Changes Chapter Six:
As Ami and Mina got closer to Darien's apartment, they both became more and more overwhelmed with their anxiety. They both had seen how upset Darien was after Serena had walked away the other night and now they had no idea how he would react to knowing that Serena was missing.
"I just hope we don't have to tie him down or anything to stop him from doing something drastic." Mina said, breaking the silence that had hung between the two young girls since they had left the temple fifteen minutes before.
"I know what you mean. Darien can be awfully demanding sometimes, and especially defensive when it comes to Serena. I just hope that he takes it alright." Ami agreed as they finally reached Darien's apartment building.
Ami and Mina came to a complete halt directly outside the doors to the building. All of a sudden the building had an ominous look to it and neither of the girls were all too anxious or excited to get inside.
Mina looked over at Ami and said, "Well, we'd better go now or else we're going to lose our nerve."
With that said, both girls entered the apartments, with they anxiety building within their small bodies.
Serena opened her eyes very slowly, not entirely sure what exactly it was that she would find. When her eyes were entirely open, she immediately shut them closed again. The light was unbearable and she couldn't bring her right arm up to shield her eyes. She tried to move her left arm, but as soon as the muscles contracted, Serena gasped in pain.
"I must have injured my arm somehow. But when? How? I was just with my mother, perhaps when the light swallowed me I was transported to wherever I am now. I probably hurt my arm in the fall, but why can't I move my other arm?" Serena thought frantically, not noticing that she was beginning to talk aloud.
Serena's attention was brought back to reality when she heard her name being called by a very familiar voice. She knew the voice, but just couldn't remember where from. Serena slowly opened her eyes, so that they were little more than slits in her beautiful face.
Seiya was dreaming that Serena was awake and talking to him, but little did he know that it was no dream. Seiya woke up quickly, not really sure what it was that had woken him so suddenly. As he began to stir from his sleeping place, which was being laid across Serena's abdomen and right arm, he heard Serena's mumbling. His eyes flew open and he turned to look at her beautiful face.
"Serena" he breathed. His face lit up at seeing that it truly was Serena making the noises. "Serena" he repeated, this time a bit louder than the breathless whisper from before. He noticed that Serena's face began to change and her brow began to furrow. Repeating his angel's name once more, he noticed that she was beginning to open her eyes.
As soon as Serena turned to the source that was calling her name, she sucked in air and her eyes opened a bit more, even though it hurt badly.
"S-Seiya?" Serena mumbled as she tentatively began to move her right arm, which was now free for her to move and for the blood to start circulating again.
Seiya's grin grew into a full-fledged smile and he sat up completely off of the bed and gazed down at the beautiful angelic face.
"Hi." Was all Seiya could say, but then he noticed that she was squinting her eyes and she looked as though she was confused and in pain. "Is it too bright in here? I'll try to explain all I can, but give me a moment to shut the blinds." With that Seiya got up and quietly rolled down the blinds in all of the windows surrounding the circular room.
As Seiya was closing the blinds for her, Serena took in her surroundings. She was lying in a fairly large bed that was covered in a pale yellow satiny fabric. The room was circular and was painted a very pale baby blue. Serena sensed that a lot of magic had been used here fairly recently.
Seiya noticed Serena taking in her surroundings and only when she seemed to lay back and relax did he step up to the side of the bed, ready to tell her all that he could about where she was and why in all of the galaxy she was there.
Mina and Ami had finally reached Darien's door, but were now having a silent war over who was going to knock on the door. They were spared the decision when the door swung open in front of them and there Darien stood. The first thing the girl's noticed was how un-kept Darien looked. Every other time they had ever seen Darien he was always very well-kept and looked very collected, but not now.
The two girls' shocked faces almost made Darien smile, almost.
"Oh.um.were you.um.on your way out?" Ami asked as she took in the large bags under Darien's eyes.
"No. I heard your shouting about who will be disturbing me, but it turns out that it was both of you. Well done." Darien said with sarcasm.
The girls glanced sideways at each other and then Mina tried to act kind of perky and asked, "We really need to talk to you, can we come in?"
Darien didn't respond, but merely held the door open more to allow the girls' entrance.
Darien shut the door and brought them to the couch were they sat on the couch and he on the chair across from them.
After a few moments of silence Darien prompted the girls by saying, "Well, what was so important that you had to come over here to talk to me?"
"Well, Darien, the thing is." Ami began but she couldn't finish.
Mina took up where Ami had left off by saying, "Darien, what Ami's trying to say is that Serena is gone."
Darien's head shot up and his displayed a look of complete shock and pain. Unable to force words from his throat, he mouthed 'what.' Ami readily explained, "Well, apparently the other night when she walked away form us after the fight, you know -" Darien told her he understood with a slight nod of his head and she continued, "- well, she didn't go home or anything and didn't go to school the next day either. Nobody's seen her since that night."
"Did you look for her?" Darien asked with his head bent and his eyes downcast.
"Yes, Serena's parents called the police and all and they think that she may have been kidnapped or something. But, we don't know. We can't find her anywhere. Ami's computer won't find anything and neither can the police. We don't know what else to do." Mina sniffled a bit and Ami wrapped a reassuring arm around her friend.
What do you think? Why don't you tell me in a review? If I get at least 8 reviews for this chapter, then I promise that I will post the next chapter tomorrow (8/18/03). PLEASE!! I want to know what you all think! I thrive off of your input and compliments! I DO I REALLY DO!!!!! Okay, sorry. I'll calm down now, but I will keep my deal with you! So send in a review or TWO even! -Lara1786
