'Well, time to head home, it's pretty late!' Molly pondered to herself before actually saying it aloud
"Well, it's get'n mighty late, I'm sure Melvin's wonder's we ah am! So ah'm gonna head home!" Molly said while a small yawn escaped
"Yeah, same goes for all of us, we'll be at The Grand Hotel if ya need anything!" Amy said while her and the girls cleaned up there mess.
"Okay, well I'll finish up ya'll head back alright?" Molly said
"Thanks, Moll, We'll see you in the morning goodnight!" Raye managed to politely say
"Goodnight!" the 3 other girls said in unison.
' *yawn* soooo…..tired *yawn*' each girl thought
Lita, Raye, Amy and Mina walked out of the bar and into the dark streets of Miltia Town. With only a flew blocks to walk they were at the hotel and in no time the girls ran up to there separate rooms.
One by one they were ready for bed and as they jumped in, only seconds later they were comatose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SERENA'S POV AND IN HER ROOM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena slowly walked into her room closing the door behind her. She felt very tired, and without any other thought she undressed into her bed time clothes and before she fell into her bed a thumb nail sized golden heart shaped locket fell before her on her bed. (AN: No star shape locket, sorry. And it doesn't play a song, it's a normal locket, but the value is still the same! : P!!)
She picked it up and examined it carefully like it was a piece of thin glass, and with the slightest tight grip it could be broken. It was obvious that it meant a lot to her.
The golden locket now in her icy cold fingers, was heart shaped and on the front two intertwined flowers were imprinted. On the right side of the front was a way to open it. Slowly yet carefully, Serena opened the locket and found that on the left side of the inside the words 'Love' we're also imprinted.
Sadly, Serena noticed that the once picture of her dear boyfriend was not at all in her locket no more.
"I guess it's true what they say, 'An empty locket only leads to an empty life!'." Serena smiled thinking back on her memories. Her eyes began to burn once again…she kept repeated to herself over and over
'I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I can't cry, I'll get my revenge come time! I've sworn not to cry, not now and not ever!' She concentrated.
Anger soon began to take over her sadness and within seconds her eyes were back to normal, but with a look of anger that would seem to want to kill anything that breathes.
Serena then shook all of her thoughts away, and pretended like nothing happened. Like she always does, her escape from reality is only to pretend that the bad things are just a nightmare and its better to not face them and only forget.
'I believe in looking reality straight in the eye…and denying it!' She thought to herself
As much as she wanted to forget her past, she couldn't help but replay a certain memory through her head as she laid in the pitch dark night on her bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FLASHBACK OF 4 YEARS AGO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a beautiful day, like any other in the month of August! For some reason this day, the sun shined brighter then any other day that Little 13 year old Serena had ever witnessed. It was the perfect day to turn fourteen, August 15th(AN:I know that her birthday is in June, but I like August better!). Serena's birthday was today and she was away from her hometown, Midgar, picking flowers in the fields about a mile away.
She was suppose to meet with her secret boyfriend, Darien, who lived in the next town from Midgar. He lived in Gainsborough, and they were secretly dating.
Darien came into sight as he rode his black stallion into the flower filled fields of Midgar. He was 15 years old and his hair was an ebony color that shined in the sun's light bringing out his dark sapphire eyes. His body was nicely built, his strong muscles shone off and his tan skin made him look even more sexy. He was the son of the Mayor of Gainsborough, which made him very wealthy.
In his hand he held a small white box with red ribbon wrapped around it. Serena's eyes sparkled as she say her first and true love only yards away. She ran up to him and got off his horse giving her a heart warming kiss that made her melt inside.
They sat down on the grass and started talking about anything that came to mind.
"Mom once told me that "A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for." Serena and Darien laughed when this was said.
"Typical outlaw saying…huh?" Darien said as he gave Serena the smile that makes her insides melt just like when he kisses her.
"Yep" she replied
"Mom always tells me that she can't wait till me and Sammy grow up so we can be outlaws just like her. She use to always tell me that "You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun (An: Famous quote!)."
