some of my reasons for certain plot twists and character attitudes.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the story.
*****The Cracked Mirror*****
***The Beginning***
The mirrior shatters into hundreds of pieces as the heavy object collides
with it. The young woman inhales audibly and quickly turns, raising her
arms above her head to protect her face as shards of broken glass fly at
her.
A small grey kitten runs in at the sound only to see the girl falling with
many pieces of broken glass imbedded in her body, quickly drenching the
crisp white gown and the long beautiful hair with blood.
"Oh dear! Princess!!" As the kitten exclaims she runs out the room to get
some assistance for her injured friend, leaving the girl on the floor
alone.
"..Elios.." The girl moans before she falls unconcious.
***
"Help! The Princess!! Help! Your Majesties?! Help!" The frightened kitten
ran in screaming at the top of her lungs during a political ball.(which
wasn't very formal, more of an excuse to party ;)
Everyone turned to the kitten and the room suddenly silenced as the King
and Queen ran with their guard, following the kitten to the princess' room.
Serenity was flushed with the small amount of liquor she had already had
and her husband was already well past drunk but they ran with perfect
ease to the young girl's room.
"Smally Lady!!!!" The terrified queen suddenly runs to her daughter's side.
"What happened?! Who did this?!" A now enfuriated king demanded at the
little kitten.
"Please your majesty. I do not know. I found her like this. I heard a loud
crash and came to see what it was and found her on the floor!" With this
the kitten ran off crying to the comfort of her parents.
"Quickly girls we need to transform now and you too muffin, I need your
energy." Serenity was too embaressed to admit that she was too drunk to
heal her daughter herself.
"Right, let's hurry and help her so we can find who did this and make
them pay!" Makoto said and she and the others transformed into the sailor
scouts.
Everyone huddled around the girl, placing their hands on the person next
to them, forming a circle leading to Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Mask stood
behind his wife with a hand on each of her shoulders, giving her all
the energy he could.
A glow formed around the room and Sailor Moon began to sweat with the
strain of a power she hadn't used in a long time. Soon all the glass was
gone and the wounds began to close and heal.
Everyone stood and Tuxedo Mask lifted his daughter in his arms and laied
her in her bed.
"Wake up Small Lady." A now detransformed Serenity whispered to her
daughter.
But the girl did not wake. "What's wrong!? She should be fine!"
Ami walked over and began to run some tests with her compact computer,
however it was limited in what it could do. "She is in perfect health.
There has to be another reason as to why she has not regained
conciousness."
"Has anyone bothered to look at what smashed the mirror?" A rather angry
voice from the vicinity of the floor asked.
"What do you mean Luna?" Serenity asked.
The black cat and very upset mother pointed at the replica of the crystal
bell that Small Lady had requested be made for her when she returned from
the past.
It was quite heavy and made of a deep golden metal, painted in all the
right places. All except the places that had worn from holding and chipped
from the impact with the mirror.
"Do you think she did it because of the Pegasus?" Minako asked, suddenly
unsure if there would be an enemy to catch.
"It's possible. After all she really loves him and they were great friends.
She's bound to miss that." Rei said as she began to walk out of the room.
"Where are you going Rei? I thought we were going to make whoever did this
to Small Lady pay." Makoto said with a little dissapointment in her voice.
"I'm going to go and try to cheer Diana up before she causes her dad any
more stress. She's probably scared to death. Small Lady means more to her
than to that Pegasus. At least Diana sticks around." With that Rei leaves
in a huff with Luna following.
***
"Where am I?" Small Lady turns as she glances at her surroundings,
noticing that she can barely see due to the bright white light shining
everywhere.
"What a funny place this is." She laughs as a small chipmunk comes up to
her in search of food. Picking up the small animal she is amazed that it
is not afraid of her. "Do you have friends like me here?" She asks the
small rodent as she cuddles and pets it.
The chipmunk turns it's head to the side and blinks at her as if
pondering the meaning of her question.
"Of course he has friends here but I would not say they are like you."
Small Lady jumps at the voice but a part of her screams with memory.
"Elios?" A barely audible whisper comes from her as she turns frantically
searching for the owner of the voice.
"Yes maiden, I am here." She turns as a hand reaches out and touches her on
the shoulder only to look into deep amber eyes.
"Elios! It is you! I've missed you so. Where have you been, why didn't you
return to me?" All of this came in one sudden breath as she throws her arms
around him, drenching his clothes with her tears.
"Do not cry. I am here for you." He says as he wraps his arms around her.
"However I am also not here. What you are experiencing is a serious
problem. Your dream mirror is beginning to crack. This rarely happens and
for most it is only when one is creating a new dream to replace one they
feel is out of reach. Yours is special, though, and I see no cause in why
it would begin to crack. Are you ill?" He said all this slowly and with
a sure tone as not to frighten her any more while he held the sobbing
girl close to him.
She sighed slightly and closed her eyes. "Yes Elios. I am ill. I am
suffering from the worst illness that ever faced mankind."
"Tell me, what is this illness. Perhaps I can find a cure for it." His
voice was no longer calm and she could tell that he was truly beginning
to worry for her physical health.
She gently pushed away from him and wiped her tear stained face. "I'm
suffering from a broken heart." With that she turned and ran from him, not
caring where she went or if she would go anywhere at all.
-A broken heart?! But how? She's beautiful and strong. How could one not
return the love of such a creature?- He thought for a long time as he sat
down deciding it would be best to remain there for her if she needed him.
Eventually he fell asleep under a cherry tree. The chipmunk came up and
nestled up next to Elios and it soon fell asleep too.
