Justice for the Moon, Chapter Six
Well, I had an argument with my family and then I left . after the crystal
got smashed." My voice grew quieter as I remembered what had happened.
"The crystal got smashed?" Luna's voice wavered as she spoke.
~ * ~
"Yes it did." I was trying to be strong; crying couldn't help me, not for the barrage of attacks and insults that were about to be thrown at me.
"SERENA, HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID AS TO ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN?" Luna was in shock, but her voice was loud.
"SERENA!"
"HOW COULD YOU BE SO DUMB? I KNEW WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE ALLOWED YOU TO LOOK AFTER IT PROPERLY, YOU'RE ALWAYS FALLIGN OVER, SO WHY SHOULDN'T THE CRYSTAL SMASH?"
The looks and words that poured through to me hurt, but Darien killed me.
"Serena, I thought you at least had some brains as to be careful with the Imperium Silver. I didn't think you would be stupid enough to help in its destruction. How can you expect us to deal with this new enemy? He's strong and now we don't have the crystals protection."
"Oh no Darien, no of you ever had its protection. It wasn't a tool of protection, but battle and sacrifice. You don't understand, none of you do. But don't worry, I won't get in your way anymore, have my communicator. I have no use for it now." My voice was quiet and I don't believe they cared about the pain in it.
Darien had destroyed me.
I handed Raye the communicated, she being the nearest to me. "Have fun being leader." I remarked to her, "it's not the greatest job in the world." I turned to the black cat, "Oh and Luna, you might as well stay here and try to make Raye into the leader that you wanted me to be, or you can go to the house of the Tsukino's, I'm sure you'd still be welcome there."
And then I left. Left the scouts, left the man I love, left the world that I have grown into, left people that I thought cared for me.

As I continued to walk, I could feel the confusion coming from the temple, but they didn't give me the chance to explain, so why should I.
No matter how hard I tried, though, I couldn't bring myself to blame them for everything. They had managed to stay friendly with people outside of our group, they managed to get decent grades, and they kept whatever family they had. Being a scout had changed my life, but not for the worse. I had been given the chance to have a group of friends that I knew I could trust with my life. I had access to memories of love and how to be graceful and reasonably smart. I had the chance to do all this and protect people, but I had thrown it all away, because I . was trying to protect the world.
I smiled as I walked, they had always been loyal and this was only brought on by my un-organisation and the stress and strain of a new enemy. I didn't blame them for acting the way they did, she I forgave them, but I wasn't about to go and say, 'oh by the way, I forgive' now was I?
~ * ~
But with that out the way, I was faced with a problem. Where was I to go? I couldn't go 'home', the scouts and Darien were mad at me. Molly's was an option, but I'd rather not. I could always . no, where could I go?
Wherever I would go, I would need clothes, so I started making my way back to where I had lived all my life in this millennia. I was a few streets away when I nearly walked into Molly and Melvin.
"Serena, what did you do?" Melvin asked me.
"Yeah, your parents are sating that you no longer live there and could we give you these." Molly said while indicating a plastic bag.
"What's in the bag?" Knowing full well what was in the bag, I still asked.
"Some of your clothes, books, pictures and a box." Molly answered. "What happened?"
Well they were going to find out anyway, "Well you see they aren't my real parents, I'm an orphan. And well they don't like the way I act; they think I'm setting a bad example for their son so they told me to leave. And I did."
"You're an orphan? Wow, wait till everyone hears this," strange, I always thought it was the Queen of Gossip and not the King Of Gossip.
"MELVIN! Shut up! Serena, where are you gonna go? I would say mine, but there's no room with all the decorating that's going on in the shop."
"It's ok Molly, I have somewhere else in mind," not exactly truthful, but I didn't want to worry her.
"Oh . are you staying with one of your other friends?" She looked sad.
"No Mol, I'm not. In fact, I'm not even counted as their friend anymore."
"WHAT!?!?!" Melvin cried and I thought I was loud.
"Serena, what are you on about? Oh wait, let's think about this, you just don't want to introduce me to them, is that it? Am I really that bad? Well Serena, I've been your friend for ages, but you've really hurt me! C'mon Melvin, let's leave the dimwit on her on, she doesn't want our friendship!" Molly marched off, leaving but me and Melvin looking thunderstruck, but her followed after her, leaving me alone.
Well I've had a good day!
"The crystal got smashed?" Luna's voice wavered as she spoke.
