Warning: This is different to what might usually be found in a Sailor moon episode. It is a more, 'adult' chapter so please keep an open mind.. Good luck, and don't fret because she is the hero of the story so nothing too bad will happen to her. I promise. xxx Destiny xxx



Disclaimer: I do not own sailor moon. I wish I did, but then I wish a lot of things, the bottom line is, please don't sue :-)



The icy night air was thick, frost and fog infected everything like a plague. She looked up at the night sky. The stars had vanished and there was no moon in sight. In her nightgown she ran through the deserted streets. House after house she passed, crying out for help, but nobody came. Nobody even peered out from the crack between the curtains and the windows. Suddenly, her toe throbbed with pain. She looked down at her feet. Her toenail had been partially ripped off from the cracks in the cobblestone path. "Cobblestones?" She thought to herself, "Where am I?"

She nursed her toe, still dripping with blood. Up ahead she could see something. Limping with pain she hobbled down the winding path. Cursing on occasion when she bumped into the side of a building, and then ahead of her, she saw it. Sticking out in the middle of nowhere, like an ugly black wort growing out of the ground. A dark castle was rising up from out of the earth. The hair on the back of her neck pricked up, something inside her trembled.

Hesitantly, she was drawn towards it. She felt the castles power, its age, she felt the energy that it was emitting. A Dark energy, an energy that she wanted to harness for herself. She wanted to be closer to the darkness, but each step forward she took was making her want to throw up. She knew it was wrong, but there was something deeper here, something that she couldn't turn away from.

A foul odour filled the air, she dropped to her knees and vomited on the sodden dirt. Behind her she heard a blood curdling noise. The city was screaming, writhing with pain, people everywhere were crying out for help. She turned to get up to help them, but a glass wall dropped in front of her, making her unable to go back. The only direction that she could walk was ahead, towards the dark castle. Suddenly, a ball of light appeared in front of her. "Serena" The ball of light sang, "Serena, do not go there." Serena wiped her face clean. Mud was trapped underneath her fingernails and her hair was tangled around her face. Ahead she saw someone come towards her. A man, dressed in a black silk shirt and a pair of black leather pants. He appeared to float, slowly making his way closer and closer towards her. His face was blurred, but he looked familiar to her.

"Serena," The light sung again. "He is of the Dark world, you must not fight him." The man took a step forward.

"Darien," She gasped, but was enchanted by his looks.

"Serena," The light sung again. "You must not battle him, if you do, you will surely loose."

"Serena," The man whispered and placed his hands upon her muddy face. "Do you love me?" He asked her and stepped closer into her body, pressing himself up against her.

"Don't" The light warned again. "You have a choice, Serena, don't battle him, and don't be with him. You can not win without your powers."

"Shut up," Darien said, and shot a fireball into the light. The light screamed out with pain, before vanishing with one last deafening scream. "Do you love me?" He asked her again, staring deep into her soul.

Serena's knees felt weak, she did love him. She always will, but would she deny him that? Tired and sick she collapsed into his arms. "Yes, Darien." She gazed up innocently into his gleaming sapphire eyes. "I always will love you."

"You are her, you know that?" He asked her. "You are the one who is suppose to kill me."

She paused, the confusion inside her was tearing her apart. "I will never kill you." She whispered, "I love you." She ran her hands through his soft, clean hair and gave him a passionate kiss. "I love you too. I will love you for an eternity, and then longer." His warm kiss seamed to last a lifetime. "You have made your choice" he said and floated her up to the surface. "Look at our worlds my Queen."

In that moment, the Dark moon moved in front of the White moon, "you see that," he said, pointing up into the night sky. Now my people are free from their cage. Now they can rule the world above, and you are their queen. Dark Queen Serenity." He held her tight. Suddenly, monsters burst out from the ground and charged into people's houses. Buildings caught on fire, screaming could be heard in the darkness, the World of light was being destroyed.

"No" Serena cried. "What have I done?" She dropped to the ground and vomited.

"You have saved us." Darien said, looking at all the screaming. "My people are free from their prison." He drew in a deep breath. "Do you smell that my love?" He asked her. "Freedom," He breathed in another lingering breath. "Panic," and again another breath, "chaos."

All of the sudden, one of the monsters spotted Serena and charged towards her, its mouth foaming with blood and saliva.
