Dreams of a Passionate Past

Chapter Two: Avoiding the Past and the Present

Serena ran halfway to the park then decided to jog the rest of the way in case someone saw her. She wasn't running at top speed, but it was still really fast for the average person.

When she reached the park she began to run again; quickly finding the main path that spiraled throughout the park. As she ran her hair fell away from around her neck, and she decided to take a break and fix it.

After that she began to run off the path and wandered until she found a very thick and tall tree that she was sure would hide her from the average person. She jumped high into it and settled on a thick branch that let her see the Moon.

As Serena sat there she gazed at the Moon, completely forgetting her hair, and the dream she recently woke from came back to her in full force. She remembered the feel of Endymion's hand sliding up Serenity's thigh, the velvet of his tongue in her mouth, the heat of his breath on her skin….

Ugh!She wailed in her mind as she caught herself getting worked up. Why is this happening to me? Why am I remembering these memories? No. No scratch that; why am I remembering them the way I am? I didn't remember my other memories this way. She thought in frustration. She didn't know what she would do if she remembered all of her past through Serenity, and in her sleep no less. She could just imagine the horror of experiencing her suicide as Serenity again.

Serena sighed mournfully as she leaned her head back against the tree. She couldn't figure out why she was even remembering them anyway. What good are they going to do me? I don't need them to help me face an enemy, and I suppose they could be of help if Darien and I hadn't decided to wait until we were married. She thought to herself then rolled her eyes. Alright, they would definitely help. I've noticed that I react the exact same way Serenity does, so maybe Darien will react the way Endymion does. That would be great to see. She thought with a smile. Then her smiled faded.

What are these memories doing to me?! I'm all smiling at what kind of reaction I can get out of Darien. That's not me! Or maybe it is; maybe it will be when Darien and I cross that particular line. She thought a little curious then sighed. But in the meantime I'm walking around tired and aroused, my thoughts are turning dirty, and I'm sure my actions would be just as dirty if I find myself alone with Darien. She thought as she remembered the goodnight kiss she gave him and sighed longingly.

Just then her thoughts were interrupted by a low scream, and she went to investigate it. She jumped down to the ground and ran in the direction of the scream. She stopped at a distance and peered from behind a tree. She saw a young man in sweats and a t-shirt being attacked by a creature that looked like a lion.

What is with this new enemy looking like animals? It's starting to creep me out. She thought as she summoned her holy grail. But it does look fierce. Maybe a fight is what I need to help get rid of this excitement since I worked myself back up thinking about that last memory. She thought as she transformed quietly so as not to alert the enemy.

She then jogged quietly in a circle, so that she would be able to attack the monster from behind. She stepped carefully through the trees so she wouldn't snap a twig or get her wings caught in the greenery as she closed in on the monster.

By this time the man was lying on the ground looking up at the monster then his eyes shifted to her as she approached. Sailor Moon put a gloved finger to her lips as she made eye contact with the man to make sure he stayed quiet, and watched as he blinked and looked back to the monster.

Sailor Moon then turned her attention back to the monster as well. After looking at it for a long moment she charged it; ramming it into a tree and knocking it to the ground, stunned. She then went and knelt next to the man to check on him.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" She asked as she glanced at the lion monster still on the ground stunned.

"I'm okay. I'm not hurt, but I think you got here just in time or I would have been." The young man said then paused for a moment before adding "Are you okay? I don't mean any disrespect Sailor Moon, but you look kind of tired."

Sailor Moon looked at him and smiled tiredly. "Don't worry about it. You're not the first to ask. I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd get some exercise." She said as she noticed the lion monster getting to its feet. "Looks like you and I had the same idea. Now how about you go finish your run somewhere safer then here." She suggested firmly but softly as she got to her feet and faced the creature. The man quickly thanked her and ran off as fast as he could.

Sailor Moon quickly discovered that the creature was better at throwing energy balls then fighting, and after a few kicks to the stomach and the back the creature was down. So she finished it with her scepter before it could recover, and ran off in the direction of the tree she had been resting in after watching it turn to dust.

As she ran she de-transformed back into her regular clothes, and as she reached the tree she was resting in she stopped and pulled her hair back around her neck.

Serena was about to jump into the tree when a thought came to her. I shouldn't stay here. The girls might come to investigate and find me here, and I really don't feel like talking to them. They might ask me how I got there before them without being contacted, and they also might notice how tired I look just like that man. She thought as she began to run.

She didn't know where she was going as she ran through the city. All she knew was that she wasn't ready to go home, so she let her feet take her wherever they pleased.

She eventually found herself at the starlight tower, and stood there looking at it as memories of the not too distant past washed over her. She then walked around to the back where it over looked the ocean, sat down, and let herself get lost in thought as she sighed.

Will these memories ever stop? It hasn't even been two weeks yet and I feel like everything about me is changing. I might be able to handle them if I was able to remember them like my other memories, but not the way I am now. This is just craziness! She thought with a deep sigh as she leaned against the base of the tower. She let her mind drift aimlessly and was pleased that she hadn't thought of the last memory. That is until she started to remember the kiss she had given Darien earlier that night.

She remembered how she slipped her tongue past his shocked lips, and how his strong arms wrapped around her. Then she remembered how it felt when Endymion kissed Serenity during their intimate moments, and wondered if Darien kissed like that; a kiss that could arouse her in a second.

Serena remembered the heated kiss that Endymion had given Serenity after her first orgasm and she groaned. This is madness! I'm sitting here getting myself even more aroused then I already am, because I can't keep my thoughts out of the gutter! She thought in frustration. I don't think my thoughts are going to get any better and the memories don't seem to be stopping, so I should find some way to help relieve this arousal. She thought as she gazed at the ripples in the water.

I need to find something more strenuous then running to help, because it's definitely not enough. And I'll have to rule out fighting since I can't exactly rely on the enemy to attack, and I wouldn't want them to attack anyway. She thought.

Ugh! I wish I could just go to Darien and get the relief I need, but I know that I can't. And I really don't want to. Darien and I promised each other, and I don't intend to break it. She thought as she remembered the promise.

Serena and Darien had had a long talk after the whole deal with Galaxia was over. They were getting older and knew that their relationship would start to change and become something more, so they promised each other that they would wait until they were married before they slept together. They didn't want Rini coming sooner than she was supposed to, so they decided to refrain from doing anything that would lead them in that direction.

Of course they could always use the many different types of protection there is, but they didn't want to. They wanted their first time together to be nothing but them; they didn't want to worry about condoms or birth control or anything else.

