Love of a Lifetime Introduction By: Sailor Destiny

It was a clear starry night on June 3, 1979. A mother was reading a story to her two daughters. "And so the Prince and Princess lived happily ever after." The mother said and closed the book. Her name was Serenity. "Mommy read us another story." Said one of the young girls. "No Little Serenity, it's time for you and Mina to go to sleep." Serenity said to the younger Serenity. "But mommy!" Chimed the Mina. Mina and Little Serenity were identical twin sisters. They got there blond hair from their father who was killed a year after there birth while they go their blue eyes from their mother who had silver hair. The only way to tell the two appart was their hair, Mina had a bow tied in her hair and it was waist length, were as Little Serenity's hair was already reaching her ankles and she kept it in meatballs so that I would reach her waist. "No girls it's time for bed." Serenity said as she kissed both girls on their foreheads. As Serenity was doing this the door to the girls room open and shut quickly. Serenity turned to walk out of the room and walked straight into her second husband. "Alan you frightened me." She said and then took a look at him, "Alan, are you Ok? Are you feeling all right" She said, but she didn't see the hand that hit her across the face with a quickness. "Alan what the hell is wrong with you!" She screamed at him as he pushed her into a chair and tied her up. Mina ran over to her sister and they held each other in fear as they watched their stepfather beat their mother. Alan looked over at the two young girls with a sick look in his eyes. He walked over to the two girls and pried Mina away from Serenity. Mina yelled helplessly while the younger Serenity tried to beat on his head. Alan threw Serenity off of him into the wall next to her mother. He turned back to Mina and ripped off her nightgown and paints, exposing the young girl's nude body. He smiled sickly and then pushed himself into the young girl. Mina screamed loudly and tired to beat him, but he slapped her across the face. When he was finished with Mina he threw her like a rag doll onto the other bed and then picked up her sister, he proceeded to do the same thing to the second child. This time the elder Serenity had seen to much. "Alan leave them alone there only children!" Serenity said, as she tried to break free of the bonds that held her. Alan looked at the elder Serenity and deiced he had enough of the younger children. He reached under his shirt and pulled out a gun. "Say goodbye to your mother girls." He said the elder Serenity looked at her daughters mouthing her good byes and I love you's as Alan pulled the trigger. At that moment all went dark for the elder Serenity. Mina and the younger Serenity started to cry loudly into each other's arms. Alan looked at the girls and walked over to them and started to hit the two girls ruthlessly. "If you dare say anything about this you will both pay for it with your lives." He said and walked out of the room. A few days later the funeral for Queen Serenity was held. Princess Little Lady Serenity and her sister, Princess Little Lady Mina stood holding each other close in their black dresses with black vales hiding their bruised face and black eyes. On the left side of Princess Little Lady Serenity stood Alan, on the right side of Princess Little Lady Mina stood their stepsister Beryl. The two princesses let the tears run down their faces as they watched the coffin that held their mothers lifeless body being lowered into the ground. A month later the two princesses packed everything they could into two small suite cases. The two small girls left the palace in the darkness of night and ran as far away as they could. Hoping that they would escape all the brutal pain they had to endure while they stayed in the palace. The ran and went to Tokyo, were they were hoping to find a new life full of love, hope and happiness.
