Mommy Dearest
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor
Moon. I wish I did…
"Serena,
please come back." I silently pleaded. I peered out the window again and saw that we were getting some
torrential downpours. The lightning
flashed violently as the thunder crashed so loud that I covered my ears and
closed my eyes. Serena was out
there, somewhere. And it was all my
fault.
I was about
to run upstairs, get the communicator, and contact the girls when the phone
rang. I rushed to the phone in hopes
that I could answer it first. To my
surprise, no one must've heard it. RING
RING. I just stood there and stared at
the phone. Could it be Serena? RING RING. Maybe one of the girls? RING RING. I picked up the receiver.
"Hello?" I
answered.
"Rini!" Said a familiar voice. I froze.
"D-D-Darien?" I stuttered.
"Yeah, it's
me. I'm glad you made it home before
this storm hit." He said in a
half-happy, half-sad voice.
"Uh, yeah, I
got home 2 hours before the storm hit." I answered.
"I'm glad
that it was you who answered the phone." He said in a very serious voice.
"Have you
found Serena?" I asked, jumping straight to the point.
"No." he sighed.
"Where are
you?" I asked worriedly.
"I'm in my
car. I pulled over to the side of the
road because of the storm." Darien answered.
"Darien, she's
out there in it, right now. I know she
is." I said tensely.
"Calm down. I'll find her." Darien said with much determination in his voice.
"I hope so."
I said in a voice barely above a whisper.
"Rini, I have
to go now. I'll find her." Darien said,
trying to sound cheerful.
"Okay, bye!"
I exclaimed before I hung up the phone. I sighed.
"Rini, what
did he say?" demanded a certain black cat.
"No luck." I
sighed once more. "No luck."
Luna shook
her head and went upstairs. I said on
the sofa and began to think of that frightening date. Was I really an intruder? A brat? Was I so evil that my
own mother couldn't stand the likes of me?
'No way!'
I thought to myself. 'It wasn't my
fault. It was Serena's.' I almost believed it. But something in my heart told me it wasn't
Serena at all. I sighed and gazed out
the window. The thunder and lightning
had stopped. The rain had even let up,
a little. I watched the horizon
silently. Little did I know: at the
exact moment, Darien had yet another trial to experience.
"Great, the
storm's over." Said Darien. "Guess I'll begin searching again." He started up his car and began his endless
search on the road again. Darien was so
worried. 'Why did Serena act this way? I give her lots of attention.' He said as he continued driving. Suddenly, something flashed across the
road. Darien slammed the brakes. He barely missed whatever it was. Darien jumped out of the car and caught a
glimpse of what it was. He swore he saw
two golden odangos.
"Serena!"
Darien yelled. He took off after
her. It wasn't before long that he
could see her just ahead. "Serena,
please stop!" He shouted once
more. Serena began to increase her
speed. Darien also increased his. Darien kept running and running in pursuit
of his love. Suddenly, Serena slipped
on the wet sidewalk and fell. She hit
her head.
"Oh god, Serena!" Darien shouted
as he rushed to her side. He began to
check her head when she suddenly pushed him away and stood up.
"Get away from me!" Serena
screamed as blood trickled down her face.
"You're hurt." Said Darien in a
worried tone.
"I'm fine. Leave me alone!" Serena shouted as she wiped the blood off her face. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. She was soaking wet from head to toe.
'Rini was right. Serena was in this storm the whole time.' Darien
thought as he stared into Serena's ocean-blue eyes. Serena turned away.
"Please don't go. Why are you doing this?" Darien asked with a
hint of fury in his voice.
"Because I'm sick of 2nd
place!" Serena said in an angry voice.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Darien demanded.
"Don't be stupid, Darien. You know exactly what it means." Serena said in a low, shaky voice.
"Serena, what about our future?"
asked Darien nervously.
"What future?" Serena countered.
"Now, you're the one being stupid."
Darien backfired.
"I'm sorry I'm not smart enough
for you." Serena said gruffly as she began to leave.
"Please, don't go. I'm worried about you. Rini's worried about you. Please come home." Darien begged.
"No. I'm sick of watching you spoil that little brat day by day. It's sickening." Serena argued.
"You're being selfish." Darien
said coldly. Then it was silent. Dead silent. For about half a minute. Then, Darien heard Serena sob.
"And you're
being a prick!" Serena said through her tears as she tore herself away and
began running again. Darien just stood
there, dumbfounded. By the time he
realized she was gone, Serena was away from yelling distance. Tears streamed down Darien's cheeks. He fell to his knees and sobbed for his lost
love.
Meanwhile: I
felt a cold chill run down my spine. It
was as if someone had walked over my grave.
A/N: How was
that? Was it good? Before you start flaming, in the famous
words of Sakura: Everything will be all right! I'm sorry about not updating this
in a while. FNN's been down, my
personal hell known as high school has begun, and getting a root canal has
caused me to fall far behind, but never fear! I'm back and I'm going to try to update as much as possible. By the way, you peeps should really check
out The Fate That Never Ends. Rini really dies in it. You'll
have to excuse all of the grammatical errors in it, however. Well, until next time!
