The Tears of the Forgotten

Chapter 10: Seeds of Corruption

~+!Serena's Pov!+~

I stared at Wiseman and Barle. They glared at me with crooked smirks as they inched towards me slowly.

"Well Bunny, your cornered. Give us the Silver Imperuim Crystal. And we'll make sure not to kill you.

I watched as Barle grinned. I blinked not knowing what to say or do.

"Why are you even alive? I thought you were dead."

I bluntly stated as I slowly backed away. But every step I took away was another three steps my nemesis took too. Wiseman smiled as his hand stretched towards me.

"You."

He simply said. I tried to wrap my head around what he had just told me but it just wouldn't click. Why would I bring my enemies back to life? I didn't know what Wiseman was saying.

"What do you mean?"

I wondered but suddenly my head began to pound. I tried to think but the pounding just got louder. There was no pain but it felt like as if there was pressure building up in my head and wanted to come out. I stumbled over to the wall to keep from falling. Serenity! Let me take control. It is not your time to understand what is happening right now! I 'll take Kain's body and leave the negaverse but you have to let me take control! Risa screamed inside my head. Then as if the pressure had been released. I fell backwards and I was in darkness. I blinked and tried comprehending what was happening. But everything was just too confusing. I kept turning around but I faced nothing but darkness but when I blinked once more I was in my body.

"Bye now!"

I winked and I picked Kain up. But I did everything uncontrollably. I, myself, wasn't moving my body but some one else was moving my body for me.

"Why can't I control my body?"

I cursed as I watched myself open a portal and walked into it.

Eh? Your still awake? My strength must be fading. But hey if I do anything you don't like you can tell me.

Risa explained to me. But I was still hopelessly lost. I watched myself walk out of the portal and outside of Raye's home. I lied Kain's stiff body in the bushes out of view. Then I turned towards the door.

"Why are we here? She can't help us!"

I whined but my body went forward towards the door. Shut up! She's going to help me get out of this body of yours. So I can give dad a piece of my mind. I mean come on did he have to stick me in your body where you contain light? Its like a living hell to me in your body Serena! Risa yelled at me mentally. I groaned but my body knocked on the door anyway.

"Thanks a lot. Now I'm gonna get an earful."

I moaned as I watched Raye answer the door and stared at me with relief. She invited me kindly which she never does. But as I walked past her I noticed a vain popping out of her fist as she made a tight smile.

"Great. We're in trouble."

I told Risa as she led my body into Raye's room and sat down. But as I sat down I realized I had complete control with my body.

"Yes!"

I squealed happily and stood up. Serena get your butt back on the floor. Do you want me to hurt one of your friends or not? If you don't get me out I am likely to kill anyone I meet if they piss me off which is real easy. Risa barked at me. I obeyed reluctantly because she threaten to hurt my friends. As I sat back down Raye entered the room and closed the door behind her. She looked at me with disappointment and anger.

"What is it?"

I asked as I let my gaze fall upon her face. She looked me in the eyes.

"Serena. Do you have another soul in your body?"

Raye looked at me dead on. I sat in utter shock. How did she know? Duh! She is a priestess you know. She can sense these kinds of things you know! You really are stupid! Risa mocked me in my own head. I mentally strangled her.

"Having another soul in your body is dangerous it eats away at your body slowly till one of the dominate two souls can control the body. The other will be kicked out of the body."

Raye stated as she leaned against the wall. I knew she would worry. Even though the scouts and I were all ways at each others' throat we still cared for one other. It is a very complicated situation to explain.

"Yes. Can you help?"

I sighed knowing that lying would get me no where. Raye looked at me with a sadden look.

"Sorry. Serena but I cannot help. This can't be helped till one of you take over the body completely. You have to fight this on your own."

