After a few days of recovering in the hospital, Darien was free to return home. When Darien got home he found that the house had been thrashed. Beryl must have gone on a rampage when I left. He walked around his place as if he was in a trance. His feet almost dragged on the ground as he stared around in a zombie state. He was empty inside and walked around in hopes to find that that could make him whole again. It was as if he was waiting for Serena to pop around the corner, but of course she never did. How could this have happened? Serena, I'm nothing without you. I have to find her. After finally finding himself and coming back down to earth, he decided to go and find her. He freshened up and got ready to meet her. He prayed he would find her as he quickly left.
Darien sprinted out of his car almost before he fully stopped when he arrived at the stables. His heart sank when he found that Serena was not there. Where else could she be? He had no idea where she lived or anything. Serenity and Endymion were not there either so he began to fear that she had left for good. No, it can't be. Please don't let that be true.
Darien began to look frantically for her, calling her name and running around like a wild man desperately trying to find her. He was about to give up when he thought he should check the place that they had first spent in each other's arms; the place by the stream. He ran into that direction and stopped when he got closer when he thought he heard the sound of horses. He walked up slowly, trying to control his breathing so he could hear better. His heart rose a little when he saw Serenity and Endymion lying next to each other, but he did not see Serena. He walked up and scanned everywhere, but didn't see her. Serenity and Endymion gave him a friendly neigh as he approached, but they both remained on the ground. Could she have let them go free?
