Chapter 7
Oh gosh people….I spaced and didn't even put a disclaimer in chapter 6….um
DCx2: I didn't own sailor moon yesterday…checks….nope still don't own it today
Darien knew she would come back. He was a part of her, she was a part of him. She had hurt him when she ran to Andrew. Despite all his evilness, he really had love for her. She was his other half.
"Serenity." Came the chilling word over her bones. "I've been waiting for you."
Serena had to make a choice. Darien stood behind her. She could strike at him now and feel the power of his hatred and probably die. Or she could love him…then strike at him later. She chose the latter.
"Endymion…." Serena purred, with her back still to him. "I've been waiting centuries for you."
"But what about your precious Andrew?" Darien asked, hoping to get the best of her
Serena didn't flinch, but instead whirled around, tossing her hair. "That poor fool? I was trying to fulfill his dreams before he dies for me."
"And he will die Serenity. Do not forget that. He's touched you, and now he has to die."
Serena herself didn't blink, but she felt her heart constrict. "NOOOOO!" she screamed and lurched at him with all the strength she could muster.
Darien was taken off guard by Serena's sudden attack. But he was much stronger than she was, so he easily just grabbed her arms and pinned her to him. "You are very strong willed, perhaps the strongest of the line yet."
"Why do you want me?" Serena asked, already knowing the answer
"You my dear, are my soul mate. It is my destiny to make you belong to me, and yours to become mine."
"I belong to no one." Serena stated calmly
Darien laughed. "That's what they always say." Darien whirled her around to face him. "Your eyes hold so much anger towards me, and I bet you don't even know why."
"I hate you" Serena said
"No you don't." He said, inches from her face. "You just don't know what you want."
"I want a life with Andrew. I want you to go away forever. I want you to die!"
Darien busted out laughing. "Now that hurts. Now don't be afraid of your destiny."
"I will face my destiny—"
"But you see" Darien interrupted, "To kill me, you will die as well. So it's really a no win situation."
"No…"
"Oh yes my precious. When you kill me, it is your destiny that you will die too. So you see there will never be that life with Andrew. You know the white picket fence, kids playing in the yard, and the barbeque on Saturday afternoons."
"I don't believe you."
"You best be believing."
"I will fight you."
"Now Serena, don't fight me. Just admit, you were happy those few weeks."
"I was…" Serena said defeated
"Just come away with me. We'll go live on a island far away, just you and me. I love you Serena."
"You killed my family."
"Serena! Why can't you just get passed all of that."
Serena finally broke away from him. "Get passed it? My parents were all I had in the world and you took them away from me. And you tell me you did because you love me." It was the final straw, the last oomph she needed to do what she knew she had to do. "If I have to die, then so be it. But you will pay for what you've done." And she ran. She ran back out of the house and he wasn't behind her when she stopped and looked.
"Serena!" Said a voice and a hand on her shoulder. Serena got ready to fight. "Serena it's me Andrew."
Serena laughed in relief and collapsed against him. "Oh Andrew."
Andrew didn't say another word and picked her up and carried her back to the house. And after they were sitting at his table, Serena was thinking to herself. "I know he is lying. I'm not the one who is going to die, it's Andrew."
Darien let her go. She was too strong-willed. If Andrew had never had come into the picture, then he'd have her right now. I guess you could say he was afraid. He was afraid because she could resist him…and that meant she could kill him.
"Andrew…we can't just sit here and wait forever. I have to fight him now or I will lose my nerve.."
"We don't have a plan Serena."
"But I do."
"And what would that be?"
"I have a black belt in karate. And I used to be a gymnast. That with a few weapons…sure victory."
"Don't tell me you are planning to fight him by yourself."
"Andrew…I won't risk your life."
"And I won't risk yours."
Serena sighed. This just wasn't working as she planned. She'd hoped that Andrew would stay out of it. She didn't want him fighting because…he would not survive.
"I won't let you fight alone. I can help you more than you think."
Serena looked up at him. "What do you mean by that?"
"I can't tell you just yet."
"But the legend says that I'm the only one that can destroy him!"
"Did you ever think of reading into it more than by what it says?"
"What!"
"Maybe it doesn't mean you yourself"
"No…it means me, physically. I have to put the wooden stake through his heart."
"Says what, your mother's diary?"
"Don't scoff at me"
"I'm just saying Serena—"
"What! What are you saying."
"That maybe they didn't know everything."
"And you do?"
"I know some things that you have forgotten"
Serena was tired of this…it was just going on in circles. "I'm going to make some wooden stakes."
Andrew watched her as she walked away. He'd hoped it wouldn't come to this. But he loved her just as much as Darien, and if it meant taking the extreme measure…it was his destiny as well.
Serena sat in the living room, carving sharp ends on the pool sticks she found in Andrew's billiard room. It would all end tonight.
AN: Omg this story is getting all confused lol. The truth be told I had back myself into a corner up here….so I had to come up with something new that is just out of no where and is probably going to disappoint and anger you….please don't hate me….lol
