~*It's A Far Better Thing*~

Serena looked down into her lap, with the couple pages of notes that she had taken. She growled, they were too unsatisfactory and if her mom saw them, she would be heated. Her mom had sent her to the library, to research on her science project, and all the while, Serena had stopped by the arcade, the café, and then went to the park. She arrived at the library and hour before it closed, and now there were only 10 minutes left.

Her mom was definitely expecting her report to be finished on the living habits of Aquatic Life, mainly whales, and dolphins. She knew next to nothing about them, so she cursed herself for having to waste her time on all those other things that she had been doing. She removed the top piece of paper from the stack and looked down at the letter that was given to her, by someone she didn't even know. She must have fallen asleep while she was studying or something, because she did not remember even seeing that letter.

It was a love letter, from her secret admirer. Serena was confused, because other than Melvin, Darien was the only person that Serena knew to have loved her. Maybe it was a mistake, but how many other people did she know with the nickname Bunny?

She had read the note over and over again, trying to understand why they had written it. It read,

Bunny, I know that your heart belongs to another, but I just couldn't help but write you this poem. I hope you take it graciously into your heart and understand its meaning.

I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care. I'm not supposed to live my life wishing you were there. I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do. But I am sorry I just cant help myself, I fell in love with you.

You don't have to accept my love, but just remember, it would be a far better thing to do than let Darien grasp your heart forever.

Love Always, Your Secret Admirer.

Serena huffed and stood up, knowing that she had to go soon. She placed the papers into her book bag, but held the note in her hand, wanting to read it some more. She didn't understand what it meant, except for the fact that someone claimed that they were in love with her.

And besides Darien, she didn't know anyone who could be in love with dopey, mush for brains Serena. Darien and Serena had a past though, one filled with love and affection, so there was no way that she would have enough room in her heart to accept this. If only she knew whom the secret admirer was.

Serena sighed as she looked over the note again, wondering if this person were going to continue to write these strange notes to her. She didn't want them to. She crumbled up the note and tossed it away over her shoulder and continued to walk. She didn't have time for things like that, between protecting the world, loving Darien, and making sure she did good in school, there just wasn't time.

'Oh boy, that was just completely exhausting, and how did that person give me that note? Probably slipped it in my research book when I was looking for more.' Serena thought. Over the years Serena had gotten more mature, and less ditzy. She was a senior in high school now, and she still didn't know if she was going to pass. Somehow she had gotten to become a senior, but it was all very odd. She was about to turn a corner when someone grabbed her arm. She jumped in shock, but when she saw who it was she smiled.

"Hey Rei how are you doing?" She asked. Her raven haired friend smiled at her. "I am doing great, I saw you drop something, so I decided to pick it up and give it to you. I was just heading home from the grocery store, grandpa wants Miso soup tonight." She said as she handed her the crumpled up piece of paper.

Serena took and opened it up again and looked at it over once more. The light changed and the two girls crossed the street with each other.

"I don't want this Rei, it will complicate my life too much." She said as she crumpled it up once more. Rei snatched it out of her hands immediately. She read it and smiled.

"Serena had a secret Admirer? You would think after seeing Darien with you all the time, they would reconsider, I mean the guy is a man with a good job now, and you are just a high school student, plus Darien is killer with roses and a cane. Has this person even took the time to look at the relationship? Besides who would want to go out with you Serena?" Rei remarked snidely. Serena looked at the ground. She had completely out grown arguing with Rei, but since she was so temperamental she decided to keep the feud going.

"I don't care who wrote it, they said to find a place in my heart for it, but my heart is already all filled up with my family and friends, and my future husband, there just isn't an empty pocket to fill it with." Rei looked at her maturing friend and smiled. Of course she didn't have room for anyone else, let alone anyone else that she didn't know. Rei placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"Well as long as you keep thinking like that then there is nothing to worry about. See ya!" Rei said as she ran in the opposite direction of Serena to go home.

Once by herself she contemplated on what excuse she was going to give her mom, and suddenly the blood curdling scream she heard, gave her one.

It had come from Rei's direction, and Serena could only have guessed what that meant, Rei was in trouble. She ran as fast as she could and stop dead when she saw Rei lying unconscious on the ground.

"Rei!" She yelped as she shook her friend trying to wake her up. She looked around as an eerie feeling crept up on her spine. She stood up and looked around everywhere but saw no one. She clutched her brooch, ready for anything that was about to come out and attack her but nothing did.

Her suspicions calming she kneeled down next to Rei and shook her once more. She was breathing at an irregular rate, but she was still breathing.

"Rei! Wake up Rei!" She yelled as she shook her friend. Serena was aghast for what happened next. Some rolled over next to her and smoke began shooting out of it. She shielded her face and shut her eyes as it happened. She began coughing as the smoke filled her air passages.

"I told you to take it into consideration Bunny, you better be careful, and just remember it is a far better thing." A male's voice spoke out, but it was more in her ear. Serena heard footsteps and then silence. The smoke had cleared and Serena was able to open her eyes. She coughed very lightly before being able to actually breath again. Rei muttered under her breath, and Serena looked around wondering where it had come from, but had absolutely no clue.

Rei sat up rubbing her head. Tears streamed down Serena's face and she hugged her friend tightly.

"I thought you were gone for sure!" She yelped. Rei nodded, giving sign that she agreed with her.

"What made you scream like that?" Serena asked suddenly concerned of how her friend was unconscious.

"I don't know, I just remember seeing a man and a monster with fangs, I didn't even have a chance to transform before I was attacked." Rei looked at her friend sternly.

"Did anything happen to you?" She asked. Serena looked at her friend debating on whether or not to tell her and then smiled.

"I just heard a voice, that's all just a voice. Come on, lets get you home." Serena said as she helped her friend up and walked the rest of the way home with her.
