Hey everyone! I know it has been a long time since I updated this story
(Almost two friggin years!). So I hope that some people will actually enjoy
this, since all I had before was the prologue. Oh. and one last thing, if
anyone knows where Fanfiction.Net moved all the Original stories that used
to be on this site, the first (counts on hand) 4 people who tell me the
correct new address will get mentioned in the next story I do! So here it
is. at long last, enjoy!
Chapter One: Dreams?
It was a beautiful, warm sunny day at the middle school that Serena and her friends attended. Not that she would notice, as she was currently sleeping (not so quietly) through her final class of the day. She figured that the teacher wouldn't care, seeing as it was the last day of school before she would attend high school. right after summer break that is.
She dreamed as she slumbered, a smile forming on her face as her subconscious painted her a portrait of things that would come in her future. She pictured herself in her twenties, wearing a flowing white bridal dress, walking down the aisle to her waiting groom, her beloved Darien. In the distance, she could see the spires being built out in the middle of Tokyo that would one day form part of the structure that would be their palace in Crystal Tokyo. She turned her gaze back to her soul mate. but all she saw was black instead. She started to panic, as what she would normally do in these kinds of situations. She turned around suddenly when she heard a 'clunk' behind her, staring directly into a pair of blue eyes. her own, once she realized she was staring at a full length, ornate mirror, which show cased her more matured looks and the shimmering gown she wore. As she watched, her reflection began to shift, morphing backwards in time, till she appeared as she would today, a 15 year old young woman, clad in her school outfit. The mirror shifted once more, but instead of showing her reflection, it showed an open field, bright green grass and beautiful flowers surrounding a tall and proud oak tree, which sat all alone under a clear azure sky. She meant to press herself closer to the mirror, a strange feeling of déjà vu overcame her as she recognized this place, but like Alice and her Looking Glass, she fell through the portal instead, landing on top of the soft grass. She peered over her shoulder to find that the entrance through the mirror had vanished, but she didn't care, wanting to draw closer to the tall tree, wanting very much to see if an old friend of childhood's past still resided here. With each slow step, a faint melody could be heard rising from the other side of the tree. Closer and closer she came, realizing that it was a voice. there was no lyrics or any words at all to the tune, just a deep, sorrowful sound that resonated, filling her with a despaired heart. As she peered forward, she could make out the figure of someone leaning against the tree, looking up to the heavens with a longing look. He had wavy, deep brown hair, and the she could just barely make out his jade eye, seeing only half of his body from the side. He wore a deep black T-shirt and a pair of faded jeans, a belt holding them to his body and a pair of worn out sneakers on his feet. She was less than 4 yards away when the young man before her stopped his song, his right eye swiveled to fall upon her form, looking at her with malice, which caused her to take an involuntary step back before she realized that his anger was not directed at her.
"What do you want? And who the hell are you?" his baritone voice inquired, holding a southern accent like the one she heard in the movies, but not so stereotypically thick like the red necks she saw in those films. He didn't even turn to look at her with both eyes.
He voice caught in her throat when she heard him, at the same time knowing who he is and wondering who he was. The only thing she could utter was "Brad.?"
He chuckled, closing his eyes as he no longer looked at her "No. that is my name.. I asked what was yours?"
"Brad. don't you remember me. it is me. Serena. Serena Tsukino," she said, taking a step closer, wondering why her dreams were showing her this older version of a long, almost forgotten imaginary friend.
She could see his lips repeating her name, as if to try and place it. Then he laughed, a chuckling sound issuing from his throat as he stood away from the tree and faced her. If she was afraid of the harshness of his voice before, then the sight that stood before her made her scream as if she was witnessing a murder.
The entire left side of his face was like melted cheddar, a slick with burn scar tissue. No hair remained on the top or at his eyebrows, his entire left eye was sealed shut, having fused together from whatever inferno gave him these wounds.
His right eye shot open as he looked at her "Hehehe. out of all the people my troubled psyche could produce. why you of all people. a fictional being," he laughed harder "Oh. wow. God. you've out done yourself this time. As if my physical deformities weren't enough. you now send 'this'?" he motion at Serena, who reeled from being implied as nothing more than a thing.
"But. Brad. don't you.," she held up her hand as she came in closer, determined to figure out what was wrong with this boy, which might help her explain her own troubled mind, since he was just a figment of it.
"GOD DAMMIT! WHY THE HELL CAN I NOT GET ANY PEACE!? EVEN IN MY OWN FUCKING DREAMS!!!" he screamed, slamming his fist into the oak, which filled the air with an unbearable boom..
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*BOOM!* "MS.TSUKINO!!!" screamed her teacher, who hovered over her
desk, clutching the thick book that she just slammed hard into her
student's desk to
wake her, knuckles white as a vein popped in her forehead.
"WAAAAH!!! I am up! I am up!" Serena shot straight up. a sweat drop on her head as she stared at her fuming teacher.
"Ms. Tsukino. could you just humor me this one time and STAY THE HELL AWAKE DURING MY CLASS!!!" she grew giant sized, head becoming super deformed, huge fangs and fire formed in her mouth.
Serena nodded meekly, which drew uproarious laughter from the rest of the class, which soon came to an abrupt halt the moment the teacher glared at the rest of the class. The bell rang and students began to file out. "Have a good summer. and don't be a bit scared of starting high school!" she called out, slumping into her chair behind her desk.
As Serena walked out of class, both holding her head low from the berating she received and pale as a sheet from her horrible nightmare, she didn't even notice her azure haired best friend, Amy Muzino, who was chuckling. "Really, the teacher is right after all. you do need to sleep more often. outside of class that is" she winked at her sulking friend.
As the rounded the corner of the street that would lead them home, a black cat leaped out and sat on top of the concrete wall, looking down at the two Sailor Scouts. "I am glad I found you girls. I want you both to meet with the other Scouts at Rei's temple" Luna told them both.
"What for?" Amy asked.
"I just got a horrible feeling. as if a Negaversian was in your school. but it didn't feel like it was entirely one. like a copy but not an exact one" she turned her eyes on cat eyes on Serena, who was fish belly white once more "Why Serena, what is the matter with you?"
"He. doesn't believe I exist. so how is it that he can?" she said more to herself than anyone else.
