The Dark Side of Life

Chapter 12
January, 2004
Darien stretched as he and the three other men stood outside the house.
"We fly in two hours. KKris knows we seek him" Darien growled taking in the scent of the air. "He is waiting for us" He added after a thought. "We must take Serena's body with us or he will not release her."
"NO!"
"Not on your life boy!"
"But that is dangerous!"
"She is not strong enough!" Came the protest from four different voices Darien growled.
"If we do not She will Die!" Darien hissed. "And that is not a request it's an order!" Three of the men bowed back at that but not Jadeite. His voice filled with fury as he spoke.
"Are you insane? Do you really want her dead? He will kill her when he gets close enough! Darien are you going to risk the life of the first woman you have loved after all these years?" He demanded his eyes flashing silver. Darien ignored him and turned to the other three.
"I expect you all to be ready when I call. Dismissed!" He hissed before disappearing leaving a pissed of Jadeite in his wake.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS DARIEN!" He shouted into the open air as his fist connected with one of the walls. When he moved back there was a perfectly shaped hole on the stone wall. "HE"LL KILL HER!" But his only answer was a bird's wings as it flew by.
KKris smirked at the woman who sat bound and gagged before him. She was that stupid woman's family. Soon to be deceased but that was another story altogether.
"Katrina. You are a public servant working for the law and government" He spoke in a soft haunting voice. He saw the woman shiver in fear and his smile grew. "You have or should I say had" This brought a growl from her. He paused to stare at her thoughtfully. Then with a glint in his eyes he continued. "A cousin whose whereabouts you know nothing of. You do not know of her whereabouts. Her name is Serena Ashfel. She is a college student, medical major and art minor, who was abducted by a man named Jacob and since there has been no word of her." He smirked. "But I know much about her" At this he snapped his fingers and a vampire came out of the shadows and untied her eyes and hands. "I know where she is also and what her condition is"
"Where is she?" Katrina demanded as she tried to run to the man. His smirk was giving her chills and for some reason she felt he had done something not so good to Serena. "What the hell did you do to her?" She asked as she slammed her fist against an invisible wall that kept her away from him.
"I have done only what I should have" He smirked. "But do not worry. Your cousin will be here soon enough. Come rest a while you have had a tiring day" He raised his hand and Katrina stared in shock as her body began moving on its own accord towards the grinning man.
Serena smiled sadly as she wished for someone to speak to. Suddenly a woman appeared. Serena by this point was not all too surprised because she had figured out that wherever she was all she had to do was think about it and whatever she wanted would appear. The woman looked oddly familiar as she smiled at Serena.
"Hello." She said softly. Serena nodded her head in the woman's direction.
"Hey." She got up and walked towards the girl. "I'm Serena."
"Katrina."
Darien paced back and forth in Serena's room. Every few moments or so he would go over to her body and feel for a pulse. His heart would beat faster as he would try to locate it and it would go back to normal when he found it. She was breathing very lightly now and it was as if she were already dead. It scared the shit out of him. He knew he was taking a very dangerous chance with taking her with him but deep down something was telling him that he had to take Serena with him. Sighing he sat down beside her prone body. Running a hand through his unruly black hair he closed his eyes for a moment. He would have tried to get back into her mind but that would waste energy he planned on using on KKris. He took her hand and began rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand.
"Serena. Come back to me" he said softly as he felt a drop of blood fall from his eyes. (AN: Vampires tears are made of blood).
"I wish the guys would think us important enough to include us in their discussions" Growled Mina. Lita, Mina and Amy were sitting in a room that was surrounded by strong barriers. "They are just worried about us" Amy said softly from where she typed on her computer. "KKris might be a tad bit angry if Darien beats him to a pulp and we'll be the next best targets" She said not looking up. "Yeah that or they don't want us running off again" Lita said sarcastically from where she was filing her nails.
"Still. I want to meet this girl. She must mean a lot to Darien for him too risk his life. And on top of that she is the soul of Jadeite's sister."
"She is an old soul" Amy said softly. Silence filled the room as two pairs of eyes swirled around to stare at the blue haired woman in shock.
Raye sighed as she stood outside Serena's room. She had heard her brother's heart filled plea and it broke her heart knowing that Serena may as well die. She still didn't understand, though, why he was so set on taking her with them when she could be used as bait or worse instead of curing her KKris could kill her right on the spot. Darien was taking a really big chance for some reason that he refused to explain. She sighed. "I hope you know what your doing Darien." And she began walking downstairs to where the other men were.
Jadeite stared at Raye as she entered the room with a worried look on her face. Immediately he went over to her but didn't touch her. Raye looked up at him with worried eyes.