Raye finished. I was dumbfounded. I knew who would win. Risa was the devil's child how do you compete against that? Serena it looks like the only way to get out of your body is to take control because my demonic power is already your life support so if I left you would die and its not like I can leave either. My father merged my soul with your body so I am bound to your body like you. The only way to escape is to die which is what I planned to do when I take over. Sorry but you will no longer be alive Serena. Risa answered my question with a long sigh. You think I'll let you take control your wrong! This is my body and you will leave no matter what it takes. I growled mentally at Risa. I heard Risa laugh with glee and determination. No can do. If you win my pride will get hurt not to mention I would lose all my powers as a demon. Don't ask why. It is that way. Risa chuckled as she became silent. I got up to leave but Raye blocked my way. She looked concerned for once. I glared at her with rage.

"Out of my way Raye. I have some issues to settle."

I snapped as I shoved her out of my way.

"Serena! Tell me who is in your body!"

Raye grabbed my arm before I could even take one step away from her. I turned my head and looked at her.

"The devil's daughter."

I answered. Stunned Raye let go of my arm. I walked out of the room and towards Kain's body. He needed a proper burial even if he didn't have many friends or family members. A friend and little brother was how I saw him and that is what he deserved. I picked up Kain's body and headed towards my older brother's grave yard.

~+!Raye's Pov!+~

"The devil's daughter?"

I repeated as I watched Serena leave. She doesn't stand a chance. How the heck did she get the devil's daughter in her body? It just doesn't make sense. But at least I know why she was acting so strange. Serena wasn't herself but the devil's child. I thought to myself as I stood there. I needed to contact the scouts and immediate. I took out my communicator and turned it on. But before I called there was a crash outside and Serena came out of nowhere and slammed right into me.

"What the hell Serena?"

I screamed in anger as I shoved Serena off. She slumped to the floor and didn't move. I nudged her but she only rolled over.

"Serena!"

I began to panic but before I could do anything a long shadow loomed over me. I looked up to see Barle standing a couple a feet away. She grinned as she tossed a black crystal into the air. Barle caught it in her mouth and swallowed it whole. She grinned as she disappeared and reappeared right in front of me. She threw me fast and hard against my bedroom wall within a blink of a eye. My sight got bleary as I weakly lifted my head and saw Serena slowly get up and punched Barle right in the face but then suddenly everything became dark.

~+!Lita's Pov!+~

I leaned back in my chair as Artemis sat up in my lap. Mina gulped down the batch of cookies I just finished making and it looked like I would be making more soon. Amy sat and read an exam book while taking sips of her drink.

"You guys! Pay attention! We need to discuss a battle plan for a raid on Barle and Wiseman!"

Artemis ordered but we all just went back to our own state of minds and blocked out the mewing white cat. I sighed as I breathed in the scent of Rosemary and Lilies. I wonder if Serena got out nice and safe out of the negaverse. Then out of nowhere my communicator rang but stopped the moment it came. Everybody stopped what they were doing and looked at me. I sat up and answered my communicator but got no signal. I tried calling back but still got no signal. I stood up with Mina and Amy in with me.

"Since we don't now who called we should split up to Serena's house, Raye's house, and the park just to make sure everything was fine. I'll go check up on Raye. Mina take Artemis and head towards Serena's place. Amy scope out the park just to be on the safe side."

I announced and waited for everybody's approval. They nodded and grabbed their pens.

"MERCURY STAR POWER!"

"VENUS STAR POWER!"

"JUPITER STAR POWER!"

We screamed out our planets and morphed. Then we ran out of my apartment and towards our destination. People glanced my way as I ran towards Raye's temple. I ignored them and kept running. As the stairs to the temple came in view I saw that people were running away trying to escape as two figures battled. I couldn't make out the faces before they disappeared from view. Their fast. I thought to myself. I ran up the steps but when I came to the top I about cried. The place was destroyed and Raye's grandpa was in the middle of it and was unconscious. I dashed over to him and checked him from head to toe. He was fine just knocked out. I scanned the rest of the wreckage and caught a glimpse of Raye before the building completely collapsed. I lied Raye's grandfather somewhere safe and ran to the destroyed temple and began to dig up the ruble and wood. Luckily the building was made out of light weight construction so it was easy to move stuff around. In no time I got Raye and pulled her out of the area and dragged her over to her only relative. She was breathing and she was in no worse condition than her grandfather and he was perfectly fine. I sighed with relief but before I could call the rest of the scouts there was a loud thud behind me. I turned around alert and ready to fight but I didn't know what to do. Barle was holding Serena by the collar of her shirt while she was dragging her towards me. Serena was covered in blood and was still bleeding. She was trying to loosen Barle's grip on her collar but she was still weak and couldn't.

