Sparkles of the Past
Chapter#6
Touches of Evil


Not much to say for this one, just hope everyones day is going ok, R & R!




'Tea?!' Darien mind was boggled. Usually the calm and reasonable one of the group, he

wasn't in his element now. With Serena gone and nobody knowing where, the reasonable

part of his brain was shut down and the rest of him was shouting to go find her NOW!.

Anything to have her back in his arms again, but Rae was leaving to get them all tea?! The

only thing saving him from jumping up and shouting that they all start looking NOW was

Reenie snuggled as deep as she could into his lap. As it was Haruka did it for him. Her

blue eyes blazing she addressed the group angrily.

"The princess is gone to who- knows- where and all you can think about is tea!" Michiru

gently pulled her love back down to the ground.

"Tea will help calm us down so that we can all think straight." Setsuna was holding a

young Hotaru in her lap. Haruka looked as if she might disagree but thought better of it

when she met Michirus hard stare.

"It's obvious she is in another dimension, since not even Setsuna can find her, but not in

our time of dimension. Ami saw the huge question marks above everyone's head and

looked to Setsuna to explain further.

"What Ami is trying to say ," Setsuna said stroking Hotarus hair softly . "Is that whatever

dimension Serena is in , it is in another time frame, weather the past or the future.

However I cannot trace her until she shows herself. By using a great power source."

Mina grimaced. "The Silver Crystal." she commented. "Exactly, then we can find her."

Setsuna waited for it all to sink in.

"So, your telling us that we have to sit here and wait?!" Litas eyes sparked with electricity.

Darien was glad that he had kept his mouth shut. he understood now why they had to

wait.

"There's nothing else we can do Lita, except wait until something happens that will cause

Serena to use the crystal." Dariens voice was steady and authoritative. Resigned faces

showed all around and Rae showed up with the tea.

Or did show up with the tea. She dropped the tray and would have fell to the floor if

Nubius hadn't caught her as he was walking in.


"Rae! What's wrong?!" Mina, Ami, and Lita ran to her side. Reenie peeked her head out

at the commotion and noticing her dads stiff stance she glanced up at his face.

"Darien?" she cried "What's going on..." her voice trailed off until one could barely hear

her. She felt a cold ,dark, repulsive feeling creep up her spine, it left her feeling scared and

alone. She was paralyzed with fear. Beside her Darien was feeling the same thing, only his

mind was able to connect all the feelings to get a vague picture. That was all that was

needed though. A murderous rage stole into his mind, the red cloud taking over his body,

quickening his pulse and turning his blue irises turbulent and cold. his mind barely heard

Reenies whispered,

"Papa."

But hear it he did and it snapped him back to reality. Reenie was shaking and her face was

pale and sweaty. Darien didn't know what she had felt but he hugged her closer and

whispered sweet nothings until she calmed down. He noticed that Rae was looking his

way. Her eyes were haunted and a tear slowly made its way down her porcelain cheek.

With her psychic powers he knew that she knew what had happened as well. Lita was

looking back and forth between them, trying to glean out what was happening.

"What?!" she cried.

Her friends tortured expressions were scaring her. Only one thing could have made all

three of them like this and she said it the same time they did.

"Serena."
