Don't Walk Away
Chapter 3
Usual Disclaimers Apply.
Draco's eyes were wide as saucers. He knew his dad was evil, but to kidnap a girl clad in only her nightwear was ludicrous. What could the Dark Lord possibly want with her?. He almost laughed at her hysterics, but he felt the air change as well. He watched as he saw genuine fear and disbelief on his father's face. 'Perhaps there is more to her than meets the eye.' He thought as he sensed the Dark Lord's presence.
The billowing robes circled its prey slowly, taking in his new possession. "You're pure heart will not last the torture I have in store for you. Give me the ginzuishou and perhaps I will let you live as my slave." His voice hissed and slithered, echoing in the chamber.
"Never!" She seethed back, Cosmos control was slipping. It would be Usagi's fight for a while until she could regain her strength. Her blonde head drooped and her eyes faded to blue. She hung limply from her wrists. The only sound that could be heard was the approaching sound of footfalls. They got closer still, until they stopped right beside her prone form. She could feel the breath of another by her ear, yet was too frightened too look over. Suddenly the warm tickling sensation was gone and she though she recognized the faint smell of roses. Upon hearing a new voice speak she looked up suddenly and realized she was in her worst nightmare.
"I told you she wouldn't give it to you freely. And to take it from her is to kill her, it is after all her life force." Came the sarcastic quip from beside the captive.
"Mamo-chan!" Usagi was beyond words. 'What is going on?'
"Usako, don't worry I'm not here to save you this time. As Prince of Earth, I felt it my duty to welcome the new power rising in the magical world, and you are my gift Usako. You are of no use to me any longer. You were holding me back. Voldermort gave me the power to utilize the golden crystal. I can restore my kingdom to the utopia it once was without you." He explained charmingly as he looked deeply into her shocked eyes.
"What about our daughter, Chibi-Usa?! You loved her! I thought you loved me! I died for you countless times and this is how you repay me, with deceit?!" Her ranting was cut short by the slap she received from Mamoru.
"How could I ever love you? You and your mother were the ones who destroyed my kingdom. When I was reborn I was your lapdog with minimum powers. I was an embarrassment to my lineage. How dare you speak to me of sacrifices." He spat at her, venom lacing every word.
"Let me help you Mamo-chan! You are not yourself!"
"Let you purify me and return to being all that is good and just and give up this power? Never!" He replied in earnest, a wild look about his eyes. "You took everything from me, I am just returning the favor Princess." He turned his back to her and looked at Voldermort. With a nod of his head and a sick smile on his face he sealed her fate. "Do it." And with that he receded to the shadows to watch his plans unfurl.
Draco was beyond confused. 'Prince of Earth? That woman a princess, of what? And they have a kid and she's died for him? What in the bloody hell is going on?!' He knew if he stuck around long enough, perhaps he would get the answers he sought. This was just getting interesting. A small evil smirk crossed his handsome face.
A bony and scaly arm lifted with a wand in its claw like hand toward Usagi. "Exacto Persona" Voldermort hissed, and with every fiber of dark power within his being cursed the defenseless girl.
The curse hit her in the chest close to her heart. The pain was excruciating, worse than death. The pain began to subside, but the confusion within her began to boil.
'Who am I?' She thought frantically. 'I can't remember. Everything is fading.' A lone tear slipped down her porcelain face as she sobbed. "Who am I!" The words echoed through the hall.
Draco was shell shocked. 'What did he do to her?' He had never heard that curse before, but it seemed painful. 'She never cried out as it hit her.' He watched as she writhed in agony, and heard the laughing and mocking coming from the 'prince' somewhere in the shadows. He watched as her clothes began to change of their own accord. She was swaddled in white silk, softly flowing around her in waves. A glowing crescent moon shown upon her brow. 'She's beautiful…' He thought as he looked on entranced.
"It's beginning put up the shield that will confine that delicate purifying power of hers." Voldermort commanded of his servant Lucius, being too weak to do it himself.
Lucius began chanting as her power started to flare. The invisible force field started at her feet, but could be seen with the crackling of her power fighting against the ill will of those surrounding her. Her heart was longing and she almost wished for death, but her heart spied a glimpse of something pure in this evil dwelling. Her spirits raised and she could only hope. She reached out to that pure, untainted soul lost amongst this sea of hate. She nurtured it with her own and began to stitch her own with it, to bind them. This was her only hope for survival, and with her last recesses of strength sent a burst of pure energy towards the source and collapsed in a heap at the bottom of the sphere that served as her own little cage.
Draco felt a tugging on his heart and he felt sympathy for this woman. In all his 18 years of life he had never truly felt for another. He could almost feel her pain it was so intense. Her brilliant blue gaze met his cold gray eyes and he was lost in her. He believed he could hear his heart beat in tune with hers. She seemed to smile a sad smile and a feeling of warmth spread over him as all he saw was blinding white before he collapsed in his alcove.
"What is wrong with her?" Mamoru asked the Dark Lord as approached the fallen princess. "It seems as if she keeps changing identities." He stated.
Her clothes and hair seemed to slip in and out of each person she held within her small body. From her princess gown, to the battle garb of Cosmos, to each different transformation as Sailor Moon, to Usagi herself clad in pink bunny pajamas.
"What did you do to her?" Mamoru asked again.
The weak Dark Lord was taking his seat on a broken pillar in the dungeon trying to catch his breath. 'Perhaps I put too much energy into that curse.'
"It was a curse to bring forth the wielder of the ginzuishou." He said rather breathlessly. "Something seems to have gone awry."
"You fool! They are all wielders of the ginzuishou!" With that Mamoru disappeared into a dark portal before he did something rash.
Draco groggily lifted his head trying to figure out where he was. He realized the dungeons and thought to get back to his sleeping quarters before he was found missing. Slowly he dragged himself back to his bedroom and fell into a fitful sleep filled with dreams of a fallen kingdom, a rebirth into a new world with new foes, and the love of friendship and the hurt of betrayal.
