Chapter 8
January 2004
AN: This is dedicated to someone very special and close to me who died in a car accident a few years back. May he rest in peace.
Jadeite stared at her for a moment not comprehending what she said. Then slowly his mouth opened and closed. Finally after a few moments of this action he was able to get a word in.
"Excuse me?" he asked in surprise. Serena stared at him with hard eyes.
"I am the reason my family is dead. I killed them" Jadeite stared at her silently for a moment staring deeply into her eyes. And for some reason he could read her eyes clearly. There was pain.anger.hurt.sorrow.and hatred to herself in her eyes.
"Serena.I haven't known you very long but from what I've seen of you.other than the minority namely Darien.no one has been at the receiving end of your anger. And I understand how Darien could be but.what do you mean you killed them?" He asked knowing he was babbling but this was just too shocking for him to process. Serena sighed and looked at him with sad eyes.
"I was eight when it happened." She began her voice strangely neutral.
***FLASH***
"Mommy!" Cried an eight year old blond haired blue eyed Serena. Her eyes were glowing with anger. "I WANNA GO!" She cried stubbornly. Her mother sighed as she reached to grab her daughter by the hand and sit her down on her bed.
"Serena! It is way too late! And on top of it all there are bad drunk people out tonight. It is not a safe night to go out. Please don't argue with me" Her mother tried to explain but Serena was a very spoiled child and she glared at her mother a moment before screaming at her. "I HATE YOU MOMMY! YOU DON"T LOVE ME! YOU DON'T WANT ME TO GO! NO ONE LOVES ME! I WISH I WAS DEAD!" She cried her voice filled with hatred as she hopped off the bed and stomping back into her room. Ellen sighed as the door slammed shut shaking the walls.
"If she won't take me then I'll go on my own!" Serena grumbled as she began packing a small handbag with clothing. "Common Molly" She said taking her small red haired raggedy Ann doll. "We can go to the fair by ourselves!" With her other hand she hurriedly scribbled a note. Brief and to the point.
Gone to fair. Bunny
Serena stared at the note a moment. Bunny was her parent's nick name for her. Sighing she put it on the table beside the door and hurried out. It would be a long walk ahead of her. She snuck into the backyard and lifted the loose fence board that lead to the supermarket behind her home.
"KEN!" Ellen cried as she rushed through the house trying to find her husband. A middle aged brown haired man came running to his wife.
"Ellen?" he asked grabbing her shoulders trying to steady her.
"We have to find Serena!" She cried as she shoved the paper in Ken's face. All color left his face as he read the childish scrawl. "She's out there all alone Ken! We have to go look for her" Ellen said as tears flowed freely from her eyes. Ken nodded and rushed back into their room. Grabbing their coats and car keys they left the house in search of their daughter.
Serena stared in wonder as her parents rushed to the car a piece of paper fluttered to the floor as the car screeched out of the driveway. It had begun raining so Serena had decided to turn back.and besides she was cold and hungry. She went over to the paper and looked at it. It was her note. Her parent's had gone looking for her. She smiled in satisfaction. This would teach them not to listen to her. She said smiling gleefully as she went back into the house and changed into her pyjamas. Dragging her blanket to the sofa in the den she turned on the TV and snuggled into the couch. She was laughing at a smurfs episode when the doorbell rang. Thinking it was her mom and dad back she went over to the door. She looked surprised to see two men in police uniforms standing there drenched. She didn't want to open the door but her mother's words came back to her. 'Serena the Police is there to help you. Listen to them and always go to them if you are in trouble'. She nodded her head and opened the door.
"Hello.how can I help you?" She asked smiling at the men. Her stomach began feeling tight when she noticed them men were not smiling.
"Serena Ashfel?" One man asked. Serena nodded her head. "Can we come in?" he asked. Serena looked at him curiously but moved away to let them in. She looked on in surprise when her aunt and uncle came in right after them.
"Auntie? Uncle?" She asked in surprise. They had tears into heir eyes and her aunt came straight to hug her. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"I'm sorry baby.it's about your mother and father" her uncle began. Serena looked at her uncle in panic.
"What about them uncle?" Serena demanded getting scared. They're ok aren't they?" She asked.
"I'm so sorry Serena.mommy and daddy passed away a few hours ago" her aunt said as she broke down. Serena stared straight ahead not even noticing the death grip hug her aunt had her in.
"H-how did they die?" She asked not really believing what was happening.
