1 "Watch Out Meatball Head !"

2 Chapter Seven

******************************Serena**************************

I gasped in surprise. I struggled to sit up, and push the guy off me at the same time. But instead we both rolled over getting alarmingly closer to the river bank. I knew that I didn't want to end up wet – 'I'll get him off guard' I thought. So I went limp in his arms. I was right.

The instant I stopped struggling so did he, he turned to look at me. And I found myself starring into piercing blue eyes. at that moment all thoughts of escaping flew from my mind. He rolled of me and sat up, pinning my arms down.

"What do you think your trying to do ?" he asked me raising his eyebrows, in disbelief. For some reason I felt mad at him. Specially at his expression.

"what are you talking about !! you're the one who attacked me !!" I practically yelled out. He looked a bit taken aback but recovered quickly.

"you're the one sneaking around scaring people to death." He said increasing the pressure on my arms.

"please let me go . . . I didn't mean to scare you, I was just taking a walk and then- 'sob' –then I saw the –'sob' –the lake--." I managed to say before I burst into tears.

Suddenly he let go of my wrists and pulled me into a sitting position and then I felt enveloped in warmth. I opened my eyes and blinked trying to clear my blurred vision. He was hugging me ! I didn't pull back, it was comforting to be hugged. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. You were dressed in black and I assumed you were a mugger something . . . I'm sorry" he said rocking me back and forth, trying to calm me down.

It was very calming. I closed my eyes. The rocking stopped, I looked up and found myself starring into those eyes again. Suddenly I felt something jolt through my body.

FLASH BACK

"Serenity I promise you, I will protect you no matter what ! I love you, so much . . "

"I love you too" said Serenity.

He wrapped his arms around serenity and leaned forward and kissed her . . . .

END OF FLASH BACK

I gasped out loud. What I just saw was me and . . him ?? I was so confused. I raised my eyes and found myself starring into an equally confused pair of eyes. We starred at each other for a moment. Then he reached up and pulled the baseball cap off my head, my hair came tumbling down.

"it is you." He said his voice barely a whisper.

"who are you ?" we asked at the same time. I pulled back from his embrace, and looked at him.

****************************Darien****************************

'she couldn't be' I thought. 'It cant be her.' But it was her. The blond girl, the girl that I thought I had killed, not only that but she also was the girl in the flash back I just had. 'serenity ?'

she looked at me confused 'serenity ? my … my names Serena' she said. Serena . . . I've heard that name before. . . Serena . . . that was it !!!

"Serena Tsukino !??" I asked amazed. She looked at me uncertain.

"well-." She started, but I cut her off by reaching over to her and hugging her again.

"you're alive ! I thought I'd killed you !" I told her.

She struggled in my grasp, but I was too strong for her. "well if you didn't kill me then, you're gonna kill me now ! let me go, I need to breath !" her muffled voice came. I let her go reluctantly. At least now I knew that the girl wasn't dead.

She tilted her head, uncertain. "what did you mean when you said you thought you'd killed me ?" she asked.

"well," I started. "I don't know exactly what happened, but what the doctors and newspaper say is that well you were going to get run over by a truck and I jumped and pushed you aside, in the last minute. The only bad thing is that . . ." my voice trailed off. She waited expectantly for me to finish. "I . . . I've lost my memory . . .and I don't know who I am" I finished quietly. I finally looked up. She was starring at the lake, a distant look in her eyes.

"me too, I have no idea of who I am. My parents want to keep me inside the house, and never let me go anywhere. My friends won't say anything about me. And I keep getting weird flash backs about people I don't know." She sighed.

"at least you have a family that cares about you, and you have parents that are there for you. And they are all still alive !" I snapped sharply at her. She looked taken aback for a minute.

"what do you mean, exactly ?" she asked. I didn't know why but I found myself telling her about my pathetic life, my only friend and my dead parents. She listened quietly.

When I had finished we both remained quiet. A sudden thought occurred to me. "you said your parents wouldn't let you out of the house ?" I questioned.

She looked embarrassed. "well they didn't. not exactly. I uhh… I kinda sneaked out" she said. I turned sharply to stare at her.

"are you saying no one knows your here ? have you completely lost your mind ??" I cried out jumping onto my feet.

She flushed. "I . . . I was . . I was just-." She stammered.

"what if I wasn't here ? what if you were hurt or mugged ?" I cried out, still on the roll. "what if –." I was interrupted by a light beeping sound.

I looked around, I glanced at Serena. She seemed as confused as I was. Suddenly she shot up onto her feet. "oh my god !!" she cried out. Before quickly turning her back to me and rushing out of the park, leaving me even more confused.