"Dammit! Let go!"

Serena screamed as she took hold of Barle's arm and vainly tried to get her off of her. Serena was tattered and out of breath as her normal blonde hair was tainted with her own blood. Her eyes were orange and ringed in purple like back in the negaverse when she was fighting Galaxia. Fear welled inside my chest and told me to run but I couldn't leave Raye and her Grandpa to defend for themselves especially when they were unconscious. Barle walked towards me and lifted up Serena.

"Here have some trash."

She tossed Serena to the ground and charged me. I put my fists up ready to fight but out of nowhere Raye flung her body in front of me and took the hit. Raye collided with me and she stumbled to the ground on all fours.

"Sailor Jupiter get out of here."

Raye clutched her chest as her breathing got shallow. Barle stood there profound with interest. Raye slowly got to her feet. I tried to walk over to her and help her up but she gave me one of her famous you-come-over-here-and-I'll-kill-you-myself glares. I snorted with amusement and watched her thrust her pen into the air.

"MARS STAR POWER!"

Raye shouted and turned into Sailor Mars.

"Mars Fire Ignite!"

Sailor Mars screamed and sent a blast of fire at Barle. Barle was swallowed in flames but suddenly they were extinguished.

"Ouch."

Barle mocked as she smiled holding back laughter. Raye began gasping for breath and fell to her knees. I ran to her and tried to get her to lie down but before I did a thing a scream fill the air and there was sickening crack. I glanced over my shoulder to see Serena holding Barle by both her arms behind her and Serena's foot planted in the middle of both Barle's shoulder blades. Serena was scowling as if she wasn't pleased and pulled on Barle's arm till blood began to drip to the ground.

"Your a traitor. I thought we had an agreement! Damn you!"

Barle spat as her arms were suddenly ripped off. Blood came gushing down in spirals of blood.

"Hey Barle I don't take orders from a group that can't do what I ask but I am willing to give you a pair of hands."

Serena grinned as she waved Barle's detached limbs at her. Barle cursed Serena as she swayed. Serena threw Barles arms to the ground and strolled over to her. She placed both hands on Barle shoulders and leaned in towards her face.

"You know Galaxia was a lot funner than this. I hope Wiseman is ten times stronger than Galaxia because you are nothing more than a useless pawn."

I could barely hear Serena's words she whispered to Barle. Then she placed her hands on Barles neck and squeezed till Barles head popped off. Serena dusted off her bloody hands and began to walk over to me. She looked rather disappointed.

"Hey Lita hand Raye over to me."

Serena asked I nodded in question and handed Raye over to Serena. Raye gave Serena an angry look as she kept gripping her stomach.

"Serena I think Barle cracked some of Raye's ribs."

I reported but Serena glanced down at Raye.

"What should I do with you now? You caused me quite a lot of stress. And I think you should pay."

Serena smiled as she slammed Raye to the ground and began to smash Raye's head against the ground. Raye screamed in terror as she was vigorously slammed against the ground after a while Raye was knocked out. Serena kept smashing long after blood began to trickle on the ground. I had, had enough of Serena and shoved Serena off of Raye and pinned her to the ground. Serena sneered as she took hold of one of my shoulders with a free hand and snapped my arm out of its socket I cried out in pain and punched Serena square in the jaw so hard she became unconsumed.

