The Dark Prince Returns
Chapter Three: Transformation and Betrayal
"No! No! Get off of me! Stay away!" Serena bawled. Tears were rolling down the sides of her cheeks.
"Serena, If you will simply let me hold you, let me hear your sorrows, the pain will go away!" Diamond brushed her cheek.
Serena struggled and kicked. He was so strong! *I can't let myself give up! I have to try! For Darien! I can't give up!* Serena screamed in her mind. She reached for her brooch. Her hand was trembling in fear.
Diamond found that she was trying to transform, so he pinned her hands down to the bed. She began to cry. She struggled and screamed. Her heart was racing beneath Diamond's chest.
He pressed his muscular body harder against hers. He looked into her sparkling blue eyes once more, then forced a kiss upon her lips. He could feel her struggle. He hated to see this, but it had to be done. Her crescent moon began to shimmer. It lit up the dark room and then, slowly faded. Jolts of pain filled Serena's body. She screamed in pain under Diamond's cold, dark lips. The moon rotated around until it was upside down, similar to Prince Diamond's symbol.
Diamond pulled away from his kiss and stared down upon his newborn queen. She was so pale and cold, but was not sick. Her body was changing. He transferred Negative energy into her. It was finally time.
"Rei, do you have any idea where Diamond might have taken her?!" Lita asked.
Rei shook her head in disappointment. *It's my entire fault! I should have known this would happen!* She thought.
Everyone stood at the pier. It was dark now and they would have to all go home soon. They had searched for hours and were exhausted. Darien had run off about an hour ago looking for Serena. He was determined to find her, no matter what it took.
"If Darien can't find her, no one can....." Ami pointed out, Her head hung low.
"That son-of-a-bitch died! He can't be alive! He just can't be!" Mine yelled, bursting into tears. Nephrite comforted her in his arms.
"Well, if Diamond's alive, could Sapphire and Emerald be alive as well?" Rei asked. Everyone was silent. This was bad. They couldn't think of this right now! They had to keep looking!
Suddenly, Darien appeared. He walked out from the shadowed trees and into the group of senshi. "No sign." He didn't even look at the scouts! They could all see his broken heart.
*He found her before. He can always find Serena! They're like, connected to each other! If he couldn't find her.....something's wrong. * Zoicite thought.
The wind picked up unexpectedly and leaves blew around the scouts. The generals protected the scouts from the sharp storm. When it passed, after a few seconds, they all looked at each other, then up in the night sky.
"Well, long time no see, Scouts." Diamond laughed, floating slowly to the ground. The scout backed away from where he was landing.
"What's wrong? This is no way to welcome a guest!" He mocked. "Fine. I suppose you would like to know where your princess is?"
"Where did you take her, Diamond?!" Darien stepped foreword.
Diamond laughed at the poor man standing before him. This was exactly what he wanted; to see the Prince of Earth beg before him. "I have no business of telling you, you wretched insect!"
Darien was fed up with this! He was not in the mood for Diamond's insults. He charged at the ignorant prince and slammed him against a near by tree. "I'll ask you again! Where is Serena?!"
Diamond pushed Darien off of him. "If you can find her, so be it. If she WANTS to come back, take her." He teased.
The Generals stepped foreword, as well as the scouts. They were ready for anything that he would throw at them.
"Hmph. Well, Cape Boy, if you wish to find your princess, so be it. You're on your own." Diamond said, vanishing.
"NO!" Darien yelled, running towards nothing but thin air.
Hours later, Rei and Jedeite sat in Darien's apartment. Rei was in the kitchen cooking up a midnight snack. Jedeite was sitting in the living room with Darien, discussing what their next move was.
Rei over heard their conversation.
"I can't sense her at all! It's as if she vanished into this air! It doesn't make sense....." Darien proclaimed.
"She's somewhere, you just need to fallow your heart. She is waiting for you, Prince Darien." Jedeite looked over in the doorway. Rei stood there with two bowls of Ramen Noodles.
"I know where she is." Rei said, setting the bowls down on the coffee table where the two men were.
Darien stood up immediately. "Where is she, Rei?!"
"She's somewhere dark. I can hear her screaming....." Rei broke down into tears and collapsed to the floor. "I can hear her crying to me in my dreams,. In my every thought!"
Jedeite raced to her side and held her in his arms. "Where is she, Rei?"
".....She's at Tokyo Tower....."
Jedeite turned to Darien, but he was already gone. "Shit!" Darien couldn't fight Diamond alone! There was no way! He'd be fighting with blind anger!
Darien landed in an open window of the dark tower. Not a sound was to be heard. He stepped in and looked around. He took slow steps in, being careful.
He saw a bed to his left. It had light blue, silk covers on it. The pillows were nicely arranged. Then, his eyes caught sight of a beautiful young woman in a sky blue dress. She stood in the shadows, hiding. Her blonde hair was up in pigtails. But, instead of the usual buns at the top of her head, there were loops. Darien took one final step foreword and stared at her beauty.
"Hello, lover." Serena said, stepping into the light.
Darien ran to embrace her. He wrapped his arms around her tight. "Are you ok? He didn't hurt you, did he?"
"No. Not at all."
"We have to get you home, Serena. We must get you out of here, now."
"I wish to stay here." Serena rubbed up to his cape. "It's such a lovely place, don't you think?"
Darien let go of her and looked down into her Lavender eyes. ".....Serena?"
"He told me we could leave this tower and this planet soon. He has a place all picked out. It's a beautiful place, really. It's called the Ominous Moon."
This was not his lover. This was not his treasure, the one he spent his whole life with. This was not his Serena. Her eyes were gloomy and wicked. Her lips were poison and her spirit, that once beautiful shimmering love, was covered in black.
A immoral laugh echoed through the room. Darien glared and turned to the door. "I see you found her?" Diamond cackled.
"You rotten BASTARD!!!" Darien pinned him to the wall, holding him up by only his neck. "You killed her soul! You give her BACK!!!"
Diamond only laughed harder. "It can't be done! She's mine! I warned you one, Endymion. Now, it's my turn to claim this beauty."
The shadows around the two of them began to move. They shifted from place to place, encircling Diamond and his opponent. They seemed to almost come alive and rise from the ground. But, they seemed to do just that. They opened their blood red eyes and grabbed Darien. Diamond fell back to the solid ground and then walked up to the captured Darien.
"Such a shame to have to kill you. That would leave me with no competition." He pondered for a minute. "Go back you the sailor senshi and tell them what you saw. I advise you not to return unless you wish to loose your lives."
The shadow creatures disappeared with Darien and reappeared in his apartment. They left his on the floor to cry. He would never have his Serena again. She was gone.
Diamond walked up to Serena. He enveloped his arms around her, holding onto this moment for an eternity. He loved the feel of her chest moving up and down; the feel of her breath on his neck.
"Diamond," Serena looked up into his eyes. "When will they come?"
"Soon, my love. Soon."