"A drunk driver turned too sharply at slones curve. He lost control of the car and slammed into your parent's car." One of the officers spoke up. Serena looked at him in surprise.
"Your mother was worried about you. Before she.died.she asked me to look for you." Said the second one. "She said you were all alone out there.and then she told me to tell you that she loved you" Serena heard no more as her mind stopped working. She didn't faint but she just wasn't there anymore. ***FLASH***
"I didn't faint.but my mind stopped working. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. They put it down as long term shock. But I knew what was wrong..guilt and resentment towards myself. If I had not been so stupid, they would not have gone out looking for m, especially when they clearly warned me that it was dangerous to go out at night." Serena said, her eyes focused on nothing in particular as tears filled her eyes. "I was silent as the dead for three years after that. My aunt, uncle and cousin tried everything.finally Katrina was the one to bring me back into the living world. I was told that I would sit in a dark corner just staring at nothing. They had me hooked on an IV because I would not eat or drink anything." Serena sighed as she looked at Jadeite. "There you have it.The mess-up of my damn life" She said laughing harshly. "So.do you still wanna be friends with a murderer?"
"You still blame yourself don't you?" Jadeite asked. Serena looked at him in surprise.
"How can you sit there, listening to what I just told you and not believe it was not my fault?" She demanded. "I made them go out that night! Even after she said it was dangerous!"
"You are afraid" Was all he said.
"Of what damn you?" She hissed. Jadeite just shook his head as Raye came to.
"We will speak more on this topic later" He hissed as he turned to Raye. "Welcome back to the living world Raye" he said sarcastically. Raye just stared at him in wonder. Then she looked at Serena, but not in surprise anymore. More like a calm acceptance.
"Raye." Serena said nodding her head as she wiped away her tears.
"Are you all right Serena?" Raye asked noticing the tears. She got up and went over to the blond girl.keeping a safe distance away from the man. Serena smiled and nodded.
"Yeah I'm fine. How are you doing?" She asked hoping to change the subject. It worked. Raye slumped into the couch seat next to Serena.
"Darien is really still alive isn't he?" she asked softly. Serena nodded. "You weren't lying that day.Ugh! It's so.like.impossible. I would think I was going crazy but I saw him standing right behind me.alive and well." Raye growled to herself.
"Yeah.well I didn't take it to well when he found me" Serena said sarcastically thinking back to when she had been tied up to a tree. "I think I should have tried my luck with Jacob" She said softly.
"Oh I'm not too sure of that" Came a voice from behind them. Serena rolled her eyes but didn't look back at the person or acknowledged him in any other way.
"Darien" Raye whispered as she got up and went to her brother. "I.We haven't seen you in so long." She whispered as she wrapped her arms around the startled ebony haired man. Darien for his part stood there frozen. "But.you're not dead! Your alive and here! Everything's gonna be all right now" She said smiling. Darien didn't return her smile. "You do know me don't you?" She asked when she didn't see a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. Darien slowly shook his head. Serena sighed and decided to help him out.
"Come here Raye. He does not know you. Hell he can hardly remember anything of this life time..." Serena began as she spun a tale of vampires and death and souls and reincarnation and paintings and lovers. Raye for her part sat there in shock as she digested all this.
"So you're telling me that my brother..who I might add I have lived most of my life with.is actually the incarnation of some vampire king who died three thousand years ago but for some reason still has his soul intact thus being reborn as MY brother a mortal then dying and turning back into a immortal then kidnapping a woman who tried to save him and not letting him go..is there anything else I'm missing?" Raye asked shaking her head. Serena smiled slightly at her.
"Yeah.You are the exact replica of his sister when he was first a mortal about fifteen thousand years ago. You also have her soul." She got her desired effect. Raye's eyes grew wide in shock as she stared at her brother who nodded in confirmation then back to Serena then promptly fainted.
"She has a knack for that you know" Jadeite mused softly chuckling. Serena turned her curious eyes on him.
"For what?" She asked
"Fainting." He said simply then smirked and went to pick her up. "Since I am assuming that this young lady will be staying with us for quite some time I will take it upon myself to prepare a room for her" He left before Serena could stop him leaving her alone with Darien. Serena growled something about 'dismembering a certain blond haired man so that he could never bare children' before turning to stare at the fire that they had created to keep Raye warm a while ago. (I don't know if I will make them fertile in this story yet so just work with it)
"I wonder how long you can keep ignoring me" Mused Darien from behind a hint of laughter in his voice.