Again Darien and Serena both laughed at this.
"Always remember this, the greatest pleasure in life is doing what most people say you cannot!" Darien said to his girlfriend.
"You know what, that actually makes sense!" Serena smiled
"Another thing that I always tell myself is that "Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. I have been told that a lot of times throughout my life. The funny thing is that it's true, the time you have to live your life is yours, and you shouldn't let people control you." Darien whispered into Serena's ear before kissing her.
"Thanks, Darien, I like the way that sounds. And I would let you have my coin anytime as long as we spent it together!" Serena uttered to him.
They talked for hours on different subjects, mainly explaining how much they wished they could tell everyone that they were dating. But it was only a dream to them because Irene, Serena's mother, was an infamous outlaw who had robbed Darien's hometown one too many times. They always suspected that her mother was only fond of the mayor because he would cause such a scene every time she robbed him of his wealth. But their suspicions were only their imaginations because they both knew that deep down it was only revenge that was in her mother's heart.
Irene's husband, Ken, was shot by the mayor by accident. The mayor had thought that it was the man who killed his wife but sadly mistaken him, only further pissing the dead man's widow off. But that's another story.
It was sunset when Serena and Darien sat together watching the clouds move and the wind singing it's silent melody as it moved along with the pink and purple clouds. It wasn't long that they had heard a huge explosion coming from Midgar.
Quickly Serena and Darien jumped on the black stallion and headed towards Her hometown.
2 minutes it took the couple to get there. They arrived only to know that they were 2 minutes too late. Serena's Mother lie dead in a puddle of blood on the ground holding Serena's younger brother, Sammy's, hand. This caused Serena to run over to the two dead bodies and only cry hoping it would bring them back.
Darien looked around, aware that someone was still here. He looked around town and noticed that everyone here were all dead as well, everyone was on the ground dead in their own puddle of blood. Children, babies, women you name it.
Darien walked over to Serena and placed his hand on her shoulder trying to reassure her. She slowly stood up .
"Darien, I swear by my life that I will avenge my family's death." She sad with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Serena…I'm willing to do what ever it takes to help you and I pro--" Darien was cut off by the sound of a gun.
"Darien?…DARIEN…NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Serena screamed as Darien's body slowly slid down hers and into her arms.
"Serena…I…want…you…to…know that I…lo-love...you. H-here, take…this *hands her the box with the red ribbon on it* …Happy Birthday!" Darien smiled and soon fell unconscious.
Serena kissed him, and took the box, not caring if the person who shot him was still there or not. She opened it to find a golden heart shaped locket with Darien's picture in it. A note fell out of the box. Serena slowly picked it up and it read:
My love,
I want you to know that you are the whole world to me and never forget that. I plan to tell my farther that we have been dating. I would have given you an engagement ring, but I know your mother wouldn't be so happy. So instead I give you a locket that has been passed down in my family for years. I ask only one thing of you, and that is your answer, will you marry me? I know that we're too young, but I don't care, you and I are meant for each other. Happy 14th Birthday! I love you!
Love,
Darien Shields
This only made Serena cry even more, she screamed out into the night
"I SWEAR…I'LL GET MY REVENGE!!!"
She looked up at the clock tower and in big red letters, The Engravers, were written.
"Engravers…so be it, from this point forward I'll take after my mother and search for The Engravers and kill every last one of them."
Serena kissed Darien's lips one last time and left him there on the ground with her mother and brother. She then walked into her house and took her mother's 2 pistols and derringer. Her mother once taught Serena how to use them. Irene, Iced Insomnia. The women who never sleeps, rumors said that she had insomnia, her heart was iced with deception, she could deceive anyone. Serena knew that her mother was a true gentle and kind hearted women at nature who couldn't harm a fly.
Darien had taught Serena self-defense and how to listen carefully for trouble. He taught her to always be prepared and alarmed when trouble was near. Within time Serena was masterly skilled as Darien was. He taught her everything he knew and more. They were meant to be with each other, their love was more powerful then anyone's love in a lifetime.