So that meant they weren't allowed to make out in bed, they had to be careful where they put their hands so as not to get one another aroused. It wasn't as hard as others might have thought it would be; Serena and Darien were both virgins and had never seen anyone of the opposite sex naked before, so they didn't have to worry too much.

That is until Serena started to remember their intimate past as Serenity and Endymion. These days she was having problems with that promise even though she was determined not to break it.

I didn't think I would ever have to be frustrated or stressed because of our promise. She thought to herself as she leaned forward, put her forehead on her knees, and wrapped her arms around her legs. She longed to wrap her arms around Darien and rest her head against his chest, and knew that she couldn't do it if she wanted to keep their promise.

But what Serena didn't know was that Darien was there and getting closer by the second.

Darien had woke up out of his sleep when he felt Serena transform, and called her on her cellphone a few minutes later but she didn't answer. He wanted to know if she was okay so he went to the park where he felt and sensed her presence, but the fight was already over and she was nowhere in sight.

He sensed that she was tired along with some other slight emotions he couldn't discern, but had a strong feeling that she hadn't gone home so he used his power to find her. He knelt on the ground and placed his hand on the grass; then closed his eyes and concentrated on the earth. He narrowed his focus to the city and got flashes of the streets, buildings, and people until he came across the one person he wanted to see.

He saw Serena running toward the direction of the ocean, so he stood up and headed in that direction as well. As he ran he transformed into Tuxedo Mask so that he could run at top speed without drawing the wrong type of attention.

After a while Darien found himself at the starlight tower, and de-transformed as he walked to where his senses told him Serena would be. He found her sitting in the back behind the tower with her arms wrapped around her legs and her head resting on her knees.

He sat next to her and watched as she sat up and stretched her arms and legs out in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" He asked quietly.

She knew that he already knew about the fight so she skipped that. "I was having trouble sleeping again and decided to go for a run hoping that it would help." She said, hoping that he wouldn't question her on why she was having trouble.

Darien ran a hand through his hair as he wondered why she was having so much trouble sleeping. I have a feeling that whatever is causing her restlessness is the reason she's been acting so different. He thought as he remembered how her cheerful personality had turned sluggish. She didn't wear bright colors and didn't go out anymore.

He was already seeing less of her because of his residency, but recently she had almost stopped seeing him altogether. He also noticed that he talked to her less. He would call her and they would talk, but it would only last a few minutes when it used to last hours. That was when he called her; she didn't even call him anymore!

Darien knew that this all started a little over a week ago, and was starting to get worried. His princess was changing right before his eyes, and it was not for the better and he felt powerless to stop it. It didn't help that he was sensing weird feelings and emotions through their link. He couldn't figure out exactly what they were since she was blocking most of it, but he knew that it was all part of what was going on with her. As far as he could tell the girls had noticed, but they didn't know why so he knew that she was keeping it all to herself whatever it was.

He didn't want to force it from her, but he wished that she would tell him what was wrong. He didn't want her to go through it alone, but he would try and wait until she was ready to tell him.

"Why are you having so much trouble?" He asked hoping that she would come out and tell him the real problem.

Serena stiffened; she had hoped he wouldn't ask, but he did and she needed to tell him something. She wouldn't tell him the major part, but something close enough.

"I fall asleep but I wake up only a few hours later, and I'm exhausted as if I hadn't slept at all. Then I can't go back to sleep, so here I am running around in the middle of the night." She said. She had told him the truth just not all of it. She did wake up exhausted, and she couldn't go back to sleep after those memories otherwise she'd be in an even worse state then she already was.

"But it's okay. I'm…I'm sure I'll figure something out to help me. As for you…" She said as she grabbed his hand and stood up. She immediately felt electric jolts bolt up her arm and felt like she was going to jump him, so she let his hand go after he stood up. "You need to get back to bed, so you're not late tomorrow." She said as she looked everywhere but at him.

She had noticed what he was wearing when he first arrived, and stretched her arms and legs in an attempt to hide her trembling limbs. He was wearing dark blue jeans and a black button up long sleeve shirt, and he didn't have it buttoned all the way up and he looked so sexy. She just knew that he was going to notice her body trembling.

"You're right. I do need to get some sleep, but I'm going to get you home first." He said as they began to walk. He was in no way satisfied by her answer, and it definitely wasn't lost on him that she wouldn't hold his hand or look at him but he would talk with her more after he got off work. "I know very well that you can take care of yourself, but still….I wouldn't be able to rest easy if I didn't know you were safe at home. Plus I know you're tired, so you should try and get some more sleep or at least get some rest." He finished.

She knew that he was right but she couldn't do it. If she slept she would experience another memory, and if she just rested her eyes or something she would fall asleep from lack of activity and exhaustion. But he didn't need to know that.

"Yeah you're right. I'll do my best, and hopefully tomorrow I'll be somewhat better." She said while they walked.

They walked pretty fast, taking short cuts the whole way to her house. When they got there she wanted to hug and kiss him goodnight, but knew that would lead to things she didn't want him to know she was thinking about. So she said goodbye and goodnight, then ran into her front yard and headed to the spot under her window and jumped to her balcony.

Serena turned around and saw him watching her, so she smiled and waved. She watched as he slowly waved back and then started walking away. She then went into her room and closed her window doors after that and looked at the time. 3:30 am!She thought in shock. I was only out for an hour and a half?! Ugh. What am I going to do for the rest of the night? There is no way I am going back to sleep. She thought as she leaned against the wall next to her window.

She closed her eyes and breathed deeply hoping that a solution would come to her instead of racy thoughts. I could take a bath. It would help pass the time, and I would be able to relax. She thought as she opened her eyes and went to grab a change of underwear and a pair of dark blue jeans and a thick black turtleneck sweater.

After Serena got to the bathroom she filled the tub with water as hot as she could stand then put her hair up and slipped into her bath.

Ah. This feels great. This is exactly what I needed; a nice hot relaxing bath to get rid of the tension and stress. She thought as she leaned her head back against the wall and sat lower in the water while stretching her legs out.

I wonder what Darien is doing right now. I know he's home by now, so maybe he's on his way to sleep. She thought as she closed her eyes. I wonder what it would be like to take a hot bath with Darien. I can just imagine it. Both of us sitting at opposite ends of the tub or better yet…I could sit with him. Leaning against his chest feeling his manhood against my back. She thought as she ran her fingers through the water.

