Disclaimer: I do not own any of these wonderful characters, but the idea
and story line of Protector is of my own imagination.
Serena was walking home from her music lesson. It was dark, but not late. She was going to hook up with the other Goddesses at Planet Bang, but decided against it because she was feeling a bit under the weather. Jimena offered her a ride home, but Serena felt safe seeing that it was almost a full moon.
While she was contemplating on which piece of music to choose for he tryout next week, she got that strange feeling that someone was following her. "Stanton," she thought, "Is that you? No, it couldn't be, he wouldn't be following me around after what he has become."
Stanton was a Follower, but of no ordinary kind. He was taken unwillingly by the Atrox when he was just a little boy. Because of this, he still had traces of humanity dwelling in him, fighting for control over the evil. He became one of the leading Followers and also an immortal. But that all changed when his love, Serena, turned him back human. It almost killed him, but it worked. Then the girls were in a fight, and loosing. Stanton knew what to do, but it would have to be the greatest sacrifice the world has ever known. He willingly came back to the Atrox to get his powers back, and willingly lost Serena forever to save her. He did save Serena and the rest of the goddesses from a traitor of the Atrox. Because of what he did, he became the leader of the Atrox, the Dark Prince.
"It couldn't be Stanton, anyway, or else my moon amulet would be glowing." Serena was growing very nervous and is walking much quicker. She remembered what Maggie had told her about sending her mind out to penetrate minds of those near by. What she saw shocked her. It was Bobby, a boy that goes to the same school as she does. He had something terrible in mind. Serena broke out into a full speed run. She dropped her belongings to gain more speed. She had to snap out of Bobby's mind in order to watch where she was heading. "I will take the long way home, I could loose him by then." She could hear Bobby getting lost behind, then his sound was gone and the feeling of being followed was gone. But Serena still ran towards home.
When she got there, she slammed the door and locked it. Collin wouldn't be home for at least another two hours and her dad was away on business. She was alone; at least that's what she thought.
She crept upstairs and went to the bathroom. She washed her face and slipped into some of her most comfortable pajamas. Serena turned the corner into her room, before she could react, that feeling was on her again. A shadowy figure raced at her from her balcony. He grabbed her and threw her on the bed.
His thoughts were screaming at her. How she never said hi to him. How she teased him with her looks. He was on top of her now, looking down on her with crazy eyes. Serena was caught so off guard, she didn't have time to use her powers to control him. She was so frightened she couldn't even scream. She didn't have to.
The balcony doors shot open with an invisible force. Then he appeared, like an angel. But he was furious. Stanton yanked Bobby off of Serena. His anger was great, yet his power was still centered and controlled. The room gave off an eerie silver and blue glow from Serena's moon amulet. Stanton held Bobby about a good two feet in the air. Electrical energy now surged around them. Blue and green surges were illuminating the darkened room. Serena knew by the look in Bobby's eyes that Stanton was messing around with his head. He was showing Bobby his past and all the pain and suffering he had went through. Then Stanton stealthy walked to the balcony, with Bobby still raised in his hands. He threw Bobby over with a bust of might. Serena could feel Stanton brewing a powerful force inside of him. With a bust of electrical energy, Stanton wailed with his mind power, "If you ever think about hurting Serena again, I WILL hunt YOU down. You WILL feel PAIN forever!" The energy was so great that it even struck Serena.
The power subsided and the two were left in the room, together.
"Sorry," Stanton began, taking one step closer to Serena, still on her bed. "I saw him following you and knew what he was going to do. When you split to take the long way, I followed you." His eyes were cool and soothing, but Serena still was shacking. "Is there anything I can get you?"
Serena cleared her throat and weakly said, "C-Collin won't be h-home for anot-ther c-couple of hours." "C-could you st-tay with me till I fall a- asleep?"
Stanton gave a small smile, "I will stay with you till morning. You want me to get anything at all for you?"
Serena shook her head no, and closed her eyes. "I am safe," she thought, "Stanton protects me." She didn't even bother to put up her mind block; he probably knew it already. She fell asleep soon after and started to dream. The dream was horrible; she was being followed in an endless pursuit by a masked figure.
Stanton was watching over her and saw her dream. He buried the dream into the ends of her mind. In its place, he placed sweet memories of early Christmases. The last dream he gave her was one of his own. They were walking alone on a mid summer night's sunset along the beach. "Serena, my love," he began, "I will stay with you forever." It was then that he noticed Serena's moon amulet.it wasn't glowing.
