~Mena~

Max mentions not understanding why they needed his help and I'm tempted to ask something but choose not to. Adam responds simply, "My energy was pooled in two different things, Max. I was trying to get the chance to do something, but if I'd pulled my energy out of the other tasks, then we could have all been destroyed. The others aren't strong enough with their pooling energy, yet."

"Adam.." I give a warning look to him because he's speaking in a manner that could make them feel guilty when that's not their fault.

"What is this all about? Is it some kind of magic? What makes them 'Children of the Moon' and how did they all get those necklaces?" The guy that appears to be the leader, Max asks.

"My mom gave me mine," Maria responds and I watch her take hers out of her pocket. "She said she got it from some lady and that it was for pro...tec...tion..."

I nod, "Yes, Hecate and Selene both came to Earth to give them where they were needed. The moment they first touched your skin, they awakened the knowledge needed within the Mentor. They gave me the chance to try and find you, though the Atrox blocked me from two of you."

I glanced around before looking back at Max, "They are the reincarnations of the original Children that Selene chose. It's not a magic, not really. It's a power that is within them, bound to their souls. Even as I chose at one time to remain mortal, to give up my power, it remained bound to me, closed off but still there, until I acsended and became who and what I am now."

A scream sounded from upstairs and I jumped up, "I'll be right back. I know who that is." I jumped up and ran up the stairs, entering the bedroom where Serena was staring at the wall. "Shh, it's okay, Serena. You're safe." I tell her as I move to her side and wrap an arm around her. "No one will hurt you here." I stroke her hair much like a mother would a child. At the moment, that's what Serena is like. I'm just glad I was able to give her a new moonstone amulet.

"Mena.." She begins breathlessly, "I have to know... what are those shadow people?"

I shake my head, uncertain whether answering her would be good for her or not, but somehow she'd had a memory. "Followers of the Atrox."

"Atrox? I.. I don't remember.."

"Serena, come downstairs with me for a little while. I have some people over that need answers and I'd feel better with you down there with me." I tell her, knowing that with her mind at the moment, the Atrox would be able to get to her, but with Cam.. Cam would be able to help her but I needed Cam with me.

"Okay... am I in trouble?" Serena asks.

"No, not at all. Your with me, chica. You could never be in trouble with me." I smile at her and stand up. She takes my hand and I help support her as we walk down the stairs, she's still weak and I can't figure out why. Nothing that I know of could have caused this.

When we reach the den, I look at Cameron. "This is Serena." Cam nods, I'd told both her and Adam about Serena and my other friends from when I was simply a Daughter. "I'll explain later." I inform Cam at the question in her eyes and she nods again.

I guide Serena to the chair I'd been sitting in and sit on the floor beside her. "I know that there are many questions for me to answer, suffice it to say. You can walk away from this now, the Atrox can win, take the hope from humans and soon our world would be nothing. Or you can take the chance to learn control, teamwork and accept the gifts you were given. The choice is yours, but remember... as much as being a Son or Daughter can help, it can also hinder. Still, we are the last hope that humankind has."

Then, I look at Max, "Now, I hope you realize, we have questions as well. We're trusting you to keep our secret, we're telling you things that others couldn't know, how much are you willing to trust us."

"Mena, where are we?" Serena's soft voice questions and I look over, placing my hand on hers.

"Safe, Ren. That's all that matters, your safe." My concern for Serena has me forcing back the tears that form.

*Max*

Mena explains that it's not magic but I really don't understand the difference. I can see the reincarnation and teleknesis as non-magic, although definately paranormal. But the whole circle of people, glowing amulets and 'energy' pools... I don't know what to think. There is an 'energy flow' when I use my powers. I guess it could be something like that... but the amulets...

Someone upstairs screams and she leaves. I look around at the others, not sure what to say. "Is this making sense to all of you?" I ask, looking from Liz to Maria and Alex and Kyle and Teresa. They look confused, but not scared.

In a few moments, Mena comes back with a girl she introduces as Serena. She sounds so gentle when she speaks to the girl, who does not answer. Mena continues her 'explanation.'

"I know that there are many questions for me to answer, suffice it to say. You can walk away from this now, the Atrox can win, take the hope from humans and soon our world would be nothing. Or you can take the chance to learn control, teamwork and accept the gifts you were given. The choice is yours, but remember... as much as being a Son or Daughter can help, it can also hinder. Still, we are the last hope that humankind has."

