A/n: So this is my first fanfic, tell me it its worth continuing or not. criticism is welcome. not exactly sure where it is going, girls will be introduced eventually.

It wasn't always like this. I wasn't always tardy and exhausted. I used to be a very punctual person, the one student in the class that got straight A's. Now I was constantly tardy, rarely prepared for my tests, and always tired. I thought about my old life, looking deep into the lake that lay before me. I gently tossed a small rock into the lake and watched as the ripples expanded and slowly dissipated. That's what my life was to me, I was being spread to thin; I was slowly dissipating. I used to have loyal and trustworthy friends, but now they seemed more like casual meetings. My friends found me flakey lately and disapproved of my downward spiral over all. So instead of being there for me they pushed me away. My family tried to ignore the change in their daughter, but ignoring the change was worse than actually talking about it. Why did it have to be me? Was there a reason? Apparently someone thought I was up to the task of handling it, oh how I had proved them wrong.

My name is Serena, I am in college now and I have way too much to juggle. I go to school during the day and try to keep up with my homework, but when night falls it seems that the world has other plans for me. My destiny seems to be saving this boy, over and over.

I threw another rock into the water, this time as hard as I could. The water splashed quite loudly and hit me in the face. I did not back away from the onslaught of water but merely welcomed it. It made me feel alive again, it made me feel real.

This sense of realness was quickly taken away as the all too familiar scream in my ear informed me this moment of solitude was over. I quickly changed into my fighting mode and sprinted to where ever the pull was taking me, on my way I found an abandon alley way where I quickly recited three words I hated,

"Moon Crystal Power"

A light surrounded me and soon I was revealed as a warrior. I had no time to get use to this change, though I had gone through it many times now, before I was off sprinting again. I finally heard the cry of the person I was made to protect. I darted through the bushes, grabbing him and rolling away from the attack. This was a usual occurrence, yet the boy still seemed stunned by the sudden action. I quickly let go of the boy and ran to the area the monster was last seen.

"It's too quiet….where did it go?" I looked back at the boy and saw the amusement in his eyes. I was guessing he was amused by the shortness of my skirt. I don't think he ever saw me this close before. I looked at his face and an immediate blush covered it.

This simple gesture was enough to distract me from the attack coming from behind me. I was unprepared and was hit full force by the monster. I skidded to a stop in the hard cement feeling instant pain in my right leg. Looking down I realized I had a deep cut running from my knee to the middle of my shin, and it was bleeding rather profusely. Cursing myself for being distracted I got up and prepared my attack, as I powered up the boy stared at me in amazement, How could she take such a beating and still get up?

I shouted incomprehensible words through the pain I was feeling, but it seemed that that was enough, for in moments the monster was nothing more than dust laying on the floor. It was at this moment that my strength finally left me and I crumbled to the floor clutching my wounded leg. I needed to get to a hospital I knew that, but I just couldn't bring myself to get up. I heard footsteps coming near and instantly went into warrior mode, using any strength I had left in my frail body I pinned the perpetrator to the ground.

"WOAH, slow down, I am just trying to help you!" The boy shouted in my face, he quickly slid from my weakening death grip on him and looked at me with a mocking sense,

"It seems you need to go to a doctor, come on, let me at least help you there," he said as he gently lifted me up, it was then that I grabbed his collar and shook my head no.

"I can't go there, I won't be able to stay transformed much longer, my identity…." Was all I was able to say before a scream of pain passed my lips.

"I'm sorry, but we have too, you will die with those wounds if they aren't treated."

The only reply was a unvarying shake of my head. "I can't…..need to….let me take care of it….only a boy…." was all that I got out before sinking in the black abyss of unconsciousness.
