Dreams of Destiny
Chapter 3
Chad looked out the window after calling Celine, to look at the one he admired for so long. Her raven hair laid flowing from her head, and many cherry blossoms clung to her long locks. All peace was broken as a harsh wind blew through the cherry blossom trees, Rei stood up and closed her eyes as if trying to read the wind. Chad could tell something was wrong, this wind was much to strong for a spring wind. The wind stopped, and went back to its calming breeze.
Rei's eyes shot open, showing Chad that something was definetly wrong. Then out of nowhere Rei ran to her sandals and slipped them on, then ran to the temple stairs that ended in the main town of Tokyo. Chad was caught off guard as his raven hair beauty ran out of his sight. He ran though the temple and out the door trying to catch up with her. Now I know something is really wrong.' He thought as he stood at the top of the stairs looking down as Rei ran down the steps. She never goes out of the temple grounds in her temple clothes, she never even leaves without getting our chores done unless she asks me to do them.' But his thoughts were shattered as he tried to race after Rei. He tripped down the last 6 steps and ended on the sidewalk laying on his back. Chad looked up just as Rei ran around a corner. He got up, hurting and in pain, after Rei once again.
Rei was always courteous and nice to people if she bumped into anyone, now she plowed though all of them as she ran down the sidewalk. Chad tried to catch up with her as she ran across the street and to a neighborhood of houses. Chad tried to cross the street so he wouldn't lose sight of Rei but it was no use.
When he got to the other side of the street, car horns were honking and people were yelling at him as he went to look for Rei once more. She ran past many houses, then crossed into a small yard of some small apartments. Rei ran to the door as Chad ran behind a car so he couldn't be seen. Rei got to one of the doors and started to pound hard on the door and yelling. What is so wrong that she would be acting like this?' Chad thought still trying to catch his breath.
Makoto! Makoto! Please come to the door! Rei yelled loudly still pounding on the door. The door opened with a very confused Makoto and a bowl in her arms. Rei ran past her and into her house. Makoto still very confused, closed the door. Chad ran to the side of the house to look into the window. Through it he saw both Makoto and Rei looking at the TV. They were watching the news, something about a special bulletin. Why would a TV make Rei act like this? What is wrong?' Chad thought helplessly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei was in a state of shock as she stood in Makoto's living room. After the wind that told her of the evil, she needed to find out what it was doing so close and how close it really was. Rei knew that if she would just find a newcast they would have something that could tell her if what the King and Queen told her was true. She had ran down the temple stairs towards Makoto's house, plowing though people very rudely. She really didn't like doing it but it was for their own good, the faster she found out about the evil the faster they could do something about it.
Rei had ran to Makoto house and started to pound on her door hoping that she was there. Once the door opened Rei had ran into her house and asked Makoto to turn the TV on. None of the things she had done were something she would have normally done. The dreams had taken their toll on her. Then all thoughts were lost when a special bulletin came on, she couldn't believe what as being said.
We are sorry to interrupt your regular scheduled program to give you a special bulletin. All over the western borders of Asia people have caught a sort of disease. Not much is known of this but the people say that it came out of nowhere and then left. It has been found on almost every continent, infecting people who have no background of problems.
It is said that when a person is infected, it can happen at anytime. It takes over their bodies and they black out. When they wake up, they feel light headed. No one has been able to find the reason for this outbreak but doctors have found out after testing the people who had been infected, they seem to have no remembrance of some things. Other studies have found out that when a family member came in with the patient, that the family member remembers an important memory that had meant a lot to both people, but the once infected person has no idea what is being remembered. If you or someone you know has been infected by the mystery infection, don't panic. It has been found out that once the person blacks out all their vital signs diminished. No breathing, or heart beat, but their color stays in their lips. Make sure that you get them checked by a doctor once they wake up to make sure everything is alright. Now we return back to your regular scheduled programing.
Rei had idea what to think. The King and Queen were right. The evil has taken the peoples most prized memories. Their love, their memories all gone and turned to evil.' Rei felt her body tense up, and she clenched her fists. I won't let that happen, I have to stop it.' Then Rei remembered Makoto standing right next to her. She could feel Makoto's confusion and concern. What am I going to tell her?' Rei thought.
Makoto, we need to have a scout meeting right away. May we have it here, since we are already here? Rei said trying to say it as nice as she could muster.