His hands would roam my body while his lips worked on my neck, and I would sit there enjoying it all; completely at his mercy. Maybe I would let my hands…Her thoughts stopped as she realized what she was doing.

"Great! Now I'm fantasizing about Darien and myself in a tub. I'm getting worse. I never use to fantasize about Darien." She said to herself as she quickly finished her bath and got dressed. She wasn't going to stay in there any longer since it was relaxing her way more than she wanted.

After that Serena decided to clean and organize her room. She didn't really want to, but if it kept her awake then she would do it.

Serena began by picking up her clothes from the floor and separated them into dirty and clean piles then put them away in their appropriate places. She then picked up books and papers that were lying around the room and put them away. The only thing left to do was make her bed.

She looked at her bed sitting there innocently, not knowing the pleasure and frustration she experienced while sleeping in it, and stepped over to it. She grabbed her pillow and put it on the floor then began to straighten the sheets. As she grasped the sheet flashes of the last memory she dreamed about came to her.

She then gasped as he suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her; holding her close to him. "I love you so much." He whispered in her ear causing her to tremble slightly.

"I love you beyond words." She whispered back to him, and gasped again as he lifted her bridal style and walked to her bed. He placed her in the center of the bed and began kissing her with heated passion as his hand explored her body.

Serena blinked and let out a slow breath as she pulled the sheet up to the head of her bed and began to tuck it in.

She trembled as his hand slowly slid up her thigh, over her hip, up her trembling stomach and cupped her breast. He gently squeezed her breast then pinched her nipple slightly but firmly causing her to arch into his hand. He then began kissing down her neck and chest until he reached her other breast and covered it with his mouth.

Serena shook her head trying to clear the images as she continued to make her bed, but her breathing had turned heavy and her eyelids were low over her eyes.

"Come to me." She said as she reached out to wrap her arm around his neck, and he descended on her quickly kissing her with a fierce passion that defied logic arousing her again instantly. She ran her fingers through his hair and bent her leg and pressed it against him as she felt his weight on her.

She placed her pillow at the head of her bed when she was done making it and smoothed out her comforter as she tried to ignore the trembling of her body.

Endymion then pulled her to him and kissed her as he rolled on top of her. His hand slid to her thigh and gripped it as he began to rub his erection against her womanhood.

Serena made a sound between a moan and a groan as she remembered how Endymion had teased Serenity before they went at it.

This is not good. Not good at all. She thought as she turned off the light and left her room. Those flashes of her recent dream left her hot, aroused, and worse…wanting more.

Along with being aroused Serena was hungry. She couldn't remember the last time she ate since the memories were all she could think about lately, so she decided to spend the rest of the night eating and distracting herself with TV.

The night passed quickly as she ate junk food and watched infomercials and late night movies. Serena was able to keep her mind from all thoughts of the memories and Darien, and was able to relax and let her arousal fade. She was glad for it because her family was starting to wake up.

Her mother was the first to come down, then her father, and her brother was last. They all asked her why she was up so early especially since it was only 7 am, and she was known for sleeping as late as she could.

"I couldn't sleep. I had a lot on my mind." She said to each of them when they asked. It was true; she did have a lot on her mind, and she really hoped that it would stay away for a while.

After that the morning went by reasonably well. Her brother left to go hang out with some friends, and told her the next time she saw him he would have a ton of questions for her. Her father was unusually quiet before he left, and she didn't have a good feeling about it. Her mother was her usual self, and after her father and brother left her mother started to clean the house.

As the day went by Serena continued to watch TV, but everything she saw reminded her of the memories and she began to compare Darien with Endymion.

I know they're the same person, but the things Endymion can do…..uh I mean did do are just…wow. She thought as she flipped through the channels. Darien has never acted like that because of our promise, but I still wonder if he can do those things.

She then felt his hands leave her head and slide down her back, and she let out a slow breath as she felt one of his hands slide up her side and brush against her breast. She then felt the same hand come up and cup her small but full breast through her gown, and she arched her back pushing her breast further into his hand. He then began to squeeze it gently and run his thumb back and forth over her nipple causing her to moan in pleasure.

Serena sighed at that remembrance. Darien's only touched me like that once or twice, and that was before we made the promise. I wonder if I can get him to change the promise a little. She thought as she continued to flip through the channels. I just want to know if he's like his past self when it comes to that. I would love to see him do things his past self has done. I'd love to feel it even more. She thought as she heard her cell phone ringing in her subspace pocket.

I wonder who that is. She thought as she got her phone out of her subspace pocket. Mina.

"Hey there Venus. What's up?" She said after answering her phone.

"Nothing. Just wanted to know if you were up for some shopping. I'm dragging Amy and Lita along too, so how about it?" Mina asked.

"Oh sorry Mina. I don't really feel like it. I'm just too tired and I have so much on my mind." Serena said and Mina sighed and was quiet for a long moment.

"Well get some rest princess. I'll call back tomorrow, and you better be ready for me." Mina said with a laugh.

"I'll do my best. Bye V." She said, not making any promises.

"Bye." She heard Mina say and then she hung up.

I can't imagine being around the girls right now. They would probably be able to tell what I'm going through; I'm sure it would be written all over my face. She thought with a sigh as her phone rang again. She looked and saw that it was Raye this time.

"Hey what's up?" She said as she answered.

"I've got a hot date tonight and I wanted to see if you and Darien wanted to double with me." Raye asked, and Serena repeated what she had told Mina.

"Plus Darien might be too tired, and if it's really a hot date you wouldn't want to double with us. What if things start to get really good between the two of you? You wouldn't want me and Darien there now would you?" Serena asked playfully hoping to mask the bitterness in her voice. She would love for things to get really good between her and Darien.

"Yeah you're right. Plus if things don't go so well I'm not sure I would want you two to see that either." Raye said with a laugh.

"I guess that's true." Serena said.

"Well get some sleep Serena okay? None of us like to see you walking around tired you know." Raye said, and again Serena repeated what she told Mina and they said goodbye.

Serena's mind immediately flew back to what she was thinking about before she started getting all the phone calls. Ummm…..Darien. She thought with a sigh. I wonder if Darien would like to see me take my panties off like Endymion does in the memories. I wonder if his hands move like they did in the past. I know that he likes to run his fingers through my hair like he did in the past, and that I react the same way I did in the past. She thought as she stared blankly at the TV.

I would love to feel his hands in my hair. In fact I'd love to feel his hands all over me. Maybe I should go see him at the hospital; his break should be coming up....Ugh! Stop. Stop. Stop! She thought as she leaned forward, putting her head in her hands. She couldn't believe that she had just thought about going to Darien's work to see him; like she was going to get a quickie or something.

