Changing Destiny

Chapter 9
December, 20003
Serena groaned as she got up from the bed she lay on. Looking around she cried out in fright. It was as if the world had plunged into hell. There was a heavy decaying smell all around and it was suffocatingly hot in there.
"Hello?" She called out. All she got was an echo. It was dark in there but not so dark that she couldn't see. She got up and fell back down. She was wearing a gown! A shimmering gown that reflected whatever light there was all around. It was low cut and full length skirt. There were no sleeves. Her hair was down. She stared at her body in horror. She was wearing jeans and a t-shirt so that meant someone had touched her, undressed her, and dressed her in this. She began freaking as she looked around faster. Someone must be here. She didn't get here and change herself all while she was fainted. "ANYONE THERE?" She yelled out getting more and more scared by the minute.
"Calm yourself Serenity" Came a deep male voice from above her. Serena stumbled backwards falling hard on her bottom. "Be careful. You may hurt yourself darling" the same voice said.
"Wh-who the hell are you?" She asked from the floor. Suddenly a light came on and a man stepped forward. Serena gasped as she stared at the familiar face. Flashbacks hit her hard as she stared at the face of a killer.
"You know.you look quite beautiful in that gown.it matches your beautiful blue eyes." He said smiling at her slyly. Serena didn't hear because of the flashbacks that were hitting her brain.
*** There lay Endy in a puddle of blood in the gardens. Hovering over him was a man with deep brown hair. His eyes lit up at the sight of her. "As My love! You finally came"***
***. The man stared at her a moment
"I will have to kill lover boy first I see." And he threw a blade at Endy's heart. But it was intercepted by Travis. Serena screamed as it impaled her brother...and everything went black. ***
Serena stared in horror. "Y-You're that man.from my dreams." She said trying not to scream. "Who are you?"
"You do not remember me Serenity?" he asked with a slight frown.
"You killed the other man.w-wait a minute.what the hell did you call me?" She asked as her brain caught up with what he said.
"I said your name Serenity" He said.
"Serenity? That's not my name" Serena said puzzled. "Who the hell is Serenity?" She demanded.
"Serenity was.is the princess of the moon kingdom and my property! She is MINE! YOU ARE MINE!" He hissed staring hard at her "And if Endymion shows up in this time I will destroy him again!" he laughed.
"You are totally insane. I'm not the moon princess.I'm just a normal high school girl!" She said moving away from the advancing man. "Who the hell are you?" She demanded again.
"You do not remember me?" He groaned as he searched her face "Then I cannot tell you. You must remember me yourself.But know this much Serenity.You will be mine. That I promise you. Just a little reminder.tell your friends that they cannot beat me. They will only get killed. You stay with them and I will kill them. I will allow no one to be near you if I cannot. You are mine. Keep this in mind.this was only a reminder and soon enough I will come for you.my love" He whispered the last part his lips descended on hers. Serena ripped herself free from him before their lips met. "NO!" She cried. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She cried. The man sighed.
"Fine.But remember this much. Until you are mine.everyone who lives with you and cares for you will die.I promise you this" And everything went black. (AN: All right. This is kinda confusing even for me. So I'm going to explain it. This man.Chant is actually saying that if she stays with all those people that care for her.that can PROTECT her. Like her parents, the Outer Scouts, her brothers, and even the inners, even if they were not friends with her at the moment. He would kill them all to make sure that no one would stand in his way when he went to get her. Now do you get it? If not then I am truly sorry but I'm lost to by now.hehe sorry!)
"So Seiya is actually Plutonian. And your ex-husband?" Haruka asked astonished.
"Not Ex. I never divorced him.by the celestial law I am still his wife. As he is my husband. This was the first time in many years that I have seen him. I know he is here for my daughter's life though. Seiya never took the hard way out. Why do it yourself when you can get someone else to do it for you? He is going to use Serena to find my daughter." Setsuna said softly not meeting anyone's eyes. "If I had known what kind of man Seiya was really I would never had gone with him. But I did and I do not have a choice now but to save my daughter."
"I think we should tell Serena" Concluded Travis as he stood up.
"No.She will not believe us. She has known Seiya since she was just a child. She will not be willing to believe anything bad about him.even if it is coming from us. We must not let her know." Setsuna said with panic in her eyes.
