If that's what it takes
When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
Every beat of my heart, every day without end
.

I'm powerless.
He tasted like wine. What had started as a gentle assault of the lips soon grew into a maelstrom of desires for the Prince of Darkness. Long fingers entangled themselves into his victim's long golden locks. They always were perfectly tied into those balls on her head. How many times had he imagined the Queen beneath him with her hair long and free? Without a second thought or care for gentleness, he ripped the ties from her hair.
"Agh!" Serena gasped in pain. Her palms pushed at his chest with all of her might, hoping, praying that some type of strength would come to her. "G-Get off of me, you monster!"
I can't fight! My strength feels like it's drained! Oh, Darien, where are you?!
Diamond said nothing. Pulling himself away from her, he stood his full height in front of the bed. He had to calm himself. Too many fantasies of this woman made his heart pummel in his chest. She was finally here. Right in front of him. Folding his arms, he sat next to her. The bed caved at his weight.
Serena, crossed her arms around herself protectively. She felt exposed. Her hair cascaded over her shoulders. Blue eyes refused to look at the man next to her. How she wished to run!
"You will not push me away for long, Serenity," Diamond warned. His hand came around her shoulder, forcing her to lay her head in his lap. His other hand, itching with anticipation, began to comb his fingers through her long locks.
Every fiber in Serena's body rebelled. Oh, why was this so hard?! If she could just move or pull away! The black crystal's powers continued to invade every inch of her body, forcing it into subjection of Diamond's wishes. The wish for her to remain exactly as he wanted her-submissive.
...is this really happening?
Closing her eyes, she submitted. Her enemy continued to rake his fingers through her hair, whispering words of endearment as if to calm her. As if she were a scared child who had lost her mom or dad. It was odd, she thought, that he had tried to calm her. Why would a monster do such a thing?
Serena spoke silently,"Why do you do this? Why don't you make your conquest and just free me?"
He stopped then. His fingers came out of her hair, lifted her chin with a single finger. Violet eyes looked into hers with a look she couldn't describe-lust? Desire? Hate? Love?
"It was my desire to take over Crystal Tokyo many years ago, but when I did, a witch had prevented me from having the beautiful city. Within a single week, all that I had worked for...slaved for...came crashing at my feet. We were banished and moved far away from your precious Crystal Tokyo. The more I thought of revenge and how to kill this thorn, the more I realized just how beautiful she was. She made her planet desirable with her grace and her power...it is something I have desired since my banishment..."
"...a witch?"
Diamond smiled at her curiosity. She wasn't as fearful as he thought she would've been. Even if this was Neo-Queen Serenity in her former life, he could see the future Queen in the young Sailor Moon's maturity. He continued,"You, my beautiful Serenity."
"I am not Serenity, I am Sailor Moon-"
"...I am not as ignorant as you may think. I couldn't touch Neo-Queen Serenity with that devil King protecting her...so I did what I knew would ensure she was mine...I took you instead..."
Serena almost laughed. Was she really laughing at this situation? Her voice wavered from emotion,"I am nothing like Serenity, so why don't you just let me go?!"
The Prince pulled his fingers away from her chin. Looked at her for a moment in silence. It was as if he were actually thinking about what the young princess had said. Is she right? Should I let her go? She isn't the one I love...has my desire driven me insane?
A small ray of hope shone in the young Sailor Scout's heart. "I promise no harm will come to you if you let me go. Just let me go and I will find Tuxedo Mask-"
Tuxedo Mask. The future King Endymion. The man that has stolen everything from me. The man who has claimed the heart of my Serenity. Diamond furrowed his brows the more he thought. Just hearing that name set his nerves on end.
King Endymion took everything from him. His Queen. His land. Took away his victory! He was the real enemy! Hatred clung to his heart; Serena could see the change iN the Prince's eyes.
"I will not let you go, Serenity, especially if it is to the young King Endymion," he murmured through clenched teeth.
Something set him off. Jealousy?
A cry rang out of Serena's lips. Diamond pushed her flush against the bed, her body molding into the mattress. His weight was now on top of her, his eyes raging, his lips right next to her ear. "Endymion has everything I want, everything I desire. You may not have Serenity's mature form yet, but you are the future Queen. You, my love, are unspoiled...untouched by Endymion..."
Just hearing the words come out of his own mouth caused Diamond to feel need radiate from his belly. As if to prove appoint, the prince bit the bottom of her lip. Nipped at her lips before kissing her with untamed passion.
"...and if I take the great Endymion's prized treasure, the look on his face, even if it is your young lover, is worth every bit of it..."
Darien, it's too late...you're not here...
.
.

