Amy groaned in realization when she woke up. There was one more question to
ask Queen Serenity, but she was already gone. Why had she really sent
Serena to earth. She could believe in powers each of them were granted from
different planets. She could understand that part of the reason Serena had
been sent to earth was to stop her constant flirting with the princes and
get serious with her life. She could not believe;however, that Serena had
just been sent to earth to find her true love. The queen didn't have an
oracle to tell her this would happen, at least she didn't think. And
anything other than an oracle used for foretune telling would most probably
be unreliable. This one question was frustrating her, she needed to
concentrate on something else.
Something else.thought Amy dreamily, as she drifted off to sleep again. She was remembering the night of the party again. Everyone's cheeks flushed in excitement, almost all eyes on Serena as usual, except for some of them. For one, Prince Drake had had his eye on gaining Amy's heart. Amy bit back tears in her nightmare deju vu as she remembered the next part. Drake asking her to marry him, her politely refusing Drake, her finding herself mesmerized by a moonstone, walking outside. Drake asking where she was going, her not responding, his following her. Then she was attacked by a sort of robot and was being carried off through a forest. She was brought into a laboratory, put in a tube, while she listened to the voices of two people, both familiar. Prince Drake coming after her, running faster, faster, and faster.until it stopped. With amazing speed Drake had caught up to them, he had attacked the robot and saved Amy. He grinned triumphantly as he lifted Amy away to safety. The robot; however, recharged and slid something through Drake's stomach. Drake faltered in his step, looked up one last time at Amy and whispered, "Go." At that time Amy did the only insensible thing she had ever done. She stayed with Drake a moment longer and held his hand, tried to lift him up, and possibly save him. He pushed her away and turned to the robot, with the last of his strength he threw himself at the robot and there was a huge explosion. There was no way he could have survived, no way for her to stay with him. So she ran as fast as her legs would carry her. She pushed past the bushes, not caring that they pulled and tugged at her hair and ripped her clothes. She stumbled across the streets until she found Ray's temple. She told the other's what she knew would be most important to tell them. Then she had passed out.
Amy wiped a few more tears away. She had said no to the only person in her life who had accepted her brains, smart comments, late studying, and all. She had turned him down when he proposed his love. Then he had saved her life and it had been too late.
________________________________________________________________________
Everything was in a blur now, recovering in the hospital, seeing Darien, helping Serena and Darien, into the laboratory, out from the laboratory, time to defeat the enemies. It just went on and on. Now she was worrying about the reason why Serena had been sent to earth, but her memories of Drake had interrupted. She had wondered when those memories would come back to haunt her. The other's still didn't know, surprisingly, they had never asked, but then, they had been busy with their own things. If she told anyone, it would be Serena. Serena was the only one besides her who knew of Drake's previous proposal to her. Only Serena would understand, if she told them what had happened, how much pain it had caused her, and why, now more than ever, she worked so hard. She wanted to concentrate on other things like planning how to escape and defeat, they helped her forget.
Serena snuggled closer to Darien. She felt scared, something had activated the new senses she had gained from the power of the moon. Something was alerting her of something coming. She peered around her till she noticed something odd. Something pink sticking out of the bushes, something that looked like hair. She had never before seen anything like it, anything that color. It was as though something like that didn't belong here. Serena breathed a little more heavily, trying to calm herself. She didn't want to move out from the arms of Darien, no matter what her curiosity. Besides, this scared her. She looked at the bushes again, the piece of hair moved. Serena blinked and closed her eyes. If she wished really hard would it all go away? Serena dared to look once more.
Darien stirred, Serena was uncomfortable, he could tell, so he opened his eyes and took a sharp intake of breath. He sat up, still sleepy and said,
"It's you, then. Could I, by chance know your name?"
"You don't know my name, Daddy?" Rini said, teary eyed.
Darien shook his head sadly, ignoring Serena who had gone wide-eyed.
"And your mommy doesn't know it either," Darien added.
Serena seemed to make a connection from both their eyes upon her and gasped.
"when." Serena started," Did this happen?"
"In the future," Darien explained lovingly, turning to her and taking her hand, he continued, " From an explanation from a future version of myself I learned that we were married and this is our daughter. Diamond, seemingly wanted to change that and his past self created the lab and now since that didn't work he's trying something new, vampires. We have to protect ourselves and Rini, or the future may change."
Serena looked at Rini again and said,
"Is this true?"
Rini nodded then started to leave.
"Hey, where are you going?" Serena shouted, a bit too loudly, some others were waking.
"Away, you don't need me yet." And with that she disappeared, followed by a gleam of white light. _______________________________________________________________________ Rini guided Pegasus further into the forest.
"They don't know me," she cried, "I have to help them and they don't even know me."
Pegasus, took her hand and said sincerely,
"Little lady, do not worry. They will remember you with time and grow to love you. Until then I will stay by your side and protect you."
"Rini squeezed his hand a little and wiped her tears away,
"thank you, Pegasus."
Ray woke up groggily and shook her hair out. She looked at the people around her and quickly woke them all and told them about Mina and Lita. They were all worried now but by noon, had made up and plan and already started towards their Edward, now enemy, with the help of Darien's mind power.
