I do not own any of the Senshi.


Tales of the Past: Rei



Rei's eyes were slightly glazed over when she started to speak,

"Imagine what it feels like to die,

I know everyone of you can,

Imagine what it feels like to lose control,

I know that you, Mina, and you, Lita, can

Imagine that you see yourself in your mind,

Imagine that you are losing control


My story is something that camp girls tell around a fire,

My story is something that I barely even want to remember,

This is about my life, My everything.


I was a small child when My parents discovered my powers,

They sent me to doctors of witchcraft

They tortured my soul, my fire and light

They made me dark

Blacker than the deepest nights

My soul was pushed away

And I had a vision


The vision is...no, I'll not say

I...No!

I must tell, for it is sure to happen again if I don't

The vision was of destruction, I must do better than that!"

Rei was pounding her head messing up all the dark locks,

She screamed, showing her pink, pink tongue,

No one dare step close to her and after a few moments she was back


"The fire of my soul was burning blacker, and blacker

It made a vision of death, destruction, and carnage

I watched it knowing that I could never stop it

I watched it knowing that I would never be able to control it

I watched myself destroy everyone and everything that was near to me

And the thing about it is that I loved it

I loved every minute of it

I loved the feel of the power

I loved the sound of the screams


The look on each face,

The tears,

The blood,

The burning flesh,

Each one the end of a life

Each beautiful scream, music to my ears,

And the taste of the blood on my lips"


She stopped again

Her hands were on her face and she seemed to be licking them

The memory still apparently fresh, as the taste of the blood.

Smiling sardonically she continued,

"I could hold in my hunger no longer

I struck out, Killing everyone of them

Slaughtering all who loved me

I would cut out their hearts and eat them

Raw

Bloody inside

Burnt on the outside


My vision came true even without me telling it

My vision became a part of me

A raging beast of lust

A lust for blood and pain


After the slaughtering of my loved ones I slept

When I awoke I brain washed a Queen into thinking I was her daughter

I gained enormous power

I learned to love again

I loved a great many people

Those around me now and some who will soon be

But I warn you

Take heed of my actions

I feel very edgy

Like I might repeat my...Fun"


We all saw in our minds the old Rei

The Rei that she had been before we had known her

The black, raging, frightening Rei

Then we pictured the Rei that we knew

The Rei that was composed, proper, refined

The woman who was a Senator, a Princess, a Queen


I don't think anyone believed her then

I don't think anyone could believe her then

But you never know if something is going to change...

Until it does...
