Part 15: "Too Late To Say Sorry"

Darien looked down at the blonde odango in his arms with love. She looked so beautiful in her silk, pure white wedding dress that it just took his breath away. The diamond ring on her right hand glittered as she reached up and stroked his face.

"Oh Darien, finally, we can be happy together," Serena murmured, locking onto his lips with all the passion she could give.

Darien moaned into her kiss. "Serena..."

"I love you," she sighed, breaking away from him. Suddenly, his new wife screamed as she was forcibly ripped from his embrace.

"SERENA!"

Darien desperately tried to reach her, but she was unattainable. A vision of the said woman in her Princess garb came to the ebony haired man. She gazed at him with something like sorrow, then drifted away. Rocks and debris flew up from the ground, blocking Darien's vision of her. He called Serena's name again, but she was gone.

The scenery shifted, and Darien was standing in a desolate place. All around him was absolute nothingness; nothing but the gray, almost colorless ground and his own pain. Darien collapsed to the ground, moaning as the voice came to him again, like so many nights before.

"Darien, you must stay away from Princess Serenity. Her safety, your safety, the safety of the entire planet rests on you staying away from her. If not, Serena will be in terrible danger, and she will die."

Darien stood in anger, fists balled.

"How do I know you're for real? This is... just a dream! How do I know you are telling the truth!?" he cried furiously. Only an echo of the mysterious man's enigma speech came to him.

"Serena will be in terrible danger, and she will die..."

But then, something happened.

Something that hadn't ever before in these dreams.

It went on.

The scenery shifted once more, and Darien was standing at the edge of a cliff, looking down at the churning white and blue ocean below. Jagged rocks lined the way down. He looked up, dizzy at the height, and was surprised to see Serena, not a far distance from him, also regarding the ocean.

"Serena!"

She looked around, dressed as Princess Serenity. Her face was expressionless though, and her eyes were cold and dark. Darien shivered under that gaze. What was wrong with her?

"What do you want?" she spoke menacingly, eyes never leaving Darien's.

"I want to ask for your forgiveness! Please, I only broke up with you because I dreamed you would die if I didn't!" Darien cried, pleading in his voice.

Her intense eyes narrowed hatefully. "Why should I accept your forgiveness? It is too late, Endymion... Darien... You broke my heart for the last time. In the end, it was not some befallen disaster that killed me. It was you. It was the love you stole from me."

"NO! Serena-"

Serena looked away from him and then, to Darien's horror, stepped off the cliff to her icy death.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Darien rushed to look over the edge, but saw only the sinister, swirling rage of the ocean below, inexorable in its roar and ripple.

Serena was gone, but her words drifted back up to Darien on the wind:

"It's too late to say sorry."

Darien awoke with a shuddery gasp, breathing deeply in what could be classified as hyperventilating. But what woke him up was not his eery nightmare. It was the cat that now sat on his floor, red eyes desperate.

"Darien! We need your help!" the feline implored. "No one but you can save her, I know it..."

"What- what are you talking about?" the man asked, nonplussed and still fighting for control over his accelerated breathing.

"Sailor Moon was put under an eternal sleep spell! Only you can help her!" Luna cried in explaination. "Please, save her! I know you still care for her, deep down..."

Darien looked away, out the open window and into the afternoon sky. A soft breeze played with his hair. Classes had ended, and right when he got home, the man of the roses had gone straight to bed in fatigue, a probably not so good idea considering the dream he'd had.

When he didn't say anything, Luna cut straight to the point.

"She's dying! She's about to run out of time; go to her!"

Darien head snapped back as a look of determination settled on his features, no need to think now about whether to go or not.

He would not let her die.

He would not let his dream come true in any way!

Hold on, Serena! Don't leave me! I'm coming!

A/N: Heh heh... what will happen? I'm sure you can probably guess, if you've seen "Prediction of Doom", but remember! My story is a little different from that episode and will go a little bit differently! Oh, and sorry that chapter was a little on the short side, but hey. Next will make up for it.

Tee hee, Lady Razeli gave me the idea for doing a Sailor Says... "If you're depressed and know it, then DO NOT GO FIGHTING EVIL MONSTERS ON ANY CONDITION!!! Sailor Moon Says!" LOL!

Review, because the more who do, the faster I update!
