-1Last time:
"Darien." She said weakly and quietly as she lent against the wall of the lift.
"What is it?" he asked. As he continued to looked at the door.
"I think I'm gonna…." But she never finished as she fell to floor unconscious. At this he turned around.
"Serena!" he cried as he knelt down next to her and shook her.
This time
Chapter 3: Healing begins and bizarre dreams
"Come on you stupid elevator…" Darien yelled frustrated as he held Serena's limp body, which was growing eerily cold, and watched the numbers slowly rise from the ground floor up to the 13th, his floor.
"I think I'm beginning to see why people hate the number 13."
Eventually after 5 gruelling minutes the doors opened with a ping onto his floor.
"Finally" he sighed lifting Serena up into his arms and sprinting down to his room.
"Keys. Keys, keys…" He chanting reaching into his pockets adjusting Serena carefully in his arms.
He eventually found them, slamming the door open he ran into the clean and sterile prospect of his home.
Setting Serena on his bed in the one bedroom apartment he made sure she was in no danger of falling off or anything, before running out the bedroom again and through to the kitchen. Rummaging through the cupboard in the corner he found his large first aid box.
Running back to the bedroom, first aid box in his hand, thoughts of dread and anxiousness went though his head as he sat next to Serena's limp body, which was hard to decipher from the bed sheets it was so pale.
"Ok time to put the last 2 years of medical school into good use." he thought aloud as he set about fixing up her side.
Removing her t-shirt to just below her bust he got a first glance at the wound and hissed at the seriousness of it. Looking at her face he face her a pained smile.
"You're going to be ok, I promise." He promised running a hand gently through her long blonde hair, before setting to work on stitching and bandaging her side.
Serena looked around the pastel Blue and green palace, surprised at the similarity between it and the crystal palace from the future….yet something was different.
Wondering down the hall, each step echoed through the desolate palace.
"Hello?" she yelled, her voice echoing for what seemed like miles down the hall. "Is anyone there? Where am I?"
Continuing she found know one, yet she continued to chant the same questions over and over.
"I think I'm the only one here…" she concluded.
"Not quite, Princess Serenity." a female voice said from behind her.
Turning around she came face to face an attractive girl, who looked no older than she did, she had long brown hair, that flowed down to her hips, and bright ocean blue eyes. She wore a Pastel Blue, off the shoulder dress with a darker shade in green bow and sash that widened towards the bottom.
"Who are you?" Serena asked after giving her a full head to toe examination.
"That is not important at this precise moment, Princess Serenity." She replied smiling kindly as she stepped forwards and curtsied slightly.
"How do you know me? Have me meet, I feel as though I know you." Serena asked as she walked gracefully around her.
"Yes we have meet, you will remember eventually, but until then I need to tell you something and give you this." The brown haired replied holding out a piece of parchment. "Read it now before its gone, as I will not be able to give it to you again." She informed.
Serena nodded and opened it.
"it's a picture." Serena replied and scanned over it taking in the detail.
"No, its more, hold the silver crystal over it." the strange girl replied smiling still.
Doing so Serena removed the silver crystal from its home and held it over the parchment. Immediately words appeared on the parchment.
"Before you read I must tell you, what the letter says is going to happen soon." She informed, Serena looked at her and nodded before looking down.
"When the new moon of the new century is high
And when the sun and moon join as one in the sky
Beware of the shadows that reign around the corners of the sun
Only when the time is past must the shadows start there run."
Serena read aloud then a couple more times in her head. Looking up at the girl a confused expression on her face she tried to take in what the letter said.
"I can see your confused, but I must tell you this. Diamond coming back, you getting stabbed was all part of this, the evil is combining forces." She explained and Serena's eyes widened.
"Do you mean that all the evil we've defeated so far are returning to work together?" Serena asked and her eyes widened as she felt a stab of pain in her side, she held her side and doubled up.
"What's going on?" She asked worried.
"You're waking up, we don't have long, you must find me." The girl replied as the castle around her started to fade into blue and green blurs.
"But how? Ah..." Serena asked as another spout of pain started, she looked down to see blood on her white dress from her side.
"I'm in Tokyo….Look for Miyuki….goodbye for now Princess." with that the girl, like her castle disappeared into white as the meeting ending.
Serena opened her eyes, and was meet by a fierce pain in her side. Craning her neck she could make out the familiar traits of Darien's apartment. The clock by the bed read "6:30pm", looking around she saw she was in the room alone, sitting up slightly she winced as she was meet by a agonising pain, she winced.
Darien entered the room eyes downcast, he saw a figure move out of the corner of his eye, looking up he saw Serena awake and propped up, his eyes widened in surprise, only to revert to normal with relief.
"Serena," he sighed walked quickly over to her. "How are you feeling, you really had me worried when you passed out like that."
"I fell ok, just in a bit of pain now and again, but nothing to worry about…wait…I fainted?" she asked and Darien nodded, she gave a curt nod and looked down. "Then was that a dream?" she asked aloud
"Was what a dream?" Darien asked edging slightly closer.
"I was in a palace, with this girl she looked a bit older than me…she told me about a new enemy…or old new enemies." She explained looking up at him.
He blinked at the confusion of it. "Maybe it was a meeting, like when you used to see your mother?" he asked, thinking about the times in the past when Serena had been visited by Queen Serenity, when she had passed out or other times.
"Maybe, she said to look for her in Tokyo, Miyuki….she also gave me paper with hidden writing…
When the new moon of the new century is high
And when the sun and moon join as one in the sky
Beware of the shadows that reign around the corners of the sun
Only when the time is past must the shadows start there run." She recited her eyes closed in thought she turned to face him slightly and sat up a bit in the bed. She winced and grasped her side loosely.
"Don't move to much." Darien ordered kindly as he placed a had on her arm.
"She told me all the enemies from the past are going to join "when the new moon of the new century is high"….so I'm guessing that means a new moon, and for "and when the sun and moon join as one in the that be a solar eclipse?" Serena replied after smiling at his order.
"Sounds right….and there's a solar eclipse in a few months time…wait a minute." He said and getting up he ran out of the room, returning with the years calendar from the fridge door.
"There's a new moon the day of the solar eclipse." Darien replied pointing to a date on the calendar that had both "Solar Eclipse" and a new moon symbol in the corner.
"Ok, first part sorted….but the last part lost me….I'll have to ask the girls." Serena replied thoughtfully.
"I agree but you get some rest first, your blood level is quite low, took me a while to stop the bleeding." Darien replied at which she nodded.
She gently laid down again and winced in pain as she bent to far one way.
Darien got up and held her arm as she laid down again.
With in minutes she was asleep again, this time however she was such a deep sleep no one would have been able to enter.
