Chapter 1
Serena sat quietly on her sofa sipping her coke. After the last battle she was completely exhausted. It had been three weeks but everyone was still recovering. Mina came quietly into the living room with a tray of her cookies.
"So how's Darien?" asked Mina.
"He's fine. Better than all of us actually" replied Serena. A knock suddenly sounded at the door. Mina opened the door to see a women standing there.
"I'm looking for Darien" she said.
"He's not here...why?" asked Mina
"Never mind. I'll come back later" the woman replied as she turned around and left.
"Who was that girl...and why was she looking for MY Darien?" Serena whined.
"I'm not sure but I think we should find out" said Mina. They got on their coats and slipped out the door after the woman. They followed the women around the corner and down the street until she turned into an alley. "Should we still go after her?" asked Mina. Serena nodded. They turned down the alley but the women was gone. "Where did she go?" they both said in unison. Confused, they both turned around and headed back to Darien's apartment. When they got there Darien had come back.
"Where did you guys go? I thought you were going to stay here and wait for me" said Darien.
"Some girl came looking for you and didn't say who she was so we followed her. Then she disappeared. Were you expecting anyone?" said Mina
"No. I didn't know anyone was coming...what did she look like?" asked Darien.
"She had long black hair and really green eyes. She was about my height and very skinny...do you know her?" Serena said.
"I don't think so. She doesn't sound too familiar. Did she say what she wanted?" asked Darien.
"No. She just said she was looking for you" Mina said. They sat down on the couch and thought about who she could be.
There was a brilliant flash of indigo light and two figures came barreling through it. It was a woman and a man. They toppled hard to the ground. The man quickly got up and ran, the woman immediately following.
"You can't run forever!" she screamed. He suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. The woman jumped on to him and placed her hands on his throat.
"Where is the planet crystal?" she asked. The little man said nothing although he trembled with fear.
"Look. I chased you all the way here and it's not going to be for nothing! Tell me where it is!" she screamed.
"Trinity, please don't do this" he pleaded. Trinity -or so he called her- tightened her grip on his throat.
"Ok...I will tell you" he said, "It is in the heir to the throne of the earth". An evil smile appeared on Trinity's face and she snapped his neck. She stood up and straightened her black leather top. "This will be easier than I thought".
CHAPTER 2
Darien sat solemnly on his couch pondering why Serena had become so distant over the last few days. A knock suddenly sounded at the door. Darien opened the door to find the woman who had appeared while Serena and Mina were there. She smiled at the sight of him and said "Hi".
"What are you doing here Erika?" he asked angrily.
"I came to fix everything. I suppose they told you I had came" she said.
"I don't want you in my life. You've ruined every good thing I had before and you are not going to ruin it again" replied Darien.
"I'm sorry. It wasn't my fault. Please don't reject me again, after all...were family".