I spat on her face as I roughly pushed myself off of her in anger. My left arm hurt but I could still move it. I picked up Raye and looked around for my communicator but when I found it. It was completely destroyed. I groaned in frustration and glanced over to Raye's grandfather. He was fine but I couldn't leave him out here to found out his only home and career was gone. I placed Raye back down and untransformed. I put a hand on Raye and untransformed her. My arm hurt like hell but I didn't give a damn when a friend was bleeding right out of the skull. I sat down next to her and sighed. Why must theses things happen to me? I never could understand. Maybe it was just by chance or did fate enjoy pissing the hell out of me? Well whatever the answer was I didn't care because a Raye needed to go to the hospital and bad.

My thoughts clouded my mind but I pushed them away and picked up Raye. I carried her bridal style while I walked over to her grandfather and gave him a piggyback. I felt like I weighed about a ton but Raye needed treatment and I wasn't one to complain. I grunted every step as I walked down the temple stairs. When I was already down the flight I noticed that nobody was in sight and that the road was obliterated. I began to make my way to the hospital. The farther I got from Raye's temple the more people seem to be around. People started to stare at me but no one said a thing. When the hospital came in sight I about jumped with joy but I didn't because if I did I would have dropped Raye and her grandfather. My back began to hurt and blood was already beginning to run down my left arm as my shoulder began to slowly tear from the weight of Raye's body and also the fact that it was dislocated. My sight was starting to get blurry from the searing pain as more blood started to gush out of my tearing shoulder. My footsteps were getting heavier by each step. When I finally reached the doors of the hospital people were already at my aid. A doctor came and picked up Raye out of my arms and a nurse took Raye's grandfather off my back. They placed the relatives on stretchers and carried them off. I sat down in one off the chairs in the waiting room with a sigh of relief. A nurse walked up towards me.

"Miss, you need to come with me. That arm of yours won't fix it's self."

The nurse made small talk as she lead me out of the waiting room and down hall after hall. I started to feel dizzy from all the turning but the nurse stopped and almost made me topple over her.

"We're here. Please sit on the bed while I go get some supplies."

The nurse ordered me as she pointed to a small one person bed in a single room cover in blue and purple wall paper. I walked over and sat on the bed. As I waited I could hear moaning and screaming off in the distance. I began to fidget as the clock on the wall ticked away like a bomb. Blood stained the white sheets of the bed. The gash in my shoulder had gotten pretty deep and stretched a little down my chest and my back. Basically my arm was half way ripped off my shoulder. Carrying Raye and her grandfather had almost cost me an arm. I began to feel oozy so I lied down and put my arm over my eyes. My body felt heavy and I felt sleepy. Before I could stay awake my eyes started to droop and I was already asleep.

"-iss. Miss. Miss."

A voice called to me nudging me awake. I opened my eyes to see a different nurse shaking me. She looked sincere but I tried not to pay attention. I sat up but the nurse pushed me back down.

"That wound is pretty bad. You have to lay down and rest. I fixed your wound but your shoulder is still dislocated so you'll have to stay in the hospital for the next few days. But I have to take you in a different room so hop into this wheelchair for me OK?"

The nurse polity signaled to a wheelchair. I turned my head to look at her and nodded. She helped me get up and stand. While I was standing I noticed that the sheets were drenched in blood so bad that it was dripping to the cold tile floor. I shivered as my sneakers sploshed against the blood. I couldn't feel any pain but I couldn't move my arm. I sat down in the chair but my eyes were glued to the blood.

"Your lucky."

The nurse's voice snapped me out of my transfixed state and slap me back into reality.

"What did you say?"

I asked trying to remember what she said.

"You lost a lot of blood and that arm was almost completely torn off. At the rate you were losing blood most people would be dead. And while you were sleeping we couldn't move you to the other side of the hospital because you were bleeding so bad. So we had to make use of what we could do. You'll have to get a blood transfusion to make up all that blood you lost."

