~*Evil in the Shadow of the Light*~ Chapter 7:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Recap::
~*"By the power of love, I will destroy you!" She threw her staff towards the Destructor , and used her crystal to direct it into the evil. It resisted, and Serena used all the energy, and strength she could muster, and finally it hit the target. The light filled the monster, and it disappeared with a final scream. In it's place, was a fully bloomed rose, resting on the star locket, next to a small velvet box.
The scouts were de-transformed to human form, and Serena, fell towards the ground. ~*
But she never made it there, as Darien's arms encircled her limp body.
"Serena? Serena!!" he yelled, tears streaming down his cheeks, unchecked. Her eyes were closed. Her skin pale and cold. The once glowing crescent moon symbol on her forehead was black. Darien's tears soaked her face as he clung to her, sobbing his heart and soul out.
The scouts regained consciousness to see the heartbreaking sight before them. They burst into tears hugging one another, saying Serena's name over and over. Raye crawled over to where Darien was sitting with Serena.
"Do something! Please!" she cried. "Love is powerful, kiss her! It's worked before!! You have to bring her back to us! Please! Try!"
Darien nodded silently and leaned down to kiss her lips. He moved them against hers, but they remained cold, and motionless. Refusing to give up, Darien chocked back a new flood of tears and kissed the crescent symbol on her forehead. It did not glow. Raye burst into tears, crying harder than she ever had before. She held Serena's limp hand and put it to her cheek.
"No.. Please.." she whispered.
Luna and Artemis stared blankly at their dead princess.
"How could this happen again? Why did it? Not the princess.." Luna whispered almost to herself.
Artemis nuzzled her head and she broke down into sobs. His own tears fell steadily and silently, as he held Luna close.
Darien leaned while holding Serena to reach the velvet box, and he picked it up. He opened it and slid the ring onto Serena's finger. When he did this, the silver crystal fell from her once clenched fist. It rolled and hit the star locket and the rose. The star locket burst open and started to play. The symbol on Serena's head glowed slightly then faded. The scouts and Darien looked at one another shocked and Darien grabbed the silver crystal. Channeling his energy, he sent it through the crystal. It glowed barely and so did the mark on Serena's forehead. He had a sudden idea and placed the rose against the crystal. The Crystal glowed, and didn't fade. Darien didn't need to feed it constant energy.
"Is she alive?" asked Mina, her eyes wide, cheeks wet.
Darien was silent but looked at Amy. She looked at him and took out her computer.
"She.. She's alive.. I think.. Her life force is there, but she is too weak to breathe.. Her heart isn't pumping either! We're loosing her!" she finished, tears streaming down her cheeks once more.
"Scouts!! Send her your energy!" he said laying her on the ground. The moon symbol was beginning to fade.
"But Darien! Even if we send her our energy, her heart won't start pumping on it's own! I think it's too.. It's too.." started Amy.
But Darien was already pressing on Serena's chest, performing CPR. The already tired scouts transformed and touched Serena. Concentrating their power, they said together,
"Planet Power!" sending energy into her. The moon glowed brightly on her forehead but nothing more. The scouts fell back and were de-transformed and the glow started to fade. Darien leaned over and put his mouth to hers. He breathed into her and as he kept the connection, gave her all of his energy and the power of their love. Serena took a shaky breath and the scouts burst into happy laughter. They were quite a sight. Tears falling as they laughed.
Darien struggled to keep his eyes open, as he was nearly swallowed in darkness. He was having trouble seeing straight until Serena lightly squeezed his hand. He focused on her face and she weakly opened her eyes, just barely. She slowly moved her thumb to touch the band of the ring Darien had put on her finger. Her lips formed a small smile, and tears escaped her eyes. She forced her eyes open all the way and looked into Darien's eyes.
"Yes," she whispered before he swept her into a deep kiss.
