Delila shook her head, tears steamed down her pale cheeks. "How could you!", Delila screamed, "I trusted you!". Samantha did not speak. Delila wiped away the tears that clouded her vision. Aset glided towards Delila.
"How foolish of you to put your trust in your so called friend. You will die because you relied on trust and friendship. You are weak, you disgust me." Aset walked back to where she sat on a throne of shadows. "Finish her," she said simply as she flicked her hand. Samantha sighed and balled up her fists. Shadows formed around her fists, it looked as if she wore a glove of darkness. She ran towards Delila, who held out her hands, so that light could for around them. Delila ran so that she could attack Samantha as well. Their fists met, and there was a flash of black and white. The fight was horrible. It went on for quite a while, when Delila saw an opening in Samantha's defense. Delila grabbed Samantha's right hand with her left, while Samantha grabbed Delila's right hand with her left. The pushed against each others force, light meeting shadows. Tears streamed down Delila's face, the same for Samantha. Then, Delila's knees buckled, and Delila fell to the ground. Delila let out, what she though to be, her final breath. Samantha laid her head next to her friend's.
"Are you happy now?!" Samantha screamed at her grandmother. "Are you happy that I had to kill my best friend?!" Aset smirked.
"Friendship is for fools. I am glad that you set up a fake friendship with this stupid girl, though I was infuriated when I learned that you were really becoming friends with her." Aset sighed. "I you had not become friends with the girl, you could have killed her with no emotion, with no pain. But here you are, crying in vain for a lost cause. Despicable." Aset glided away from the gloomy scene.
Samantha sat down and cried. Thunder rolled in the distance.
* * *
Sol sat down on a weathered couch. He poked his head out side to see the Moon fading into the distance. The nigt was almost up. Was Aset really this strong? Was Delila... No, he could think of the negatives. Yet, there was so little positives, if there was any. He could only hope that the bracelet would allow Delila a chance at survival. He could only hope.....

Chapter 14
Delila had tears in her eyes. She gave her dad a hug that seemed to last a lifetime, or was it only a few seconds? Letting go was hard, but Delila finally closed the door of her house, possibly leaving behind more than just her belongings. "Remenber, you can use your star bracelet to go into starpower mode. But it only works once, so use it only in time of desperate need." Her dad's words rung in her head. She sighed and stepped into her car. She begun the long drive to the Polar Cave. The stars guided her on her journey. Her tears slid slowly down her cheeks.
Darkness engulfed her. She knew that she had arrived. She stepped out of the car, and slowly walked to the mouth of the cave. She placed her hands on the walls, and slowly trudged inside the cave. She walked the familiar windidng path inside the cave. The space opened up into the underground dome, a hole in the roof of the dome had light shinning through it. It was the full moon that lit the rock dome. Once her eyes adjusted to the bright light, she saw a figure. The figure was cloaked in darkness. A hood cover her eyes. Behind the cloaked person was a trembling girl. She was crying and never looked up from the ground. Delila did not need to see her eys to tell that the crying girl was Samantha. Delila gasped and opened her mouth, as if to ask a question, then closed her mouth. "My dear Delila, I have awaited your arrival." The cloaked figure chuckled.
She pulled down the hood, and Delila gasped at the sight of her eyes. Were some people would have green, blue, or brown eyes, she could still see the whites of her eyes, so it wasnt fully black. "You are the star that is supposed to save the world's destruction. HA HA HA!!!! I have been training for over 300 years, do you think that 1 year of training could possibly defeat me? You are nothing but a fool for believing in the Starpool's ludicrus prophecy. The Starpool did not fortell of my thirst for power. My sisters think of my turning as a fall, though they are blind to the path of power!!!!! They never understood me, they never cared for me!! Though I do not need their love, it is better to be feared than loved!!! I dont want a heart if it means that I will have no power!!!"
Delila ran forwards, but she was stopped by an unseeable force. "Samantha, RUN!! She is going to hurt you, RUN!!!!" She screamed.
"She wont hurt me, becuase... I am her great grandduaghter. I am bound by the dark power of the Anti-star power. It is my destiney to destroy you, I have to kill you." Samantha never looked up from the ground. Delila finally understood... friends will become enimies...

