Chapter two
Viewer discretion is advised
Mitzi and Rayne had just settled in for the night after dancing and brushing each others hair. Of course the dancing was Mitzi's idea but Rayne always enjoyed seeing Mitzi so free and careless. Rayne had just fallen back onto the small love seat laughing when there was a knock on the door. Mitzi " come in " Mako peeked her head in smiling widely soon enough she had stepped in the room revealing a silver tray with two pink mugs sitting on it. Both the girls faces lit up with joy knowing exactly what Mako had brought them as the smell of sweet hot cocoa filled the room. " two cups of homemade hot chocolate with rainbow marshmallows but you girls already know this " Mako giggles as she sets the tray on the endtable next to the love seat. Rayne smiles widely " thank you Mako you're hot cocoa is the best ". Mitzi hugs her mom tightly felling bad about leaving her side when she was hurting the most. Mako just hugs her and gives her a reassuring smile before leaving the room. Mitzi watches her mom leave the room. As soon as the door has shut Mitzi finally caves and hugs Rayne tightly letting out a few sobs. " oh Mitzi it's going to be alright we will get them back and have everything in order once again ". Rayne trys to reassure her but can't help but see her father standing in front if Endymion. Deep down Rayne knows something is definitely gone wrong but she doesn't dare say this to Mitzi. Mitzi calms herself and looks at her friend when her face lights up with excitement causing Rayne to tilt her head alittle and give Mitzi the most confused look ever. "I have an idea Rayne ! " she explains with excitement. " uh oh " Rayne mumbles under her breath knowing that Mitzi can come up with the craziest ideas. Mitzi shoots Rayne a hard look causing Rayne to look serious while she sips her hot cocoa. " Okay let's hear this idea of yours" Rayne looks intently at Mitzi waiting for her reply. " we're going to find them Rayne neither one of our moms have the time to go out and look but we do " Mitzi looks intently at Rayne.
Rayne closes her eyes and shakes her head " Mitzi you're right we do have the time but how would we do this without our mothers throwing fits and arguing with us. And we're would we even begin to look... " Rayne looks away felling torn knowing they could help but knowing how their mothers would react. Mitzi sits down and takes Rayne's hand in hers. " Rayne " Mitzi whispers her friends name bringing Rayne out of her own thoughts. " Rayne I know we can do this.. We both have Senshi powers and we can leave before they notice ... Will leave them a note explaining why we've left , and with you're powers if we go to the old kingdom you may pick up on something.. " Mitzi looks pleadingly at Rayne.. Rayne thinks of Mitzi's plan knowing it may be their best shot she softly nods her head in agreement with Mitzi's plan. Mitzi smiles widely and squeezes Rayne's hand tightly " I know we can do this Rayne I know it !" she explains with excitement. Quickly Rayne notices Mitzi is squeezeing and holding her hand her face turns deep read as she jerks it away, causing a confused look from Mitzi. Rayne stands up and shakes her head thinking of how close they just were she rushes into the bathroom washing her face with water. She mumbles to herself " are you stupid she's you're best friend and you've got more important things to deal with right now ". Even her quite peep talk doesn't take the butterflies away tho. Shortly after Rayne drys her face she hears a knock on the door. " Rayne it's me Mitzi are you okay ?" Rayne sighs and opens the door " yes I just got over heated is all " Rayne offers a half smiles and avoids Mitzi's deep emerald eyes . Mitzi sighs and nods her head not saying anything about Rayne lien to her " why don't we get some sleep we should leave at first light ". And with that both of them awkwardly go back to Mitzi's room laying down quietly making sure to keep their distance.. Rayne lays their in a deep sleep with horrible images flooding her mind untill it turns into a awful nightmare. She sees her father and the other kings laying on the cold wet floor motionless with a empty darkness sounding her. She hears taunting laughter behind her and footsteps. She's practically frozen in her place but manages to turn to face the laughter. All she can see is darkness as she closes her eyes telling herself this is just a dream, this is just a dream she repeats to herself. Until she fells a cold hand grabbing her throat and her body being pressed against another clearly a woman. She snuggles trying to get free but is completely frozen. A cold whisper blows into her ear. " Yes they will suffer but you my Sweet ". The whisper stops as she fells the woman creases her lower back and kiss her neck she continues to struggle finding it useless . " yes my dear they will suffer for their past.. But you do not have to share their fate .. You've done no harm to me or those I love. If you choose wisely you could be a Queen envied by the universe". The woman laughs taunting her more " You will be at my side rather you admit it too yourself now or later makes no difference to me.." she chuckles and grips Rayne tightly pushing her up against a cold wall. Rayne Gos to argue and struggle but before she can make any headway her lips are engulfed by the woman who is now kissing her deeply flooding her mouth with a poisonous taste...
Mitzi screams and shakes Rayne trying to wake her with a tear stained face. Rayne jolts up crying loudly and buries her face into her knees imagining everything agein.. Mitzi holds her tightly worrying about her. " Rayne what happened ?" Rayne looks at Mitzi with tears flooding her face " a vision not sent to me by the light of our world ". Rayne holds onto Mitzi tightly her cry's now becoming sobs as she drifts off into another sleep she mumbles " don't let me go ".
