From Betrayal to Redemption Ch.8

"Serena, we have a big problem!" Jason ranted when he entered the house. "Why didn't you tell me about that damn psych-What the hell is he doing here?"

"Luna invited him here," Zach said.

Before Jason could say anything Luna advised, "Jason…do not say anything you're going to regret."

"I won't say anything Luna, but I'm going to surely do something," he said while walking over to Darien and punching him in the face.

"JASON!" Luna yelled.

"You stupid fuck!"

"What is wrong with you? Are you nuts?" Darien shouted as he blocked a punch. Jason charged at him and threw him on the floor while saying, "You had everything. EVERYTHING! Your home, your birthright, a girl who loved you more than life itself, a woman who would have died for you: hell has died for you! And you just threw it away," he screamed at him as he hit Darien again. "What more could any man have wanted? What was she not good enough for you? You had the future queen of this universe on your arm and just didn't want her, huh? You had your whole future set in front of you and you just didn't even care. Did you even think about what you were doing to her?" he questioned while hitting him again in the face and in the stomach.

"Jason man stop," Zach said and tried to pull him off of Darien.

"You don't deserve her! You don't even deserve to be in the same vicinity as her. She is so much better than you and deserves twice as much as whatever you could give her," he said as Zach pulled him away from Darien's fallen form.

"Hello to you too Jason," Darien muttered as he wiped blood from his mouth. "Glad to see you still have such caring feelings for me. But if I knew you had fallen for your princess I would have come sooner."

"What!" Serena shouted.

"You son of a bitch!" Jason gritted out and pulled against the restraint of Zach's arms.

"Jason stop!" Serena said and walked over to him. "Let him go Zachary."

"Serena I don't think that's a good idea. I've known him since we were kids and his temper is nothing to mess with."

"I've been with him for the past six years and have witnessed it before. Let him go."

Zach reluctantly let his friend go and watched how he went charging again for Darien. In the blink of an eye he stopped because something had come between the two tall men.

"Jason," Serena said.

"I don't want to hear it Sere," Jason retorted.

"Listen to me Jason. I know that you hate him because I hate him too. But you can't fight my battles for me anymore. Look at me Jason. I'm here now; I'm the person that I am now because of you and the others. You gave me that when he had taken it from me. Don't do this. It's a waste of energy that I sense you need to be saving."

Jason looked down at the woman who he had come to the man behind her. Although rage seemed to flow through him when he looked at Darien, Serena's presence offered a salve. Through clenched teeth he said, "I don't want him here."

"Neither do I, but Luna advises it. There are things that need to be discussed between us."

"Then send him home. He isn't one of us anymore."

"That may be true Jason, but he is here and he will be staying here until we have worked out this situation," Luna said.

"No situation involving us involves HIM. Serena doesn't want him here nor do any of the people in this house need him here."

"Yes we do," Serena whispered. "Zach and Luna discovered that all ten of us have to join forces together to defeat this enemy."

"The girls won't be happy about this one," a voice from the back door said.

"Glad you could join us Matthew," Zach replied. "Maybe you can help keep Jason here in line."

"Why-oh. I'm guessing Jason did that?" he asked Darien.

"You guessed right," Darien replied. "Good to see you again Malachite."

"Matthew, but sorry I can't say the same," he said and walked over to Luna perched on the couch. "Now would you mind explaining to me the meaning of this meeting? I was convening with a lovely Venus Princess when I was interrupted."

"We apologize for interrupting your love fest but there are more important things to be done. Like saving my home from this Black Moon Family," Darien said.

"Well that does it. It's your home so you can leave and take care of it," Jason replied.

"Jason, this planet is Serenity's as well. This universe is soon to be hers and we have to protect it as we protect her," Matt chided. "Even if that means helping those we wish not to."

"You really did a number on them huh?" Darien asked Serena.

"Excuse me?" Serena replied.

"Oh he better not be going where I think he is," Zach whispered.

"Without even seeing me again they are already against me. What the hell did you tell them before they got here? To not make friends with their prince or you'd make them regret it?"

"Darien I suggest you sit down and zip it before you say anything else," Luna advised.

"No, I really want to know. These men were my best friends and guardians since I was a child in the Silver Millennium and within the span of six years you've managed to turn them against me without a backwards glance."

"Very similar to how the girls and you turned against me," Serena countered.

"I never turned against you Serena and you know that," he said and walked over to her.

"You know why I did what I did. I know you still love me because I still love you."

"Again very similar to how I thought you still loved me when you dumped me. Once again I was wrong and so are you."

"You wouldn't have come back here if you didn't still care."

"True Darien. I do care. For my family and the people on this planet. They shouldn't have to suffer because their unknown prince is a complete imbecile. Now I want you to listen very carefully to me. What you and I had doesn't exist anymore and it hasn't for a long time. If you plan to remain in good form you will refrain from touching me or even bringing up the past. As for these four gentlemen, they made their own choices. Just as you and the girls made your choices six years ago and in the years that followed. You will respect their decisions and not harass them. Until the time comes that you receive all of your memories I strongly suggest you watch what comes out of your mouth and how you approach my guard."

"No Serena let him say whatever he likes. It'll give me a reason to hit him again," Jason said.

"You wanna hit me Jason? Go ahead hit me! Maybe if I kick your ass you'll shut up," Darien said. "You think that just because you're apart of her guard now that you're better than me? You forget that I am still the crowned Prince of this planet and I control it. This planet is my birthright and Gaia allows it-ugh!" Darien yelled and felled on the floor.

Standing above him was Nate looking furious at him. "Unlike Jason here I do not rush into a fight recklessly. I think out my opponent's weaknesses and strength before going into battle and I never strike an unarmed man. But with you your Highness I'll make an exception."

In the corner Darien could see Serena and Luna who had transformed into her human form holding back Matthew, Jason and Zach. All four men looked ready to kill him if he spoke another word but he had to know what he had said to set them off. Before he could say anything Jason yelled, "You dare to speak her name in our presence? You don't even have the decency to honor her name do you?"

"Jason he doesn't know. Please calm down," Luna pleaded.

"He should know! She gave him everything he wanted in life and all she asked was to remain in his thoughts for eternity," Zach shouted.

"If he's man enough to speak her name then he's man enough to deal with the consequences," Matthew sneered.

"This is not helping anything. I did not call you four here so you could fight each other. We have to talk this out calmly without you guys becoming hostile," Serena instructed. "Just give me an hour if even that to explain things."

"Thirty minutes," Zach replied.

"Twenty," Jason countered.

"Give her the span of time she request. However Serenity, I will not be responsible for what my men do. If he says ANYTHING out of line whether he knows or not, he will deal with what comes," Matthew said and leaned against the wall.

"Fair enough," she said and began to go through the events and plans with the aid of Luna.
