Chapter 2: Escape from the Truth : Destiny Forgets
Disclaimer: Sailormoon does not belong to me.
AN: Hey! I wrote this chapter and posted up in a short while before the first one was posted. Cool aint it? Don't worry I'll try not to take longer then a week to post because I know how annoying it is for me. It's one of those chapters that wont be too exciting but will lead to a very GOOD one. Thanks to all who reviewed, I really appreciated it!
Serena woke up with the sky lightly darkened. The sun was about to come up. She forced her stiff and aching body to sit up. Suddenly she remembered what had happened and what she was doing there.
A small tear rolled down her cheek. She didn't bother to wipe it away and got up slowly, feeling a pain between her thighs which was evidence of what had happened to her.
She started walking, being somewhat unaware of the people around her, absorbed in her own thoughts. Should she tell the other scouts? No, she couldn't. The shame would be too much to bare. She considered going to a doctor but the thought left almost as soon as it had come to her. Telling her loyal cat Luna was not an option. She trusted her cat but she felt that if she did tell her, she would tell the scouts who would probably make her go see a doctor who would probably then make her tell her parents and the list goes on.
'That's it' she thought to herself as she reached for the door knob of her house 'I won't tell anyone'.
She entered her warm cozy house and found her mom in the kitchen, who was cooking breakfast. The blue haired woman turned around and was a little startled to see her daughter standing there.
"Where have you been Serena?" She asked not sounding too angry.
"I was at Molly's House, I fell asleep doing the project for school" Serena lied giving a fake smile. Her mother laughed at her daughter knowingly, too occupied in her cooking to notice or suspect the truth her daughter was trying to hard to cover up.
"Go wash up for school, Serena" Her mother said while putting some plates on the table. Serena nodded and headed up stairs. She got to her bedroom and saw Luna sleeping on her bunny blanket covered bed.
Serena took off her clothing and started a hot bath. She got in, and for some reason, at that exact moment, she started crying. It seemed as if whenever she was upset, she would let it out all in the bathtub. Maybe it was the fact that the water made her tears come more heavily, or the sound of the shower would block the sound or her cries, so no one will hear her. Whatever the reason she burst into tears and started speaking to herself.
"How could he do this to me?" she hiccupped. She repeated this a while before the soothing steaming hot water seemed to take her energy, until she was too tired to cry. To tired to think.
She laid back her head breathing in the steam that calmed her soul. Today she would fight Queen Barrel. Yesterday, the scouts and herself had found the passage to the negaverse. She would make Barrel pay for what she did to her Darien. She had made him cold hearted and evil. So evil, that he would do something as to…rape…her. She shook the thoughts of what Darien had done away and focused on the upcoming battle.
Princess Serena opened her eyes slowly. She had defeated Queen Barrel. With the help of her friends of course. She fell to the ground, her fellow scouts and the two cats surrounded her. They all smiled and congratulated her for beating Queen Barrel.
Sailor Jupiter carried a fainted Prince Darien with the help of Sailor Mars. Each had an arm around their necks. They dropped him beside Serena who jumped and stood quickly. She looked away from them all. Seeing Darien hurt her right now. Although he was in control of the negaverse at the time… It still hurt.
"Serena…" Venus said her arm lightly touching her shoulder. Serena's Face grew hot as a couple of tears rolled down her cheeks freely.
"What's wrong?" Mercury asked her long time friend. Serena sniffed and gave a mournful smile.
She thought of telling them for a second, but she decided against it. "I'm…" Serena sniffed "Just glad its over" She wiped the tears away with her arm leaving her eyes looking like shiny glass.
Her back was still turned towards them, knowing that if she looked into their eyes, her own eyes would betray her and tell them something was indeed wrong.
"Scouts" Luna said sternly, "Me and Artemis have decided that you girls deserve to live a normal life". All the girls looked at Luna except Serena who still listening to her words.
"In order for you to live the normal life you deserve" She paused, "We've decided to brain wash you."
They all gasped and were quick to complain. Mars was the first, "But what if the negaverse comes back?" She argued.
"We will be able to bring all of you back if you were ever needed again." Luna looked at all the stunned girls. "This is for you."
Serena turned around and looked at the scouts but not directly in their eyes "This'll be great you guys. We will finally be able to be normal teenagers."
"Will we remember each other?" Mercury asked. The other girls nodded as if to back up her question and Luna looked down.
"No" she said flatly. The girls argued a bit while Serena was lost in her thoughts. The thought of not being able to remember anything about being a scout excited her a bit. She wouldn't remember the rape which was the most important thing right now. No night mares or having to worry about any damage. She would be able to look at her Darien the same again.
"I'll do it" Serena told Luna. Luna nodded and looked at the other scouts who relentlessly gave in agreeing that they too, will be brain washed.
The crescent moon on Luna's fore head lit up as the black cat opened her eyes. Sending a strong light towards each of the girls forehead, the brainwashing process began. All the scouts began to look as if they were going to fall asleep any moment. Finally, the beam from Luna's forehead stopped and each of the girls fell into a peaceful sleep.
Luna looked at Serena a bit suspiciously. She felt as though she were hiding something. She shook the paranoid thought away and teleported all the girls back into their beds.
She sighed victoriously. "Tomorrow… They will wake up as if they never knew anything" She smiled to herself 'At least I was able to give them a happy rest of their lives.'
Luna jumped on top of the bed and curled up next to Serena going into a peaceful sleep, which would be the last one she would have in a long time.
