Hi, guys! Sorry, but I believe this chapter is still going to be short! I don't really know where I'm going right now with the story! I'm trying to think, but I don't want to leave you guys hanging, so here goes. Oh and thanks for the reviews, have any of you put my story in your favorites or put me as a favorite author? Review and let me know!

Darien sat with the others outside Serena's room. Though it hurt him to be away from her for even a minute, he knew she needed rest. Besides, he needed time to digest the information and to think about what to do.

"So does anyone know what we're going to do?" Mina asked.

"I don't want to bring you guys into this, I can handle it," Darien answered.

Andrew looked at Darien, he had figured Darien would try to save Serena and that he would try to do it by himself. "Sorry, Dare, but I can't let you do that. Serena is my friend, too. I'm going to help, so you might as well just accept it."

"You both might as well get it in your heads that we're all in this. I don't care what you say, I happen to like that woman in that room, and I'm going to help, besides without us, you two wouldn't last a minute." With one look, Raye challenged anyone to disagree. "Plus, if Serena makes Darien happy, than I want to help."

"You could really use us, Darien," Ami said, being rational. "The more help the fastest this will all finish and we can get on with our lives, meaning you and Serena can live happily."

Lita chimed in saying, "Yeah, Ami and Greg can be the brains, Kevin and I can kick ass, Raye and Chad can use their premonitions, and Andrew, being the cop will come in handy. Mina can help him with that, not to mention she always has her… looks and … I'm sure that will help at some…point."

"Hey, are you saying that I can't help?" Mina asked, offended.

"No, I'm just not sure what else is left…" Lita tried to explain.

"I can't…"

"You can help me. I'm going to need someone here to help me out. I'm sure that I can find where Seiya would be. We can't trust the police, besides Andrew of course, so we're going to have to be secretive. Can you guys do that?" Serena asked standing in the doorway, wearing only a robe.

"Yeah, let's do this." Mina answered.

Out of the corner of her eye, Serena saw a movement outside the window, "EVERYONE GET DOWN!"

At the last minute, after Serena's warning, everyone dropped to the floor. The window shattered as the bullets of the automatic exploded through the air. Darien crawled over the floor, trying to get to Serena and protected her from the bullets and the debris flying through the air. It didn't even matter to him that the apartment he had lived in since he was seventeen, was being destroyed right before his eyes.

As he reached Serena, he could see the tears streaming down her face. He covered her body with his and whispered in her ear, "It's going to be okay, baby. I swear I'll protect with everything I have. I love you so much, honey. I'm not going to lose you again."

With those last words, the bullets stopped. Serena jumped to her feet, "We have to get out of here. Grab whatever you need and let's go!"

Everyone grabbed only what they needed and followed Serena out the door. It took them only minutes to reach Darien's car. "Hurry, give me the keys!" Serena screamed running to the driver's side of the car.

After everyone had crawled in and Serena had the keys, she started the car and floored it. With the tail spinning, Serena got the car on the road, ready to escape in case Seiya was following. "Who lives the closest?" She yelled to her passengers.

"We do," Mina screamed over the noise of the engine. Take a left up her and once you reach 5th street, turn right and take another right into the parking lot."

Serena turned sharply on the left turn. She looked into the rearview mirror and saw a red and black car following close. Looking into the driver's side, she saw the face of Seiya, grinning like an idiot. Driving faster, Serena took a left at the next street. She ignored the screams coming from the backseat.

"Serena, this isn't the way to Mina and the girls' house, its two streets down," Darien said confused as to why she wasn't following Mina's directions.

"I know, but Seiya's following us."

After a couple of more turns, Serena was finally able to shake Seiya, at least for a little while. She turned into the parking lot of the girls apartments. "I think we lost him, but I don't know for how long. We should just go in and get what ever we need, clothes and such, and leave. Okay?"

Sorry, I wish I could make it better, but I'm so tired right now! I'll write more tomorrow, I'll try to make it longer too. Was it any longer at all though? Please review.
