Reunited
Chapter One
She stood in the center of the rose garden, next to a park bench. She closed her eyes as a gentle breeze blew past her. A small smile crept on her lips as the memory of him flashed through her mind...
Flashback...
He led her through the park with her eyes closed. "Darien, where are you taking me?" She asked impatiently. "You'll see, it's a surprise." He said softly as he led her into the center of the rose garden. The sweet scent of the roses around her filled her senses. She smiled brightly at the sweet smell. "Darien?" She asked. He stopped her right infront of a rose bush. "Okay, you can open your eyes now." He whispered in her ear as he stood next to her. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around at her surroundings. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Everywhere she turned and looked there were rose bushes.
A few feet away from them was an old park bench with bright green vines growing up the legs of it. The stone path they stood on had cracks and some pieces missing. Trees shaded the garden area well only allowing a few rays of the sun shine through. "Darien..It's beautiful. How did you find this place?" She asked as she turned and looked up at him. He smiled down at her. "I have been coming here for years. I stumbled upon this place about a year after my parents died. It's been my place of solitude." He answered softly. "What are we doing here?" She asked.
He rose his hand to her cheek and caressed it softly. "Don't tell me, you forgot what today is.." She stared at him for a moment in slight confusion as she searched her brain. He continued to stare into her eyes as he waited for her to answer. She soon realized what day it was and smiled brightly at him as she closed the gap between them by wrapping her arms around his neck. "Of course not, it's our anniversary. It's been what 2 years now?" He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Try three, Sere." He whispered as he rested his forehead on hers. She giggled softly. "I knew that." He lifted her chin with his index finger and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
She closed her eyes and returned the kiss. He removed his arm from around her waist and pulled something out of his pocket as he pulled out of the kiss. She slowly opened her eyes to find a small black rectangle box in front of her. "Darien.." She breathed as she took the box from his hands. She ran her fingers across the soft velvet before opening it. She gasped as she looked down at the silver and rose gold bracelet laying inside. It had small charms dangling from it, they were silver crescent moons and red rose buds in full bloom. "You like it?" He asked. She smiled and looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "I love it..
End of Flashback
She opened her eyes and looked down at her wrist where the bracelet rested. She ran her fingers across it. It had been almost a year since the battle against Prince Damien and Lady Silveress. Since he died for her. Despite her dreams telling her they would meet again, she was becoming discouraged. They had been reunited with Mina about six months ago, but Darien and Seth were still in the wind. The Guardians had left after Mina's return in search of Seth, they had promised to return when they found him.
"Serena?" A voice asked. She slowly turned around to find four girls standing at the entrance to the rose garden. "Yes?" She asked softly. "What are you doing here?" Rei asked as she stepped closer to Serena. She shrugged her shoulders and turned back to the rose bushes in front of her. "Why haven't we seen him yet?" She asked loud enough so they all could hear. Rei rested a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I don't know Serena, but we will, I know it." She said with a reassuring smile. Serena sighed heavily. "I come here everyday hoping he would be here. It was our special place." She said as her voice began to crack. The other girls walked over to her, surrounding her as tears began to fall from her eyes. "Don't give up Serena, he won't be able to stay away for long." Mina said softly. Serena looked up at her blonde haired friend and gave her a weak smile.
"Come on, lets go back to my place and make some cookies." Lita suggested trying to lighten the mood. Serena smiled over at Lita and nodded in agreement. She had such great friends, she didn't know what she would do without them. Lita wrapped her arm around her shoulder and they walked out of the rose garden together.
He stood in the shadows, in a far corner, in the rose garden and watched her leave the garden silently. He had been watching her ever since he entered the garden. She was so beautiful with her long golden blonde hair and her sapphire blue eyes that held such sadness. He wasn't sure what had drawn him to this place or why he hid in the shadows when he found her standing next to the rose bush. He had a pretty good idea now that it had something to do with her. Serena was the name her friends had called her..."Serena.." He whispered the name to himself...
