The Child of the Prophecy, Chapter Two

In the afternoon the girls met briefly but they didn't think they should bother. If there was a problem, Serena would have been wailing. That was Rei's comment and the others seemed to agree. * * * That night, while Serena was working at her desk, Luna jumped up and told her that they had to talk.

'Serena is there anything wrong?'

'Huh? What? No, nothings wrong Luna. What makes you say that?'

'Well, you are up on time, you are always in the bathroom, you aren't getting detentions, you are studying and doing homework, you eat in better manners and it's not just me who thinks this. You're mother is wondering the same thing.'

'Oh sorry Luna, I just thought, I'd try and be good instead of bad at school.'

'Is that all?'

'Yes! What else could be wrong?' Serena nearly shouted this, startling Luna.

'I'm sorry if you think I'm being nosey but I want you to know that if there is anything wrong, then you can always talk to me.'

' I know I can Luna, but there is nothing wrong, seriously.' Serena's face relaxed into a grateful smile but it froze there at Luna's next question.

'I'm not trying to be pushy, but has something happened between Darien and you.' Luna continued as Serena sat frozen in her seat. 'In the past month that he's been back, Artemis and I haven't see the two of you together.'

Serena sat there, facing the wall for a long time but eventually, she turned round to face her cat, causing Luna to look shocked. In her eyes, there were tears and they silently poured down her face.

'Serena, what's wrong?'

'He...We.....It's not fair, he c-came back and said that we shouldn't be known as 'us' or 'we' but as separates, not a couple.' More tears flowed out of her eyes and Luna knew that she needed human comforting not, feline. The crescent moon symbol on Luna glowed brightly and in the place of the feline was a woman with long purple-black hair in a pale yellow full length sleeved top and white trousers with a dazzling sword at her hip. The light had caused Serena to look up and she threw herself into the arms of her guardian.

Luna just held her until she cries settled and she was able to talk. Serena felt herself calming at Luna's gentle words and her hand moving gently on her back. She continued, 'He said that there was no point in us and that we were just living in the past. We are no longer Endymion and Serenity so why should we be together. I told him that if he felt it like that, then fine. I came home and cried to sleep that night. I never speak to him anymore and but if it is extremely necessary I do in a fight but that is it.'

'How come you didn't tell us?'

'I didn't want everyone to know, I thought that he might not have meant it, but I guess he did.'

'But that's not right! What about Rini and the future of Tokyo?'

'Not all gone Luna'

'What do you mean?'

'True, Rini may not be born and I will not become the queen of Crystal Tokyo, but there will but..'

'Then how can you say, 'Not all gone'?'

'Easily, let me explain. You remember after the battle with Galaxia, I stayed with him that night?'

'Yes?'

'Well, we kinda, you know, did it.'

'Oh my god, are you..?'

'Yes, Luna, I think I am. I'm throwing up every morning and I my period is late.'

'Oh god!'

'This is why I didn't say anything, I knew you'd be disappointed in me.' After saying this, Serena threw herself out of Luna's arms and put the pillow on her head, allowing her tears to flow again. However, Luna said gently, 'I'm not disappointed.'

'You're not?' Serena said coming out from the pillow.

'No, I believe that everything happened for a reason. There was a reason why Queen Beryl was able to destroy the Moon Kingdom, and there is a reason why this has happened. But you should find out for proper. Tell your mother, she is just as worried about you as I am. Ok?'

'Ok Luna, Thanks, I will. I'll do it now.'

'Good girl.' Serena gave Luna a hug and then started to walk to the door. As she got to the door, she turned and said, 'Luna, will you come with me?'

'Of course I will, just one second.'

And Luna turned back into her normal feline state in another glow of bright light. Just as she jumped into Serena's arms, there came the sound of creaking wood from under the carpet. They both looked at each other. Serena yanked the door, and saw Sammy, her brother sprinting sown the hall. Dropping Luna, Serena yelled, 'SAMMY!!' and chased after him. While he was at the bottom of the staircase, Serena was at the top and didn't notice Sammy's roller-skates. Serena's parents were in the downstairs hall holding a struggling Sammy when Serena's scream pierced the hallway sounds. And to add to their confusion, Luna at the top of the stairs screamed Serena's name while jumping in the air.

To be continued. Aren't I horrible? What will happen to Serena? What will happen to the baby? What will Luna do if the Princess is hurt? What will happen?