Yeah Rei, sure. Makoto said confused. But something in Makoto made her not ask what was wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chad starred though the window and saw Rei's body tense up as she watched the TV report. He didn't even care what was being said on the TV, he was worried about Rei. What is so wrong Rei, I want to help.' Chad thought. He walked in front of the small house, trying to figure out what to do. Should I go and ask her? That is what Celine would want me to do. But then Rei will get mad at me for following her.' But the thought left as a large screeching filled the air. A large falcon flew in the sky, and started to swoop down towards Chad. In its talons held a red flower that he had never seen before. The flower was dropped in front of Chad. Then the bird flew off into the sky once more. Chad picked up the flower and smelled its pure scent. Then he fell down to the ground in a sleepy dream.
Chad opened his eyes to find himself in front of a palace. A large palace, with jewels seeming to be scattered upon every wall. It towerd over him, as he got up off the ground. He walked into the castle, and heard music that echoed though the large hallways. Chad listened and followed the light music notes until he came to two large golden doors that had rubies placed into them. He moved the large doors to reveal a large ballroom, filled with people of high class. All of them in costumes of beautiful animals he had never seen before. The music was being made from a large orchestra that took the back half of a large stage at the far end of the room. They stopped their music and started a new tune that filled his mind. Then the Princess from his dream came to the front of the stage. She wore a Phoenix custom, with a red dress and beautiful wings of silk. She wore a mask over her eyes and her hair flowed around her. She smiled strait at him in the crowded dance floor and then looked out to everyone else around him.
I would like to dedicate this song to a friend that means more to me then he knows. The Princess said smiling.
I've waited all of my life
For the day when love appears
Like a fairy tale in days gone by
He will rescue me from my fears
The words flowed though her mouth in a beautiful rhythm. The words seemed to tell of what she really felt as she put all her heart into her song.
And now I feel him standing close to me
And how can I tell him what he means to me
My heart stands still --- has he come?
Oh starry night
Is this the moment I dream of?
Oh starry night
Tell me, is he my own true love?
The Princess kept making eye contact with Chad, as he looked at her beauty. She would smile everytime she set eyes on him, and he couldn't help but smile also. Her emotion enhanced the words to the song as she kept the words flowing though the large ballroom.
Every night I think of him
Here in my lonely room
Waiting for my prince to come
Wondering if he'll be here soon
And I sit patiently, waiting for a sign
And I hope that his heart longs for mine
He calls my name, is he the one?
Oh starry night
Is this the moment I dream of?
Oh starry night
Tell me, is he my own true love?
Oh starry night
Is he the one that I dream of?
Oh starry night
How will I know
Will his love show?
Is he my own true love?
The Princess ended her song and took a bow as the room roared in clapping. She smiled at everyone and thanked them. The orchestra started again with another song, as she walked down the step of the stage. Through the people, Chad could see that she was being mobbed by people telling how wonderful she was. I wonder if I could go see her.' He thought as he tried to get though the people that started to once more dance. The group around her faded as a new song started. He could see she sat down on the side of the stage looking at the other couples dancing. He finally got throught the people, and to the Princess that sat by herself.
This is no way for a Princess to be enjoing herself during her own party is it? Chad said. I don't think I am in control of my body.' Chad thought. The Princesses eyes were sad until they met his.
I am so glad you came, I didn't think you would make it. The Princess said.
Me? Missing your singing? Never! Chad laughed. This is so strange, I have never not had control of my body before. I guess I shouldn't fight it.' He thought. The Princess laughed a little and her smile enhanced her looks. The mask that she wore, didn't dim the sparkle from her beautiful purple eyes.
Oh, sorry Princess. He said bowing before her. Where are my manners? Chad said as he kissed her hand. Will you do me the honor of dancing with me? But no words were needed as she stood up and took his hand. They went out into the dance floor as the music changed to a slower tune. She put her hand around his neck and her other hand into his.
Something in Chad's mind was screaming as him, telling him he was suppose to only love Rei. But a different feeling filled him, something he had never felt before. It was deep within him, and was telling him that Princess was his love. All thoughts were broken as their eyes met. The warmth he felt was like nothing he had every imagined before. The Princesses love and sparkle seemed to transfer into his being. She then placed her head on his chest, and the dancing continued. This feels so right, as if I am suppose to be doing this.' Chad thought in confusion.
Her hair smelled like a beautiful flower that he couldn't name and her hand was smooth and soft. He was in perfect harmony with her, and she was with him. The song stopped and the Princess lifted her head off his chest.
I wish this never had to end, until we met again. The Princesses face faded away.
Chad, Chad, are you alive? Chad? A voice echoed through his mind. Chad? He is moving. The voice said. Chad opened his eyes to see a blurry figure.
Chad, are you all right? The voices owner became more apparent, short black hair, and bright blue eyes starred at him.
