Justice for the Moon, Chapter Three
" Yes Serena, I believe your right." I had just shown her through my mind,
the vision of the sorcerer that she gave me, the sorcerer that was
attacking my friends and I and the image of the leader of the Dark
Lunarians' son. "They are the same person. When my father was killed, I
began to digest all that had happened and I had come to the same
conclusion. If you believe it also, then it must be true."
We stared at each other for a while, before I said, "I should be going now, I have to get to a scout meeting and then see my family."
"Serena, please, don't tell them of our double identity. You can't tell them of the Dark Lunarians, we must do this ourselves, get justice, revenge!" She spoke so passionately about it, I couldn't not allow her this. Deep within me, I also knew this was the thing to do. But as I thought about it, I realised that I could not fight the sorcerer, she had trained for years and I was Serena, Serena the klutz. I believe she sensed my fear. "Do not worry, our friends are coming now, they will help us." Even as she spoke, I saw four people entering as I did.
Since defeating Queen Beryl, I had feared that she would come back with the generals. But now, as I see them kneel before my past self and I, the fear has gone. They are the four that I knew on the moon and they were here to help.
They were dressed as the Lords of Earth. The dark green cloaks were almost as black as the night. Underneath their cloaks, I could see the black trousers and the navy blue top. I noticed their swords that hung at their hips. Each glowed with a different pale colour. Lord Malachite's sword had a pale orange tinge to it, Lord Zoicyte had a sword of glowing pale blue, Lord Nephlyte's colour was that of pale green and Lord Jedyte's was a pale red light.
Lord Malachite spoke first, "Princess Serenity, it is our honour that you see us here." He lightly kissed her hand and then turned to me, "We are here to help you fight this evil sorcerer, do not be afraid of us." He also kissed my hand and then stood back. The other three Lords of Earth did the same to both of us.
It felt good to see them again. I remembered their friendship and I really wanted to hug them, I would have done, if had not been for the beeping and Molly's voice calling me back, "Serena, you have to get up now!" I smiled at all of them.
"Time for me to go," my smile was fake though. There was something to Molly's voice that I didn't like. It seemed hurried, even more than usual for her and I sensed fear. Maybe the others sensed it too, I'm not sure, but as I turned, I felt a slight pressure on my arm.
It was Zoicyte, "Serena, we should meet up sometime and train you up again," he voice smiled like his face did. I could tell it was his, 'I'm- gonna-cheer-you-up' face. I laughed and nodded. I would have replied, but I suddenly felt very wet. In a second, I had gone from the beautiful Gardens of Serenity to Molly's room. I smiled as I looked at her, holding a jug of nothing. By the looks of it, she had tried to wake me but it had failed and she had poured water over me as the last resort.
"Serena!" Her voice was frantic, " her mum's been ringing for you." I could look more confused than I did then. How on earth did my mum know I was here? "She's tried everywhere! You were supposed to go home straight away 'cos your supposed to be helping for our trip away to the ice lake!"
Now I remembered, the ice lake trip! My dad's best friend had organised it, we were going in two days, how could I forget! Oh wait! Never mind that! My parents were reminding us this morning, if we were late, . oh I don't even want to think of it! That's why Amy had arranged for the meeting to be at six. So I could get home without getting into too much trouble!
Molly's face was looming over me. I hugged her and then raced out of her house. I had to get to Raye's quickly apologise and then run at the speed of light to mine. Could I make it? I was running pretty fast, dodging people and not knocking into them.
But no, of course I have to bump into someone and of course we go flying across the pavement. I had landed on whoever it was! Opps! "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you, but I have to go now." I mumbled this as I tried to un- tangle myself, but I didn't get very far as I heard laughter from under me. It was familiar along with the voice that came with it.
"Well Meatball Head, I'm used to it!" Darien's face came into focus as I looked down at him. "But you don't have to be in so much of a hurry. It's quarter to six, we have plenty of time to get to Raye's." He wasn't in a hurry, but as usual I couldn't resist being in his arms.
He helped me up and then hugged me. He broke apart from the hug quickly, throwing one arm around my shoulder. I quickly snapped out of my daydream, "Darien, I'm sorry, but I can't go. -"
He, like the others, didn't give me the chance to continue. His arm slipped from my shoulder and he just stared at me, "Serena, you have to be there!" he hissed out, "you're the leader but you don't seem to be interested in the slightest!" He was looking at me with that face that told me he was disappointed in me, but I wasn't in the mood for it. I had had enough with people telling that I didn't care. They weren't in me and didn't know what I was thinking or feeling. But I couldn't release my anger on him.
Not because I didn't want to, but because my dad was there. And he was not happy. On top of the fact that I wasn't at home, I was on the streets, with a boy, Darien no less, someone who was five years older than me! I was dead!
My anger was dying, as it was replaced by fear. "Get in the car." His voice was almost inaudible, as he was tried to control his rage. I did so, with Darien's stare on my back. My dad jumped in the car and drove off like a maniac. Darien was still there as I looked in the mirror, he was completely stunned. A growl from the direction of my father told me what I already knew, I was in mega trouble.
By the time we arrived home, my dad's breathing was heavy. He was still trying to control his anger, but I was afraid. I started playing with my locket that contained the silver crystal. I felt protected but it seemed to infuriate him even more.
We stared at each other for a while, before I said, "I should be going now, I have to get to a scout meeting and then see my family."
"Serena, please, don't tell them of our double identity. You can't tell them of the Dark Lunarians, we must do this ourselves, get justice, revenge!"
