Chapter Nine
Later that night, when everyone had finally decided that they should all go to bed, Serena started to clean up the cups and plates from the tea and cookies as she watched everyone leave. "Do you need any help?" Mina stopped to ask. Serena smiled and shook her head. "No, but thanks for asking. I'm fine." Mina smiled. "All right." She headed out the door and then stopped, peeping her head back in. "You really do love him, don't you Serena?" Serena stopped what she was doing and sighed. "He's not really bad, Mina. So many of us have two sides, you know. And we never stop to think that maybe, just maybe, the right person can bring out the right side." Mina was astonished at Serena's philosophical thought. "Hey, you feeling all right?" Serena laughed. "Yeah, I'm all right." "You know what I think?" Mina said, smiling a little. "I think that maybe Diamond is bringing out the smart side in you." "Do you really?" "Serena, you just said something that's totally out there coming from your mouth," Mina explained. "I think that Diamond actually makes you feel smart." Serena smiled. "I think you might be right." She went back to picking up dishes. "Good night, Mina." Mina smiled and left the room. "'Night!" she called over her shoulder. Serena smiled and hummed quietly as she stacked three plates on top of each other. She turned to pick up a teacup, but tripped on something in the carpet, knocking herself into the table that she'd set the plates on. Although she didn't hit the table all that hard, the plates fell, one of them breaking, and she fell with them, her neck landing directly on a large, sharp piece of the glass. ~*~ ~*~ Diamond heard the glass break from the sitting room below the library and sat up straight. He waited for a moment, then heard Serena groan, then heard a soft thump on the floor. "No," he whispered. He jumped up and ran to the library. ~*~ ~*~ Serena saw spots. Tons of them. Yellow, red, shiny purple, and even some black ones. They swam before her eyes. She looked down at her chest and saw red. Lots of red. Was that blood? Was she bleeding? Slowly, she reached down to touch the red, and felt something sticking out of her neck. Glass? No, no, she hadn't been near any glass. Yes, yes she had, she was carrying plates, that was it. She remembered. She was picking up the plates and the carpet ... the carpet ... the carpet... ~*~ ~*~ "Serena," Diamond coaxed. "Serena, wake up. Come on. Please. Wake up, Serena." He watched her intently as he replaced the now blood-soiled rag that he'd put on her wound with a newly clean one. "Serena, sweetheart, please, please wake up." Ami and Sapphire watched from behind Diamond, both in awe and anxiety, waiting to see what would happen. "Sapphire, I think she needs a doctor," Ami whispered into Sapphire's ear. "She might be dying." Diamond glared at Ami, tears in his eyes. "Don't you dare say that. She's not dying." He looked back at Serena and tried once more to wake her. Sapphire looked at Ami in uncertainty. "Go get Rae," he said. "Or Lita or Mina or someone who'll know what to do." Ami nodded and ran to find Rae. Sapphire sat down next to his brother and checked Serena's pulse. "Diamond," he whispered. "She's got no pulse. I'm sorry Diamond." Diamond shook his head. "No, damn it! I won't let her go. She's too young to die. I won't let her die." "Brother, please," Sapphire said gently. "I know your upset but she's already dead. She isn't breathing, has no pulse. You can't bring her back. Not even the dark crystal can bring her back now." "Crystal..." Diamond thought. His face seemed to dawn in realization. "Her crystal! Where's her crystal?" Sapphire's face mirrored his surprise. "Probably on her bedside table, I'd imagine, if she isn't wearing it right now." Diamond searched Serena's bloody neck for a chain and was relieved to find her Sliver Imperial Crystal hanging on the end of it. "Leave, Sapphire," he said softly. "But Diamond-" "Now." Sapphire nodded hesitantly and left, stopping Ami and Rae from coming into the library. He closed the door behind him. Diamond looked at Serena. "Look," he said angrily, holding the delicate crystal in his hand. "I don't know how this stupid thing works, but it's supposed to protect you, damn it. Only you can work this crystal, and even though you're dead right now, somehow I know you can hear me. Please, Serena, make it work." He looked at the crystal and then back at Serena's face. "Please," he whispered. Far off, it seemed, he heard Serena's voice, like a whisper. It won't work near the dark crystal. You know that. "Damn it!" he exclaimed. "There's no place near enough to be far enough from the dark crystal!" Destroy it. Her voice said. It's evil. You aren't. "I can't," he whispered. "It's my past, my future." It's nothing. Destroy it, or you destroy me. Diamond stood and set Serena on the couch, near the fireplace. He slowly turned and headed for the door, casting one final look at Serena before he exited. "If this doesn't work," he said angrily, "if this doesn't work, I swear I'll kill myself and Sapphire and every single one of your friends. I swear that I will. And you know I will." He heard a distant giggles. No, you won't. ~*~ ~*~ "Wiseman!" Diamond yelled, standing in front of his scrying pond. "Show yourself!" Wiseman appeared and laughed. "You believe her, don't you Prince?" Diamond frowned and nodded. "I do." He looked at his far wall and walked over to it, picking up his father's battle sword. "You won't," Wiseman said matter-of-factly. Diamond said nothing, only walked over to the dark crystal and cut it in half. "No!" Wiseman screeched. "You're killing yourself, you fool!" "I'm killing you," Diamond said steadily, then cut the crystal again. Again. Again, until all that was left were tiny shards. With the shards, he aimed an energy beam, and blew them away so that they no longer existed. Not one part. Diamond stalked out of the scrying room and back into the library where Serena lay. He sat down in front of her. "Make it work, damn it." Sapphire and the other scouts noticed Diamond's return and they followed him when he walked into the library. Again, he heard the giggles. I am. Watch. Diamond sighed and watched as Serena's chest began to slowly rise, then fall. Her eyes opened and she looked around, then felt her neck, which had healed completely. She looked at Diamond. The Negamoon symbol that had once been on his forehead was gone without a trace. He had healed himself. "Diamond," Serena whispered. "Go look in a mirror." Diamond frowned as Sapphire handed him a small mirror. He gazed into it in amazement. "What the hell does that mean?" he asked grumpily. Serena laughed and threw her arms around Diamond's neck. "It means that you and Sapphire are welcome back on Earth." Diamond had just then realized that Sapphire's symbol was gone, too. He looked at Serena in confusion. "Does that make us 'good guys' now?" he asked sarcastically. Serena was laughing when she kissed him, and close to crying when she pulled away. "Yeah," she answered. "You're 'good guys' now. You know what that means?" Diamond smiled. "That means that I get you instead of Darien?" he guessed. The Scouts all laughed. "You bet," Serena answered merrily. She looked at everyone as she sat up. "Let's all go home."
END!!!
Was it a good ending? I wasn't too sure about the whole glass thing, if its believeable, I tried to describe it as best as I could, that way its understandable. But did you like it? Im happy to say its mine actually. Im quite proud of myself, lol. What do you think of a sequel? Like Diamond and Serena have a son/daughter and he/shes growing up on earth??? If you like the idea or have any to share with me, either Email me or put it in a review. I have a chapter of the sequel that's planned but if I get a better idea then ill change it. Okay? Ill post the epilogue/beginning of the sequel in a few days, that way people have time to read this. Hope you guys enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it! Thanks for it all!!!
