"I know now I should've been more upfront with you, at least then your boyfriend wouldn't have threatened to kill me" he said jokingly as he scratched the back of his head. When did Darien do that? He didn't even speak a word to Allan. I didn't even bother correcting him about the whole Darien is my boyfriend thing. I had a feeling if I did then he would be hanging around me more than I would like. We said our goodbyes to Allan and went on our separate ways. I was dreading this moment. For I knew I was going to be bombarded with questions from Molly. Here we go, I thought mentally sighing.

Chapter 18

Serena's POV

"So when were you going to tell me that Darien was your boyfriend?!" I cringed as the words left Molly's mouth. The moment she had sent Melvin to look for ice cream I knew I was getting it big time. How was I supposed to explain that he wasn't my boyfriend that we've just been occasionally hooking up in his apartment and now cafes? I didn't even know what Darien and I were, and I was more than comfortable to stay oblivious to that fact. Plus, I know for a fact that once a girl drops the "what are we" question to a boy, the boy runs screaming to the hills. I also knew for a fact Darien wouldn't run.

"Well?!" Molly shrieked halting my inner monologue.

"He's not" I said, unsure of myself.

"He's not?!" Molly asked astonished "But you …"

"I don't know what we are Molly, we've just been … spending some time together and …"

"Sharing very hot intimate kisses" Molly said as she sighed and stared off into space.

"I'm sure you and Melvin do it all the time" I said with a roll of my eyes.

"Are you kidding me Serena? Melvin has never ever kissed me like that. The way he held you, they way he kissed you it screamed 'she's mine and mine alone' " Molly gave a squeal of giddiness and collapsed on the soft grass.

"Tell me Serena, tell me your fairy tale" she asked as she moved on to her side, her chin resting on her palm as her elbow propped it up. I mimicked her position as I told her how it all began. Leaving out parts that included me having super human abilities. That's how Melvin found us.

"You girls sure look happy" Melvin commented as he handed us our ice creams.

"Thanks Melvin, and your girl here has been telling me all about the nitty gritty of your relationship" I said with one eyebrow raised. On cue his cheeks turned red eliciting laughter from Molly and I.

"Relax, I won't tell a soul" I said slapping him on his back. He nervously fidgeted with his glasses pushing the middle part of the glasses up from the middle of his nose. As we ate our ice creams Molly decided to ask a few more questions about Darien and I.

"So you're having dinner with him tonight?"

"I guess so" I replied with a shrug of my shoulders.

"I have never told you this Serena, but I saw you guys when you first met. You stared at each other for so long, as if you knew each other in the past and you couldn't quiet recall it. I thought you had met your Mr. Right, I've never once seen you look at guy that way, but then you started yelling at him and stormed off. It was quiet a funny sight"

"I don't remember when we first met" I said sadly. Molly was quick to envelope me in her arms.

"Im so sorry Serena, I … I didn't meant to bring all this up"

"Don't be" I said hugging her back.

In a split second I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand. Instinct had my arms pushing Molly back hard while I pushed myself back away from her. As Molly fell on her back rolling down the hill, a blast of some sort flew past me, inches away from my nose.

"YOUMA!" I heard a woman scream. I stayed kneeling and frozen on the spot. I watched in slow motion as Melvin ran down the hill towards Molly. Turning my head, I saw the scariest thing I have ever seen. It was black and hairy had 8 legs, pincers for arms, razor sharp fangs and eyes as red as blood. My eyes widened in fear as my heart beat a tune it had never had before. I was frozen, I couldn't move. I watched helplessly as it started spitting out balls of web, wrapping around the bodies of those that got caught. I watched on as these balls engulfed the men, women and children in the park.

I was scared, my knees trembled under my weight, my hands shook as my heart kept on beating that tune. My chest rose and fell in such short intervals that it looked like I was having a heart attack. I clutched my chest hoping it would slow down my breathing. I watched as a mother and her daughter was engulfed buy another web ball.

"Save them" I whispered as tears rolled down my cheeks. My eyes widened as I saw the creature turn its attention to me.

"RUN SERENA!" Melvin screamed. I watched as the ball of web flew towards me.

"You can save them" a familiar voice whispered.

"You can save them all, but you need to save yourself first" the voice continued.

Instinct again took over as one of my legs lifted it self to push me out of harms way. I landed hard on my back and like Molly, my body twisted and turned down the hill. The scent of dirt and grass invaded my nostrils as I lifted my head off the ground to look at my assailant. On cue the youma again released another ball. Again instinct came to my aid as I jumped to my feet, flipping backwards multiple times. I had no idea where that came from but my body moved so easily as if it had done it so many times before.