"This isn't right. She is the princess.We have kept so much from her already.it isn't right to keep this from her also" Haruka said shaking her head. "She is more able than we think.if we keep anything else from her, she will never trust us again."
"I agree with Haruka" Hotaru said softly. She waved her hand over the ball on the table and instantly a picture of Serena came into view. "This is Serena now. She is strong, her brain works a mile a minute, and she is smarter than you or I have given her credit for. She is very clever. She can handle the truth." She waved her hand over the ball and a picture of Serena tripping over a crack in the sidewalk showed up. "And this is Serena before. She couldn't even stand on her own two feet without falling, she was klutzy, a cry-baby, and irresponsible. She has grown up quite a bit since the girls have let her go.more than you know. But I will not interfere. You all shall chose. I am Serena's right hand woman.but her safety comes first.you decide and I will agree"
"I vote we tell her!" Haruka shouted
"YEAH I WON'T SEE MY SISTER HURT!" Shouted Travis. "NO! Secrets from her are kept from her for her own protection.they are for her safety. We just need to find a way to keep her away from Seiya!" Setsuna said with an angry glare at Haruka. Michiru until this time was just staring at them all. "ENOUGH!" She shouted slamming her hands on the table. Everyone looked at her in surprise. "Enough is enough. Serena will not be told anything.we vowed to protect her and if the only way is to keep secrets from her then so be it!" She growled glaring at her lover. Haruka began bubbling.
"MICHIRU! This is my cousin we are talking about! She deserves to know! She could be in grave danger without knowing all of this!" She shouted as she waved her fist in Michiru's face.
"Don't you dare wave your fist in my face Tenou Haruka!" Michiru said in a deadly voice.
"Please." Hotaru said softly but she was ignored.
"I will keep no more secrets from my sister!" Shouted Travis, his rage building.
"SHUT UP!" Shouted Hotaru. "YOU ALL ARE ACTING LIKE CHILDREN! I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS YOU ALL HEAR!" She screamed. "IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE THIS SITUATION AS ADULTS, THEN MABEY YOU SHOULD'NT BE TAKING CARE OF THE PRINCESS!" And with one final withering glare she stormed out of the kitchen. The rest of the occupants quieted down as they starred at their faces with shame faces. But that did not last long for Haruka, with one last glare at Michiru, stormed out of the house. Michiru sighed; her face strained, as she slowly retreated to her room.
"What is wrong with us?" Travis asked softly as he stared at his hands still sitting at the table. Setsuna looked on with worry. "Serena cannot know about Seiya.if she is told she will not believe us and will leave us also. We cannot let that happen." She said softly. Travis stared at her.
"All right." He sighed. "I will not tell her. But if this affects her in any way then I'm telling her." Travis left the room quietly. Setsuna stared at Serena in the bubble and sighed. "Seiya.I'm going to kill you!" She hissed.
"You let her go my lord?" Saamp said softly. Chant stared at her with red eyes.
"Yes. I may not have been part of the silver alliance but the silver crystal still has power over Serenity. And unless she remembers me I will not be able to keep her. My powers are too weak at the moment. But its only in time.she will remember me and then nothing will be able to keep me from her!" He said smiling an evil smile.
"Why do you want her so much?" Demanded Saamp.
"Serenity was one of the most beautiful women in the silver millennium.and she still is. And her powers are not an offset either. She is the one woman in the world who can destroy the world and save it. I will have her no matter what!" he hissed out.
"My lord-" Saamp began.
"Enough Saamp! If my plan works she will leave the sailor guardians, thus making it easier for me to take her forever. Without the scouts she is mine!" he said laughing. Saamp stared sadly at Chant before nodding and leaving the room. (All right the explanation for this one is that Chant is not as powerful as the crystal and Serena. And while she does not remember him he has no power over her because he cannot manipulate her memories of him and such. (He cannot fool with her memories right now because the crystal has blocked everything about him out. So he cannot really change her memories because there isn't any of him to change yet. If you don't get it.just remember that it's magic.and magic is a strange and powerful thing so just go with it.)
