SERENA~

I hear pounding in my brain. It's really annoying. I just want to wake up, but for some reason, my body won't allow me. My mind keeps screaming, "SERENA GET MOVING!!".but my arms won't reach out and my legs can't kick up. What a weird sensation. Maybe it was the fall. I remember running to the bathroom, thinking I could just sit in a stall all day long and nobody would bother me. But when I got there, I had to throw up, get all that nasty feeling up and out of my body. Put that bad sensation somewhere else besides inside me. I remember I threw up because I kissed someone else.not Tai. I fell over, in despair. Because it wasn't Tai. But who did I kiss? I can't remember. I remember just being very upset, very confused. He was in my mind, not really there, but then he kissed me. So what really happened? If my shoulders could shrug, I would. But unfortunately they won't work. I guess I'll just drop the subject. Just never let Tai know. It's weird. I've only kissed two people in my whole life. Like really kissed someone. Tai. And Darien. Then Darien was kidnapped, and I fell for Tai. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I had never met Tai. And if I had still saved Darien and everyone from the evil entity. What if, we were still together today? Still in love? The last time I saw him before he died.was the night that the Digi-Destined and I saved the Sailor Scouts. The night we stormed the fort, got kidnapped, and we all thought we'd never escape until Izzy came along. Then Davis and Rini stupidly pressed that button, the self destruct button, and. Well, surprisingly enough, I was told I saved everyone. But I never really knew what happened. "Its ok. You're not supposed to remember now, but it will all come back in time." That's what Rini told me at least. And at first, I just buried it in my mind. But now, I.I all of a sudden knew what happened that night. That if it weren't for me.we would have all died.not to sound self-centered. Seriously, if I hadn't of followed my instincts.we would have been toast. *FLASHBACK*
Serena was sitting on a bench in a jail like cell. Raye sat next to her, trying to comfort her, while Darien stood nearby, watching from the shadows.
"So when did this.how did you become.?" Raye asked.
"I've always been a Digi-Destined," replied Serena. "It's just that they could never find me to tell me because I had such a busy schedule." She forced a weak smile.
"So you have a Digimon and everything? A device?" Darien asked, taking a small step out of the dark.
"Everything," Serena said breathlessly. She still loved Darien, even though time had its effect upon her heart.
Darien glared up from under his bangs. "Are you going to leave us? You know, leave the Sailor Scouts?"
"Never," Serena said, taken aback. "Being Sailor Moon is my first priority. I'm Princess Serenity, and I can't just ignore it to be a Digi- Destined. But the same goes for being a Digi-Destined, I can't ignore it. It's always there."
Darien snorted with laughter. "You'll forget about us."
Serena glared. "How could you say that?"
There was a loud crash at the bars to the cell. Darien jumped back and Serena and Raye fell off the bench sideways. And there, bouncing in the entrance was Pajesomon, Izzy standing behind her with a remote in this hand.
"Insta-bomb," he said smiling. "Let's get out of here before we're discovered. I'm Izzy by the way."
"Pajesomon, I'm Serena's Digimon," said Pajesomon rushing up to Serena.
"I'm Raye." She said, stepping out of the cell.
"Darien," he nodded, walking out.
Serena was last out of the cell, and they all began to trek down a long, dimly lit hallway. The walls were creaking and it sounded as if water were dripping from the ceiling. All of a sudden, there was a loud mechanical voice about them.
"Five minutes until self-destruction."
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Izzy screamed, dashing down the hall. "HURRY EVERYONE! GET OUT OF HERE!"
They set off after him, but Serena was lagging. She couldn't run- not with the nagging feeling that she left something behind. Not with the voice in her head screaming, "SERENA!" every five steps. So when the group came to a fork in the path, they took the right, she took the left, Pajesomon following. "Serena! Come back!" yelled Raye. "This is why, Serena! You've already forgotten!" Darien yelled after her. She didn't stop. She ran and ran, Paje right at her heels, near her in case of danger. And when they rounded that corner, they came to a dead end. But they weren't alone. "Hello," Serena said to the pretty lady. She was tall, with silky dark hair and dark eyes to match. Her light blue dress hung off her skin loosely with some sort of air blowing it around her. "Hello child," she responded, her voice strong and clear. "Am I lost?" Serena asked, taking a step forward. "Do you need help?"
