It was very quiet; the ground beneath her was very soothing to her body. She was still in pain, though she was healing at an abnormal rate. She didn't want to open her eyes; she didn't want to accept reality.

She was in a dream world and she didn't want to wake up, her friends were all around her laughing and joking around.

They were all sitting under a cherry blossom tree in Juban Park.

All of them were in college except for Amy who was way ahead of them; she was already working for one of the most prestige hospitals in Japan.

'This was no surprise to anyone.'

Darien, her ex boyfriend held Rae, his fiancée in his arms. They both giggled every now and then. Serena didn't mind at all since she and Darien both agreed that they only shared a sibling bond (not that they're related but that just how they felt).

Lita and Mina were talking about their most recent conquests. After high school Lita went into modeling and Lita studied culinary arts in hope of becoming one of the best chefs.

"Hey Sere," Mina said "if your interested I know a guy that would love to go out with you." Serena frowned and cowered away from her, "NO thanks."

"Oh come on Serena," she whined, "how are you going to find Mr. Right if you don't even look?"

Serena shook her head no; "Mina the last guy you set me up with was a weirdo"

Mina smiled, and tried to hold her laugh back, "Fred wasn't that bad."

"Mina he had a freaking foot fetish," she said, "all he wanted to do was touch my feet and take pictures of them!"

Every one to laugh, and Mina just threw her hands up in defeat. "You're lost then" she said grinning.

'No my gain,' Serena thought to her self. Serena looked at each one of her friends, it gave her so much joy to know that they were happy.

Now it was all gone, because of that monster... she groaned in pain. Someone was touching her; trying to pick her up. She could hear the person curse in anger; she knew right away it was a man.

He held her against his chest, she couldn't see his face clearly her vision was blurred by her swollen eyes. She tried to speak, "I'm going to take you to the hospital."

"No" her voice was week, she couldn't go to the hospital, the doctors would wonder why she was healing so fast. "Please no."