"How long can you hold you're breath?" she growled in response.
"A lot longer than you can imagine my dear.a lot longer than you can imagine"
Jacob growled as he sat at the police station. Being interrogated by Serena's cousin of all people was hell.
"You were last seen with her Jacob." Katrina hissed as she slammed her hands down on the flat surface. "Strands of her hair, blood and her backpack were found in your car!"
"I don't know where that little slut is" Jacob said for the millionth time.
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP!" Katrina screamed as she pulled the chair out from under him making him fall. "TELL ME WHERE THE HELL MY COUSIN IS!" She slammed the younger man onto the wall with anger.
"I. DON'T. KNOW!" He bit out.
"Kat." Katrina let go of Jacob and he sunk to the ground. She rubbed her eyes and looked over at her partner. He had a sympathetic look on his face. "Let me handle this one." He said softly. Katrina stared at him a moment before nodding. She went over to the door and leaned against it. "All right you little punk. IF you don't start talking I will have you brought up on Kidnapping, assault, battery, ignoring a court restraint order.and Murder of the first degree.and that's just the beginning. We haven't' looked at your previous record yet." He said with ice in his eyes and a very evil grin on his lips. "So you ready to speak?"
"You've got nothing on me" Jacob said smirking as he sat down again.
"I wouldn't say 'nothing'." Katrina's partner said. "Kat?" He turned to Katrina.
"We have 23 people at the moment who will be willing to testify that you have been stalking Serena at home and at school. I have 4 witnesses who saw you leave with Serena. They say she looked as if she was being forced to go with you. And on top of that we have the security camera tapes from the school showing you and your numerous confrontations with Serena.Including one right before she disappeared" Katrina hissed. "Now then.Either you tell me and Max everything you know or I'm gonna book your ass and make sure you never see the outside world again" She hissed gesturing to her partner. Max smirked at Jacob who looked nervous.
"You're looking a little hot under the collar Jacob.Care to tell me anything?" Max asked.
"You know! We could have been back at the house if you girls had hurried up just the tinniest!" Kunzite growled as three figures flew behind him. Kunzite had already zapped their luggage back to the house via Jadeite but three people.well sort of people.he could not handle so they were taking the old fashioned way there. And besides the girls scent had not penetrated the house so it would not let them into the house had they zapped themselves there. (Remember they're vampires and need to be invited in.or something to those lines)
"Oh come on KU!" Lita said sarcastically using Mina's nick name for him. Kunzite growled at her but kept going straight. "How were we supposed to know what to pack?" She pouted but ended up giggling almost falling out of the air. Kunzite rolled his eyes but stared straight ahead.
"You let yourself be known to Darien while he was still mortal right?" Amy asked her mind already whizzing with thoughts. Kunzite chuckled slightly. Amy was the brains in the women side of their little family.
"Yes. We thought it would be best if he knew us. That way if trouble arose he would not be hesitant in trusting us."
"But that's not what happened is it?" Mina asked softly coming up to look Kunzite in the eye. Kunzite looked at her surprised then sighed.
"No. He thought I was responsible for the attack to him. He knew right off the bat at our first meeting that I was not normal and he just couldn't find it in himself to trust me. That is partially the reason he got hurt so bad that day"
"You said KKris was the reason he got injured" Amy spoke up in surprise.
"Let me put it this way. Had Darien let us help him we could have saved him a lot of hurt. And even after when KKris left, thinking Darien was as good as dead, which he was at the end, we went to help him but he ran from us. Had he let us help him.maybe his human side would have survived and he wouldn't have to come back." Kunzite sighed. "We failed him when he needed it the most" he sighed. Lita from behind him rolled her eyes and smacked him on his behind after catching up with him.
"You are such an idiot! You did what you had to do. You tried your' best. And you know better than I do that Darien will not hold this against you." Kunzite stared at Lita for a moment before nodding slightly in acceptance as to what she had just said. "Now.how much longer?"
KKris looked at his lackey with disgust. "You do not know what is going on?" He demanded. The poor man shook his head, his shoulders shaking with fear. "And you almost revealed yourself today" he went on. "You never seem to think before you speak"
"I am sorry my lord. It was but an accident" Spoke the lackey drawing back slightly in hopes that he would not be struck down.
"He went back to the house. He has been outside for how long? You even spoke to him up-close!" KKris said his eyes blazing. "Sufficient to say that I couldn't care less about it being an accident. I want results. Don't make me kill you!" He growled.
