Chapter 10!
It's still a flashback chapter. Just letting you know.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon.
Saturday Afternoon- October 6th, With Amber
Amber emerged from under the water, letting out a deep breath. She pulled off her face-mask, which covered her eyes and nose, and set them on her deck. She swam to the middle of the pool and sighed.
"Why can't I think of a way to get Taiki to regret challenging me?" Amber wondered aloud. She wouldn't let him go unpunished for this.
5 Minutes Later, With Hubert
"Is it all set?" Hubert asked the Water Demon.
"Yes, Master Hubert. I will pull the girl underwater and through the portal to here."
"Excellent. You may proceed," Hubert said. The water demon nodded and teleported away.
Hubert scowled when he was alone. He knew that this Amber-girl had something to do with Queen Keres' and Princess Amy's disappearance. Hubert flicked his wrist.
Four images appeared be fore him. The first was of Princess Amy, beside her stood Princess Michelle, and in front of them was the frozen pond that Princess Amy had just touched.
The second was of Princess Amy running towards her castle with water pushing her forward.
The third was of Amber walking. Behind her was a partially frozen wall.
The fourth and final was of Amber and Princess Amara racing. Amber is being pushed forward by water.
Hubert flicked his wrist again and the images disappeared. He just knew that Amber had something to do with Princess Amy. They were both to similar, in appearance, personality, and powers. It might not seem like it, but if you had observed Princess Amy enough, you would know she was a lot more like Amber.
'I will figure this out,' Hubert promised. 'I will make you proud, Queen Keres. I just need to get Amber here.'
With Amber
"I got it!" Amber exclaimed with joy. She had finally thought of a way to get back at Taiki and to make sure he doesn't beat her...again.
Suddenly, the water started to act weird. Small waves started coming, water started splashing out of the pool.
"Huh?" Amber stared, confused. She started to run towards the stairs that led into the pool, but before she got far, Amber felt a hand grab her ankle and pull her underwater.
She fought desperately against the water. Her own element had turned against her.
Amber managed to fight enough to get above the water, but she was up for barely a second before she was pulled back down. She looked down and released the little air she had left in her when she screamed.
At the botom of the pool, there was a purple and black circle. Coming from the circle was a blue, demonic hand...and it was pulling her down.
Amber fought even more desperately as she felt herself losing conciousness from the lack of air. She felt tears come to her eyes and screamed when there was a powerful pull on her ankle.
When Amber had screamed, a strange blue mark appeared on her forehead. A powerful energy appeared around her in different shades of blue. The energy circled her for a moment before bursting to the sky.
Energy Beam Appears in the Sky, With Taiki
Taiki stared in shock at the blue energy beam in the sky.
Due to him being a Starlight, though still in training, he could feel things about energy that others couldn't. From this beam of energy, he could feel only fear and panic.
Taiki started running towards the energy's point.
While he was running, Taiki had shouted, "Maker Star Power!"
After Energy Appears in the Sky, With Amber
Amber felt all of her energy drain from after this happened. She felt the hand on her ankle leave. She briefly glanced down and Amber saw the hand retreating into the circle and the circle slowly disappearing.
Amber almost sighed in relief before remembering that she was underwater and couldn't breath. She used the last of her strength to swim to the surface. The only problem was that she didn't have the strength to stay above the water. As Amber lost conciousness, she slipped beneath the water.
As Amber Falls Beneath the Water, With Sailor Star Maker
Sailor Star Maker ran as fast as she could. The energy was still in the sky, but the light and force had dimmed. She finally reached the place. It was a house. 354 Mercurian Road.
"That explains the blue," Maker thoughtfully said aloud. "Blue is Mercury's colour. The energy was different shades of blue. This is Mercurian Road, where all Mercurian Royalty stays for visits or where people who came from Mercury a long time ago live," Maker paused. "Wait... Does that mean that Mercurian Royalty is in trouble? Normal citizens can't do this."
With that in mind, Maker ran to the back of the house where she sensed and saw the energy. Maker arrived just in time to see a girl, about her age, slip under the water. The girl was unconcious and had a strange mark on her forehead.
Maker ran towards the pool and jumped in the water. She swam towards the drowning girl and got her out of the water. Maker swam to the stairs and stepped out, carrying the girl with her. She saw a towel hanging over the edge and grabbed it with her free hand. Maker layed the towel out and gently placed the girl on it.
For the first time, Maker got a got a good look at the girl. "Amber?" she asked, shocked. Then she remembered that she needed to do CPR.
She leaned down close to Amber's face. Maker used one of her hands to open Amber's mouth. She took a deep breath and pressed her mouth against Amber's, releasing the breath.
'One,' Maker mentally counted. After repeating this three more times, she heard a little cough from Amber. She moved her face away and turned Amber so she was laying on her side.
Waking Up, With Amber
Amber felt herself coughing as she struggled to get the water out of her lungs. She finally stopped coughing and opened her eyes, turning her head towards the light.
The first thing she noticed was a pair of beautiful, purple eyes staring down at her.
'They look so much like Taiki's,' Amber thought dreamily. Then her eyes widened. 'Where did that thought come from? This can't be Taiki, can it?' Amber looked away from the eyes and looked at the body. 'Nope. This is a woman.'
"Will you be alright?" The girl asked her.
"I think so," Amber croaked. "Who are you?"
The girl hesitated before replying with, "Sailor Star Maker. Why?"
'Not Taiki then,' Amber thought. 'But they look so alike.' Amber looked at Sailor Star Maker and realized what she had been asked.
"What if I want to know the name of my saviour?" Amber questioned, smiling. "You also look like someone I know."
Sailor Star Maker flinched. "Who do I look like?"
"...Just some boy at school."
