Daughters of the Moon

Stanton

I rolled my eyes, breathing slowly. Anything hurt; breathing, moving, talking... It hurt like hell!

"It's not my fault we're in love, Brian," I snarled, wincing when my side hurt. "If you want my opinion, we're all at fault somehow."

Mike

Before Brian could rant, I cut in. "Leave him alone, Brian. He's right; like now. I started the fight. I nearly killed Serena. If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at me. Leave him out of this."

I was right. After all, on the beach, she had run to Stanton. I was injured as well, and she ran to him. She loved him... and not me.


******

Sacuna bolted upright in bed, gasping. The other females looked at her.

"What?"

"What's wrong?"

"Go to sleep, Sacuna."

Sacuna swallowed. Hard. She touched Stanton's mind and saw what he saw, felt what he felt. "Shit... Stanton's in the hospital!"

**Do you want me to play Sacuna? I can...XD**

Brian:

I growled. "I can't believe your taking his side! He doesn't deserve her! Now she's mad at all of us! She hates us. Look, Mike, if you want to wn her back, your going to have to show her how stupid you wer and how much your willing to do for her. I know her." I heard Staton laugh. I glared. "It'll work. Trust me. She was completely involved with you before HE showed up. I'm pretty sure we can get her to forgive you." I smiled. I was so going to get them together.

**That'd be great...**

Stanton

I snorted, even though it hurt my side. "Be glad you're not telepathic, Brian. I read Serena's thoughts while she was kissing Mike."

"Oh, really?" He didn't sound too convinced.

"Yeah, really. She was imagining me. Sorry to disappoint you."

Brian:

I growled. "I highly doubt that. She was showing such passion...such love for Mike-"

I was interupted when a shadow entered the room and went beside Staton.

"Are you okay?! what happened?" tears were running down her eyes.

I glared. "So this is what you do when your not seeing my sister?! date another girl?! I knew you couldn't be trusted!!"

Sacuna:

I looked a hik. "Who the hell are you?!"

"I'm serena's brother. You know, staton's girlfriend!!"

I growled. "Yes. I know." The stupid whore. I added in my mind. I heard both of the guys growl. "Sorry." I appoligized. I was jealous. I loved Staton. He deserved better than some stupid Daughter who moped around all the time.

Stanton

I groaned, both of annoyance and pain. Great. Just what I needed; Sacuna knowing I was in the hospital.

"I'm fine," I lied, voice clipped. "Now, what are you doing here? You should be at the hideout with the other Followers!"

"Stanton, you're hurt. I'm had to come - "

"No, Sacuna. You are my apprentice; when I'm out, they look to you!" I moaned when my side seared. I had gotten too excited and thus too loud. I put my right hand against my left side, very aware of the metal rods they had to put through two of my ribs. It was the only way to get them back in place; Mike's attack had shattered them completely.

"Just tell me this; how bad is it?" she pleaded, still crying, still sitting on the side of the bed.

"My ribs are shattered. Came through the flesh and grazed my lung. I'll be in here for a few more days, but out of the field for weeks."

She groaned, covering her eyes with a hand. "Who did this to you?!"

"Don't worry - "

"I did." I glared at Mike. Where I had been trying to protect him, he was open to her wrath! I shook my head, preparing myself for her temper.

Sacuna:

I growled. My hands started glowing. I was going to rip him from limb to limb...then I looked into his eyes. They were...enchanting. But I loved Staton. I ignored the stupid human and turned back to Staton, stroking his cheek. he growled. I looked up to see serena walk in. I stopped.

Serena:

I growled. I could feel Sacuna's jealousy and anger. I could feel myself getting jealous in return. I walked over to Santon and pushed Sacuna out of the way. "Sorry." I said into hi mind. "I was just so worried. I was...scared. I couldn't stand being wthout you. Do you forgive me for being so upset?" I asked hopefully.

Stanton

I looked at her, not sure how to respond. I was happy to see her, thrilled she was here, but I was still angry...still angry at her and Mike. The confusing thoughts made my head spin. I closed my eyes as I laid back down, trying to ignore the pain.

Stanton? she asked.

I'll be fine. I'm just in so much pain... But, yes, I do forgive you. Do you forgive me for getting so angry? It took all I could to keep from going after Mike.

I felt her smile as she stroked my forehead. Of course.

I chanced opening my eyes as I looked at Sacuna. She looked livid, ready to tear into Serena. "Sacuna. Remember what I told you. Okay?"

She nodded stiffly.

"Thanks for coming."

