Prisoner of Love
Chapter 5
Serena slowly regained consciousness by the feel and smell of damp grass under her whole body. She opened her eyes but had to immediately close them due to the brightness of the sun. After adjusting to the bright environment, Serena sat up and looked around at her surroundings. In front of her was that all familiar blue lake that she and her true love had spent countless evenings starring at the bright moon's silvery reflection on top of the glassy water and in the distance, the noticeable Tokyo Tower. Her heart jumped for joy, she was home!
The blonde just sat there absorbing reality until she noticed that the sun beginning to set quickly and she didn't want to be alone in the dark.
Serena got up but immediately lost her balance as a sharp pain shot through her legs. She tried once more to no avail. Serena picked up a nearby branch and used it to support herself. She slowly and steadily got to her feet trying to ignore the pain. She made up her mind and decided to make her way to Rei's having the feeling that everybody else was there.
It took Serena much longer than usual to get to the temple due to her having to take short breaks to rest every so often. The sun was no longer in the sky and it was now replaced by a brilliant full moon. Serena was relieved when she came up to the stairs leading up to the peaceful temple.
When Serena finally reached the top of the endless stone steps and was at the doorway of the temple. At first glance she thought that nobody was home until she noticed four girls and an exhausted looking Darien sleeping in various parts of the room. She gazed at their sleeping figures, and they at peace.
Tears began to fill in her crystal blue eyes, now that it truly hit her that she was home with the people that she loved most. She limped over to Darien and brushed back some of his raven hair, and lightly kissed him on the forehead. She wanted more than to be in his embrace, but she didn't want to wake him. He looked like an angel, but he wasn't in a deep sleep like she thought.
Darien's eyes slowly opened and his eyes grew wide at the sight that was in front of him.
Serena threw her arms around him and began to cry tears of joy.
"Serena!?" He returned the hug. This woke up the girls and they all ran to her side and joined the hug.
After a few minutes of tears shed Darien broke off and looked at Serena to make sure that it wasn't a dream.
"Serena, I am so sorry, I wasn't there to protect you and I promise that I won't let anything happen to you again."
"Darien" She jumped forward to comfort him but screamed as her legs shrieked in pain, and fell to the floor.
"Serena!" All the girls screamed at once.
"Serena, are you okay?" Darien asked concern in his eyes.
"I'm...fine" Serena whispered more tears forming.
Darien clenched his fists, anger beginning to course through him, he hated to see her suffer and she has tried her hardest from showing it that it was tarring him apart.
"Serena... please!!! What did that asshole do to you!?" Darien exclaimed. "I am sorry. I hate to see you hurt." He continued trying to hold back the tears.
Serena didn't know if this was the best time to explain, she wanted to be around the people she loved the most, but something deep inside her felt as if it was missing 'Rini' she thought 'I promise that I will set you free.'
Amy understood Serena uneasy expression and understood. "Guys, I think that we should leave Serena to explain what happened when she is up to it." The girls nodded in agreement.
The blonde felt the tears come back and she was so happy to have such good friends.
Serena cuddled up to Darien finally feeling at peace and never wanted to let go, and she would tell everyone when she felt ready.
After about half an hour of sitting in silence, Serena looked at her friends concerned faces and decided to explain what she knew leaving out a few minor details (in other word's Diamond). So she stated with everyone's full attention.
"So you say that you saw Rini, and that she is there in the palace?" Lita asked
Serena quietly nodded.
"Serena? We understand if you don't want to tell us, but what did Diamond want from you, you have been avoiding it since your first meeting." Mina asked through concern referring to the many bruises on her legs.
She took a deep breath and made up her mind to get it all off her chest even thought that Darien wouldn't take it too well. "Diamond wants the silver crystal and with it he will be able to take full control of everything and since I am the only one who is able to use it, he wanted to use me as a tool to destroy Earth."
As Serena had expected Darien was too happy, he slowly got up and walked out of the room, she got up to follow him when her legs once again cried due to pain but she ignored it and went to be with her one and only.
Outside, he was taking out his anger on a nearby tree, by using it as a punching bag.
Serena walked up to him trying to not make her presence known, with success she but her arms around his waist. Startled Darien jumped but completely relaxed. He turned her around and gazed into the most beautiful blue eyes that he had ever set his own on.
The handsome raven haired man leaned over and passionately kissed his goddess which lasted minutes until each lung had to gasp for air.
"I love you" Serena whispered.
"I will always love you Serena."
I am really sorry but I am going to end the chapter off right here, I apologize if that was a little too mushy for you action types, but the story is not over yet. As I said before any suggestions will greatly help improve the quality of the story. I will try to update as soon as I can but with school and other activities it can be a little hard. I would like to thank my bud chabichou, if it wasn't for her I would still be stuck!!! Also thanks to all those who have reviewed so far! You rock!!!!! Remember to review cause I really like them!!!
