Darien's and Samara's Date Chapter 14
Darien and Samara were closer now, they were with each other just about 24/7. Darien and Samara were walking down a dirt path, in the forest by the park, with their arms around each other's waist. Darien was wearing a black wool sweater, with a black jacket and dark blue loose jeans, Samara was wearing a black wool pants and sweater set and a black jacket and had a black backpack. They walked deep into the forest, not speaking. They found the a nice clear glade, where Samara open the backpack and took out a wool blanket and laid it on the ground, then took out two more, and a thermos of hot chocolate. They sat on the blanket and wrapped themselves in the other blankets and drank the hot chocolate. "Samara?" "Hmm?" "Come here," Darien place down his drink and opened his arms for Samara. She smiled and went into his arms. He wrapped his arm around her, and then pick up his drink. They drank the drinks in silent. They finish and put the stuff away, then laid down holding each other tightly. Samara buried her face into Darien's chest and soon was asleep, she hadn't been sleeping well, she had been having nightmares about her friends and them being tortured. Darien played with one of her bon-bon tails. He softly took her hair out of the bon-bons and ran his hand through her hair. Samara smiled and gave a soft moan. "Darien..." Darien smile and kissed her temple. Darien knew they needed to leave soon, so he softly shook Samara awake, "Samara......" he kissed her softly on the mouth. Samara opened her eyes and smiled. Darien kissed her again and Samara kissed him back. They stood repacked and started walking back.
They walked into Darien house and Samara place her pack at the door. They walked towards the couch but Darien took hold of Samara's wrist and pulled her to him and kissed her. Samara kissed back, wrapping her arms around his neck, while Darien place one arm around her waist and the other on her back, pulling her against him. Samara press herself against him, kissing him deeply and urgently. She wanted to lose herself with him so she wouldn't think of her friends and sister. Darien and Samara laid on the couch kissing and soon just curled up with each other. Around 1:00pm Samara cell phone rang. "Hello?" "Hello, my daughter." "Lorden!! What do you want?" "I want to tell you to be ready." "For what?!" "You'll see. Oh your sister said hi and so does your friends." "Leave them alone you bastard!" Dial tone. Samara started crying, Darien rocked her, there was nothing he could say. "I'm going home," Samara said after a few minutes. Samara gave him a quick kiss and walked out, "Samara!" Samara ignored him and ran into her apartment, Darien watching from the hall. Samara ran into her room and cried till she fell asleep, her mother and nana went out early.
Samara woke and looked at her clock, 3:47pm, it read. She got up, straighten her clothes, and went to start cooking. Darien was sitting at the table pouring himself a cup of tea. Samara was so surprised to see someone in the house, she screamed, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!" Darien stood up quickly and put his arms around Samara, she was still in shock that she pushed Darien back, breathing hard, "You scared the shit out of me! Are you trying to scary me to death!? Do you want me to have another breakdown!?" "Samara......I..." "No, I'm sorry Darien, I guess I'm starting to breakdown a bit, and now that Lorden called, I'm just......I'm sorry Darien." She took a step forward and rested her head against his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist, and Darien placed his arm around her. "It's OK. Want some tea?" "Yes, please. I could use some right now." Samara sat while Darien went to get another mug. "How did you get inside the apartment?" "Your mother gave me a spare key." "Oh, I forgot. Thanks." Samara sipped her tea. She stood and started cooking dinner. Her mother and nana got home when dinner was ready. "Its cold outside. Hello Honey. Hello Darien," said Ms. Zumo. "Did you kids have fun?" asked nana. "Yeah, we did. Dinner is ready, I made white rice with chicken and bread rolls, homemade." "Made yourself busy didn't you, sweetie." "Yes." "That's always good," said nana.
They sat down to eat, when the phone rang. "I got it mom, you finish eating," Samara got up and walked into the kitchen to answer the phone. "Hello?" "Hello, Kitten." "Who is this?" "Be ready, Kitten, be ready." Dial tone. Samara paled ghostly white, tears rolled down her cheeks, she started shaking violently and sweating. "Ready for what...ready for what?" she whispered. Samara fell to her knees, shaking like mad. She could barely speak, "Darien......Darien.......mommy..." "Honey, are you alright?" called her mother. Samara shook her head and whispered no. "Samara?" called Darien. Samara heard chairs moving in the other room, but all she was thinking of was Lorden, her friends and her sister. Be ready for what? she wanted to know. She heard foot steps and voices, She felt herself being picked up and carried. She felt herself being laid on her bed. A cold clothe was placed on her forehead. "Samara are you O.K.?" asked her mother. "Yes, I'm sorry if I scared you. I guess everything was suddenly dropped on me." "Well you just sleep," she kissed Samara on the forehead, and walked out. "Samara what happened?" "Lorden called again and said to be ready. I guess I couldn't handle it." "I understand, here drink this. It will keep you from dreaming." Darien handed her a mug, Samara sat up, took a sip and grimace at the taste. "I know it taste bad but it works. Go on, drink all of it." Samara groan, but drank it anyways, she needed the sleep. She handed Darien the mug and fall asleep. Darien kissed her softly on the lips and walked out.