Chad whispered.
Yes Chad, are you ok? What happened? Darien asked.
I don't know, all I know is I was worred about Rei and tried to see what was wrong. Then I was going to figure out what else to do, when I saw a falcon. It dropped a flower and then everything went black.
A falcon? I wonder........ Anyway I am glad I came when I did, you look like you got hit by a car or something. Darien said as he looked at Chad's clothes. Chad looked down for himself to see he was dirty and some of his temple clothing was torn. Probable when I fell down the stairs.' Chad thought. But his thoughts were broken when he saw his raven hair beauty come out of the small green house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei's mind whirled with thoughts. I must tell the others about my discovery.' She thought. Rei looked at Makoto, and she knew what to do. They both took out their communicators to contact the others. Rei pressed the all call button' and breathed deeply trying to get ready to tell her friends. Ami's face and Minako's faces were seen, but Usagi's wasn't.
Where is Usagi? Rei asked. But it was answered once her face was seen. She had food in her mouth and on her face.
Wat dyou ant re? Usagi yelled.
Ami asked.
Sorry, what do you want Rei? Usagi said as she tried to stuff the rest of her dinner in her mouth. Rei breathed in to clear her mind.
We need to have a scout meeting, it is very important. It will be in Makoto's house tonight. Come as soon as you can. Rei said in a stern voice. The others were silent, noticing Rei's voice was serious.
Would you like use to bring anything? Ami asked.
No, just get over here as soon as you can. Rei said in urgency.
Do you want me to tell Darien? Usagi said clearly. All of the girls were caught off guard at such a smart question.
Yes Usagi, he needs to know this too. Rei said.
We will come as soon as possible. Minako said. Then all of the scouts turned off their communicators. Rei looked at Makoto once more.
I just wanted to thank you again for letting us use your house, this meeting might take a while.
No problem, I'm going to start some food then. Makoto said as she walked into her kitchen. Rei's mind started to wonder, and so did her eyes. She starred at the TV once more, then out the window. Movement caught her eyes, Chad and Darien. What are they doing here!' She yelled in her mind. Rei ran outside to see Chad was on the ground with his clothes all ripped and stained. Darien was kneeling in front of him on the ground.
What is going on here!? Rei asked.
I was driving by when I saw Chad on the ground. He said he blacked out. Darien tried to say calmly.
Chad what are you doing here? Were you following me again? Rei's eyes starred at him. But she wasn't really worried unless he heard anything that was said in Makoto's house.
Chad hung his head down. Yes Rei, I was following you. He said looking down at the grass he was sitting on. I was just worried about you. Chad whispered. Rei felt as if she just hit a brick wall. She was being so cruel to him, and the only reason he was following her was to see if she was ok. I can't let off on Chad yet. Not until I tell the others about what is wrong.'
Worried? Why would Chad be worried about you Rei? Darien asked. Rei looked up from Chad, and got up off her knees. She took Darien by the arm away far enough so Chad couldn't hear what was being said.
We are having a scout meeting in a little while, it is very important. Chad was worried about the way I was acting about the news I found out about. But you will find out what it is when the other girls come. You might as well stay here until they come. Rei whispered.
Alright Rei. Darien said in a low voice. The day seemed to turn to dusk as Darien walked into Makoto's house. Then Rei's attention was put back on Chad, who was still on the ground.
Do you think you can make it back to the temple Chad? Rei asked. Chad got up off the ground and brushed himself off.
Chad paused. Rei, I am still very worried about you. What is so wrong that you would be meditating late in the night, and running to your friends house in your temple clothes? Rei was surprised at the question, Chad never asked her such questions. Then she noticed she was still in her temple clothes.
Chad, I wish I could tell you. But I really don't have much of an idea myself. I thank you for caring about me though. She was amazed at how much he thought about her comfort. And I might not be back at the temple until late.
I am sorry for following you, I'll see you in the temple later. Chad bowed his head in respect, then started down the lonely street to the temple. Rei looked helplessly at Chad walking by himself as the sun went out of sight. Life will be changing, I can't have any thoughts of a relationship. Anyway, he has Celine.' Rei thought. Behind her she could hear the sound of a skateboard gliding down the sidewalk. She didn't even need to turn her head to know who it was, Celine was the only one she knew that had a skateboard.
Hey girl! What is going on! Celine laughed as she skateboard next to Rei. Then she saw Chad's shadow walking down the street towards the temple. What happened? Celine asked.
