Celeste awoke in a damp, dark room. She looked around, the room was large and empty with a small window high up, she was gagged and a rope that was rubbing against her skin roughly tied her hands and feet. She began to hear footsteps so she laid back down pretending to still be out cold. She looked through small slits in her eyes before closing them completely. She could smell a strong perfume that was choking her. She heard an icy tone begin to speak as if she was speaking on the phone. "Yeah I have that bitch's kid, I took what was important to her because she took what was important to me." Celeste bit back a growl knowing this was the infamous Beryl Kyle, Katrina's mother. Beryl walked back out of the room, closing the door behind her. Celeste sat back up trying to figure out where the hell she was and how she was going to get out of here as the door creaked open once again.
Chase ran as fast as he could, he bounded up the stairs and entered the apartment screaming Serena and Darien's name. They came running out, Darien speaking first. "Chase? What's wrong? Where's Celeste?" Chase looked to him trying to catch his breath as he spoke in between pants. "We were in the park…van showed up…. kidnapped Celeste." Serena's eyes widened in fear. "No…" Darien looked to Serena the same look of fear on his face. "Serena… Beryl wouldn't go this far would she?" Before she could answer the phone rang, Serena answered. "Why hello Serena! Guess what? I have your little bitch." Serena's nails dug into her hands in anger, her palm began to bleed. "Now now Serena don't say or do anything hasty or I'll have to hurt her." Serena held her tongue. "That's a good Serena…Now to discuss the arrangement." Serena stood listening picturing how may ways she would torture and kill Beryl. "You give up Darien forever and I'll give you back your precious Celeste…do we have a deal?" Serena didn't even need to think she agreed automatically. Beryl smiled, "Good, Sunday morning we will proceed with the trade." Serena nodded and hung up. She turned and explained what would e happening in a day and a half.
Celeste looked to see Katrina grinning a bag in her hand. Celeste's heart sped up, "Shit… this bitch is as demented as her mom." Katrina walked over and grabbed Celeste's arm and dragged her over o the chair and sat her down. Katrina stood in front of her; she still had bruises on her face and other parts or her. Katrina launched a punch right into her gut as Celeste had tried to stand, which knocked the air out of her causing her to slump back in to the chair. Celeste coughed some as Katrina bent down and grabbed a taser. Celeste's eyes widened as Katrina turned it on and shoved it against her arm. Celeste screamed in pain as Katrina did it over and over until she blacked out hearing her maniacal laugh in the background. When Celeste awoke her whole body ached with bruises and welts and marks the taser had left. Celeste felt a slight draft on her back and realized her once waist length hair was now in choppy cuts about 2 inches off her shoulders. She realized her bangs were still fine so it wasn't so bad. She realized in was nighttime; she must have been out a day. She closed her eyes dreaming of her parents and Chas and how she wished she were home.
Serena sat with Darien next to her in the car and Chase in the back. Darien and Serena had spent their last together trying to be happy. They watched as another car pulled up and they all got out. Beryl pulled Celeste out of the car, she was bloody, bruised and tired. Serena clenched her fist, and both Beryl and Serena stepped forward. Serena released Darien's hand as he walked toward Beryl and Beryl pushed Celeste forward who fell into her mother's arms. Chase took Celeste and held her close soothing her trembling and crying form. Serena nodded and looked to Darien before turning away. "Just a second Serena…" As Serena turned around a sharp pain exploded in her chest as she fell to the ground. Celeste screamed painfully. "MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Serena gasped as she felt blood on her hands. Darien was screaming in the back of the car handcuffed. All of a sudden multiple FBI agents appeared their guns aimed at Beryl. Raye emerged, "Beryl Kyle you are under arrest for kidnapping and attempted murder of Serena Shields." Beryl screamed and began shooting at the agents, when a shot right into her chest caused her to hit the ground. Raye knelt down and checked her pulse. "She's dead…" Serena sat back up coughing. "Shit that hurts…" Celeste gasped. "Mom?" She ran over ignoring the screaming pain of her body. "What? How?" Serena unbuttoned her shirt revealing a bulletproof vest with blood bags. Celeste smiled and hugged her mom before fainting.
3 months later
Serena, Darien, Celeste and Chase were all on vacation in the Bahamas. It had been Celeste's 17th birthday present. Serena was beginning to show and Celeste and Chase had still been going out and was now on spring break. Serena stood out on the porch of the beach house when her cell phone rang she picked it up. "Hello? Hi Dr. Cruz…yeah…uh huh…ok thanks…" She shut off the phone and saw Darien walking back up towards the house when she screamed his name and went running up to him and jumped into his arms. He laughed and held her up by her ass. "What's up?" Serena's face glowed. "Well I got the results and… the baby's yours and we're going to have a son!" Darien caught her lips in a heated kiss, she moaned softly as she slowly broke the kiss, licking her lips. "I gotta tell Celeste!" She reluctantly slipped out of his arms and ran towards the shore.
Celeste gasped as Chase splashed her with the cold sea water. She now had her hair a little past her shoulders but in nice layers from her previous attack on her hair. Her wounds and bruises had healed but she was still getting over little things each day. She giggled as Chase swung her around by her waist. She saw her mom running over and met her. She screamed in delight and hugged her mom tight before waving to her mom as she watched her head back to the house before turning back to the water, Chase walking towards her, she smiled walking towards him embracing him in a tight hug. She looked up into his eyes. "Well… I have a new baby brother on the way." He smiled and kissed her softly before they headed back towards the house. Celeste and Serena smiled they both had the ones they loved with them and a new life on the way. They couldn't wait to tell him the fun stories of their life, leaving out little details of course.
