Chapter Three
2002-America
Serena scanned the letter before her, she frowned before setting it down.
Dear Serena,
We had heard rumors about a renegade vampire somewhere in South America, but when we arrived all traces where gone. A few villagers told tales of a pale goddess who visited during the night, taking the life force from their sleeping children. Some said the goddess had long pale pink hair others said it was silver. But they all agreed she was beautiful, and very evil.
I am sorry we have nothing more to report, we will continue to do our best to serve you. Thank you for your continued patience in our search, we hope that one day we will be able to see our queen again. Until that day we will search to the ends of the Earth for your child.
~Your proud guardians

Serena shoved her chair back from the table, tossing a few dollars on the table she scooped up her letter and left the bar. It had been over one hundred years since her daughter had last been seen, even with everyone searching for her she still evaded capture. Serena stuffed the letter into her pocket and continued down the busy sidewalk.
Passing a row of shops she turned quickly into an alley, she leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. After a moment she stood again, she began making her way tentatively down the alleyway. As if out of nowhere a man appeared, he stepped in front of her, blocking her path.
Little girls shouldn't be walking alone in the dark, he purred, stepping closer, they might get hurt.
I-I was just taking a shortcut home, Serena stuttered in mock fear. Dinner time', she thought.
You obviously took a wrong turn then little one, he grabbed onto her arm, let me walk you home.
Serena pretended to struggle for a moment, allowing him to lead her deeper into the darkness. He shoved her into the shadows, and began to clumsily rip at her clothing.
You don't want to do this, Serena whispered, You need to stop.
Shut up, the man slammed her against the wall, be quite and this won't take long.
Oh, it might take a little longer than you expected, Serena pulled the mans head down, locking her mouth around his neck. She sunk her fangs into his flesh and began to drink, the warm liquid flooding down her throat. She felt the last of his blood drain away, and his heartbeat slow. Just before his heart came to a complete stop she pulled away, gasping.
Serena wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, her wrist coming away red streaked. I told you to stop, she threw his body to the ground after sealing his wounds with her own blood.
She continued down the alley, entering onto another busy street. She looked around, staring blatantly at some of the young couples. She noticed one girl who couldn't have been older than Serena had been before her Serena took an instant interest in the young girl. The girl was walking hand in hand with an older boy, he looked to be at least three years older than her. The girl was smiling and chattering on as they walked, but the boy seemed to be paying no attention to her. He made an occasional affirmative noise, but mostly he was checking out the other girls around them.
Serena thanked her luck that she had worn her shortest skirt and her skimpiest top as she sidled up to them. she whispered softly in is ear, you look like you could do with someone more up to your pace. Why don't you give me a call? She pressed a piece of paper with her cell phone number on it into his hand before slipping off, the girlfriend none the wiser.
She trailed behind them for awhile before she saw him summon a cab. She watched as the girl got in and then as the cab pulled away. The boy had been generous enough to give the girl cab fare before slamming the car door, but as he waved to the retreating vehicle Serena saw him reach into his pocket and pull out her number.
She quickly entered a nearby store on the chance that he turn and see her. She wandered around the shop, occasionally touching a wind chime or a stained glass object. Hmm, at least I hid in an interesting store.' She thought as she picked up a mirror. The mirror was silver and had the design of a woman along its border. Serena ran her finger along the intricate design, I wonder why this looks so familiar.'
She was about to set the mirror down when for some reason she had this sudden hunch to purchase it. She walked up to the check out counter and set the mirror before the cashier.
Oh, I see you've taken an interest in one of our new acquisitions, the cashier smiled.
Serena nodded, taking out her wallet.
This mirror just came in today, The cashier continued, wrapping the mirror in newspaper as she spoke, In fact it wasn't even part of our normal shipment. It was kind of an accident, no one knows really where it came from.
Serena waited for the total.
Yep, twenty five dollars and sixty eight cents, The cashier announced.
Serena balked at the price for a moment before handing the young man a fifty. I had forgotten how much things cost in the city, she giggled.
Oh, this is really a good buy, the cashier handed her her change, This is the only mirror of it's type. When we contacted the artist about it she said it was a sudden, but passing inspiration. She said she had made no others like it and had no plans to in the future.
Serena took the wrapped parcel from the cashier, Thank you.
Oh, thank you, the cashier grinned, I'm glad to see that mirror go to a nice home, I'm sure you'll treasure it.
I'm sure I will, Serena smiled up at the young man.
Just as she was leaving the store her phone began to ring, fishing through her purse she pulled it out. she answered after looking at the number on the caller ID.
a voice replied. you gave me your number a little earlier?
