Chapter 6
3 YEARS LATER.
Serena knew that Darien was going to propose soon. She also knew that she was a fool for getting into this position. "If only I hadn't talked to him, I wouldn't be so weak and still love him," she thought to herself as she picked up her instrument. The dreams still hadn't ended and she still woke up crying every night. Every time that she was with Darien though, she could forget the dream. She felt as if the dream was a test for her that she had to get through, so she just took it as it came. She sighed. She knew that it was a test, but she wished with all her heart that it was easier.

Darien decided that at dinner with Serena that night, he was finally going to propose. He was planning to take her out to a romantic dinner out near the sea in the moonlight and propose there. He wanted it to be really special and so he had hired a limousine to take them there. He had picked out the best engagement ring in the store and he had booked the best outside table at the restaurant. He was sure that Serena would love it as she was always admiring the moonlight. "Tonight is going to be the night," he told himself happily.

She dressed up really elegantly for their date. She had a feeling that something strange would happen tonight. Something bad. She wasn't sure what it was, but if Darien proposed she planned to say yes. After all, life's too short to not live as if you'd die the next day. She walked out of the building to where Darien waited and gasped. He was wearing a tuxedo, with a red rose in his pocket. He was standing next to a limousine and as she approached, he opened up the door and offered her the rose. She laughed with delight. "Hi Darien! I didn't know that you were going to all this trouble," Serena exclaimed as she took the rose from his hand. "I do my best," Darien said mockingly, gesturing for her to get into the car. They got in and the driver started to move. The restaurant was a long way away, so Serena and Darien talked while enjoying the comforts of the limousine. SCREEEECH! Went the sound of the brakes suddenly, then they heard a CRASH! And the last thing that Serena thought of was Darien.

Ring, Ring. Ring, Ring. "Hello?" Raye asked, talking into the phone. She heard someone sobbing at the other end of the phone. "Hello?" she asked again, getting a bit worried and impatient. "Raye, Serena- Serena and Darien were on their way to somewhere when-" the voice on the other end of the phone, Lita Raye guessed, stopped as she began to sob uncontrollably again. "What's going on Lita? Are they okay?" Raye asked, knowing that they couldn't be okay if Lita was acting like this. "Serena's in a coma and the doctors don't think that she will wake up soon, or if at all. Darien, well Darien is, Darien died," Lita said quickly and then she began to cry again. Raye didn't blame her. She too began to cry.

Serena seemed to be floating in some sort of dream world place. She couldn't help but think that it was a weird place. She was at a palace in the middle of a huge garden. The thing that was the weirdest though was that if she looked up at the sky, she could see the Earth. "Where am I? I seem to be on the moon, but that's not possible," she thought to herself as she floated down to the ground. "No Serena, it is possible. And the moon is exactly where you happen to be," a tall woman said as she appeared from behind a post. The woman was tall and pale, with white wings coming from her back. Her long almost white hair went down to the ground and her features were a lot like Serena's. "Who are you?" Serena demanded, but somewhere inside herself she knew who the woman was. "Why, I'm your mother, Queen Serenity," the woman announced. Serena wanted to say that it wasn't true, that the woman wasn't her mother, but for some reason, she accepted what Serenity had told her, "I know that you don't know me well, but I know that you know that I'm not lying. You always had good instincts Serena. You are very badly injured on Earth, just about to die, in fact. You can come and live here, with me and you can live. What do you say about that?" "No, I want to go live with Darien. I'm sorry," Serena answered, shaking her head. "Darien has already passed into the world of the dead. He died basically straight away because he had put himself between you and the car to save you. What do you say now?" "I just want to be with Darien. I don't care what happens to me as long as I'm with him," Serena replied, trying her hardest not to cry. "Are you sure Serena?" Serenity asked sadly. "Yes, I'm sure. mother," Serena answered after she had hesitated a bit on calling the woman mother. "Okay, but I'll miss you, my daughter," Serenity said sadly and waved her arm, making Serena go away from the moon and back to her body on Earth.

When Raye arrived at the hospital, she found that doctors were rushing around everywhere. She spotted Lita sitting on a bench in the waiting room and went over to her. Lita's eyes were still red from when she had been crying and she looked like she was about to burst out into tears again. Lita stood up as Raye approached and Raye hugged her. They both burst out into tears again. "I'm not allowed to see Serena, even though family is supposed to be allowed to visit," Lita told her after they had calmed down a bit. Lita was Serena's step sister, so she was family, she should have been allowed to visit. Just then a doctor approached the two women. Lita stood up fearfully. "How is she?" she asked, worry showing in her voice. The doctor sighed. "I'm really sorry Lita, but she died just a few minutes ago," the doctor said sadly and she turned and walked away, leaving the two women behind her crying their hearts out.

Meanwhile, in the world of souls, Serena found Darien and they stayed together forever.
