Chapter 1: The Nightmare of It All
"Is she still in her room?" Amy asked Raye as the two walked into Serena's kitchen.
"Yeah, I don't want to try and make her come out. She will come out if she wants," answered Raye as she poured Amy a glass of water.
"It has been a year now hasn't it? That is why she is acting like this again."
"It is hard for her," commented Luna as she jumped up on the table.
"How long as she been in her room?"
"Three days now. She has only come out once or twice, but that was either to get food or go to the bathroom," answered Raye.
"This happened whenever he first was gone too, I hope it doesn't last for a month like it did last time," said Luna.
"I hate seeing her like this!" Lita said as she walked into the kitchen.
"When did you get here?" Amy asked.
"Just now. Is she ok?"
"She misses him and I don't blame her," replied Raye.
Up in her room, Serena could hear the four talking. She had been sitting at her window looking out as steady streams of tears ran down her cheeks. "I will always love you," she repeated to herself as more tears fell.
It has been a year since that fatal day when Darien left! I want him back! It is so hard for me to live without him and all I want is to be with him. My love for him is strong that it will never break, but why can't I find him? Why can't I? Serena thought to herself.
"Serena? Are you in there?" A small voice asked from outside the door.
"Yeah, I am in here."
"May I come in?"
"Yes."
The door opened and there stood Rini looking very sad. "I am sorry Momma!" She cried as she ran over to Serena and put her arms around her.
Serena started to cry harder now. "It isn't your fault Rini, it isn't your fault! There was nothing any of us could do."
Rini looked up at Serena with tears in her eyes. "But I am sorry still! Pluto told me about what happened and how sad and hurt you were and I am sorry I couldn't come till now. Momma wouldn't let me leave just yet. She told me to give it time. I am sorry!" She cried.
"It is ok," soothed Serena. Wow, ever Rini came back…and she called me Momma. She must be really hurt by Darien not being here as well.
"When did you get here Rini?" Raye asked coming into the room.
"Not too long ago," she sniffled.
"Are you going to be ok, Serena?" Amy asked as her and Lita joined the group.
"I am sure I will be fine," answered Serena as she tried to force a smile, but it didn't work and she just began crying again.
"Oh Serena!" Luna exclaimed as she too walked in and jumped up on Serena.
"I just miss him so much guys!" She sobbed. "I would have figured he would be back by now, but he isn't! I miss my prince! How can there be a Moon Princess without her Earth Prince?" Sobbed Serenity into Rini's hair.
"Serena, Darien will come back. Everything will be…" Mina tried to convince her but she was then interrupted by a red rose flying into the room and into the floor.
"THAT IS TUXEDO MASK'S ROSE!" Serena exclaimed as she immediately looked out the window.
There she saw Tuxedo Mask standing on her neighbor's roof. "Sailor Moon come out of there!" He ordered in a voice that was stern and had no love in it what so ever.
"Tuxedo Mask what are you doing out there come in!" She smiled as tears of happiness ran down her face.
The girls all ran to the window and cheered at once. "He is back! He is back!"
But Tuxedo Mask didn't make even the slightest motion to come in. "COME OUT HERE AND FIGHT SAILOR MOON AND THE SAILOR SCOUTS!" He ordered again.
"There is something wrong with him…he isn't acting normal," breathed Serena as she backed away from the window in fright.
"What is going on? Why is he demanding to fight us?" Lita asked getting ready to fight just incase.
"He is different," commented Mina. "I sense no love in his heart what so ever. Something has happened to him to make him change.
"Did you not hear me?!" He roared. "I said come out here and fight!"
The girls transformed and then went outside on top of Serena's roof.
"Tuxedo Mask what has happened to you?" Sailor Mars asked him.
He then appeared right in front of the girls. "My master showed me what life is really supposed to be like!" He sneered as he smacked Sailor Mars across the face.
"Don't you hit them!" Sailor Jupiter ordered as she tried to punch Tuxedo mask, but grabbed on to her arm and threw her down.
"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon cried as she watched her fall.
"Why are you doing this?!" Mercury and Venus asked at the same.
"Shut up!" He yelled as he raised his hand and rose petals that had electric sparks attacked them.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Mars yelled as she pushed Sailor Moon out of the way.
"NO!" Sailor Moon yelled as she grabbed onto the roof's ledge before she rolled off. She watched all of her friends bed knocked out by the flowers.
Tuxedo Mask laughed an evil laugh. "You can't save anyone! You are worthless!"
Sailor Moon pulled herself up and stood face to face with him and looked into his eyes. His eyes are different. Why are they purple now? They used to be such a pretty color. Something has happened to him, but what? "What happened to you Darien? What changed your heart?"
Tuxedo Mask laughed. "My master showed me what is best! He showed me what life was really like!"
Sailor Moon started to cry. "I love you, please don't do this!"
"Well I don't love you!" He then hit across the face.
"Ouch!" She screamed as she put her hand up to her burning cheek. He hit me…he has never laid a hand on me like that before in my whole entire life …
"You cry baby!"
"Stop it!" She screamed as she kicked him in the stomach.
He was stunned by the kick and had to take a few steps back. "You bitch!" He laughed as she regained his composure. "You will pay for that!" He then took his cane and hit her as hard as he could with it.
"Sailor Moon!" Mercury cried as she slowly woke up and watched Sailor Moon fall off the roof.
Tuxedo Mask looked down at the unconscious Sailor Moon. "I will finish you off later!" He stated as he disappeared.
"Serena! Are you ok?" Raye called out as she looked over the edge of the roof at the girl struggling below to sit up.
"I am fine," she managed to say through the tears.
"What is wrong with him?" Lita questioned as she jumped off the roof and landed near Serena.
"He has changed. His heart has changed. I can see it in his eyes…they aren't even the same color anymore!" Serena bawled.
