Become one of them? Every bit of me, every part of me that was a Senshi wanted to say no! It wanted to fight back, to show them what I was made out of. But the other part of me was tired. I saw my life again as a normal teenager and I wanted to forget. I didn't want to be Princess Serenity anymore. I just wanted to let that part of me go. I just wanted to say Serenity died with Endymion on that fateful night. I wanted to say that Serena- no- Usagi Tsukino was born. Some normal girl who didn't fight the evils of the Universe. Who was normal. Could that be possible?
I looked at Edmund's dark eyes. The colour reminded me of Darien. My heart ached. I couldn't just forget it.
"What's stopping you?" he asked.
"Serenity," I said, "I just want to let go. Leave. Not be Serena anymore." I was crying again. Heki rolled her eyes.
"My Prince, we have the Inner and Outer Crust. We have Endymion's power. Just kill her."
"My mother never saw the potential this girl has. Usagi?"
"Make me forget… I don't…" Edmund grinned and placed his hands on her face.
"Relax."
****Hotaru*****
I reappeared in the park. I wasn't transformed. Chills shuddered through me. Something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong.
"Become her Light within her darkness, Dosei Hotaru!" I began to walk through the park. I had no clue where I would find Serena. I knew I had to. I had to. I looked around and saw that everything was the same. Around the corner I saw Molly. I ran up to her.
"Molly!" I cried. She looked at me.
"Do I know you?" she asked. Molly and I weren't friends. I actually only talked to her a couple of times but she knew who I was.
"Molly Baker, it's me. Tomoe Hotaru! Where is Ser- Usagi?" I demanded. I had no time to waste. I could feel the power of Saturn rush through me.
"I don't know you." Molly said shortly.
"I am a friend of Usagi's! Just tell me where she is!" I commanded. I didn't have time to waste.
"Tsukino Usagi has no friends besides me. You must be a liar." My Saturn sign flashed for a second. Anger flooded me; I needed to find my Princess. Molly took a step back.
"What are you?" she whispered. I closed my eyes for a second; she had seen the sign.
"I am a friend of Usagi. She is in trouble."
"Her… delusions… how did they become real?" I totally broke my character.
"Damn it Molly! I don't have time! Where is she?" I cried. I could feel the darkness more strongly around my Moon Princess and my own fear began to grow. I didn't have the time. I couldn't fail Serenity again.
"She's at work…" Molly stammered.
"Where?"
"I… I don't know!" then Molly high- tailed it out of there. I sighed. Where was my Princess?
"Serenity…" I whispered into the quickly fading day.
****Usagi*****
My eyes opened and I felt a hand caress my face gently. I looked who it was and I didn't recognize the face.
"Who are you?" I asked. The man smiled. He had dark hair and deep navy blue eyes. He was really handsome.
"I am Edmund… Usa- chan? Do you know remember?" he asked me. I shook my head.
"I don't… remember you. Where am I?" I sat up. The room was dark, with only candles lighting it. I was in jeans and a turtleneck but I wore no socks or shoes. Edmund looked upset and cupped my face with his hands.
"My love, do you not remember? You honesty have no recollection of me?" he asked sincerely. I nodded. He looked away.
"I'm sorry…" I whispered.
"I was your fiancée until you broke up with me. I don't know why… then I found you again."
"Uh?"
"You were knocked out on the street… it looked like your friends beat you up."
"My friends?" Memories of eight girls flashed through my mind. Lita… Mina… Hotaru… "Why? I don't understand." Edmund kissed me and told me to relax. He told me that my ribs were broken and he felt that it would be better if I rested. I nodded and laid down again. Edmund…
"Edmund? Why don't I remember you?" I asked.
"Because of those girls! It must be because of the beating… you must have smacked your head. Do not worry. I'll took care of you." I closed my eyes. Safe. I would be safe. I could tell that was a feeling I hadn't felt in a long time.
***Hotaru***
I hurried down the street.
"Hotaru?" I heard a weak call. I stopped and looked around me. Amy limped over to me.
"Ami!" I cried and hugged her fiercely, "What happened? Why are you here?"
"They released us… did they change the world? Nothing is the same." she whispered. I nodded, crying now. The others walked up. The others walked up to me. They each looked terrible and weak.
"Where is Koneko?" Amara demanded. I looked away.
"I don't know… come. Let's go somewhere and I'll fill you in."Author's Note: Urg, that has to be the shortest chapter on the planet and I say sorry. Major writer's block but I had an idea! I would like to thank all my reviews and especially the other who gave me the idea... I'm sorry I'm not mentioning you're name but I'm not online *stupid dial-up* and I have forgotten to write your name down. *please forgive* Anyway... I have no clue when I am going to update next... actually right now I am suppose to be finishing up my English homework... yuck! I will try to add the second part of this chapter... soon... but I am working hard on my other story *plug* Not A Lie... so I'll try my best. Okay... later! -blackflame
