Moonxxprincessxx:Oh no! :(
I never thought her sleeping around was that bad. I don't think anybody should jump to her going right back to the way it was before. Just by her appearance alone was a dead give away that something bad has/is happening to her.
Serena didn't deny it, and Serena gave no impression that it was anything but a one night stand. Mina was blinded by rage. She's also trying to look out for the company she works for. That's why she was so mad. She has no reason to think that Ken would come back to do all this.

Guest: Great job take you time with this story don't be in a rush
I won't deny it. That is one of my weak points in writing. I tend to rush through sometimes and I'm not very descriptive sometimes. I'm trying to work on that, believe me.

Chapter Fourteen:
Secrets Revealed
"Andrew, I can't do this anymore."
"Whoa, what happened."
"I went to Serena's last night. She wouldn't answer and I was worried, so I went in because the door was unlocked. I heard noises upstairs and opened a door to find a man fucking Serena."
"Seriouisly? Did you say anything."
"Like what?"
"True. Mina went to see her yesterday at work. She said Serena looked like she hasn't slept in days."
"Probably too busy having sex." Darien muttered. "You know I'm not one to judge, but how could she do that? After I told her how I felt? After she found her daughter? It honestly doesn't make sense."
"Well hopefully Mina can get through to her."
"Andrew, Darien! You guys have to see this!" She said placing the laptop on the table in front of them. She opened a file and a video began to play. It was right outside of Serena's office. "It was her idea to get microphones installed as well as just cameras." She said as the video began playing.
The three watched the exchange between the man in blue jeans and Katrina. Mina paused it when there was a clear view of the man's face.
"Who is that?" Andrew asked.
"Serena's stepfather."
Darien just stared at the screen in shock.
"That's not all." She continued playing the video.
Darien continued to look at the screen, not believing what he was seeing. The door to the office closed and Mina switched to a different file. He watched as Serena started freaking out. His fist clenched as he saw the man grab Serena.
"We can't make out what he's saying though."
"It was something to scare her." Darien muttered.
"What did she mean by her one comment about thinking he got what he wanted?" Andrew asked.
"No." Darien whispered.
"And I just yelled at her." Mina said.
"He raped her again?" Darien said in disbelief. He studied the man in the picture on the screen. "Oh my God."
"What?" Mina asked.
"That's the man that was at her place last night."
"WHAT!?"
"I went to see if she was alright. When she didn't answer, I turned the knob. It was unlocked and I was worried so I went in. I heard noises upstairs and looked inside. There was a man who was having sex with Serena. I'm pretty sure it's him."
"I have to see her."
"What are you going to do? Obviousily he is scaring her." Andrew pointed out.
"Probably threatening her." Darien added
"We could call the cops."
"With what proof?" Darien asked. "I think I saw someone in the dark having sex, but the person wasn't saying no."
"Well I can't just stand by and let my best friend be raped."
Darien grabbed his phone and dialed a number. "Serena, it's Darien. I need you to come over. Selena's not feeling well and she's asking for you. She'd really appreciate it if you could come over." He then hung up.
One minute later, his phone buzzed.
-I'm on my way.
"We need to get to my house."
"Good idea!" Mina said before all headed out the door.
…
Darien opened the door to reveal a tired looking Serena. "You look horrible."
"Where's Selena? In her room?" She asked before walking into the house.
"At school." He responded before closing the door
"You said-"
"We know what's going on Serena." Mina spoke up.
"W-what are you talking about." She asked, brushing some hair from her face.
"Why are you wearing sun glasses?" Andrew asked.
"Headach, the sun is irritating my eyes. If Sele isn't sick, I'll be going. I have work to do."
"Serena, take off the sun glasses." Darien said.
"No."
Darien walked towards her and took them off himself. "He hit you!?" He asked, completely enraged.
"It's nothing."
"Serena, I won't let this continue to happen. You look like you haven't slept in days!" Mina shouted.
"I haven't! You guys don't understand. I can't sleep in my bed, he's dirtied that. I'm afraid to sleep at night."
