The Dark Prince Returns
Chapter Two: Encounter
"Hello, Serenity."
Serena screamed and spun around. It was Jedeite. He started to laugh, enjoying seeing the princess jump.
"You sick jerk!" Serena yelled, pushing him back.
"Wow! Geeze! It was just a joke!" Jedeite tried to explain. "Rei sent me over to see if you were ok."
"Well, the power's out. I'll go get a flashlight." She went to her shelf and grabbed the flashlight, then turned it on.
"Well, I'll leave if you're ok." Jedeite said, knowing she'd say yes. Whether she did or not, he wanted to get back to Rei and hold her in his arms, keeping her safe.
"Ok. Thanks for checking up."
"Don't get all mushy on me, Serena. Save it for your boyfriend." Jedeite rolled his eyes.
Serena giggled in response. "Bye Jed."
Serena didn't have any classes the next day. It was a weekend and she had finished all her reports.
It was about 9:00 in the morning and she had been walking around campus since 7:00. She held her book that she was reading last night, under her arm. She had walked about a mile already.
*What was Rei talking about last night?* Serena thought to herself. It had been bugging her all day. Was Rei joking? That was highly unlikely. Serena sighed and then stopped.
"Maybe I should head back to the dorm. I have to finish some studying and then Mina is stopping by later so we can head to the mall."
Serena turned around and walked towards her dorm. She wasn't aware of how far she had wondered. She was thinking about last night so much that she hadn't noticed at all. Then again, it was the same as the old days – time always flew by when she was daydreaming.
When she finally got up in her dorm, she sat down at her laptop and opened up her report. She started to type, and then she stopped. She giggled and then walked over to her bed and lay down, opening her book to continue where she had left off. For some reason, this book drew her in. It was the only book she could ever read without falling asleep. She liked that. She was finally becoming someone. She was finally enjoying the great wonder of the world, a way to escape from reality and go in places that she could never imagine.
After about two hours, she closed the book and sighed. She placed the book on her bedside table and sat up. Her shoulders were rather stiff. She rolled them slowly, trying to loosen them.
Two hands fell onto her shoulders from behind her. Serena was startled. Her shoulders were being massaged and began to relax. She closed her eyes and could vision her lover, not even having to look into his eyes or hear his voice.
Arms embraced her, as if they had not in centuries, longing for comfort. Serena leaned back and cuddled. She rubbed her cheek against a soft silk shirt. However, the smell was not familiar to her.
"I tried calling you this morning." Serena said. Her eyes were still closed, using her sense of love to accompany him.
"I think you must be thinking of someone else, my dear. You didn't call me." The voice said.
Serena's eyes opened. This was not Darien. This voice was cold and dark. She shot up and tied to get away, but the grip on her became tighter. She kicked and screamed for help, but it did nothing to assist her.
"I have waited for too long to be this close to you, my queen. Too long." The voice sent chills up her body and she could have sworn her heart skipped a beat.
Serena turned her head, catching a glimpse of a silver-haired man. But when she turned, his dark violet eyes captured hers. She simply stared. There was only one person who could do that to her. Only one person's eyes could hypnotize her like this.
"Diamond!" she yelled, her body shaking in fear.
This was impossible! Serena saw Diamond die in her arms when she was fourteen! He had been hit by Wiseman and died!
"Let me go!" Serena yelled, trying to get loose of Diamond's grip. "Let me GO!"
"Not this time, Serenity. I have waited too long for this. This time, your prince is not here to save you." He held her nose and covered the rest of his hand over her mouth so she could not breath. She struggled and cried, but he gave no mercy.
She finally began to weaken and stopped struggling. Diamond released his hand from her nose and mouth and held her in his arms. He stood up from the bed and carried her in his arms.
"This time, Serenity, you will not escape my grasp. I have waited an eternity to be able to hold you in my arms as I do not. I would give anything for you if you asked. Anything at all." With that, Diamond disappeared from thin air.
Later in the Day, Mina knocked on the door to Serena's room. She had just come from her hair appointment. She had her hair streaked with white highlights around her head.
"Serena? Are you there?" When Mina didn't hear an answer, she welcomed herself in. She took about two steps into the dorm and stopped. There were things thrown everywhere and there was blood on the royal blue carpet.
"Oh, my God!" She yelled, dropping her purse. She walked in further, only to see Darien on the floor. He was crying! The knuckles on his right hand were bleeding. That explained the blood on the floor, but why was everything messed up, and where was Serena? Mina thought.
"He took her.....I tried to get her back, but I couldn't.....I failed her....." Darien tried his hardest to get the words out.
"Darien, slow down! What happened?!" Mina rushed to his side. She knelt down beside him and looked into his eyes.
"I stopped by here because I could sense something was wrong.....Diamond- he was here waiting for me! He knew I'd come," He clenched his bloody fist and his muscles tightened. "I knew what he had done immediately! I ran after him with only my bare fist. He disappeared and my hand hit the mirror he was standing in front of. He picked up the desk and threw it at me. It hit me....." He paused for a moment. "I have to get her back, Mina! I have to!"
Mina saw it in his eyes. He was troubled and shaken. But more than anything, Darien was confused.
Diamond stood at the foot of the bed. The room was dark and gloomy. The choice of furniture, however, was nice.
Serena lay on a silk covered canapé bed. Her hair spread along the bed like a golden blanket. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep. Her lips looked like soft light pink rose petals. Diamond could picture her beautiful crystal-blue eyes, so serene.
She was wearing a gorgeous sky blue dress with sleeves hanging down on her shoulders. It had a rose-like design on it, spreading all up the dress. It had slits on the sides that went up to her mid-thigh.
She began to stir, as Diamond walked over to her side. She was not awake, but he assumed she would not be for a while. He lay next to her on the bed, admiring the beautiful shape of her body. She was so young and innocent. He loved that about her. But most of all, he loved her eyes.
He crawled on top of her fragile body. His hands found a place under her head, holding her to him, as if it would never end. The problem was, Serena didn't love him. He had saved her life by sacrificing his, and yet, she would not even rest in his arms freely. He had to find a way to make her love him. It didn't matter how.
He brushed his hand gently against her face. She slowly opened her beautiful eyes. As she did, He opened his eye as well; his third eye. She gasped, then tried to get free of him, but it was no use! He was too strong!
"If this is how it must be done, Serena, so be it."

Thanks a bunch for all your reviews, guys! That's the most I have gotten for any of my stories on one chapter! I must be a pretty good writer! Lol! J/k! Well, I did find a mistake in my writing, thanks to one of you. I had spelled Darien's name differently. The thing is, though, there are many ways to spell it. Derian is another way to spell it, but it is used as Darien in Sailor Moon, so I was wrong. If there is anything that you think is incorrect, tell me. Thanks a bunch! This time, though, I won't write until I receive 7 reviews! Tell your friends! ^_^,, Thanks!
