Chapter: 5
Summary: Everyone believes Raye is the Moon Princess they have been searching for. Darien's true identity is revealed as being the Prince of Earth. Will Serena's true form appear before it's too late?
"Raye," Serena choked out as Darien, who was just as shocked, leapt abruptly away from her.
"What are-" they both started in unison but then stopped to look at each other as hot tears were gathering up in the eyes of the onlooker.
"How could you? Both of you, I … I trusted you!" she wiped fiercely at the unwanted tears.
"Raye," Serena started forward as the same emotions overtook her, "I'm so very sorry. I didn't mean to-"
"Didn't mean to what? Hurt me so painfully? Get caught making out with my supposed soul mate?" she turned onto Darien, fire burning in her violet eyes, "And you! All that time you told me you loved me, was it some kind of game for you? Get as many girls as you can before I find out or is Serena just an exception, I never took her for being a slag but you've just proven me wrong, once again!" her neck snapped up as she tried to bring a cruel half hearted smile to her lips.
Serena stood quietly, her head bent down as silent tears fell unstoppably.
Darien stood, filled up with guilt, but quiet rage was building up inside of him at Raye's hurtful words thrown at Serena. Sure, she was mad, it was explainable. But didn't she know how much it was hurting her. It might seem so but she didn't deserve it, it was him who'd started it and both the people he loved were falling apart due to his over hyped hormones.
An arm landed gently on Raye's shoulder as the rest of the girls joined the emotional trio.
"Raye sweetheart, it's gonna be ok," Lita soothed, her voice slightly husky. Who would've thought Serena was capable of doing this, their sweet, innocent Serena definitely wasn't. The real Serena thought about other's feeling before her own, who was she then?
"Serena?" Amy, always rational, decided there must be a reason to all this unexpected show. There must be!
Serena looked up, the moon shining brightly on her cheeks which were highlighted with all her guilt and sadness, "I … I don't know Amy," she answered, "I really don't know."
"How would you know? Your body works faster than your brain, especially in your case, you … you imbecilic thing! There was me thinking you'd change, grow up for a change but this is what I get from you. Well thanks a lot, you've just done me a great favour!" Raye's bitter words were spoken harshly, bringing a frown upon everyone's faces.
Serena's sobs increased in volume, while Raye continued. "Is this the only way you can get guys to notice you, eh? Steal em' from your friends, you knew I loved him!"
Mina, who had been listening scowled, "Raye, I understand you're hurt but at least try to hear Serena's side to this. Before you and Darien got together we all thought she had a crush on him, which I actually pointed out. How do you think she felt when you two got together, with no warning whatsoever? Did you try and take her feelings in account? God, you want me to be honest with you? Serena could've persuaded Darien to leave you if she really wanted, she felt something for him Raye, something even I can't describe and it's better to act upon your decisions then to suffer in silence. How would you have felt if Serena told you she felt something for Darien?"
"Well, she didn't have to go and do that to Raye," Lita argued.
"Oh come off it Lita, you're the one who wanted to get Serena and Darien together before we discovered Raye was the bloody Princess. How do you even know Darien and Raye's love still exists? People change Lita, if their love was so strong it wouldn't have led to this. I can feel it Lita it doesn't stop here. Darien's got to make a choice, Raye or Serena. There's only one way to get this sorted, and it shouldn't affect our friendship."
Darien's eyes widened, "But what if I don't want to choose?"
"Well sorry to disappoint you Dare but it's either that or this ends right here right now with us all going our own separate ways. I understand our friendship won't be the same but I at least want it to last."
Darien's thoughts ran havoc in his mind. He couldn't pick Serena; there were too many reasons he couldn't. Raye and her friendship wouldn't be as strong, Serena was a wonderful person, and she'd come through it in the end. But did he really want to hurt her feelings? Of course he didn't. But there was the other option of Raye, he was meant to be with her, or so it was told. Decisions, decisions, he hated them!