The last hope of humankind, I repeat in my mind. In a perverse corner of my mind, I wonder how that affects me and my friends, as we are not all 'human.' In fact, if Maria weren't involved, I wouldn't be surprised if Michael didn't bolt from this whole situation based on that alone.

I'm about to ask about the Attrox, which still hasn't been explained, but Mena isn't done. "Now, I hope you realize, we have questions as well. We're trusting you to keep our secret, we're telling you things that others couldn't know, how much are you willing to trust us?"

Not at all, I think. I would trust my friends in this room, if needed. In fact, when we were children, there were often times when I imagined what it would be like if we could share it with them. And then they all moved away and I was glad we never did. Afterall, it would be so easy to mention something to someone as a crazy story, not knowing who those people could be. Still, as much as I'm willing to trust them, I don't know Cameron or Adam or Mena, or Serena at all. I can't tell them the things she's going to want to know. I don't even want to trust them to be alone with Liz or any of the others yet, although I know that may not be something I have control over.

"Mena, where are we?" Serena speaks at last, her voice soft and uncertain.

"Safe, Ren. That's all that matters, you're safe," Mena soothes her as 'though she were a child.

"Your secret is safe with me. With all of us, I think," I promise, answering Mena's unspoken question. Who would believe us if we told, anyway? Looking around the room, I know Isabel and Michael and Tess are well practiced at keeping our secret from the world, most of the rest are part of Mena's 'children of the moon' and I doubt they'll tell if they are to be part of this. Only Trevor is a wild card. I have no idea how well he could handle a secret like this, but I can hope.

My eyes now linger on Adam as some of what was said earlier comes back to me. "I thought you said that Kyle and Adam were the first 'sons' you've found. What about Adam?"

Michael

I watch and listen as the woman named Mena tries to explain things. All of it really doesn't make sense to me. I don't believe in magic. But then, I think about who I am and realize that when we tell them the truth about us, they may not believe that we are aliens.

After Mena leaves to go upstairs where the scream came from my eyes seek Maria. I watch her reaction to all of this. I can see that she's confused but I sense no fear in her. I turn and look at Isabel, Tess, and Max. They are looking just as confused as I feel. I look back to Maria. I'm so tempted to just leave, get away from all this chaotic mess about sons and daughters of the moon and amulets but as I look at her, I know that I can't leave her.

Apparently Maria has powers, ones that can be pretty strong according to the boy Adam, but I still can't leave her unprotected. As long as I've known Maria, I've felt as if I needed to be there for her, to be her guardian, protector even though most of the time she didn't need one. She is quite brazen and speaks her mind and never lets others bully her. I guess that's one of the things I really like about her.

"Your secret is safe with me. With all of us, I think," Max says to Mena before looking to all of us.

Reluctantly I nod. Who am I to tell? I'm not the most social person in the group. In fact, these are the only ones that I even speak to most of the time.

My attention does turn to my brother Trevor. He's been very quiet through all of this. Maybe he's in shock but then when I meet his eyes, I see calm. Maybe everything hasn't set in yet. I mean to find out that some of the people he is friends with are 'Children of the Moon' and that his brother's best friend has these...powers. That's a lot to take in. But I have to wonder what is going to happen when he finds out that I'm alien and have special abilities too. Will he freak? I worry because I've love him, and hate the thought of losing my brother because I never told him the truth about what I was.

"Trevor." I say quietly gaining his attention. "Um...you doing ok?"

~Mena~

While I keep my hand on Serena's, I wait for a response which comes from Max, "Your secret is safe with me. With all of us, I think," his promise sounds sincere and I am grateful for it. However, I'm not sure whether Adam and Cameron will so easily accept it.

"I thought you said that Kyle and Alex were the first 'sons' you've found. What about Adam?" Max asks and I smile as I look over at Adam.

Adam chuckles, "I'll explain that mother." He begins before he looks toward Max, "I'm a 'son' but I wasn't chosen by the goddess completely. I was crafted by the Atrox, genetically breed to be used by them, but they mistakenly placed me and my sister with a family where the amulets were given to us." He glanced at Cameron.