I sighed, but it made me wince. Serena hushed me gently. I looked at her one more time, mentally thanking her and telling her how much I loved her, before I drifted off to sleep.

Serena:

I kissed his lips softly and looked at Sacuna. "You can leave now."

She growled. "No thanks."

"We can't all stay in here. I want to talk to Mike alone, and you have no real business being here. Please leave and go back."

She growled and left. I looked pointedly at Brian, and he walked out. I looked at Matt and walked over to him. I sat down on the bed. "You know what you did was pretty stupid, right?" I asked gently.

**I'm going to post tomorrow... I'm feeling ugh...**

**Damn it! Writer's block again! Gah, I hate this!**

**Um...try something along the lines of, yes...you like staton...I'm sorry...yada yada. serena is a bit confused because she likes both of them...but she knows that se loves Staton, but, she likes Mike in a differet way. Kind of like Bella, edward, and Caleb. Lol. XD**

**Bella, Edward, and Jacob, silly. And in the end, Bella is totally in love with them both! **

Mike

I sighed, nodding. I refused to look at her; I was still ashamed. I had nearly killed her, and Stanton was proof of it. I knew he would have beaten me if he hadn't had to protect Serena. Serena's life was the only reason he was in the hospital, in worse condition than me. I only had a concussion; I'd be walking out tomorrow, where'd he be in for the rest of the week...

"I'm sorry," I whispered, closing my eyes. "I'm really sorry. I don't know what I was thinking."

"It's okay, Mike. At least it's better than it could have been - "

"It's not better! The best thing possible is just to let things be! You love Stanton, and I see that fully, now. Yes, I'm very jealous about it, but there's nothing I can do about it."

I gasped. Did I just say what I thought I just said? Did I just admit that I loved her?

Serena:

I sat there stunned. I had never imagined...I mean...I was so confused. We had known each other since I was first born. He'd always been there...like another brother. But as I looked at him, I didn't see a brother...I saw someone I enjoyed being around. someone I felt comfortable with. If I couldn't be with Staton, Mike was the first one I thought of. I looked down at him. I felt like crying. I couldn't stand him being hurt. "I'm perfectly fine. Not a scratch on me." I tried to smile. He continued to look away. "It's not your fault. I...I shouldn't have put you in that position."

"You didn't. I attacked him-"

"I shouldn't have gotten in the way. And, yes, he could've. He's an excellent fighter, and he could've kill you. But he didn't have to retaliate." I sighed. How was I supposed to chose? I loved them both! Did I? Yes, but in different ways. I bent down and pressed my lips gently to Mike's, then pulled away, looking cautiously toward Staton. I couldn't live without him. I loved him more. I knew I just loved Mike because he could be there when I needed him, whereas, Staton couldn't always be there. I was using Mike as a replacement for one that I loved more.

Staton was badly damaged. I started crying. He was hurt badly. I didn't know the next time I would be able to lay in his arms while he soothed me to sleep. I always slept better if he was there. When he wasn't, I would end up staying up half the night wishing he would be. I had almost forgotten about Mike as I looked at staton in despair and longing.

**Stanton could've what?

"You didn't. I attacked him-"

"I shouldn't have gotten in the way. And, yes, he could've. He's an excellent fighter,

Seems you skipped a line. Mike didn't say anything about Stanton able to do something before this. lol**

Mike

I put my hand over hers, giving it a gentle squeeze. She looked back at me, tears in her eyes. I didn't need to read her mind to see the uncertainty and worry; it was in her gaze.

"I don't mind if you leave me," I told her softly. "He needs you more than me, right now."

She whimpered, finally crying. I let her lean on me, hide in my arms, and I offered her what support I could. I hushed her gently, whispering in her ear. "I'll stay at your place until he gets better. And I'll bring you here everyday so you can see him. Okay? Please, stop crying. Please."

**Opps. I read the narritive and put it into the story. sorry. XD**

Serena:

I cried harder and laid in his arms. I was so worried about Staton. Would he ever get better?! and yet, I was comfortable here. I was fine laying in Mike's arms as he held me. Yes, I wish it was Staton. But he couldn't right now. He was in such bad shape, I was afraid that if I touched him, I would only hurt him more! Being with Mike was the best I could do. He was safe, comforting. He was...there. "Thank you." I whispered. "I'd like that. Would you stay at our house for a while?" I asked, still crying. He ran his hands over my back and helped hush me. I saw Staton move and I rushed over to him, forgetting Mike again. Tears ran down my face as I looked into his eyes. "Are you going to be okay?" I asked desperately.
