The Painter:

Chapter 16:

The next morning Serena and Mina were walking down to the lake. "So, how was your date?" Mina asked.

Serena felt her cheeks turn red. "It wasn't a date." She told her sister.

Mina smirked at Serena. "Then why are you blushing?"

That only made her blush more. She then remembered hearing Seyia's voice at the museum. Her smile and blush quickly faded. Mina saw this and became worried. "Serena, did he do anything to you?" Mina asked her sister.

Serena shook her head. "No, he didn't do anything."

"Then what's wrong?"

Serena sighed. "We ran into Seyia at the museum."

Mina gasped. "Did that creep do anything to you?" Mina asked. She couldn't believe what she just heard. How in the world did they end up in the same place? She hoped to god that someone would protect Serena from that creep.

Serena shook her head again. "No, Darien was there. I made him lie to get me out of there. Then we found Rei and Jadeite and left. Can we change the subject?" She asked.

"Alright. So when are we going back home?"

"You and Jadeite can go anytime you want. I'm staying."

"What why?"

"I want to stay here because of Darien. I do like him. I feel safe around him. I love him." She told her sister.

Mina gave Serena a weak smiled. She knew Serena liked Darien. She also knew that Seyia showing up wasn't a good sign. She hoped that Serena wouldn't get hurt.

…………………………..

Later that day they all went to the park for a barbeque. On the other side of the park was Seyia. He was waiting for when Serena was alone. A few minutes later he saw Mina and Serena walk over to the bathroom, now was a perfect time. He got up from where he was sitting and walked over to the bathroom Serena was in. He saw Mina standing next to the door.

He picked something up and walked quietly over to Mina. He then hit her over the head with what he had in his hand, knocking her out. "Mina?" Came Serena's voice. "Are you ready to go back?"

Seyia slowly crept into the bathroom. Serena was drying her hands. "Mina?"

He came up behind her and grabbed her arm. "Come with me." Was all he said to her.

She said nothing as she let Seyia lead her away from the park and into the woods. They walked down a dirt path until no one could see them and he could see no one. "What do you want?" Serena asked him.

"You know what I want." He told her.

"I have a fiancé." She told him.

"The man I saw you with yesterday? He's your fiancé?" Seyia asked smirking. "Well then, let me give you a pre-wedding present."

…………..

Darien looked around for Serena and Mina. "They've been gone for a long time." He said to the others. "I'm getting worried."

"Me too." Jadeite said. "Let's look for them."

"Alright. Raye, you take the girls bathroom. Jadeite, check the playground. Darien and I will check the woods. They have to be here somewhere." Andrew said as they all stood up.

"Let's meet back up in an hour." Raye told the group.

They all nodded before off in separate directions. Raye ran over to the bathroom and saw Mina lying there. "Mina!" Raye yelled as she tried to wake her up.

……………

Jadeite looked around the playground. He saw signs of no one. He became really worried. They had to be around here somewhere. He just hoped they weren't hurt. If they were some one was going to pay.

……………

Seyia pushed Serena on the ground. "Looks like your sister isn't here this time around. Now to get what I wanted in high school, but never got." He told her as he lifted up her skirt.

"Why are you so obsessed with me?" She asked him as she tried to kick him off of her.

"Maybe because you're the only girl to turn me down." He told her.

………………

Andrew went down one path and Darien went down another. They deiced that it was easier this way to find them. "Serena! Mina!" He called as he walked down the path.

………………

Serena heard people calling her name and tired to stand up. Seyia grabbed her by her hair and pulled her back down. "You aren't going anywhere." He told her.

'I hope Darien or Andrew or someone finds me someone.' She thought as she tried to wiggle out of his grasp.

"Ugh, why can't you stay still?" He asked as he sat on top of her.

"Get off of me!"

"No, not until I'm done with you." He told her as he slid his hands up her skirt.

……………..

As Darien ran down the path he heard someone yelling. He stopped running and tried to figure out the direction it came from. "Serena!" He yelled hoping she would answer.

…………….

Serena heard Darien call her name. She wanted to get up but couldn't. Seyia had her pinned on the ground. He pulled off her panties and had her skirt pushed up to her waist.

She struggled to get free. "Someone help me please!" She called.

They both herd footsteps and Seyia saw Darien coming. Darien saw the two of them and got angry. "Get off of her!" He yelled as he tried to pull Seyia off of Serena.

"Let go of me." Seyia yelled as he wriggled free from Darien's grasp.

Darien looked from Seyia to Serena. "I can't believe that you're trying to take advantage of a blind girl. That's just wrong."

"Why do you care?" Seyia asked.

"I care because I love her. Now get lost."

Seyia started to leave but not before looking at Serena. "I'll get you yet. If I can't have you, no one can." He told her as he walked away.

As soon as he was out of sight Darien walked over to Serena. "Are you alright?" He asked her as he helped her stand up.

"I'm fine." She told him. "Can we find everyone else?"

Darien nodded as they began to walk back up the path. When they reached the top everyone was waiting for them. Mina had woken up and now had a major headache. "Serena, are you alright?" Jadeite asked his sister.

"I'm fine. Can we go? I don't feel well." Serena told them.

They all looked at each other then back at the blonde. Darien sighed. "I'll take her home if you guys want to stay."

They all just nodded as Serena and Darien left. They had no clue what happened but they hoped Serena was all right. Maybe she's talk to them about it later.

……………

Seyia left the park and ran to his car. He had to think of someway to get rid of Darien so he could have Serena. He had to get rid of him. Permanently.
