Tuesday October 25th 1977 11:58 P.M. After walking for a little while, We finally get to the park. As we entered the park, Amara got a look on her face. "I don't like this..." She said as she kept looking around her as we walked to the center of the park. "What do you mean?" I said looking at her. "I'm not sure...but I can feel it in the air..." Amara said as the wind gently blew. "Keep your guard up." Amara said as we got to the center of the park "Right." I said as we stopped and looked around. We could both feel it...someone was watching us.

After standing around for a few seconds...*click* "You move and you die." Both are hearts stopped for a spit second as a figure popped out from behind us. He had short brown hair and looked about 5 feet 11 inches.

As we stood there, three more came out from the shadows. One had long white hair, one had long brown hair and one had blonde hair. They walked up and stood by their friend. "We take it you are the ones who took Serena and Darien?" Amara said looking at them with a death glare. "More or less." The man with the short brown hair said.

"Nephrite, check them." He said as he patted us down to see if we had anything. "There good." he said walking back. Amara let out small sigh of relief as he turned and looked back at us.

"So we take it you have the money?" The man with the white hair said. I lifted up the suitcase and showed it them. "Where are Serena and Darien?" Amara said looking at them. They all let out a cocky smile and the one with brown hair snapped her fingers.

After a few seconds, two men walked out with Serena and Darien with their hands tied behind their backs. Both of the men had guns pointed at their heads. I felt so relieved that they were ok. They both had rope tied around their face covering up their mouths.

Serena looked like she was scared shitless and Darien looked clam and composed. "This is how its going to work." The man with white hair said walking over to them. "You will give the suitcase to Zoisite and after she checks it out, we will give them to you." He said putting his hand on Serena's head.

I looked at Amara as she just kept looking at them. I slowly walked over to them. "Don't do anything stupid Samuel." The girl said as their guns were put right on their heads. I handed her the suitcase as she puts it in the guy with the long brown hair hands and opened it up and started to look at the bills.

As she started to look at some of them, I tried to ease the tension. "So you know our names, what about you guys?" I said looking at the three next to me. They all looked at the man with white hair as he looked and me and back at Serena. "You can call me Kunzite." He said looking over to the others. "I'm Jadeite." The guy with the short blonde hair said looking at me. "I'm Zoisite." She said not looking up from the money. "I'm Nephrite." The man said holding the suitcase. "Good, we got their names." I said to myself. "I hope Trista is writing this down." After about 2 more minutes, Zoisite closes the suitcase.

"Ok, it all checks out." She said putting it next to her. "Good, now give us Serena and Darien." Amara said looking at Kunzite. "Now, now, don't need to be rude." He said taking the rope off of Serena. All of a sudden, he picks her up by her hair and punches her right in her stomach. Serena screams in pain as he drops her to the ground.

Instantly, my heart rate went up over 110 and my eyes started to dilate. "What the hell are you doing?!" I yelled at him as Zoisite pulls a gun out and points it at my face. "You see Samuel, our queen really does not like you." Kunzite says as he kicks her on the ground. "Aghh!" Serena yells as she holds her side. My heart rate goes up to 120. "Because of what your Grandfather did to her all those years ago." He says as he kicks her in the face. "AGHH!" *my nose starts to twitch*

"So the queen wants you to feel how she's feels from all those years ago." Kunzite said stepping on her face. "Y-you!" I said as my heart rate went up to 130.

"Can't we just talk about this?!" Amara said looking at them. "Don't we want Serenity?" Amara said looking at me. "Ha! only when you are dead will we have that!" He said as he started to push down harder on her face. As Serena started to cry... "S-stop it..."

"Samuel..." Amara said with a really worried tone in her voice. "S-s-stop I-it..." I said making a fist...

*click* "Try something and see what happens." Zoisite said putting the gun in the back of my head. By now I was on the verge of snapping. It would take only one more push... "I w-won't tell you again..." I said still looking down.

