Chapter Two: The Downfall

Serena stared at Seiya and slowly sank down on her knees. Forcing back the tears that were threatening to escape, she looked down. She didn't know what to think, how could he cheat on her? He was supposed to be different from other guys. More mature, kind, and loving. After all she was a virgin! And Seiya had never pressured her into anything, he knew that Serena wasn't ready and she thought that he respected that. The thought of her sweet boyfriend cheating on her was inconceivable.

"Seiya..." Serena began.

"No, save your tears. This was bound to happen anyways." Seiya stared at her coldly. "You honestly didn't expect me to stay faithful did you? The minute you told me you wanted to wait till you were married I called Beryl. I knew she would understand my needs."

"Yeah sweetie," Beryl cackled "Seiya here knows he can depend on me for his pleasures. You were nothing but his little toy, he was really just trying to sleep with you and your little friend Mina. He just didn't have the heart to break up with you." She grinned at Serena with a malicious look in her eye.

"No....it's not true...." Serena whispered, a few tears slowly running down her cheeks.

"I am afraid Beryl is right, you have never meant anything to me Serena. After all I am a senior and you are just a lowly freshman. You didn't honestly think that we had anything serious did you? All I wanted was to get into yours and your little friends pants. You're pathetic. In case you haven't figured it out, we're done." Seiyas words cut deep into Serena, the cold look in his eyes showed no remorse.

From her postion on the ground she glared up at Seiya and Beryl. Both of them were terrible. Anger was replaced by Serenas shock and she stood up with fire in her eyes. "How dare you? All you have done is use me. If you didn't want me, then why did you ask me out? Cheating has never been a respectable thing, and as far as I am concerned, you are the pathetic one. You weren't even strong enough to tell me the truth sooner. If anybody is pathetic here, it's you Seiya. Your weak, barely an excuse of a man." and with that she picked herself up and brushed off her skirt. Turning on her heel, she stormed out of the parking lot with her head held high. Despite her strong comback and graceful exit, Serena was breaking on the inside, but she sure wasn't going to show it.

Once she reached the outskirts of the school grounds, she gave in to her tears and ran all the way home. No, it can't be true, this is a dream, its a dream....

After what felt like hours, Serena finally made it to her house two miles away. Great, forgot about the meeting at Rayes, she will understand. The sloping lawns and long driveway looked like another two miles. As she trudged her way up the driveway, she saw a car she didn't recognize, she figured her parents were just having a friend over. She hoped to make it up the stairs to her room before they found her and tried to make her mingle with the guest. Ever so slowly, Serena opened the large front door, hoping to not make very much sound. All she wanted was to sit in her room and cry her eyes out. It was one of the worst days of her life.

When no one came into the ornate front hallway, she closed the door softly and proceeded to walk towards the stairs. But once she reached the stairs she heard someone crying softly, thinking it was her mother, she decided that she should go see what was wrong. Walking over to the door of the study, Serena got a very uneasy feeling in her stomach. Dismissing it, she pushed open the door and immediately the sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach returned. Something was clearly wrong here.

Her mother was tied up to a chair, duct tape encircling her wrists and ankles. Her father, while untied made no move towards his wife. He stood behind his desk with his hands in the air, as if surrendering. A strange man that Serena had never seen before was pointing a gun at her father, and her mothers sobs were steadily growing louder. The stranger had a mad look about him. Dressed in grubby pants and a dirt stained Disneyland t-shirt, Serena had no idea why someone dressed like this would come to her house. The man had dirty, greasy brown hair that touched his shoulder. A large bald spot was beginning to take form on the mans head, and several gray hairs were peeking out between the dark ones on his head. A long untrimmed beard reached a little past his chin. Most of his face was hidden by the beard and his eyes were small and watery. His short, stubby fingers grasped around the gun were shaking, and the mans arm was trembling slightly.

"Get out of my house." Ken Tsukino said unemotionally to a stranger. Ken turned his head towards the door and the look on his face immediately went from angry to terrified. "Serena, get out of here now, please." begged Serenas father. Serenas eyes widened when she saw the fear inscribed on her invincible fathers face. "Serena, go, please!" Irene Tsukino screamed at her daughter frantically. Serena was frozen, she didn't know where to turn. Clearly her parents were in danger but she couldn't just leave them could she?

"Oh so this is your pretty little daughter? So sad that you never let me meet her before now." the stranger said to Ken with with mock amusement, his voice a higher pitch than Serena would have expected. "Well why don't you introduce us now? After all she has gone her whole life without knowing her own uncle."

The look on Serenas face went from shock to confusion. What uncle? Mom and Dad don't have any brothers. Not to mention mom and dad are much better looking than this wacko. Ken looked at the stranger with the most hateful look Serena has ever seen cross her fathers face. "There is a reason that she hasn't ever met you. We don't want our daughter around trash like yourself." The strangers smile was suddenly wiped off his face. "Ken, that hurts." he said with mock disapointment "Well no matter, I will just have to introduce myself then." he finished as he took a step closer towards Serena. "GET AWAY FROM HER!" Irene screamed. Serena backed slowly towards the door, something was obviously not right here.

"Serena darling, I am your Uncle Charlie, don't you remember? Well probably not, the last time I saw you was just after you were born. Ever since then your mommy and daddy wouldn't let me near you." the gleam in his eye was hungry and he stroked a stubby finger down her cheek. He scared the living daylights out of Serena. "But we will be getting to know each other soon enough though, you see, your parents won't be able to keep me away from you now." he spoke tenderly.

"Get away from me." Serena said through gritted teeth. "I don't know you but I know that you are bad news, I suggest you leave before I call the cops." she finished while whipping out her cell phone. "Oh honey, the police won't be able to help you now." he smiled. And with that he pulled a gun out of his pocket and shot her parents both squarely in the head. They both fell to the ground, limp and blood trickled out of the corner of their mouths. All at once everything started spinning, alarms went off in the house and Serena fell to the floor, injured, for Uncle Charlie had shot her in the abdomen. She couldn't see and she couldn't breathe. A pair of feet that she assumed to be Charlies walked out of the room. Serena and her family would all be dead, no one left for Sammy, her brother.

For what felt like hours, must have only been a few minutes. Police and medics arrived at her house and surrounded the place. Serena felt that she was drowning in all the flashing lights and panicking voices. Eyes rolling into the back of her head, Serena felt that she would soon faint.

Blackness was closing in around Serena and she couldn't hear what was going on, all she could feel was strong arms lifting her up and carrying her outside. An ambulence pulled up the driveway and Serena was placed on a stretcher and hoisted into the back of the vehicle. IV's were being poked into her and a breathing mask was placed over her face. Complicated machines spun and whirred as Serena settled into her stretcher. She felt the doors closing and one glimpse out the closing doors showed her two covered bodies, the white sheets stained with blood. The last thing Serena saw through heavy eyes was a fringe of black hair, framing a set of deep blue eyes. For some reason, the eyes made her feel safe. Giving into the unconciousness that was overcoming her, she blacked out.
