Chapter 8

"How could he do this to me?" Serena growled, "Who does he think he is?" Serena screamed, pummeling her fists on the nearest tree. Alan walked around to the other side to look at her straight in the face.

"Serena, jus ignore him." Alan said simply, smiling down at her, which was an attempt to calm her down.

She hit the tree again and walked away, opposite from him, "How can I ignore him, there is so much between us, so much history, so much knowledge. How can I forget all that we shared?" Serena said and sat on the nearest bench, leaning forwards, putting her elbows on her knees and burying her head in her hands.

"There can't be that much between you." Alan said, sitting next to her. Serena stood up, and faced him, annoyed features.

"You know nothing about Darien and I, you would never understand!" She shouted at him, tears running down his cheek.

"Try me." Alan said, so calm and collected it sickened Serena, she wanted to argue she needed to let some of her frustration out, but she didn't know how.

"Oh Fuck off!" Serena said, Alan astonished, he would never expect that kind of thing from Serena. He watched her as she slowly descended into the trees, her long blonde hair flowing behind her.

Serena ran through the trees, pushing branch upon branch aside as she made her way to the other end of the city. No one could understand what was happening to her. She was once Darien's girlfriend, she was destined for him and loved him more than anything else. But not everything can be, not everything can work out the way people want, not everyone can be happy.

She had only gotten a few hundred yards before she heard a voice.

"Serenity do you really think this is helping anyone?" Serena stopped and looked around, but she could not see anyone.

"Who are you? What do you want?" She shouted, constantly turning to see if she could find anyone. She heard ruffling in the trees on one side of her and then on the other. Serena moved to the left, watching her front and back as she went. The voice didn't sound sinister, it sounded more familiar. It took her a while to think who it could be, "Mother?" She asked, stopping and looking straight on.

"My beautiful girl, you never learn." She heard again and a bright light appeared before her. Serena, dazzled by the light fell backwards, landing hard on a tree and hitting her arm.

"Ouch!" She shouted, cradling her arm.

"You never change do you, old, young, big, small, you will always be my little girl! But Serena, seriously, what is happening here on Earth?" Queen Serenity asked, they had not seen each other for quite some time and by giving up the Imperium silver Crystal meant that the queen could no longer see the future or have any knowledge of much here on Earth.

"Mother, I love seeing you, but I do not feel like talking at the moment! Please, just leave me alone…please?" Serena asked, looking away from her mother and walking in that direction. Queen Serenity nodded, her daughter knew what was at stake, her daughter was the princess of the moon, and therefore she would do what was right for the kingdom.

"Find your way my daughter." Queen Serenity vanished, all that remained was a patch of flowers from where she stood.

Serena walked on in the woods, not sure if it was the right way, of if she was going back the way she had come. For all she knew she could be heading for a cliff, or the very person she didn't want to see: Darien.

Darien lay, alone, lost and unloved on the floor, his heart beating slowly and his throat sore from all the sobbing. Night had fallen and he was alone in the park, he hadn't moved, or even thought about moving since the incident that morning. Nothing could hurt him now, nothing could compare to the pain he now suffered. He looked up at the stars, wondering where about he would go when he died. Would he go near a planet, or would he just turn into dust and never be seen again?

"Mom?" Came a small voice near by. Darien looked up and noticed a little boy walking towards him; he had short black hair and gorgeous blue eyes. The small boy looked lost and so sad, Darien moved to a sitting position, watching, as the little boy got closer. Darien had always loved kids and he was always good with them and took time out to look after them, but he didn't have the energy, physical or mental.

"Hey son, are you okay?" Darien asked, moving to his knees and mentioning to the little boy to come closer. It was weird the way the boy moved, he walked as though he had a stick up his bum, and his eyes seemed cross eyed. There was something wrong with this and Darien knew it. This boy wouldn't be out at this time of night, it was nearly midnight, and if he were he would have looked more human. It was also weird that he seemed to be in the park, the same place as Darien.

"Who are you?" Darien asked, getting to his feet, standing ready for fighting.

"Ah, your no fun Endymion, you figured it out too quickly. Remember me?"