"Or else what?" He said he put more weight on her head. I looked at Amara who looked at me and then at the ground. "...or else THIS!" Amara yelled as flicked her wrist and popped the gun out of her sleeve and pointed it at the man behind Serena at his head. *BANG* ...as soon as I heard that shot...I made my move. Moving as fast as I could, I jumped backwards and slammed into Zoisite knocking her down along with me.

As we both started to fight for the gun, Amara aimed the gun at the 2nd man behind Darien and shot him in his chest. By this point all hell was breaking loose. Zoisite and me where on the ground, fighting for the gun. Kunzite grabs Serena and heads to an old run down building. Nephrite grabs the suitcase and makes a run for a black SUV parked about 50 yards away on the street.

Darien brakes free and looks over at me for a few seconds before turning around and running off into the night. Jadeite tried to run for the SUV too, but Amara was not about to let that happened.

"Where do you think you're going Blondie?!" Amara yelled as she took off after him, tackling him. As Amara was busy with Jadeite, me and Zoisite where in a dead lock for the gun.

The gun discharged as I tried my best to keep it pointed at the ground. After rolling around twice and five more gun shots, I pulled her hand with the gun in it towards the sky and holding on to it with my left hand I elbowed Zoisite in the face with my right elbow. Then I hit her hand with the gun in it with my right hand with my palm knocking it out of her hand and landing a few feet away.

Zoisite then puts me into a headlock. I tried to get up to my feet, trying to pry off her hold on me. I leaned forward and took my right knee and slammed it into her face causing her to losing her grip on me. One more knee to the face and she let go of me holding her face and screaming.

While she was screaming, I spun around to my left and hit her with my right elbow. And then my left one. As I was going for another right elbow hit, Zoisite blocks with her left hand and takes her right hand and goes for a right swing. By now my heart rate was over 160. So I saw her swing coming.

Ducking down, I got back up and back handed her with my right hand. And lifting my right foot I kicked her left knee causing her to fall down on one knee. Lifting my right hand again. I smacked her across her face again. Knocking her out. While still catching my breath, I looked over to my left to see Amara on the ground as Jadeite runs off without the suitcase. Just then, Trista showed up with her men. "Samuel! Are you ok?"

"Trista! look after Zoisite!, I'm going after Kunzite!" I yelled as I took off towards an old run down building. "Samuel wait!" Trista yelled at me. But it was too late. I was already gone...

Wednesday October 26th 1977 12:07 A.M. As I get to the old building, I felt I was almost at my limit. I had to be careful with what happened next. I get to the door and open it slowly. Making sure to catch my blind spots. I started to look around to see if I could see anything that might tell me where Serena might be. "Serena!?..." I yelled while still looking around. But the room was all too quite. I knew I had to save Serena. But that vision...I had to be careful.

As I looked over to the stairs. I saw the door closing. I made a dash for the door. With only Serena on my mind. It was my fault she was taken. And I will save her.

Opening the door, I heard Serena screaming. Looking up, I saw Kunzite dragging Serena to the 5th floor. "Serena!" I yelled as I started to run up the stairs to the 5th floor. 33 seconds later, I got to the door. Running through the door, I saw Kunzite holding Serena by the window. Holding a knife to the neck.

"Well it's come to this." Kunzite said looking at me with a smile on his face. "If you so much as make her bleed..." I said as I started to walk over to him. "Now I wouldn't get to close if I where you." Kunzite said holding the knife closer to Serena's face. I stopped about ten feet from them as I looked at Serena's face to see she was crying. "S-Samuel..." Serena said with a lump in her throat.

"Look, we all have had a rough day. So why do you just hand over Serena and we can call it a day?" I said looking for an opening to his grip. "Ha, ha...it seems what she said about you is true."

"She?...the Queen." I said looking down. "Very good Samuel. She did not think you would find her out so easily."

"Ya well, I had a little help from my friends." I said making a fist. "Why do you want Serena? Why are you kidnapping people?, what are you guys planning on doing?"