The lady shook her head. "You came here for a reason, Serena. It was of pure instinct that you knew you would meet me here. And you knew that I have information of interest you and your kind."
Serena nodded, and when she spoke, her voice was bolder and more mature. "Yes, I did know that. What can you tell me about myself. How can I save my friends from certain death?"
"I will tell you, although, after everything occurs, you will not remember, but your friend Kari will."
Serena nodded. "Okay."
The lady related the information with extreme care and detail. Serena took in all the information and stored it in the back of her brain for later use.
Serena turned to leave. "Excuse me?" she asked.
"Yes Serena?"
"Not to bother you or anything, but I feel like there's more you can tell me. Am I wrong.am I losing my mind.?"
"Not at all. Quite the opposite. I do have information that I can give you. It involves you and your friend Kari.you both are very, very special girls from the heavens. You two are one of the same star, the same sky, and the same Creator. You two are like twins, but not of the same womb. You two have gifts normal people cannot comprehend. You both are telepathic. You can read each other's minds without effort, and you can feel what is in each other's hearts. Serena, you can scry. By looking into a glossy or reflective surface, you can find the answers to all of your questions. Kari, she can see the future in just a glimpse of a dream or thought. You have photographic and audio graphic memory, meaning you can remember things vividly to perfection. Kari is telekinetic. She can move things with her mind."
Serena nodded in understanding. "Thank you. Thank you so much for everything."
The lady smiled. "Unfortunately, you will only remember glimmers of this conversation, and there is no guarantee that you will remember any of this information. But you are as welcome as I can allow you to be."
And with that, she disappeared.
"Ten seconds until self-destruction."
The words hung in the air about Serena's head. She knew she had to do something, and she had to act fast. She grabbed her compact from her back pocket, and screaming "MOON COSMIC POWER!" she transformed. Using her scepter she formed a shield about herself and Pajesomon.
"Five.four.three." "Pajesomon!!" Sailor Moon yelled. They flew above the castle, higher and higher. They were nearing the moon now. "Two." Pajesomon Digi-volved, and she joined hands with Sailor Moon. A light, white glow settled upon the castle and all the lands around it. "One." They yelled. Anything that came to mind, attacks, shields, anything of power to save their friends.and then the castle exploded. Luckily, the shield contained the attack, and all that resulted was a wonderful white flash of brightness. When everything settled, Serena and a small, forlorn Pajesomon fell from the sky and landed on the ground in the rubble. They lay there in a deep sleep until someone came along to find them. *END FLASHBACK*
I frantically sat up in bed, just barely aware of the fact that my body was working. I was in a strange room, not my room, there were beeping machines, and everything was sterilized white. I didn't care. I remembered that event. I remembered our powers.
I remembered the lady as Claudiesius.
I want to know if Kari remembers. I want to get out of bed. I want to talk to someone. Then the door burst open and Tai and Kari came running into the room, and surrounded the bed.
"Who did it Sere?" Tai asked frantically. "Who did it?"
"Sere, are you okay? What happened?" Kari asked, concern in her eyes.
"Kari.do you remember."
Sadly, I was cut off by the doctor, who had just come in and kicked both of them out of my room. Saying something like, "One at a time.too much excitement."
He asked me who I wanted to visit with first. I took no time hesitating.
I asked for Kari.

KARI~

Tai was a tad bit disappointed Serena wanted to talk to me first, but I think that he realized we are best friends, and that we pretty much need each other to live. So I walked into the room with a somber smile on my face.
She was propped up in the bed, pillows around her, frowning as she touched the bandages on her forehead. "Hey," she said softly, much unlike her loud self.
"Hey," I said smiling and walking over to her bedside. "How are you doing?"
She laughed. "As well as I can be. I don't know why I have these bandages.the scar isn't physical. It's mental.philosophical."
I nodded. I needed to ask, needed to know my worst fears were confirmed. "Sere."
"Hey Kar?" she asked. I nodded as a signal to continue. "Hey, do you remember when.when we realized we had those powers? The ones we have?"
