"That's..Raye.isn't it?" Jadeite asked in surprise. Darien nodded grimly as he put the girl on the sofa. "How is this possible?" Jadeite demanded.
"You know.I spoke to Serena not to long ago. She did mention something about Raye being here but I brushed it off as nothing. She is human after all and bound to make mistakes." Nephrite mused softly. "But I guess she was right this time"
"The picture.It look's exactly like this woman.Are you sure it is really them?" Zoisite demanded. "It could be a different soul within the same shell."
"Yes.I would know my brother and sister's scent anywhere." Darien growled as he looked over at his brother. "This is them. How this is possible I do not know. But I do know this.they will not leave this house until we figure what the hell is going on here" He said with anger.
"You cannot keep anyone without their will to stay" Jadeite said softly but sighed and closed his eyes when Darien looked at him with a 'just try and let them leave' look. Rubbing his head in annoyance he looked back at his friend. "You might be our lord but you are not the human's lord. Although how you got Serena to stay is still a mystery to me" He mumbled the last part. Darien rolled his eyes.
"Zoisite. I need you to examine them. Luke hit them with quite a hard mind bomb and I am hoping it did not hurt them much" Darien said and immediately regretted it.
"LUKE? Why that bastard!"
"What the hell is he doing here?"
"I cannot believe he would even show his face after what he did last time!" The men growled. Darien stared in surprise.
"Am I missing something here?" he asked as he looked from one face to another but they all refused to answer saying that Kunzite would tell him this. Darien sighed and went in search of Serena with strict instructions to the boys to keep the two faint people safe from any harm. "SERENA!" His shouts could be heard throughout the house. He was frantic. It was too much of a coincidence if these people turned out to be the family Serena referred to.
"What?" Snapped an annoyed Serena as her head popped out of a doorway. "God what are you trying to do? Wake the dead?" She growled when Darien commenced with the staring. "AND what the hell are you staring at?" Darien blinked and came back to earth.
"I need you to come with me" He demanded hoping that for once since he had met her she would listen to him.but if she did that then she wouldn't be Serena now would she? No Serena threw daggers at him and huffed back into the room in which she had first appeared. Darien rolled his eyes and marched into the room right behind her. Grabbing her by the arm harshly he whirled her around. "I do not have time for your childish games Serena!" He hissed in anger. This only ignited her anger too.
"Well gee.I'm sooo sorry. I forgot that I needed your permission for everything." Serena said sarcastically. "Let go of me Darien!" She said trying to pull away.
"You will come with me" he said tightening his hold.
"NO!" She growled with matched anger. Her other arm was free and slowly it reached behind her away from his gaze for something. A slight smirk played on her lips when she felt what she had been looking for. She got a grip of it and looked Darien in the eye. "I'm going to ask you one more time.let me go!" She said softly. Darien answer was a growl. Serena rolled her eyes. "One would think you'd learn by now" She said with a sigh and a shake of her head. Darien looked quizzically at her as her other arm shot out and a (Yup you guessed right!) vase came flying at his head, this time connecting. Darien roared with pain as he staggered back clutching his head. Serena smirked in satisfaction. "Learn some manners you idiot!" She said before leaving the room. Darien groaned rubbing his wound trying to rid some of the pain by friction.
"Good going Shields!" he mumbled as he brought his hand to his eyes. "Memo to self.Get rid of all the damn vases in this house!" Darien mumbled as he stared at his hand. Nope he wasn't bleeding. But it still surprised him that he could feel pain if Serena was somehow connected to it. Straightening up he rushed after her. He would have his answer! (He seems to want lots of answers eh?)
Serena sighed as she regretted leaving the room she had been in. It was a miniature gallery filled with paintings from what she suspected the same artist that had painted the five girls in the hallway. When the vase connected with his head she had winced and had frantically searched his head for any blood but when she saw none her anger began boiling at how he seemed to order her around. Subconsciously she wondered what he had wanted. She wanted to go home. It wasn't much but it was safe. Nothing here was safe. It was like a nightmare come to life complete with handsome stranger who would end up breaking her heart. She sighed. No matter how much she wanted to leave that stupid spell he had put on her or the house or whatever wouldn't let her.
"Serena!" Serena groaned. Darien had caught up with her. She turned around.
"What Darien?" She asked. Darien stopped right in front of her. He stared deeply into her eyes. She felt herself drowning.
