Chapter 1: a new dream

Serena looked out her bedroom window at the stars. She sighed, 'will Darien ever love me again,' she thought. Darien had dumped her a while ago without any explanation. She'd almost given up when a ray of hope had been given to her. Darien, as tuxedo mask, had saved her life once again. Not from an attack from a monster but from death itself.

Serena had been caught under the spell of a monster. It had put her to sleep while her energy was being drained away. Darien had saved her simply by giving her a kiss. As she woke up, Serena could feel all the love that he had poured into the kiss as well as the energy he gave her. When she had woken up, she had found nothing had changed between them. Sinking back into depression, she went back to her house.

She sighed again, 'are we really over?' Serena got up from the windowsill and got into her bed for a sleepless night.

Across the street, Tuxedo Mask watched Serena at her window. He too sighed; he wanted to be with her so much but knew he couldn't. Each time he would get close to her, he'd have a dream about her death. If he stayed with her, it would be her fate. It hurt him to see her sad. He wanted to go to her and just hug her, wanted to kiss away her pain. Instead, he turned away from her and jumped in the direction of his apartment.

He lived on the 17th floor of the apartment building. Being a 20 story high rise, he was lucky to have found the place since rent was expensive. But, he had a good view of the city from his balcony and could easily jump to and from it when he needed to. Landing on his balcony, he let his transformation fall away.

He fell back onto his bed and looked at his ceiling. He couldn't stop thinking about Serena. He'd forgotten how soft her lips were and how sweet she tasted. She was both heaven and hell to him.

It took a while, but Darien finally fell asleep, hoping against hope that his nightmare didn't return. But that night he dreamt of something else. Serena stood at the edge of a roof, looking down at the road far below. A tear fell down her already tear stained cheek. With one last look over her shoulder, she took a step forward and let gravity take her down to meet the hard ground below. Darien jerked awake instantly, the image of her nearing the pavement fresh in his mind. He was panting and gripping the sheets of his bed tightly in his hands as he tried to convince himself that it wasn't real.

Darien didn't see Serena for the next few days and each night he'd have the same nightmare. It became more and more vivid with each night he saw it. But still, he couldn't figure out where it was. Next to him, the clock read 9:30, it was time to get up. He groaned as he rolled out from under the sheets turning on his radio he got dressed and went to make himself breakfast.

'A young girl was found dead today. She had committed suicide by jumping off a building. She died instantly when she hit the pavement. Police have not yet figured out who she was. She had no ID on her; but she did wear a JR. high school uniform. Police estimate her to be about 14 years old. The police have started DNA testing to determine who the girl was…'

He stopped in his tracks, a news report came onto the radio that caught his attention and scared him. Without even stopping to turn off his radio, he ran out the door chanting, 'Serena, please be alight.'