"So many questions, so little time." Kunzite said as he started to walk over to the window. "She said now is not the time to tell you who she really is. But if I were you, I wound listen to what they have to say."

"They?" I said thinking to myself. "You don't mean..."

"Ha, so it seems you have already met them." Kunzite said smiling at me. "That little trio has been a pain in my Queens ass for the last few years, always going on about finding him, and only he can end this." Kunzite said as he was now in front of the window. "Well I would love to stay and chat some more but the Queen has some things to do with your friend here." He said as he opened the window.

"You're not going anywhere!" I said as I made a running stance. "Well you can try and stop me, but I would be more worried about other things." Kunzite said looking behind me. "Oh no..." I said to myself as I turned around as fast as I could. And all I saw was Nephrite face...as I felt a sharp pain in my chest... *somewhere in the country side*

...*crash*..." Mina! What was that noise?" A woman's voice said as she came into the kitchen to see a broken glass plate on the floor next to Mina with her hand clutching her chest. "Mina!? What's wrong!?" The woman said as she ran over to her. "Pant, pant, pant."

"Don't move Mina! I'll go call someone!" She said as she ran into the other room picking up the phone. "Pant, S-Sammy..." Mina said as she fell to the floor as her eyes slowly started to close...

*Back with Samuel* "...Ughhgu" I tried to say something as blood started to come out of the hole in my chest. I feel to the floor on my knees as I looked down to see a knife in my chest. I couldn't move. The pain was just too great... "Well it looks like you were not the one to end this war after all." Nephrite said as he leaned down to my face. "I don't understand why she would say you where a threat to us. Her whole life she swore every day and night that she would kill you and get her revenge."

I couldn't do anything as he pushed me to the ground. "Well, any last words Samuel?" He said as he stood up. "...N-n-name..." Was all I could muster up. "...Her name is...Queen Beryl." He said as He started to walk away. "This can't be how it ends...Mina, Lita, Michelle, everyone..." I thought to myself as I started to see nothing but black. "No...Not like this."

"SAMUEL!" A voice screamed as Nephrite looked behind him to see a brunette running at him. "Shit." Was all he could say as he ran to the back room. Lita ran over to me at saw my knife wound. "Oh god no!" Lita yelled as she looked for a pulse. "Samuel please, you can't die!" Lita said holding me in her arms.

"…Samuel…please you have to come back. You have so much to do. I don't know what to do. I need you to help me…this world is to cruel of a place to be left alone in..." Lita said as her tears fell down onto my face. "Samuel…I'm sorry I didn't tell you about me. I'm sorry I lied to you. And if you come back to me…I promise I will never lie or hurt you again." Lita said looking down at me. Lita slowly closed her eyes as she leaned down and kissed me… As Lita was kissing me, a hand grabbed her and tossed her behind him. Lita got up and looked to see Nephrite, just as he swings a hook right at her face, knocking her to the ground.

"Well I have to say my luck is rather good today." He said walking over to her. He picked Lita up and threw her across the room, landing in some wood and tiles. Lita tries to stand up as Nephrite bends over and picks up a 2 by 4 and walks over to Lita. "Don't worry, you won't be away from Samuel for long." He said as he walks closer to Lita…

I open my eyes to see nothing but white… "Samuel…you must not give up."

"Whose there?" I said looking around. "Samuel…you must remember who you are. You can't give up. They need you. You are the one who can..." I kept looking around but saw no one.

Everyone…Lita. They were all counting on me. I made them a promise. And I was not about to let them down! If I didn't fight, then Mina, Lita, Ray, Amy, everyone, I'm going to lose them all!

I open my eyes to the sound of Lita being choked. "Ughuhg!" I said as I leaned my head up. I slowly grabbed the knife in my chest. "L-Lita…" I said looking over to see her arms stop moving. With every ounce of strength in my body I had left, I pulled the knife out and looked at nephrite. "Hey asshole!" I yelled as he turned around. "Get your hands off of my Friend!" I yelled as I threw the knife right at Nephrite as it spun right into his left eye as he fell to the floor in a pool of his own blood.