Chapter 13
Delila scurried out of her living room, to warn her father of the terrible things happening. She flung herself into her father's office, to find that her father was watching the news already. Her looked into her eyes, and Delila took confidence that radiated from the eyes she stared into.
Delila nodded and trudged to her room. She picked a picture of her mother and herself. Her mom's soft blond hair and gentle gaze, stared into a younger version of Delila. Delila gently set it down on her bed. She dressed quickly, and asked her father if she could go out to the park. After an approval she walked to the park.
She bent over some flowers radiating pink, and soft yellow. She walked over to the rusty swings that were creaking and swaying to the wind. She sat on one and thought about when the time would come. Her cell phone rang, she looked to see who it was. It was Samantha, but Delila didn't answer. She continued to think. She thought about her mother, about her father, about Llia, Karisa, and Tesa. About Aset and Samantha. Delila shivered as she thought about Samantha, but why would that be. That cant be right, Samantha is my friend, but for some reason... no. Delila shook her head as to shake away the dark feeling.
Delila walked back to her house, and ignored her father's worried question. She sat on her bed, and stared into the picture of her mother and herself.
* * *
Samantha stared into a picture of her and Delila at her fifth birthday party. Samantha stormed away. She glared at the painting of her ancestor. She grabbed her coat and trudged to an Asian Chow. She stared at her egg roll, and sighed.
* * *
Delila screamed at the stars shinning bright, "WHY!!!!! WHY ME!!!!". Then she saw it, the Northern Star, in the Constellation. She knew it was time, she raced inside and ran into her father.
"Its time." her murmured.

Chapter 12
Delila cried as she closed her eyes, she thought of her meeting with Aset in only a matter of weeks. She stared into the gossamer light coming from the clock beside her bed. She sighed and silently breathed out, and slowly drifted into a deep slumber.
* * *
Samantha stared into the eyes of her ancestor, "No I will not do it!" Samantha screamed. The hooded figure chuckled.
"You don't have a chance, its your destiny. You will be the murderer of the one who defies me!" The hooded woman whispered in Samantha's ear. The woman stepped back and faded into the silent night. Samantha laid her head on the stone floor, and cried her self to sleep.
* * *
Delila walked into the pitch black cave, she knew what was coming an she knew that there was nothing she could do to stop the sea of blood from flowing, drowning her. But then she saw a light, one that was blinding. Delila closed her eyes, and as the light faded, she realized that her mother was standing right before her. "Mothe-...."
She was stopped by her mother placing her glowing white hand over Delila's mouth. "Listen my sweet," Marie explained, "Your time is coming to do what your ancestors have foretold. You are strong, but there is so much to learn. Remember trust in your self, and amazing things will happen." her mother's voice faded away. The light brightened, and then everything went black.
Delila woke up at peace, for once in a very long time. She walked to her living room and turned on her t.v. There was a news cast lady, telling of the havoc that reeked over the city of New York, New York. There was people being killed with no signs of being hurt, but the blood was drained from them. The city was in turmoil, and only Delila knew why. Aset.
How long would it be before Aset would kill Delila like all those innocent people.

Chapter 11
Days pass by slowly
your training is lowly
Your palms start to bleed
A warning you will heed
The moon starts to wax
And you can not relax
The day will be soon
You'll win, you assume
But be careful young star
and you will go far
if you heed my warning
your future as bright as morning
your training is lowly
Your palms start to bleed
A warning you will heed
The moon starts to wax
And you can not relax
The day will be soon
You'll win, you assume
But be careful young star
and you will go far
if you heed my warning
your future as bright as morning

Chapter 10
"SURPRISE!" twenty people called out as Delila entered the park. Delila jumped and ran to hug Samantha whom was holding a deep purple small box. Delila was crying as she thanked Sammie. Sammie handed her the purple box. "Here, its your birthday present. I hoped you like it."
Delila opened the purple box and saw a necklace with a amethyst circle charm. "Its beautiful, thank you Sammie." Delila put it on and started crying again. They went to enjoy the cake and games. Delila then decided that this was the best birthday ever in her whole sixteen years. Delila followed Samantha to her house, where they had a sleep over.
The next morning Delila woke to mini explosions in her backyard. She ran, ready to use her powers. She relaxed when she saw that it was her dad practicing his Starpower. Delila relaxed with a smile on her face and trudged back to her house. She put on her bracelet and necklace. She walked around her kitchen and then grabbed a waffle.
Every thing will change, friends will become enemies, enemies will be vanquished, and all will perish by the next moon.
Delila fainted as she heard this, and everything went black.
* * *
Samantha sulked as she watched t.v., in the sitcom she was watching someone had just died. I'm going to die, I know I am. I gave that necklace to Delila, and it was tied to my life. I will die, and so will she, but at least she will live, she'll die and live.
Samantha walked to a picture of one of her ancestors, the woman in the picture wore a jet black flowing dress. Her short spiked black hair covered her eyes. Samantha sighed and carried on walking through her house. Life was empty knowing you were destined to kill your best friend and then die, though her grandmother didn't know that she would give up her life for her friend.
* * *
Delila woke and stumbled around not knowing what just happened. She fainted, right, and then what was the voice that made her faint. Another prophecy!!!! Delila tried to work this out, "'Everything will change, friends will become enemies, enemies will be van'- Aset will be defeated!" Delila said with a gasp, she felt light on air, then she remembered, "By the next moon, a month, I will have to face Aset in a month!"
Delila ran to her father, "Dad I-...."
"Yes I know, I heard, I cant believe we lost track of time!"
They spent the next days training, and training,and training. Delila grew tired soon, and as she looked into the night sky, she saw that the constellation was forming, just on more month. Delila sighed and fell asleep outside where no one would hear her cry to sleep.
Delila woke up with her eyes blood red, and stumbled her way to her father where she cried into his clothes. "Its OK darling, everything will be all right, we'll get through this together, don't worry." her father tried to comfort her.
But nothing could get Delila to stop worrying about everyone she loved.