Every second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes
.

Why did a chill just race down his spine? A sense of urgency caused Tuxedo Mask to catch a second wind just as he had began to slow from the long run. How long until he was there?!
Who was this guy anyways? Some new evil who wanted the Silver Crystal? The pure light and power of the sacred treasure drew so many eyes towards it's power-who wouldn't want to hold such a strong force?
There were times protecting the Silver Crystal was exhausting, but it was worth it. It was his life's calling...to protect the Crystal and the one who held it.
"I'm coming, Serena..." He began to doubt if he could even reach her in time. He had been running for how long now? Exhaustion began to take a toll on his body and he felt a desire to stop just for a moment to rest...just a moment...
A large castle stood within view now. Black swirling winds rushed around it as if protecting it from outside intruders. The same black winds that appeared when that demon took Serena!
I'm coming, please hold on!
.
.

"Please stop," she murmured through her tears. The golden haired beauty looked like a begging child. Her large blue eyes filled with tears, her voice as soft as a dove's call. Who would've thought he would have the Queen of Crystal Tokyo begging?
Diamond bit his lip from anticipation,"Trust me, love, you'll enjoy this..." Pressed a kiss to her brow, slowly glided his hands up on her thigh. Pushed aside the cursed dress she wore.
...this is what he wanted...
Serena closed her eyes in terror. Could she wish herself away?! Darien wasn't here and he wasn't coming! She had never felt so alone...so exposed in all of her life!
The Prince of Darkness didn't take his time. Ripped inside of her in a single thrust.
She could hear his groans even through her sobs. Taking what he wanted as violently as he pleased. Her hands were entangled in the bed sheets. Grasping. Pulling. Raking.
Anything to get away.
She couldn't move.
She felt dominated.
.
.

Where were the guards? Where the demons to stop him from entering into the palace? Where were the traps?
Tuxedo Mask had a very eerie feeling. Never had it been this easy to enter into the enemy's gates...why was it now?
.

Emerald leaned against the wall by Diamond's bedchamber. Bile rose to her throat as she heard the sobs, the screams, the pleas for him to stop. Even if she was a member of the dark moon, her woman's heart actually felt sorry for the little princess.
She fanned herself as red crept up her cheeks.
That should be me with him...how is it he loves her? Am I not good enough, Diamond?
She wished she could stop it. Wished she could open the doors.
To hell with you, Diamond!
How many times had she come to him offering her love, her devotion, her body? All she wanted was a crown in return. Her Prince would look at her, laugh, and assure her that one day she would have a crown.
All of these years, he had used her...took advantage of her silly, girlish dreams of love. Whenever he was with her, it was the Serenity he saw. What a fool she was!
She shouldn't have let him take her so easily. She thought letting Diamond have his Queen for a night would finally get her out of his system...maybe then, he would see her in a different light. Possibly grow to love her. give her the crown she so desired.
A door opened and caught her attention.

With his cane extended long, Darien whipped around the corner looking for someone...something...how was it this palace was empty?!
He saw her then.
A beautiful woman with long green hair came into sight from the shadows. She held a fan and fanned herself slowly, her eyes never leaving him.
"Who are you?" His heart began to hammer.
"Emerald," she soothed before walking closer to him. Oh, how fun it would be to torment this little boy...hang him up and ripped his insides out...it's his fault Diamond was in there now...this lover boy wasn't fast enough to save his precious little twit.
"Where is she?!"
"This way...follow me..."
Tuxedo Mask stood like a statue. "Is this some trick...?"
She huffed in frustration,"Listen, Cape boy, you're already late..."
That was all it took. Darien ran towards her, cane extended. Slamming it into her throat, he shoved her against a wall. "...if you killed her, I will slit your throat myself..."
Laughter.
"She isn't dead, you fool, Diamond would never kill her. He loves her. Now, if you'll release me, I will show you where he took your precious moon cake..."
"...h-he loves her?"
"...that's what I said. Well, he loves Serenity, but same person, right?"
Darien released her. His eyes were stone cold. What exactly was happening here? He found his voice,"Why are you helping me?"
"...because I love him and she is in the way..."