"Then tell the cops." Mina offered.
"If I tell anyone he will come after you, then after Selena, and I will NOT put her in danger."
"That's why you haven't come over." Darien stated.
Serena just nodded, tears running down her face. She jumped when her phone buzzed.
-I feel like some lunch time fun. Be at your place in 10.
Serena started crying as Darien took the phone from her. He read the text, his anger rising. "I won't let you go."
"NO! He'll hurt Selena. I won't let her go through what I had to go through!" She said, moving for the door.
Darien grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. "We're calling the cops." He said as he hugged her tightly.
She shook her head into his chest. "If I'm not there, he will go to Sele's school, and look for Mina. I'm not putting others in danger."
"And I won't put you in danger." Darien said as Mina dialed 911.
…
"Serena, where are you?" Ken asked as he walked into the house.
"In the kitchen. I'm making some lunch." Serena answered tiredly. "I haven't eaten all day. Would you mind?" She asked, afraid of his answer.
"Well I haven't eaten anything either, but I'd much rather just have desert."
"Please Ken. I'm so hungry."
"Bitch, thought we had an agreement."
"Please, I just really don't feel well today." She begged.
"I don't fucking care!" He yelled. "Come on!" He ordered, pulling her towards the door.
"POLICE!"
Ken quickly pulled Serena in front of him and grabbed a knife from his pocket and held it to her throat.
"Let her go! You have no where to run." One of the officers ordered.
"Or what, you'll shoot me? You'll have to go through the innocent one first."
"Ken, y-your squeezing too tight." Serena gasped as his hold across her stomach tightened. She started coughing.
"I want a free get away. No one follows me." He said as he started walking towads the back door.
Serena's breaths were grown shorter. She started kicking her feet. One of her kicks got Ken in the leg, making him stumble. He threw the blonde to the side before running out of the back door.
…
"It's killing me not knowing what's going on." Mina sighed.
"I hope shes okay." Darien sighed.
"Wait, looks like they have him." Mina noticed as the cops brought out a male in handcuffs.
"Where's Serena though?" Darien asked. He then noticed someone being wheeled out on a stretcher. "God no. What did he do?" He yelled running towards the ambulance. "What happened?"
"We need ot get her to a hospital sir."
"Which one?"
"Mercy."
Without a word, Darien ran to his car as Mina and Andrew got in, he started the engine and sped away.
Darien pulled out his phone. "Raye, there's an emergency. Can you pick up Selena after she gets out of school?" Dairn aked into his phone.
"Sure. What's up?"
"A friend is in the hospital, I need to be there."
"Oh, your new crush?" She laughed.
"Not the time Raye."
"Right, you said hospital. I'll get her after."
"I'll call you as soon as I can. Thanks."
"Sure."
Within minutes, they were at the hospital asking 100 questions.
"You guys are here for Tsukino?" A doctor asked.
"Yes. I'm her cousin." Mina announced.
"How is she?"
"Let's talk over here." He said, pulling them from the busy waiting room. "She's stable, but in a coma. The man holding her hostage deprived her of air a bit too long, and she has a bad abrasion on the back of her head."
"How?" Andrew asked.
"She either fell or was pushed into a hard object. The corner of a cabnit or table or something similar. She is severly dehydrated and exhausted."
Mina was in Andrews arms, crying into his chest.
"Will she be okay?" Darien asked, his voice emotionless.
"We don't know. We are giving her fluids. Unfortionatly we can only wait and see." He said as his beeper went off. "If you'll excuse me, I have another trauma."
"Can we see her?" Mina asked, her voice shaky.
"Right through those doors." He said pointing to a set of doors before rushing away.
The three walked into the room to see tubes and machines around the fragile looking blonde.
"I knew it was a mistake sending her back there." Darien growled.
"She wouldn't take no for an answer. Plus we couldn't hold him off long enough for the cops to get there." Mina said, placing a hand on his arm. "She'll make it out of this Darien."
He just nodded. "She has to. For Selena."
