I don't own SM! Or scenes from gone with the wind or the dresses! Or the dresses descriptions!

As the last guest left, Serena felt she needed some fresh air, the wind blew her hair everywhere, she had to think, she thought about Andrew, her life, anything, for some reason she didn't want to go home to an empty house. Darien was out; he left a little before the last guest left. She realized, how dark it was, she felt a little uneasy, suddenly she heard footsteps, she looked at her surroundings, she couldn't recognize anything. She heard the footsteps again. She whirled around; she remembered what Darien had warned her about. Ever since the war ended, there had been some "bad seeds" around town at late hours of the night, she instantly became alert of the person who was feet away from her, she ran, she began to run, to what or who, she didn't know but she ran, then someone caught her, the unidentified man had a 2 partners, the 2 laughed,

"Hey darling, have a quarter?" He asked as he chuckled,

"Get away from me!" She spat

"Well you're a little spitfire aren't you?" he asked, the 2 men threw her on the ground, the other man approached, he began to tear off her dress, she screamed for help, her sobs nearly chocked her to death, there was a dim light from one of the man's lanterns, and she saw the man, never in her life had she ever seen such crazy eyes, there was a fire in them, like Darien's eyes but this fire was much more intense, Darien's had a different likeness to them. The man kissed her, when it ended, she spit,

"Leave me alone!" she cried, he then unzipped his pants and started, she screamed, suddenly, he was pulled aside, he was punched, Serena took this time to get up and run, she ran as fast a she could but her tears and sobs made her unbalanced and she fell, she sat in the middle of the road crying, naked. Suddenly a warm piece of cloth was wrapped around her. It was someone's jacket, she looked up, she couldn't see the person, she inhaled the sent of the coat, and it smelled, just like Darien. The mixture of smoke, roses and alcohol, she looked up,

"Darien?" she sniffed, why would Darien save her, after what he found out?

"Shhh." he said soothingly, he collected her in his arms, and walked home, she cried in his arms,

"They didn't do anything damaging, it's all right." he said (meaning they didn't get her pregnant.)

"What did you do to them?" she asked, he smiled lovingly,

"I took care of them, don't you worry about It." he said, she grabbed him and continued to cry, he had taken her back, put a night gown on her and put her in bed, he sat with her, she couldn't stop crying, but no matter what he did she never said thank you. it hadn't occurred to her, for she was a selfish girl, she was used to getting things she wanted without saying thank you or having to do things for herself and never needing to say thank you. But he dismissed this, he continued to hold her tight, she didn't want to see anyone but him, she buried her head in his chest and sobbed, the sobbing continued most of the night. Until finally in the wee hours of the morning, when the sun crept in from the horizon, she calmed down, they had been up all night, she feared to sleep now, if she slept then she might not wake up to Darien. Though tiered, Darien seemed to still be alert and strong.

"Oh Darien, I was so frightened." she said, her head remanded on his chest as he and her sat up in bed,

"My, darling, I took care of it, never again will anyone touch my wife in that manner. never." he repeated bitterly,

"Do you promise Darien? You'll always protect me." she pleaded, her eyes full of tears,

"Never in a million years. I will always protect you." he said, she snuggled closer into him; in his arms she felt nothing could harm her. And nothing ever would. She looked up and kissed him, he deepened the kiss, as they lay down on the bed; though they were very tiered they found energy to do extra marital affairs.

Ha ha u no what I mean! TBC!