"He's not thinking" Jadeite said. Raye nodded sadly and sat down on the love seat.
"He has to get it into his thick mind that taking her with him could be a weakness he can't afford at the moment" Nephrite said. Jadeite sighed and went to sit beside Raye.
"He is blinded by rage. Until she is out of harms way he will not listen to reason" he said softly. "We will have to keep a sharp eye on my sister while we are there"
"Please watch over him too. He doesn't know his surroundings anymore" Raye whispered speaking for the first time. The other men turned to regard her silently. They couldn't promise something they knew they could not do. She saw this and began shaking. "I've lost him once and if I loose him again. . . I won't know what to do" She whispered as she lay her head on Jadeites shoulder and cried. Jadeite was taken back for a moment but awkwardly he began soothing strokes of her hear. The other men stared at the pair in shock and surprise. Jadeite the playboy of their group was actually showing affection to a woman? What the hell was wrong with him? Jadeite sighed as he rested his chin on Raye's mane of black locks. He was worried for his sister. She could very much die if she went with them. After so many thousand years he had finally found her and now he might loose her again and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. He turned his head away from the guys as a lone blood tear fell from his eye. They stay that way for what seemed like hours until the door upstairs slammed open and slammed shut. Everyone got to their feet hastily as Darien descended with Serena in his arms. Jadeite rushed to her and stared at her body in horror. She looked even worse than before. She looked like a corpse now. A very sickly pale corpse. He looked up into Darien's eyes and saw a pain that surpassed his own.
Darien looked at Jadeite grimly but said nothing. He turned to the other men and his eyes zeroed in on Raye who sat on the sofa looking determined. He raised an eyebrow at her stubborn look.
"Raye. What are you doing here?" he demanded. His sister shot him a glare before answering.
"I'm coming with you!" She declared. Darien growled.
"Don't be foolish woman. You will only get in the way!" He tried to reason but already he knew he was fighting a loosing battle. "Listen to me Raye. We will already be cut short for we have to keep a sharp eye out for Serena but if we also have to watch you we will be at a serious disadvantage." He tried to reason. "Please Raye. If something happened to you also I couldn't' bare it" He said. Immediately he knew he had won as a compassionate look filled her eyes.
"Oh Darien!" She cried as she rushed and hugged her brother. Jadeite grabbed Serena from Darien's arms just in time to see the brother and sister hug. "Please be careful" She whispered. Darien hugged his sister tightly feeling the love he had felt over fifteen thousand years ago. Moving away from her he took Serena from Jadeite and turned to the men.
"Common guys. It's time" he said softly. Nephrite and Kunzite nodded as they stood up and started outwards. Zoisite turned to Serena and briefly checked her pulse.
"Be careful Darien" He said softly. Darien nodded curtly and turned to jadeite.
"Are you coming?" He demanded. Jadeite stood slowly and nodded his head.
"Yes" he said softly staring at Serena's unmoving body. "I have no choice. Unless I want to loose her again." He then turned away from the two and headed to the door. Darien sighed. He knew everyone thought that he was crazy for taking Serena with them. Maybe they were right but something deep inside him said that she needed to be with him. He cradled Serena's body to his own hard one as he walked out. The boy's were already ready to fly and were impatiently waiting for him.
"Think this over again Darien. She could die today" Kunzite said softly.
"Where are the women?" Darien demanded ignoring Kunzite.
"They are in a safeguarded room" Nephrite said softly. Darien nodded. Then with one swift motion he was soaring in the air. The other three sighed as they took to the air also.
KKris smirked as he lay on his large bed. They were coming. He slowly turned his head to stare at the cage he had put in his room. Katrina sat in it growling in his direction. He smirked slightly before calling on Jasmine. It was party time.
Max was going crazy looking for Katrina. It seemed that she was no where in the whole damn city. There had been no words from her for over three days and he was worried. Without her appearance they had to let Jacob go and he was now freely roaming the streets with a superior smirk placed on his face. He sighed as he slumped into a nearby chair. He had an odd feeling that Katrina's disappearance was linked to her cousins' disappearance. There had been no signs of struggles at the home so they had to dismiss that thought. No one would listen to him. He had been in her home many times and he knew how she liked to keep her things. When they went to investigate her house he had noticed that it seemed as if things had been misplaced as if someone was trying to give the room the facade of a peaceful room where no fighting erupted. But something about the way the things were put had been bothering him for days now. Sighing again he got up out of the chair. *Maybe I'll go take a look at her place again* he silently muttered as he headed out the door.
