The following morning, Darien Shields awoke to the sound of thunder. Which, in
reality of sane people,meant the Battle of the Sexes baseball game would be cancelled. He groaned and got out of bed. He had been looking forward to playing against Serena and kicking her butt. From the looks of things, it seemed as if he could do neither.
Sighing, he went to the phone and dialed Serena's number. Glancing at the clock reading six fifteen, he assumed she wouldn't be awake. However, she hated thunderstorms. He had found that out the hard way when Serena would not walk to the bus waiting outside and hid in a well lit area. He had to drag her to his car to get her home, and she had been as frightened as a cat is of water.
He looked down at the phone. What would he say? Hey Serena, this is Darien. The game isn't gonna be a go, but I really miss you and want to hang out with you? Not a chance.
After debating for awhile, he pressed send.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brring.......brringg.....
Serena shrieked in fright and fell off her bed. The storm had woken her up about five minutes ago, and her parents and brother were out of town for business purposes. She had come home to an empty house last night and this storm, truth be told, was making her so scared she was sick.
Brrriing.....brringgg......
'Oh right...the phone is still ringing.'She thought, making a mad dash for her phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey sweetie it's me."
"Hey Mom."
"Are you alright? I turned on the tv here at the hotel and saw you guys were getting hit bad."
"Oh yeah I'm fine,"She lied, "That's why it took me so long to get to the phone. I was asleep."
"Alright then, I'll let you get back to sleep. Sorry for waking you baby, I love you!"
"Love you too."
"Oh and don't forget our emergency numbers. And the limo number. The office number....."
"Bye Mom."
She hung up the phone right before it rang again.
"Mom I told you, I'm FINE. I have every number under the sun to call!"She yelled into the phone.
"That's nice Sere, I'm very thrilled for you."An amused male voice said.
Serena smirked in amusement and sat down against the side of her bed.
"What're you doing Darien?"
"I'm calling you. What else would I be doing talking to you?"
"You've got a point there. What's up?"
"The game is cancelled. Are you alright?"He asked.
"What makes you ask that?"
"If memory serves correctly, you hate storms and are terrified of them."
Lightning struck a tree, breaking a large portion off of it and sending it slamming to the ground. Serena screamed and burst into tears.
"Serena? Serena!"
"Darien get over here please. I don't wanna be alone."She asked.
"I'll be there in five minutes."He said.
She hung up the phone and dropped it to the floor. It was on a night like this two years ago. Two years ago the nightmare happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Serena! He's on the phone............AGAIN." Her mother yelled.
A fifteen year old Serena sighed and walked towards the phone. Last week she had broken it off with boyfriend Diamond Drake, and he had been calling non-stop to try and get her back. It wasn't her fault she had caught him in bed with another woman, it was his choice and his alone. Well, maybe that womans too, but Diamond had never been the type of guy to take no for an answer. Which was why he was calling.
"What." She answered.
"Serena, don't hang up this time. I wanted to apologize."
'As you have done a million times before.' She thought.
"Diamond, I am sick of hearing your excuses. Don't call me anymore. We have nothing to talk about, we have nothing to review or discuss. It's OVER between us. Why can't you just accept that?" She yelled.
"Because you belong to me."
"I don't have a shirt or sign saying property of ex-boyfriend now do I? I never belonged to you, and I never will."
"You will be mine, Serena."
"No, I won't. And while we are on the subject discussing the fact that you screwed around and got caught. I actually want to thank you."
"Why is that?" He growled.
"Because you helped me realize what a sleaze you really are. It had been coming for some time, Diamond. You treated me like dirt, you beat me. Why did I even stay with you....oh that's right. Because you FORCED me to! I don't want to hear from you again, do you understand me? Don't even come near me."She yelled into the phone.
Without bothering to hear what he had to say, she hung up and went to her bed. Flopping down on it, she fell asleep.
Serena woke up to the sound of her Mother screaming. Flying out of bed, she rushed downstairs.
"Listen you stupid bitch, either you tell your husband to back off. Or your son gets it to the head."
Serena gasped. He was in her house. She crept across the hall to the dining room and grabbed her Mothers antique vase.
"You are NOT getting to my daughter, do you understand me?"Her father yelled.
"Oh perfectly."
A gunshot was heard, followed by the screams of her brother and mother. She peered around and saw her father on the ground, blood surrounding the shirt on his chest.
"Now, unless you want me to add another hole to his body, I suggest you tell me where she is."Diamond demanded.
"Right here!"She said, attempting to hit him upside the head with the vase. However her klutz attack sprung again and she tripped over her father.
