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
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
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
Light sunshine spilling through the curtains woke Serena up. She opened her eyes slowly, blinked a few times and turned over on her bed. She yawned widely, covering her mouth with the palm of her hand and sat up. A sweet smile appeared on her lips. Today was her eighteenth birthday, a day she had been waiting for. She remembered her mom telling her that she would finally become an adult once she turns eighteenth. Although she didn't feel anything within, being an adult and all that;But she was still excited. She stretched her arms and jumped off her bed, almost tripping in the bedsheets. "Damn, I'm just too excited",she said while laughing. Serena was very beautiful. She had long wavy purple-coloured hair which she used to be really ashamed of when she was young. She remembered being in the 8th grade;her schoolmates always made fun of her, calling her a freak. Serena had wanted to cut her hair off back then in 8th grade, but her mom had convinced her that she was unique. Her m
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
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
