Chapter Eight
Serena entered his room and gently sat down on the bed next to him. She picked up his hand and held it in her. "I'm so sorry.." She whispered as a tear fell down her cheek. "Please be okay...I love you so much..Darien..." She cried as she laid her head down on his chest.
"What happened Seth?" David asked sternly. Seth looked over at David from the window. "What?" "You were suppose to get her out of here." David growled. "I tried, but she refused and got away from me." He growled back. "Stop arguing.." Rei said annoyed. "Our Prince is in there fighting for his life and our Princess is falling apart before our eyes and all you two can do is agrue? Whats wrong with the two of you?" Rei shouted. Serena lifted her head up at the sound of Rei's voice. "Well if she had done just as we told her, we wouldn't be in this mess!" He shouted back at her. "What are you trying to say? That this is her fault?"Rei asked hatefully. "What if I am?" He asked calmly as he crossed his arms across his chest. Everyone stared at him in shock. "Are you serious?" Rei shouted with disbelief in her voice. "Why would you say that?" "Yes I am and because its the truth." David said calmly.
"Hes right..." A small voice said in a low voice. They all turned and looked at her in shock. "Oh Serena, no hes not." Mina said as she walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Yes it is...If only I had just listened and instead of being so stubborn, just maybe Darien wouldn't be unconcious fighting for his life..." She cried as she broke down in tears. "Serena..." Mina began but was interrupted by Serena. "Mina don't..." Serena pulled away from Mina and headed towards the door. "Serena where are you going?" Rei asked. "I need some air..." She said as she walked out of the temple.
When Serena was out of the room Rei turned and glared at David. "Look what you have done.." Rei growled as she left the room. Everyone glared over at David. "What?" He asked innocently. Serena stood out in the cool night air and stared up at the stars. All she could do is think about Darien and how she prayed she could tell him her decision. Rei walked into Darien's room and closed the door behind her. She leaned up agains the door and closed her eyes. Everything was a such a mess now. She opened her eyes and walked over to Darien. She sat down beside him and stared down at his face. "Darien you have to wake up soon...Serena needs you now more then ever." She whispered as a tear fell down her cheek.

"What happened, Silverress?" Prince Damien asked. "I don't know, your highness.." "You have failed me for the last time, Silverress." "Damien wait..With Tuxedo Mask out of the picture, now would be the time to capture Serenity." She said nervously. Damien stared down at her. After a moment he spoke. "Okay Silverress, bring her to me, now." He comanded. She bowed as she left.
Temple
Serena sat out under the cherry blossem tree. Her head was down one her knees as she hugged her legs, when Silverress appeared behind her. Seth stepped out of the Temple and happened to glance up at Serena. "Serena! Look Out!" Seth yelled. Serena looked up at him with a confused look her face. Before she could figure out what was going on, Silverress grabbed her from behind. "Ah!" She cried. As they disappeared. The girls came running out the temple. "What happened?" Lita asked. "Silverress..Took the princess." He said in a low voice. "What?" They asked shocked. "This is bad..." David said. Rei turned and looked at him. "This is your fault...If you had kept your mouth shut, she wouldn't have been alone." Rei yelled in anger as tears started to fall down her cheeks. "What's going on?" A weak voice asked from the temple doorway. Everyone turned and looked towards the door way and gasped.
"Darien..." Rei spoke up first as she moved closer to him. "Where's Serena?" He asked as he looked around weakly. "Darien, you shouldn't be out of bed, your still to weak." Rei said as she ignored his question. "Rei..." He began as he stared into her eyes. "Where is Serena?" "Darien...She's gone..." Mina answered as she lowered her head. He looked at them in shock. "What? How did this happen?" He asked in a low but angry tone as he started to feel dizzy. "We will get her back..." Rei spoke up.

"Good work Silverress...She will be under my complete control soon..." Prince Damien said as he stared at a small blonde laying in a bed asleep. "Thank you, Your Highness.." She said as she bowed and smiled. "What's next?" She asked. "Next we take out them pathetic Sailor Scouts and Moon Guardians..I can't risk them ruining everything I've worked for." He said without taking his eyes off Serena. "When?" "As soon as she wakes." "You think that's a good idea?" Silverress asked. "Yes, it'll be perfect. When they see her, they will be caught off guard and it will be the perfect time for you to strike." He said as an evil grin spread across his face.

Later that evening...
"Serena has been captured?" Luna asked shocked. Rei only nodded. "This could be bad...very bad..." Artemis spoke as fear began to run through out his body. "What do you mean?" Mina asked. "As soon as he turns Serena to the dark side the silver crystal will also be consumed with the dark power. Serena will be more powerful then any of them." He spoke as his voice shook with fear. Everyone sat there in silence for what seemed forever. After a few minutes Darien broke the silence. "Is there any chance of getting her back?" "I don't know." Artemis answered. Darien sighed as he put his head in his hands. 'There has to be a way...' He thought to himself.
