"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.

Chapter 8
"Grandma!" Delila gasped she ran up to hug the frail old lady. Her eyes filled with tears, now she knew why she wasn't allowed to go to the funeral. All this time she thought it was because her parents didn't think she was ready. But now she knew there was no funeral. She was so happy she felt as though she was on cloud nine.
"Come with me, Delila we have many things to discuss." her grandmother held her hand as they walked along a path. "You are a Star, there are ten Stars at a time, if one dies he is replaced. There are ten Stars right now, you being the tenth to be given power, thus you are the Tenth Star. Then there are Comets, you can be a Comet if there is an open spot and you have proved yourself to have the power of the comets that shoot across the sky. There are five comets at a time. Then there are Moons, there are four Moons at a time. Then there are Suns, there are three at a time, and the ones that you know as Llia, Karisa, ans Tesa are the Suns of the Starpower kingdom. But there are only two Suns today, Llia and Karisa. Then the ultimate level, Galaxy Holder. There is only one at a time. But in the current time and ever since Tesa become Aset, there has been no Galaxy Holder.
"The galaxy is in turmoil without a third Sun and a Galaxy Holder. That is why Aset is known as a Black Whole around here." Delila stared in shock at this knowledge, and realized that she would have to save the galaxy from peril, since she was they key in the prophecy.
"Grandma, if father is a Comet, and I am a Star, what does that make you?" Delila asked.
"I am not in the ranks of the Starpower. I am a professor here at the University of Starpower, not like any University out there." She said with a giggle. "I teach the history of Starpower here to all willing to learn. I was not a Star because I was not one for violence. I was never interested in powers, instead I was intrigued by knowledge of my past, and here I am today."
"Wow that's so cool grandma." Delila murmured. She looked around her, and the huge dome building seemed to call to her, she started to walk toward it when someone stopped her.
"Not yet, your time will come, when your ready." Delila looked into her father's eyes as he said this. She nodded and continued to walk along the path. "Delila, come with me."
Delila followed her father to the base of a near by mountain, there was a pool filled with silver water. "This is where the prophecy was cast about you, this is the Starpool."
"Come with me, Delila we have many things to discuss." her grandmother held her hand as they walked along a path. "You are a Star, there are ten Stars at a time, if one dies he is replaced. There are ten Stars right now, you being the tenth to be given power, thus you are the Tenth Star.