I nodded. "Yeah, of course."
She frowned. "We weren't allowed to tell anyone. Not even Tai." She giggled. "But we wanted to tell someone so bad. Do you ever feel like.even now, after all this time.that you need to tell someone?"
Yes. Every time TK looks into my eyes I want to shout and tell him everything about me. I want to tell him that I'm abnormal, even for a child who is a Digi-Destined and a Sailor Scout. I have powers that people fear, people don't understand. Powers that people shun. I think we didn't tell anyone because we were afraid people who love us would be frightened. At least, that's why I never told.
"Yes. All the time. But I don't. Why?"
She looked down. "I don't remember the circumstances of my accident, Kar. But I remember I was upset for two things. I wanted to tear out my head and my heart and stomp on them to stop them from pounding. Everything was so loud in my mind. It was screaming at me."
I patted her hand. "Serena, what happened?" She looked at me with her clear blue eyes. "I kissed someone else. Not Tai. I kissed someone. He's going to hate me. But I didn't want to. I swear I didn't want to." I hugged her. "It's okay sweetie, Tai will understand. He won't be mad." "Good," she said, tears streaming down her face. We sat in silence. But I needed to know too much. "Serena, what else? What was the second thing?" She took a deep breath. "I told." "You told?" "About your dreams. I almost told everything. I don't know why, but my brain wasn't working, and I was sucked in, and I wanted to tell them everything. I don't get it Kari, but that was what made me sick in the first place. My brain being sucked in." I shuddered. I knew what I had to ask, even if it did upset her, even if it did make her so "excited" her pulse and blood rate went up and she went back into unconsciousness, I needed to ask. "Serena, who did you tell?" "What?" I looked at her face. "Was it Cameron, Serena? Was it Cameron you kissed and told?" She tilted her head at me. "No. Why would he do that?" I took a step back, towards the door, my hand on the knob. "Are you sure?" She slowly nodded, her head still hurting. "Positive. It wasn't him." I left the room, nodding Tai in. He dashed in and I took his place in the white plastic chair. I don't know what he did, but he got her really good. She couldn't even remember him. But I knew it was him. I would never, ever doubt my instincts. I put my head in my hands. Why would a Digi-Destined try to hurt another? Get information? Try to move in on our secrets? There's some things better left unsaid, and the rest of the Digi-Destined realized that. So why was Cameron being so persistent. My first thought was that he was new. But even a new person in a crime- fighting group would realize that there are the "special ones" and just leave well enough alone. Maybe he just was nosey. Or he was evil. Maybe he was working with the evil, the newest evil. Whoever it was, I was going to get to the bottom of this. I stood up. I needed to stretch my legs. I decided to head towards the cafeteria. I walked down the numerous halls and took the many elevators and finally reached the gift shop and cafeteria area. Hospital food is gross. So I just got a pop and some cookies and muffins. I saw a table at the far end of the eating area, next to a window. Perfect place to sit. I started over when I bumped into someone. My food fell down. Good thing the cookies came in a package. The pop.that's going to be another story. "Sorry," I muttered, and I bent down to get my stuff. "No, it was my fault," came the answer. The voice high and feminine, with a hint of superiority. How many girls had I met like that? My eyes swept across from me. The girl had also dropped some stuff. Funny how life works out, huh? Her back was to me, and her dark dark hair swept across her shoulders. Under a tank top her skin was pale. If she weren't walking around I would have thought she was supposed to be a patient. Her frame was small and thin, and when she stood, she turned towards me. I didn't mean to stare, but it was just so.weird. Seeing those green eyes narrow on me. Seeing the upturned nose as the girl smiled a fake smile and said, "Sorry again." The way she walked, talked, acted. This was way weird. There was no way it could be. Queen of the Halls, Princess of the Digi-World, Duchess of the Jerks. I went to the table and sat down. I laughed at myself and started eating my cookies and drinking out of my half crunched pop can. There was no way. I was losing my mind, playing the fool. I was daydreaming, conjuring up spirits. I had to be. After all, Lilla couldn't be back from the dead. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If there is anyone out there entirely upset that Kari has lack of speaking,
don't be offended. Her time to talk will come. BWA HA HA HA HA.
