A blast of wind flew by, the sounds of it howling through the glass windows. Link hugged a blanket around himself and shivered. He stared into large fire built in the fireplace of his home. It was carefully built, to insure that the tree would not burn with the fire. He threw a piece of paper away. He stared sadly and angrily at the burning picture, flinging more. The happy pictures of Princess Zelda quickly caught flame and dissolved into ash. He picked up one last picture, holding it in front of his face, his eyes pricked with tears. Angrily he thrust the picture above the fire, and waited until a corner caught flame. It slowly made its way up, turning the picture into a pile of ash and charcoal. When it had almost reached his fingers, he completely dropped it into the fireplace.

Turning away, a single tear fell to the ground, and he murmured. "How could you do this to me.. Zelda." Then he curled up upon his bed, the blanket wrapped even more tightly around him. He let his weary eyes droop, and finally they closed, entering into the world of dreams. Every night.. It was the same dream. forced to replay the terrible night, over and over again.

The scene was full of fog. In the distance a lone figure stood, calling his name, "Link.. Link." He ran after it, running blindly through the fog, following the sound of his beloved voice. And finally, he reached her, yet now. she was no longer alone. Her eyes held the same purity as always, they were filled with joy at the sight of him.

Beside her stood a young man, slightly older than Zelda. Midnight Blue hair, same color eyes. Tall, broad and handsome.. The envy of any other guy. Zelda, his dove smiled her brilliant smile, seeming to make the fog lighter. Link smiled back in return, a loving smile, always loving. then she gestured toward her friend, and spoke in a happy and naive voice, "Link, I want you to meet my fiancé, Darien..".

The man dubbed Darien extended a hand, a said in a polite, yet to Link a taunting voice, "Nice to meet you, Hero of Time." Link took the hand, and unconsciously shook it; this is when reality turns to dream.

The two, Zelda and Darien, seem to shatter, tiny shards of glass fly everywhere, cutting him, and jagged pieces of glass tear his heart apart. And then he is falling, through the foggy void, then, an endless pit, and from above, watches Zelda and Darien, simply smiling, and waving, hands weaved into each other's. Zelda, a light see through veil over her face,

She is beautiful, gorgeous, in that wedding dress that fits so perfectly on her body. That happy smile always on her face when she saw him. She blows him a kiss, as he reaches out to grab her, but only continues to fall..

Moreover, Darien, merely waves, in his tuxedo, and mouths the words, "She's mine.. Don't think otherwise.". Then he throws, a single white rose.. It falls, along with the Hero of Time. Faster than Link himself, and soon, it is upon him, it hits him in the chest, right through the heart.. Pain consumes his body, his heart cracks, of forbidden love. hate.Church bells ring, the sound of laughter, young maidens giggle and shout, "throw the bouquet" and so, the Hyrulian princess does so. down the pit. at him. A flurry of petals surround him, dozens and dozens of roses fall at him, red, white, yellow, pink. Each one pierces his skin. and his heart shatters. Betrayal.

~In another Time~

Serena tossed and turned in her bed, she wearily opened her eyes. No matter how tired she was, she couldn't sleep. She sat up and looked down at the end of her bed. It looked so empty now. No Luna to curl up on it and get throttled as she rolled around in her sleep. No Luna to scream "WAKE UP!!" at 7:30 in the morning to try to get her to school on time. Luna. wise old Luna. gone. And then she turned to her bed stand, and looked.

There, visible by the moonlight that flowed into her room, stood a photograph. Six teenage girls and a young man stood. There were two blondes, 1 with her hair put up into twin buns on either side of her head. She was wearing a light purple turtleneck tank top, with tight blue jean flares with light blue flames rising up the sides. The other blonde had long hair, almost like the others twin. Her hair was pulled back into a half ponytail, held up by a large red bow. She wore a traditional Japanese school uniform. Then there was a blue haired teen. She had wavy hair cropped just above her shoulders. She wore small glasses, and smiled brilliantly, a white sundress adorned her.

A Raven-haired girl, whose eyes burned with fire smiled and grinned. Though her eyes reflected her bad temper, they held laughter and mirth at the current moment. She wore a white and red miko outfit.

Another girl was a tall brunet. Hair pulled up into a ponytail, with bangs framing her face. She had emerald eyes and wore a white blouse with a brown ankle length skirt.

The man was extraordinarily handsome. A loving smile was on his face as he hugged the two most important girls in his life close to him. The twin bunned blond, and the last girl, a pink haired child with pink eyes. Her hair was pulled up like the blonds except in two cones.

They stood in a group, the man hugging the odangod blond and cotton candy haired, while the two kneeled. The tall on rested her arm over the man from the right side, her free hand placed on the blonds shoulders. The miko had her arm slung over the man from his left; her hand was placed on the child's shoulder. To the miko's left was the blue haired girl; she had her arm wrapped around the miko's waist, and her chin rested on her shoulder. On the other side of the brunet was the last blond. She was leaned into the group, an elbow rested on the blonds shoulder, and her other hand came behind the tall girl in a V sign.

Serena's eyes watered. She didn't want to remember. That's what was keeping her awake. Slowly she named off the people in the picture. Minako, Makato, Raye, Ami, Darien, Rini. at the mention of the last name, the tears came. And a flood of memories returned. ~The last battle, against Dark Pegasus (I'm making this up alright?)

She remembered as one by one, her friends were shot down, all except Pluto and Saturn. And then. down went her beloved. Darien speared through the heart by the horn of the winged nightmare. His (DP's) black coat was flecked with red now, stained with the blood of her friends. And then she saw him charge Rini, and she saw herself run toward her. Rini stared up at her in terror, and soon both the Pegasus and Serena were almost upon her. Serena grabbed her and held her tight, shielding her. Then, she began to flicker away. Before she slipped out of existence and her mothers arms, she saw the horn pierce through Serena's abdomen.

The dark Pegasus withdrew, blood flowing freely from Sere's wound, She stood, bracing herself as pain radiated through her body, she held out her hand, covered with her own blood, and the silver crystal appears. Her traditional princess gown suddenly replaces her fuku, and is quickly stained with blood as well.

The crystal grows brighter, and the dark Pegasus stamps, and begins to withdraw. Suddenly it bursts with light, a whinny of pain is heard through out the night. Children who hadn't been able to sleep, fearing nightmares suddenly found themselves dozing off into a blissful slumber. All the bad dreams began to shatter, and were replaced with the desires of children.

A voice echoed through each and every dream, the voice of Princess Serenity. "The evil dreams will disturb you no more. your dreams is the sanctuary for all innocent people. It is the place where you can go to be alone, or with many. It is where you can be anything you want to be. It is where you can be at peace and not have to remember.. It is your heaven for the living." After that, she didn't remember what had happened.

All Sere knew was that she woke up in her own bed and the were Trista and Taru sitting on the end of her bed, with anxious looks on their faces. They wouldn't tell her what had happened. All she knew was that her other friends were dead, as well as her "soul-mate" and they weren't coming back this time. Her wounds were healed, and though Taru denied it, she had a feeling a certain firefly healed her. A month later the two friends she had left, and to leave, something had happened at the time gates. ~

Serena shook her head of the memories and wept, cried for the ones she lost, and for the part of her own soul that had been brutally ripped away. Soon she cried herself to sleep, and dreamed of the good old days.

Sorry this was so short, and confusing, but I promise the rest will be explained later in the story.!!
