What's up, ya'll? Well, this is part four (finally!) I'm starting to run low on ideas, so it may take longer for part five, but it'll be out as soon as possible. Let me know what you think, and give me ideas if you like.
Disclaimer; I don't own Sailor Moon. Pioneer
and Naoko Takeuchi do. Good for them!
Well,
here it is- part four.
* * * * *
"I
know Haruka and Michiru want to know what's wrong," Serena thought as she
walked outside, "but how can I explain to them something I haven't even come to
terms with myself?"
Her
spirits brightened as she saw Rini run around the small garden, full of the joy
of life. Oh, how she loved her daughter, reveled in every moment she spent with
her child. Her love with Mamoru had been shattered in an instant; but this was
love eternal, pure, and she cherished it.
"Momma,
come play!" The little girl ordered, her face alight with happiness.
"All
right, Rini." Serena laughed, chasing her daughter through the trees. With a
squeal of delight, the young girl took off and jumped along the stepping-stones
of a small, bubbling creek.
The
creek bordered the forest, where massive oak trees grew and flourished,
spreading their great limbs to the sky. Once Usagi had caught the girl,
she lifted her high into the air and twirled around while Rini giggled in glee.
Yet
just as she gently laid the girl on the dewy grass, Usagi felt the spasm as it
ran throughout her body. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead as she slumped
against a tree, a faint moan escaping her lips.
She
closed her eyes, bringing a hand to her forehead.
Her breathing was labored, yet shallow, and
when her eyes opened the world swam before her, only to turn black as she hit
the dirt.
"Momma!!"
screamed a panicked Rini, as palace guards ran over, as bewildered as the
frightened child.
"Queen
Serenity!"
"Someone
call a doctor!"
Her
body was limp and lifeless as they carried her inside, her golden hair trailing
on the ground.
"Momma!!!"
Rini was hysterical now, half screaming, half crying as she watched the
motionless form of her mother being lifted away.
Drawn
by the intense commotion, Haruka and Michiru arrived in the garden to see the
frantic child and her unconscious mother. Haruka rushed over to Serena, almost
as panicky and worried as the young girl.
"Shh...
It'll be alright, little one." Michiru pressed the terrified girl to her
breast, refusing to allow the child to see any further of the doctors' attempts
at reviving the Queen.
"Momma..."
She was crying steadily now, the tears rolling in torrents away from her eyes.
"Shh..." As she
gently stroked the small girl's hair, Michiru looked over at Haruka and the
others. Haruka had just opened up the great French doors leading to the
interior of the palace.
"Get
her inside, now!" The Uranus Senshi ordered, and they did so. It was obvious
that the scene was traumatizing their Princess, and they also knew that the
cool shade of the indoors might help in resuscitating the queen.
Once inside, Haruka
began giving orders at the confused personnel inside the palace.
"You!"
she pointed at a terrified-looking waiter,
"Call a doctor!"
"Yes
ma'am!" he left, looking extremely anxious.
"Lie
her on that sofa!" barked Amara. "Careful! That's your Queen, not a sack of
potatoes!"
"Yes
ma'am!" As gently as possible, the guard carrying Serenity laid her on the
ornate cream-coloured couch. Her golden hair pooled on the tiled floor, her
skin was waxy pale, and her lips slightly blue.
"Uranus,
Ma'am, she's not breathing." Said the guard who had set her upon the couch.
Haruka gave him a look of disgust, and leaned over her friend.
"Dammit,
Usako," she growled in anger. Haruka was frightened, possibly more so than she
had ever been, and when she was scared she became angry.
She
opened Serena's mouth with her fingers to clear the airways, and began to
perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
"One...
two..." she forced the life-giving oxygen into Serena's cold and placid body.
"Dammit, breathe!"
As
Haruka was trying to revive Usagi, a blue-haired, blue-eyed young woman walked
in the door; suitcase under one arm, book under the other. She had barely
stepped inside the room when the young waiter that had left to find the doctor
almost knocked her down.
"The
doctor won't come, Uranus, ma'am," He said, "he's on vacation, ma'am."
"Doctor?"
Ami repeated, glancing around the room. "Oh my God! Usagi!" She ran across the
chamber, book and suitcase forgotten.
"Move
aside, Haruka." She ordered, as the Uranus Senshi reluctantly moved back. "What
happened?"
"We
don't know," Amara informed the young doctor, "she was outside playing with
Rini, and then she collapsed."
"Hmm..."
Ami said, her brow furrowed in concentration.
"What worries me is that she still isn't
breathing. Did you try mouth-to-mouth?" she inquired of Haruka. She nodded,
running a shaky hand through her blonde hair, her face pale.
"One...two..."
Ami repeated the mouth-to-mouth procedure, trying to make Usagi breathe.
"Come
on Usako, breathe!" She forced the air between her friend's blue-tinged lips.
"One...two...
three..." Ami breathed for Usagi, more forcefully this time.
Suddenly,
Usagi's eyes flew open and she gulped in the air, breathing heavily, but
breathing. She was alive.
That's it for now, peeps! I'll write some more on five shortly, and it
should be up soon, but reviews would speed up the process. :) See ya'll later!
