Previously on TWIST OF FATE:
"Dame it, nothing happened." Raye cursed under her breath.
"Maybe we're looking from the wrong spot." Mina suggested.
"Or maybe the wrong event, I mean, maybe, just maybe, that the Eclipse had nothing to do with all of this." Lita said.
"Jesus Christ, where in the world is Rini?" Serena was getting frustrated as she's sitting on her couch in her room with a cup of Latte in her hands.
"Serena calm down, maybe she's at Hotaru's place." Darien said. He walked from the window where he was standing and joined Serena by her side on the couch.
Serena shook her head, "I called, but her father said that neither Hotaru nor Rini is there. That reminds me; he told me that Hotaru hasn't come home for two days already."
"What? But… at the bridge, Amara said that she spoke with Hotaru and Trista" Darien said with a confused look.
"Well that's absurd, because, I called Trista's house too and it seems like she isn't home. And the funny thing is that they're not picking up their cellular either."
Weather reporter: The weather has currently dropped in the last 30 minutes by 60 degrees F; let's take a look at what's going on here. It seems like a thunder storm is coming on the way. Heavy rain is hitting the ground at this very moment and it is now 15 degrees F outside. Heavy winds are blowing towards the SW and a Fog is forming as well. I suggest locking your doors guys because it seems like we're heading towards a rough night.
Reporter: Wait, Dr. Tomoe, the scientists in your labs told us that the Eclipse was going to end in 30 minutes. It is now exactly 7:30pm, two hours from destination time. Is there something wrong going on? When do you expect the Eclipse to end at this rate? And what is causing this terrible change in the weather all of a sudden? Basically what thousands of people want to know is WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON?
Dr Tomoe Sighed: Alright, I'll tell you everything I know so far. Unfortunately as impossible as it sounds, the Eclipse was already over at around 5:30pm just as we predicted. The eclipse only stroke in Tokyo meaning there was still daylight in other countries around the Globe. But just recently we received news that the entire world is now filled with darkness. What is causing this massive amount of changes is still left unknown. The people in my labs are still trying to figure it out. My guess is that something is blocking the sun from hitting the earth and this time it isn't the moon. From the lack of sun light, less and less heat is received causing the temperature to drop dramatically. It will probably take days before we draw to a final conclusion. Our Hypothesis is that everything might remain the same for a couple of days until things slowly return to normal. Now if you will excuse me, I need to find my daughter. Good bye.
Darien stood up from the couch and walked to the phone. "What information do you have for us Amy?"
"Not much that you haven't heard. However I did ran a Scan Tran on our solar system, it seems Dr. Tomoe's theory is correct. A massive amount of energy is covering our entire planet cutting off any sources from the sun. What the Professor failed to say is that, at this rate….. We could all die Darien."
"It can take years as well, however, time isn't just the problem though, right now we have a small amount of sun energy left over from before, but if this continues too long, not only will we be short of oxygen, put we'll also freeze to death. The ocean currents and wind capacity isn't going to be traveling at a normal rate, there might be many disasters coming our way. A new ice age might form hitting the entire planet." Darien replied.
Where's Serena?
"I don't know, I think she said something about searching for someone. I couldn't really hear her. It was too windy and the rain was too heavy. Oh and she also forgot her phone" Emily held out her hand revealing Serena's pink Razor filled with Bunny designs all over. It was specially made just for her.
Dame it probably went of searching for Rini alone. I'm worried about Rini too, she should have just notified me, and I would have gone with her. He grabbed his coat from the closet and his keys to his Mercedes from the table next to the closet and headed towards the front door.
Sighh, Serena, what am I going to do with you? Darien thought.
Darien drove around the block, searching for sighs of his future wife and daughter. After receiving no results for half-n-hour, he decided to give up. Parking his car on the side, Darien laid back into his seat trying to think where they can be. Few minutes have passed and a thought crossed his mind. Of course!... The beach! Almost instantly he started his car back up and headed towards his destination.
Where can Rini be? It's already 10pm and it's pouring outside. Serena thought as she drove around Rini's school. Let's see, Rini's favorite places. Well, it used to be the park until she grew up. Dame, I knew I should have spent more time with her. It's not my fault though; Daddy gave me tons of work to do. Argggg. That's it, when I find her; I'm going to give her a piece of my mind.
Ten minutes later Serena found herself driving towards the beach she and Rini used to go. It wasn't exactly planned, but since she's there, might as well take a look. She parked her car in the lot, grabbed her umbrella and rushed out running towards the ocean.
Shit, what the hell is up with the weather? It's raining cats and dogs out here and its freezing. What is it, negative 50 degrees or something? That Impudent Brat, I'm going to find her just to make her suffer. Serena paused for a minute and looked around her. She has already reached the sand and is getting close to the water
Somehow I don't think Rini is here. I mean who would be at the beach during night time, that's just plain crazy, but then again, craziness do kind of run in our family. Why am I here? "Something doesn't feelri- Ahhhhhhhhhhh" Serena burst out.