Amber just realised something. Everything around her was blurry. She couldn't see anything clearly. Her eyes widened and she blinked over and over.
Sailor Star Maker didn't notice. "What is that mark on your forehead?"
Amber was confused. "What mark?"
Sailor Star Maker glanced at her forehead. "Nevermind. I have to go." With that she stood up, walked to the edge of the deck, jumped over, and ran off. Amber stared at her, shocked, as she ran away.
Amber shook her head and stood up. "Weird," she muttered to herself. She grabbed her towel, wrapped it around herself, and started walking to the door inside.
...
Amber changed out of her bathing suit and into her regular clothes.
Her vision was still blurred.
She was in front of the bathroom mirror, brushing her hair, when she noticed something odd, Her medium-green coloured eyes were now blue.
Amber backed away from the mirror and turned around, leaving the bathroom. As she turned her back on the mirror, a small section of the blonde hair on the back of her head turned blue.
Energy Beam Appears in the Sky, On Mercury
The energy went straight to Mercury. It was almost as if the planet could feel its protecter/princess' fear and panic and wanted to help, to fix it.
That's when a strange thing happened on the planet. The air became colder. The ice became thicker.
The Calder River was also covered in ice, much less than the rest of the planet which was odd. If anyone had been there to witness it, then they would have seen the faint glow of blue from under the ice.
Wednesday at School- October 6th, With Taiki
He was smitten and he knew it. Taiki couldn't get Amber off of his mind. The way that on Monday, she had come to school with blue eyes. She kept squinting her eyes, blinking repeatedly, and had asked the teacher to move to the front. Yesterday, she had her medium-green eyes back and was no longer sqinting, blinking, and asking to move to the front.
The way that Yesterday she had come to school with almost an entire set of blue hair and it was a lot shorter, but Today her hair had been back to blonde with blue streaks and long.
Taiki couldn't understand why Princess Venus would feel the need to warn him about Amber. Amber was kind, observant, smart, beautiful, loyal, and quiet.
Taiki hadn't talked to Amber very much, but this was what he had gotten from when he had observed her.
Today after Writing class, Taiki finally approached her.
"Hello Amber," Taiki said, walking up to her.
Amber smiled at him, making it hard for him to believe that she would want to destroy him. "Hello Taiki. How are you today?"
"I am good. Yourself?"
Amber's smile dimmed. "Fine."
Taiki tilted his head. "Why do you lie?"
Amber's eyes widened. "Pardon?"
"Why do you lie?" Taiki repeated. "It's obvious by the way your smile dimmed."
Amber blushed. Taiki noticed that she took a deep breath to regain her composure before she said, "Even if I was lying-"
"Which you are," Taiki interjected. Amber glared at him.
"Why do you care?" Amber finished.
Taiki stared Amber staright in the eye. "Why shouldn't I?"
Amber huffed at him, then she stormed off.
Amber's Favourite Place, With Amber
Amber sighed as she sat down on the soft grass. Everywhere around her was filled with nature. Behind her was grass, trees, and a path that led back to her road. On both sides of her was trees and grass. In front of her was a large pond filled with geese, loons, and ducks. Behind the pond was more trees. Amber was sitting in a clearing.
"How is it that Taiki can make me blush like a stupid, crushing, school girl?" she asked herself aloud.
"Taiki, as in, my cousin Taiki?" asked a familar voice. Amber jumped, not hearing anyone come over. She turned around and saw Yaten Kou, the youngest Kou cousin.
Amber smirked and rolled her eyes. "Who else?"
Yaten smirked back at her and stroked his chin in mock consideration. "Allow me to stroke my beard in consideration." He paused. "The mailman?"
Amber burst out laughing. Yaten smiled an amused smile before laughing too.
After calming down, Amber asked Yaten, "So how did you find my place?"
"This is your place?" Yaten asked. Amber nodded. "Oh, sorry. I was just wandering around when I saw the pathway. I decided to follow it and I found this place."
"Oh," Amber said. "I chose this to be my place because I didn't think anybody would follow the path."
"Seems you were wrong," Yaten said, chuckling. Amber stiffened. He noticed.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Amber sighed. "I don't like being wrong."
Yaten snorted and rolled his eyes. "I don't think anybody really likes being wrong, it's just a part of life."
"I know that that," Amber said. "But that doesn't mean I have to like it."
"I never said you said to," Yaten said, sitting down beside her.
There was silence for a few minutes before Yaten asked, "So what's this about Taiki making you blush?"
Amber sighed and rolled her eyes. "It's stupid."
"No it's not," Yaten said, before smiling slyly. "If Taiki can get a girl to like him, then it's an accomplishment."
Amber raised an eyebrow at him and smirked. "At least he can get a girl to like him. Where's your girl?"
Amber stopped dead as she realised what she said. Yaten noticed too.
"So you do like Taiki," he said, smirking slyly. Amber blushed and started stuttering. Yaten laughed.
"Don't worry, I won't tell him," he said. "But to answer your question, I've been getting acquainted with Mina."
Amber smirked through her blush. "So you're on a first-name basis with Mina as well?"
"Yes," Yaten said. "Wait, you can call her Mina?"
Amber smiled. "Yes. After the singing competition she let me call her Mina."
"Hmm, nice." Yaten said.
It was silent. It was nice being in Yaten's presence. His funny and sarcastic comments made her laugh and made her relax. Then Amber remembered what Yaten had said.
"You don't have to worry about not telling Taiki that I like him," Amber said. "I don't like him. I'm just making him pay for beating me."
"That almost makes me feel bad for him," Yaten said. 50% joking and 50% serious.
Amber was silent. She didn't know for sure, but she thought she was starting to feel bad for him.
This took a lot longer to write than I thought it would. *Laughs* Sorry about that.
Sorry if my description of CPR was bad.
