Her Cold Blue Eyes
*A/N: WAHOO!!!! I was finally able to get through the writers block! Take that evil writing demon! Thanks to all those who have reviewed and have waited patiently for this chapter to come out. IT'S FINALLY DONE!!!!*
Lita walked home from the supermarket, a spring in her step. She hummed a tune as she made her way to Andrew's apartment and knocked on the door. When her blonde boyfriend opened it up she brightly smiled and gave him a welcome kiss. "Hey, it's your turn to cook for all of us, I thought I'd help you out." She said, a laughing glint in her eye. Andrew smiled down at her, it was Saturday, the night that Mina, Rae, Ami, Serena and Lita would all get together at one of their houses, parents would be gone and one of the girls would cook. When Andrew had started dating Lita, he was brought into the tradition, as was Darian. This was great for the other girls because it gave them the excuse to bring dates. Andrew looked at his girlfriend, who was already on her way to the kitchen, two large bags of groceries in her hands. "I figured you wouldn't want to cook after all day at work, so I picked up some things before I came over." Lita chatted away as she started to cook, her hands, and her mouth busy. Andrew smiled and shook his head, his girlfriend never ceased to amuse him. Lita was humming along to a song again when she heard a noise. "Hey, Andrew, thanks for letting me use your phone." Lita whirled around, her hands on her hips as she glared at her boyfriend. "Darian's here?!"
The dark haired man looked sheepishly between his best friend and Lita. The brown hair cook glared at her boyfriend, who in turn glared back. "Listen Lita, I know you aren't happy with the fact that Darian's still my friend, but he is, you have to get over that." "He cheated on my best friend! I don't think that is just something you GET OVER!" "He didn't cheat on you did he?" "It's practically the same thing!" "How is that?!" Darian spoke up. "Listen, Lita, I don't have to be here, I can go." "No!" Andrew yelled. He turned to glare at Lita again. "Darian isn't going anywhere." "Yes he is! I'm telling you, I won't have him here!" "Won't have him? Won't have him?! You're my girlfriend, not my mother!" "Why you..!" The doorbell cut her off in midspeech. She stalked over to the oven and began to furiously rip at the lettice head, obviously wishing it was Andrew's. Andrew stomped over the the door and wrenched it open. Standing there was Ami, her 'friend' Greg, Rae and her boyfriend of the moment. "Hi Andrew!" Raye said brightly. "This is Ethan." Andrew grunted and let them in. Ami gave him a cursory glance before walking in, when she saw Darian standing there, her eyes widened. "Umm..hello Darian. It's a surprise to see you here." "Why is it such a surprise!" Andrew snapped, "He's my friend!" Ami raised an eyebrow, "I know that Andrew, I just didn't think that he would want to have dinner with us all." Rae just stood there glaring at Darian, when he looked at her, she stuck her nose in the air and gave a supurior sniff. "Come on Ethan, let's check if Lita needs help." She walked by Darian, but not before glaring at him again. "Is it just me Darian, or are you looking a little unwell, not sleeping?" She said nastily before dragging the poor sod she brought with her to the kitchen. Darian sighed, "Hey, Andrew, I think I'm going to go home, I'm not welcome here, I'll talk to you later." Andrew nodded his head, "I guess so, I'll see you at the arcade tomorrow?" "Yeah, I'll stop by." Miserable, Darian opened the door. To see Serena standing there, her hands poised to knock.
They stared at eachother for what seemed like hours. Darian finally shook himself out of the daze. "Serena." She interupted him. "Don't, Darian.were you just leaving?" "Umm." A blonde guy walked up to stand beside Serena. "Hey, 'Rena, I got the buns.Hi, I'm Stew." He said extending a hand towards Darian, when the dark man just stared at him, he dropped his hand and looked at Serena, suddenly uncomfertable. "Uh, you gonna introduce us, Serena?" She looked at the both of them, then quickly said, "Darian, Stew. Stew's my date for tonght." She seemed to relish the word 'date'. "Darian was just leaving." "Actually," Darian drawled, thinking fast. "I was just going out to get buns, but since Stew was so kind as to bring some, I don't need to go anywhere." He grabbed the buns out of Stew's hands and smiled at the flustered blonde boy. "So nice to meet you Stew." He said this between his teeth, not disguising the disgust. Serena glared at her ex-boyfriend, the pushed past him, her hand in Stew's. Dinner was going to be interesting.
Actually, Serena thought, not so interesting, as just very very tense. Lita and Andrew were obviously not speaking to eachother. Darian and herself sure weren't. Rae kept making sly, nasty insults to Darian, who at first looked surprised, then just started making them back. Ami was obviously distressed and Greg, who she had told most of the story to, was trying to comfort her. Mina found it all really amusing, and was happily telling her date and Ethan the reason for the tension. Poor Stew was caught between it all, and had no idea what to do.
Darian couldn't understand what Serena thought in the guy, for Chrst sakes, the guy looked like a boyscout! And who ever heard about a couple called 'Stew and Serena?" It sounded like something you would have along with a baked potato. "So, Darian." Rae said with fake sweetness. "How's that 'girl' you're seeing? What was her name? Missy, Macey?" "Madeline." Darian said through his teeth. "Right, Madeline, why isn't she here?" "We broke up." "Really?" Rae leaned over to look at him with narrowed eyes. "So was it worth it?" Darian looked from Rae, to Serena and back to Rae. He said very purposfly. "Yes." He looked back at Serena, to see her eyes fill with tears that she ruthuslly held back. "Excuse me." She choked out, before fleeing the table. Everyone glared at the dark haired man, who's head was in his hands.
Serena stood in the bathroom, breathing heavily. "Damn him." She whispered. "Damn him for getting to me." She splashed cold water on her face, then cursed when it ruined her makeup. She quickly wiped her face, then stiffled a scream when she saw Pan's face staring at her from the mirror. "Damnit Pan! You scared me half to death!" She whispered furiously at him. "I'm sorry, sweet princess." Pan actually sounded contrite as he 'stepped' out of the mirror and on to the floor beside her. "What are you doing here?" "I was looking for you." He said mysteriously. Then frowned when he saw her red rimmed eyes. "My poor princess." He said sorrowfully. "The dark knight is really hurting you, is he not?" Serena ignored the question, "Why are you looking for me?" She asked. "My mistress would like you talk to you." He said matter-a-factly. "She asks that you come see her immediately." Serena felt the anticipation of a battle welling up in her. "Just let me get the scouts and we'll come as soon as we can." She trailed off when she saw Pan shake his head. "No, none of your friends must come, my lovely Serenity. Only you." He leaned in close to her. "Only you will do." Serena looked at him, warily but shook her head. "No, I won't go without them." "I was afraid I had to do this, such a pity, for you will have a lump, I am sure." With that saying, Pan blew a powder into Serena's face. "What was that, Pan?" Serena asked, a suspicious look on her face. "Just a spell, my lovely princess, a simple spell to take you to the land of dreams." "The land of what? Ohhh." Serena moaned as fatigue took over. "Darian..!" Was all she was able to get out, before she collapsed to the ground.
*This was one of the hardest chapters to write and I have no idea why! I'm also not supremely pleased with it, not enough happens in my opinion, but it'll have to do. Next chapter, meeting the 'mistress,' oh it will be INTERESTING! Oh, and if anyone is interested, I'm looking for a good beta reader. I need one, I've realised how bad my punctuation can be.
