The Deadly Choice

Darien put down the unconscious Serena on the couch once they entered Damien's house. Darien sat at the table in the dining room. Soon, Damien came and sat down. He wasn't sure how to say he raped Serena in a way to keep himself from harm. He decided not to tell.

"Darien, why are you here? Isn't your new girlfriend good enough?"

"She's okay but now I'm living in hell without her. I've missed her whining, crybaby attitude," he replied. There was a silence creeping through the room when Darien broke it.

"What are we going to do about Malaya? I'm sure she would be back."

"The best thing to do is to tell the cops." Darien wasn't really listening. He was worried about Serena. Damien continued to talk making Darien bored and tired. He had had enough, so he got up to check on Serena.

Serena was up, but she was still weak. She saw Darien coming her way. She smiled wildly, happy to see him.

"Are you okay?" Darien asked worriedly. Serena nodded in reply. He sat down on the couch and she threw her arms around him.

"I missed you so much Darien. I don't even understand why I even left Tokyo in the first place!" Serena started to cry. Darien patted her back to calm her down.

"It's okay Serena, we're going through this together now," Darien paused for a while. "How's Rini?"

"She's fine, nothing out of the ordinary." Serena stopped crying and smiled. She was so happy to be with Darien again. She never thought she'd be able to survive without him.

Malaya quickly packed her bags. She was so angry and so upset. Darien is with Serena and her only.

'Time is running out, I have to kill her soon or there'll be no way to get Darien back!' She stopped packing her bags for a moment.

"Where will I stay? It has to be in France." 'Duh!'

After packing and checked out of the hotel. She walked over to Damien's mansion and found a dark cave close by. It was in a perfect spot where she couldn't be found.

"Hello, this is Darien and my girlfriend tried to kill my friend today," Darien said. He looked at Serena. She had her arms crossed.

"I'm not just your friend!" Darien ignored her and continued the conversation on the phone.

"What is this person's name?" the police officer asked.

"Her name is Malaya Ame," Darien replied. (It's pronounced a-may)

"Can you tell me what she looks like, please," Darien just shook his head.

"Can you come over. I have a photo of Malaya I don't want to talk about her."

"What's your address," the police officer asked.

"29 Manchester Road, Paris."

"We'll be there in half an hour time." Darien hung up and told Serena that everything was going to be okay. That wasn't the way she felt though. She felt as if Malaya was going to strike again. Darien sat next to her, rubbing her bulging belly. Serena put her hand on top of his.

He leaned over to kiss her. It was one very passionate kiss. His tongue waited for permission to enter her mouth which Serena did so. It seemed like a tiny game of tug-of-war in their mouths. They broke a part and Serena was gasping for air.

"I love you Serena."

"If you love me, than why were you with Malaya?" Serena asked. It was a really hard question for Darien to answer.

"So?" Serena asked again.

"I don't know. We just met while I was shopping and when he saw each other, I just fell for her. I don't know why though, I just did."

"Maybe it's because of me. I keep on whining and whinging and crying. It was hard enough to help learn our math and English. With me around, I guess you wanted some free time all on your own, without me nagging around you." Her eyes went watery.

"I might've did, nut I love you Serena. Nothing will break us apart…even if you cry too much." Serena looked up to Darien. He saw the tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry. This is not your fault, it was mine," he said calmly. He wiped the tears from her eyes. Serena's head lay in his hand. She loved how Darien comforted her. Everything was becoming clear. It made sense. She only felt more protected in Damien's arms was because she wanted to feel that way. She wanted to be with Darien so much, she didn't notice it.

"I love you so much Darien," she whispered. She fell asleep. Darien laid her head on the pillow and kissed her on the forehead.

"I love you too, my little bunny."

Ilene cried in Ken's lap. Sammy was up in his room. He locked the door so no-one could get in. Serena had been gone for about eight months already. Ami, Rei, Lita and Mina were there to help cheer them up but they ended up crying too. They wanted Serena back and now. Serena's close friends and relatives were all upset. Amara and Michelle visited the scouts occasionally. Usually, they came twice every week except for when they went to do some concerts around the world or for some racing competition.

Andrew didn't go to work. He was too sad to even go to the arcade. Whenever he passed the arcade, he broke into tears. It reminded him of Serena and Darien and the fights they had.

Molly still went to school only because she was forced to. She wouldn't listen to any of the classes though and would cry till there were no tears left during lunch break. It was a dramatic loss for everyone.

"I want Serena back!" Ilene wailed. Rei wiped her eyes.

"So do I. We can't do anything and our only hope is Darien to find her."

"Why can't you look for her?" Ken asked.

"Darien has something to say to Serena. If he didn't then she would never come back and lets face it, we all can't afford to go to France!" Mina cried.

"Only Darien could her our," Ami said. 'Yes, only our prince could get our princess back,' she thought. Lita stood up.

"Maybe some…treats will help…cheer us up," Lita said and walked into the kitchen. An hour past before Lita came out with some crescent moon shaped biscuits.

"It reminds me so much about my little Serena!" Ilene cried out.

The police came back with some very upsetting news. Serena was up in her room. She didn't want to hear the results.

"We couldn't find her," the first officer said.

"We've checked all of France," said the second. Darien just shook his head in disbelief.

"No, she has to be in France. She can't just disappear like that!"

"Maybe she left for another country until it was safe to attack again," Damien suggested.

"That is possible," said the first officer. They were all thinking of other possibilities when they heard Serena scream.

"Serena!" Darien shouted. He quickly ran to Serena's room. When he arrived he saw a masked stranger covering Serena's mouth. The stranger had a gun in their other hand.

"Come any closer and I'll kill her," the stranger warned. Darien knew it was Malaya. She was the one who wanted Serena.

"Malaya, let her go now!" he shouted. Malaya let Serena go and kicked her in the back. She screamed in pain. Darien ran to Serena but Malaya beat him there. She put her foot on her back.

"Marry me and she'll be free," Malaya said. Darien looked at Serena in the eyes. Serena shook her head. Darien closed his eyes.

"I…I"

"Darien don't! You said we would be together forever, no matter what."

"I can't risk it Serena. You and the baby must survive this. I can't save you."

"Don't agree to it. Listen to me; I'm only happy when you're happy!"

"Serena, this is to protect you. I don't want to see you dead."

"Shut the fuck!" Malaya yelled.

"Shut up you bitch!" Serena yelled in return. "Look, we could do this together. Don't forget of all the things we've been through. They were harder mission than this. We could do this."

I'll end it here. I'm terribly sorry for the long wait! I had writers block and I also had lot' of things to do around the house and school. Please review!