I lad there looking at Lita…hoping she was ok as I slowly closed my eyes… "SAMUEL!" A voice screamed as three figures ran over to me.

"Oh god no!" Michelle yelled as she looked down at me. Amara got down and looked over me. "He's losing too much blood!" Amara yelled looking back at Michelle and Trista as Amara started to get teary eyed. "Quick Amara, pick him up!' Trista yelled looking around. She looked over to her right and saw Lita laying down on the floor next to Nephrite.

"Who is that?" Trista said. Michelle and Amara both looked over to see Lita laying there. They both got big eyed. "Lita!?" they both said. "Who is Lita?" Trista said looking at them. "Lita is a friend of Samuel." Amara said. "Quick, Trista, go pick her up and follow us!" Amara yelled as they started to head for the stairs.

Trista ran over and picked Lita up and followed Amara and Michelle down the stairs and out of the building. They ran to Amaras car and got in. Trista got in the front with Lita and Michelle got in the back while Amara handed me to her. Amara closes the door and starts the car.

"Where are we going!?" Trista yells. We need to go to the hospital!" Michelle yells from the back. "We can't! that's going to be the first place there going to look for him!"

"Well where are we going to go!? Samuel is losing too much blood!" Michelle yelled while tears where falling down her face. "I know where to go!" Amara yelled pulling out and flooring down the street.

"Michelle, keep pressure on his chest!" Amara yelled. "I'm trying!" Michelle yelled back as blood was still pouring out of my chest. "How is Lita doing Trista?" Amara said looking to her right. "She's out but she is fine." Trista said looking down at her. "She has a few cuts, but she will live."

"OK, hang on where almost there!" Amara yelled speeding past red light after red light.

Pulling up to a blue house, Trista ran over to Michelle and grabbed me as Amara ran for the front door. *knock, knock, knock* as Amara was banging on the door at this point, Trista ran over with Lita in her arms with Michelle right behind her with me in her arms. *Knock, knock, knock*

"I'm coming!" A voice said rather sleepy. The door opens to Amy in her night gown rubbing her eyes. "Do you know what ti-oh my god!" Amy yelled putting her hands in front of her mouth.

"I'm sorry about this Amy, but we need your help right now!" Amara said walking into the house. "What on earth happened!?" Amy said freckling out. "I will tell you later, but please, help Samuel, he's losing too much blood!" Amara said looking at Amy. Amy looked down at me for a second and looked back at Amara. "OK, put him on the kitchen table." Amy said running into the kitchen.

Michelle sat me on the table as she kept holding my chest. "Trista, go into the bathroom and get me a bowl of warm water and a towel." Amy said pulling out some Ibuprofen out of some cupboards. "OK!" Trista said. Trista put Lita down on the couch in the living room and ran for the bathroom. "Michelle, put your hand here and don't move it!" Amy said putting a needle on the end of the shot. "Right." Michelle said putting her hand on my chest. "I got it!" Trista said running out of the bathroom with a bowl and towel. "OK, put it right here." Amy said sticking the needle in my arm. And for the next 40 minutes Amy, Amara, Michelle and Trista all fought to keep me alive…

Wednesday October 26th 1977 9:43 A.M. A Sleeping brunette Sleep's softly on the couch as a little blackbird chirps outside the window. "Uhmm…" Lita slowly comes to as she looks around to see where she was. The events of last night rush through her head as Lita stands up and starts to worry about where I was. "Morning Lita." A voice said coming for the hallway.

Lita looks around to see Amara standing by the stairs, holding a cup of coffee. "Amara? Where am I? Where's Samuel!?" Lita said looking around. "Samuel's fine…for now." Amara said looking down at her coffee cub. "What do you mean? Lita said walking over to her. "…" Amara looked up and out the window as she started to tell Lita of what happened last night… *8 minutes later*

"I see…" Lita said looking down. "The only thing we can do now is wait…" Amara said walking back into the kitchen. "Where is he?" Amara turned around and faced her. "He's up in Amy's room sleeping…."

