Serena ran down the sidewalk, her heart beating rhythmically in her chest. She was scared. No, she was horrified. The scouts had lost the battle and Beryl was on an all out search for them. All the scouts had split up in hopes of confusing them. She could feel the negative energy gaining on her. The world was going to be in complete chaos soon and only she knew about it.

 Suddenly, out of nowhere a thought hit her. Tuxedo mask wasn't there. He had been at the last battle. Why wasn't he now? She was shocked out of her thoughts as she fell to the ground. The sidewalk split up into a jagged ledge and she hit the ground with a thud. She was exhausted, the girls and her had been beaten badly. Her right leg was covered in scratches and cuts as blood streamed from her torn flesh.

She felt her stomach lurch as she thought about the horrible battlefield. There were bodies everywhere. The monsters had attacked to far away for them to get there in time. The monster took their energy by slicing through the innocent bystanders. Then Beryl took the bodies. She didn't understand. But deep down she knew she didn't want to. She rolled over as she coughed up blood. It trickled down her cheek. She could taste it, smell it, it infuriated her. Her eyes stared at the now blackening sky. Serena squeezed her eyes shut as she felt another wave of pain hit her. She could feel herself detransforming.

Suddenly determination filled her as she rolled over again. Her body felt weighed down and she was freezing. She used her arms and good leg to push herself up. On her hands and knees she took a shuddering breath and forced herself into a standing position. She felt the blood flow faster as the world around her grew hazy.

Serena looked around her and thanked God that the arcade was just down the corner. It was early morning now so no one was really out. She was grateful. She screamed in pain as she put pressure on her leg. She limped towards the doors, biting her lip to keep from screaming. She didn't even realize that she had started bleeding from where she bit her lip. It simply mingled.

Serena propped herself up against the sliding doors, about ready to collapse. She saw Andrew grow so white he looked dead. She noticed a mop of raven hair sitting on one of the stools. Darien seemed to notice Andrew and turned around mug in hand. She watched as it slipped through his fingers and shattered into thousands of pieces.

Serena smiled slightly as she watched them frozen in place. She fell to her knees and to her shock Darien was at her side immediately. She looked up at him then Andrew. "Hi guys." Serena mumbled before she passed out. Darien stared at her then picked her up to take her to the back room. Andrew immediately ran over to help.

As they walked back Darien took one last look outside and watched in shock as a large black cloud engulfed the sky.

Hi guys, I'm sorry it's so short. I also know its kinda confusing and dark. Well in my opinion it is. Though I've heard worse. Please review or I won't continue. At least 5 reviews per chapter. Thanx so much!
