Welcoming chapter 14 to the story...Now we are introduced to the stalker's point of view. How will Serena handle this new information?

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

CHAPTER 14: DANGER AT HOME

He stood in the center of her room looking at her different possessions. A few clothes strewn on the floor, perhaps the result of a quick change. Her laptop sitting open, but not on, on the desk. She had pictures of her friends, the sailor scouts. Those pesky sailor scouts. He had fought them before. They might not have been the ones to had killed him, but in the end if it wasn't for them, plans would have flourished and he wouldn't have had needed to be reincarnated into this filthy body, even with its generous ability. He found the rose he had given Serena in the garbage. He picked it up and looked at the one side of the rose and how its petals started folding and dying. Just like what he was going to make her do. He had plans for her. He set the rose on her desk to show Serena that he was in her room again. His eyes flicked to a picture of her and Rini. He took it out of the frame and pocket. As he went to turn to leave his eyes fell on a box sticking out from underneath her bed. He sat down on the soft comforter and pulled the box out and open. Inside were folders on top of folders. He pulled the top one out and opened it. He smirked and almost laughed outloud. He quickly shut his mouth and scanned the papers. This file consisted of the scouts battle with Queen Beryl, the next about Allan and Anne, and one after another showing more enemies and then lastly files on the scouts. He felt giddy. He closed the box up and then froze. He heard a car pulling up and he stepped to the window with the box still in his hands. He looked down and seen Logan and Serena pull into the garage and in the backseat Rini was beaming that big ol' smile. He smiled even more and with a blink of his eyes he disappeared from Serena's room with the box and her picture.

Serena tried keeping her eyes from letting on to her fear. She didn't need to alarm Rini, even though Rini was a sailor scout as well. She was thankful the young girl could not sense her feeling tense, Logan on the other hand sensed her change. Logan handed the box of fries to Rini and Rini told them she was going to go share with Kitty and Rogue. Serena smiled and told her she would meet her in a few minutes. Rini disappeared into the house.

"Serena what's wrong?" Logan's voice no longer gentle. It was stern and demanding. She looked up at him and then was hit by another realization. She was starting to get a headache. A pain that came from where she was struck earlier. She rubbed the spot and Logan moved her hand placed pressure with his own and almost instantly the headache started to relieve itself. "Stop panicking and you wont get these headaches. We still are watching to make sure there was no damage. Now Serena tell me what is wrong."

"I know who the stalker is. It's someone from my past. I didn't realize it was him because he doesn't look like what he used to. He's different and I just realized that he was in my room where I actually brought the box of information from all the battles and information on the scouts. I decided to not keep it in the classroom until I gave it a once over. I just hope he doesn't find it. He could then access our weaknesses and learn to destroy us."

"Then let's go and make sure it's still in your room and on the way up you can tell me who this person is." Serena nodded and led the way.

She stepped into her room and immediately reached under her bed for the box and came back empty handed. She cursed under her breath and then sat down on the bed and tried to think. Maybe she had moved it. She got up and looked around her room to think of another place she could have stuffed the box. Her eyes fell on her desk. The rose and empty picture frame stood out like a sore thumb. She froze. He was definitely in her room.

"He was back in here. We need to find him." Logan nodded and he walked out of the room to find some of the other students to explain who they were looking for. Serena turned and left a few minutes later so she could collect her composure. She went to find Rogue and Kitty. She needed to make sure Rini would stay in their company.

Rogue and Kitty were sitting in Kitty's room laughing over the magazines they were flipping through. Serena heard the laughs as she was passing the door and stepped in. Rogue looked up and smiled at her.

"Hi Serena. How are you?" said Rogue. Serena jumped right to the point.

"Is Rini in here?" Serena scanned the room. "Has she been in here at all?" Kitty and Rogue looked confused and both shook their heads. Serena held on tight to the doorknob. Her knuckles turning white.

"Is everything alright?" Rogue stood up and went to steady her teacher. Serena nodded her head and said she was fine.

"We have a problem and we need to find Rini. If you two find her, please don't let her out of your sight. Take her to the game room and keep her distracted from anything that could be wrong. Logan and I have something to take care of." She went to turn to leave.

"Serena, we can help you." exclaimed Kitty, both girls in tow of the woman. Serena kept on walking as she spoke to them.

"Yes, you can, by finding my daughter and making sure she is safe. Please just do that for me. Either Logan or I will come get you once we figure out more." The two girls agreed and went off in search of Rini and Serena headed straight for her classroom.

Logan and Serena crossed paths just before she walked into her classroom. She had been deep in her thoughts and was startled to see him round the corner. She jumped back and then quickly caught herself.

"None of the other students have seen him in a few hours. I've got Bobby and Kurt checking the grounds. Jean and Scott are checking the security cameras to see if they can find him." Serena nodded in understanding.

"Rini wasn't with Rogue and Kitty. I sent them to find her and then keep her in the game room." She informed him. She walked into her classroom and over to her desk where she pulled out a small compact mirror. Logan watched as she spoke into it and gave a cocked eyebrow. She turned so he could make sense of what she was doing. Static like a tv was where a mirror should have been.

"Trista, are you there?" She asked again. Moments later a woman with long, dark hair appeared. She said hello to Serena and right away Serena went straight to business.

"No Serena, I didn't know he was back, he must have slipped through the cracks. Reincarnation is a slippery business. Are you sure it's even him?" Serena heard Trista clicking away on some computer keys. "I'm not picking up any traces of him. Maybe it's not who you think it is."

"I'm positive it's him Trista."

"I'll continue looking Serena, I'll keep you informed on what I-" Trista was cut short by a loud beeping noise and Serena watched as her face went from shock to fear.

"Trista what is it?" Serena tried not to panic.

"It's him. The crystal, it's-" The communicator cut out and Trista's sentence was lost. The power cut out in the school and Logan cursed under his breath. Serena started praying that her scouts were there. She was unsure if she could face an unknown enemy on her own. She wanted to know Trista was going to say. She needed to find Rini. Logan pulled Serena after him.

"We need to get the students to the danger room. If there is any danger on school grounds, underneath it is the safest place to be." Serena followed him but pulled her hand a way from his.

"I'm not going anywhere with out my daughter."

He messed with the controls of the danger room. He already used his energy to cut the power from the school. He wanted to get Serena down to the danger room. He wanted to see the fear in her eyes when she seen her daughter trapped between the lasers and saw machines. It was pure luck that he had run across Rini running into the school alone. She had looked up at him and smiled. It was easy from there to lead her away. Now he was taking the next step into making Serena his. His plan to become king was coming along. Once everything was in place Serena would have an accident, he'd assume control of everything. The scouts, the crystal, the planet and the moon. He laughed to himself as his thoughts formed.

Rini looked up from her laser prison up at the control area. Her box of fries still in her hands. She slipped her hand slowly into her pocket and felt for her transformation broach. The one thing she was taught was to not go anywhere without it. Well she thanked the goddess that she listened to that rule. She did not panic as the lunatic clicked away on the keys and paid her no attention. She supposed that was because she had lasers and saws pointed at her from all angles.

To her relief she could hear voices coming from down the hall. The distinct wail of Serena over all of them.

I think I have my touch back for this story, I almost lost it but then sat and changed a few things and found my muse for it again. Three more chapters to go. What will Serena do about this new enemy? What will happen to Rini?
