Chapter 2
Darien carried her quickly inside. He was surprised at how light she was and didn't have any problems holding her in one arm while he unlocked his door.
He went straight into the bathroom and started filling the tub with lukewarm water. While the water-level slowly rose, he grabbed a towel and dried her off as much as he could.
It was only then that he noticed the gash on her knee.
His heart ached for the normally cheery girl in his arms. It seemed almost like one of life's cruel jokes to make someone like her suffer and Darien knew what happened to people when life constantly played those cruel jokes on them.
They become like him.
But despite how much he teased her, he knew Serena was strong. No matter how many horrible things happened to her, Serena would only remember the good things in life. That was just who she was.
Of course, then again, she probably hasn't gone through anything like he has.
Something in his heart told him, though, that even if she experienced the suffering he had, she would have still found a way to be happy. In that, he both hated and envied her.
He barely remembered what happiness was like.
He sighed and placed a towel over her bleeding knee. Noticing the tub was half-full, he turned the water off and slowly lowered her in, keeping her knee above the water.

She hadn't been able to feel the cold anymore. Of course, then again, she wasn't able to feel much of anything.
Except for the safe warmth she felt against her side.
But soon, that safe warmth was gone.
And then it felt like she was on fire, as if millions of tiny people were spread across her body and holding torches to her skin.
Her eyes snapped open and she screamed.
She struggled to comprehend what was going on as she fought against something holding her down.
"Calm down, Meatball Head."
'Meatball Head'? She looked down to see she was in a tub of water and was being held in place by a strong arm. Her eyes trailed up that arm and into the eyes of her sworn enemy.
Let me know what you think so far!
I know these are short, but… that's the whole point.