"Right, we were created. Shortly after we were placed with our 'parents' Hecate came to us with the amulets. It was shortly after that when we lost our 'parents' and ended up in the foster care system. The Goddess chose to give us amulets and further strengthen the gifts the Atrox had forged within us, but we weren't born as Daughter and Son. We were chosen only after we'd lived for some time." Cameron continued when Adam had stopped speaking. Then she turned slightly and lifted the bottom of her shirt, revealing a marking that looked like an eye. "If I remove the amulet, it allows the Atrox contact, so my amulet never leaves my neck. I've met our true 'father' and 'mother'. We were lucky we didn't have to fight him. Our mother was actually a Daughter. Our true mother, that is."

I nodded as I motioned that she'd said enough and took over, "You see, this isn't the first time a child was created from a Daughter and a Follower of some type. The first... well she was a dear friend of mine. They are determined to perfect this chore of theirs. The only difference was Cam and Adam learned that their mother wasn't a willing participant where as my friends mother loved the man involved."

"Cattie.." Serena's whispered voice sounded and I looked over and nodded.

"Yes, Serena. Cattie is our friend." I could still see a great deal of emptiness within her eyes and knew that she hadn't regained full memory. "Don't worry, Rena. We'll get your memory back." I told her softly, rubbing my hand over hers.




~Trevor~

I'd listened in silence, complete and utter silence. I had nothing to add, nothing to say. I'd found my gaze going to Teresa rather often, watching her expressions, trying to determine what she was feeling. I was also very curious about what this power of hers was. As Max mentions the secret being safe, I look at my brother who seems to nod reluctantly.

I can't help but feel guilty that I haven't told him the truth about me. Hell, I hadn't told anyone else the truth. At first it had simply been because of the fact that I didn't want to cause more problems. Then I held back because I knew that they'd be angry at me for hiding it. Even now, these human emotions had begun to rub off on me and I was worried about what might happen if I did tell them.

I turn and glance back at Teresa and then my attention returns to Mena as I wait for her to answer the question Max asked. None of this phazes me.

"Trevor." I hear my brother, Michael, say quietly and turned to face him. My gaze questioning. "Um...you doing ok?"

I smile, my little brother concerned about me. I can't help but feel overwhelmed whenever these sorts of moments come up. "I'm fine, Mike." I say, placing a hand on his shoulder. "I'm just fine. You ok?" I ask, knowing that this had to shock him as well.

Of course, the real shock will come when I tell the complete truth.

lalla, I'm trying to catch up now, lol.
*

Kyle

"Alex, Liz, Maria, Kyle, I'm Cameron and this is my brother Adam. If we are going to defeat this Hunter, we need to join hands and focus energy. All you need to do in order to understand is focus on sending me energy and I'll take care of the rest" I heard a voice said. She knew my name, but somehow it wasn't disturbing. I focused to send her energy, not even sure why. It just felt right.

I wasn't sure what was happening, but at some point I felt Max's had touch my shoulder. I glanced at him. "We have seventy two hours to fill you in and find out whether you're willing to accept who you are and what it means before the Hunter will have informed someone even worse" the girl - Cameron - said and I looked at her. "You and your friends are welcome to come with us to our house, mom can better explain what and who we are" she continued and looked at Max.

Max. Oh he did somethign weird..something..not normal. Oh well, I chanted in latin and had a glowing amulet, but Max was weirder. Throwing someone without touching? Hm. Okay, maybe I'd get an answer to that too.

Max said he'd be going, Michael agreed with him. Tess also said she'll go and I looked quietly at her. I figured I'd go aswell, even If I didn't feel like talking right at that moment. I wanted to know what happened and what the necklace I had in my hand was. Silently I saw Maria walking to where I was standing with Alex and Liz.

I don’t know about any of you, but I sure as hell want some answers. So, are we going?” Maria asked. I nodded silently, though it wasn't all that big. If they go, I go. Well I'd go anyway.

Finally everyone - my included - agreed with going and we walked to the cars. I had Tess in my car, and Teresa.

Finally we arrived to Cameron's house. We sat in a weird room. I couldn't see much. Hmph. It would've been more comfortable that way. I looked at the amulet, it was still glowing. So were the others. Cameron asked if we had any questions. Well I had millions of those in my mind, definitely. Though I didn't even notice her before she talked.

I hear Cameron answering the questions. Bor with gifts..? Like Adam's levitating? Or what ever he was doing. I got lost in my thoughs for a while when someone else walked in. Mena - Cameron's mother. I looked at her, waiting.

