An Interesting Revelation

The scouts stared at the stranger with wide eyes. Who was this girl? A witch? No way!
Serena turned to look at the people around her and frowned at their shocked faces. Maybe it was a mistake to show them her powers. Maybe they weren't witches after all and if that was so then she was in serious trouble. She glanced at the door out of the kitchen and edged her way towards it slowly so as not to catch their attention but she already had it so the girl with the brown hair and flashing green eyes stepped in her way before she could make a get away.
Serena huffed in defeat.
"You aren't going anywhere until we get some answers." The one called Lita said.
Serena stepped back, scared. "Please do not burn me at the stake I beg of you!" she pleaded, her eyes wide and teary.
They all gazed at her in wonderment. Burning? Stake? Was she crazy or what?
"We'll do no such thing." Stated Amy.
Serena breathed a sigh of relief but then she eyed them suspiciously. "Then what will you do with me?"
"We just want to ask you some questions." The girl with the blue hair and eyes said.
"Fine, ask away." And Serena sat on the kitchen floor and crossed her legs, she looked up at the people and waited.
"No no get off the floor. We'll move to the living room and sit on a nice sofa." Said Lita.
"Sofa?" Serena asked as she was suddenly picked up off the floor and carried to the living room. She instantly became scared and screamed, her power surging and pushed Lita, the one holding her, against the opposite wall. Serena landed on her butt, breathing heavily. She curled up and hid her face.
The scouts rushed over to Lita to make sure she was okay but she brushed them off and stood up. "I'm fine. Just had the wind knocked out of me." She stated. They all turned back to Serena.
"I though she wasn't evil Raye." Said Mina.
Raye rubbed at her chin. "I don't get any evil vibes from her. Lita probably scared her, just grabbing her like that. We'll just let her stay on the floor."
They nodded and took their seats around the room.
After it was quiet for a while Serena looked up at the strange people, still scared.
"What is your full name?" asked Amy
Serena whimpered. "Serenity de Lune."
The scouts and Darien all looked at each other. The cats sat on the table and stared at Serena. Not daring to talk.
"How old are you?" Mina asked.
"15" was the answer.
"Just like us!" squealed Mina.
Serena smiled softly, warming up to the bubbly girl who looked so much like herself.
"Where do you live?" asked Raye, taking up the questioning.
"At a village near Shadow Lake."
"Where is Shadow Lake?"
"In Japan."
"Where in Japan because we are in Japan."
Serena perked up at the question then looked confused. "How can we be in Japan? This looks nothing like my home. Actually that lake that I came out of yesterday looked a lot like my lake but it was cleaner and not as over grown." She commented.
Amy made a mental note about that as she listened.
"Do you have any family?" asked Raye.
Serena shook her head. "All I have was the crazy old spinster that I lived with since I was young. She took care of me." She looked down at her dirty dress and a tear slipped down her cheek.
The girls looked on in sympathy. The poor girl, even if she was a witch. Amy leaned towards Mina and Raye and whispered to them. If she came out of the lake yesterday do you think she's the one that dusted that monster? If she is a witch she would have the power to do that."
They nodded and looked back at the girl before them. "Are you the one that defeated that monster yesterday?" asked Mina.
Serena's eyes widened. "Umm..uh..you see.." She stuttered.
"Yes?" questioned Raye.
"What would you say if yes I did do it? And how would you know by the way? I didn't see you there." Her blue eyes sparked to life.
Darien watched with silent interest. This girl was something else, that was for sure.
"We were there. We were just wearing our sailor uniforms." Said Lita.
"Sailor Uniforms?" asked Serena.
"Yeah, those cute little outfits you saw." Smiled Mina.
"Oh." Responded Serena. "Well if that was you then you must be witches! You did magic as well. Can everybody do magic now? They do not threaten to burn you at the stake?" Serena leaned forward slightly then her eyes dimmed as she remembered almost burning at the stake and then drowning. "It is not a very good feeling." She mumbled.
"What was that?" asked Darien.
"Nothing."
Amy sighs as she looks at the pitiful girl. "No we can't do magic, at least not without being in our sailor outfits, but we aren't witches. No not everyone can do magic and burning people at the stakes was outlawed centuries ago."
Serena perked at that. "Really? So I shall not be burned for being a witch? That is such wonderful news."
"So when were you born?" asked Mina.
Serena blinked. "July 31, 1677."
"What!"
They all looked at the cats on the table. And Serena gapped at them. "Did you just talk?" She pointed to the black cat with the crescent moon on its head."
Luna jumped off the table and walked up to Serena. "Did you just say that you were born over two centuries ago? 1677?"
Serena's hand was still pointed at Luna and it started to shake. Suddenly her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Darien shot up out of his seat before anyone could move and stopped her from hitting her head on the table. He looked up at his friends and blushed.
Mina and Lita smirked knowingly. "Is Tuxie smitten?" Lita asked.
Darien scowled and refused to answer as he held Serena in his arms.
"You would think a witch wouldn't faint over a talking cat." Stated Luna, slightly offended.
"Don't take it personal Luna. We all love you." Said Amy.
Luna sniffed and flicked her tail as she looked at the girl that may or may not be their princess. This needs further investigation.
"Where should I put her?" asked Darien.
Raye sighed and pointed towards her bedroom. "Put her in my bed. We'll all sleep her tonight and pick this up tomorrow. Grampa won't ask any questions. I can't believe the day got away with us as it did. Its already dark."
They filed into Raye's room where Darien set Serena down in the bed and pulled the covers over her and they all settled down to sleep.