"I.I am sorry my lord" KKris nodded.
"One last chance!"
"But my-"
"ONE LAST CHANC! YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO KILL HIM FOR OVER FOUR THOUSAND YEARS!" KKris roared in anger. The lackey was thrown back when KKris hit him with a powerful mind bomb. "One last chance" he whispered. His eyes were wild, and his teeth grinded against each other. He slammed his fist into the Lackey's stomach making him double over with pain.
"I want my own room" Serena growled staring at Darien with anger. Darien sighed.
"Can we not discuss this when night falls?" he asked. Serena growled at him.
"NO! I want my own damn room! You've taken my freedom from me and ill be damned to hell if I let you take anything else" She hissed. Darien threw his hands up and growled.
"FINE!" And stalked off. Serena stood there surprised for a moment before rushing to catch up with Darien.
"Darien?" Serena called when she lost track of him. Her eyes whipped back and forth in the dark corridors but the tall dark haired man was no where in sight. "Darien! This isn't funny!" She shouted trying to stop the waver of her voice. She screamed as suddenly she was thrown backwards. She looked up shocked in the eyes of Luke. "Luke?" She asked with fear in her voice, her eyes going wide. He smirked at her before grabbing her by the hair and slamming her against another wall. Serena let out a scream of pain and then cried for the only one who could save her. "DARIEN!" She cried but then a hand came crashing down on her cheek.
"Keep silent you damn bed warmer! Darien will not hear you" he hissed as he raised her to his eye level. Serena was held a good few feet off the ground.considering Luke was taller than her.and only supported by the pull of the hair in his hand. "Now my pretty." He began but Serena let out a scream of her own and smashed something on his head. He cried out and staggered back dropping Serena to the ground. Serena groaned a bit when she hit the floor but smirked at him not showing weakness.a piece of broken vase in her hands. "You think that will stop me?" He asked laughing slightly once he had regained his composure.
"Well you looked pretty stopped a few moments ago" She hissed back trying to find a way to escape. Suddenly he lunged and grabbed her by the waist. "AHHH!" She screamed as he bodily threw her into a room. She screamed more as her body hit a dresser in the room like a raggedy Ann doll. She fell down with a thud.pieces of broken glass all around.
"Now try to escape" He laughed as he slammed the door shut behind him. He stalked over to her limp body and since he was not prepared fell back as Serena's foot came out of no where slamming into his ankles. "You little bitch!" He hissed as he got up rubbing his head. And when he brought his hand back he stared in shock at the blood on his fingers. His eyes narrowed as he stared at Serena. "You drew blood?" He hissed in wonder. "No one has been able to do that in over twelve thousand years!" He yelled as his fist connected with her cheek. Serena screamed as she flew back, her hand rose cupping her cheek. She lay there her hand on her cheek her legs sprawled in front of her, all in all she looked useless.beaten, but her eyes still held a flame. And that was the flame Luke was here to destroy. "You still think you can hurt me?" he asked with a mock laughter. Serena growled as she slowly got up and rushed at him. Luke laughed. "Stupid mortal" As his leg came up and connected with her stomach. She was thrown back again but this time she didn't get up. A small trickle of blood left the side of her mouth as she closed her eyes. Luke stood there looking satisfied. "Now your turn Darien" he hissed as he turned to go. But stopped and stared in shock at the figure standing in the doorway.
Darien was angry with Serena. She wanted her own room even after everything. He had been hoping that she would have cooled off a bit after spending the night with him. But no such luck. He looked back to see if she was following but growled when he noticed the hallway was clear. Suddenly he felt it. A tug in his heart. Closing his eyes he scanned the place. And immediately snapped them open. Serena was in danger. He literally flew down the corridors sending a silent command to the other three men to catch up. He stopped suddenly when he felt something crunching at his feet. Looking down in surprise he noticed pieces of a vase and knew immediately Serena had been here. Looking around frantically he tried to figure out where she was but for some reason her scent was very faint. Finally a crash from one of the rooms had him running into it. He stopped at the doorway in shock at what he saw. Serena lay amidst glass and other debris.her body bruised and bloodied and she seemed to be bleeding. She was not moving at all. Her body was deathly still. That thought made his blood run cold. He tore his eyes from Serena to the figure that was standing with his back to him. Slowly the man turned around....
