Chapter 4: Runaway

Hotstreak sat on the couch in the livingroom of the Hawkins residence with his head in his hands... He was in a turmoil over what to do about Serena... Just when he thought he was going crazy, Sharon had witnessed the same vision with him! He couldn't believe it... Maybe Virgil and his family were meant to help her as well... Virgil couldn't believe his sisters transformation... One minute she was hating Hotstreak for even daring to come to they're house and the next minute she was acting all motherly towards him... It was really weird seeing them both acting so different... Suddenly Hotstreak stood quickly, startling Sharon and scaring her out of her whits...

"We need to go the police with this!" Hotstreak said pounding his fist with his hand... " I can't stand just sitting around like this!"

"We can't just tell police that you've been having visions of a woman you've never met before and that she's going to be in danger!" Sharon said dramatically, " They'd lock you in a mental hospital! "

"What can we do then?!" Hotstreak asked angrily, " I can't... I can't stand to watch her die... I just can't... "

" Your in love with her... Aren't you?!" Sharon asked in surprise.

" I don't know... " Hotstreak said looking away...

But all four of them knew for a fact... If Hotstreak wasn't in love with her yet... He was falling fast...

Meanwhile, back in Tokyo, Japan, Serena was released under strict orders to stay bed ridden for at least a few weeks... Once her mother and father took her home, and got her settled into bad, her little brother Sammy knocked on her door, peeking in at her shyly.

"Yes?" Serena said, "What is it?"

"You don't remember me... Do you sis?" Sammy asked sadly.

"No sweetie, I'm afraid I don't... " Serena said sympathetically, "I know that my name is Serena... But I don't remember anything or anyone else... I'm sorry honey... "

"Oh sis!" Sammy said running to Serena and flinging his around her, "You've got to get better! I may get on your nerves and tease you a lot... But I promise I'll be better! Please just go back to your old self!"

Serena gently put her arms around the little boy and hugged him closely... Her heart ached to see him so sad... But she knew she couldn't stay with them... She felt like she didn't belong there with them, even though they were so very kind to her... Serena held Sammy to her as he cried until he fell asleep in her arms... Then, getting up gingerly, being careful not to break open her wounds, she quietly carried Sammy to his room and gently tucked him in... When she turned around, a man with black hair and glasses was staring at her.

"Serena?! Honey?! What are you doing out of bed?! You heard what the doctors said!" Mr. Sukino said worriedly.

"I know... Sammy came into my room crying and fell asleep in my arms... He wants his sister back... " Serena said sadly... "I still can't remember anything... Or anyone... I'm afraid I'm not his sister... "

"Just give it time honey... Your memory will come back soon... I'm sure it will... " Mr. Sukino said...

Once Serena got to her room and got back into bed, her father kissed her gently on her forehead and went downstairs with a heavy heart... His baby girl may never be her old self again... It was breaking his heart... Later that evening, Ray, Amy, Lita, and Mina stopped by to see how Serena was doing... The four girls crept upstairs to Serena's room after her parents had said it was fine and peeked into her room... Serena was drawing what looked like a handsome man with red and blond hair... The longer she stayed with this family, the more apprehensive she became... She felt as if she were meant for greater things and was planning her escape from this prison when four girls fell into her room with a loud thud... Serena gasped and stood up quickly...

"Who are you and what are you doing here?!" Serena asked fearfully.

" Come on Serena, cut the act... There's no way you could have truly forgotten about your family and friends! " Ray said angrily. " You need to tell your mom and dad the truth! Not to mention poor little Sammy... That's really low, I know you hate your kid brother but seriously! "

" I don't know who you are... " Serena said angrily, " But you need to leave... How dare you come to me and accuse me of such terrible things! That little boy wants his sister back... But it's not me! I can't remember anything about my past, only that my name is Serena! So don't burst in here claiming to care about me when you clearly don't! Get the hell out! Now!"

"No! Your lying!" Ray said angrily, " Your nothing but a coward and a crybaby! I'm so sick of all your stupid excuses! You never should been chosen to lead the sailor scouts! You don't deserve it! "

"Your crazy!" Serena said angrily, "The sailor scouts, really?! They are heros! I'm not and I never will be!"

"You got that right!" Ray said angrily, "Your pathetic! I still can't believe you've been lying to your friends and family! Maybe you should just runaway and never come back coward!"

"Ray! That's enough!" Lita said angrily...

Serena had had enough... Letting out all of her anger and frustration, Serena balled up her fist and let it fly with an angry cry... Her fist connected with Ray's cheek instantly with a resounding crack and sent her hurtling towards the ground... Ray stared up at Serena, dumbfounded rubbing her bruised cheek...

" I may have been that way before I lost my memories... But I am not that girl anymore!" Serena said angrily, " You have no idea what it's like! Being around people who love you and care about you and you can't even remember them! Do you have any idea how much that hurts?! Not being able to remember my family?! My friends?! Your right! Ok?! Now that I've lost my memories... I no longer belong here... I need a fresh start... "

Ray, Amy, Lita, and Mina all gasped at her words and before they could stop her... She grabbed her suitcase she'd packed when she first got home and jumping out the window, she ran as fast as her legs would carry her... She ended up at the airport where a kind old woman caught her crying and laid a comforting hand on her shoulder... She was a very sweet kind black lady with straight auburn hair and bright red lipstick on... Her frame was a bit big boned but she still had a nice figure.

"There, there now... Tell Ms. Seilia Hawkins what's wrong my dear... " Seilia asked.
