Chapter Eight
The whole room sat in stunned at the news of Sai's occupation, even Serena sat still and quiet with a haunted look of shock and disbelief.
"That can't be," protested Serena finally breaking the silence causing everyone to jump. "I've known Sai all my life, well some of it and I know he wouldn't be on the wrong side."
"It's true Serena," said Rini looking at Serena with a look of pity, she knew Serena's feelings for Sai ran deep. "If your future-self could be here, she would confirm it."
"I don't believe you," said Serena silent tears running down her face as the other scouts looked at her with pity.
"Serena, are you going to believe your mind instead of your daughter and your heart?" said Ikari shocking Rini. The fact alone that Ikari actually said more than two words and actually had pity in her eyes instead of absolute blankness shocked Ryoko too, who looked equally shocked and wide-eyed.
Serena didn't say anything just looked at the ground, her mind told her not to believe it and not to listen to Rini and her friends, but her heart told her the truth, they spoke the truth.
"Serena ask Sai yourself, and look into his eyes as he answers your question, they will tell," said Ikari as Serena leapt up and ran out the door.
"Serena-"said Rini starting to run after Serena before Ikari held out her arm to stop her.
"She must solve her problems on her own Rini," said Ikari shaking her head looking at Rini with sadness in her eyes.
"But-, I hope she can," said Rini sitting back down.
"So what are we supposed to do?" asked Rei anger flaring in her voice at thought of Serena being betrayed by Sai.
"You know what I think we should do? I think we should show him what happens when someone betrays our friend," said Lita slamming her fist down the coffee table her voice shaking with rage.
"That doesn't like a bad idea," said Mina. And to think I liked the freak!!! I really need to find better guys. She thought screaming at herself.
"I'm with you," said Amara.
"No," said Ikari rather forcefully. "Things will play out in the end, we must allow Shinsetsu to weave the fates of his life, then it will be up to Trista tell us what outcome is. If its bad Ite will cut Sai's life thread."
"So we're supposed to just watch!?" screamed Rei.
"No, you can comfort and nothing more, don't do anything stupid." Said Ikari squinting at Rei her eyes turning stone cold. Ryoko caught the look as well as most of the other girls, they all couldn't repress a shudder, but the look shut Rei up.
I hate it when she gives anyone that look, It's like looking at her promise of death, thought Ryoko not knowing the other girls were thinking along the same line.
Are they right? Could they be telling the truth? Questioned Serena as she ran toward Sai's house. I don't want believe them, but my heart says too. I need to know, I need Darien, she thought as she arrived at Sai's house and knocked on his door. Please be home.
"Hey, Serena," said Sai opening the door instantly stopping when he saw Serena's sad face. Uh Oh.
"Sai can I talk to you?" said Serena her voice neutral as she looked Sai.
"Yeah come on in," he said stepping aside to allow her in. " So what do you what to talk about?"
"Who are you?" asked Serena turning around facing Sai.
"What do you mean?" asked Sai.
"Do you work for Hecate?" asked Serena watching Sai's face, seeing his eyes betraying his face, she felt a crushing pain in her heart, she knew the truth.
"They told you," said Sai looking at the ground.
"Yes, how could you? I trusted you, I didn't believe them I didn't want too, how? Why?" she asked tears running down her face feeling an anger like never before rising in her stomach.
"Serena I-I" he started before being cut off by Serena.
"I TRUSTED YOU! YOU LIED! YOU NEVER WENT TO AMERICA YOU HELPED HECATE KILL MY FRIENDS!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HOW COULD YOU!!!???" she screamed slapping him on the face. "No I don't want to hear it, I'm leaving, don't ever talk to me" she said walking to the door and opening. " Next time we meet one of us will die," she said her voice stone cold, and her eyes held the threat, before walking out the door, leaving Sai standing there.
"DAMN It!!" he yelled banging the wall before sliding down the wall. It was too soon, I actually believe her promise, anyway time to drop the nice face time to get cruel. He thought before standing up feeling a steely resolve taking a hold of him.
Rini heard Serena walk inside the house later that night, and looked up from her book and saw Serena walk by with a neutral look.
"Serena, may I come in?" asked Rini standing in Serena's door.
"Yeah, sure," said Serena with a cheerfulness in her voice, that Rini knew to be fake. She knew Serena was trying with all her self- will not to fall apart in front of Rini. She knew from watching her mother's face in the future every time she saw Sai, a tortured look would be in her eyes, she just never the connection between the both of them.
"Are you okay?" asked Rini sitting next to Serena on the bed.
"Yeah," said Serena not completely looking at Rini. I better wait till later, thought Rini standing up.
"If you need to talk, just ask," said Rini hugging Serena before walking out of the room and into her room.
Serena changed into her pajamas and lay down in her bed thinking about the events. She never even realize it when Luna jumped up onto her bed, it was obvious she knew because Luna didn't berate Serena. Turning off the light, Serena turned around to face her window, seeing the perfect crescent moon shining through her window, and she finally broke down. Luna apparently heard Serena sobbing because she got up and snuggled next to Serena feeling her tears run onto her fur.
Meanwhile on the dark side of the moon Hecate watched the events down on Earth with a growing since of menacing satisfaction. "Game, set, and matched," he laughed cruelly sending shivers down his servants spine. "Just let them find out and friends against friends equals death," he smiled showing off white teeth with sharp canines. "Revenge is sweet when you play your cards right!"