"I am sorry" he said. Serena stared. His face was etched with pain and horror. Then she burst out giggling. He stared at her in shock.
"That's the first time you've ever said that isn't it?" She demanded laughing. He looked like he had just said he would feed himself to a thousand sharks.
"It has been a while" He admitted. "But I am truly sorry. I have been leading my people for so long that it has become somewhat of a habit" he said softly. The horror and pain slipping away.
"But I am not one of your people Darien.I'm human" Serena said looking away. "And I need my freedom. I don't need a ruler or leader like your people do" She looked back at him with tears in her eyes. "You have to let me go" Darien's eyes immediately hardened as he shook his head.
"NO! You are not to leave unless I say so!" He growled. She looked at him, her eyes still moist.
"So that's it? You're going to lead my life for me?" She asked trying hard not the break down. "You're going to take away my freedom, choices, my life?" Darien's eyes softened but he didn't back down the least.
"It is for your own good." He said taking a hold of her chin and tilting her face upwards. "But now is not the time to discuss this. You must come with me. There is someone I need you to see." He said as his hand slid from her chin to her arm and grasped her hand. "It is very important" Serena wiped away the tears with her free hand and nodded.
"I have no choice.master" She said with soft venom. "Lead the way" Darien nodded and began running with her to where he needed her to be. Serena stumbled as she tried to keep up.
Raye groaned as she came too. Her eyes were hazy and when they did focus she screamed. "AHHHH!" She cried as she jumped back. There was a man staring her right in the face.
"Oh good.you're awake" Smiled the man. She stared at him in shock. "What? You've never seen a man before?" he smirked.
"A no-I mean yes-UGH! What an annoying man!" Raye growled fighting down a blush. "Who the hell are you?" She demanded getting into her usual bossy woman mode.
"Jadeite Sare at your service my lady" he said smirking as he extended a hand to help her. She growled at him and moved away further. "Don't you think sitting on the seat instead of on the back support would be more comfortable?" he asked innocently.
"Jadeite!" Snapped a voice from behind them. Raye shrieked in surprise and relief at the familiar face.
"Serena! My god! Thank god you're here!" She cried out as she raced to the blond haired girl. Serena looked at Raye with a sad smile.
"I'm sorry you have to be here Raye.I really am" Serena said. Raye looked at her curiously. She opened her mouth to ask her what she meant but Serena was now speaking to Jadeite again. "Is that any way to treat a guest?" She asked glaring at Jadeite. Jadeite smirked at Serena.
"Sorry Serena.Just having a bit of fun" He smiled well naturedly. Serena rolled her eyes. Raye looked on in confusion.
"Uh.Serena? Where are we?" Raye asked in a worried tone. Serena closed her eyes for a moment, and then when she opened them she looked beyond Raye. And nodded her head.signalling Raye to look over. Slowly Raye looked to where Serena signalled.
"HOLLY HELL!" She screamed before darkness covered her sight.
Serena sighed as she stared at Raye's limp body.
"She did not take is as well as you did" Darien said sarcastically. "Am I to assume this is my sister in this lifetime?" He asked turning to Serena. She nodded not saying more than needed. Then she turned to Jadeite just so she would not have to face Darien. Darien noticed this but said nothing. She felt at ease with Jadeite.an ease that she didn't even feel with Darien. Darien made her feel.funny and she was not one for change. "I will go check on Zoisite and what I am assuming is my brother." He sighed and left the room. Serena snuck a peak to make sure that he was gone before sinking into a seat and closing her eyes. She felt Jadeite come closer to her.
"What's wrong?" He asked softly. Serena opened her eyes.they were filled with tears as reality finally came crashing down. Stifling a sob she flunk herself into Jadeite's surprised arms and blurted out everything. How her life used to be normal to seeing Darien die to being kidnapped (Jacob) to being re-kidnapped (Darien - Vampire) to losing her freedom. Everything was too much to bear. And now she would have to be strong for Raye and Andrew. She had not cried much since she had come.mostly because the rational part of her refused to believe her but something cracked and she could hold it in no longer. Jadeite for his part held her throughout the storm.
Darien sighed as he stood outside the door. He heard Serena's sobbing and it hurt him deeply that she would seek comfort in the arms of another. But he knew Jadeite would never betray him. He listened to her babble about her life and how it had turned upside down.mentally thanking her for reminding him that he still had that Jacob McKnight to take care of.