Still, with tears flowing from her eyes, Serena gathered what she needed. She was dressed in a red dress that had long sleeves and reached down to her ankles were her cowboy boots peeked out. Around her waist was a belt with one pistol one each side (which are only 2). Under her dress was her derringer attached to her left thigh. Her golden blonde hair was up in her usual style, odangos, and the red ribbon from the box was securely wrapped around each 'meatball'. She walked out of her house and into the now raining night of her birthday. She quickly remembered that Setsuna and her Daughter were out of town which made her smile a little. Knowing that 2 of her friends were still alive kept her strong.
She stood over the 3 dead bodies once more and closed her eyes.
'I can…I can sense someone is still here, their presence is evil I can tell that much…' She focused
She remembered what Darien had taught her, and without much notice she drew her gun and fired it.
A loud shriek was heard from a small distance.
"AAHHHHH….YOU BITCH!" Yelled a man
Serena, still with her eyes closed fired her gun again, killing the man.
"One down…four to go." Serena said emotionless.
She turned to face the man now on the ground, he had short blonde hair and was wearing some kind of uniform. He was motionless and Serena could no longer feel his presence which basically indicated to her that he was dead.
"Well, well, well, I sssee Jaedite wasss carelesss and underesssstimated you. It's a sssshame he's gone, o well! I could care lessss, that just meanssss more for me!" A women simply uttered
"Who are you? And what do you mean more for you? Come out and face me you Fucking coward?" Serena demanded
"Ohh, sssso feissssty! I'm am Beryl, Leader of The Engraverssss. Your lucky I'm willing to sssspare you young one!" Beryl hissed
"Where are you, come out and face me so I can take your life like you so carelessly took everyone elses!" Serena again demanded
"I would, but like I sssaid before, I'm gonna sssspare you today sssso you can live with ssssuch sadnessssss…HAAAAA HA HA HAAAA HAAAHAA!" Beryl's voice slowly faded away and left Serena alone in the rain.
"Over here men, I heard laughter!" yelled a man.
'That's Darien's dad's voice, I'm soo glad he's here' Without a minute to spare Serena ran towards the hollering voices and stumbled into a big man.
She stood back up with a smile on her face and before she could say anything the man spoke.
"You…YOU DID THIS! SERENA, DAUGHTER OF IRENE, YOU SLAUGHTERED THIS TOWN." The man looked around and saw his son on the ground in a puddle of blood along with Irene's body and the whole town's people dead as well.
'My son…NOOO…Serena, she killed you didn't she?' the man thought
"Child, what caused you to go so mad?" The man sternly questioned the young girl while running over to his son's body.
"Noo, no, I didn't do this! Look at the Clock tower, The Engravers, their held responsible for this! Not me!" She pleaded
The man looked at Serena and say her pistols were smoking! He held his gun up to her and said
"You are under arrest for the this murder of this town." The man began
"NO, I'm sorry that but I have to do this, I love your son with all my heart, and your not going to arrest me because I'm not going down until I have my revenge!" She said as she punched the man in the stomach causing him to go down and slowly slip away into a deep slumber.
'I'm sorry sir, I respect you a lot, I know you killed my farther, but I know it was a mistake.' Serena reflected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
END OF FLASHBACK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A stray tear slowly slipped from Serena's eye as she held the locket in her hands.
'Darien, looks an awful lot like the Darien I knew from 4 years ago…maybe…no, it can't be, I saw Darien die in my arms! It's impossible! How could I think such a thing? Andrew…But my Darien had a best friend named Andrew as well…humph, what am I thinking, it's probably just some odd coincidence! Damn you Serena for thinking such ridicules things!' Serena scolded herself
In a matter of seconds, she slowly fell into the dreamland were all her worries disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, this is like a little over 2700 words, it's short I know, but what can you do about it? Nothing absolutely nothing *evil grin* just kidding! I will try to write more tomorrow in the mean time keep those reviews coming or I won't write! O _ o! lol
This is just Serena's flashback chapter! What's Darien's story or Andrew's? Who knows!