End of chapter 8
Yeah I know not much of an ending but I'm tired. We all know what happens right? So Luke either really hates humans.particularly the ones close to Darien or has a brain disorder. What do you think? I couldn't make Serena's character a murderer.well not like the you know immediate murderer.so I put the whole spoiled brat and fair and car accident thing in. (I swear.I think death has a thing for me.(The AN above) Everywhere I go someone dies..too bad I can't bite Fate in the @$$(Shrug))) Anyways.thank you all for your reviews. Lotsa luv

"You are afraid" Was all he said.
"Of what damn you?" She hissed. Jadeite just shook his head as Raye came to.
"We will speak more on this topic later" He hissed as he turned to Raye. "Welcome back to the living world Raye" he said sarcastically. Raye just stared at him in wonder. Then she looked at Serena, but not in surprise anymore. More like a calm acceptance.
"Raye." Serena said nodding her head as she wiped away her tears.

We haven't' looked at your previous record yet." He said with ice in his eyes and a very evil grin on his lips. "So you ready to speak?"
"You've got nothing on me" Jacob said smirking as he sat down again.
"I wouldn't say 'nothing'." Katrina's partner said. "Kat?" He turned to Katrina.
"We have 23 people at the moment who will be willing to testify that you have been stalking Serena at home and at school. I have 4 witnesses who saw you leave with Serena. They say she looked as if she was being forced to go with you. And on top of that we have the security camera tapes from the school showing you and your numerous confrontations with Serena.Including one right before she disappeared" Katrina hissed. "Now then.Either you tell me and Max everything you know or I'm gonna book your ass and make sure you never see the outside world again" She hissed gesturing to her partner. Max smirked at Jacob who looked nervous.
"You're looking a little hot under the collar Jacob.Care to tell me anything?" Max asked.
"You know! We could have been back at the house if you girls had hurried up just the tinniest!" Kunzite growled as three figures flew behind him. Kunzite had already zapped their luggage back to the house via Jadeite but three people.well sort of people.he could not handle so they were taking the old fashioned way there. And besides the girls scent had not penetrated the house so it would not let them into the house had they zapped themselves there. (Remember they're vampires and need to be invited in.or something to those lines)
"Oh come on KU!" Lita said sarcastically using Mina's nick name for him. Kunzite growled at her but kept going straight. "How were we supposed to know what to pack?" She pouted but ended up giggling almost falling out of the air. Kunzite rolled his eyes but stared straight ahead.
"You let yourself be known to Darien while he was still mortal right?" Amy asked her mind already whizzing with thoughts. Kunzite chuckled slightly. Amy was the brains in the women side of their little family.
"Yes. We thought it would be best if he knew us. That way if trouble arose he would not be hesitant in trusting us."
"But that's not what happened is it?" Mina asked softly coming up to look Kunzite in the eye. Kunzite looked at her surprised then sighed.
"No. He thought I was responsible for the attack to him. He knew right off the bat at our first meeting that I was not normal and he just couldn't find it in himself to trust me. That is partially the reason he got hurt so bad that day"
"You said KKris was the reason he got injured" Amy spoke up in surprise.
"Let me put it this way. Had Darien let us help him we could have saved him a lot of hurt. And even after when KKris left, thinking Darien was as good as dead, which he was at the end, we went to help him but he ran from us. Had he let us help him.maybe his human side would have survived and he wouldn't have to come back." Kunzite sighed. "We failed him when he needed it the most" he sighed. Lita from behind him rolled her eyes and smacked him on his behind after catching up with him.
"You are such an idiot! You did what you had to do. You tried your' best. And you know better than I do that Darien will not hold this against you." Kunzite stared at Lita for a moment before nodding slightly in acceptance as to what she had just said. "Now.how much longer?"
KKris looked at his lackey with disgust. "You do not know what is going on?" He demanded. The poor man shook his head, his shoulders shaking with fear. "And you almost revealed yourself today" he went on. "You never seem to think before you speak"
"I am sorry my lord. It was but an accident" Spoke the lackey drawing back slightly in hopes that he would not be struck down.
"He went back to the house. He has been outside for how long? You even spoke to him up-close!" KKris said his eyes blazing. "Sufficient to say that I couldn't care less about it being an accident. I want results. Don't make me kill you!" He growled.
"I.I am sorry my lord" KKris nodded.
"One last chance!"
"But my-"
"ONE LAST CHANC! YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO KILL HIM FOR OVER FOUR THOUSAND YEARS!" KKris roared in anger. The lackey was thrown back when KKris hit him with a powerful mind bomb. "One last chance" he whispered. His eyes were wild, and his teeth grinded against each other. He slammed his fist into the Lackey's stomach making him double over with pain.
