Sequel to Sailor Moon Bridges
Serenestorm
This is the sequel to Bridges. You can probably get by without reading
bridges and still be able to understand this fic, but I would suggest you read
Bridges first because I will refer to certain events that transpired in the
fic.
Standard Disclaimer: Sailor Moon will never, ever, ever belong to me.
Darkness
engulfed her swallowing her up deep into the abyss. She called out, cried out but no one seemed to hear her or to
even care about her screams. She felt
so scared, so alone, in this room covered in shadows, blinding her of its
contents. She searched frantically
around her, her hands spread out about her, feeling her way across the dark and
seemingly empty room. She knew there
was someone she must find. That was why
she was there, even though she couldn't remember just how she came to this
place or how she even knew the reason for her being there, she just knew what
she had to do, not the why's and the how's. She continued her search not knowing exactly where she was going, but
hey she didn't know where she was in the first place, so the thought of getting
lost didn't even bother her, she was already lost. The person that she looked for though was even more lost than
herself, much more lost.
"Can anyone
hear me?" She called
"Is anyone
here?"
Nothing
answered her, though she did feel a presence in the room now. So suddenly whoever or whatever had come,
for she had not sensed anyone before now.
"I'm here to
help". She said relaying her message to
the presence lost in the darkness of the room.
"Please, I'm
here to help you. Tell me where you
are". She more so demanded than
requested. She was tired of this game,
of searching for this mystery person who obviously didn't want to be found, but
she couldn't leave the retched place without the one she was sent there for.
She again tried
to recall the reason for her finding the person, but no answer came to mind.
She sighed
frustrated.
"I know someone
is in here. Answer me now". She said feeling irritated and somewhat
angry with her reluctant rescuee. She
could not take this darkness anymore. She knew she would have to leave soon. She seemed to weaken at each passing moment as if the darkness sucked up
the light of her energy.
She felt around
going toward the presence she felt. She
was surprised that throughout the inspection of the room, she hadn't felt or
ran into any furniture. The room was
completely empty save her and the mystery person.
Suddenly she
felt arms wrap around her small waist from behind her. She knew it was who she had sensed for no
one else was in the room. She tried to
turn around and break free of her capturer, but the person's arms were like a
steel trap, she could barely move a muscle.
"What do you
want, Mikage"? A deep masculine voice
whispered in her ear, his breath tickling and teasing her earlobe. He pressed her body firmly against his own,
totally cutting off any chance of escaping his iron grip.
"I- I came to
save you." She answered shaking from
the feeling he was arising within her just from being in his arms. She felt scared sure because the man, which
was who she was supposed to save, was physically much stronger than her, but
she also began to feel somewhat aroused from his proximity. She breathed in deeply trying to shake those
thoughts from her mind.
"Came to save
me"? The man said softly. She could
almost feel him smiling at that statement. His grip loosened slightly.
She breathed a
sigh of relief as she felt his muscular body relax, but relief was given too
early for a second after he relaxed, he tensed again and spun her around
quickly to face him.
Her vision swam
from the quick movement. When her head
cleared, she noticed a pair of hypnotic blue/black eyes staring into her steel
blue ones. She felt she would drown in
the storm that took place in the depths of his eyes piercing her with their
intensity. Their faces were merely
inches apart and he looked at her as a lover about to steel a kiss.
She realized
that she knew his face; the familiarity of him shocked her. She had not expected him.
"Let me save
you. Let me save you from the
darkness". She begged looking into
those eyes that were now pitch black, the little blueness that they held fled. His cobalt hair fell into his eyes and she
longed to reach up and brush back the silken strands as she had many times in
the past.
He stared at
her intently, his face the picture of concentration as he seemingly
contemplated her request.
His face
suddenly contorted, a scowl gracing his sensual lips.
"My poor
Mikage, don't you know"? He said
softly, coldly gripping her waist even tighter pushing her onto him almost
erotically.
"I can't be
saved. I am of the darkness now." He said laughing not merrily but mercilessly.
Selene sat up
suddenly shaking off the effects of her dream, or vision. Her long black hair hung like a shawl around
her. She had been having the same dream
for almost a year now but it had never ended that way. Usually he agreed to allow her to help him,
to save him, but this time it was different. Selene knew that her worst fears had come true. The Dark Messiah has been chosen and it was
who she had suspected it to be.
"Shin". She whispered pulling her satin sheets to
her chest as she remembered how he had held her in her dream.
"Shin, Lord
Edymion, I will stop you. If I can't
save you then you must die". Selene
declared crystalline tears spilling down her cheeks. She would protect her princess at all cost even if it meant
killing her prince, even if it meant killing her love.
So what do you
think? Read and Review. Sailor Moon Bridges was my first fanfic ever
and I wasn't really pleased at how it turned out. This one will be much better and it's focused on the characters
introduced in Bridges. You might want
to read Bridges before you get into this one. It's not a bad fic, but I am a little biased on the issue, it's just
that I wanted to take it so much farther than I did, that's why I've decided to
revise it. Anyway the next chapter will
be out soon.
BTW: Mikage
means Beautiful Shadow. Its kind of a
term of endearment since Selene's nickname is Shadow.
