One Night at Shields by Strawberry I Don't Own SM! Chapter 39
"Give me my daughter!" the now detransformed Serena screamed at Prince Darien. Rini was somewhere with Queen Beryl, Darien had dragged Serena off to what appeared to be his room. He quickly covered her mouth, he looked at her with confused eyes, interrogating eyes, she looked at him, and there was something there, Evil Princes never were confused.
"That little girl…" he started, he slowly dropped his hand from her mouth, and she never took her eyes off him. She looked at him curiously,
"What about her?" she asked softly
"She's yours?" he asked slowly,
"Yes." she said, she looked down at her shoes, it seemed like eternity, and then he final spoke, his voice was slightly horse and shaky.
"Who's her father?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sailor Moon led Prince Darien into the apartment,
"Does any of this seem familiar?" she asked, he looked over at her with a hard look
"I can't talk to you unless you retransform." he said sternly,
"Same with me… "She said, she sighed and detransformed into normal clothes, so did he.
"You were a great dad." she finally said
"I'm sorry I hurt you." she said again,
"Maybe, it was my fault, in a sense. I pushed you away, closer to the Negaverse." she put her hand on top of his, he abruptly moved it,
"Who says I'm even the alleged father of this child?" he asked
"You used to be… Until you became this… This monster." she said quietly, he grabbed her wrist abruptly, and he looked at her with such force, such emotional rage, as if he was fighting himself not to hurt her, She tried to look brave with ended up looking hurt, she used all of her strength and pulled out of his grasp
"Can't you even try to remember?!" she cried, he scuffed
"If it was so important to us both how could I forget?"
"Darien, they did something to you, your train of thought." she rubbed his arm, he pushed it out of his way,
"My train of thought is perfect. You're a deceitful liar." he said bitterly
"Then why did it take me so long to get you here?! I'm not the liar. You are, you're denying yourself and Rini the chance at happiness, not to mention me." She retorted
"Alright, then show me the wonderful life I've seemed to forget." he said
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Serena!" Sailor Mars yelled from the open patio door, Darien got an evil smirk on his face,
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" he asked, the scouts came in, one by one
"You leave her alone!" Jupiter yelled, she charged at him, he grabbed her arm and bent it back, then pushing her to the floor. He then created another doom that held the scouts, but this one wasn't as powerful. Serena held Rini's baby's book, she looked confused. Who was she to go to?
"Serena!" Said Venus screamed in pain
"Well, I should be off. Don't worry it won't hold for more than 30 minutes... Sailor Moon." he walked up to her, they were inches apart, and he slowly took her in his arms. Was he going to kiss her? He kept getting closer,
"You once said you loved Me." he said, repeating the words Serena had told him she told him before that night. She nodded slowly
"If you love me so much, then join Me." he said he dropped his grasp of her, she took a step back, and she looked confused, bewildered but most of all… Tempted
"Serena, don't!" the scouts yelled, as if reading her mind he spoke,
"No, I'm not coming back or waiting for you… Join me now… Or join me never." he said, she opened a portal, he looked back, and held out his hand, she looked at it, the hand she had held while having Rini, the hand that guided her at the prom or up the stairs when coming home, the hand that went over her eyes when he had surprises with her, the hand that would help her up everyday for 2 or 3 years when they bumped into each other. Memories started flooding back
"Meatball Head." his voice echoed in her memory, she bit her lower lip, then put her hand in his.
