I just thought I should go ahead and get this chapter posted, so I could start on some new fics. I'm not telling any one who my new fics are going to be staring until the day its posted. So Charity's Silver Garden, if you're reading this, sis don't email me about my new fics ok. You'll see them once its posted, just like everyone else. Please excuse me if my grammar and spelling are totally off, I'll try and have it fixed later on. In this chapter, I'll have scenes flipped from scouts to Serena then to Darien, in this chapter. Look for this ********** which means a scene has changed.
"Serena wait I.......... Serena rushed out of the room, not even bothering to hear her father's explanation. She ran down a near by stair well, in an attempt to avoid running into any of her friends. "Serena wait," Mina and Raye called to her while they were standing at the end of the stair well. Serena ignored their calls and speed onto another hall. She didn't want to stop running, not after what she had just witnessed. Seeing her father kissing another woman, just made her want to break down into tears. Even as the scene played back through her mind over and over again, she just couldn't help but let one tear escape from her eye. 'Why did he do that?' she thought moving to the bottom of the stairs. Now on the ground floor, she knew she could get away from all of this now. She had to go somewhere to think; anywhere that was far away from here was good enough for her. After all Serena had no intentions of going back up the stairs to see her father again or any one else for that mater. As she moved across the polished marbled floor, she suddenly felt a hand grasp onto her shoulder. "Serena wait?" a familiar voice stopped her. Serena turned around to see Lita looking down at her with a concern look on her face. Serena stared into the her emerald eyes then anger settled in. "Let go of me," Serena snapped forcing Lita's hand off of her shoulder. "You can't leave the palace by yourself," Lita began. "Why shouldn't I my father doesn't care about me." Lita studied the angry expression on Serena's face and was just about to say something, until she heard another voice. "Lita let her go," Sonya told her. "But... "Let her go, she needs sometime to herself," the red head explained turning around and disappearing onto another hall. Lita turned right back towards Serena, but she was gone. 'What's going on here?' she thought standing in the middle of the marbled floor by herself.
An hour later...............
"How many times are we going to go through with this, I've already told you why I let her go, but that really doesn't matter because you three refuse to believe me," Sonya sighed leaning back in her seat while avoiding the other three women in the room. For a while they sat in silence then the shortest of the three stepped forward. "This isn't just about letting her go," Michelle spoke up ending the silence. "It's mainly about being negligent," Trista added. "Right I forgot you never let little Serena go any where by herself, you guys treat her like a human doll," Sonya mumbled. "That's it," Amara interrupted. Sonya turned around in her chair to find herself staring into the violent green eyes of Amara. " Before you had let her go, did it ever occur to you what could happen to her if the wrong person we're to find out who she really is?" the angry blond began. "I was well aware of what could happen to her." "Then why did you let her go?" "She needed sometime alone and besides if you wanted to keep her here that bad you could have gone after her." "Your right I could have, but I wasn't the one who she saw lip locking her father." Sonya got out of her seat, in a means to retaliate, but before she could utter one word Hotaru walked in the room. "We've searched the whole palace, but we still haven't been able to find her yet. The other's think she may have left the palace grounds," she said standing in the doorway. Amara glanced at Hotaru then turned back to Sonya. "Well Sonya it's your turn now." "What do you mean?" "You were the cause of her leaving in the first place and you stopped Lita from keeping her here," Michelle explained. Sonya sighed in despair, knowing that the others were right. " Ok. I'll do my best to bring her back, but I can't make any promises to any one." "And I defiantly can't make any promises that you'll still be in charge of sector S either," Amara shot back. "Amara......... Amara glanced at her partner and continued. "Bring her back unharmed or resign, you can take your pick." Sonya nodded her head then walked out of the room.

"What's up doll face?" a masculine voice whistled in Serena's direction as she was walked on past an alley. Serena continued to walk on, increasing her distance from the alley. She could hear footsteps running after her as she paced on. When she approached the pedestrian's sign, she suddenly felt a strong hand rest on her shoulder. She looked up to see a husky looking man dressed in a red sleeveless shirt and deep scratches on his face. "What's your rush dolly?" he taunted while smiling down at her. Serena could feel her heart began to flutter fearfully as the man continued to talk to her. His breath smelled of alcohol as well as his clothes, which weren't that really clean either. "How about you come with me," he offered while slowly moving his hand further down her waist. "How about you leave her alone," a commanding voice interrupted. The man that was near Serena turned around to see another man that was taller than him staring him down with threatening eyes. "Oh and who are you kid?" the one near Serena inquired with a chuckle in his voice. "Some one you don't want to mess with," the other man answered with a strait face. The guy near Serena laughed then tied an arm around Serena. "Listen here chum, I don't know who you are, but what's going on here between me and doll face here is none of your business. So I suggest you walk away, before you get smacked away." "Pretty big words for a drunk." "Drunk? Why you... The man was instantly cut off, by a strong ascending blow to his stomach. He loosened his grip from Serena's shoulder and backed away from her slowly.
Serena stood there not believing what had just happened, this strange guy had come to her rescue even though he didn't know who she was. "Are you ok?" he asked her now standing by her side. Serena looked down at the ground and then stared into his ocean blue eyes. "Yes I'm fine," she answered him while feeling herself go into a slight daze. "Sorry about what happened back there a few minutes ago, that guys always giving new comers around here a hard time especially women and............. The young man's voice trailed off as he returned Serena's longing stare. "Are you lost?" he inquired snapping out of his own daze. Serena flushed before looking back at him. "No I just took a wrong turn." The stranger glanced at her, after confirming his own suspicion that she could be another run away. 'Run away or not I can't just leave her here by herself, that dunk could come back for her', Darien thought to himself while looking at Serena from out of the corner of her eye. 'Someone could take advantage of her, if I leave here. She looks so familiar, I wonder what's her name?' Serena continued to look around at her surroundings, the sun was just setting over the horizon and darkness was spreading slowly. 'Great plan Serena, now what are you going to do, you can't go back to the palace,' Serena thought realizing the reality of her situation. "Listen I know a café that's nearby, care to join me?" Darien asked looking over at her with a warm smile.
