The Cemetery

The plane finally landed in Darien's home town. He decided after he got his luggage to find head to John's since he would be staying at his place.

"Hey man. Great to see you again."

"You too."
"Thanks for calling, emailing, writing."
"I get it, I'm sorry. I've been stressed."
"What about?"
"Long story."
"Well let's go inside and we'll put your stuff down and get you settled."
"Sure."
The two walked into the house and to the room Darien would be staying in.

"Well where's Serena? Why didn't she come with you?"
Darien smacked himself in the head. "I can't believe I didn't tell you."
"Tell me what? Did you two break up? You were such a great couple."
"No, it's not that."
"Well then what is it?"
"You know that Japanese group she loved so much?"
"The Three Lights? Didn't they disappear or something?"
"Yah, with Serena."
"WHAT!?"
"Yah, Seyia, the lead singer kidnapped her. Remember when my birthday was?" He nodded. "That's the day it happened. She's been gone ever since."

"Really? Aw man, why did he do that?"
"He had some fascination with her. One day he asked her to break up with me, when she protested, he then said they could be 'fuck buddies' and I didn't have to know."
"What did she do?"
"Call him a pervert and stormed off."

"Go Rena!"

"Yah, well now she's stuck with him and his brothers. I saw her once at graduation, but Seyia threatened to shoot her. She was covered in bruises. In my apartment on the couch, I found semen. He raped her. She hadn't been on her pills for some unknown amount of time, and he probably didn't bother getting her any."
"He could've used a condom."
"I doubt it. The police found nothing. All they found was the semen and blood."
"Blood?"
"Yah, we don't know from what though."

"Man, so she's been gone for eight months?"
"Since the beginning of April." He sighed.

"And there's no information?"
"Nothing. I even hired a PI (Private Investigator for those who didn't know), but all he found out was that they aren't in Japan anymore. They could be anywhere in the world."
"You'll find her, don't worry. Are you still going to propose?"
"Yah. When we get her back, I'm making her mind forever."
"I'm sure it'll be soon."
"Andrew swears I'll be the one to find her, and you say it'll be soon."

"Really? He said that?"

"Yah."
"Well never underestimate the power of the brotherly bond."
"Yah, yah, yah. Now let's go. I'm hungry."
"We can go to the Royal."
"Sure, that's fine with me."

"You know it hasn't been as fun since you two left. Come to think of it, it's gotten quieter."
"Well the Crown has gotten louder."
"Poor Andrew."
"Is there a hidden insult in that?"
"No."

"Sure." He said as they got in Josh's car.

0.o

"So got any big plans for tomorrow?" Darien asked as he sipped at his coffee.

"You mean other then sitting on my lazy ass in front of the TV?"
"Yah."
"Nope." He said with a smirk.

"Entertaining."
"You know it! What about you? Anything other then going to the cemetery?"
"Nope."
"Well we'll just have a nice dinner at my place."
"Want me to pick up Taco Bell on the way back?"
"Hell yah."
"You haven't changed." He said shaking his head.

"You know it." He said grabbing his coat. "Now let's go. Ryan's having a Christmas Eve party at his place."
"Since when do you go partying?"
"He's my other brother! What do you expect?"
"As long as you don't get drunk. Remember the last time you did that?"
"I was drunk…remember?"

"I meant how you felt after."

"That sucked!"

"I was the one that had to deal with you."

"Sorry."
"Yah, let's go."

"You knooooooooooow, I usssallllllly don't d-d-uh-do thisssssssssssss." Josh slurred.

"Yah, well today you're wasted." Darien said as he led his friend down the driveway.

"Nnnnnnnno I'm noooooot…" He tripped. "Okay, maybe a 'lil."

"Or a lot."
"That toooooooo…hey you is makin' fun of me. I don't like that…"
Darien sighed and opened the car door. "Whatever, get in the car and pass out."

Josh sat down. "Okay." He fell backwards and passed out.

Darien chuckled as he put Josh's feet in the car and shut the door.

He then got in the drivers side, climbed in, and drove away.

"I still can't believe he got so drunk last night." Darien shook his head as he remembered his friend on the floor clinging to the toilet. "It's gonna bee noon by the time I get there." He sighed as he attempted to block his face from the cold wind. "I hate Michigan weather." He mumbled to himself.

Finally, after an hour walk, Darien reached the cemetery. As he approached his parents' gravesite, he heard loud crying.

The crying continued getting louder as he approached the tombstone, and when he finally arrived, he saw a female leaning on it.

Her back was leaning on the back of it, so all he could see was her hair looking a dark brown color from the mud and dirt in it. He guessed it – at one point – it was a dirty blonde color. Like Andrew's. He thought as he moved right behind her, he gasped.

The sight of the woman shocked Darien. She was covered in dirt and mud. It made her look like a mixed child. Maybe she is. He then saw a bundle cradled in the woman's arm that had a small hole. Probably where the baby's head is.

He gently shook the woman's her shoulder. "Ma'am." He said quietly as not to frighten her.

She didn't move.

"Ma'am." He said louder. He shook her again and her arms fell from around the baby.

It was about to hit the ground, but Darien caught it in time. As his arm went to catch the baby, he accidentally brushed the lady's face. It was freezing.

"Oh my." He cradled the baby, gently rocking it, in one arm as he pulled out his cell to call 911.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"There's a lady in the cemetery. She's unconscious, and her skin is freezing. She has no coat on, just a long sleeved shirt."
"I'll send an ambulance right away. Try and keep her warm."
"Sure."

"What's that noise?"
"She had a baby with her. Her coat is wrapped around it."

"Okay, then keep them warm. The ambulance should be there any minute."

"Thank you."
"Good day."
He hung up and stuck his phone in his pants pocket. He then took off his coat and placed it over the unconscious girl as he heard the sirens near.

He cuddled the crying child close. "Shhhhh, you'll be save and warm soon."
He kneeled next to the girl and brushed a few strands of dirty hair out of her face and looked at her.

The paramedics neared, but Darien kept staring at her face until something hit him like a ton of bricks.

"Serena?"

A/N: Sorry it's a little short, but hey, at least I possibly brough Serena back...but I'm not guarenteeing anything. It might be her, it might not. You'll have to find out next chapter.

And one of my reviewers said somthing about how you readers don't know anything about Serena other then the rape and that Seyia took her, but that's how I planned it. No one knows nothing except that...other then me...and my friend cuz she hit me cuz i wouldn't tell her...she's too obsessed with the story. It's not that good...is it? lol...well I promised an update by tomorrow...well it's up tonight...hope you enjoy! And i do have other stories that need attending to...even though this is my fav out of the three. But hey, AM only has one more chapter...YAY! And TL has many more. Not sure on this one...this is what...11, maybe 20...possibly more...not sure...I'll let you know when i get closer to the end!

Thanks for reading...and review!!
