Chapter Two: Hidden Secrets
He smiled at her, searching her eyes for the slightest memory. She looked back. They stood there, eyes locked on one another, wanting more than that. He leaned toward her, reaching for her lips.
Raye's eyes couldn't leave his. They were stuck there, as if in a trance. He was about touch her lips when she snapped out of it.
"Who do you think you are?!"
"Well, I see your still as stubborn as you used to be."
"Stubborn?! Ok.I'm talking to someone I knew from a long time ago. Am I going nuts here?!"
"No. Your not. Let me make you feel better." He said, reaching to kiss her. Raye backed away.
"Sapphire, it's been too long! You left me alone. I couldn't trust anyone for so long."
"I sent you letters everyday. Did you not get them?"
"I got them. But they were all threats. You sent me death threats, Sapphire!" Sapphire looked puzzled. He didn't know what she was talking about.
"I sent you messages on apologies! I would never threaten you! I lo- "
"No! Don't even say that! It was your handwriting! It was your attitude! It was you! And I don't love you! I love Jedeite!"
Sapphire looked at her. Hurt ran through his heart. But then, the hurt turned to hate. He glared down at her with contempt. Sapphire grabbed Raye's arms and pulled her closer to him. She gasped, trying not to show him her fear. His eyes filled with a burning red fire.
But then she closed her eyes tightly, and she grabbed his hands. A sudden pain filled him. He screamed and let her go. What had she done to make him let go? He looked at her. A tear ran down Raye's cheek. Her tears usually followed by a soft smile, or a touching speech, but it was a tear of sorrow and doubt.
"You never would lie to me. We told each other everything. But you did something evil to have my hands burn you. You did send those letters. That power only works on evil. And you must be evil." Raye said, wiping away the tear with her arm.
She walked out of the temple and then began to run down the street. The snow prickled her face as it flew in her face. As she ran, she had more flashbacks. Raye tried to push them away, but a part of her wanted to see them.
She stopped in the middle of West Kolana Street. The snow began a blizzard and she grew colder. She stopped at a bus stop, hoping a bus would stop by at this late hour.
She stood there, wondering if all that could have been a dream. Then, the flash backs pushed through her.
** She ran to the castle, hoping to get there on time. Sailor Mars could feel the burning ground beneath her. Running as fast as she could, she still felt it wasn't fast enough.
When she arrived at the castle, she looked around her. There, right before her eyes was Princess Serena. She looked different. Her hair was a raven black and her eyes no longer royal blue, but red. Serena looked at Mars in an extremely horrifying way. Then, she charged at Sailor Mars with extreme rage. She couldn't move! Sailor Mars tried to force herself to gather energy, but her heart denied it.
"Serena! What are you doing?! Stop!" Mars said.
Then, Mars suddenly felt a slice on her neck and felt something dripping down her chest. She tried to speak, but she was in too much shock when she saw the blood. She suddenly became dizzy and fell to the ground unconscious. **

Raye awoke the next day in a strange room. It was beautiful. The walls were a beautiful pearl white, and the off-white carpet filled the floor of the room. Raye sat up and held her head.
"Oh god. I need some aspirin." She said to herself.
Then, a hand reached out in front of her and handed her the aspirin and a glass of water.
"Thanks." Raye said with a cold glare.
"Listen, I know you probably hate me right now, but hear me out, ok?"
Raye sat up in the bed and Sapphire sat down next to her.
"Fine. But only because I need a good laugh."
"Well, I came here to earth to see you. I don't want this to go bad. I blew off everything to come see you! I've missed you, Raye." Sapphire rested his hand on Raye's cheek. Then, Raye smacked him.
"You really are getting on my nerves! You came to see me?! Bull shit! All you have ever cared about was your self! So go climb a tree and jump off! Maybe you'll break something!"
Raye stood up out of the bed and faced toward Sapphire. She used to love it when he would tell her that he missed her. But that was a long time ago. On the Moon, he would embrace her in his arms and tell her that he loved her hundreds of times. But that was then, and this is now.
He looked up at her and noticed a mark on her forehead. It appeared for only a second or two, but none-the-less, it was there. It was the mark of Mars. He quickly stood up and starred at her with fright.
"You.your." Sapphire's words trailed off. He looked scared. All he could think of was the mark.and who she had become.
"What? Are you ok?" Raye took a step closer to him; he took a step back and disappeared.
~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~
"So where were you?" someone asked, coming out of the shadows to greet Sapphire.
"Long story. But I think I know who the Queen might be. I just need to ask the right sources." Sapphire said, gasping for air. Then an evil, yet promising smile crossed his face. "I won't let you down my prince."
