Serena was surprised to find them at the park. Usually he took her out to see a movie or dinner then to the park for a stroll and 'make-out' session that always ended with Darien mad at her. No matter how much she loved him she couldn't bring herself to go as far as he wanted them to go. She couldn't explain it, it just seemed....

"Look its a full harvest moon" Serena pointed out, gazing longingly at her home.

The scouts didn't realize she had more memories then they seemed to have of the once glorious Lunar Kingdom. Even though she didn't remember everything by a long shot. Serena still hesitated to tell them for fear they would be harder on her for not being more like the princess Luna had described to them.

(AUTHOR: Ever notice how its always Luna who tells everyone about Serenity and Arty always backs her up. Could Luna have a bad memory or be mixed up with her mother or even better...Have hero worship? Luna does seem to idolize Serenity.)

The moon smiled almost joyfully down upon her child. Its rays seeming to caress the golden haired beauty who looked at peace and graceful standing in the beams of cascading light. At this moment any person passing by would think they had seen a Goddess.

Serena stood perfectly still with her eyes closed and head slightly tilted back, her name sake smile upon her face. She looked truly happy there. But the moment was ruined when Darien grabbed her and pulled her to him. "Mine" he whispered before hungrily claming her lips in a forceful kiss.

Serena was shocked. Sure he had been rough before but this time she hadn't seen it coming. And his hand on her arm was hurting her. She'd have another bruise to add to the ones from that afternoons battle. (AUTHOR: It happened on her way home from detention. You all can pretty much guess what happened. Its the same old thing that happens in everyone else's stories.) 'Uh oh' she thought as she felt his other hand move south. She tried to push away but his grip was to strong. Finally the hand came to rest on her breast where it gave a painful squeeze and let go. He stepped back but kept his hand firmly, but looser, on her arm.

She was still recovering from the kiss when he mumbled "Serena, sleep with me." She was so taken aback she hardly had time to register the fact that it wasn't a question. "Darien, you know I love you but I cant. I just..." the blonde was at a loss for words. "You don't realize the effect you have on me" he said huskily, bringing himself closer to her.

Her eyes widened. She just found out the effect she had on him. It was poking her in the leg. Most girls would blush, others would be flattered, but Serena was scared. Darien seemed to turn into a totally different person at that moment. He was no longer the man who fought with a rose and a fancy speech, but a man who was so much stronger then she...

Serena tried to step back out of his embrace but just wound up falling onto the grass. It was then she noticed he had lead them to an accolade of bushes and trees. No one else was around and if something happened no one would see... Fear rolled in the young girls stomach. She hadn't expected this...not from him. Not her love, not her prince, not the man currently unbuckling his BELT!

Panic rose in the place of fear. But before Serena could scream he was on top of her stuffing his handkerchief in her mouth then using his belt as a gag. He stepped back and chuckled "Poor meatball head, no one here to save you. You really are stupid to think I could ever love YOU. Its your power I love, your kingdom I want, and your body I crave. Your stupidity and childishness will not do. No, not for MY Queen. You need to be taught, and that's what I'll do."

During Darien's speech he had made short work of her close that lay torn and forgotten in a corner where they where tossed. Terror was plain to see in her eyes. She tried to fight, she really did. He was just too strong, so much more then she was. And any struggles she made were met with blows, blows he seemed all to happy to deliver.

When he was finished he removed the gag and just left her there.

Serena was lost. Her mind played the horrendous evening over and over, yet no more tears would come. She just laid there staring at nothing and thinking nothing. Dry tears mingling with bruises and cuts. For a girl once so full of life and brimming over with emotion, she seemed dead, unable to feel anything but the pain between her legs and the bruises on her body.

She laid still curled into herself oblivious to the world. Who knows how long Serena was there before she rose with stubborn lips clamped together to prevent the scream of pain rising in her throat. She gathered her close and slowly put them on. They where dirty and torn in a few places but they would have to do.

The Moon wept for its child for it had seen everything. Change was coming and with it rebirth, but not of the body, but of the mind and soul. First pain must come which time will lesson to sadness. The Moon knew the trials ahead for the Lunarian Princess where going to be hard but it was a river that must be crossed. They where as stepping stones to redemption and life. You must not skip one for risk of missing another and falling into the ever flowing waters and being whisked away. Perhaps Death waited her on the opposite bank . Maybe it was love and happiness. Either way the tide was set and the flow of events begun.