A sudden stroke of wind has knocked Serena's Umbrella from her hands carrying it towards the Ocean.
Great, I'm in the middle of the beach at night soaking wet with sand all over my hair. Can this day get any worse? Serena bends down trying to take off her shoes.
"Oh… I didn't know I wasn't alone" a steep yet smooth voice spoke out.
Fear strived through Serena's spine as she shot her head up trying to see where the voice was coming from. She spotted something in the Ocean and decided to check it out. The wave was hitting her chest as she got closer but it didn't seem as if she minded. She was too distracted by an unknown image a couple of feet away from her. As she got closer to the image, she realized what it was.
"Wha… Who are you?" Serena started at the lady in front of her. Wow, she's beautiful, but she's… naked?
"Ooohh… You can see me" It sounded more as a statement then a question.
"Well its kind of hard to miss, you're right in front of me. Exactly what are you doing?"
"I'm taking a bath."
"In the middle of Night AND in the Ocean… Wow, that's something new"
"You're not afraid of me?" Interesting….
"Oh please, you're naked in the middle of the Ocean. It's not exactly a frightening image." Serena laughed.
"Ooohh…" The girl paused for a moment. "But it is…"
"Huh?" Sighs of danger was send through Serena's brain. Something was telling her to get out of there, but… she realized something fatal… She's couldn't move.
"What the hell… I can't move my-"
"Legs?"
Serena lifted her head and looked into the girl's eyes. "Who are you?"
"I'm…. you" The girl whispered. As soon as she's finished, she strived into Serena, releasing her energy as she captures her soul.
Pain shot through Serena's entire body as she felt something pushing against her skin. She wanted to scream, she wanted to move, but she couldn't. It wouldn't let her.
What is happening to me?
You're about to find out.
Blackness blocked her eyes as she lost balance and collapsed into the water backwards. A couple of seconds later she found herself drowning deeper and deeper into the bottom of the Ocean as if she's being dragged. Help me...
Strong arms wrapped around her waist as she felt herself being lifted towards the surface. That was the last thing she remembered.
"Do you think she's dead?"
"MINA" Raye smacked her head with her purse"
"OWW… what was that for? I was only being logical" Mina protested as she rubbed her head and glared at Raye with daggers in her eyes.
"You were being retarded you moronic Idiot!" Raye shouted. Serena flinched at Raye's scream.
"Hey look she's awake" Lita shrieked as she pointed towards the bed.
"Dame Raye, did you have to scream?" Serena lifted her hand and rubbed her eyes and forehead.
Mina was about to snap back at Raye but seeing that Serena has awaken she decided to let it go. "Hey honey, how're you holding up?"
"Pain…major pain… headache… arggg…. Mostly pain."
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING SERENA, YOU ALMOST GOT YOURSELF KILLED?" Raye shouted at the idiot in front of her.
"Ouch… Geez, can you be any louder? I'm right next to you, you know." Serena said as she rubbed her ears, her eyes were still closed.
"Serena… What were you doing sleeping on the sand in the middle of the rain? I figured you would look for Rini but I didn't expect you to fall asleep."
Serena opened her eyes to see Darien next to her beside her bed. "I was sleeping on the sand?"
Raye rolled her eyes, "How'd you think you land your ass in here. You caught a deep cold from the wetness plus it was freezing. Not a good combination if you ask me"
Serena glanced around her room. Wait, this isn't my room. Where am I?
Seeing Serena's confused expression, Amy decided to fill her in. "Darien found you almost dead lying on the sand, 20 feet from the water. It seems like you were unconscious. He brought you to the Hospital and called us.
"I'm in the Hospital? How long have I been unconscious?"
"Unconscious? More like a coma!" Mina stated as she lifted her eyebrow and folded her arms.
"Huh?"
"You've been unconscious for a week already. Today would be the seventh day." Darien reached out his hand and squeezed Serena's hand slightly.
"NANII A WEEK? WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP?
"Pshh.. we tried… Raye practically brought in a gong. But you didn't even stir." Mina claimed.
"Why were you there in the first place… and sleeping?" Lita asked
"Well, I was Searching for Rini and then… iunno… I mean… I remember my umbrella got blown away…. sand was filled up in my shoes so I decided to take it off… and…then…"
"And" A strong voice suddenly spoke out from behind.
Everyone tilted their heads to see Amara and Michelle by the door.
"And?" Amara asked again.
"And… I heard a strange voice coming from the ocean… when I looked up… a strange shadow lied deep into the water. I got curious so I decided to check it out… " Serena took a deep breath before she continued, "I remember the water hitting my chest as I got deeper and then…"
"And then what happen?" Michelle asked, urging Serena to continue.
