Chapter Five

Serena sat down at her desk, pulling a piece of paper from one of the numerous drawers, she began to write.
Dear Mina,
I have located my wayward daughter. She came to visit me in town, as I was watching the crowds in a small restaurant. She informed me that we had deceived her, and said some unspeakable things. But I have seen her, so my mission for you girls is over. I request your presence here immediately. Please, everyone come.
Serenity

She slipped the letter into an envelope, she sealed it and labeled it. After she had finished, she summoned one of her night demons. A small creature appeared in the center of her room. It held out it's hand and excepted the envelope she held out. With one quick nod it rose from the ground, flapping it's feathered wings , before it disappeared in a bright flash.
Can they ever not be melodramatic? Serena stood and stretched, I guess that's how they get their jobs, showing of to their owners.
She walked to the bathroom, shedding her clothes she climbed into the shower. She turned the water on, feeling the warm water on her bare skin began to make her drowsy. After scrubbing off the day's grime she wrapped a towel around herself and walked to kitchen. She pulled open the refrigerator and looked at the wide assortment of donor bags. She grabbed one off its hook. I didn't think I'd be hungry, but after tonight's experience I'm starving. She punctured the plastic bag with her teeth and drank the cold liquid. She sighed as she finished the last drop. Not as good as fresh, but it will do. She tossed the empty container into the garbage.
She made her way back to her room, tossing off the towel as she entered. She pulled out some clean underwear, looking down at them she wondered when she had gotten them. They where pale pink satin with a lace trim. She shrugged and slipped them on, It'll come back to me I'm sure. She grabbed a clean nightgown from her closet, slipping on the thin white garment she climbed into bed. She switched off the light and soon began to doze.
A few hours later she awoke, a loud noise in the apartment next to hers caused her to startle. She leapt out of her bed, as a wave of familiarity washed over her. She ran from her room and out of her apartment. She began to pound on her neighbors door. When all she heard was some muffled yelling she turned the handle, the door was locked.
Stepping back she paused for a moment, analyzing the consequences of what she was about to do. Shrugging she grabbed the door knob and twisted it sharply. She heard the lock break. She pushed open the door and ran into the room. Along the walls where the crumpled bodies of the boys she had just met. She gasped as she watched Heero valiantly try to battle the intruder.
Serena cried, grabbing the other girls arm, What do you think you are doing?
Rini glared at Serena before roughly shaking her off, None of your business. She spat, rushing from the room.
Serena sighed and looked around at the nearly destroyed living room. Heero leaned over panting, while the other boys where slowly struggling to their feet.
Heero panted, staring at Serena.
Serena stepped outside of their apartment and took a quick look around. There was no sign of Rini, she had just vanished. Turning, Serena walked back into the boy's living room.
she began, is my daughter.
Heero stared blankly at her,
Quatre looked up from where he sat on the couch, How can she be your daughter? You look to be the same age.
It's going to take awhile to explain, do you have the time? Serena asked Heero.
Heero looked at the other boys, receiving nods he answered, Yeah, we have time.
Serena took a breath, It began over a hundred years ago. I was fifteen. She watched as the boys exchanged knowing looks. I had been taken to England six months before my fifteenth birthday, I was three months pregnant. She went on to tell them about Darien and how he had abandoned her, Then after three nights of sleeping on the streets, I was found. The man told me his name was Artemis, he took me to his home. He fed and clothed me, and then when the time came for me to give birth he sent for the best midwifes that could be found. I gave birth to my daughter on my fifteenth birthday. That night, as I put my daughter to sleep, he confided in me a deep secret. He was not human, and hadn't been for hundreds of years. He told me about the power he had in his present form. He confided in me all of the secrets of his kind, and then he asked if I would join him in death.
Quatre gasped, You accepted?
Serena shook her head, No, I never accepted. I refused him that first night. Then as the months past, he continued to pester me. He begged me to drink his dark blood. Then one day, he would no longer accept my refusal. He changed me. I struggled to fight him, but soon he had drained to much of my blood. I had seeped into near unconsciousness. He slit open his wrist and held it to my lips, I tried to turn from it. There was something about his blood that forced me to drink, I couldn't stop myself, even as I tried to pull away. He had changed me, then he waited until my death had fully come. He stayed with me that night as I felt the death pains. I had never before, and never since, had such a painful experience. Even giving birth was nothing compared to the agony I endured. By the next night I was a full-fledged Vampire.
I knew it! Wufei leapt up from where he sat, I knew this girl wasn't normal! She's the one we have been searching for.
Heero grabbed Wufei as the boy passed him, a knife held firmly in his hand. Stop Wufei, Heero pried the knife from Wufei's hand, She doesn't seem like she wants to do us harm.
That's what you think, Wufei slumped back into his chair, You should have just let me cut off her head.
Serena stared, mouth agape at the boy,
Wufei stood up proudly, We are Vampire Hunters. We rid the world of vermin like you.
Duo glared at the woman hating boy, Shut up.
Wufei snarled at Duo, If you had any guts, Duo, you would have done the same as me.
Duo laughed, Maybe if I was as stupid as you, but guts has nothing to do with it. I want to know how that girl could be her daughter.
Isn't obvious? Wufei spat, She changed her. She changed her own child.
Heero looked imploringly at Serena, Is this true?
Serena looked down, I did change my own daughter, but I thought it was for the good!
How could you think it was for the good? Wufei demanded, You should have known, at least from your own experiences, that it could never be for the good.
Heero looked at his hands that rested on his lap, Maybe we should let her finish her story.