"Darien? The man is awake" Zoisite said as he appeared in front of Darien. Darien paused for a moment, his mind catching up with what was being told to him. "Darien?"
"Sorry spaced out a bit there Zoi. I'm coming" Darien said softly. "How is he?"
Once Serena's sobs had subsided, Jadeite sat down beside her.
"She's quite a beauty" he mused and smiled triumphantly when Serena began laughing. But then she sobered up.
"Jade.Promise me something" She said softly. Jadeite looked at her, his expression one of adoration. The nick name made his heart go unusually soft. Especially since she said it with such care.
"Anything my lady" He said smiling at the girl who was like a little sister to him..VERY little sister. (He is after all thousands of years old while she's only nineteen years old) Serena wrinkled her nose in distaste at the name but refrained from commenting about it.
"Darien took away my life.If you do end up falling for her.don't do to her what's happened to me..." She said softly. Jadeite sobered up also.
"I wish I could promise this but I am afraid it will be hard considering Darien has commanded that his brother and sister will stay here until we get some answers" Jadeite said regretfully. He watched in wonder as Serena's eyes seemed to glow with flames.
"He has commanded has he?" She growled getting up. "That man has to learn that human's aren't his subjects!" She hissed. "Where the hell is that idiot?" She demanded looking at Jadeite. Jadeite for his part began laughing earning a glare from Serena.
"Serena.Darien will be back soon.you may chew him out then.but for now we must tend to his sister" He said. Serena groaned because Jadeite spoke truthfully.
"Fine.But he isn't getting away with this" She said giving in and moving to Raye. "Jade.come look at this" Serena said, her voice filled with worry. Jadeite immediately came to kneel beside her. "What are these puncture marks on her neck?" She demanded hoping they weren't what she thought they were.
"This woman has been very recently fed on" Jadeite said grimly as he began cleaning the wound. "We had better clean it before it has a chance to infect."
"What would happen if it gets infected?" Serena asked curiously as she helped wipe it down with rags and water jadeite appeared.
"She will turn" He said his voice filled with regret. Serena's head shot up so that her eyes bore into his. He nodded. "We cannot let that happen" He said as he bent his head back down and they began cleaning the wound. Then he put his mouth to the wound. Serena cried out and tried to push him away. "I am taking the poison out" He mumbled without looking up. Serena sighed and sat back.letting him do his sucking. A half hour later brought Serena and Jadeite sitting on the sofa talking softly and a peacefully Sleeping Raye on the other sofa.
"How long have you been a.well you know" Serena asked. Jadeite chuckled.
"A vampire?" he asked. Serena nodded. He didn't speak for a few moments. "Many, many years. I was one of the first handfuls that Darien turned. So in other words I was one of the first made" He said smiling at her. Serena looked at him thoughtfully,.
"Well your lucky that the immortal kick you got going on keeps your face looking young or you would be a rotten corpse by now" Serena said chuckling. "Do you miss being human?" She asked.
"Yes and no" he said smiling. At her curious look he elaborated. "I had a little sister. She was the light of my life. After I turned she was left orphaned.alone in the world. But she died a while back.and with her went my ache of wanting to be human again for I could no longer feel like human's do." He shrugged. "She died young.too young."
"How did she die?" Serena asked as she laid a hand on Jadeite's arm for comfort. He looked at her with sad eyes.
"She had been 14 at the time I left her.Old enough to miss me. Some say it was in grief that she killed herself. But I know.she had been killed. She had too much to live for even if I had died." He sighed and looked away.
"How can you know for sure.you were the only family she knew.she could have gone insane with grief and done something like that" Serena argued.
"She died by hanging herself.or so they say. She was four foot ten. When they found her she was dangling 7 feet three inches off the ground. Right in the middle of the empty farm. There was no hay bales for her to climb on.there was no upper level either. She could not have climbed up that high. But the sheriff of the time did not want to peruse it so they wrote it off as suicide" he snapped. Serena recoiled.
"I-I'm sorry" She stammered in surprise. Jadeite sighed.
"It's not your fault Serena.I'm just uptight." He said with soft eyes.
"If it helps.I know how hard it is to lose someone you love" Serena said taking Jadeite's hand. Jadeite looked at her curiously.
"How did you lose your family?" he asked. Serena stared at him for a moment, her eyes getting dangerously dark.
"It was my fault." She said "I killed my family"
The end of chapter 7
