The Battle of the Forgotten Planet
Chapter Three
When Serena arrived at his apartment she was surprised to see the door open, she knew that the scouts couldn't be there yet, it was impossible. She ran in and saw that the apartment was still deserted but the window by Darien's bed was open. She ran over and looked out the window, trying to see anyone or anything that looked suspicious but with no luck. She looked at the bed and almost threw up when she saw the blood was still there, and the smell was disgusting.
She wanted to run out again, but she knew she didn't have long. She started by investigating the bed, getting the blood all over her and she couldn't help but let the tears leak out of her eyes. She finally saw something, it was a pendent and it was buried in the pillow. She pulled it out and saw that it was a dark crescent moon. She looked at it and couldn't understand what it could mean.
She put the pendent in her glove and started to look under the bed and in his dresser. She could find nothing else, and by the time she got done investigating the room she felt helpless. She heard the footsteps coming down the hall and she knew that she needed to get out of there if she didn't want to see the scouts. But she had the only piece of evidence and she didn't want them to look for hours and come up empty handed. She fell onto her knees and took the pendent back out.
She could barely see the shape of the moon threw her tears. She heard Mina gasp and run toward her.
"What are you doing here?" Raye asked, Serena could tell by her voice that she didn't know whether to be concerned or angry.
"I…I couldn't..." Her voice was cut off by the sob that came out of her throat. Amy ran over to her and pulled her up into a hug. Serena shook her off though and wiped the tears form her face. "I'll get blood on you." She whispered. The scouts looked at her and it was obvious they didn't know what to do. "I couldn't wait, I had to find out by myself and I knew I could get there faster then you if I transformed and flew." Serena muttered.
"Didn't you believe in us Serena?" Lita asked a little hurt.
"Of course I believed in you, this was something I had to do by myself don't you understand? And I found all there is to find, and I don't know what to make of it." Serena said and bit her lip to keep the tears away. Amy took the pendent and frowned,
"We will have to keep this and look at it later." She said and she put it in a bag with the sign of Mercury on it.
Serena nodded and started to walk toward the door. "Hold on Serena, there is one more thing that we can do." Amy said and Serena whirled around quickly.
"We can take some of this blood back and see if it belongs to Darien. Maybe some of it belongs to the enemy." Amy said thoughtful and got a vial out of the same bag. Serena looked hopefully at her and Amy smiled.
"How long will it take before we will know?" Serena asked.
"At least a week, I can't really take it to the police, unless you want me to, and I only have a slow model that deals with this type of stuff." Amy said and Serena nodded. Of course they couldn't get the police involved; the Sailor Scouts had never got the police involved with things like this. "Now come on Serena we have to get home." Amy said.
Serena shook her head violently and the girls looked at her confusedly. "No…I want to stay here, what if Darien comes back hurt? Or what if his attacker comes back?" The girls looked at her like she was insane.
"Serena, you can't possible stay here, your parents wouldn't allow it." Mina said and Serena looked at her with a smile.
"That's why they won't know, you guys are going to tell them that I am staying with you." The girls sighed.
"Serena if the enemy does come back, you call us on the communicator, you understand?" Raye asked harshly. Serena nodded and the girls filed out one by one. Raye stayed a little longer and looked at her again with concern,
"Serena we know how upset you must be that Darien is gone, you just got him back from America, and it was finally starting to look like things were going to be ok and be peaceful. But we will get him back, we always do." Serena smiled at Raye's comforting words and watched as she left and shut the door behind her.
Serena looked around the apartment and realized how alone she was, She went into the bathroom and saw that the shower was now off. Someone had been there, but whom? She thought about changing the sheets on Darien's bed but finally decided against it, what if Amy needed more samples. Serena knew that even by the time Amy decided she needed more that the blood would be dried. But she still decided against it.
She went and sat down on the couch and she realized how tired she was. She looked around and lay down. She slowly closed her eyes, knowing that if someone came in the apartment, she would know it.

READ AND REVIEW
Author's Note: This chapter is a little longer than the first two. I hope you enjoy it, and hopefully I will be able to update again by tomorrow ( I am pretty sure I will be) There may be some typos in the story (not sure) but if there is that is just because I am too lazy to go back and read it. Hope you enjoyed it and please review. Thanks to those people who have already reviewed.