The nurse told me. I halfheartedly nodded as she continued to ramble. She moved me out of the room and towards a elevator that was down the hall. We waited for the elevator for a bit but when the doors open I about jumped out of my wheelchair and ran. There stood Raye. She looked terrified and was dressed in a hospital gown. Crimson liquid was trailing down Raye's face and her eyes seemed unnaturally pale for their usual purple. She thrashed her head around if unsure of where to go. But before I could ask her what was wrong the nurse was already to her aid.

"Miss are you alright?"

The nurse slowly reached down to touch Raye's hand. But when the nurse touched her hand Raye bounded backwards and looked around with scared eyes.

"W-w-who said that?Answer me!"

Raye screamed. The nurse withdrew backwards with fear. Then the elevator door started to close and Raye pushed her arms out and shuffled around in the elevator. The nurse was in the way of the doors and she didn't get out of the way in time before it tried to close on her. But luckily it opened once more as the nurse shoved the doors open. Then when Raye touched the nurse she grabbed her by the collar and slammed her head against the wall. When the nurse slumped to the floor unconsciously Raye yelled.

"What did I do? What did I do? What did I do!"

Raye put her hands to cover her face as she shook her head. I stood up from the wheelchair and began to slowly approach Raye.

"Raye. Calm down."

I soothed Raye as I put my hand on her shoulder. Raye jumped out of my reach as the doors of the elevator closed. Raye trembled as she walked backwards into a corner. I pushed the stop button on the elevator panel and turned back towards the mortified Raye.

"Who's out there?"

Raye howled as she fell to the floor and pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs as she huddled close to the wall. I was confused on Raye's strange behavior but I inched my way towards her.

"Raye its Lita. Calm down are you okay?"

I called to her. Raye relaxed a little but was still tense.

"Lita? Is that you?"

Raye looked up in my direction. She slowly unwrapped her arms from her legs and got to her feet. I felt a rock in my stomach.

"Raye I'm right in front of you."

I told her as I took a step towards her.

"Are you sure? I haven't been able to see anything. Am I dreaming?"

Raye's confused voice cause me to feel useless. I embraced Raye into a hug.

"No Raye you aren't dreaming."

Tears began to fall down my face as the realization hit me.

"Oh god Lita...does that mean I'm...I'm...I'm blind? It can't be true please tell me it isn't true."

Raye wailed as she sobbed into my dislocated shoulder. My silence told Raye her answer and she cried even harder.

"Raye it might be temperately. You may just be blind for a little while."

I tried to calm down the hysterical Raye even though the beating Raye took from Serena that getting her eye sight may be very slim. I unlatched Raye as she stopped crying and turned the elevator back on. We were going up and I sighed with relief that Raye had calmed down. As the elevator doors opened once more I was taken in for another surprise. Hotaru and Setsuna looked at Raye and me with worry as they walked into the elevator and pressed the bottom floor.

"Lita, why are Raye and you in the hospital? Are you visiting?"

Hotaru asked as she looked up at me. Raye shot her head up from my shoulder and looked around wildly.

"Lita! Who was that?"

Raye asked as she gripped my shirt. Setsuna glanced sideways at Raye as the outers' eyes fell upon me.

"Its Setsuna and Hotaru. You're fine. Raye is..."

I broke off the sentence as I looked down at the floor unable to tell the outers of Raye's current blindness that is probably permanent.

"Blind. I may be temperately blind."

Raye sulked as she closed her eyes. I looked back into Raye's eyes as she opened them and noticed that they were turning gray. Then while I looked back down to the floor I noticed the flecks of blood on the ground. I noticed that blood was trailing down my arm from my bandaged shoulder. I must have reopened it when I got up from the wheelchair and moving around. I thought. My favorite shirt was soaked in blood. Jeez, how nice. I ran a hand through my hair. I glanced back up at Hatoru. She met my eyes with the same expression. I smiled trying to lighten the mood.

"We're all fine. Setsuna, Hotaru, are you just getting out of the hospital?"

I asked as we stepped out of the elevator.

"No we got out a couple of days ago. We came her to visit Michelle."