Samara woke early, before her mother or nana was awake and make a cup of tea. She walked outside to the balcony and leaned against the rail, sipping her tea and watching the sunrise. "What am I going to do? How am I going to fight to rescue my friends if I keep breaking down?" she wondered. She sipped her tea thinking about what she was going to do. Samara finished her tea and walked back inside. She washed her cup, took a quick bath, dress warmly, left a note for her mom, wrote a note for Darien and walked out of the apartment. Samara taped the note to Darien's door and went to the Cherry Hill Temple. There she transform and started training on her own. She worked on her speed, jumping from tree to tree, checking her time. She worked on her dodging, by leaping and see how high she can go and how quickly she can go from running to dodging and fighting to dodging. After 3 hours of training, Sailor Universe stopped and decided to take a break. She de-transformed and looked at her watch, which read 9: 25am. Samara walked down the street, she decided not to take the bus and went to Starbuck and order a mocha frappachino for herself. Then she walked back to the Cherry Hill Temple. She got there and saw Darien, she handed him a hot swiss mocha coffee, she had also order. "Thanks for coming, Darien." "How long have you been here?" "About 3 hours." "Why did you ask me to come here?" "I wanted to train with you, it better training with someone then alone." "Yeah, I'll train with you." "Thanks Darien." Darien stood up and kissed Samara on the forehead, "Your welcome."
They finish their coffees and transform and started training. "Damn, Sailor Universe your getting fast." Sailor Universe nodded. They keep working for another 2 hours. Darien called the training to a stop. They de-transformed and started walking back to home. "Today is New Year's Eve and you know what that means?" "Yes, where going to ride horses. I really miss Phoenix, we haven't gone riding in a while. I miss him." "I'm sure he does too." They went home and took showers. Darien came over for tea. "Mom, where going to ride horses tonight, is that OK?" "Hmm...I guess, do you have your cell?" "Yes, I got it and the batteries are charged." "Good, what time are you going to go?" "I don't know. Darien?" "I guess we can leave around 8:00pm, it's suppose to be a clear and starry tonight." "OK, mom does that sound good?" "I guess so, call me when you get there and when your going to leave." "Got it. Nana, you and mom got plans?" "Yes, we were going to watch movies." "I'm glad you found something to take your mind off Amy." "I miss her so much, but I know she is alive." "Yes, she is alive, I know it too." Nana smiled a sad smile, that made Samara's heart ache. "She be back soon. I can feel it." "I hope your right."
8:00pm came and they left to the stables. It was a starry night with a full moon. "Oh, Darien the sky is beautiful." "I know." They reached the stables and Samara went to Phoenix. "Hello Phoenix, did you miss me?" "Yes he did you wont let anyone touch him, all we can do is feed, bathe and brush." "Has he been such a pain." "Yes." "Oh Phoenix..." they horse snorted. Samara saddled him and rode him to Rose and Darien. "Ready?" "Yes, Darien." They rode onto the path, neither of them talking. "Darien..." "Yes, Samara." "Do you think their OK?" "I can't be sure." Samara sighed. They rode farer along the path, they normally rode. "Wow there is a lot of trees in this area." said Samara. "Yeah, but we still have a clear view of the sky." "I'm glad it's so beautiful tonight, nothing could go wrong."
As if a cue, a evil laugh ran through the woods, scaring the horse, they leaped on their hind leg, making Darien and Samara fall off, the horses trotted off. The laugh came again. Samara stood and transform, "Eternal Black Universe Power!!" Next to her Darien transformed into Tuxedo Mask. The laugh came again. Sailor Universe shivered.
"Show yourself! Warrior Chris T.!" "So you know it's me...so what!" Warrior Chris T. appears just a few feet away. "Where is my sister and friends!?" "Oh don't worry about them you will be seeing them soon enough." "Yeah I would think so. Darien..." she didn't bother using his code name the enemy knew who they were anyways, "ready?" "Yeah." "Oh well isn't this touching. do you really think you two can take me?" "Yes," they said together. "Fine, go ahead and try" "Universe Star beam!" Warrior Chris T. dodge. Darien kicked Warrior Chris T, hard in the chest. Warrior Chris T. fell. "Silver Blade Beam!!" "Ah!" Sailor Universe smiled, then frowned. Suddenly Warrior Chris T. started laughing, an evil, eerie laugh, that sent shivers down Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Universe's backs. Warrior Chris T. stood up, still laughing. "Shut up!" screamed Sailor Universe. Warrior Chris T. disappeared but his laughing didn't. It seemed to be every where. Sailor Universe screamed, unable to take it. Tuxedo Mask wrapped his arms around Sailor Universe, she leaned against him. Suddenly his arms tighten, squeezing Sailor Universe. She squirmed and wiggle. "Darien?" she realized it wasn't him. "Darien!! Help!" But no one came. "He isn't here, he's gone," whispered Warrior Chris T. in her ear. Sailor Universe body went limb, her eyes wide and glassy. Warrior Chris T, dropped her, she landed on her hands and knees. He started laughing, then he and his voice faded away.
Sailor Universe stay where she was, still processing what just happened, "Darien…" she whispered. She stood slowly and notice something red on the ground. Tears rolled down her cheeks, as she walked over to it. It was one of Darien's roses. She pick it up, held it to her chest, and looked up at the full moon, in the crystal clear, starry sky, tears rolling down her cheeks. she cried out with her heart and soul, "DARIEN!!!"