I'm starting to lose it. I really need some sleep, but if I sleep I'll dream about our memories and I don't want to. I'm already having trouble with my thoughts because of the memories so far, and the more I remember the more I want to be with Darien. And I can't because of our promise. Ugh! She thought in frustration just as her cell phone rang again.

Serena looked at her phone as she wondered who it was this time. Darien. She thought as the phone rang again. I can't talk to him. Not with what I was just thinking; that's probably why he called. Who knows what I would say; not to mention how I might react to his voice. Just thinking about the sound of his voice has me tingling in pleasure. She thought as the phone stopped ringing.

After the phone stopped ringing she looked at the TV and turned it off. It wasn't helping her anymore and she need to distract herself, so she put her phone in her pocket and went in search of her mother. She found her in the kitchen starting dinner.

"Hey mom." She said as she sat at the table.

"Hey yourself. Are you going out with your friends tonight or going to spend some time with Darien?" Her mother asked and she blanched. It was like she couldn't escape him; even while talking to her mother. She had to change the subject and quick.

"No I hadn't planned on leaving the house. I'm just too tired. Plus I wanted to talk to you." She said as she watched her mom cut up potatoes. "You've had some time to think about what you've learned about me. What do you think so far?" She asked, and her mother was silent for a few moments before she spoke.

"At first all I could think about was how much danger you had been in all these years with what you do, and then I started to wonder how I had never noticed before. You looked just like Sailor Moon. Especially with that hairstyle of yours. I don't think anyone else has that style." Her mother said with a laugh.

"Then I started to wonder how you became Sailor Moon in the first place. How did you learn how to fight? How did you know what to do?" She asked and Serena laughed at her own scattered brain. How could she forget to explain how she became a scout?

"It all started with Luna." She began and watched in amusement as her mother stopped what she was doing and looked at her like she was crazy.

"Luna? Your cat?" She asked.

"Yes the very same. When I first saw Luna some little kids were harassing her and had put a band aid on her forehead." Serena said and began to explain how she helped Luna with the band aid, then how she had come to her in her room later that day and told her that she had been looking for her for a long time. Then she explained how Luna had given her the brooch and told her what to say.

"I was so shocked and freaked that shouting 'Moon Prism Power Makeup!' had actually worked, and then I stood there in my room looking at what I was wearing. It was so weird." She said as she remembered her first scout suit. Then they heard the front door open, and moments later watched as her father walked into the kitchen.

"Hello sweet heart. How was work?" Her mother asked him.

"It was fine." He said distractedly as if his mind was elsewhere. The bad feeling she had had when he left came back in full force.

"I was just telling mom how I became Sailor Moon; you know, how it all started." She said to her father.

"I wanted to talk to you about that; you being Sailor Moon I mean." She heard him say as he began to walk around the room. "I've thought about everything we've learned all night and all day and I've come to the conclusion or a decision rather." Serena heard him say as she wondered what that decision was. "I've decided that it is just too dangerous for you to be Sailor Moon no matter how many people there are to protect you." He said in a firm confident voice.

Serena looked at him blankly; almost as if she hadn't heard him. "Excuse me? I'm not sure I heard you?" She asked in a hesitant- shocked voice.

"You heard me Serena. I've decided that you cannot be Sailor Moon. I won't allow it." He said in that same firm confident voice as if he expected no argument.

Many things were going through Serena's mind. Shock at what her father had said. Anger that he had even thought of such a thing, and expected her to go along with it. She was also curious at what he thought she was going to do.

Serena took a deep breath as she closed her eyes and slowly let it out. "Are you trying to tell me that I cannot be what I am destined to be? That I must forgo my birthright?" She asked in a calm quiet voice; drawing on the princess within her that was fast becoming a queen.

"I wouldn't have put it that way, but yes that is exactly what I'm saying." Her father said.

"I refuse to acknowledge such a demand!" She said as she opened her eyes to look at her father. "You may be my father, but you do not have the right to tell me who I can and cannot be." She said in a calm but angry voice as she got to her feet.

"That's right; I am your father, and you will do as I say." He said in a firm fatherly voice.

"I will not!" She shouted. She may be a future queen, but she wasn't queen yet and she was going to show her anger. "I understand that you're worried about me, but you clearly don't understand the magnitude of what you're demanding." She said angrily as she looked at her father with defiance in her eyes.

All her mother could do was stand there; looking back and forth between the two of them. She had never heard her daughter speak with such passion about anything, and the words that were coming out of her mouth and how she used them! She was beginning to understand why Serena was Sailor Moon and why the Scouts respected her so much.

"You don't understand; you don't have all the information, so you..." She began but her father interrupted.

"I don't need all the information to know that it's too dangerous. Always risking your life; I won't allow it!" He shouted.

"You don't have a choice!" She screamed. "I've risked my life for this planet many times, and will continue to do so as long as I have the power. It is my destiny, my choice to protect this planet along with my prince. We are the only ones capable whether you like it or not!" She shouted and stormed out of the house slamming the door behind her.

They didn't notice that she had said planet, and not city.

She couldn't stay there. She was so angry and agitated that she could feel the warmth of her crescent moon coming through on her forehead, and knew that she had to leave and calm down before she lost control of her powers. It didn't help that she was tired, sexually frustrated, and slightly aroused from her thoughts about Darien earlier.

Serena roamed the city, taking in the sights and sounds to calm herself. As she walked her phone began to ring, and when she checked it she saw that it was Darien.

Oh no. I can't talk to him. Not with how I'm feeling right now. She thought and she put her phone back in her pocket and ignored the ringing. She knew that he could feel and sense the anger she was feeling, and she wanted to see him, talk to him and let him know what her father had said but she couldn't.

She couldn't be around him or talk to him with her hormones going wild, and she was starting to become nervous and afraid to see him because she didn't know how she would react to him.

As Serena roamed the city Darien kept calling, and she eventually turned her phone off. If there's an attack the girls can use the communicator to contact me. She thought and then sighed. I know Darien is really concerned, but I just can't be around him right now. I've got to stay away from him. She thought as she kept walking around. She knew that she would be harder to find if she kept on the move.

Serena eventually went home when she checked the time and saw that it was almost 11pm. She didn't want her parents to worry even though she was still upset with her father.

When she got home all the lights were off, so she headed up stairs to her room. She noticed that her parents' bedroom door was open, so she looked in and waved at them to let them know that she was home then went to her room.

