This chapter!

"Now, now, none of that." Diamond said in answer to my comment saying that he was crazy.

I glared at him, and spat in his face. "You freak, don't you know that you can't buy people's love? It's a true feeling for someone, and the ultimate sacrifice is giving your life for that person." I realized what I said, and thought, that's what my catholic friend said. A tear slipped down my cheek and I knew that I had to give him up. I said, voice cracking, "You win. I can't sacrifice Darien's life. Just don't... hurt him." More tears spilled down my face, and I looked at Darien's face, through my tear-filled eyes. His face wasn't what I expected. Instead of seeing anger, or disappointment, I saw understanding, and love. "I'm sorry." I whispered to Darien, and his eyes responded for me. They were filled with tears.

My heart reached out to him, and he was being dragged out of the room. He said, "I love you, Serena." My heart gripped with sadness, and tears flew down my face. I opened my mouth to reply, but he was already out of the room.

All of a sudden, "Serena," came from out of nowhere. I glanced to my left, and there was Diamond, smiling sickly. Ooh, how I wanted to smack him so bad. I turned to him, glaring my eyes out. Anger surged through my body with a mad fury. He came over to me, and started to untie my arms. He glanced over to me, and glared right back into my eyes. "What's your problem?" he asked me. I turned my head the other way to show indifference. He climbed onto me, straddling my stomach and looked as if was going to slap me. "The hell?! You chose me, willingly or not, but I have the power to hurt Darien, so if you don't obey every command I give you...!"

"Shut the hell up." I answered back. "Just shut the fuck up. You don't understand anything! You don't know true love if it hit you in the face! Don't you see the way that Emerald looks at you every time she sees you?! She loves you for GOD's sake! But with you being so incredibly dumb and pathetic, you will probably never get to experience true love! As for me, I know true love, I have those feelings for Darien!" I ended by shouting Darien's name at the top of my lungs. He responded by slapping me on my cheek. The next thing he did was take out a blade. He inched it closer and closer to my face, and placed the sharp end to my cheek.

He said, "Now wouldn't it be awful if a blade just happened to slip and accidentally, " he moved it to my throat, "and slit your throat?" my breathing got heavier and quicker and I could feel myself sweating. He traced the blade down my arm, to my hand gripped around the cloth with white knuckles, and off my arm. He raised it high in the air, and sent it down. I squeezed my eyes shut waiting for the pain to come, but instead, none came. I opened one eye and fixed it on my hand. He cut the rope that was tying me to the bed. I was free now. I took in my wrists and looked at both. I had to see my wrists to actually believe that I was free. My face turned to confusion, and he got off my tummy and went to the door. He opened it, and said, "Here's your chance Serena. Through this door you can get out and get free. Go save Lita and your lover. In fact, how about if I take you straight to them so no one bothers you? Be the little heroine. You'll get your praise, and I'll get jail. But hey, it was coming for me. So come on, lets go! Get your butt through the door!" I clambered off of the bed, and stared at the open door. It was too good to be true. Glancing at Diamond, I could see that he was sad. In his eyes there was the sadness, quite readable. I went over to him, and took his hand.

"Your heart is still pure," I said, "even though you have done horrid things." I turned to the door, and put my foot out in the hallway, followed by my other foot. I was free. It was too good to be true. I turned back to look at Diamond, and he was sitting on the floor, his hands covered his face, but tears were streaming between his fingers. A wave of pity came over me, and I knelt by him. I said, "Diamond, go to Emerald. She loves you." I gave him a hug, and I went back out to the hallway. As I flew down the stairs, I wondered why he had let me go. "Oh well, it doesn't matter, I suppose," I thought to myself. Once I was at the bottom of the stairs, I was at a crossroads. Should I help Darien and risk being caught again, or leave and get the police? Heh, that was an easy one. I raced down another flight of stairs, into the basement. Cautiously, I stepped off onto the basement floor. "Strange," I thought, wondering where everyone had gone. Unfortunately, I did not have much time to ponder this, because I was suddenly on the floor, rolling around, trying to fend off the person that attacked me. I managed to kick him in the nuts and escape his grasp. "The hell are you doing?!" I yelled out to my attacker.

"Get... her..." he said, and I was once again, pounced, this time, however, by four guys. I struggled and kicked and fought as hard as I could, but no luck. They soon had me in the air, two holding my legs, and two to my arms. The other guy got up, in spite of the pain I inflicted on him, and he said, "How did you get free?"

"Duh, Diamond let me free."

"He wouldn't do that. You mean too much to him."

"Well, obviously he did, or I wouldn't be standing... er... I wouldn't be in the air before you."

"You're lying."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"She's not lying, Sapphire." Diamond said out of nowhere. "I let her go."

"But... but..." Sapphire replied.

"So why don't y'all just put me down already?" I said, slightly ticked off.

"I've changed my mind, Serena. You should have left when you had the chance. You're going to stay here. Take her away, boys." Diamond said, leaving me utterly astounded. They took me to the chair that Lita was tied to, and there was Darien, tied onto it, unharmed. Oh thank you dear GOD that Darien is oka! They took me to the back of the chair, sat me on the ground, and tied my hands and upper arms with duct tape down onto it. They covered my mouth with it though. Erf. It's horrid being silenced like this. There was nothing to do except sit. Eventually, I started to fall asleep. It was the middle of the day, and I would be sitting through Ms. H's class right now, sleeping. The thought of it sent me right to sleep.

BANG! I suddenly snapped awake, with my butt and legs sound asleep. I opened my tired eyes, and looked around for the source of the noise. Arrg, I have a massive headache. A glance at a clock told me that it was seven o'clock at night. "Wow," I thought to myself, "I slept a long time." A glance at a calendar said that I slept through more than an entire day. I let out a slight groan, and listened for any more noises. What I heard astounded me.

"Stupid! You're going to wake her up!"

"I didn't mean to drop the pan!"

"Yeah, well, you did, and look where it's gotten you."

"What did you want with the pan anyway?"

"Duh, how else are we gonna keep them knocked out? We have to eventually hit them hard enough so that they get amnesia."

"But why?"

"How dense can you get? We don't want them telling everyone that we kidnapped them. And there is no way that anyone is going to kill them. That is, if no one gets mad enough to do that."

"So what about Lita, Ami and Greg? Didn't they just come in tonight? I don't understand why Diamond keeps on kidnapping more people. Its crazy."

"Stop being such a sucker."

With that, they left. I was left there to my thoughts, and my horrid headache. I groaned through the tape and tried to let sleep overcome me. Thankfully, it did.

Hey all! Well, that's it for Serena's point of view! Its your last chance to cast a vote for who rescues Lita is it going to be... Sammy, Diamond, Seiya, the girls, Greg or Ken? It's your choice! Really, it is. I'm not going by my own judgement. ^^ Anyway, please R&R, I really appreciate it!
