Okay peeps, this was my first first real attempt at Sailormoon Fanfic writing before FGTM or My Cat... I've edited it for better reading but it's still the same basic story. This is an alternate universe Sailormoon fanfic so you won't see Sailormoon or Tux Boy in my story cuz I'll just be using the character names in the story.
Disclaimer: All the SM characters belong to Naoko Takeuchi. Some of the Last names belong to some famous celebrities (i.e. Molly Ringwald, etc.). The areas mentioned around the Bay area don't belong to me such as the San Francisco Philharmonic Orchestra, Visatui winery etc. In short I borrowed most of the names of stuff here so please don't sue me, I'm just a poor girl who's having a hard time paying for her college tuition...sniff sniff...have pity. This story I'm writing is just fictional and made up so if somebody's life has the same affiliation to this story please don't sue me...I just made this up.
Prologue:
Late Saturday night, the Shields Family Estate in Napa Valley California...
Silhouetted in moonlight, one body glistening with sweat stirred to envelope another in a passionate embrace. Her auburn hair sticking to her forehead, this seductive figure just couldn't get enough of the raven-haired man beside her.
"Oooohhh Darien..."
She moaned and started to kiss his hard muscular chest nudging him to do all those naughty things and make her scream again. She paused when Darien raised his arm to roughly push her away.
"Sorry sweetie, I'm not in the mood anymore" Darien insolently replied with a bored expression in his face. The night had been a passionate one for Ann but not for Darien. He was hoping that she would be spectacular in bed but she sure wasn't. The only good thing about that night was that he had sex. She was just another mistress to add to his little black book of "X-Bedmates".
'This chick gets a number 3...' he though with a smirk on his face. '...I'll probably put down young social climbing starlet.'
Ann leaned on her left arm facing Darien and began to glare at him. " Are you brushing me off!"?
Darien faced her with a sardonic smirk " Uh huh" he replied.
'How dare he use me that way.'? She thought, and then a slow smile suddenly crept on her face. "You know...Darien, this guy named Alan Richwood asked me to marry him" 'Humph, that'll make him jealous!' she thought.
"Was I supposed to care?" Darien blurted obviously annoyed and tired of her game. 'Poor guy whoever he is...' Darien thought '...well...better him than me.'
Ann's face was turning red from a mixture of anger and embarrassment. Anger because never in her life had she been used like a pair of chopsticks, it was always her who does the dumping. She was also thoroughly embarrassed because of the way she made a fool out of herself, letting Darien's charmingly manipulative ways get to her. Ann's mission was originally to seduce Darien to get her a part in his up coming new film, but it seems like Darien was the one who got something out of the seducing and not her.
"Since you've obviously had your fill of my SERVICES...then there's no reason for me to stay!" she said getting up from Darien's plush king sized bed. "I'm outta here!" She said quickly dressing herself up.
"Thank God!" Darien blurted out triumphantly.
"JERK!" Ann cried, stomping her way out of the room.
'Good riddance...I thought she'd never leave!' Standing from his bed and picking up his black silk pajama pants, Darien was finally relieved to see her go. She had been seeking him out non-stop for the last three weeks, angling her way into getting a part for his upcoming film "Danse Macabre". "She's definitely getting a three in my little black book that's for sure!" Darien blurted out to no one in particular as he slipped into his pants.
In that instant a blood curling scream ripped throughout the mansion...
'What the crap is wrong with her now?' he thought as he rushed out of his room to get to where Ann was, annoyed but still shaken from the intensity of the scream.
As soon as he set foot in the hallway, the floors began to shake violently. Vases, chairs and portraits were being thrown all over.
'SHIT...an earthquake!' Darien ducked underneath a sturdy wooden table to take cover while the whole mansion shook violently.
After a couple of tormenting minutes, which actually felt more like hours, the shaking stopped. Crawling out from the confides of the wooden table, Darien rushed to the family room to check if anybody else in the household was alright. Reaching the family room, Darien found Ann's limp body on top of the bar area looking as if she had been tossed there.
"Mr. Sheilds are you okay?" a blue haired girl shouted appearing from the maid's quarters. A curly red head rushed to her side.
"Yeah Aimee I'm fine, but you gotta call 911...NOW...Ann needs to be brought to the hospital'!"
Darien carried Ann's limp body and laid her on the Victorian style couch.
"I'll call them now sir!" Cried the curly red headed girl rushing to the telephone, which was thrown around the marble floor during the earthquake.
"Thanks Molly!" Darien replied looking up to her.
"That was one hell of an earthquake!" Darien said while checking for Ann's pulse. When he found it, he quickly glanced at her face. 'An earthquake wouldn't cause her to look like this!' he thought shocked as he stared at her ghostly white and wrinkled complexion. Her face looked like she was in agony. Her eyes were wide open and bulged with fright. Her beautiful straight red locks have all turned white and spiky.
"Mr. Shields" Aimee softly replied. "There's so much more you need to know...and...I'm just scared that you won't... believe me." She continued with her head face down.
"Aimee...what are you talking...about?" Darien's eyes narrowed as he asked in a very serious tone. Aimee slowly faced him and took a deep breath before she began to speak out.