Serena groaned as she tripped on the carpet near her room. She was in the process of sneaking into her room. The brown haired man's words kept paying in her mind. She loved all her friends.her parents and her brothers. She would sooner die than have any harm come to them. She would leave them.there was no way in hell she would let any harm come to them. She waited until nightfall before packing all her things and sneaking out the room. Leaving the house she used a trick Saturn had taught her. Closing her eyes she concentrated. And boom. She disappeared from her home to the front of the airport. But before she went she made sure that she used a trick Haruka had secretly taught her, hiding her scent from breathing beings. She knew without a doubt that the scouts would not be able to find her until she was ready. She sighed as she got a ticket and boarded the flight. She was on her way to her new life.
"SETSUNA!" Came the cry early the next morning. The urgency and anger in the voice had everyone running into Serena's room. There stood Travis with a letter in hand and Flames dancing in his eyes. "This is ALL YOUR DAMN fault" he hissed as he threw the paper in the green haired woman's direction. It fluttered to the ground. Setsuna looked at the paper on the ground for a moment. When she made no move to pick it up, Haruka walked over to it and picked it up. Clearing her throat she began to read it out loud.
"When you all get this I will be far away. I know there are many secrets you all are keeping from me and wish you hadn't but what is done is done. I want to first thank you all for what you have done for me.thank you. I am leaving you all because I am forced although I cannot tell you what I mean by that. Don't bother trying to track me down because I have hidden my trail. I am sorry that I cannot help you guys in finding the princess but I have to go. One day you all will understand. Travis.Take care of Mom, Dad and Sammy for me K? You know what I mean. Haruka.I'm sorry cousin. But I promise you I will come back. Take care of Michiru. Michiru thank you for all you have done for me. I am so glad you and my cousin are together. Hotaru. Please be careful. You're the most fragile of us all and I would feel awful if something happened to you. Take care of your health girl. Setsuna.What can I say about you. You scared my childhood friends away. You erased the memories of my family. But you also came to help me become a better scout. I thank you. Do not bother trying to look through time because until I am ready I will not return. Oh and Travis.Tell Luna and Artimist I am sorry. Guys. I know there have been hardly any attacks lately. And yes I do know now who is behind them but I am sorry I cannot tell you. Take care of the inners in my place. Tell Lita I will miss her and to take care. Setsuna.Destiny is not set in stone.Do not try to control someone else's destiny.It will only end in ruin..I hope you all can forgive me.." Haruka paused and looked up "Love Serena Usagi Tsukino Ashfel." She finished glaring at Setsuna. But before she could say another word Travis got up and walked over to her.
"YOU DID THIS! My sister left because of all the secrets you made us keep from her! Until she comes home I will not step foot in this home again!" He growled as he stormed out of the room and into his own. The sound of drawers being emptied could be heard.
"He's right you know" Haruka said softly. Her anger deflated. "Though you did it because you thought you were doing right you should have left it well alone.as Serena said you shouldn't try to control others destiny. Nothing good can come out of it.I will stay here with you all in hopes that my cousin comes back." And with that she left the room. Michiru opened her mouth then closed it and with a sigh followed Haruka back to their room to reconcile.
"I told you not to meddle. We must find a way to fix this" Hotaru said softly.
"I was only trying to protect her" Whispered Setsuna as she fell to her knees. "I would give my life for my princess.I would." And she gave into her sobs. Hotaru sighed as she placed a comforting arm around the older woman.
Travis, after he finished packing, left the house after a quick goodbye to his cousin and went to the Tsukino household. When he told them what had happened they had to restrain Ken from going over there and killing Setsuna (Although he probably wouldn't have succeeded) After much discussion it was agreed upon that as their daughters brother and their second son Travis would live with them until Serena was found.
Then end of chapter 10
So how did you guys like it. Is it just me or do I keep on putting in many twists in every chapter? First it was Seiya and Setsuna's dislike towards each other. Serena's parents not remembering. Her brother mysteriously appearing. The girls turning on Serena. Setsuna and Seiya's son and daughter.I think I should slow down.what do you guys think? Oh and another thing.I do not have anything against Setsuna.In fact I relly like her. Don't worry her character gets better later on (I hope!) Read and review pls! And thank you all for reviewing.
