Annime: Hello!

Serena: Annime doesn't own SM or anything belonging to someone else.

Chapter 6

Serena was now finished with her, dinner, project, and her shower as she stepped into her room. Luna was resting on her bed, obviously waiting for the young and troubled girl.

"Hello, Serena," Luna greeted her.

Serena smiled back. "Hello, Luna."

Luna straightened herself up and watched as the girl took a book from her book bag and was about to begin her afternoon reading.

"Serena," Luna began. "Why did you take that area of the city willingly?"

Serena looked up at Luna. "It was the only one left. What else am I supposed to do?"

"Serena, some of them were going to offer to trade with you."

Serena shook her head at this. "No, Luna, I do not want to be babied."

Luna sighed with annoyance. "Serena, I know this very well, but you barely want to walk past the place where you were raped, much less go there and make sure nothing bad is happening."

Serena sat on her bed. After placing the book on her lap, she proceeded to massaging her temples to try and calm down her new headache.

"I know this, Luna," Serena replied quietly. "But I can't live my life in fear any longer. I need to get over this so I can move on."

"And when are you going to let the scouts back into your heart?" Luna asked. "Oh, and don't forget about Darien."

Serena looked at the ground in silence for a long moment.

"It's for the best," Serena whispered.

"Is it for you or for them?" Luna snapped.

Serena looked up at Luna in surprise. Luna hadn't snapped at her since before the incident happened.

"What do you mean?" Serena asked.

Luna glared at her. "It's time you stopped feeling sorry for yourself. You are tarring them apart. Darien cries at night not able to fall asleep. The girls have trouble concentrating on school work; even Ami has admitted to not being able to focus on her studies."

Serena looked at the ground. Luna sighed again and quietly crawled over to Serena.

"Serena, I know I'm sounding harsh, but you're not doing any good from all of this ether."

"Luna," Serena spoke in a whisper. "They deserve more than a slut for a friend. Darien deserves to have a girl who can give him more than can now."

Luna shook her head.

"Serena, you are NOT a slut and you DO have your virginity! Rape doesn't change that! It's if you're doing it with your free will, then it's different."

Serena looked at Luna.

"Luna, I know I seem like a whiner, but I don't FEEL those things are true. I feel dirty ALL the time. I feel like I'm worthless ALL the time. Luna…I'm sorry."

Luna rested her paw on Serena's hand.

"Why don't you get some extra sleep, Serena?" Luna suggested. "It's been a long day and you'll need your energy for tomorrow."

Serena nodded and placed the book she had been planning to read on her night stand. She curled up in the blankets and the quilt of her bed and closed her eyes. She was more relaxed when sleep finally sucked her in.

A ship of earth, almost like a planet, moved across the galaxy. A woman, no taller than six feet, sat on her throne as she waited for her arrival on Earth.

"Queen Crystal," a girl with long, wavy, and dark brown hair spoke after appearing out of nowhere. "We are close to planet Earth."

"Thank you, Beta," Queen Crystal said.

"Mam, I hope it is not rude of me to ask, but is it really necessary to go to this planet named Earth?"

Queen Crystal nodded at Beta. "Yes, and when we are there we must capture their spirits."

Beta raised an eyebrow as her light blue eyes shined with curiosity.

"Mam, you mean we are not collecting energy like your cousin?"

Queen Crystal scowled, her light blond hair started to float a little ways into the air and her copper eyes glowed with anger. Her eyes and her hair texture were the only things that both her and her cousin.

"Queen Beryl didn't know what she was doing," Queen Crystal snapped. "Now go get everything ready for our landing."

Beta nodded and disappeared from sight.

"I will not be second best to my cousin anymore!" Queen Crystal shouted.

Serena winced in her sleep. She could sense trouble coming, and Luna could as well.

Queen Crystal played with the little ball on her rod.

"I will capture their spirits," she said to herself. "They will be empty shells. The spirits will fuel my army and then it will be the easiest planet to take over!"

Serena woke up panting. Her nightmare wasn't like any of her others that had haunted her for the past weeks.

It started off like the others though. She was walking down the street with Moly, when suddenly she was grabbed by her sleeve. She struggled as she was dragged with Moly into the ally way and was shocked at what came next…

Serena shook her head, not wanting to think about it again.

But the last part was a different story. She saw a woman sitting on a thrown. She looked just like Queen Beryl had, except she had light blonde hair; it was much lighter than both Mina and Serena's. She had henchman just like Queen Beryl had. Could they somehow be…related…or at least a slight bit connected?

Serena sighed. She couldn't make a judgment like this on just a dream alone.

She turned towards Luna as she heard the female feline awake with a start.

"Are you ok, Luna?" Serena asked as she pulled the startled cat onto her lap.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine," Luna answered. She looked up into Serena's blue eyes. "Why are you not a sleep?"

"Same reason as you: a nightmare."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"I think troubles coming fast, but that's all I'm going to say. How was your nightmare?"

"It was a nightmare, so it was unpleasant. And, I must agree there is trouble coming, but you must get some rest."

"But Luna—,"

"No buts. A girl your needs a good night's sleep."

Serena sighed, but nodded before laying back down for bed.

Annime: What's gonna happen next?