"Alex, Kyle, Tu es dea, filius lunae. Liz, Maria, Theresa, Tu es dea, filea lunae" Mena said. "You are the Sons and Daughters of the Moon. When Pandora's box was opened all the evils of the world were unleashed and only hope remained. The Atrox, an ancient evil, sent his Followers into the world along with a monster of great evil. Selene, the Goddess of the Moon took pity upon the people of the earth and sent down her daughters to help protect hope. After thousands of years, she saw again that even the Daughter's needed help and chose to bring forth great warriors who would be reborn and become known as her Sons" she explained.

I wasn't quite sure what she was saying. A son of the moon? Me? I must've been dreaming. I drank the tea we were brought a little and looked at the others, to see how the reacted. She turned to talk to Alex. Son was chosen. Alex. Hmm. All my friends were involved in this too.

Someone screamed and I looked up. Mena walked of and after a few minutes she returned with a girl. Mena says she's Serena and puts her to sit down. Then she sat on the floor. "I know that there are many questions for me to answer, suffice it to say. You can walk away from this now, the Atrox can win, take the hope from humans and soon our world would be nothing. Or you can take the chance to learn control, teamwork and accept the gifts you were given. The choice is yours, but remember... as much as being a Son or Daughter can help, it can also hinder. Still, we are the last hope that humankind has" Mena said.

It's either do or die situation then. She turns to talk to Max and he answer that he'll be keeping the 'secret'. "I thought you said that Kyle and Alex were the first 'sons' you've found. What about Adam?" he asks then.

Adam explains this part and just look at him, unsure of what to think now. It was all mess. The Serena girl seemed to have lost her memories, I felt sorry for her. I put the teacup down and sighed. What was I going to say now? Something that woulnd't sound stupid or something that wouldn't sound like I though this all was a dream? I looked at Mena.

"So basically...We have these powers just to help the humanity and save the world?" I asked. Then I looked at Max. "But what about you? You threw that guy without touching..or did I miss your explanation somwhere?"

It could've been possible.

Michael

"I'm fine, Mike." Trevor says, placing a hand on my shoulder. "I'm just fine. You ok?"

I'm a little shocked at how calm Trevor is taking all of this. Maybe he hasn't realized that I'm different also...maybe it just hasn't sunk in yet. But as I look into his eyes, I see an understanding. Something different than ever before. It's as if he knows something that we don't.

I open my mouth to question him more but I'm interrupted by Kyle.

"So basically...We have these powers just to help the humanity and save the world?" Kyle asks but then looks over at Max once he gets a nod from Adam. "But what about you? You threw that guy without touching..or did I miss your explanation somwhere?"

'Oh crap.' I think. No one had yet to really question what Max did and I was hoping that we'd avoid it all together. At least for now as we concentrated on Maria, Liz, Kyle, and Alex's new role in the universe. Out of instinct I go to stand next to Max. Somewhere deep inside I know that I was here to protect him. He's always been our 'leader' so to speak, one that could be counted on to guide us but I've always felt the need to make sure nothing happened to him. It just seemed the natural order of things.

Max glances at me but says nothing as a silent agreement passes between us before turning to the others.

ooc: Ok, so I thought I'd try something here isabelle. Should you decide not to take the bait, or should Storm decide this is not the way she wants thing to unfold, there is an easy way out of the situation I am about to create. :wink: With that said, here we go.

Maria

Draining the last drop of tea from my mug, I place it on the table and search through my handbag for a tissue, but find nothing but some money, lipstick and my cell phone.

"Trevor." I hear Michael say. "Um...you doing ok?" he asks and I almost shake my head. Despite Michael’s inability to conjure up any kind of intimacy where I was concerned, he has always been a very good brother to Trevor, and despite the fact that Michael was Trevor’s little brother, he always seems to be looking out for him.

"I'm fine, Mike." He replies, placing a hand on Michael’s shoulder. "I'm just fine. You ok?" Trevor says affectionately.

"So basically...We have these powers just to help the humanity and save the world? But what about you? You threw that guy without touching...or did I miss your explanation somewhere?" Kyle asks, bringing us back to my initial question. Almost instinctively, Michael moves away from his brother and moves to stand next to Max, flanking him as though he were his protector. I frown slightly as the two exchange looks, communicating non-verbally. Whatever was going on with Max, Michael was somehow involved, I thought to myself as I watched the two. What Max did tonight was nothing like the circle of energy Liz, Kyle, Alex and I produced with Cameron. What Max did was something completely different.

