SHE WHO MUST STAND ALONE

WRITTEN BY

MICHELE MOORE

Darkness surrounded her the sweet dream she'd been having of her and Darien replaced by a dark void of emptiness .

"I don't like this dream. Wake up Ohhhh wake up"

"It's not that easy princess." The voice whispered it seemed to come from every direction. "Tell me Princess what would you do if you were all alone. Alone with no one to turn for help? Not the Sailor Scouts not even your beloved Prince? The voice crackled with laughter. The evil and hatred spilling from it chilling her to the bone.

"Who are you?" Serena cried "What do you want?"

"Soon the voice" replied "Soon you'll be all alone. All alone in the Darkness where no one can reach you and where you'll finally have to face me and your doom.

Serena jerked up in the bed with a start disturbing Luna and Rini who were both using her as a pillow

Wha-t' s going on Rini Mumbled before turning over and drifting back to sleep

Luna rubbed her eyes with her paw and gave a great big yawn. "Are you alright Serena?" Luna asked When Serena didn't answer right away Luna turned worries eyes up at her "Serena?"

Serena thought about telling Luna about her dream than decided against it knowing Luna would only worry about her and it had only been a dream.

"I'm fine Luna go back to sleep".

Luna looked at her not completely convinced "Are you sure your okay?"

Serena gave a slight smile and hoped Luna wouldn't notice how her lips trembled. "I'm sure it must have been that third piece of pie."

Luna nodded her head apparently satisfied "I told you not to have that last piece well good night Serena" and with a little purr she settled back on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

But Serena didn't go back to sleep. Her thoughts wouldn't let her. The same words kept echoing in her head. All alone All alone All…alone