"I want my own room" Serena growled staring at Darien with anger. Darien sighed.
"Can we not discuss this when night falls?" he asked. Serena growled at him.
"NO! I want my own damn room! You've taken my freedom from me and ill be damned to hell if I let you take anything else" She hissed. Darien threw his hands up and growled.
"FINE!" And stalked off. Serena stood there surprised for a moment before rushing to catch up with Darien.
"Darien?" Serena called when she lost track of him. Her eyes whipped back and forth in the dark corridors but the tall dark haired man was no where in sight. "Darien! This isn't funny!" She shouted trying to stop the waver of her voice. She screamed as suddenly she was thrown backwards. She looked up shocked in the eyes of Luke. "Luke?" She asked with fear in her voice, her eyes going wide. He smirked at her before grabbing her by the hair and slamming her against another wall. Serena let out a scream of pain and then cried for the only one who could save her. "DARIEN!" She cried but then a hand came crashing down on her cheek.
"Keep silent you damn bed warmer! Darien will not hear you" he hissed as he raised her to his eye level. Serena was held a good few feet off the ground.considering Luke was taller than her.and only supported by the pull of the hair in his hand. "Now my pretty." He began but Serena let out a scream of her own and smashed something on his head. He cried out and staggered back dropping Serena to the ground. Serena groaned a bit when she hit the floor but smirked at him not showing weakness.a piece of broken vase in her hands. "You think that will stop me?" He asked laughing slightly once he had regained his composure.
"Well you looked pretty stopped a few moments ago" She hissed back trying to find a way to escape. Suddenly he lunged and grabbed her by the waist. "AHHH!" She screamed as he bodily threw her into a room. She screamed more as her body hit a dresser in the room like a raggedy Ann doll. She fell down with a thud.pieces of broken glass all around.
"Now try to escape" He laughed as he slammed the door shut behind him. He stalked over to her limp body and since he was not prepared fell back as Serena's foot came out of no where slamming into his ankles. "You little bitch!" He hissed as he got up rubbing his head. And when he brought his hand back he stared in shock at the blood on his fingers. His eyes narrowed as he stared at Serena. "You drew blood?" He hissed in wonder. "No one has been able to do that in over twelve thousand years!" He yelled as his fist connected with her cheek. Serena screamed as she flew back, her hand rose cupping her cheek. She lay there her hand on her cheek her legs sprawled in front of her, all in all she looked useless.beaten, but her eyes still held a flame. And that was the flame Luke was here to destroy. "You still think you can hurt me?" he asked with a mock laughter. Serena growled as she slowly got up and rushed at him. Luke laughed. "Stupid mortal" As his leg came up and connected with her stomach. She was thrown back again but this time she didn't get up. A small trickle of blood left the side of her mouth as she closed her eyes. Luke stood there looking satisfied. "Now your turn Darien" he hissed as he turned to go. But stopped and stared in shock at the figure standing in the doorway.
Darien was angry with Serena. She wanted her own room even after everything. He had been hoping that she would have cooled off a bit after spending the night with him. But no such luck. He looked back to see if she was following but growled when he noticed the hallway was clear. Suddenly he felt it. A tug in his heart. Closing his eyes he scanned the place. And immediately snapped them open. Serena was in danger. He literally flew down the corridors sending a silent command to the other three men to catch up. He stopped suddenly when he felt something crunching at his feet. Looking down in surprise he noticed pieces of a vase and knew immediately Serena had been here. Looking around frantically he tried to figure out where she was but for some reason her scent was very faint. Finally a crash from one of the rooms had him running into it. He stopped at the doorway in shock at what he saw. Serena lay amidst glass and other debris.her body bruised and bloodied and she seemed to be bleeding. She was not moving at all. Her body was deathly still. That thought made his blood run cold. He tore his eyes from Serena to the figure that was standing with his back to him. Slowly the man turned around....
End of chapter 8
Yeah I know not much of an ending but I'm tired. We all know what happens right? So Luke either really hates humans.particularly the ones close to Darien or has a brain disorder. What do you think? I couldn't make Serena's character a murderer.well not like the you know immediate murderer.so I put the whole spoiled brat and fair and car accident thing in. (I swear.I think death has a thing for me.(The AN above) Everywhere I go someone dies..too bad I can't bite Fate in the @$$(Shrug))) Anyways.thank you all for your reviews. Lotsa luv
