Recap -

"Lita, you seem to know a lot about this.." Serena trailed off.

"Yes, I do. You see, I'm also a direct descendant of one of those five women. Or you could say I'm one of them. Reincarnated."

~^Chapter Three^~

"You're WHAT?!" Came the astonished voice of Serena. Her back went rigid at this piece of information. Her eyes widened as she looked at Lita with a new spark of interest. Oh my God! she thought. But wait, she could be kidding around.

Serena started again, albeit more suspiciously, "How do I know you're actually telling the truth here and not just playing some horrendous joke?"

"Go ask Raye if you want. Why would I have any reason to lie to you? I'm telling you, I'm not joking," finished Lita. She looked at Serena and saw a hesitant acceptance in the blonde's eyes. Lita looked back to Darien to see what his reaction had been. When she had announced that she, herself, was a reincarnation, she saw him sit down upon one of the old leather couches quite abruptly, stirring up the dust.

Throughout this whole conversation, Darien sat and listened to what even he had not known. He stared at his younger sister and amazement showed in his eyes. He knew that she was quite powerful with Magick, and he most definitely was happy that she was on the side of 'good' and not against him. But wow, to him, her being a reincarnation of a long-dead Sky priestess is just something he never thought would be. It was so farfetched. He had to doubt her. But then again, why else could her powers rival even his and others who were far more experienced in it. He questioned himself and pondered on these facts.

"So, wait. You're not really my baby sister? You're just a Sky priestess from long ago reincarnated in the body of my sibling?" asked a confused Darien.

"No, silly! I'm still your sister. You see, err." She looked at Darien hesitantly, and then in a rush of words, "You-really-are-my-brother-and- Raye-didn't-want-me-to-tell-you-but-you're-a-reincarnation-too-Darien." She sighed in relief as that bit of information had finally been let out.

A single dark brow lifted into an arch and Darien asked curiously, "Why didn't she want me to know?"

"I don't think I should tell you. Go ask Raye, later."

"Fine."

Serena listened to this discussion and smiled slowly. She thought this was quite interesting. She thought of the situation she was in and burst out laughing. She looked up at the two surprised faces turned in her direction, and more laughter spilled from her lips. Her body quaked and her shoulders shook as she buried her face in her hands. Her face took on a slight tinge of pink and after a probing question from Lita, she sobered and turned to answer the question.

"I'm s-sorry? I didn't quite catch that question," said Serena, still a bit short of breath.

"I asked, what are you laughing at?" asked Lita, a little ruffled at the sudden outburst from the petite girl.

"Oh, hehe. I was just thinking about the situation I'm in from an outside view and what they might think. I mean honestly, first I'm almost raped, a man that claims to be my best friends' cousin saves me, and then of all things him and his sister claim to be reincarnations from spirits of long ago. What's next? I'm also a reincarnation and my whole life has been lived to face this mysterious 'problem' that I must solve??" Concluded Serena as she looked at the solemn face of Lita. "Oh my God, you're kidding right?" She watched as Lita's brows turn downward in a frown.

"I'm sorry my friend. But, well your assumptions and joking are correct. You are one of the reincarnates." Lita looked up at Serena to find a dazed expression on Serena's angelic face.

"You're. you're kidding.. right?" Serena asked weakly, then turned to Darien. "Tell your sister that she can stop the joke, please Darien!" She pleaded with Darien.

"I'm sorry. I can't say yes or no. We'll just have to ask Raye. Today we'll be going to Ferin Manor to see her." Darien said apologetically.

Serena sighed and looked once more at Lita, hoping to find a small trace of humor that might unveil their prank. She saw none and so with a small nod, she grew serious and stood up.

"Well then, I guess we should go see Raye now!" Serena exclaimed in a forced cheery voice. She then got up and made way to the door. She looked back over her shoulder and urged, "Well? Let's go!"

"We'll be there in a few minutes to take you to Raye's. And, don't worry. We already phoned your home and told one of the servants that you stayed at Raye's. We'll be along in a few. Gather what you have left from your room and then meet us at the bottom of the stairs." Lita said all this with an air of authority. Then as Serena got up off of the chair, Lita resumed her conversation with Darien.

The dialogue that went on between Darien and Lita had been crystal clear, but then soon became nothing but a small buzz at the back of Serena's mind. She didn't know everything there was to Magick, but what she did know was not her idea of romance, love, and happily-ever-after. She thought back to what her father had taught her about Magick. IF Lita was right and Serena was a Sky priestess reincarnation, then that meant that she had a very hard task ahead of her. Serena sighed.

Serena only knew of two Sky priestesses that might have resembled her. One was named Arena and the other was Eena. Both were girls of fair skinned, blonde haired and blue eyed. She just didn't know which one she was. She thought hard and remembered that one had died a horrible death. Arena, I think it was, thought Serena. During those day, rumors had flown around that Arena's beloved, Damian, had been cheating on her with one of the enemies. Then one day, walking through a garden, Arena came upon Damian and a woman kissing. In a fit of rage, she had killed her love with Magick. After a week of lonely depression, she had then thrown herself off a cliff to meet the rocks below. It was said by her sister priestesses that she hadn't been allowed to meet with her beloved at the Onyx Palace, a place where souls who had died harshly were allowed a second chance at life.

Serena remembered the stories that flew around Eena. An evil force that had invaded their land one night had killed her. Eena had watched as the enemy tortured her love. Then in hopes of killing the unwanted entity, she started a spell. But, before it was finished, someone had crashed into her, altering her aim and instead of hitting the enemy with it, she had ended up killing her own beloved. In a state of despair, she went numb and lost all feeling. She died that night after being raped a multitude of times.

Serena knew that somehow, if what Lita said was true, then she had many problems to face. She thought about the life she had 'lived' once upon a time. With a last and final decision, Serena became determined that no matter what, she would win this time. Whatever curses had befallen her before, would not do so this time. She made a vow to herself, then and there, that she would win.

Serena knew how to use Magick and she knew how to handle it. Actually, now that she thought about it, she never really had any problems summoning it or doing what she pleased with it. She sighed as she leaned against the wall over the balustrade. She looked down at the stairs that slowly began to blur. Beneath her feet, the carpet had a small shower as drops of sparkling liquid slipped down the woman's pale face. The tears continued unheeded as Serena made way down the stairs. Her thoughts held only empathy for Arena and Eena. To lose a loved one, whether by force or choice, was always hard. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs and sat upon the last step heavily. She closed her eyes and allowed her mind to shift to a black void. She hoped that whatever tragedy had befallen her in the past, wouldn't do so again.

Serena opened her eyes and rubbed the palms of her hands over them, erasing any traces of tears. She heard the sounds of footsteps above her and a door being shut. Soon, Darien and Lita's voice was heard, as it drifted down the stairs to Serena's ears. She got up and as Darien and Lita made it downstairs. Silently, Serena followed behind them, as they made their way toward the door and out onto the driveway. To Serena's surprise, there was a silver Toyota Celica GT. They piled in, Darien as the driver. He started the engine and they headed off towards Raye's house.
