"HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"

Usagi heard many people yelling as she limped by.

She should be saying the very same.

She should be celebrating with her friends.

Despite being sixteen, she should be out trick-or-treating for candy with Chibiusa.

But no, she isn't able to do any of those things. It's not been a good day for Usagi.

It's not like she and the others didn't know, but Prince Diamond and his brother Sapphire were revived the month prior. They were angrier and hungrier than ever.

Prince Diamond had been trying to get his grubby hands on Usagi for weeks; he finally did earlier in the day, around five in the morning.

Ami, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Hotaru, Chibiusa, Mamoru, and the Starlights have been searching high and low since around nine in the morning. Usagi's mother called every one, asking if they saw her or knew anything. She had woken up to Usagi's panicked screams, and as soon as she and her husband got to her room, it was a disaster. She had called the police and spent several hours talking to them.

Chibiusa has been spending the night with Mamoru because Usagi wasn't feeling the greatest. She was just getting the flu and didn't want anyone to become sick.

Rei had been distant for the past few weeks, and as worried as she was, she was too concerned with flirting with Mamoru. She wore a sexy outfit and showed up at his apartment, not realizing Chibiusa was there. She was going to seduce him. She wanted Mamoru more than she's ever wanted anything before—except for being a singer.

Rei figured she deserved Mamoru far more than Usagi. When she heard the news and saw that Mamoru and Chibiusa were on their way to look for her, Rei had a meltdown and forced herself onto Mamoru, kissing him with all her might and passion she could muster.

That's where the next issue came in. The scouts all showed up then and there; they just stood there in shock, not knowing what to say. That was until Seiya stepped in.

They spent fifteen minutes arguing until Haruka had enough and smacked them both over the head.

"This isn't the time or place for any of this! Our princess is missing, and we need to find her! She's in some kind of danger, and we don't know what's happening to her as we speak. So let's get a move on it." Haruka was pissed.

"Rei is the one who came on to Mamoru." Chibiusa immediately spoke up so that Seiya would know. Mamoru loved Usagi and Usagi was hopelessly in love with Mamoru.

For all the crap Chibiusa put Usagi through, she really did love her more than anyone except Mamoru. She loved both of them equally.

"You should be ashamed of yourself. Now, come on." Makoto told Rei, heading out with the others.

"No. I quit. Why does she have everything? Why was she born the princess of the Moon and not someone else? Why does she get to be leader. Being the princess, she shouldn't be leader of anything. Any one of us should be the leader instead. I tried. I tried being happy for them. Fine I understand Usagi—Serenity is princess of the Moon, and that we have to protect her and everything. But why? Why does she get Mamoru? Why can't he love me?! I am so much smarter than that airhead!" Rei snapped.

"Rei, I do love you, but I'm not in love with you; you're more like a sister to me—just like the rest of the girls—except Chibiusa. I am in love with Usagi—my princess. She and Usagi are who are most important to me. And with each second that passes, something worse could be happening to her. I have to go. Come with or don't; it's up to you. If you do: great. If not, you can go home or wherever and think about everything." Mamoru calmly told Rei before leaving.

Usagi woke up in a strange room she barely recognized. She only recognized it as the room Prince Diamond once brought her to when they were fighting him and his minions.

"I was wondering when you would wake, my dear, Princess Serenity." Prince Diamond revealed himself to Usagi—along with his brother, Sapphire.

Between being sick and with the powers of the dark crystal, Usagi was so weak she could barely move.

"Stay away." Usagi weakly demanded, pathetically trying to get away.

"Well, that's just not going to happen. I'm going to make you mine." Prince Diamon callously informed her, climbing into the bed next to her.

"How did you find me?" Usagi weakly questioned, trying and failing to push him away from her.

"Your so-called friend, Sailor Mars told me." Prince Diamond answered, slowly removing her dress.

"No. You-you're lying." Usagi replied with tears pouring down her cheeks. She couldn't fight him off, and she knew it. Her only hope was that Tuxedo Mask and the Scouts found her in time. Yet, at the same time, she wasn't holding her breath.

"Sorry, Princess; I'm not lying. She said something about her wanting and getting Prince Endymion as hers. Now, just relax and enjoy. We're going to be here for quite awhile tonight. And then we have the rest of our lives together." Prince Diamond replied before he started having his way with her.

After several hours of being tortured and raped, Usagi finally found just enough strength to get away from Prince Diamond and his brother. She managed to dress in some random clothes she found and followed a sparkly pink light until she passed through some kind of portal and ended up back on Earth.

She had been aimlessly walking around the city for about three hours, not knowing where she was going, let alone not even knowing where she was in the first place.

No matter all the people she passed, no one stopped to help her—not even when she asked or begged for help. People thought she was dressed up for Halloween, some crazy person, or homeless.

She couldn't just transform: her pendant was in a drawer at home.

Lost, down, and just defeated, Usagi collapsed in some park next to a pond, waiting for death as she thought about Prince Diamond and what he did to her.

He repeatedly raped her, over and over again. He'd only stop for a few minutes in between before starting again.

And no matter how much she begged him not to, Prince Diamond came inside her—every time. He even invited Sapphire to join in.

When they weren't raping her, Prince Diamond and Sapphire viciously tortured Usagi.

11:30 PM:

"Usagi!" The girls called, desperately searching high and low.

"Over here!" Minako yelled, getting the others' attention.

"We found her! Usagi!" Makoto yelled, running over to where Usagi was.

"Usako!" Mamoru called, making it to her first.

"What the hell happened to her?" Haruka snapped, looking around.

"Usako." Mamoru spoke, gently rubbing her face.

"Mamo… It hurts…" Usagi managed to moan out.

Two Days Later:

"Mmmm! NO!" Usagi screamed, jerking up in a hospital.

"Usagi. It's ok. You're ok; you're safe. Mom and Dad are here." Usagi's mother gently spoke, trying to calm her down.

"Mom? Dad? Where am I?" Usagi questioned, looking around, confused.

"You're in the hospital. Your friends found and brought you here. They've all been here every day to visit with you, and Mamoru hasn't left your side at all. Chibiusa and Shingo are at home, waiting for an update." Usagi's father answered her.

"I'm alive?" Usagi questioned, shocked; she had thought she had died.

"Yes, Baby; you're alive. You've been in a coma for two and a half days, but you're alive. Do you remember what happened?" Usagi's mother questioned.

"A man took me; he raped and beat me. He let his brother rape and beat me. There's more, but I can't remember much more." Usagi answered before she lost it and just started bawling her eyes out.

"Oh, Baby." Mom and Dad cooed, hugging Usagi.

After half an hour or so, Usagi's parents left to go home to give Chibiusa and Shingo an update and to get Usagi whatever she needed or wanted.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you." Mamoru apologized, watching Usagi.

"It's not your fault; you didn't know any of this was going to happen. I don't think any of us did. Nobody knew they were going to come back. I didn't know Rei would betray me like that." Usagi softly replied. Her voice was still horse from all the screaming from her being raped and tortured. And then there was all the crying in the last half hour.

"Who came back? Back from where?" Mamoru questioned, taking Usagi's hand in his.

"Prince Diamond and Sapphire. They were revived somehow. I can't remember if they told me how or not, but they must've because I know they were revived. I know it was them and not someone pretending to be them; I'd recognize them anywhere—especially now." Usagi answered before she started crying again.

"Usako… Will you let me lay with you?" Mamoru sadly asked, watching Usagi.

"Please." Usagi replied, pleading with him.

Mamoru climbed into the bed with Usagi and held her in his arms, making her feel a little better. She was calmer and felt at least a little bit safer.

The pair cuddled until they fell asleep.
