I'm sorry about the huge wait, but I've been so busy with all my mocks recently that its been hard to find any time to breathe let alone write. So this chapter is a little shorter than normal, but I like the obscurity. But you can take consolation that I got an A in Science, B in Drama and A in english! lol
Sailor Moon was standing atop a precipice, looking up at the sky. It was always night here, and normally the only light came from the weak stars and the moon, but now, the night sky was ablaze.
The Northern Lights were blazing above her head, swirling from hot reds and oranges to red and pinks. Sailor Moon was unsure how long she had been watching, but she was almost hypnotised by the beauty of it all. Every time a new wave of colour moved across the sky, Sailor Moon gasped, or smiled to herself.
A bright burst of deep green was dancing across the sky, and as Sailor Moon looked, she saw something falling from the green. It was jacket, the exact same tone as the sky above. Sailor Moon watched as it landed in the snow at her feet, spread out perfectly. It was big: it must be a man's blazer.
Sailor Moon took hold of each sleeve as though it was a hand and pulled the blazer off the snow. She was crying because the blazer was all alone out here, with no one to wear it. It was very sad.
"You mustn't cry". Sailor Moon looked up, and saw herself. This version was identical, down to the curl of hair which would not be forced into the odango, but looked different. Was much more elegant, taller and seemed more mature. She was wearing a long white gown and smiled down at Sailor Moon, who choked back a sob.
"You will go to death hand in hand," the other version motioned at the blazer, "you will be happy, and you must do." Sailor Moon didn't understand what she meant, and was about to say so when she heard Queen Beryl's voice telling her to leave this place. The blazer (whose sleeves she was still grasping) suddenly wrapped itself around her face and began to suffocate her.
Sailor Moon was desperately clawing at the fabric and trying to save herself. She heard that other version of her tell her to stop.
"You do not need to fight him. You are not enemies!" In her head Sailor Moon was replying, thinking this thing is choking me, I have to fight it, I will not let it win. It is suffocating me!
"You are suffocating yourself. Stop fighting."
Sailor Moon could feel her breath would not last much longer, and reluctantly decided to listen to this other person. She fought her instincts and relaxed, and instantly the green jacket was immobile once more, and when Sailor Moon pulled away the jacket: that other self was looking down at her.
"You see?" the woman picked up the blazer and held it so that Sailor Moon could put it on. Sailor Moon considered. It was cold out here, she should put it on?
No. She did not need it. She wouldn't need to put it on. Instantly the other woman was gone, leaving only the memory of the disappointment in her eyes. Sailor Moon glanced down at the blazer, and turned to find Beryl-sama watching her.
Beryl-sama scrutinized her intensely. Saying nothing, and then fading away as well. Sailor Moon was left alone with nothing but the blazing lights (now back to blood red) above her, wondering what this all meant.
