I just want to apologize for taking sooo long to update. These past few
weeks have been my own personal Hell. Seriously, if I go to Hell, it will
be these past weeks but it would all happen in my high school Trig class.
*screaming is heard while the "Psycho" music is played in the background*
Anyway, I have finally gotten in the mood to write again. And believe me I was REALLY not in the mood for a while. And those of you that personally know me can vouch for me. I was barely getting any sleep and when I did sleep..nightmares....only nightmares. *shudders* Not fun. Not fun at all.
I don't own Charmed or Sailor Moon. If I did I could just drop everything and leave. *sigh* How nice!

*She was running. Fast. But not fast enough. The wind was blowing through her hair and her eyes were watering but he was still behind her, gaining on her. And he was laughing. She shivered.
Ducking into an alley she leaned against the wall, trying to catch her breath. It was dark. He wouldn't be able to see her in here.
Footsteps sounded to her left, right outside the alley. "I know you are in there, witch. Come on out."
She slid along the wall, trying to blend in, holding her breath and hoping he would look over her. But the snarl from in front of her told her it didn't work.
"I've found you!" He said reaching for her.*
"NO!" Piper screamed as she saw the blue lights. She grabbed Usagi's arm. "Don't let him get me. He's going to hurt me again!" She closed her eyes and started sobbing until she felt gentle arms surround her.
"Piper, honey?"
That voice..why did it sound so loving and kind?
Piper sniffed and raised her head to see the gentle and worried face of her husband. "Leo," she choked out. "Leo."
He smiled.
And she threw her arms around him, sobbing again, but this time in relief. "I thought-" but she stopped and just buried her face in his flannel covered shoulder.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen Usagi was telling Phoebe and Paige what happened before they arrived.
"It was terrible, minna. Her eyes were so frightened and empty." Usagi said softly, hugging herself. "And I didn't know what to do."
Mamoru slid his arm around his wife's shoulder and gently squeezed. "She's with Leo now. It'll be okay."
Paige nodded. "Hai, Piper's a strong girl. She'll be fine eventually."
"I don't know," Usagi muttered. "You didn't see her face. I could tell she was terrified but there was something else. It was like she couldn't trust me."
***********************
Rei muttered as the telephone in her room woke her up. "Who in the world could be calling this late?!" She grumbled as she sat up and fumbled around, trying to find the phone. "Nani!!??" she yelled into it when she picked it up.
There was silence for a second but then, "Rei-chan,"
"Usagi?"
"Listen, Rei. Piper's back but something's wrong with her and,"
"Of course something's wrong with her, Odango. She was a prisoner of a demon!"
"Iie, it's something more."
"Usagi, calm down and be rational. She'll be fine."
Usagi muttered something on the other end.
"Odango, shut it. Just calm down and go back to bed like any normal person would! And couldn't you have waited until morning to tell me this?!" And Rei hung up on the princess.
****************
Usagi stared at the phone in shock. Rei had just screamed at her and hung up on her! That hadn't happened in a few months....since Mamoru left for America.
"What's wrong, Usako?"
Usagi turned around to face her husband. "Rei hung up on me."
"That's not unusual."
"I know but something was off."
Mamoru sighed and pulled Usagi in for a hug. "Everything is going to be all right, princess. I promise."
Usagi pulled him closer. "I hope you're right."
****************
"She had the nerve to call me in the middle of the night!"
"Rei, you called me in the middle of the night to complain."
"Hush, Minako I don't want to deal with you, too!"
"Rei!"
"Shut up! Gods, you two blondes are just so stupid!"
***************
"Ami?"
"Mako-chan, I had this horrible nightmare!"
"Did you have to call me in the middle of the night to tell me about it?"
"Nani!?"
"It could have waited until morning!"
"Mako-chan, we have always called each other when we can't sleep! That's what best friends do!"
"Ever think that maybe I don't like that arrangement?"
"Fine, be that way!"
"I will!"
*****************
Setsuna sat up with a gasp. Something was happening. And it wasn't good.
******************
Screaming; that's all she heard. And it hurt!
Usagi fell to her knees, clutching her head. "Oh my God! It hurts!"
Paige rushed to her side. "Usagi, what's wrong?"
"My head," Usagi sobbed as tears ran down her face. "There's so much anger and screaming in it. And my heart," she put one hand on her chest. "I feel as if it's being torn in pieces."
Mamoru knelt down beside her. "Usagi," he whispered. "Take deep breaths. It'll be fine."
"I can't, Mamo-chan. It hurts too bad!"
Usagi's eyes rolled back and she fell into her husband's arms in a dead faint.
*All four of the inner senshi were standing in front of her. But they looked mad. And they were screaming at one another.
"Can you be any more stupid, Minako?"
"I'm not stupid, Rei!"
"You are so dependent, Ami!"
"I am? Look at you, Makoto!"
Usagi just watched in shock. Her best friends were fighting one another. Why? And this fighting didn't seem normal. There was hate in their eyes and it seemed that it would soon become a physical fight.
"Minna!" Usagi yelled.
But they ignored her. And continued fighting, making Usagi's head hurt even more.*
"Usagi, wake up!"
The moon princess' eyes popped open and she sat up. "It's the others," she said to her husband, Paige, and Phoebe. "They are fighting and it isn't natural."