"And then… that was it… that was all I remember."
"So the question is… how in the world did she get from being deep in the water to sleeping on the sand?" Lita asked.
"Maybe she fainted and then the waved washed her ashore." Raye guessed
"uhh umm" Darien shook his head, "Impossible, when I found her, she was pretty far away from the water. Even if the waves did carry her there. It wouldn't have been that far and plus… when I remember the sand around her wasn't as wet as the sand near the water and it was still soft. If the waves really did carry her, they would at least leave behind a hard wet trail."
"Darien's right" Amy said, "Its really is quite impossible"
"Then how do you explain her being there out of no where when she's supposed to be in water?" Raye asked.
"Someone probably saved her." Mina said as she shrugged shoulders.
"So you're saying that someone saved her from drowning but instead of calling the cops or bring her to safety, he or she let her rot in the rain on the sand at this kind of weather. What's the point of saving her then? She could have freeze to death." Raye said.
"Rayeeeee… I'm right here you know." Serena glared at her worst enemy.
"Just stating the facts Serena… just stating the facts" Raye threw one of her hands into the air in defeat.
"Enough, I've already spoken to the doctors, they've agreed to release you as soon as you've waken up. And since you've already did, we should get you home before your parents go crazy worrying about you." Amara said as she walked towards Serena.
"That's right, we didn't tell your parents that you're in the hospital. We were afraid that if too many people knew, the words would get out and soon we'll have reporters all over the building. People would want to know how the Tsukino Princess landed herself in the hospital." Michelle grinned.
"Then what did you tell them instead?" Serena asked with a questioning look.
"Well…" Michelle glanced down at the floor
"We told them… that… you ran away" Lita said nervously.
"NANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" Serena shot up from her bed.
"Actually, Raye was the one who said it" Lita sweat dropped as she pointed towards Raye.
Serena glanced at Raye giving her an evil eye.
"What? That was the only thing that came to my mind at that time…" Raye said innocently.
"Like that is sooo much better than the truth." Serena said with a bit of sarcasm in her tone.
"You mean, you rather people think of you as a lunatic who sleeps on a beach at night especially when it's raining cats and dogs?" Mina gave her an eye.
"No that's not what I me-"
"Serena, we should go. It's getting late." Darien cut in before the girls' starts one of their amusing cat fights again.
Sighing in defeat she got up slowly and stretched. "Do you guys have any clothes for me to change into?" She asked.
"Yeah here, Amy got it from your brother, unfortunately, it was the ugliest thing he could find" Mina chuckled.
I'm going to kill him, really, I am, that ungrateful son of a bitch. Oh shit... Did I just dis my own mom? Oopss... My bad... "EWWW where they hell did he get these clothes anyway" Serena asked with her eyebrows twitched.
"Told yah" Mina grinned.
Later on in Amara and Michelle's living room…
"What do you think happened to her?"
"I don't know"
"Who helped her?"
"I don't know"
"And that voice she claimed she heard… who do you think it was?"
"I don't know"
"Do you think it's somehow related to Raye's premonition?"
"I don't know"
"Do you know anything?"
Amara looked at Michelle and smiled, "Nope"
"lala lalaaa ala ddada lalalaa laa lddaaa lalaladada" Serena was singing as she rinsed her hair in the tub. After coming out from a hot shower, she felt her muscles relaxed and was dieing for her bed.
"Oh.. Wait.. gotta brush my teeth… can't forget that now can I"
A few moments have passed and we see Serena with one hand holding a bunny looking toothbrush, brushing her teeth with white foam around her lips. She left the water running as she looked down into the sink while washing her other hand.
"Well hello darling"
Serena was stopped in her tracks immediately when she heard the sudden voice coming from the front. She slightly looks up to come face to face with the mirror but instead of seeing her reflection, she saw someone else.
"woo wha, wh re doi who ar u" Serena managed to get a few words, but it was difficult seeing she still has white forms around her tongue and a toothbrush in her mouth.
The person in the mirror raised an eyebrow as she stared at Serena. "Come again?"
Serena took the toothbrush out of her mouth and spit out the foam. She then rinsed her mouth and about a couple of seconds later, she found her self face to face with the girl inside the mirror again.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my mirror?" Serena shouted leaned forward while putting her hands on the side of the sink.
"Ahh…for a minute there, I thought we spoke in different languages. Well honey, I'm in desperate need and you shall become my reflection.
"Huh?" Serena asked with a confused look in her eyes.
"Ahh… straight forward huh… I like going right to the point too… ok... I'll be simple with you too… you see… I'm going to take over you're body and become…..YOU." She said with a huge smile on her face.
Sorry for taking so long to update… hehe… was kind of busy these days… well anyway… I know this chapter isn't exactly all that… but I promise you… next chapter will be better! Stay tuned…