After she closed the door to her room she looked around taking in the clean floor and her comfy bed. She was so tired but she refused to get in her bed and go to sleep. She didn't want to experience another memory, and as long as she was avoiding Darien she would avoid Endymion as well.

I'll sit on the floor. That should keep me awake. She thought as she headed for her window doors. She sat down and leaned against the window hoping that the cold glass would help keep her awake.

Serena sat there leaning against the window as the moonlight bathed her. She sat there staring out the window with tired half closed eyes not realizing that the moonlight was relaxing her tired body into sleep until it was too late.

Serena opened her eyes and found herself standing in a large room that was only lit by moonlight coming in through the huge balcony windows, which told her that she was on the Earth and in Endymion's room. She looked around at the now familiar dark blue walls, and the king size four-poster bed with dark navy blue curtains attached. There were also comfortable looking armless chairs situated throughout the room, and vases of fresh red roses sitting on small round tables in each corner of the room.

She knew that it was useless to try and escape the memory. She couldn't open doors, and even if the door was open and she was able to leave she would find herself mysteriously back in the room as if she hadn't left. So she went to stand near the balcony window next to one of the vases of roses just as the door to the room opened.

After Endymion opened the door Serenity walked into his bedroom lost in thought. She was on the Earth to try and make peace between the people of the Moon and Earth, but of course they didn't know that she was going to spend the night in Endymion's bedroom. She had got to spend the entire day watching Endymion, and loved how he looked on the Earth and the way he acted among his people.

'He looked so in control, so in command, so handsome, so sexy!' She thought as she walked over to his bed and wrapped an arm around one of the posts and closed her eyes. She leaned against the post as she thought about how careful she had to be that day when she looked at Endymion.

If she looked at him too long people would notice, if she didn't look at him enough people would notice, and if they saw the look in her eyes when she did look at him they would definitely know that something was going on. But now that they were alone she didn't have to restrain herself anymore, and she couldn't believe how badly she wanted him.

"You have been quiet all evening." She heard Endymion say, and could tell that he was standing in front of her.

"Yes. I was concentrating." She said with her eyes still closed.

"And are you still concentrating?" He asked and she could hear the underlying question in his voice.

"No. I am free now to do what I have wanted to do all day." She said as she slowly opened her eyes and looked him over from head to foot.

"And what is that prey tell?" He asked and watched as she gripped the post, and took a step back as if she was trying to hold herself back. He then watched as she slowly walked to him and ran her fingers over his chest, and felt them travel up to the nape of his neck and begin to pull him down for a kiss.

Serena leaned against the wall smelling the roses as she felt the arousal Serenity was feeling for Endymion, and listened to their conversation.

'She looks so calm, but on the inside she's struggling for control. And I can't blame her, Endymion looks so hot.' She thought as she gazed at Endymion from behind. He was wearing black evening pants and a black dress shirt. She could tell that Serenity was, of course, wearing her white gown because she was wearing the same thing.

She then saw and felt Serenity kiss Endymion, and that was like a trigger for the pulling sensation she always felt before she was dragged into Serenity's body. Only this time she wasn't sure if she wanted to resist or not.

'Does it matter?' She thought as she was pulled into Serenity's body. Once inside she felt Serenity pressed against every inch of Endymion's perfect body, and did nothing to resist it as she felt Endymion's strong arms wrap around Serenity.

As they kissed Endymion's hands traveled up and down the curves of her body then they stopped at her hips, and he pulled her pelvis even closer to his so that she could feel what she was doing to him. He then felt Serenity begin to push him back, and he went along with it. He knew the layout of his room and knew that she was headed for the nearest chair.

Serenity pushed Endymion and he fell into the chair. She then hitched up her gown and straddled him, and blushed at what she was doing. 'I cannot believe I just did that. What is going on with me?' She thought as she looked into his shocked eyes.

'I wonder what has got her so worked up. We have only come from dinner, and we have not done anything yet.' He thought in shock as he looked into her eyes, but he wasn't complaining since he was aroused by her behavior.

Endymion kissed Serenity passionately as his hands slid along her back, and he felt her fingers running through his hair. He also noticed that she couldn't sit still, and kept fidgeting around on him, which aroused him even more.

Serenity was so aroused that she couldn't stop moving, and when she felt him get hard it made her move even more until she could take it anymore. She broke the kiss and got off him to take her panties off.

Endymion watched as flashes of her legs were revealed as she shifted her gown and took her sky blue panties off, then he stood and pulled down his pants and underwear and sat back down.

Serenity then hitched up her gown again, and straddled him slowly since she was nervous. She had never taken the lead before.

"Relax; go slowly." Endymion said quietly as he struggled to keep himself from grabbing her and pulling her down on him.

Serenity lowered herself on him slowly, and let out a slow breath as she felt him inside her. Then she began to move on him as she wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him.

Endymion moved his hands to her waist and helped guide her as she moved. After a while he needed something else to do with his hands, so he pulled out the pins in her buns and took her hair down. As they kissed he ran his fingers through her hair and twirled it around his fingers. He felt her tremble at his action and he smiled, loving that he could do that to her.

Serenity then broke the kiss, unable to continue as the heat built in her. She closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip hard as she moved, and felt Endymion's finger gently pull her lip free and run his thumb over it. She then placed her forehead against his as she started to breathe quicker and move faster on him.

Endymion's breathing began to pick up also and he wrapped his arms around her holding her close to him. He then began to move in rhythm with her, unable to sit still as they got closer to their climax.

He then felt Serenity hug him and listened as she moaned in his ear. Then he felt her lips pressed against his neck and heard her whimpering as she rode out her orgasm. He closed his eyes and moaned loudly as he felt his own orgasm come along.

Serena was shocked at what Serenity did, but she knew that if she was as aroused as Serenity was then she wouldn't care if it happened in a chair, the bed, or the floor. As long as it happened!

'As shocking as that was it felt really good.' She thought as she felt Serenity moving again. 'Is she really moving again? Once is never enough for this girl…him either actually.' She thought.

They sat there for a while just holding each other as they caught their breath. Then Serenity pulled away slightly so she could look into Endymion's eyes as she ran her fingers through his hair. She then began to move very slowly as she gazed into his deep ocean blue eyes. 'I want more.' She whispered in her mind.

As if in response to her unvoiced demand, Endymion slid his hands from around her to her hips, then worked them under her gown and rubbed up and down her thighs as she looked into her eyes. He felt her tremble but she didn't stop moving and neither did he.

