Chapter 2
The 5 young girls made their way to the mall, they had pulled up all the cash they could for their friend. Serena had kept saying for them not too but they would not listen, if they all bought her new stuff and her father found out. There would be trouble unless she found a way to sneak them in. Store by store they bought an outfit each for serena, then few extra's, Thankfully she did not have to try any of them on as she convinced the girls, she knew they would fit and promised to wear then whenever she could. Depending on the occasion and on how she felt throughout the day.
They were all now in the food court waiting on their burgers, sipping on their shakes slowly. "Well Serena, you happy with our presents?" the young blond gave a gentle smile and nodded "yeah, thank you everyone I'll pay you all back as soon as possible." Rei waved her hand and chuckled "we wanted to do this for you meatball brains, just think of it as an early birthday present ok?" Serena laughed her friend Rei did have a strange way in showing on how she cares for her. "Alright then, I suppose that will work out better." Their food came and all 5 girls ate, gossiping, giggling. Soon it was finally time for Serena to go home, on the way she looked at her phone. Right outside a set of apartments was flashing saying 5 text messages and 20 unanswered phone calls, ALL! From her father, Reading one of the text messages she could have died.
'WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU! WHEN YOU GET YOUR ARSE HOME YOU ARE GOING TO BE SEVERLY PUNISHED! I NEVER SAID YOU WERE ALLOWED TO GO OUT!'
Shaking she didn't know what to do, it was probably best to go home and get the punishment over and done with but a apart of her body wished to run away. Placing her phone away she began heading home, the sky was growing darker and she was wondering on how to get the shopping bags in without her father noticing. Biting her thumb ' I could always climb through the bedroom window'. Nodding her head at the final decision she made it home. Seeing that the window was open she climbed up, luckily her father wasn't there, hiding the bags deep in a closet she let out a sigh of relief. Until a loud bang was on the door, "SERENA ARE YOU FINALLY HOME YET!" the blonde got up from the floor and walked over to the door opening it. "I got back a few hours ago father, I apologise I have been asleep." Anger was spread across his face. She didn't have time to react until she felt a fist in her stomach. Her blue eye's widened hitting the wall as another came hitting her right in the mouth. Again! He was at it again "Father please!" He looked down at her as if she was rubbish. "Don't father me you lying bitch! Do you really think I'm that stupid! You was probably out with some boy!" "No father I swea-"she couldn't finish as he hit her again, it was the same. No matter on how much she wished for it not to. Tears fell from her eyes crying was her only way through the pain.
Once it was over, he left her curled up in a ball, slamming the door and locking it "No dinner for you tonight!" holding her close, she did not know on how long she would be able to take this type of pain. A low scratch was herd from the window, Serena looked up seeing a black cat with a gold crescent moon on its forehead, slowly get up opening the window "Luna, you've come back. Been sneaking round mina's again right for those treats and artimes?" she couldn't help but chuckle. The black cat nodded "Why, Serena I was certainty not over there because of Artimes but… are you ok? How did you get hurt?" her heart suddenly dropped, she couldn't tell the one closes friend she has about the terrible secret she's been hiding away from everyone. Shaking her head she giggled to herself "you know how I can be Luna, such a klutz I am! I tripped and fell down the stairs don't worry. "
Getting get strength she got up and went over to the bed, her eye's dropping "well Luna, I'm going to take a nap… "Once her head hit the pillow, she was completely asleep.
Luna looked the young woman over; she could sense something was up with her, getting up she walked around the bed, examining her until she sighed giving up. She decided to take a nap also.
Around 2am Serena's communicator went off, groaning reaching over to the table grabbing it "Moon here, what's up?" A very angry mars was on the other end "get your arse to the park! Monster attack! We need senshi power!" Serena got out of bed, noticing Luna was up and ready "Let's go serena! The girls need our he-"the sound of the door was being unlocked, Serena's heart began to race turning to Luna, "Go! Get out of here tell the girls I'm on my way-"the door swung open and the man there saw the girl at the window "SNEAKING OUT ARE YOU!" Luna was confused as Serena backed up. "N…no I ...i was just-"a sound of skin hitting skin was herd and bone crunching throw to the wall "don't you lie to me bitch! You're just like that pathetic excuse of a mother!"
Trying to get the window, Serena failed over and over, she saw the cat in fear until she was hit over the head with a bottle, "Your grounded for a week!" he shut the window locking it, and walked out of the room locking that as well. Once the footsteps quietened down Luna rushed over to Serena, "S…serena…? " when Serena didn't move she thought the girl was out cold until she herd quiet sobs, "L…Luna….please ..Don't tell anyone… this is our secret." "But Sere-""no buts! I…if anyone finds out, he'll hurt you and my friends. I couldn't bare for anyone to get hurt by my mistakes." Kneeling up she picked up her cat and held her close, "don't worry Luna, I'll protect you…"
Both of them stayed like that the rest of the night as Serena cried quietly. The sounds of her communicator was long forgotten leaving a very pissed off set of sailor scouts.
Well that's all for now folks! X x sorry it's not as interesting as chapter one! But there's still more to come!
