One More Chance

Chapter one

Russet red. The color I had grown to be very fond of in a short amount of time. My body was battered and broken like a rag doll. The living corpse that is suppose to hold the identity of Tsukino Usagi is in ruins, barely alive. I try to take a breath but it comes out raspy and pain fills my chest as I strive to keep the air in my body. The metallic taste of blood keeps coming out of my mouth. Like a fountain a never ending source of water. My body and soul cries for someone to put it out of its misery. Ohh, how I wish I could die. Pain has filled every crevice of my body and soul. Pain from external and internal wounds plaque me. The need to live on, to survive and prove them all wrong is too strong to let me die right now. How my heart fills with the lust to feel their pain and my eyes that were once considered innocent shall never mask feelings again. I shall and must survive.

How it started I shall remember forever. It started out after school at Rei's temple. As usual I was running late. But that was because I couldn't miss the opportunity to flirt with (ANDREW). Practically leaping up the hundreds of stairs at the temple I paused for a moment and walked over to one of the cherry trees. I reached up with my slim white hand and picked 2 blossoms. I put them to my nose and inhaled the sweet aroma of the blossoms. Cherry blossoms were actually my favorite flower not roses. Then I carefully put one blossom onto each side of my head. Taking one glance back at the trees I sighed and started my journey back up the stairs. The next thing I knew was that I was soaring in the air once again. Sometimes I do regret that promise I made with my mother.

"Do you know how late you are?!" Rei started.
" Wasn't the meeting suppose to start…" But then I got cut off.
" You're a half hour late. Why are you always late? Couldn't you ever just be on time? I am just so tired of you always ruining our schedules so that you can do what you want." Mamoru sneered.
"Your such a flake why do we always have to put up with your flaky-ness all the time." Minako cut in.
"It's not like I ever wanted this job!" I wined.
" That's exactly the point, if you don't want it then why don't you just quit?" A dark form stated calmly.
I whirled around to come face to face with Makoto. I saw some movement just below my gaze and followed it. Makoto was cracking her knuckles, a bad habit she had when she was about to deal with someone. I suddenly gulped not wanting to believe that she might do what a voice in my head was telling me. I pushed it out of the way and the scene before me started to unroll. The Senshi my group had me in the middle of their circle. There was no escape. Looking up with pleading eyes for someone to put an end to this confrontation. But every face I looked at turned out to look colder the last. Finally my eyes laid to rest on the aqua haired girl called Ami.

"We have proposed a plan, to eliminate our problem. The little glitch that we have has set us back from eliminating our enemies. How we have decided to deal with this "threat" is to just eradicate it." Ami stated coolly. "So what are we waiting for?"

My eyes widened in wonder on what was going to happen. It just hadn't clicked on who they were going to eliminate. Bright colors, the colors of the inner Senshi planets started to gather and slowly formed a creature. It's color was silver with lightning that kept flashing across its surface.

A voiced filled my right ear suddenly. " Well I guess you had better start running then?" I glanced behind me to find Rei. She then violently started to push me. I fought back wildly. Luck had not been on my side that day. I could not feel the ground beneath my feet and felt myself become airborne. And down the stairs I went with Rei kicking me the whole way down. I gasped and started to cough up blood.

Then Rei's voice was heard again. " Well I suppose this is Ja ne little bunny. I bid you farewell to the next world and the only world the world of the sinned." And I felt cold lips touch my forehead.

"Kill her now!!" Mamoru yelled.

The ground started to rumble. And as I got to my feet I saw that I was in an empty parking lot with an elemental. Feelings of rage and anger and abandonment filled me. As the first strike happened. Twenty minutes later it was all over. There I was with the ability not even to rise my head from the now bloody puddle of blood my head rested in.

*I wish I could start over* was the last thought that went through my mind before my eyes shut for what I thought was forever.

~dream like state~
a poem resurfaces in my mind from a few years back one that I knew that I would never forget.
I shall escape,
Never to return,

Lush and green,
Always green,
Lest disease strikes,

A unique smell which can be called pine,
The bark rough,
But comforting,

A tree spirit lingers,
Trapped,
For all eternity,

Never to go away,
The one that caused,
it never wants to let go,

I yearn for a person,
a person to share my feelings with,
my problems,
even my triumphs,

unlike the people who have caged my spirit,
shackled me down hand and foot,
brainwashed me,
made you who I am,
someone who I can't stand,
they don't know the real me,
and never will,

I want to escape,
Be rid of this slavery,
This fake smile,
And even faker personality,

I want to run wild,
Never to return,
Go to live,
In a place they have never heard of,
And then never return,
I want to live,

I shall go,
From the naïve girl I once was,
To be replaced,
Into a wise and sophisticated woman,

Jealousy shall rage up in their heart,
Try to pull me down they will try,
But I shall never surrender,
For if I shall,
An escape shall never happen,
I will fight even with my dieing breath,

My sanctuary in the trees,
Shall never be forgotten,
They shall remain,

For wherever I go,
I shall feel their breath,
Upon my neck,

The trees I see in one place,
Are in heart but not body,
The trees I see in another world,
And their spirits shall stay with me forever,

I shall escape,
Never to return,