His hands then slid around her back and found the zipper to her gown. He unzipped it and watched as it drifted down as she moved, exposing her breasts. His hands then came up and covered them as his eyes moved back to hers. He squeezed and massaged them as he looked into her eyes wanting to see the effect he had on her.

Serenity's eyelids lowered at the feeling, and she looked into his eyes for as long as she could then closed them and arched her back pushing her breasts further into his hands. She let her head fall back as she sped up a little, and let her hands slide from his hair to grip his shoulders as she began to moan softly.

"Tell me what you were concentrating on today." Endymion said in a deep low voice as he continued to squeeze her breasts.

"I…I thought you looked so in control, and...and so in command, and so…so sexy." She breathed haltingly in a whisper. "I had to force….. myself to concentrate otherwise I…..I would have spent the entire day staring at you and dreaming of this very moment." She finished in a strangled whisper as she moved on him.

Endymion slid his hands from her breasts and pulled her head to his and began to kiss her. He had been thinking about her all day as well, and loved her all the more for how she kept control of herself. He felt her hands go back to his hair and grip him as if to hold him there as she shifted her hips.

When he felt her shift her hips it was like something inside him snapped, and he couldn't take sitting there anymore. He gripped her waist with one hand and the back of one of her thighs with the other, and bolted out of the chair and leaned her against the nearest wall.

Serenity quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and her long legs around his waist. She was careful about it since she still had her high heels on. 'Maybe I should take them off.' She thought, knowing somewhere in the back of her mind that it could hurt him.

"Leave them on." Endymion said in a low husky voice as if he had read her mind, then began to kiss her rough and hard as he thrust into her. He thrust into her hard causing her to slide up and down the wall with each thrust.

'I am being too rough. I know I am hurting her, but I cannot help it. I just have a feeling that she might like it, and I feel like I cannot get close enough.' He thought as he heard her whimper into his mouth in pain, but held onto him tighter.

'Oh great Selene….what is this feeling? I have never felt this way before. As if my blood is on fire. Endymion has never responded this way; he has never been rough with me…..and I like it! I want him to go faster and harder.' Serenity thought as they continued to kiss roughly.

It soon got to the point where she couldn't kiss him anymore, and he greedily moved his mouth to her neck and began to suck hard very hard as he felt the blood rushing through her veins. Serenity moaned at the feeling and clung to him as he thrust into her faster and harder.

Serenity's moans soon turned to panting then to her rambling mindlessly as she began to climax. "Oh…I need…I need…I want….Oh….Oh…." She rambled and Endymion smiled against her neck. Pleased that he had gotten her to the point where she couldn't even form a coherent sentence.

Her mindless rambles quickly turned to her screaming his name as he thrust into her hard. Even though she was in complete bliss during her orgasm she could feel when he came inside her and it caused her to half moan half scream at the feeling.

Serena's eyes shot open but she couldn't move because she was trembling so badly. She gasped in air as she felt her womanhood throbbing from the memory of Serenity's climax.

She then blinked rapidly as the memory replayed in her mind. Oh my god! I can't believe that they did it in a chair and against a wall…with their clothes on! Well most of their clothes on. She thought in shock. She was even more shocked that she liked it.

I wonder if Darien would do that, but then I'd have to get him to change his mind about waiting until we're married. She thought and was shocked at herself for thinking it, but she quickly pushed her shock away as she wondered how she could get him to change his mind.

I could try and seduce him. Darien is a man with needs. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard. She thought, then shook her head to try and clear her mind when she realized what she was doing.

Serena then sat up and concentrated on her condition and surroundings. She saw that it was light outside and that she was still on the floor in front of her window doors.

That memory lasted longer than the others. She thought as she got shakily to her feet. She was still trembling and her womanhood was still throbbing. She also noticed that her breasts were heavy, her nipples were hard, and her lips were more swollen then they usually were when she woke up from a memory.

Ow! It hurts. She thought as she began to walk slowly to her closet. She remembered very clearly Endymion being rough with Serenity, but she didn't think she would be sore when she woke up. Just great! I'm sore, hot, exhausted, and horny. She thought and then gasped.

Where did that word come from? And how do I know what it means? She thought in bewilderment as she grabbed yet again another pair of clean underwear, a pair of black sweat pants, and a pullover hoody.

She then went to the bathroom, pulled her hair up since she still didn't have the strength to wash it, and took a hot shower. She stayed in for a while letting the hot water sooth her body then she dried off and wrapped the towel around herself.

When she passed by the mirror to get her clothes she glanced at it, and saw something on her neck. She turned back to it sharply to look at her neck, and saw a purple round mark just below her left ear.

Where did that come from? I haven't fallen or hurt myself, and I certainly haven't been near Darien so… Her thought trailed off as she remembered what Endymion had done in the memory.

It soon got to the point where she couldn't kiss him anymore, and he greedily moved his mouth to her neck and began to suck hard very hard as he felt the blood rushing through her veins.

Oh no…..this can't be happening. This just can't be happening. Now I really have to stay away from Darien. How am I supposed to explain this to him? A hickey of all things! She thought in panic, as she got dressed.

This was the first time she came out of a memory with any marks on her, but then she had stopped looking into mirrors when she woke from them and she wasn't examining herself. She had been spending less time with the girls, and even lesser time with Darien so they wouldn't have noticed. Her family hadn't said anything, so she hoped that they hadn't noticed anything.

Serena then went to her room and brushed her hair, and was glad that when she pulled it around her neck it hid her hickey. After that she grabbed her phone, turned it on, and checked her messages.

Darien, Mina, Mina, Raye, Darien, Mina again, Raye, and Raye. She named them off as she listened to their messages. The fact that Mina and Raye had been the ones to leave so many messages told her that they had felt some strong vibes coming from her because of her argument with her father, and she knew that Darien was worried since she knew that he didn't like to leave messages.

She hated to put him through all of the worry, but she didn't know what else to do. She was so nervous and afraid of what would happen when she saw or talked to him with her hormones raging the way they were, and the new development with her waking up from the memories with marks that Endymion left on Serenity was just too much.

Darien doesn't need to know about this. He's already going through a lot with his residency, and then this new enemy shows up. He doesn't need what's happening to me to add to his stress level. She thought as she decided not to call him back. Plus, I'd probably try and seduce him over the phone, and that would not be good. She thought as she called Raye back.

"Hey Raye. Just got your messages, so here I am calling you back." She said when Raye answered.