Serena snapped out of her thoughts. "I'd love to, but first what's your name?" she questioned him before they went any further. "Darien... Darien Shields," the stranger replied simply. "And yours?" he inquired. "Serena," the blond answered him, feeling a little bit better that she had now met someone. Within minutes the two were at the café, chatting like they had known each other for years. Taking another sip of her coffee, Serena suddenly had this strange secure feeling inside of her. It was almost like she had met Darien before, but she couldn't exactly point out where. 'Could he be a soldier?' she thought while placing her cup down on the smooth surface. "So are you from around here?" Darien started, taking another sip of his coffee. Serena looked up from her cup and smiled at him. "Yeah I am." "That's good, do you go to school?" "Of course, but not the usual ones around here." Darien placed his cup down then brought his full attention to Serena. "I see your private school student right?" "I guess you could say that," Serena mumbled hoping that she wouldn't end up telling more than she was suppose to. Darien observed the way she was acting. He noticed that every time he asked a questioned pertaining to Serena's home life, she would clam up. "Serena is there something wrong?" He asked with a look of concern on his face. Memories about what happened earlier that day still seem to flash through Serena's mind as she sat there with Darien. Tears formed in her eyes as she looked down at the table. "Serena are you ok?" Darien said beginning to worry about her as he looked at her.
"It's nothing," Serena assured him. Darien whipped a tear from her eye then looked at her sympathetically. "Tell me what happened," he urged her while taking her hand. Serena sighed, trying to hold back more tears. "I don't think I should, I don't want to burden you with my problems." "Believe me your not, now tell me," Darien said smiling at her warmly and touching her hand affectionately. "Its about my father," Serena told him, feeling her hand's shake with nervousness. Darien gave her hand another affectionate rub. "Did he hurt you?" he asked his voice sounding more like a whisper. "No............ At least not physically, but what he did really............ Serena paused for a minute feeling like she was going to break down, she stared into Darien's eyes as more tears formed in her own. "Even though my mother's been dead for at least four years now, I feel like my father's forgotten all about her some how." "What do you mean?" "I saw him kissing another woman in his office, he didn't even realize I was there until one of my friend's stepped in the room. I've never seen do any thing like that before, it really hurt me seeing him do something like that. It was almost like, he was betraying my mother or something." "Did you talk to him after that?" "No I couldn't, more less confront the woman that he was kissing. So I got out, I felt like I couldn't stay there any more after witnessing something like that. You probably never have had any problems like these." Darien stared into her angle blue eyes and shook his head.
"Your lucky to have a father, both of my parent's we're killed." "Oh I'm sorry. Do you have any sister's or brother's?" "I have a sister, but I don't know if she's still alive or not." "What happened to her?" "She became a leader of some kind of organization right along with this guy that's she's nuts for. They left this town one day by plane.............. I haven't seen her since." "You mean she disappeared?" Darien nodded his head. "It never really bothers me though, I have this feeling that she'll come home one day. I keep thinking that way; it really gives me a sense that I'm not alone. Any way thanks for listening to me Serena, you're really the first person that I've ever talked to about my past, Darien smiled looking into Serena's eyes lovingly. Serena's face flushed while looking at him. " I'm gland you told me, even though you really don't know any thing about me," she went on. "True, but for some reason... being here with you right now makes me feel so calm. Your really the only one I've every talked to about my past." Darien got out of his seat and looked out the shops window. "We should be going," he began while looking at his wristwatch. "Its already eight." Serena gazed up at him with a smile now on his face. "Thanks for the coffee," she said not knowing what else to say. "Always a pleasure to assist a beautiful lady," Darien replied as he held the door open for her. Serena flushed again. "Don't say that." "Why not its true. You really are beautiful." Serena flushed fully red this time. Darien noticed that right away and smiled. "I see you agree," he said. "Stop it Darien." "Ok if you say so." "So where are we going now?" Serena asked since her face was now her original color. "Serena what are you doing out here?" a voice interrupted. Serena turned around to see a familiar redhead walking towards her.
"Sonya what are you doing........... "Everyone's been looking for you," Sonya said cutting Serena off. "Including you?" Sonya smiled. "I'm right in front of you right?" "Excuse me, but who are you?" Darien questioned finally speaking up while studying the pedant that was on Sonya's necklace. He recognized the royal seal that was engraved on it. "I'm Serena's guardian," Sonya replied. 'Guardian yeah right, she works one of the ambassador's protectors,' Darien thought. He looked at Serena from out of the corner of his eye. 'Then that means Serena must be.......... "Look I'm not leaving here without you," Sonya sighed with her full attention on the blond. Serena stared at her for a second. She had calmed down about what had happened earlier, but she really wasn't ready to see any one, especially this red head that was in front of her. Serena tuned around to look at Darien for an answer, but he was gone. "Where did he go?" she shouted. "Who are you talking about?" Sonya inquired. Serena sighed sadly. "Never mind lets go home. Sonya looked at her sympathetically. "Serena I'm sorry about what happened earlier today." "That's ok, I've known how you felt about my father for a long time. I'm not mad at you Sonya." Serena could see that older woman was relived once she said that. "Come on lets go home," Sonya motioned to a black limousine that was waiting for them. Serena looked up at the night's sky. 'I just wish could have thanked Darien.' She thought before entering the limousine.

"Of all the girls, why would Serena have to be the ambassador's daughter?" Darien mumbled while heading to a red sport's car.
