Chapter 2

Golden Haired Angel

Serena had dreams of darkness swallowing her. She felt herself being pulled into the dark fires of hell, and yet she didn't flinch from them. She felt her body reject the cold void, yet she didn't turn from it. She felt her mind refuse to accept the abyss, but she ignored it. Instead she found herself falling deeper and deeper into the eternal dark void as it swallowed the golden haired angel.

Abruptly she awoke from her deep slumber and let out a terrified scream. Instinctively she placed her hand to her chest. Beneath her delicate hand her heart beat wildly. Her breath came out in uneven strides. She closed her eyes and thought a moment. What had happened? She couldn't remember.

She placed a hand to her head and thought harder, but all that came about was a horrid headache that pounded in her head, leaving her nauseous after each throb.

She looked around and tried to take in her surroundings but became even more confused than ever.

The pure angel sat in a dark room cloaked in black velvet. Everything was draped in black; even the sheets to the bed she sat upon were black satin. Where was she?

She struggled to get off the bed and nearly tripped over a skintight fitting dress she was dressed in. She looked at it. It was white, with silver sequins decorated in mystic patterns. The dress was very revealing. It cut down so low Serena shivered and covered herself instinctively.

She had never seen a dress like this before, and she certainly didn't own one. Her parents would kill her. This type of dress was for after a wedding on the first night of a honeymoon.

Serena thought a moment longer and as soon as she did, a flood of memories came to her mind. Memories of being Sailor Moon the moon princess, future queen to crystal Tokyo and her best friends the sailor scouts. Memories of her sixteenth birthday and Darien and… and… what happened after that? She couldn't place it.

"Ahh you are awake my dear" a silky voice coaxed from a shadowed corner.

Serena snapped her head in the direction of the voice.

Gracefully a man in all white emerged from the darkness.

"Normally a person who'd have traveled through time and space would be out for days, even weeks, but not you…. you are Sailor Moon."

Serena swallowed hard. Who was this man? How did he know she was Sailor Moon?

"I see you are still a bit shy my dear… no matter though, we'll fix that." He strode over to her and gently touched her cheek.

Serena flinched. "Who are you?"

"My name is Prince Diamond of the Negamoon family." He replied smiling as he caressed her skin.

Serena took a step backward. "Don't touch me!"

Diamond laughed. "My dear… you live with me now… and I will do what I please with you!"

Serena felt a shiver go down her back. "No," she whispered.

"Now…." Diamond continued. "What shall I go about calling you? Sailor moon? No… Sailor moon cannot exist in the dark crystal palace. How about Serenity? Too formal. What about just Serena?"

Serena took another step backwards. "Don't call me that." She managed to whisper. Her throat felt like it was in knots.

He advanced on her like a hungry lion.

She took a step backwards again and hit the wall.

Feeling victorious he placed a hand on either side of her as he leaned on the wall. His eyes bore down upon her, reaching into the pits of her very soul.

Serena trembled furiously. "Don't touch me!" she repeated.

He laughed. "You are my betrothed. You will learn to love me!"

"NO" she screamed. "I love Darien."

Diamonds eyes turned to slits. "Is that so…. Well then let me teach you something."

Before Serena could react he placed one hand around her waist and pulled her close to his warm body. He used his free hand to grab her chin and tilt it toward his face. Her blue eyes were filled with terror. He gently brushed his lips against hers and let her react. She let out a quiet gasp. Taking her temporary paralyzed state into advantage, he deepened his kiss.

By now Serena was to her senses and tried to struggle away from him with no avail. He was just too strong for her.

Eventually, before long he parted lips with her and looked intently into her eyes. Serena wiggled free from his grasp and slapped him across the face. The loud smack echoed through the darkened room.

Diamond took a step back and looked at the golden haired angel in his presence. To Serena's surprise he began to laugh. " Serenity my love you will learn to love me with all your heart. I will not let you out of my sight."

Serena looked at him with hate in her eyes. "Don't ever touch me again!" she screamed.

Diamond laughed and replied. "Serenity you live with me now… and remember, I will do with you, what I please."

And with that Diamond turned on his heel and strode to the door. "You may have free roam of the castle everywhere except the throne room…. And DO NOT think of escape, It is not possible." He opened the door excused himself and slammed it behind him.

Serena was left in the dark velveteen room alone and scared. There was no one here to help her.

She turned and threw herself on the bed and cried silently into the pillows calling Darien's name. She said numerous prayers to the scouts for help, but even she knew that they couldn't hear her.

Eventually after letting out all of her sadness and rage Serena emerged from the room to find something to eat. She hadn't eaten anything since that cookie Lita gave her. She walked along the hallways; the only sound being produced was her slippers tapping against the marble floor.

Why did Palaces have to be so big and complicated?

She made her way from corridor to corridor hoping to find some help of where to go, but found herself getting even more lost than what she was already.

Each hallway led to another, one after another.

As she entered into a new hallway she heard an annoying voice.

"Well, well if it isn't the moon princess herself!"

Serena looked down the hall to see a slender woman wearing a sleazy black dress and the ugliest fan in her hands.

Serena looked at her confused. "Who are you?"

The girl snapped back in a snotty voice. "My name is Emerald…Prince Diamond's mistress…and I am going to be the one to kill you for taking my love away from me."

Serena gulped. There was nowhere to hide. She didn't know the palace very well at all and this woman seemed to hate her. For once in her life there was nothing Serena could do to escape.
