Chapter 14 – On the Moon
Serena carefully made her way to the secret passage, not spotting much security, to her immense surprise. She couldn't recall if Alex knew about the tunnel, but decided to risk it anyway. She tried the door, "Security field. Of course." As she sat there, hiding behind a hedge, she tried to figure out how to disable the shield. "Just disappear," she said under her breath, "just let down your guard for me to find Jon." She started when she heard a light buzzing appear out of nowhere, but then to her utter amazement, it grew louder and the force field made a brief pop, glowed bright blue, and then disappeared. Startled, Serena looked around and then scrambled to try the door. It was open!

Darien, Ami and Lita felt like they were being tossed around in a wild storm on the sea. They held on tightly to each other's hands and tried to keep silent lest it give them away when they got to their destination. With a light whrrr they landed gently in a dark forest. They immediately went on the alert, and scanned the area surrounding them for enemies. When they felt that they were safe, they crouched together and began to hatch a plan.

Rini and Luna arrived at Serena's house to find the girls trying to snap Ben out of whatever he was in. Although seeing Rini proved to do the trick.
"Ok…" Ben closed his eyes and sighed deeply. "What. In the hell. Is. Going. On?"
Rini could tell already that she didn't like this guy, and to be honest, Chelsea, Meg and Kate were beginning to become a tad irritated with him as well.
"Look Ben, I'm sorry, but this is pretty crazy, but we're talking about Serena here. We always knew there was something huge she wasn't telling us. Something she was running from. But she is still Serena." Chelsea said.
"Yes, the monsters and magic if that's what it is, and ghosts and…children…are shocking and scary and crazy but when you think about it, it kinda makes sense," Meg added.
Ben glared at the two of them, and then turned to the small black cat. "Alright…would you mind…um…Luna...telling us what is going on. Starting at the beginning. Please?"

As Serena cautiously followed the passage, she wondered, 'Did I open that shield? That doesn't make any sense, I didn't do anything.' But all day, weird things had been happening. She had transformed differently, was able to do so without going through the process, had new weapons, and even the crystal felt changed. 'Do I have the power to make things happen by thinking them?' That might explain the way she transformed when Alex was holding her, because her intent had been to bluff him and feign then escape. She had been wishing she was still in uniform, but hadn't actively intended to. 'This is something to contemplate' she thought, and she stealthily snuck down the tunnel as it wove its way around the castle.

"I think we should stick together, keep low and scope the area as we go. Spot and stop any enemies we see," Jupiter said.
"Alright," Mercury agreed, and the three crept to the edge of the forest.
"I remember where we are," Darien said. "We can see the grounds from that hill," he motioned off to their right, "from there we will know what we are up against."
They reached the hill just about the same time Serena was closing the door of the secret passage into the castle. They saw maybe a handful of guards, and from their spot, saw an accessible path to the castle that would take them between the guards, making a fight unlikely. They stealthily worked their way across the expanse to the north wall.
"Now what?" Lita asked.
"Things are coming back to me…I remember a door…I used to meet Serena there. Alex might not know about it. We could try that," Darien replied.
"Better than my idea," said Lita. "Let's go."
They made their way along the wall of the castle, until Darien recognized where they were. "This is it," he whispered, and then tried the door. It opened without must hesitation. "Perfect," he said, grinning, and the three slipped into the castle.