Why? Wouldn't you know what is bugging Chad? You are with him all the time anyway! Rei said harshly. She turned without making eye contact with Celine and walked towards Makoto's house. Leaving a bewildered Celine wondering what just happened. Rei heard the sound of her skateboard roll away, and down the street towards Chad. Rei turned to watch her leave and chase after him. That is one thing I don't miss since these dreams and visions have come to me, being so mean to people.' Rei sighed, and looked around to see her friends walking down the sidewalk towards her. There faces didn't show any emotion, except concern. Each girl made eye contact with Rei, but were all silent. Their footsteps were the only noises made.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chad hung his head down as Rei's friends house disappeared behind him. The dream or vision that he had experience before Rei got mad at him haunted his thoughts. I can't believe I followed Rei, now it will take along time to get her to tolerate me again.'
There you go again, stop putting yourself down. She doesn't always deserve the worship you give her you know. A voice said behind Chad. He turned around to see the shadow of Celine, some feet away from him. Chad knew not to even ask how she read his mind.
Sorry Celine, I just can't believe how mad I made Rei be at me. I did something I knew I shouldn't have done to Rei, and now she won't speak to me for weeks! Chad yelled out of frustration.
Oh don't worry about her Chad, she will forget what you did amazingly enough. She has other things on her mind right now. Celine laughed. She'll come around, just give it a little time. She said as she skateboarded away.
How does she do that? I talk with her all the time and yet she is still so mysterious. Chad said as he turned back toward the direction of the temple. Even when Rei hates me, I still can't stop thinking about her.' He thought. Then the dream of the Princess entered his mind once more. She really seemed to like me a lot, and she seemed so perfect. Maybe she is the once I should love.' But as soon as that thought came though it left again. No, Rei is the only girl for me. Even if she hates me, I can win her heart someday. And I will wait for that day to come.' Cars went down the street, and people scattered the sidewalks. The temple was in sight as the street lights came on down the streets of Tokyo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The streetlights turned on as all the girls silently went into Makoto's living room. Darien and Makoto were already seated when all the girls came. There was warm food steaming on the table in front of them all, but no one touched it. Before Ami closed the front door Luna and Artemis ran in. Then Rei breathed in a bit getting ready to tell them what has been haunting her thoughts.
Thank you all for coming, it means a lot to me. The reason I have asked you all here today, is because I think I have found out about a new enemy. I found out in one of my fire readings, and it isn't good. Rei paused and looked at their faces. I do not know it's name but it was from the Silver Millennium. What is does is take memories closes to people, and love that has been their stronghold, and turn them into their own power, making it evil. What it did was follow behind the Negaverse when it came to destroy our solar system. When the Negaverse came to attack, the enemy didn't attack, it took the pickings of that Negaverse work.
Once the Negaverse took the Moon Kingdom and Queen Serenity sent us to the earth for safety, the enemy followed behind. Once the Negaverse was destroyed, the enemy came to took for the Royals that were on earth. That is why they are looking for us now. Rei felt emotion pour out of her friends, as the past was being remembered. It has been looking almost everywhere, but it hasn't looked in Japan, or much of Asia for that matter. This is why I came to Makoto's house, to see what was happening. It has been found that is started with America, then started to move east. It just started to look in the western boarders of Asia. The newscasters say it is like a disease, it takes a human body and kills it. But everyone who has had this happen to them live again after 4 or 5 hours. All the people who had this happen to them say they don't remember anything, and that a memory that was close to their heart was gone. But the Royals are a different story.'
She paused once more, to see all the girls hanging on every word she said. The reason for the enemy coming to the earth is to find the Royals and kill them. They want to take over the solar system for themselves and start a new universe. But if they don't kill us, they know that we can come up against them. That is why they are searching for us. Once they find us, I am not sure what will happen. Rei said sadly. She sighed and then looked up to see what her friends thought about it all. Everyone was worried all except Usagi.
Couldn't we just use the Imperial Silver Crystal? Usagi asked. It has always worked before.
The King and Queen in my vision told me it wouldn't be enough. That I would have to channel some kind of power from the past and the present. But that I had to channel it with someone else also, but I don't know who. Rei said.
King and Queen? Luna asked.
Yes, in my vision I saw them on two large throwns. They wore red, with gold trimming. They had golden crowns that had rubies placed into them. The King had black hair, and seemed very mighty. The Queen was very beautiful, with a long red flowing dress, and black hair with light highlights. Rei struggled to remember.
And you don't remember who they are? Luna asked
Am I suppose to? Rei asked. Luna looked at Artemis, and he gave a nod.
Rei, I believe they are you parents from the past. Luna said.