The vase shattered and Serena fell to the ground. Diamond turned around and looked at her with a look that would make satan himself cower.
He reached for her and she screamed.
-----------End flashback------------------
Serena sniffled. He had tied her down and tried to rape her. But the Sailor Scouts were somehow triggered and they came to her rescue, not even transformed. As soon as they untied Serena, she whipped out the crescent wand belonging to the Princess and let it take her body over. She couldn't even remember what happened as soon as she grabbed it, the scouts wouldn't even tell her to this day. Luna and Artimiss however, had been keeping a close eye on her since that night. Like she was a bomb set to explode at any given moment. She wished so badly that she knew what happened, maybe then she could have a clue to why things were the way they were. Was Diamond gone? The scouts swore that he was when she was...possessed? That had confused her so much, who could've taken over?
She felt so responsible for that night, if she hadn't of klutzed out maybe she would have answers. She had taken it to heart and joined track, cheerleading, anything to bring her to grace. Her father did live. Missed his heart and went to the shoulder. He had lost alot of blood, but Mercury had healed him as much as she could before taking him to the hospital. They didn't erase the memories of that night to her family, but they did take out the scouts being there.
Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
She went over to the intercom and told the butler to let Darien in. She went over to her bed and froze. There were a pair of purple eyes staring through her window.
Diamond.
She screamed and looked again, they were gone.
"Serena!"
She turned and saw Darien with a concerned look rushing towards her. As soon as he reached her she fell into his arms crying.
"He's back, Darien. He's back!" She cried into his shirt over and over again.
"Shhhhh, who is back Sere?"He asked, stroking her hair.
"Diamond. He's back."She sniffed.
"Diamond who? Come on, sit on the bed and I'll close the curtains."
She let out a frightened wimper when he mentioned the windows curtains.
"He'll get you."She whispered.
He kissed her forehead and went over to shut the curtains. Looking down, he saw a cloaked figure on the other side of the gates staring at the house. Frowning, he shut the curtains.
"You saw him, didn't you?"
"What's going on, Serena?" He asked gently.
She looked into his eyes and saw something she had never seen with anyone but her family and the scouts.
Love.
"Serena, I would never, ever hurt you. If you will tell me what's going on I swear I will help you. But you have to let me know, Sere."
He was sincere, you could see it in his eyes. He would rather die than hurt her. Taking a deep breath, she began to tell him what happened two years ago.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"....and now I'm for sure he is back. I could see his eyes. But I'm on the second floor. He had to of gotten past the gates to get to me."She finished.
Darien was absorbing what she had told him. He could kill Diamond. Hurting her and her family like that.
"That's why I am so scared to be with someone, I'm afraid it will happen again."
"I love you too much to hurt you."
"I didn't exactly say be with you, did I? But seeing how you love me.."She said in amusement.
'Oh shit.' He thought.
"I-I mean..you see....uh..."He stuttered.
"Do you love me, Darien?"She asked.
"You're a tricky little devil, you know that?"
"Answer my question."She demanded stubbornly.
He smiled and did the first thing that popped into his head.
He kissed her.
On the lips.
He pulled away and smiled at her. She grinned evilly.
"You bastard."
"What!"
"You owe me a new lamp!"She shrieked.
"You hit me! It was your........oh hell. How did you know?"He asked, feeling stupid that his secret was in the open.
"Well unless you and Tuxedo mask look alike, talk the same, and are really lovers. You kiss just like him. And you have the same blue eyes."She said.
"Funny. You and your little gay speech."He glared,"I guess you're mad at me for not telling you."
"Nah.....I've got a secret of my own" She stated proudly.
"You're really a man?"
"Nooo."She glared back,"I'm Sailor Moon."
He stared at her. Then shrugged,"Makes sense."
"Course it does."She said,snuggling in his arms.
"So I get my own personal youma killer girlfriend?"He asked hopefully.
"Who said I was your girlfriend?"She teased.
"You hit me with a lamp. You are not getting away with it, sweetheart."
"Point taken."
They sat there for a bit until Darien spoke up:
"You know, the original bet was for you to fall in love with me. I fell in love with you first."
She smirked,"What happens if you win?"
"Oh the guys shave their legs and flirt with the opposing team dressed as girls."He said dully.
Serena shot up with a smile.
"You know what this means?"She asked.
He could almost see the wheels turning in her head as he too, smiled.
"We are gonna get our revenge."He said
"And they are gonna need some cute outfits with fake boobs and some skintimate shaving cream."
