Serenity laid on her bed the spot next to her was empty and cold, stating that her husband was not there. In fact, she had not seen Rei or Ami in a while as well. She began to think on her jealousy and rage towards Elysion and Kritra.

She curls up, rolling on her side and stares for endless moments. She felt empty and cold. She wondered idly if this was how all her enemies felt towards her.

Then she heard footsteps rushing by her door and got up. She stood, going to her door and looks out. The last thing she saw was the edge of a pink gown. Grabbing her bathrobe, she followed; whom she thought was her daughter, to the med wing, seeing Hotaru, Rei, Ami, Terran, and Endymion already present.

"What is the meaning of this?" She asked staring at them. "Usa, why are you up? You have school tomorrow."

Usa turns and looks at her mother with sad eyes then hugs her. Serenity wasn't sure what had happened, but she comforted her daughter than glances at the others. They stood around a bed watching it carefully.

"Usa, what happened?" She asked her daughter, having not being answered by the others. "What's going on? Why are you so sad?"

Usa cried then looks up at her mother, "Oh mama, it's so terrible!" she sobs, "Elysion is…is…going to die if she doesn't get better!"

Serenity pats her back soothingly, then let her go and walks over to the bed. Looking down she could see why her daughter felt so distraught. Elysion looked as if she was near death's door and the sight of her caused Serenity to feel very guilty about her feelings for the girl.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked them

Hotaru looks up at her, "Maybe….Usagi can heal her with the Silver Crystal?" She glances around, "Would that work?"

"She can try" Ami said, "The healing power of the silver crystal should be able to do it, but….I am not sure if she will react positive to it."

Usa looks at her with teary crimson eyes, "W-what do you mean?"

Surprisingly, Terran spoke up, "It means, her moon power might make it worse if her pure heart is tainted." He looked directly at the Queen, showing her that he dislike her.

Serenity gave him nothing and went to stand in front of the bed. She raised her hands, calling the silver crystal to her. For an instant, she felt the evil yearning to use the crystal to destroy her. ' It would be so easy…so simple…' Said the little voice in the back of her mind. 'No one can oppose you.' And, for a moment, she considered it, then she brought her hand down, her crystal cradle close to her, her face unreadable. 'NO!' She thought pushing that other voice aside, 'No, I will not hurt her. She's an innocent.'

'She's ruining your life.' The other voice argued. 'Think of what she represents. Your husband's infidelity.'

'He didn't know. He had amnesia for goddess sake! He…was vulnerable. He didn't remember me.'

'That right, Kritra seduced him. She kept him from remembering you and everything you had. That's why Elysion has to die.' The voice replies calmly.

'NO! It's not her fault. I will heal her.' With that thought firmly placed in her mind, Serenity raises the silver crystal above her head. "Moon Healing, Escalation!"

The Crystal glowed brightly and covered all the people in the room. They all waited and watched to see if Elysion was any better.

When the Crystal's magic touched her, she began to scream. Her eyes were wide open, the pupils nearly disappearing in the sea of her stormy blue eyes. Her body seizures violently and her eyes began to roll to the back of her head.

"Usagi! Stop it!" Ami worked fast on her mini computer. "It's killing her!"

But Serenity didn't register their voices, telling her to stop. She kept going at it.

Then something came out of Elysion; her starseed appeared and started shining to protect her. Unconsciously, Serenity increased her power, overpowering Elysion's crystal, which began to dim and fell next to her, dimly glowing.

Endymion got up and slaps Serenity. "Usako, wake up!"

Serenity blinked coming out of her trance, feeling a tad light headed and woozy. "What…happened?" she asked confusedly then looks down at the bed where Elysion laid, barely breathing. "Did…I do that....?" She looks around at the worried and grim faces in the room.

Setsuna and Makoto had restrained Terran, when Elysion first began to scream. He was now glaring at the Queen with the look of pure hatred for her. His spring-green eyes were darkened somehow, as he stared at the Queen; his face plainly stated that he would not hesitant to kill her if she tried that again.

Endymion, holding his befuddled wife, looks at Ami, "How is she?" He asked quietly, "Will she be ok?"

Ami did a few more calculations and looks at him. "She's going to be ok…but she has to stay bedridden until I say." She announced and looks at her friend and queen, worriedly, "Usagi, what were you thinking when you tried to heal her?"

Serenity allowed her crystal to disappear, she did not reply.

Endymion gazed at her for a moment then at everyone else. "Everyone go to bed, now. No more discussing this."

Slowly, but surely, everyone left the room. Terran didn't leave until he was sure Elysion was, in fact alive, and touched her tenderly as if she was the most valuable thing in the world, before kissing her forehead and whispering in her ear. He stood up and looks directly at the king and queen. His eyes were now distrustful and angry. "If your queen does not control herself or even thinks about killing Elysion, I will dispose of her, no matter what you people do. I will protect her." He then walks out of the room, shifting into his animal form running through the halls.

Endymion wraps his arms around Serenity and gazed down at her, "Usako, love, what has gotten into you?" His eyes were sad and also filled with pain. "I know…that she makes you feel a little threatened, but she is harmless. She's just a child."

Serenity nods, burying her face into his chest, "I know, Mamo-chan...but…I can't help it." She looks up at him with tears in her eyes, "I felt…no, I sometimes hear that little voice, the one that wants to use the power for evil, she says to destroy her. I…don't want to."

"Shhh.…it'll be ok, Usako. You just have to get use to her. Elysion is a part of this family and me." He kissed her once, "Please, try and accept her."

She nods, "I'll…try."

Elsewhere

Kritra curls up on the bed that was provided for her. The room she was in was beautifully furnished. The floor was carpeted in a lovely black sliver and gold design. The bed was a king size with red oak bed frame that had little cravings in it. She had her own vanity, also made of red oak with a few jewels in them. She had a closet filled with dresses in them. She closes her eyes, falling asleep.

8 Dream 8

'Where…am I?' Kritra looks around her surroundings only to find that she was in a dark place. 'It's…so dark. What's going on?'

A voice came in the darkness, 'Mama…' The voice calls out. 'Mama…help me…'

Kritra's eyes widen, 'Elysion?!' She began to run in the direction of the voice.

'Elysion!!!'

Elysion appeared, but something was wrong. Elysion's eyes were blank and someone was holding her, taking something out of her. The object glowed as the person held her then started laughing as her head rose once more, sightless eyes starting straight at Kritra.

'Ma…ma'

'ELYSION!!!'

8 End 8

She awake, sweating and panting looking around wildly. 'That dream….Elysion might be in great danger…I have to do something.' She sat up and looked out the only window in her glided cage, outside that window, was earth in all her glory. 'But…how…?'
