was written before time. And it happened for a reason. The darkness needed to be in you so you could use the sword to defeat Andromeda". "Where is she now?",Serena asked. "Her soul has been sent back to the underworld",Anastasia said. "And she won't be barga

    Thunder struck the earth as Serena spun in the air and slammed the sword into Andromeda's chest. Andromeda's eyes widened as she felt the sword sinking deep into her chest. She could feel that it was not an ordinary weapon. It was a weapon of mass darkness, stronger than the one within her. Realization dawned on her. The chosen one had deceived her again. Blood spluttered from her mouth and she stared in shock at Serena who stared back at her with a triumphant look. "How....?",she whispered hoarsely. "You thought you were always a step forward Andromeda",Serena said. "But you never knew when the plans changed behind your back. It's over. Surrender and return to the underworld". Andromeda bared her teeth and gripped Serena's throat. She wouldn't go down without a fight. "IF I'M GOING TO THE UNDERWORLD, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!",she screamed. A dagger appeared in her hand and she raised it to stab Sere

    "Are you sure this would work?",Serena asked after Melody finished explaining her plan. "If Andromeda discovers it, it's over for us. We need to make it foolproof". "Trust me Serena",Melody said. "This will work. Just do according as I tell you to". "Alright",Serena said. She turned towards the door and felt it with her palm. "We just have to find a way to get out of this room". "You could bring it down with your powers",Melody suggested. Serena took a deep breath and focused her spells and energy on the door. Nothing happened. She tried again, this time harder but still nothing. Sweat appeared on her forehead with the amount of energy she was using to bring down the door and yet, nothing happened. "What's wrong?",Melody asked. "I don't know",Serena said breathlessly. She was panting hard with the effort she used on the door. "My spells aren't working". "Could it be because of

    "KILL THEM ALL!",Andromeda screamed to her army. There was an uproar and the black wolves took off, eye gleaming with evil darkness, their fangs dripping with black blood. "ATTACK!",Kendrick yelled and shifted into his enormous beast. He looked different;his fur was mixed with gold and he was larger than his previous size. His eyes burned with silver fire and his claws elongated, ready to tear into his enemies. His fangs throbbed, wanting to bite down and just kill. [Protect the Luna],Leo yelled to the warriors through the mind link. It was a suicide move as Andromeda said. They knew they were greatly outnumbered but still, they chose to fight. Protecting the Luna was their priority and as they said, they would gladly give their lives to protect her. The battle began. The black wolves clashed against the lycans in hot combat. Xavier and Tabitha were not left out. Xavier was fueled with rage as he remembered how Cassie was brutal

    "Jack",Kendrick called in a serious voice. "Take the remaining lycans and form a border around the perimeter. Make sure you all stay within the barrier protecting it. Hold Andromeda back for as long as you can". "Yes Alpha",Jack said. "Wait, what about Leo?", Tabitha asked in a shrill voice. "Where's Leo?". "The Beta stayed back to hold back the witch's dark creatures and give me enough time to escape",Crane said. "But they caught up with me. I was lucky to escape with my life". Tabitha turned instantly and made for the door. "Tabitha wait!",Xavier said and ran after her. He caught her arm and swung her around. "I'm going to find Leo",she said. "Let go off me". Suddenly there was a loud explosion. Men shouted outside and the snarls of a thousand creatures could be heard. "She's here",Serena whispered. "JACK!",Kendrick yelled above the sound of the explosion. "FIND LE

    Leo divided the remaining twenty lycans into three groups. Seven stayed around the hide out in their wolf form, blending with the surroundings and keeping watch over the environment. Six stayed on the trees, also in their wolf form so they could merge with the trees and scout the area from a better height. They were to report immediately to the lycans on the ground if they saw anything strange. The lycans would then report to Jack who would relay the message to the Alpha. They were not to break the chain of communication. The remaining six lycans would follow Leo into the deserted city to observe and possibly figure out the plans of Andromeda. "Be alert warriors",Leo said to the lycans. "This is a very crucial time. The witch has been biding her time, waiting for an opportunity to strike. She wants only the Luna, and she would destroy anyone in her way to get her. Forget everything I said before. Protect the Luna with your lives". "Yes Beta Leo",they chorus

    Kendrick placed Serena gently on his bed and drew the thick covers up to her chest. He walked back to the door and shut it, turning the key and locking it. He didn't need any disturbance. He made his way to another door that was adjacent to the bed and opened it. There was a mini bathroom and a closet within it. He took out a black shirt and black pants and put them on. Then he brought out a big white box from the closet and shut the door again. He walked back to the bedside and placed the box on the table beside the bed. He worked in complete silence. It was a first aid box and it was mainly used to treat the severe wounds of the prisoners he tortured. The reason why he treated their wounds was to keep them alive for further questioning. He brought out a white bottle and some wool. A white satchel followed and some kind of white powdery stuff. Moving closer to Serena, he first dabbed the wool with the liquid from the bottle. The harsh smell of the alcohol

    Few hours earlier....Xavier arrived in the room with Serena in his arms. It was a simple room with two low beds and a single chair. The tiled floor was cold to the touch and the little windows had dark coloured curtains shielding the room from the harsh light. The lantern cast a dim glow in the room."Put her here",Tabitha said to Xavier. "There's not much in this hideout. Just enough to keep us safe and help us prepare"."It's better than nothing",Xavier said. He gently placed Serena on the bed and pulled the thin white covers over her. He sat beside her for a while, stroking her hair and staring at her face. They've been through so much in the past months and it brought them together and strengthened their bond. Years ago before Serena came to live with them, he had wondered how it would be like to have a twin;someone that would share everything with him. He couldn't have asked for a better twin sister."Xavier?",Melody touched him tentatively. He had been staring at Serena for so
