The Child Of the Prophecy, Chapter Nine
'So Alex hit him?'
'Yep.'
'Even though you expressly said no?'
Serena nodded her head. 'Alex said that I only told her not to hit humans, not monsters like him.'
'But why? Do you know what he did?'
'Nope, Alex had to go, so I don't know why.'
'So how do you feel about it?'
'About Darien being having his face re-arranged by a friend or him having his face re-arrange by a friend who I have told not to do that?'
'Er..Both.'
'Ummm, I'm not sure Luna; I know that I'm angry with Alex for hitting him, 'specially after I asked her told to. But about Darien, I'm not sure. He must have deserved it, but I still hate to think of him being hurt. I guess I'll never truly stop loving him.'
There was silence for a while, but Luna softly broke it. 'Trista, why did you want to speak to us?'
'Yeah, you didn't want the rest, but just Tara, me and Luna.'
'Serena, I think you meant Tara, Luna and myself.' Tara giggled.
'For a very important reason,' Trista answered, frowning slightly and raising her voice.
This caused them all to stare at the mysterious guardian of time. With their attention, she continued, 'During the Silver Millennium and all ages before that era, there was a prophecy that was always fulfilled because of the fear of what might happen if it was not. It was known as the 'Earth Child Prophecy'. For all children of the Earth Throne was it fulfilled.
'How does it go?' Serena asked.
Tara looked at the three older people being completely serious. She didn't like it when Serena was serious. She loved her light heartedness and enjoyed being in her company. Serena could always make the sun shine, even if it was a cloudy day. However, she knew that it was a very serious thing that was happening, because Trista was here, talking about the past.
Trista cleared her throat and her voice became full of mystery. 'The baby rejoiced by human end, the power will be good. The baby rejected by human end, the power will be evil.'
'How come prophecies are always predicting destruction?' Tara asked innocently, but the other three all smiled. Luna and Trista looked at each and didn't know what to say, because all the prophecies that they knew were about destruction.
However, Serena answered the question. 'Because, Tara, our wonderful ancestors decided that we need to remember important details about our long- standing traditions, so they created complicated riddles to remind the one who needed to be reminded.' Serena's speech brought waves of confusion and amazement from those in the room. Serena decided that her explanation wasn't finished and could be explained in more detailed. So she continued,' And these are the traditions about evil and destruction so we should never forget them otherwise we will end up in big do-dos!' She had kept a straight face while saying this, but at her choice of last words, it caused her and Tara to shake slightly and then violently, turning into giggles and changing completely into hysterics. Luna stared at the two girls in hysterics. She was surprised in a way, because Serena hadn't laughed in a while but she was surprised because the laughter seemed so natural from two people who didn't spend much time alone together. She felt like she had heard it a million and one time before.
Trista smiled at Luna's expression of surprise. She remembered how close the two used to be. She remembered the smile that was always on his face. She remembered the first time they all meet. She remembered the first time that they all kissed their first loves. She remembered and wished those times were here. She saw her true love and hated the fact that he didn't recognise her. She hated it that not one of them remembered the friendship that they had. He caused her pain and yet she didn't want to tell them in case they pushed her away because she wasn't able to be the light hearted girl that Serena is, the girl she used to be.
'Sorry about that Trista, I know we're s'pose to be serious but I couldn't help it. I just had to let that one out. It seemed so natural to be with you two and crack jokes.' And Trista smiled, she smiled remembering the way that Serena always apologised when it wasn't completely necessary. And she smiled at the slight remembrance that Serena had, even though she didn't know why.
'It's ok. The 'human end' is the time when the unborn child can be aborted illegally.' She started, but -
'Wait abortion existed in the Silver Millennium?' Tara gasped.
'Of course, many of the laws that exist now, existed then.' Luna explained.
'Hey people, focus, what is up with the prophecy then?'
'Well Serena, Darien, as the heir to the throne of Earth, should have rejoiced his child.-'
'What do you mean 'should'?' Luna asked.
'Oh my God! Is it to late?'
'My child will be evil?'
'Yes, it is too late! I was watching another in the past, while I remembered it and the you told me that you were pregnant and I knew then that it was too late.' Trista tried to apologise.
'Trista, it isn't your fault, I should have been more careful.'
'Serena, it takes two people to tango.'
'Tara's right Serena, Darien also took part in this.'
'Thanks for trying to comfort me Luna, Tara, but this is my mistake. I blame myself and I'm not going to allow this planet to be destroyed by my mistakes!' Serena spoke so sincerely that unknowingly; the girls all shifted into their princess gowns.
'So what do we do?
'Ummm . ermmmmmm . sorry guys, I haven't got any idea.'
'Don't worry princess there is a way.'
'Abortion? Trista I don't believe in it. It's horrible.'
'But Serena, to save this planet we must and anyway it's the only way.'
'Tara, abortion isn't allowed to happen at this stage in Serena's pregnancy.'
'Luna, I'm sure there'll make an exception.'
'How? Are we going to tell them that we're trying to save the world? After that how about you tell them that you're all sailor scouts? How's that for a plan?'
'Jeez, Luna take a chill pill.'
'Luna! Tara! Enough! World Crisis her! Literally!' Serena cried. 'Trista, you said that there is a way. And I don't think that you really were suggesting abortion?'
'You're right princess. It wasn't abortion. The way to destroy the evil involves a sacrifice.'
'What is the sacrifice?' Serena asked after a moment of silence.
'It takes three lives.'
'Does it matter who or...' Serena left her question unanswered knowing the answer already.
'What is it?'
'What? Don't do that!'
Serena turned to Luna and Tara, and uttered one, soft word. 'Us.'
OMG!!!!!!! How culd I end it there!!!!!!!!! And btw, I CANNOT WRITE PROPHECIES!
'So Alex hit him?'
'Yep.'
'Even though you expressly said no?'
Serena nodded her head. 'Alex said that I only told her not to hit humans, not monsters like him.'
