Rei woke up with a start.

"That has to have been a nightmare." She said uneasily as a cold sweat dripped down her face. She felt uneasy because she had only had a nightmare as bad as this one and it almost came true. Rei decided to sneak into the hospital and check on Usagi. As Rei was putting on her shoes she thought about what if it had happened? She didn't want to be alone if that was the case so she called Haruka if anyone was as worried as she was it would be Haruka.

"Hello?" Haruka spoke as though she hadn't been asleep.

"Haruka…. It's Rei."

"Rei? Why are you calling in the middle of the night?" Rei then explained her nightmare to Haruka.

"And if that's true I don't want to go alone."

" Wow. Ok give me 10 minutes and then I'll meet you at the hospital." Haruka hung up and went to go take a quick shower. It was about 2 am by the time Haruka got there Rei had been sitting on a bench a few yards away from the front door looking more worried then the last time Haruka had seen her.

"She's fine Rei how could anyone have gotten into her room unseen?"

"You're right." Rei sighed with a hint of relief in her voice

"She's probably still asleep."

"Yeah so let's get in here and go see for ourselves yeah?" Haruka asked encouragingly.

Meanwhile

Minako had just gotten home at about midnight and hopped into the bath to try to calm down. She was still in shock and didn't even notice that the water was ice cold as she slipped into the bath her mind preoccupied worrying about Usagi.

" I should have been able to do something for her." Minako said thinking back to after the attack.

"She was lying there bleeding and….. and I didn't do anything to help her." Minako slowly slid down under the water until her whole face was covered.

"She's my dearest friend and I couldn't do anything. What kind of friend am I?"

Minako then burst above the water gasping for air. She decided she needed to stop thinking about it so she finished up her bath and got changed into her pajamas. It was a thigh length nightgown it was a pale pink color lined with hints of gold.

"Usagi got me this for my birthday." She said softly as she sniffed the nightgown.

"Please be ok Usagi." Minako whispered as she turned off the lights and got into bed.

Artemis was over at Usagi's comforting Luna so Minako was alone tonight. Right as Minako was on the verge of sleep the figure slipped into her room un-noticed. It opened its mouth as to speak but then quickly shut it and glided over to Minako's nightstand. It stood there looking at the paper and pen she had next to her bed then slowly and carefully picked up the pen and started writing. At about 2 am the figured slowly put the pen down as to not disturb the sleeping Minako looked over what it had written and nodded, it then put the paper back on the night stand the slid out the way it had come.

Back at the hospital Rei and Haruka had managed to get all the way to Usagi's room un-seen in about half an hour.

"Do you want to go in first or at the same time?" Haruka whispered looking behind her shoulder.

"Let's both go in I don't want to go in alone." Rei answered in a similar whisper.

" I have a bad feeling about this." Rei added as she put her hand on the door.

" On the count of three."

"One…..Two…Three!" Haruka and Rei burst through the door and almost screamed at what they saw. Rei couldn't handle the scene that was playing out before her and turned to the trashcan and vomited. Haruka ran out and down the hall to find someone that could help leaving Rei alone in the room stunned it was worse then what Rei had seen. Usagi was lying in her bed her bed was stained the sickening color of her crimson blood it still dripped from her left hand that was dangling off the side of the bed. Her bandaged arms were once again bleeding not nearly as bad as before but enough that the bandages had been soaked. Her arms and legs had been bound to the bed by what looked like pieces of her own blanket and a gag had been placed on her mouth. Her legs had been cut and slashed at too many times to count they were covered in so much blood it was hard to tell if they were still even intact. Usagi's hair had been cut with what looks to have been the weapon used to attack her because at the ends of her hair was blood her hair was taken out of its buns and then cut to mid back length. Strands of her hair were thrown about the room, as Rei looked closer at Usagi herself she was much paler then before and her head was forced to be looking at the door. Rei slowly approached the bed walking through the pool of blood over to Usagi.

"Usagi…. Oh my g-" that was all Rei could choke out before she burst into tears barely able to keep her balance. Usagi then very slowly said 2 words awake or not she was still breathing.

"D...Don't….cry."

"Usagi-baka." Rei choked as she tried to stop crying, Haruka then rushed into the room with doctors following close behind and grabbed Rei by the shoulders pulling her aside to give the doctors space. They were all rushing about trying to help her while Haruka and Rei were forced into the hall.

"Rei?" Haruka said close to tears.

"She said don't cry. Usagi-baka. Even in her state she can't help but worry about others." Rei said fresh tears streaming down her face. Haruka opened her mouth to say something but only quite sobs came out. Rei leaned over and hugged Haruka tight with worry while they both cried over their friend.

Over at the enemy base

"Have you done it?" A voice in the darkness asked

"Yes my queen soon you shall be freed from the chains that have held you down for so long." The figure bowed

"Step into the light I want to see the vial." The voice commanded. The figure then stepped into the light and dropped the blood soaked knife and pulled the vial from it's almost black cloak and tipped it over.

"Empty." He said shaking the vial. He then walked into the darkness his silver hair falling down to his shoulders as his black cloak trailed behind him.

"Good." The voice whispered fading into echoes.