Setsuna replied with a shy smile. We walked over to the nurses station but as I tried to guide Raye she tripped over my shoe and fell face first on the tile floor. Raye squealed in surprise and made a little cry of pain as she got to her legs.

"Raye. You need to see a doctor."

I announced as I helped her get her balance. But Raye pushed me away and glanced downward. She frowned and closed her eyes and breathed slowly.

"Alright. I'll go back only if your with me. I don't want to be alone. Please, Lita?"

Raye pleaded as she tugged on my shirt like a little lost kid. I nodded but I forgot Raye was blind.

"Fine by me. We'll visit Michelle also."

I announced as I waved goodbye to Hotaru and Setsuna. I leaned over the counter and peered over at the nurses.

"Ma'am. My friend here needs to see a doctor and asap. Its important."

I told a nurse that was tapping away on a key board. She gave me a look as she squinted through her glasses and snorted.

"Ya. So does every other poor sap that is in this miserable hospital. Now go sit down and wait your turn while filling out this paper work."

The nurse handed me some paper with a clip board. I stared at her with dumfound.

"Did you not hear me miss? I said to fill out this paper work turn it in while you sit down and wait to be called."

The nurse waved the paper in my face.

"I heard you! My friend needs help right now!"

I snapped as I grabbed Raye's hand. Raye flinched at the tone of my voice. The nurse scowled and put her glasses down to look at me directly.

"Miss. There are people here that are dying. You and your friend look fine to me. The only thing that seems to be the problem is your tone and your dopey friend now go sit down."

The nurse ordered as she shoved the papers in my hand. I smacked it away and it clattered to the floor. The nurse looked at me with her full attention.

"Go sit down. Or I'll have to call security."

The nurse tried to keep her voice calm but I detected anger and threat in her tone. I slammed my hand against the counter and leaned over it so the nurse and me were touching foreheads.

"My friend can't see. Every moment you waste is another percent my friend my not get her sight back. Now get a doctor right now or you'll be another poor sap in this miserable hospital."

I threatened as my grip tightened on Raye's hand. People were looking at me with interest and fear. I ignored them. The nurse frowned and looked at me with disdain and dislike.

"Is that a threat? So security it is."

The nurse reached over to a button installed in the nurses station but I snatched the nurse's hand and yanked it towards her side.

"Call the doctor! Listen to what I'm saying you jerk."

I grabbed the nurse's collar and stared at her hard in the eyes.

"No. People die. People live. You and your friend are part of that cycle. So is everyone else. So what if someone loses their eye sight? People are born with out limbs and they live on. So your friend can live with out sight."

The nurse growled as she pried me off her. I rose my fist ready to strike her right in the kisser.

"Stop! This is a hospital for god's sake!"

A shriek came from behind. I whipped around in rage as I flung the nurse backwards. The nurse fell off her chair and landed on the floor. I looked as another nurse came scattering down the hall towards me. She stopped as she stood in front of me and Raye. The nurse looked at the nurse I had pushed with rage.

"Nice work Ashitaka. Thanks to you this patient of mine might lose her eye sight thanks to your stalling. She needs to got to the ER immediate. Come."

The nurse clasped Raye's hand and led her away. Raye fumbled as she was guided down the hall. I stared after them but before I could follow a rip of pain rippled through me. I glance at me shoulder and noticed that more blood was flowing.

"Dang."

I muttered to myself as I felt dizzy and my vision faltered. I crumbled to my knees into the puddle of blood. My sight was getting blearier by the nano second. I moved my head up and peered out through one eye as I watched Raye turn the corner. I felt my pulse get slower and slower. I heard screams and shuffling but I couldn't make them out. I closed my eyes and looked out into the nothingness before I couldn't think.

~+!Serena's Pov!+~

"Aaagg. Where am I?"

I grumbled as I rubbed my sore jaw. Pathetic. And yet you hold the silver imperium crystal of the moon kingdom but yet your so weak. I should have full control but your so stubborn. Risa yelled at me. It felt like she was pounding at me head with a cement brick.

