Chapter 10
By: Serena Chibi
Date: June 5, 2011
``` One of the harder chapters I've had to write just because so much happens. You'll have to read to see what exactly happens. I feel like I should point out that I'm not a Seiya-hater or anything I just made him the bad guy in this particular story. I definitely love Darien more than Seiya though, sorry to anyone who thinks otherwise. Either way, enjoy another late-night chapter
Trying to feel the buttons on her phone for a speed-dial, Serena curses out loud because she can't remember which buttons are which on her Blackberry. With her eyes on the ground, she notices the shoes of the person pinning her: perfectly polished black dress shoes. Suddenly her right hand is slammed against the door frame, causing her to drop her phone. Not that it was helping me much anyway, she laughs in her head before the panic returns.
Looking at the dress shoes, then the pressed pants and top of a black suit, Serena finally looks up into her captor's face. Not even having to squint in the dimly lit hallway, she knows who it is. "Seiya." Serena tries her best to sound confident but her voice betrays her.
"Aw, I've missed that little quiver you get in your voice when you know you're in trouble." Seiya whispers, moving his face ever so close to hers and smiling slightly as she tries to push her head further back and away from him. "What was that little nickname that you said they gave you back in school?"
Darien was finally done with his work and he looks at the clock 10:03pm. "Not too late I guess but definitely later than everyone else here. I wonder if Serena is still here." He turns in his seat to look out the window again. "Yep, she's still here⦠and so is that other car, who's is that?"
Taking the steps down because I he didn't get a chance to go running this morning, Darien stops on Serena's floor. Walking up to the desk that Molly is usually working at, Darien hears talking and ducks behind the wall. Trying to look around the wall at who's there, he makes out Serena's shape pressed against the door and can tell the other is a man. Of course she has a boyfriend, that's why she's not interested. Then he crouches there as he listens to the conversation.
"Bunny, that's what it was, wasn't it? Funny because I was trying to figure out what animal you remind me of, and that would be very suitable to you. All scared, and jumpy, you're definitely a bunny." Seiya smirks in Serena's face and she just looks back at him.
"I'm not a bunny anymore, not since I left you almost four months ago." Serena spits back in his face. Hearing this from behind the wall a few doors down, Darien realizes why she needed a job a few months ago.
"See, you somehow managed to slip under my radar and make it this far, meaning I just had to do some hunting. Funny, because I was in town for some stupid gala for large corporations and I didn't even want to go. But lo-and-behold, I go and who should I happen to see, other than my bunny who escaped." Seiya sounds a little angrier now, "Even better, she's dancing with some other guy. Letting him lay his hands on her and no doubt climbing into bed with him."
"No, I didn't." Serena manages out between quiet sobs.
"No, what? No, you didn't let him touch you? No, you didn't enjoy it? What?" Seiya pushes his body closer to hers. "You probably let him go all the way, huh? Touching your body everywhere." He holds both her arms with one hand and moves his other along her body roughly.
"I didn't do anything with him, with anyone." She whimpers, "I swear."
Seiya stops his rough handling of Serena's body when his hand touches her stomach. Surprise is apparent on his face as he looks down then up into her face. "Were you planning on telling me?"
"Why would I tell you? I have no reason to," Serena seizes the moment to manipulate Seiya, leaning as close as she can to his ear, she whispers, "As far as I'm concerned it has no father." At that moment she feels a pain in her stomach but hides it from Seiya.
"You bitch, it's mine as much as yours and I have a right to it!" Seiya watches a flicker of pain come across her face. "The truth hurts, doesn't it? You see, you seem to forget how easily I can break you. You're leaving with me and that's final." Seiya hisses at her.
"I'll never leave with you. You're nothing but a self-righteous bastard. You don't care about anyone or anything other than yourself! All those years of letting you break me like glass are finally over. I left and you can't deal with the fact that someone is finally telling you 'no', so you track me down to what, scare me into leaving with you? Well, it's not happening Seiya, not this time!" Serena is angry and scared at this point, yelling at Seiya and trying to wish away the pain.
Darien had been sitting behind the wall, determined to let her handle the situation. He'd step in if anything went horrible wrong or if she were hurt. He couldn't be sure if Seiya had a weapon on him or not, and he wouldn't dare risk it. He had his phone ready to call his security guards when Seiya became so frustrated with Serena that his anger got the best of him and he slapped her full-force across the face. Serena screamed in pain as she tried to knee Seiya but before her leg could come in contact with him, he was gone.
Opening her eyes, Serena is surprised to find Darien on the ground with Seiya under him. It looks as if Darien may actually have Seiya under control when everything goes black.