Amy glanced about, her job was to freeze Myra and quickly transport Lita away while the others caused a distraction, she hoped this would work.
Serena was supposed to lure Edward away while Darien hid behind her then attacked, she clutched at Darien, she didn't want anything to happen to him.
Darrien would hide behind Serena then attack Edward, he felt Serena clutch at him and comforted her gently.
Ray would sneak up and attack Diamond if he was there and put a temporary evil leak spell on Mina, then she would meet Amy and the others back at the temple to cure Mina. If there was time, she would also take Edward and cure him as well.
Mina held her head in frustration, the Venus sign appeared suddenly on her forehead and glowed, she knew help was coming and she had to hold on. She weakly smiled and whispered to Lita,
"Hold on, help is coming."
Lita tried to smile back, also weakly and whispered back,
"You hold on too."
Diamond shot a sharp glance at Myra,
"If your plan doesn't work, you know what this means, right?"
"It will work," Myra practically barked, ignoring a blue skirt brushing lightly against her leg.
"You'd better hope so, " Diamond added, crossing his arms, not noticing Ray, crouched down just behind him.
Edward howled in frustration and didn't hear Serena & Darien from behind the table.
Ray silently chanted and then screamed, " Now!"
Everybody flung into action. Myra was thrown and across then room and was unable to move as Ray put a paper on Mina and mumbled another chant. Ami grabbed Mina and Lita and transported them to the temple.
"Fire brat," hissed Diamond and punched her roughly on the stomach.
"Bastard," Ray hissed back, trying to kick, he caught her leg, however and she crumpled to the floor as he flung her across the room.
Edward groaned as Serena attacked Edward with a moon heal, a new power she had just figured out she had. Darien grabbed Edward and Seren said lightly,
"Take him to the temple, I'll meet you there."
"But you." Darien started but was cut off, " I need to help Ray and you have to go to the temple, it's the only way."
Without another word Darien & Edward disappeared and Serena used a healing power for Ray's injuries.
Ray stirred and opened her eyes quickly, "Serena, move out of the way."
Serena ducked as Diamond tried to grab her. Ray chanted a spell on Diamond, but he cut her off and held her by the neck,saying, "bye bye fire brat."
Serena shouted, surprising them both, " No! Let her go!"
Diamond smiled cruelly, "and what would you do about it?"
Serena was thoughtful for a moment, "Take me instead."
"No, Serena!" Ray shouted, but Diamond squeezed her tighter, Ray used her Mars power and burned Diamond's fingers. He cried out and dropped her. Ray went instinctively to Serena, grabbed her hand and they took off running.
Serena stumbled by something pulling at her hair realized it was Diamond. He pulled her against him, his fangs slightly wandering down her neck. "Mine," he purred.
Ray was about to attack when Myra appeared in front of her.
"You were frozen!" ray spat.
"Vampires heal fast, honey," Myra came back.
Darien of the future stood by Serena's side. She stirred and groaned in frustration. He touched her forehead and whispered something in her ear, "I'll share my powers with you, that way you'll be kept safe."
Serena felt a new power enter her, and spoke telekinetically to Ray,
"Go help Mina and Edward first, they're dying Ray, you have to help them."
"No, " Ray said back, remembering what she had read earlier in the fire.
"I'll tell you where I am and you can come and get me. Go help them first."
"Go," Serena yelled aloud.
Ray ran as fast as she could, faster than she had in her life, she had to hurry.
Queen Serenity, watched below and hope was reflected in her eyes. She turned to the other three in the room and said, " I think its time we called them back. Serena will be kept safe from future Darien's powers, as long as she resists Diamond, yet the scouts must be warned, they must come back.
At the temple, Ray tried everything but could not heal Mina and Edward, then, to add to their stress, Queen Serenity had called them all back, with reassurance that Serena was at the moment safe. They would also help with the two friends of theirs who were still vampires. So they all linked hands and were transported back to the moon.
Myra and Edward brought her to another place, but she did not know where. It was dark and Serena was frightened, he had the feeling she was yet on another planet. She sat tied to a bed by strong ropes and hoped ray would hurry to rescue her.
She knew that she was guarded up front of the door by Genkis, a slave by moonstone of Diamond. Even before that was the whole laboratory that Diamond had created. Myra guarded the entrance to all of it. For the moment, she was trapped.
The door opened and Diamond stepped in. Serena sensed his intentions were not good.
"Serenity, you do know that I never make the same mistake twice, right?" Diamond made his voice as sweet as honey, and ran his fingers through her hair. "and yet, we seem to be in the same situation as before."
"No, " Serena whimpered, "Leave me alone."
Diamond said nothing but lightly kissed her forehead and lay beside her, planting butterfly kissed over her face and arms. Serena tried to squirm but the ropes held her too tightly. He whispered in her ear, "There's something about vampires that makes us irresistable, and only the lucky ones get to find out why. Which is why, I've chosen you."
Diamond kissed her furiously on the lips and then Serena's world went black.
Up next: What's up at the moon? What happens to Serena? Other surprises.
