Chapter 9

Hey everyone very sorry for the delay but school has been busy with exams coming up and a lot of projects. But here it is finally chapter 9!

Darien sat there, the scouts surrounded him, waiting. He concentrated only on Serena; he pictured her, with her beautiful smile and big bright blue eyes, the sight of her in his mind almost made him burst into tears. He wanted her to be with him right now. He concentrated even harder but as a shadow was slowly appearing everything went dark. Darien opened his eyes, "I was so close..." The scouts looked at him, "It's ok Darien, it is late and you need your rest, we can try again tomorrow". Darien agreed.

Darien was lying in his bed looking at the ceiling and didn't even notice himself does off to sleep. Darien awoke with a shock in a strange place. He was in a dark place, 'Am I dreaming?' He thought to himself. He looked in front of him and a tall shadow was appearing again. He waiting in patience for the darkness to disappear and reveal the tall object before him. The fog lifted and Darien could see the object perfectly and it was familiar to him. He looked close, "It's the Tokyo Tower! But what does it mean?" All of a sudden the ground underneath him gave-way. He was falling at the quick speed until he finally hit solid ground. He looked around and he was in a sort of secret lair. He then heard a voice coming from the door to his right. He recognized this voice, it was Deimos'. He approached the room slowly then heard the cry of Serena and ran right into the room. He yelled at Deimos', "You stay away from her!" But no one even looked at him, so he ran right up to Serena and went to grab her but his hand just went right threw her. "Am I a ghost?" Deimos then disappeared into another room while Serena lay down in chains. She looked so sad and powerless. Darien hated himself; he wanted to be there to protect her, save her from all harm. He never wanted a tear to fall from her beautiful eyes, but so many times he had failed her. He whispered into ear, "Don't worry Serena I'll protect you, always". Serena stirred in her sleep and called out his name, she could hear him. Darien then gave a slight smile and vanished.

Darien awoke again, now in his bedroom. He looked around it was still dark outside with the stars shining brightly. He looked up at the moon and called out Serena's name. Then in that split second he remembered the dream and looked toward the Tokyo Tower, "I'm coming for you Serena!"

In Darien's apartment the phone rang, and rang, and rang. No one was home to answer. The answering machine went off, "Darien it's Ami, if you find out anything about Serena please call us, don't go alone, it's too dangerous".