"Hey are you okay? I got some serious vibes coming from you yesterday. I had even decided that if you didn't call me back before the morning was over then I was going to come over to your house." Raye said in a rush.

"Yeah I'm okay. I just had an argument with my father, and I was upset and didn't want to talk to anyone. I hope I didn't disrupt your hot date." She said.

"Oh no no. I was distracted, but it went well. We're going out again tonight." Raye said happily.

"Wow this guy must really be great if he's living up to your standards and putting up with your temper." Serena said with a laugh.

"Well he hasn't seen my temper yet, but he is living up to my standards." She said with a small laugh.

"Raye? What about Chad? I thought you liked him." She said quietly as she sat on her bed. She quickly got up when she realized where she was sitting and went to sit outside on her balcony.

"I do but it's just weird to try and talk to him in that way, and the fact that he lives here and I have to be even more careful with my secret doesn't help the situation." She said a little sadly.

"I hadn't thought of it that way." Serena said as she thought about how Raye had to hide her other identity from Chad, her grandfather, and now this new guy of hers.

"I like this guy but I like Chad more. I just wish it wasn't so awkward between us. You know?" Raye said.

"Don't worry Raye. I'm sure it will all work out soon." She assured her.

"I hope so. Well, I'm going to go. I still have to do my chores throughout the temple. Are you sure you're okay?" She asked again.

"Yes I'm sure. Don't worry about me okay?" She said fondly.

"You know I can't help it." She said with a smile in her voice.

"Fine then. Oh….don't forget to let me know how your date goes." Serena said.

"Don't worry I won't. Talk to you later." Raye said.

"Bye." She said, and hung up. One down one to go. She thought as she called Mina.

"V babe. Just got your messages and wanted to let you know that I am doing fine." She said when Mina answered.

"Are you sure? I felt a lot of….umm….passion coming from you yesterday…..and last night." Mina said in a hesitant somewhat embarrassed voice.

Serena stopped breathing and her eyes widened. Did she say last night too? That means she felt my emotions from the memory. She thought; shocked and panicked but recovered quickly.

"Well I argued with my dad yesterday and I don't remember what I dreamed last night, but I'm sure that I'm okay." She said, hoping that Mina couldn't tell she was lying.

"Alright if you say so." Mina said quietly, not convinced. "So did you get enough rest? Wanna go out? We could catch a movie or something." She suggested, her voice becoming bubbly.

"No sorry. I'm going to try and see if I can talk some since into my dad, and I also wanted to continue talking to my mom. I was explaining how I became Sailor Moon when my dad came home." Serena said.

"Well that's always a good story. Don't forget to put as much detail as possible." Mina said with a small laugh.

"Don't worry I won't. Talk to you later." Serena said.

"You know it." Mina said then hung up.

That was close. Although I don't think she believed all of what I said. She thought as she headed for the kitchen. She wasn't hungry, but she wanted to see if anything had changed with her dad.

Turns out her mother had talked some since into her father, and her passionate words from the evening before had gotten to him.

"I still don't like it. It's just so dangerous." Her father said in a defeated voice.

"I know it's dangerous dad, but like I said yesterday, you don't understand. You don't have all the information." She said as she sat down across from him at the table.

"My friends are here to protect me, and so is Darien. They have already died a number of times protecting me; have faith in them, and please, please don't forget that I am capable of protecting myself." She reminded him.

"Haven't you noticed over the years how Sailor Moon's outfit has changed? It's because I get stronger; my power increases. Like with my outfit as Eternal Sailor Moon. It will be my strongest as a sailor scout." She continued, reminding herself that in a few years she would no longer be a scout.

"You make it sound as if you won't...or Sailor Moon won't get stronger." Her father said in a hopeful voice. Thinking that she wouldn't be a sailor scout for long, and therefore wouldn't be in danger.

"Well that's half right. Eternal Sailor Moon is my last form as a sailor scout." She said quietly. She was going to miss being Sailor Moon, but then an image of Darien's future self flashed through her mind looking powerful and sexy, and she had to close her eyes and compose herself.

I guess I have to avoid thoughts and images of Darien's future self as well. She thought as her mother began to speak.

"So does that mean you'll just stop being a sailor scout or that you just won't get any stronger?" Her mother asked. She wasn't relieved like her husband was; she knew that there was more to it.

"I'll get stronger; I just won't be a scout anymore." She said simply. She wanted them to come to the realization on their own. For them to realize the actual significance of how she had introduced herself the other night.

Her mother caught on first she could tell by the look on her face. Happiness, shock, astonishment.

"So does that mean…..what you said the other night….how you fully introduced yourself to us…." She said haltingly and Serena smiled. "Oh….that's why they all addressed you and Darien like that….getting on their knees like that. I didn't realize; there was so much going on I thought it was just because of the past." Her mother said excitedly.

Her father sat there confused. His happiness and relief at her not being Sailor Moon for much longer faded. "I don't understand. What are you saying honey?" He asked his wife.

"Don't you see? Don't you remember how she presented herself that night? She won't be a scout anymore because she's going to be something much more." She said to him.

Serena could see that her father wasn't seeing it yet, so she decided to just tell him.

"Dad Eternal Sailor Moon's power is second greatest to that of the queen. When the time comes my powers will increase, and I will become Neo Queen Serenity." Serena said with a smile. She had mixed feelings about her ascension; she was nervous and scared, but she was also excited.

"I don't know what to say. I….I need to think about this." He said as he stood up. "I'll see you all after I get home." He said as he left for work.

She knew that he had accepted who she was. Not like he had a choice. She thought. She wasn't going to stop being who she was because he thought it was too dangerous. She was well aware of the dangers, and had accepted them long ago.

She then looked back to her mom and saw her smiling.

"I can't believe that you're going to be a queen. Do you know when it's going to happen or will you have to just wait until your powers increase?" She asked as she picked up her cup of coffee.

"Both actually." She said with a smile. She was happy that her mother was taking it so well, but she had to be careful what she said. Her mother didn't know what she was going to be queen of. "Well? When does it happen?" Her mother asked.

"Sorry mom. I can't tell you. We shouldn't even know, but there was no helping it." She said.

"How did you find out?" Her mom asked.

"An enemy from the future came here a few years ago to destroy the city knowing that if he succeeded the future city would be destroyed also. We had to travel to the future to help with the situation, and that's how we found out." She finished.

"Wow. Did you get to talk to your future self?" Her mother asked.

"No I didn't." She said, not elaborating; she didn't want to reveal the condition her future self was in.

