Amy sat in her room thinking. "Maybe he's right," she thought remembering
the fight she and Darien had had at the hospital. "Maybe it is my fault. I
just didn't try hard enough." She thought back to the fight.
*FLASHBACK*
"Sailor Moon we must go!" I shouted to Serena, but she didn't seem to hear me. "Sailor Moon!" I yelled but still no response. I ran to her side. "Serena," I gently put my hand on her shoulder. "Serena come on, if we don't get out of here Kiloth will come back for us. We need to go home and make a plan." But I was too late. I heard a soft roar and listened as it grew steadily louder. "Serena he's here we have to go now!" Serena wouldn't move. She just kneeled on the ground looking at where Mars had died. I tried to get her to stand.
"Let go of me!" she screamed forcefully. I withdrew my hand. "Serena please let's go home. There's nothing else we can do here and Kiloth is on his way back." "I'm not leaving. I'm staying right here and you are going home without me!" Serena had never been careless about fighting, and now she was trying to get herself killed! "I'm not leaving without you." I told her, pulling her to her feet. "WHY!? Just leave and save yourself! I've lost everything!" she shouted. "No you haven't," I softly told her. "You have me, and Darien. Do you really want to make him lose the one thing in the world he loves more than anything? And what about your family." I could tell that hit her right in the heart. It looked as though she had started to change her mind. But before she could say anything Kiloth lifted her p into the air and started hitting her everywhere. "Serena!" I shouted watching helplessly as she got beat up. "Shine... Aqua... Illusion!" I let my attack fly towards the demon full force and froze him in his tracks. I ran up to where he had dropped Serena. She was badly beaten and unconscious. I picked hear up and teleported home. *END FLASHBACK*
Amy lied down on her bed. Tears still flowing freely. All she could think about was that Darien was right and she had failed her best friend, whom she would never see again.
She got up and started to pack. "I'll go to America." She thought. "Start over with new friends and a new life." She threw things into her bag randomly. Then stopped. "No. I'm running away." She slowly put the things in her suitcase back, then went out of the house and headed again to the hospital hoping Darien would be gone so she could talk to Serena's sleeping mind.
* * *
Darien stood in the hot water washing himself. It had been four days since he came back to the apartment he shared with Serena. But Ikuko had forced him to go home and wash. She had driven him home and took his keys saying she would be back in a few hours.
Looking at the clock Darien realized she wouldn't be there for another two hours. Lying down to take a nap, he thought about Serena.
* * *
Amy stepped into Serena's empty room, grateful that no one was there. She sat down in the chair next to Serena, and took her hand.
"Serena . . ." Amy whispered. "Can you hear me?" but of course she got no response. "You know doctors say that people in a coma can hear what their visitors are telling them." She said trying to be hopeful. "Well there are some things I want to tell you." She squeezed Serena's hand. "I- you know you're like my sister . . . I just want you to know that I love you and I miss you. You need to come back to us." Tears started to form in Amy's eyes again. "It's been a week." She cried. Amy lay her head down on Serena's stomach and cried.
Darien stood outside the room watching Amy cry over Serena. "Maybe I was too harsh." He thought stepping into the room clearing his throat.
Amy looked up into his eyes and gasped. "Darien I- I was just leaving." She said rushing to the door and wiping her tears away.
"Wait." He said grabbing her shoulder. "Amy . . . I'm sorry. I was upset and angry." He explained. "I know. It's okay. I went home and did some thinking and I think you're right. If I had been paying attention it wouldn't have happened. So I just came to say my good-byes to her and you. Would you do me a favor and tell her parents I'm sorry I couldn't protect her? Thanks" she said walking away before Darien could even say anything. "Where will you go?" he asked knowing he couldn't change her mind. "I don't know yet. I'll send a postcard." She said knowing that she probably wouldn't. Darien walked up to her and hugged her, "If you hadn't been there Serena would be dead." He said to her. "Thank you for saving her." He kissed the top of her head and turned to go back to Serena's side. Amy watched him go back to the room. And drove herself to the airport.