“No Kyle…” I start to say, getting up and moving to stand where Michael had just been standing, right behind Trevor. ”…you didn’t miss Max’s explanation, because he hasn’t given us one yet, have you Max!” I smile, grabbing my cell phone from my purse. Max and Michael remain incessantly quiet.

Determined to get some answers, even if I needed to force it from them, I continue on ”The night might have been a confusing blur…and in my case, an intoxicating blur at that...” I add with a wave of my hand “…but we all saw you Max...” I say, dropping my hand bag with a gentle thud onto the floor. “…we all know you…” but before I finish my sentence I launch my flip phone, directly at an unsuspecting Max and wait to see how he will respond to it.

*Max*

The conversation is moving along nicely about magic and enemy agents of Attrox or whatever. The friends that we'd always felt were ordinary humans are now so much more, and they seem to be taking the news of their new roles rather calmly. Although perhaps they are far more embroiled beneath the surface. I think I would be...

Suddenly Kyle directs the attention back to me and what I did. " ... You threw that guy without touching...or did I miss your explanation somewhere?"

I freeze at the question. I actually thought I had explained to some extent. I didn't deny it and I linked my actions to what Adam did with the tea-tray. Isn't that enough for now? I definately don't want to discuss the 'a-word' in front of strangers, no matter how forth-coming they've been about their 'not-magic' abilities and strange centuries-long battle.

Michael comes up behind me and that somehow makes me feel better. He's there to support me, I know. He might be mad about me exposing my abilities that way, but he's still standing with me. I know that altering the memories of eight people would be a strain on Tess and at the time it didn't even occur to me to ask. Six of them are our friends and the other two had done things that were far stranger, but now, suddenly, I wish it had been something we could have done...

I open my palm pooling a small amount of power, as I wonder if a small demonstration might be needed. As I'm still concidering this, Maria gets up from her seat next to me and wanders across to the room to where Trevor is. “No Kyle. You didn’t miss Max’s explanation, because he hasn’t given us one yet, have you Max!” she says. She sounds bitter and accusatory. The fact that she got up and moved away from me isn't a good sign in my mind. What if they're all afraid of me now? They have abilities that seem to have a potential for being far more powerful than a little teleknesis!

"Maria," I say in a calming tone. "It's okay. I'm still me. I just --"

The night might have been a confusing blur…and in my case, an intoxicating blur at that but we all saw you Max. We all know you--” She stops in mid-sentance, hurling something at my head.

I instinctively raise my hand to ward off whatever-it-is, unintentionally shoving back against Liz at the same time.

Normally, I would have no trouble restricting myself to human responses. Suppressing the alien-abilities is almost completely automatic. But in that split second, I was about to levitate a tea-cup for demonstration and as the object hurtles towards me, I instinctly form that power into a small shield the size of a dinner plate that causes the projectile to bounce towards the middle of the room.

By then, I've identified it as a phone. My shield dissappates an instant after it forms, faster, I hope, than anyone would have been able to realize what they'd seen. I use my teleknesis to catch the phone in mid-flight. I control it, slowing its fall and moving the phone gently back to Maria where I let it rest above her hand. "I'm teleknetic, too," I say, explaining more plainly. "Just like your new friend Adam."

It's not really just like that since he's a 'son' and I'm an alien, but I hope its enough for now. Many humans have claimed to have teleknetic powers. It would be VERY unusual, I know, but I hope they don't realize I'm not human. Not yet. I'll explain later, when we're alone, but I don't want to do it here...

Michael

Maria catches my attention as she begins speaking and moving to where I had stood before going to Max. I watch her weary, I know she's our friend, but she doesn't know what we are.

We all know you--” She says but then flings something at Max. I move instinctively toward Max, throwing my hand in the air toward the object thrown but Max was quicker throwing his own hand out and creating his shield. I quickly lower my hand but stay close to Max. I want to give Maria a piece of my mind for doing something like that to Max but I hold my tongue and decide to scowl disapproving at her. If she wasn't our friend and someone I care for, I would have turned and used my own powers on her.

"I'm teleknetic, too," Max says. "Just like your new friend Adam."

I want to turn to Max and question him but I don't give myself away. I continue glaring at Maria hoping Max knows what he's doing. They know that Max is...different, but they don't know about the rest of us....yet.
