A/N: So sorry for putting
three of the same chapters up!! I guess I pressed Send too much. -_-;;..I'm
going to replace each chapter as I get it, because if I delete the extra two,
it deletes my WHOLE story! And you wouldn't want that to happen. * Smiles

Chapter 19: Because I Loved
You
" Mother…" the word kept
echoing loudly in Serena head. Her body sagged and was held up by ropes tying
her to the bedpost.
" She has some lovely wine
in her kitchen." Angie Ireland smiled serenely as she lounged on Serena's bed.
" Mo-other." Mina rolled
her eyes. She bit her lip. " I guess you want an explanation, Serena?" she
looked with no sympathy towards the gagged blonde.
Serena felt fiery anger
take over her present state of confusion. She raised her head up high. Serena
widened her eyes as much as she could and blinked rapidly in her imitation of
Mina. She tried as hard as she could to smirk with the gag in her mouth, as
Mina's face changed a color of burgundy when she realized what she was doing.
Mina held her anger in
check. She sauntered of to Serena, hips swaying. " You obviously do not realize
what power I have here." Mina growled low, lips near Serena's ear. She reached
into the pocket of her faded jeans, and pulled out something silver. With a flip
of her wrist, the silver item became a very sharp knife. Mina balanced it on
her right hand, and balanced a piece of rope in the other. " Short bloody
death," she smiled as she lifted her right hand, " Or slow painful death." She
countered, lifting her left hand.
" Let me see that knife."
Angie ordered.
Mina rolled her eyes once
again. " Mo-other." She drawled, exasperated. Nevertheless, she snapped the
knife closed and tossed it to Angie lying on the bed. " I guess the rope will
do." Mina smiled at Serena. She wrapped the rope around her neck. She made a
knot, where she could tighten the rope with a pull. " Enjoy." Mina whispered,
as she slowly began to pull the rope.
" Serena?" Darien called
out as knocked on her dorm door over and over again. " Guess I could use the
other way. I hope she's not changing." Darien chuckled to himself, as he jogged
around the building, till he was at the stairs to Serena's balcony. Running up
them, and jumping easily over the little gate, he noticed the glass doors opened.
He heard voices. Quietly, he shifted next to the glass door, and craned his
neck to peer in. The first thing he noticed was Serena tied to the bedpost. He
frowned, wanting desperately to run over and untie her. A woman in her mid 40s
was lying on Serena's bed. She had something shiny in her hand, and was looking
at it so intently she didn't see Darien. There was another blonde walking
towards Serena with a rope in her hand. Her back was to Darien, so he couldn't
see her face. He swore silently, as he realized what she was going to do. When
she began to pull the rope, Darien couldn't stand it any longer and threw down
any logic that he had, and rushed in the door. " Stop!" he yelled.
Mina's eyes widened, and
she dropped her hand. She whirled around. She knew that voice. She knew it, and
seeing his face…his eyes…made her hear beat. " Darien?" she whispered.
" Mina?" Darien answered
in surprise. " What are you doing?" he asked angrily. He stepped forward and
began to undo the ropes around Serena. First though, he removed the gag from
her mouth, and placed a sweet kiss on it. " How are you?" he whispered,
stroking away the tears that suddenly ran down her cheeks. Then he felt
something cool on the back of his neck. He slowly turned around.
" Amy, here." Ken smiled
wearily, as the girl started to walk up the stairs.
" What? This is the
building." Amy gestured to Serena's dorm building.
" I know." He answered
simply. He began to walk behind it.
" Uh...well, then." Amy
blinked in confusion, and jogged lightly to catch up with him.
They reached Serena's
balcony and ran up the steps. As they reached Serena's room, their hearts
stopped at the scene before them. Mina was standing like a stone behind this
woman who had a silver knife at Darien's neck. Serena slowly slid stepped
forward, and the ropes around her body fell to the floor. Ken was the first to
react.
" Sophie don't!" he
screamed. The woman turned around, her knife off of Darien's neck for a second.
" Mina!" a voice yelled as
a body charged through Serena's balcony doors.
" Lita?" Amy asked as she
was nearly trampled by the brunette.
" Amy?" she replied. "
Ken." She acknowledged.
" Lita." Ken smiled a
small smile. Something flashed in the corner of his eye. " Sophie don't!" he
yelled once again.
" Who's Sophie?" a voice
cut through everything. It was Serena. She had a sharp piece of glass in her
hand and it was pressed against the strange woman's neck.
" Me." The woman replied.
" I am Sophie Ireland. Twin sister of Angie Ireland."
The glass fell from
Serena's hand, and shattered on the floor, scattering glass shreds. Relief
flooded Serena's body. She felt weak, and strong arms encircled her waist, a
warm cheek on hers. " Serena." Darien
sighed, kissing her head top.
" Bastard's daughter."
Sophie Ireland snarled. " You ruined my sister. She lost her job. She lost her
respect. She lost her life." She whispered the last sentence harshly. " My
mother's heart broke in half when she heard what the bastard of your father and
you did to her." She told Serena calmly, thou eyes a blaze. " That's why my
daughter Mina swore revenge on you, after she saw her grandmother's condition."
" No." Mina replied quietly
but strongly. All eyes turned on the blonde standing so still, eyes on the
glass shreds by her feet.
" Why Mina?" Darien
whispered.
Mina fell slowly to the
ground on her end. Her hand pressed against the glass shreds on impact; blood
seeping through. Her blonde head bowed to the ground as her body shook with
effort. Mina raised her head up, blue eyes filled with tears. " Because I loved
you." She whispered.
To be Contiuned….