"Oh ok, thank you." Lita said walking up the stairs to Amy's bedroom. *knock, knock* "Come in." A clam voice said.

Lita opens the door to Michelle sitting at the end of the bed looking at me. "Hey Michelle." Lita said walking in and closing the door. "Hey Lita, how are you feeling?" Michelle said looking up at her. "I'm fine. How is Samuel?" Lita said walking over to me. "He's still sleep…we don't know if he will wake up." Michelle said looking down. "…" Lita said nothing as she walked over to me and put her hand on my head. It was cold to the touch.

"Lita?" Michelle said looking up at her. "Ya?" Lita said looking at Michelle. "…What where you doing at the building last night?" It went quite for a few minutes. "…I knew Samuel was going to be in trouble, so I followed him to the building." Lita said not looking up. Michelle kept looking at Lita, trying to read her mind.

"Who are you really?" Michelle said standing up. Lita looked away from Michelle. Not knowing what to say. "I would like to know that too." A voice said coming from the hallway. Amara walked into the room with her hands in her pockets. "It's clear to me that there's more to you then meets the eye Lita…" Amara said walking into the room. "…"

Lita said nothing as she looked down at me. "I think it's about time you told us who you really are..." Amara said folding her arms. Lita didn't say anything for a little while. "…I'm sorry that I got you all involved in this, but I can't tell you just yet." Lita said looking at Amara. "…Fine, I think it's about time you left Lita." Amara said looking away. "…"

Lita said nothing as she looked at me one more time and walked out the door and downstairs. "We need to keep are eyes on Lita for a while." Amara said looking out the window to see Lita walking down the street. "I know…but I don't think she's bad." Michelle said looking up at Amara. "I know…but we don't need Samuel to get involved in anything more for a while." Amara said looking back at Michelle. "Ok…Where's Trista?" Michelle said.

"She's down at the station giving a report about the shootout that happened last night at the park." Amara said leaning against the wall. "Dam it!' Amara said slamming her fist against the wall. "All that trouble last night and for what? We didn't even get them back…" Amara said closing her eyes. Michelle said nothing as she just looked at Amara. "What do we do now? Michelle said standing up. "We can't do anything until Samuel wakes up." Amara said walking over to the door. "I'm going to go check up on some things. You stay here and watch over Samuel Michelle." Amara said walking down the stairs. "I will be back later, there's a gun under the bed if something happens…" Amara said looking up the stairs at Michelle.

Michelle gives a slow nod at the top of the stairs as Amara walks out the door… *somewhere deep inside Chicago…* The sounds of footsteps ring through a hallway. *knock knock* "You may enter." A voice said rather annoyed. Three figures walk in to the sight of a woman sitting in a chair.

"Queen Beryl, We have returned from the park." Kunzite said as all three of them bowed. "And here I thought you where being held in jail." Beryl said not turning around. "We used our men on the inside to let us out, and we came strait here with out report." Kunzite said. "Where is nephrite?" Beryl said tapping her nails. "…Nephrite has been killed." Kunzite said looking down at the ground. "You imbeciles!" Beryl yelled. "What did I tell you!?" She yelled standing up and walking over to them.

"Not only did I tell you to bring more men, but you let your guard down around Samuel!" Beryl yelled looking down at them. "But not all is lost Miss Beryl, we have some good news." Kunzite said standing up. "And what would that be?" Beryl said rather annoyed.

"Samuel was severely injured by nephrite before he killed him, he's in a coma even as we speak." Jadeite and Zoisite stand up as Beryl walks back over to her chair and sits back down. "I have waited many years for this…and I will not let anything get in my way." Beryl said turning around in her chair. "Don't mess up this time, while Samuel is out of the picture, continue with the plan, Zoisite!"

"Yes queen Beryl?"

"You get the last of the drills in place, Jadeite!"

