"Life Turned Upside Down"
Chapter 9
By: Tranquill MoonBunny
[Serena's POV]
'No…it isn't!'
I heard his voice even before his arms encircled me. I don't know how, but it's as if he was whispering it in my ear.
And then I was in his arms, flying up into a tree, just moments before the blast would have hit me. But my thoughts weren't even on the fact that I could have just died. I know, I must be a ditz. Anyways, like I was saying…Never had I felt more complete then in that one little second in which I was wrapped safely in this man's arms.
All of a sudden, I got this image in my head, of myself starring at a guy's eyes, while we stood on a balcony, him dressed in armor. And just as fast as it had come, it was gone, and I blinked, trying to regain the lost image.
Then reality came back into play. There I was standing in a tree, looking into these two gorgeous stormy blue eyes, and for once I couldn't think of anything to say. I know, 'the world is coming to an end, Serena doesn't have anything to say'. But still, it's like I was stunned into silence, a weirdly comfortable silence.
He was the first to say anything. I'm sorry he did though, because that's when he turned his eyes away from me. I think I preferred the silence.
[Darien's POV]
Here she was, standing in front of me, one of the most beautiful women in the world, and I couldn't say anything. I could have died a happy man, just starring into those beautiful sky blue eyes.
Yea, I know, now my minds possessed. But hey, I don't care. I'm just happy I was able to save her. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew that I needed to protect her no matter what.
Her blinking caused me to fall back into the real world. I looked down, and saw that the girls had finally defeated the monster on their own, and were searching for their missing leader.
"I think your friends are looking for you." I said calmly, not really wanting her to go.
"Um…I guess your right!" She took a while to say back, now looking down at her feet.
She turned around and was about to jump to the ground, when she quickly tuned her head to face me again. Her question was simple, but it still bewilders me how I answered it.
"May I know your name?" She asked
"Sailor Moon, you may call me Tuxedo Mask!" I said without even flinching at the ridicules name.
"Thank you for saving me…Tuxedo Mask!" She said, turning around, and jumping in between Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus.
Both scouts looked at her, then up, seeing me, my gaze fully on their leader. They looked about to shoot me down, but Sailor Moon, waved her hand telling them to leave me be. They looked at each other, and then looked back at my masked figure.
Sailor Mars called to the rest, reminding them of the battles ending. Sailor Moon began to walk with the two other scouts, away from me. I didn't know what possessed me this time, but before I knew it, I was calling out to the leader of the Sailor Scouts. My hand clenched into a fist again creating another perfect thorn-less blood red rose. As she tuned her face back to mine, her eyes caught sight of the rose falling into her open hands. I left.
[Serena's POV]
The rose was beautiful, that's all I could think. I looked up again, only to find my masked hero gone without a trace. He was a mystery. A mystery I swore I would solve.
"HEY…EARTH TO SAILOR MOON! Come on Meatball head, we need to get back to the limo." Raye, probably realizing that I wasn't paying any attention to her, grabbed my arm and began to pull me along.
No one noticed, or cared, when I opened my subspace pocket, and slipped the rose into it. I didn't feel like having a lot of questions thrown at me right now. I was in too much of a daze to answer anything of importance.
I really don't remember how I detransformed and got in the limo, but I know it had to have had something to do with the girls pulling me. I guess they thought I was in a small state of shock over the imminent death I had just faced. Maybe I should have told them who my savior was, but I told myself that all that could wait.
When we got back in the limo, Darien was furious with me for just up and leaving the protection of the limo, when it was dangerous outside. My response or lack there of, caused him to sit back and grumble angrily all the way home.
When we reached home, my first thought was to be alone. I quickly told the girls that I was really tired, not a complete lie, and preceded unaccompanied to my room.
'You should have stayed and answered their questions! Now there going to be worried about you when there is no reason for it…or is there.' My thoughts were all a blur at this point.
In the time it took me to walk up the stairs, and into my room, my health seemed to deteriorate. Everything was spinning before my eyes, I could hardly walk. I felt like I had a really bad hangover, not that I know what a hangover feels like…he he. Anyways, my feet luckily managed to carry me to my bed, where I collapsed, falling into a deep sleep immediately.
The dream, which I had been having every night since Christmas Eve, came quickly. But it felt so much more real this time, I just couldn't explain it.
{Dream}
I stood behind a large pillar covered in roses. My breath was ragged. I had just managed to escape the watchful eyes of my friends and loyal guard. My first thought had been to transport to earth, the beautiful blue planet that was forbidden to the silver millennium.
Now I was here, my biggest wish fulfilled on a whim of my fancy. I didn't have much time before the girls would find me. Just as I had gathered my courage to walk from behind this venison pillar, I ears caught the sound of footsteps. I gasped.
My intention had only been to come to earth and explore, not to meet its people, who were supposedly barbarians. My fear rose as the steps grew closer to where I stood. The goddess must have not been on my side, for the wind blew at that exact moment, blowing my dress into full view of the earthling.
"Is anyone there?...Show your self!" His voice range with authority and something else which I couldn't figure out, but made my body shiver as a feeling of warmth swept over me.
{Dream Change}
The ball was starting, and I could barely hold in the feeling of dread. I stood at the top of the grand staircase, watching the many beautiful couples dancing. My mother, calm and serene as always, sat on her throne, waiting for my company.
How could everyone be gay and cheerful, when at this very moment, the wonderful earth and it's prince could all be lost to the forces of evil. No one took notice as I looked out the tallest window at the sky, to the earth shinning with all its brilliance.
'Can this be the end of all I hold special? Is my love, still fighting his people in the name of my home? Will he come back to me?' These thoughts had been running through my head for days now, and with no word from my prince, how was I to know if the end of all I knew was close or not.
'Stop thinking those dismal thoughts… If he was dead, I would surely know… Wouldn't I?'
It seemed as if my body, giving me time to gather my thoughts, had begun to walk down the stairs on it's own. I held onto the gold railing with the little strength I had, keeping my legs from collapsing, as my mind was telling them to.
As I reached the last few steps, a warm hand was placed on mine. It sent shivers down my body. Only one person could get this kind of reaction out of my body…My love.
"May I have this dance Princess? It very may be our last...!"
My head turned, bringing my eyes in full view of his beautiful wonderful face. His eyes shinning with merriment and love, through the white mask he wore.
"Oh course... Endymion!"
{Dream Change}
My world was crumbling before my eyes. I could still feel the evil witches eyes glaring at my bowed head. My eyes were bleary with the many tears that were falling. And in my lap laid the dying body of my one true love.
I couldn't hold back the convulsive sobs my body was making, as I watched his life bleed away. How was it fair that this man die protecting me.
'It should be me!' that's all the coherent thinking my mind could make.
The man I loved with all my heart was leaving me more each moment, and soon I would be alone. Then I feel his hand on my cheek, and I open my eyes to stair into his stormy ocean blue eyes. The only thing I can focus on clearly.
"Do not cry my love!" He winces in pain.
Why must he die? Why must things end in this way?
I ask the impossible of the gods and him.
"Endymion…please…Do not leave me!"
{End Dream}
With the dream's end, I awoke to find my face wet with tears. Each night I went thought the same dream, followed by suddenly waking and finding my cheeks wet from crying. I didn't know what was going on, but all I know is that these dreams couldn't be from something I ate.
