Chapter 1

The Trouble-Maker

"Serena!" Raye shouted. "Why is my phoenix covered in syrup?" Raye was standing in front of her pet phoenix that was covered in Serena's favorite kind of syrup. Her mother walked into the room.

"Now, dear, just because your sister has a certain kind of syrup, it doesn't mean that it was her fault." Her mother said. "She was out training all day."

"You always take her side!"

"I do not. Raye, your sister has a big title to stand up to."

"And I don't? I'm the Princess of Mars and my bird is covered in earth syrup!" Raye shouted.

"Raye, stop shouting. This is probably just payback for you choclatefiing her crescent moon necklace last week." Her mother suggested.

"I said I didn't do that. I don't like chocolate. Unless it's white and that was a dark chocolate. And if I remember correctly, I was the one who found it."

"Raye, we have guests coming in a few hours. Get your phoenix cleaned up and get ready. Wear that red dress that you never wear." Her mother said walking out before Raye could object. Raye looked at her phoenix.

"Mothers are so mean. That dress shows to much of me, Tera." Raye said as she cleaned the bird

'She just wants to impress the guests.' Tera said telepathically.

"That's mother. That dress-"Raye left the sentence hanging. She mumbled to herself as she put on her dress with Tera's help. It was red and had no straps, which was why Raye hated it. It flowed royally to the ground in a silk way. On the left hip it had a pin of a phoenix that looked exactly like Tera only not her. It was her mother, Lan. Raye slipped on white leather gloves that went up to her elbows and wrapped a shawl around her shoulders. She walked out to the entrance of the palace with her mother as a carriage landed in front of the palace.

"Raye, must Tera go with you everywhere?" her mother asked impatiently. Tera had landed on Raye's covered shoulder.

"Yes, mother. It's a natural habit with us." Raye said as they stood on the palace stairs. She stood next to her mother as Serena stood on the other side. The carriage door opened and a man in royal clothing from Earth stepped out with a guard. Just as another man, a teenager by the looks, stepped out, the guard sliced off Raye and Serena's mother's head. Raye gasped in shock as the teen stepped fully out and walked to her. She had been watching her mother's body fall into a heap and her sister fall unconscious on the palace stairs when the teen snapped her head to look at him.

"You must be Princess Raye of Mars. I'm Jeadite and you'll be my wife wither you like it or not." Jeadite said. Raye shoved his hand away from her face.

"I belong to no man. I have a sister to help." Raye said as another man stepped out of the carriage.

"He'll take care of that girl." Jeadite said jabbing his thumb at the man, who walked gingerly over to Serena and lifted her unconscious form off of the steps just as Raye growled at him, "Don't touch her, murderer."

"Go Darien." Jeadite said. The other teen named Darien nodded and carried Serena into the house as Jeadite pulled Raye into a forced kiss that he put his passion into. Raye kneed him but he kept his lips attached to hers as the man who killed her mother get back into the carriage and left. Raye sent Tera a telepathic message.

'Go get Sailor Scout of Mercury. Tell her that I need some help on the moon.'

Tera sang in her ear before taking flight. Jeadite pulled away as she did.

"Where the bird going?" he demanded to know.

"Why should I tell you, murderer." Raye said thinking, 'By the power of the moon, he's cute. To bad that he killed my mother.' Not knowing that he could tell what she was thinking.

"Correction, my lady, my father killed your mother because of some overdue fees and in return my guard and I get you and your sister. I truly wanted you but your mother would not consent to your being married to an earthling. So, my lovely flower, you're mine now and I love you." Jeadite said lifting Raye, who struggled as best as she could against him, and carried her into the palace. Without help he carried her to her room and shut and locked the door as it dawned on her: He had been causing all of the mischief in the palace for the past month.

"Put me down!" Raye screamed pounding on his chest. He dropped her on her bed and before she could move, he place him self on top of her and ran his hands over her bare shoulders. He pulled the shawl out from under her and unzipped her dress, as she struggled harder against him but getting nowhere. Her dark black hair got messed up as she struggled and Jeadite ran his hand through it as he pulled her lips up to his and took off her dress as they connected. Raye continued to pound on his chest. She finally relented knowing that he was far stronger than her. He pulled away and looked at her.

"About time that you realized the you can't resist me. Admit it, you have feelings for me." Jeadite said getting off of her and removing the rest of her clothes and removing his.

"Fine, I have feelings for you, Jeadite. That still doesn't matter because of what your father did to my mother." Raye snapped trying to hide under the covers of her bed. All he could see was her head. Jeadite climbed in next to her and turned her so that she was on her back. He climbed on top and felt her beneath his fingers. Her held her small, but mature, breasts in his hands as he kissed her. He moved his hands down her bare white hourglass shaped body as Raye finally responded to his kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she absorbed the kiss.

Jeadite wrapped her legs around his waist as he plunged into her. Raye's head fell back as she gasped in pain. "Don't worry sweet love. I'll take it slowly." Jeadite said as he began to move farther into her making her gasp in more pain. Tears began to well in her eyes the pain hurt that much. Raye ran her hands through his hair and gripped it on pain. HE still caressed her body. "Are you alright, sweet flower?" he asked.

"I'm in heaven when I'm in your arms." Raye said before she could think about it. That made him begin to go faster. Their lips connected and they made out as he pulled out of her. She made a humming noise in the back of her throat taunting him. He smiled after pulling away from her.

"Now, why did your sweet little bird decide to leave?" Jeadite said causing Raye's breath to catch momentarily in the back of her throat.

"She left on my command. I didn't want anything to happen to her. She's been with me since I was born. She's all I have left for a mother now." Raye said as sailor Mercury appeared in the shadows of the room. Jeadite rolled off of her, a big mistake. She sprang out of the bed faster than he could stop her and grabbed her wand on the bedside table.

Holding it, she looked at him. "I honestly love you, Jeadite, but I must do what is right. For you and me as well as my sister. Mars Star Power!" Raye shouted. She was surrounded with a bright light as Mercury stepped out of the shadows. After landing on her feet and straightening, she stood, "By the power that was granted to me, I shall correct the wrongs that you have done. To me and my family." She said as 5the rest of the scouts appeared and Tera landed on her shoulder. "You stole my virginity from me and now you will pay."

She melted into the group and took Jupiter's and Venus's hands. The small group began to turn fire red and everyone was sent, memories erased, to the future of the earth.