What's there to finish? Wufei sat back down, I, personally, have heard enough.
Well, maybe we haven't, Trowa spoke up from across the room, Some of us are curious to learn the rational behind her thinking.
Wufei growled, Continue your story, Woman.
Serena glanced around the room before continuing, For two nights Artemis trained me. He told me when fifty years past, I could once again see the light of the sun. Then on the third night, I went to search for him. I could find no trace of him, everything he owned was still in the house, but he was gone. I searched for him all through the city but I found nothing. Nights and then weeks past with no sign from him. I cared for my child, and then hunted the city for evil doers. I was in London, so there was no short supply. I hunted only those who had done evil, I wanted to rid the world of all murders, thieves, and those who would do any harm unto others. All those who felt no remorse where mine. Then one night I could no longer take being alone. My daughter was now a year old. I decided to go home, my friends and family where all in Japan, so that's where I went. I hired a nurse maid to care for my daughter during the day, and set sail with them on a ship to Tokyo. During the day I slept in a crate, and at night I relieved the nurse from her duties. I cared for my child and hunted the ship for rats for my dinner. When we arrived in Japan it was day. The nursemaid was under my influence and convinced the ships captain to leave my crate on the ship until nightfall, at which time I would send men to retrieve it. When night came I set out to find the nurse and my child, then we went to find my family. When we arrived at their home, they shunned me. They told me no demon was to live in their home. I left in tears, holding my child. I told the nurse maid to leave me, I gave her money and sent her on her way. Then I fled to the Shinto temple, one of my friends' grandfather was the owner and she was the head priestess. When I approached her for shelter, she of course knew of the change, but she didn't care. She welcomed me to the temple and let me stay in a vacant room.
What kind of idiot would allow a vampire to seek shelter in their home? Wufei laughed, Oh, yea, you said it was a woman.
Serena rolled her eyes, Over the next few days she contacted my, and her other friends, soon they all arrived. During the day they took turns caring for my child, and at night they spent time with me. I told them what had happened to me, and how I had become what I was. They accepted me, they welcomed me home. During the next year each one of them approached me on separate occasions, asking to join me, to become my eternal companion. I sent them all away. Then one night, when they and my daughter slept, another of my kind paid me a visit. She was young, younger physically than I was. She told me her name was Diana. She said that I was to change my friends, as I had been changed. They and I where part of a great kingdom, she told me, and to fulfill our destinies we must all become one. I refused, how could I give my friends the same fate as me? She nodded and then left, I thought it was over. Then two nights later she returned, this time with her parents. I was amazed to see Artemis in tow, and a little fearful. Rightly so, she introduced her mother, Luna, right before setting upon my friends. In minutes my friends had all been transformed. Mina, Amy, Raye, and Lita, all changed in an instant. Later four more joined us, they where Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and little Hotaru. Hotaru was not changed until some years later. When Artemis, Luna, and Diana had finished their gruesome task they left. My friends and I fled to England where we knew we could hide. We lived there happily until my daughters fifteenth birthday, she had been raised around Vampires her whole life so she knew she would one day join us. My friends, now my loyal guardians, brought forth prey for her when she changed. It was her father.
You where going to feed her her own Dad! Wufei shouted, outraged.
He had done horrible things to me, things that still clouded my judgment, Serena tried to explain, My daughter heard what he had done, listened to him rant about how I should have killed her when I had the chance. She chose to kill him. I changed her that night. She suffered the death pangs, then on the following evening emerged, prepared for her first meal. But during the day, while we all slept he had managed to kill himself. Rini had shrugged, but I could see the hunger in her eyes. I sent Hotaru and her out. Hotaru had always been Rini's friend, and closest companion, but while they where out Rini some how evaded Hotaru. She set off on her own and killed an innocent. By the time Hotaru caught up with her Rini was just tossing the body down. She didn't even bother to disguise the kill, she just left it. Then she ran. Hotaru summoned the other guardians, but it was to late, Rini was gone. I hadn't seen her for over one hundred years, Serena concluded, Until tonight that is.
So why exactly did you change her? Wufei snarled, How did you convince yourself it was good?
My guardians and I all did our best to rid the world of evil, Serena answered, We felt that as the damned, we had a duty to the world. Rini promised to help us in our quest, she swore she would rid the world of hatred and corruption. I never thought that she would betray us.
Well, she obviously did, Wufei snapped, and it is your fault as her mother and creator.
I know, Serena looked down, ashamed, I should never have changed her. I know that now.
A little late for that isn't it? Wufei said sarcastically.
Cut it out Wufei, Heero shouted, people make mistakes, your mother obviously did.
Duo, Trowa, and Quatre exchanged looks, Did Heero just say that? Duo whispered to Trowa.
Trowa nodded, I think so.
Who would have thought Heero had a soft spot? Quatre watched as Wufei stood up.
Do not insult my honor! Wufei shouted, I will not allow you to get away with this travesty.
Sit down, Heero sent Wufei a death glare, No one cares about your honor.
Serena stood, I realize you have had no sleep so I'll go now. If you need me I'll be next door most of the day.
Don't you dare go! Wufei began to walk towards her.
Bye Serena, Heero stood, barring Wufei, If we need you we'll contact you.
Serena walked from the room, Talk to you later.
She made her way back to her apartment and quickly checked her locks, after making sure they were secure she made her way to bed, again. This time sleep didn't come so easily, she had nightmares of her past and of her daughter. Then as dawn arrived she fell into a deep sleep.