"Yes ma'am?"

"You get the last of are men ready."

"Right away Beryl." *Jadeite and Zoisite leave* "And what of me Queen Beryl?"

"Stand by in the city, I have a feeling somethings going to happen..."

"Yes Miss Beryl." Kunzite said walking out of the room. Beryl looked over the screens as she thought to herself on how to get rid of me before the day of her plan comes too...

Wednesday October 26th 1977 4:10 P.M. "Samuel…wake up Samuel…they need you, there coming for them…"

"Ughgug…" I said as my eyes slowly opened. Everything was a blur. I could not move and the noise was fuzzy.

Looking over to my Left, I saw Michelle sleeping in a chair against the wall. *I smile* after waiting a few minutes for my vision to cheer up, I started to moved my head around. I looked at Michelle who heard me moving as her eyes started to open. "Hmm…Samuel?" Michelle said looking at me like she was dreaming. "H-hey Michelle…" I said really weak.

"S-Samuel…" Michelle said standing up and walking over to me. Michelle got to the bed as tears fell down her face. "Samuel…" Michelle said as she sat on the bad and laid on my chest. "Michelle?" I said Blushing a little bit. "I'm sorry…I'm just so happy." Michelle said pulling away revealing her face with a smile on it while wiping away the tears. "I was so worried…I thought I would not get to see you again…" Michelle said holding my hand. "It's ok Michelle…your seeing me now." I said smiling at Michelle.

"Where is everybody?" I said looking around. "Where am I?" I said looking at Michelle. "It's a long story…" Michelle said as she grabbed my hand and started to tell me of that night… *6 minutes later…*

I laid my head on Amy's pillow as I thought about I got her intertwined in all of this. "When will Amy be home?"

"She said around 5."

"And what about Amara?"

"She said she will be back later." Michelle said drying her eyes. "You can stop crying Michelle." I said smiling at her. "I know…it's just…" *Michelle looks down* "You mean a lot to me… after everything we have been through the last few years… Last night as I was falling asleep, I came to the conclusion that…" Michelle says as she lays her chest on tops of me. "M-Michelle?" I said blushing as Michelle puts her lips to my ear. "I love you Samuel." My eyes get big as Michelle pulls away and looks me in my eyes.

"Samuel…" Michelle puts her hand on my check. "M-Michelle…" I said not really knowing what to do. Michelle starts moving her face forward towards mine. "Samuel…" Michelle said looking at me with her emerald eyes as she got closer to my face. Michelle was just 2 inches from my face when the door swings open.

"Hey Michelle I'm back." Amara said holding a bag of food. Michelle pulls away as fast as she could blushing bright red and looking away from Amara so she could not see. Amara was too surprised by me being awake to see that Michelle was blushing.

"Samuel!?" Amara said walking over to me. H-hey Amara…" I said weak. "How are you feeling?" Amara said putting her hand on my forehead. "Sore…and in a lot of pain." I said looking up to the ceiling. Visions of Serena ran through my mind. "I lost her again…" I said with my eyes closed. Amara looked away thinking to herself. "You did everything you could last night Samuel." Amara said looking down at me. "N-no I didn't, I'm n-not done yet. I can still save h-her." I said as I tried to lean up.

"Samuel, no." Michelle said grabbing me and laying me down. "You're not doing anything for a few days." Amara said looking at me. "But Serena…" I said fighting the pain in my side. "I'm sorry Samuel. But the only thing we can do now is wait…" Michelle said looking down at the bed.

"So what now?" Amara Said looking at me. "We lay low for a few days, we will see how this plays out." I said looking up at the ceiling. "Ok, I will go work with Trista for a few days, whatever they're going to do, they're going to have to do it soon." Amara said walking out the door.

"As soon as you get better Samuel, we can go look for Serena," Michelle said smiling at me. "Ok…" I said thinking to myself. I laid my head down as I start to think of what I was going to do as I fell asleep hoping I was going to be better soon...