Chapter 9
"Yes this is where the prophecy was cast about you Delila, this is where we were told you will save the galaxy." a women's voice behind Delila surprised her. She turned around to see two beautiful women, both with pure white hair, and in long white dresses. She realized that the two women were Karisa and Llia. She gasped, and stared wide eyed.
"Don't be scared Delila, we mean no harm, and we have come to help you with your training, we will take your training father then just the ordinary spells. Come with us" Karisa held out her hand and said each word with the pride of a mother over her child. Delila was immediately filled with lover for these ancestors of hers.
Delila followed them to a clearing surrounded by oak trees growing tall. Karisa took her hand and blew on it, sparkles like sapphires came out and landed on Delila's right hand, and formed a ten-point star. "This is the sign of the Starpower kingdom."
"Watch closely" Llia claimed, "Follow my exact movements." Llia took a step forward and murmured, "Wind that flows, Fire that burns, Water that soothes, Earth that steadies, Electric that sparks, and Psychic that controls, bring me the elements that shine like stars. Give me the power of the stars." and with that Llia shot out a power ball, that was white, but had shades of the colors of the rainbow, the colors of the elements.
The power ball knocked disintegrated five of the oak trees, which grew back immediately. "Now you try," Llia said. Delila stared in shock at her, how in the world was she supposed to do that!!!
Delila repeated the saying, and luckily she shoot out a power ball, though it was weak, and only knocked down half a tree. Delila moaned, while the two sisters giggled. Even her father and grandmother laughed. "Hey" Delila growled.
"Lighten up, that was perfect for a Star, I could never do that in my days of a Star." her father said. Delila smiled and perked up.
"You show great promise, you will have power father than anyone I have seen in centuries." Karisa smiled, and giggled. Delila felt filled with happiness. "Its time for you to go, Ill be seeing you soon."
Delila pouted and walked with her father, to the tree with the ten-point star, "Would you like to do the honers?" her father asked. Delila smiled, and pressed her right hand to the tree, and the passage opened up.
Light shined down on Delila, making her feel light and happy. "You know, its your sixteen birthday tomorrow and Samantha wants to meet you at the park tomorrow, I said you can go."
Delila forgot that her birthday, was tomorrow, life couldn't get any better!
"Thanks dad, I love you!" and with that they headed off toward their house.
* * *
"Wake up honey, come on I made pancakes, Delila!" Delila woke up to the screaming of her father's loving voice that was excited, and happy. Delila finally opened her eyes to see her father with a plate of burned pancakes, and a huge smile on his face. Delila crinkled her nose at the smell of burnt dough. "Yeah, I can t make them as good as your mother, but its tradition that you have pancakes on your birthday." his voice chocked at the reminder if her mother.
"Thanks dad, your the best! These actually aren't that bad!" they laughed together at the compliment of her father's cooking. "I love you dad!"
"Happy Birthday, I love too, Delila." their eyes met and they both smiled. "Here, here's your present." her father handed her a box. When Delila opened the box, she found a bracelet with a ten-point star charm on it. Delila eyes filled with tears as she hugged her father.
"This is the best birthday present ever!" Delila's phone rang, and she saw that Sammie had sent her a text telling her to meet her at the park.
"You go ahead, have fun at the park." her father said. Delila kissed him on the cheek and ran off.
"Don't be scared Delila, we mean no harm, and we have come to help you with your training, we will take your training father then just the ordinary spells.
