One Year Later

Serena stared at the board in class. She now lived in a small town in Key West, Florida, USA. She chose to live here because it was so different from Tokyo and had no reminders of her past. She dressed completely different and was as cold as ice. She wore black everyday, short miniskirts, corsets, and fishnet stockings. She even cut her hair, so now it only reached her shoulders and had black streaks in it. She never smiled and spoke to no one. She managed good grades as a way to forget her past. Serena liked her new life, so little reminders of the people who hurt her, and she was stronger now, she would never be hurt again. Everything was going well until one day she got an email, from Raye.

Serena

You better get back to Tokyo, or we will come and drag you back here. We know where you are and you aren't just going to get away form your response abilities by running away to America. We're all very disappointed with you, especially Darien. We expected more from you. Oh, and when you get back, stay away from Darien, he's mine now and you are to return the Silver Crystal to Luna, you are no longer to serve as Princess. We've chosen someone else for that position. See you soon.

Raye

Serena was furious when she read the message. She had done everything to get away from them, and they had found her. She refused to go back to Tokyo and suffer though their treatment of her, and they were not getting the Silver Crystal. She would have to disappear again. And if they ever found her again and came after her, they would be sorry. "They will never force me back to Tokyo, and they will never hurt me again. Someday, though, Darien, Raye, and the rest of the scouts would pay dearly for ruining her life.