"You are quick human, but let me see you dodge this!" the youma shrieked as it released 6 balls one after another. I watched carefully, my eyes picking up the speed and the trajectory of each ball as I dodged them one after another. Dodging the last one, I saw that I had an opening. Gathering strength in my legs I jumped backwards towards the youma dodging it's last ball, surprised by the amount of height I gained the youma's eyes widened as it finally noticed my leg aiming straight for it. I waited for the pain as my shin hit the youmas head hard. But none came. I watched as the youma flew, 8 legs and all metres away as I landed expertly on the grass.

"Melvin, take Molly and run!" I yelled over to Melvin who's jaw dropped to the flaw.

"But …"

"NOW!" I screamed never once taking my eyes off the youma. He gave me a quick nod and lifted Molly's unconscious form to safety.

This is it. This has to be one of the blanks I've been trying to fill in. Every muscle, every bone, every pore in my body told me so. I have done this, more than once. I felt adrenalin surging through my body, I felt some sort of power pumping through my veins radiating out of my body. I felt strong, stronger than I have ever felt before. I can do this. I can save them.

"I'll kill you human!" The youma shrieked. I couldn't help the smile that tugged at my lips.

"How dare you prey on the innocent, you're nothing but worthless scum! In the name of …" I paused. I couldn't finish my sentence. Then it came, that piercing headache. I dropped to my knees as the pain intensified. I clutched my hands to the sides of my head. What's happening to me? I felt my eyes roll to the back of my head as I was bombarded with images. A flurry of blue, green and red skirts appeared. Youma after youma fighting along side three other females. It was one battle scene after another. I felt every blow, every scrape, every punch, every injury. I felt my body shake uncontrollably. I felt blood oozing out of my nose as the metallic taste entered my slightly open mouth. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand as I assumed the youma took advantage of my immobilized state and threw a web ball towards me. I couldn't move, again I was helpless. Powerless.

"You are stronger than you think are you" the familiar voice whispered again.

"You know where to look, and so shall you find it"

Her voice had stopped the images, washed the unimaginable pain that coursed through out my body. I slowly opened my eyes to see that said web ball heading straight for me. I slowly raised my right hand, stretching it out as it was levelled to my face. Again I heard the voice say.

"You know where to look, and so shall you find it"

Lifting my left hand, I placed it over my heart whispering words I didn't understand.

"Lend me your power so that I may protect those who are dear to my heart" I slowly let out a breath as I felt something swell inside me, it enveloped my entire being warming my insides calming my heart and soul. As the youma's ball inched towards my out stretched arm, a warm silver light started emanating on my right hand. I let out another breath as the light intensified and quickly grew in length, decimating the youma's web ball. I watched as the youma's eyes widened in fear as the light headed straight for it.

"What is this? What powers is this? What are you?" the youma yelled as it put up it's pincers to defend itself but to no avail. I watched as the youma screamed in agony as its body was consumed in the silver light, turning its body into silver ash slowly crumbling on the soft green grass. As soon as the youma was nothing but ash on dirt, the light disappeared. My body battered, my strength depleted, I found myself lying on my side, again grass and dirt invading my nostrils.

Just as I was about to lose in darkness, a man in grey pants and jacket shimmered before my very eyes.

"My, my, what do we have here?" he said as his eyes gleamed in absolute delight towards me.

"Such power, I don't know what you are, but I'm sure Queen Beryl will. And I can't wait to see what gratitude will be bestowed upon me once I deliver you to her" the mysterious guy said as he bent down to face me.

"Stay away from me" I croaked. It was the only thing I could do. Every muscle protested the moment the idea of moving any part of body came to mind. I watched as the man chuckled, brushing his brown locks off his face.

"I'm sorry milady, but that's just not going to happen. You see, I have failed miserably collecting energy because of those damned Sailor Scouts, and you beautiful girl" he said as he brushed my bangs off my face.

"Is going to make up for that" he continued as a scary grin grew on his face. Sailor Scouts? That's what I was. I was a Sailor Scout. I felt my stomach twist in fear as I felt one of his hand reach under my neck while the other under my knees to carry me. Just before he could get off his knees with me in his arms, I heard him groan, as he let go of my weakened form. I looked up to see his hand cradling his shoulder a rose embedded on it.

"GET AWAY FROM HER NEPHLITE!" a familiar voice growled. In a split second my vision was obscured by black and red as the newcomer threw a punch towards the man in grey. I watched as the man in grey flew metres away, his body bouncing off the grounded repeatedly.

The newcomer then turned his attention to me. He was wearing a tuxedo. A black hat lay on top of his unruly jet-black hair, while a white mask adorned his face, concealing his eyes.

"Serena! Stay with me! Serena … Serena !" is the last thing I heard before the welcoming blackness swallowed me whole.

A/N: I had such a good time writing this. I just couldn't stop til it was done! Everyone including myself completely forgot that S made the biggest theory possible last chapter?! The heated scene with D def made us forget about it!Incase you forgot, S had come up with the theory that she might be a super hero! And this chap just confirmed her theory! We'll be hearing D's POV next! Hope you enjoyed this!
