Chapter 17: Lost...

"No Serenity, I don't hate you...I-I love you..." Kai told me.

"Kai..." I said, speechless.

"Ha! Love? Love is for the weak!" Mystic said as she continued her bey battle with Ray.

"But love is what makes me strong..." I whispered.

"Serenity..." Kai started.

"Kai, I love you too. And I'm sorry for all this-"

"Serenity, don't apologize, besides you suck at it." Kai said with a slight smile on his face.

I laughed a little, "Ha, ha, Kai. Very...very funny."

"Come on, Serenity. I'm getting you out of here." As Kai reached for me, a shock passed through his body as his hand was three inches away from me. The vines around me grew, and now it went to my stomach. The vine's thorns grew bigger and pierced my skin even more, and I felt my blood run along my skin.

"Damn it! Serenity, are you okay?" Kai asked me.

"Couldn't be better. Are you okay? I heard electricity when you reached for me." I asked him.

"I'm okay, but my hands a bit numb."

"Serenity! Are you okay!" I heard Valon, Alister, Carman, and Angel ask me.

"Yeah! I'm alright! Don't worry about me!" I yelled back.

"Hmm, they should be worrying about you, weakling. For after a few minutes, there won't be a Serenity Taylor to worry aboutanymore!" Mystic said, laughing her evil laugh.

"I won't let myself be locked up in here! This is my body! And you can't have it!" I yelled at my darker half as I struggled with my chains.

"Struggle al you want, it'll just take away more of your energy."

"Shut up!"

"You know, weakling, I think that if I let your baka friends run around free, they'll run after you, so I think I'll make sure they won't." Mystic's eyes then flashed with some power and a cage surrounded G-Revolution minus Ray.

"Hey! Let us out!" Angel yelled as she pounded on the cage. "Ow!" when Angel had made contact with the cage, an electric shock went through her body.

"Angel, are you okay?" Kenny asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. But Serenity doesn't look so good." It was true. I started to get pale, and I was so tired, but I didn't want to give up any more, I couldn't.

"Hey, Kai... whispered, "You wanna know something?"

"You have another side of you? Don't tell me... the other side of you... is a love sick, bubbly side?" Kai played with me.

"Ha, ha, Kai. No, it's something else... Ever since I was small, I knew that Mystic was inside of me, and that one day she would come out and take over. And I was ready for it... I didn't care. No one would've missed me, so I had no one to leave behind. But... after I met you, Ray, and everyone else, I started to regret this day. I didn't want to go any more. I didn't want to leave the only friends I ever had..."

"Very touching," Mystic said in a menacing tone, "But what good will that little speech do? I mean, soon you'll be lost, and then Kai will be too busy mourning over you to pay attention to our fight, and then I'll have no fun..."

"You call toying with our heart and minds fun!" Ray asked.

"Yup! That's the best kind of fun around..." Mystic said with her evil smirk.

"You monster!" Carman said, tears of hatred in her eyes.

"Aww, Carmen I'm hurt...I mean you would never call your dear sister, Serenity, a monster."

"That's because she isn't! The only monster here is you!"

"Ah, but you see dear Carman...I, a monster as you call me, came from inside your sister. So, how can you not be a monster, but have one inside you?"

"She never acted like a monster!"

"Whatever..."

"Serenity...you're not leaving, I won't let you. I-I'll find a way to get you out, I promise." Kai whispered to me.

"Just please hurry, Kai. I don't- I don't know how much longer I can last up here..." I slowly got the strength to open my eyes, but my vision was still hazy. After a minute, I was able to see clearly. And in front of me, stood Kai, with worried look on his face. I smiled, well tried to, at his care for me. I looked behind Kai, to see G-Revolution locked in a cage, with Max and Tala trying to escape using there blade, and I saw Ray battling Mystic. Why? I had no idea.

"Serenity, you okay?" Ray asked me.

"Never been better, Ray. What about you?" I asked him.

"It doesn't matter. Just hold on!" he yelled back at me. I flashed him a weak smile, then turned my attention to trying to get free. I tugged at the chains that held my hands captive, but all that did was send an electric shock wave through my body.

"Serenity, are you okay?" Kai asked me.

"I- I think so. It was nothing." I said.

"Weakling, it's futile to try to escape, you know that." Mystic told me.

"No, it's not! I can find a way. I won't let you take my body!" I yelled at her.

Mystic laughed, "You don't have a choice in the mater. You're getting weaker by the second. You can feel your strength leaving, can't you? You can feel your end coming…"

"SHUT UP!" I yelled. I then, with all my might, pulled my right arm, and surprisingly, I was able to break that arm free.

"What! That's not possible..." Mystic was lost of words.

"Yes it is, Bitch. If I want to get out of here, I'm gonna get out of here!"

"Not on my watch!" the vines suddenly grew again. It thickened more, and made it even harder to breathe. I used my free had and tried to break the vines, but again, it sent electric shocks through my body. I winced in pain, but kept trying. The more I kept trying, the more, and the faster, the vines grew. When I was able to free my left hand, the vines were already at my neck. I tried desperately to rip them off. But the more I ripped them off, the more they grew. Soon my right arm was rapped in the vines.

"SERENITY!" Kai said as he tried to reach me, but failed.

"KAIIIiiiiii..." My voice got lost as the vines trapped my whole body. Kai was left shocked, sad, angry, broken… He couldn't even move, or he didn't want to. He fell to his knees and continually punched the floor.

"No...Serenity..."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!..."

MacchiNightmares: I am SO very about the long wait! Serenity over here, was mad at me and didn't wanna help. But, Macchi and Mari made her change her mind. How? I have no idea, they didn't wanna tell me. Anyway… Poor Kai… and everyone else in G-Revolution for that matter. They must be devastated to lose Serenity. I wonder what they're gonna do next, and what about Mystic? I bet she's having the time of her life… If ya wanna see the next chapter...REVIEW! (sorry… a little hyper). Laterz!