Yes, I did, Serena spoke excitedly, I'm so glad you called.
the voice became bored, I was just wondering if you might want to get a drink, or something.
Serena answered, Where at?
Well, this a little bar on West avenue, he continued on tiredly, I was thinking maybe...
Oh, I know exactly where your talking about, Serena gushed, I was just there with some friends.
Yeah, well, he sighed, can you be there in twenty minutes.
Serena rolled her eye's.
All right, the bored tone continued, See you then.
Serena heard a click before she pulled her phone away from her ear and hung it up as well. Time to give that creep exactly what he deserves.
Serena began walking towards West avenue. She was only two blocks away so she didn't rush to get there. She passed a few shops that seemed interesting, but she restrained herself from entering. She at last reached West avenue and stepped into the dimly lit bar. She was early but surprisingly the boy was already there.
she sat next to him at the counter, Little early, uh?
The boy laughed.
So what's your name? Serena leaned forward, I didn't catch it earlier.
the boy answered, what's yours?
Serena lied, Thanks for asking me out tonight, Alex. I'm visiting my aunt and I have found this town to be extremely boring. Serena set the mirror on the counter.
Alex agreed, It's so hard to find any interesting girls.
Serena leaned closer to Alex, Well I have a plan to make things interesting.
Alex's eye's grew wide before he nodded, What do you have in mind?
Serena licked her lips, Do you, happen to have a car?
Alex's face fell, No, I left mine at home and that's across town.
Oh, that's to bad, Serena pretended to pout,
Alex's eye's lit up,
Well, I was thinking... Serena began to trail off.
Alex was beginning to sound impatient.
I was thinking that, Serena grinned, This bar is loud enough that no one would notice... And those bathrooms lock from the inside, and their one stall only...
Alex smiled, I get it. I like your plan.
Serena nodded, Maybe you could meet me in one? How about you wait two minutes, then I'll knock, and you be ready.
Alex laughed, Sounds like a plan.
Serena watched as he entered the men's bathroom. After he had closed the door she summoned the bartender.
Um, Sir? she said in a childish voice.
The bartender came up to her and looked down, I'm sorry, I can't serve you.
Serena shook her head, I don't want any alcohol. It's just that a man just told me to meet him in that stall. She pointed to the bathroom, In two minutes.
the bartender glared at the door.
Serena began to fake cry, I knew I never should have let my cousin talk me into wearing this! she gestured to he clothes, I told her that only bad would come of it.
the bartender awkwardly patted her on the head, I'll send some men in there to dispose of him.
Serena looked up at him and smiled,
he gestured to some men, quickly explaining the situation he sent them to the stall. See. All taken care of.
Thank you, Serena stood and picked up the mirror, I had better go before he see's me.
The bartender nodded and walked off to help another customer. Serena walked to the exit then looked back at the bathroom. She waited for a moment while one of the men knocked on the door. The door opened a crack before the men shoved it open revealing a very naked Alex.
Serena giggled before running out the door, It is so fun to punish creeps like him.
She soon reached the parking garage, and after climbing into and starting her truck she quickly exited the parking structure. She soon arrived in front of her apartment complex. She parked her truck and walked up to her apartment on the second floor. Unlocking the door she entered the dark hallway. She switched on the light and set the mirror onto the side table next to the couch.
Serena glanced at the clock above the T.V. it read 10:00pm. She sighed, sinking down onto the couch. She picked up the remote control and switched on the T.V. She flipped around until she found Crossing Jordan. She watched as Jordan was told to once again to stay out of it. Jordan of course ignores the advice, which Serena agreed, was stupid anyway. Serena nodded as she realized what Jordan was getting at with the evidence. And then as the culprit was captured Serena felt a sudden burst of pride for Jordan. Jordan had once again saved the day, even against all of the odds.
At eleven Serena switched off the T.V. and headed for her room. She quickly changed into her pajamas and then went to brush her teeth. After she was all set for bed she walked through the tiny apartment making sure the door and windows where all closed and locked. After making sure the house was secure Serena picked up the mirror and walked back to her room.
She unwrapped it from it's packaging and set it on her bed. She stared down at the reflective surface for a moment before flipping it over. She gasped at what she saw. On the back of the mirror the sign of Neptune shone brightly. Michiru. Serena dropped the mirror as if she'd been burned. After a moment she again picked it up, she carried it over to her nightstand where she carefully set it.
she mumbled, walking back to her bed. I wonder if this is a sign.
She curled up on her bed and closed her eyes. I'll worry about it in the morning.' She thought, drifting of to sleep.
