Chapter 4
A Second Chance for Happiness
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon but a girl can dream.
Serena looked outside and saw that it was snowing. Her biggest dream was to get married when it was snowing but according to this she was already married. She looked at the dress that hung in her closet. Darien hadn't come to bed last night. He'd probably went to his mistress he was talking to yesterday. She was going to this charade as Mrs. Serena Shields and then maybe the spell would be over and she could be home not having to feel this way about Darien and the way he touched her. She pulled the dress over her head and began to brush her hair. The guests would be arriving shortly and Darien was still in his study. Enough was enough. She gathered her skirts and headed in that direction. She didn't even bother to knock. "Darien aren't you going to get ready" asked Serena as she opened the door. "I'm not going," said Darien without looking up. "Darien, look at me. I did not spend an hour getting ready to not have an escort," said Serena in a real southern voice. "Boy you got this talking thing down-," said Darien as he looked up. "Why Serena, you look beautiful" said Darien. "I don't want to hear it. Now get up and get ready. Do I have to dress you myself? I will if I have to because I've already seen you naked," said Serena and she blushed at her last comment. "Please" said Serena softly. How could any man deny the look she gave him? It was a look of pure sincerity and possibly even love. "Ok but just this once. And could you dress me" Darien said jokingly. "Darien Shields, get your hind parts in shape and get ready. People will be arriving soon. " Said Serena. "That voice is starting to annoy me," said Darien. "Well you should have one too" said Serena as she left the room. Darien headed to their bedroom to get his tux out.
Serena took Darien's arm as they headed towards the stairs. "Here are our newlyweds," said Jaclyn as they headed down the stairs. Serena thought she saw Andrew but he wouldn't dare venture here would he? After a little while people were starting to leave. Serena had a marvelous time and Darien was smiling. "I'll be right back" said Serena as she headed towards the kitchen. When she left the room someone grabbed her by the arm and pushed her against the wall. "Well Serena, You didn't have to get this beautiful for me" said Andrew. "Andrew!" gasped Serena. Andrew tried to kiss Serena but she turned her face away and tried to run but instead they fell to the floor with Andrew on top of her. "Andrew get off me right this minute. Is that whiskey I smell" said Serena. Andrew rip Serena's dress baring her shoulder and upper chest and began to kiss her there. Serena reached for a pot but Andrew knocked it from her hand. Darien realized that Serena was not right back and wondered what was taking her so long and then he heard a clatter in the back. "Excuse everyone but it's late and me and wife would like to retire" said Darien. Everyone laughed and headed to the foyer where their coats were. Jaclyn bided him goodnight and Darien headed towards the commotion. "Andrew get off me" said Serena as the door opened and Darien was there. Darien in a rage pulled Andrew off Serena and gave him a bloody nose. "What the hell are you doing? Get away from her" said Darien as he threw Andrew against the wall. "Sor-sorry, I thought she wanted me" said Andrew in a drunken slur. "He's been drinking" said Serena. "I think the nice coldness from outside will cool him down" said Darien as he dragged Andrew out the back door. "Get out and stay out" said Darien as he slammed the door. "He ripped your dress and knocked your hair loose" said Darien as he tucked some hair behind her ear. "Why-why did you do that" asked Serena. "Why, Serena. One because he was trying to rape you and Two, I can't keep my feelings inside any longer. Serena I'm in love with you" said Darien. Serena looked at him funny and he began to turn away but Serena grabbed him and kissed him hard. "I'm not going to make the same mistake again," said Serena as Darien picked her up and they headed to their bedroom.
The
Next Morning
Serena woke up the next morning and looked at her surroundings. This wasn't where she went back to sleep at. She was back in her home in the 21st century, alone. But it wasn't a dream Serena thought. "I know it wasn't a dream" said Serena. She got up and ran into the living room. She couldn't find that letter but She remembered the address. She looked at her watch. This was the day that she had opened the letter. "It's like it never happened" said Serena to herself. She got dressed and grabbed her keys. She was going down to that house. When she got there, the house wasn't there. She knocked on the neighbors door. "Excuse me but where's the house that was there" asked Serena to the elderly man. "Why there hasn't been a house there since Ivy Crest Burnt down in 1609." Said the man. "12 years. How did it burn down" asked Serena. "Well the story goes that a husband and wife, I think Andrew and Serena, had an argument and he knocked over a candle. The wife got the children out but the husband stayed and burned with the house. I believe a couple of years later the wife married again though his name nobody knows. He had black hair and blue eyes. She had no more children" said the man. "Darien" said Serena. "Such a sad story. There is a whole book on it in the library. I'm used to be a librarian there and I wanted to read up on this place's history. Why you even look like the wife" said the man. "Thank-you for your time" said Serena. "Anytime sweetheart" said the man as Serena walked away. Serena got back home and slumped on her couch. She had fallen in love all over again in a dream and lot her job all in the same week. What was this world coming to? She was depressed and she knew it.
Darien sat in the dark and thought about what had happened. If it was a dream then it was all too real. Serena had hurt again even if she didn't know it. But life goes on he had always told himself. There will always be another day and then there was work. Yes he had to work.
Andrew didn't even bother to knock. He just came in. "Serena, look at you. Come on I heard of Darien buying your company. You look just terrible. I'm taking you out to eat." Said Andrew as he was pulling clothes out of the closet and pulling her clothes off to put new ones on. Serena was too numb to protest. Andrew cranked up the car. "Take me to the library" said Serena. Serena found that book and checked it out. She was sitting at the table reading when she suddenly realized who she was with. "What am I doing here with you" asked Serena.