"Heh. The silver imperium crystal I gave it to-"

I stopped as thought ran through my mind. My heart thudded with hope. Risa you can read my mind do you think it will work? I called out to her. Nice thought. Maybe we can try it. But you need to get the crystal back from Raye though.

Risa agreed and the pain stopped well except the pain in my jaw. I sighed as I stood up. I looked around at the ruins of some building. I stopped when the familiar destroyed building told me were I was.

"Raye's house. What happened? Risa what the heck did you do?"

I screamed to the heavens at the top of my lungs. None of your business. It was personal business. Risa ignored me.

"Well when you share my body it is my business!"

I retorted at her with a snort of frustration. Still not going to tell you. This business was before I came into your body. So nick-nack and stay off my back. Risa sniggered with laughter for some reason. I gave up. Risa can read my mind but I can't read hers. Exactamoondo. Risa agreed. I gave up an ignored her. Wait. Risa where is Raye? Do you know? Nope not a clue. Find her yourself. Risa wasn't much help. I sighed but as I was running my hand through my hair I stopped. The smell of iron filled my nose and sticky liquid clung to my hair. I looked at me hand and examined it closely. Blood. My hand was covered in blood. What did you do? Risa tell me! Please don't tell me you-. No I don't want to hear it. I screamed in my mind as I ran towards the hospital.

I flew down the damaged stairs but stopped when I noticed a trail of blood leading in the direction towards the hospital. Fear and worry swelled inside of me. My feet carried me towards in a different direction that I thought I was going. My eyes stared at the ground. But suddenly I collided with something and fell flat on my butt. I looked up and felt my heart crash and burn. The thing I had bumped into was non other than my ex-boyfriend Darien.

"Watch were your-"

Darien stopped mid sentence as he looked at me more closely. His eyes narrowed and he scowled in disgust.

"You. So you did that to Raye. I should have known. Its always you."

Darien growled as he lifted me by the collar and raised his fist.

"Tell me the truth. Did you hurt Raye?"

Darien demanded as he shook me like a rag doll. I shook my head trying to think but my confusion was making it hard.

"Wrong!"

Darien barked as he punched me in the stomach. I said nothing as he took out his rage on me.

"I knew it you did do this!"

Darien came up with his own answer. He kneed me in the abdomen and dropped me like a sack of potatoes. Pain twisted through my body like fire. I didn't say anything as Darien ran off. As I staggered to my feet a thought hit me. Why should I be going to the hospital I have no friend there. People I know but not friends. I sulked off towards the crown which turned out to be a big mistake. As I opened the doors of the Crown I stopped dead in my tracks. Mina, and Amy stood in the middle of the parlor. As soon as I saw them I turned around and tried to go back the way I can but I had been spotted.

"SERENA! Get the hell back in here!"

Mina roared as she tackled me to the floor. My nose smashed against the ground and hurt. Mina dragged me back into the Crown I didn't struggle knowing what was to come. Mina got me up and pushed me into one of the booths. I saw Amy setting herself on the opposite side across the table as she stared at me with cold eyes. Amy was always gentle but she seemed scarier than death itself. Mina sat right next to me.

"Serena, Lita just called us that Raye and her were in the hospital. Do you know why?"

Amy coldly told me. I shook my head afraid if I spoke it would come out wrong. Amy and Mina shared glances but they both nodded in silence.

"Well Lita said that you hurt Raye and now Raye is surgery. Is Lita lying or not? Tell Serena."

Mina calmly asked as she tapped on the table waiting for my answer. I knew how to answer but it would hurt in the end.

"Lita isn't lying and I think I did hurt Raye because there was blood when I woke up at Raye's temple but I can't remember."

I told Amy and Mina the most honest truth of what I remembered. But Amy seemed unconvinced. Mina looked sincere.

"Can I leave?"

I asked as I stood up but Mina got up and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Hold on. Lets go to the Hospital and get this all straightened out. And your coming too Serena."

Mina announced. Amy nodded and Mina leaded me out of the Crown towards the hospital.