And so they spent the rest of the day talking. Serena finished her story about how she became Sailor Moon, and how Luna turned out to be her royal adviser on the Moon. She then learned that Sammy had spent the night at a friend's, and wouldn't be home until dinner. She managed to keep herself calm when her mother noticed how tired she looked. She told her that she had slept all night, but that she just didn't feel like she had gotten any rest.

I'm glad that's all she noticed. If she saw the hickey on my neck she'd probably think I stormed out of here yesterday and went straight to Darien's for some 'comfort'. Not that I didn't want to. She thought as her mother began to ask about Darien. Noooooo!She thought frantically as images of the last memory began to creep into her mind.

What if I say something dirty or let something from the memories slip? She thought in panic as her mother asked how she found out that he was Tuxedo Mask and how she found out that he was her prince.

Serena was able to answer her without embarrassing herself, but it was already too late. As soon as her mother said his name it was like a trigger that released all the thoughts and feelings she had successfully held back since after she had gotten out of the shower.

But even so, they continued to talk about him. Her mother had always liked Darien, but she seemed to like him even more with each piece of information that she learned. So Serena continued to answer her questions, although she was very careful with what she said.

After a while Serena looked at her watch and realized that Darien was about to leave the hospital. 6pm. I have to get out of here. He might come here to see me. She thought as she stood up from where she was sitting on the couch. They had migrated throughout the house during their conversation.

"Hey mom? I think I'm going to go for a walk and get some air." She said to her mom.

"Okay. Just be back for dinner. You haven't eaten all day." Her mom said a little concerned. The last time she saw her eat was yesterday morning, and that was just a bunch of junk food.

"I know. I'll try to be back in time." She called as she closed the door behind her and headed for the downtown area.

Okay all I have to do is keep on the move until he's asleep. In his nice comfy bed. In his room that holds in all sounds. Hmmmm…no one would hear me if I was a little loud. She thought as she walked then shook her head hard trying to get rid of that thought. It doesn't matter; I don't have a reason to be loud in his bedroom. She wailed in her head.

When Serena got to the downtown area she went straight to the mall hoping that it would keep her thoughts in check by window shopping.

She stayed in the mall until closing time even though it didn't stop her thoughts. Then she left and headed for the park. I wonder if he's gone to bed yet. Maybe I could catch him before he goes to sleep. I do miss him. She thought with a sigh. I miss his hands on me, his arms wrapped around me, and I miss the feel of his lips. She thought as she neared the park.

Serena groaned at the remembrance of that moment. It made her want to go see Darien badly. I can't. I can't. She chanted as she walked the park paths.

She moaned as she stumbled to the nearest tree for support. She was glad that it was dark and no one was around. I need to do something. Something other than rushing to Darien's place or going home and going to sleep. She thought as she tried to control her breathing. I'll run; there's just nothing else I can do. She thought, and immediately took off.

She ran at top speed but that wasn't enough to stop the memories from flashing through her mind, so she went off the path and ran through the trees hoping that the concentration she would need to dodge trees in the dark would keep her thoughts PG rated.

Serena began to remember the feel of Endymion's lips on Serenity's neck, the feel of his hand griping her thigh, the feeling of him inside her. Ugh! She thought in frustration and jumped high into a tree and began to jump from tree to tree. This should be complicated enough to keep my thoughts from straying. She thought as she felt her hair fall away from where it was draped around her neck.

After a while she stopped and sat down on a thick branch and leaned against the tree and looked down at her hair blowing in the breeze.

"This is maddening!" She yelled into the night.

She was doing her best to avoid Darien and was doing a good job, but she wasn't sure how long she could avoid Endymion. She was beyond tired and sexually frustrated; running on sheer determination and will power. She was getting to the point where she was so exhausted and aroused by her own indecent thoughts that she wasn't so sure she wanted to avoid him anymore.

Oh god. What am I going to do? Running isn't even helping anymore, and I can't go to Darien. I'd jump him the moment I saw him, although that is starting to sound like a good idea. No! No! I need to do something more active, more energetic. She thought just as a scream echoed through the park.

Serena jumped down from the tree and ran until she found the source. It was a couple being attacked by a monster that looked like a tiger.

Perfect! She thought as she summoned her holy grail. She transformed in a brief moment of pink light with a mere thought. There was no shouting her transformation phrase and no swirl of feathers since she planned on surprising the monster.

Sailor Moon jumped from tree to tree until she was right behind the frightened couple. She didn't care how powerful it was, she was going to take her frustration out on this monster like her life depended on it. Even though it was more like her health; she didn't know what happened to people who were constantly aroused and couldn't do anything about, but it couldn't be good.

She jumped out of the tree, landing gracefully on her feet as the couple turned in surprise.

"Run for it!" She said to the couple then approached the monster. She could hear their hurried footsteps as the tiger monster growled in rage as its 'prey' got away.

"Hey are you going to attack or what? It's my fault they escaped, so what are you going to do about it?" She said tauntingly and it growled louder.

"I'm going to rip those wings off! I could use a bird for dinner." It grumbled loudly as an energy ball formed in its hand.

"I'd like to see you try." She said in frustration. She was tired of this monster talking instead of fighting.

The tiger started throwing energy ball after energy ball at her, and she dodged them with a speed and agility that she had never shown before. She moved left and right and ducked until she was close to the monster, and then she punched it in its furry face with her right fist and again with her left.

Then she kicked it in its stomach while dodging an energy ball, the dropped to the ground and swung her leg at its legs knocking it off its feet. She watched it hit the ground as she stood up, and then began to beat on it with an endless barrage of kicks and punches, after it stood up, until it fell to the ground again.

She then picked it up by its feet with a frustrated yell, swung it around and threw it into a tree with a strength she didn't know she had. After that she realized that it couldn't stand anymore, so she summoned her scepter and dusted it.

That felt so good, but it wasn't enough. She thought with a sigh as she de-transformed. As she stood there she rolled her neck feeling the tension; she didn't even care that her hair was lying on the ground in the dirt.

"So I've finally caught up to you." She heard a husky voice say quietly.

Darien! She thought as her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly turned around and faced him. She looked into his deep ocean blue eyes and felt like she was being hypnotized as her breathing picked up.

Serena slowly started to back way, unable to look away from his eyes. She hadn't even looked at what he was wearing; his eyes and the sound of his voice were enough to have her heart racing and her breathing ragged. But she stopped when he spoke.

"What was all that about, and why have you been avoiding me?" He asked in that same husky quiet voice as he looked into her eyes.
