The city's cheers still echoed in their ears as the five girls took off into the sky, their silhouettes blending into the night. They flew swiftly, the wind rushing past them, heading towards a secluded hideout where they could safely revert to their real identities.
As they landed in the hidden spot—a quiet, abandoned rooftop concealed from prying eyes—one by one, their powers faded, and they transformed back into their regular selves.
Stella shook out her hair, stretching her arms. "Ahh, finally! That was intense, right? But I have to say, did you see the way I took down that last demon? My gravity was perfect."
Serafina, now back in her usual form, rolled her eyes playfully. "Sure, sure. But don't forget, we all contributed."
Nyx(Nova)smirked as she adjusted her glasses. "Still, I have to admit, it was kind of fun. Except for the part where we almost got crushed."
The three girls burst into laughter, their conversation shifting into lighthearted gossip about the battle and the expressions of the people who had watched them. They joked about how some bystanders looked more shocked than scared, as if they had just seen a magic trick rather than a battle between supernatural forces.
Meanwhile, Aria(Blaze) remained quiet, leaning against the railing. She observed them with a calm but distant gaze, as she always did. Her mind was elsewhere.
Zephyr(Sophie) the wind girl, stayed beside her, not saying much either. She wasn't the type to talk a lot, but she listened. She always did.
After a while, Stella and Serafina exchanged glances. "Alright, we better head home before we get caught sneaking back in," Stella said with a sigh.
Serafina grinned. "You're right. But I swear, our simple coffee date turned into something crazy. One moment, we're enjoying our drinks, and the next, we're fighting demons."
As they walked through the quiet streets, Stella suddenly brightened. "Oh! Speaking of crazy, you know who I saw on TV the other day?"
Serafina smirked. "Hmm, let me guess. Alex?"
Stella's face turned slightly pink. "Yes! You know he's the most talented, handsome, and perfect member of Eclipse? He sings, dances, fights—he even won a boxing championship last year! I swear, I'm going to marry him someday."
Serafina laughed. "You and half the world."
They continued chatting about Alex and his group, Eclipse—the world's most famous boy band. Stella's admiration for him was endless, and Serafina, though amused, enjoyed seeing her friend so passionate about something.
Eventually, they reached a street where their paths split. "See you tomorrow?" Stella asked.
Serafina nodded. "Of course. Good night."
With that, they parted ways, each heading to their respective homes.
Later that Night…
At exactly 12:00 AM, both Stella and Serafina's phones buzzed with an urgent message.
Nova:Emergency. Meet at the hidden spot. NOW.
Stella sat up in bed, her heart pounding. "What's going on…?"
Serafina, already dressed, grabbed her jacket and whispered to herself, "This doesn't feel right."
With unease settling over them, the girls hurried into the night, heading towards the unknown message that awaited them…
