I do not own sailor moon or its characters.

"So when did they arrive?" Hermione asked.

"Only a few hours ago, they went directly to the company headquarters and no one has seen any activity from them yet," Serena said.

"What does the company do exactly?" Hermione asked.

"Well other than making deals with underworld bosses, supplying governments with biotechnology and bio weapons, they also produce spice," said Momiji.

"Spice?" said Blake from his chair behind the large wooden desk. His chin rested on his intertwined fingers and he had a crystal glass full of amber liquid sitting in front of him. His dark brown eyes made him look like he was older than his twenty-five years. He had dark brown almost black hair and a tanned face from working outside and training the slayers.

"Spice was created by a very powerful witch, she was a seer and wanted to see into the future more thoroughly, so she mixed some herbs and created the spice," Momiji said. "For vampires it makes them stronger and heightens their senses, for seers and psychics it shows them what is said to be the future, they can tell what is going to happen and when, they claim some have even crossed over and gone to another world, it's all circumstantial but that's what they claim," Momiji told them. "The only problem is that it changes you mental and physically and almost every seer who had used the spice long term has gone made or died from over exposure."

"Have you ever taken the spice Hermione?" asked Blake.

"No, she's afraid too," Sarah said before Hermione could answer. Sarah was older than Hermione, Serena, and Momiji but younger than Blake. Her hair was black and her eyes were a brilliant blue, they were shaped like almonds, her skin was pale with a slight tint to it.

"Hermione's visions are only premonitions of what could happen not true visions of the future," Serena said, "If she took the spice I don't think that she would go insane."

"But we're not going to test that theory," Hermione told them with a sarcastic smile.

"So who exactly are these vampires?" asked Blake.

"Prince Endymion's brothers the second eldest Kusanagi, usually tends to business in New York City, while the youngest son, Daniel, usually stays in Chicago," said Serena. At that moment a young blonde girl walked into the room and handed a file to Momiji. Momiji nodded a thanks to the girl as she departed. She opened the it and began looking through the new information, her face fell for a second and then she began to listen to Serena again. "We believe that they are here because of a deal that is going to take place between Ambrose Industries and two other companies run by vampires, or that's what they are saying it is."

"Is that the only reason?" inquired Sarah.

Serena opened her mouth to say yes but Momiji interrupted her. "No...this says that The Ambrose's sister has been taking spice and now her mental state has been compromised, however there may also be another reason they have all come, Endymion's Ambrose's ex-flame Mina Anica has been affected by the virus," she said. "She has been deemed mentally insane and her body has begun to deteriorate at an accelerated rate."

"When was she infected with the virus?" asked Hermione.

"About ten months ago," Momiji told them, "Then six months ago she was institutionalized by Endymion's sister Rei Ambrose. From what this says Anica and the Princess have been close since they were small little mini vamps."

"You believe that the two Ambrose brothers are here because of their sister's best friend?" said Hermione.

"Why not? We know that Endymion and Mina had something and that she is an essential part of their coven, we also know that vampires take care of their coven members, like one big happy blood sucking family," Momiji said smiling cynically.

"It doesn't seem plausible, I think they are here for the deal," Serena said.

"Well for whatever reason they are here they have caused a stir, however we can't let it interfere in our affairs," Sarah said. "You have another mission to do tonight and it's a clean-up job. A vampire named Ami Ludmila, she is the fiancée of Zoicite Arber one of Endymion's closest generals," Sarah told them she pulled four black folders from her desk and gave one to Serena, Hermione, and Momiji.

"Arber the doctor?" asked Hermione as she took the folder.

"Yes the Doctor, recently he has been doing some top secret research and she's been helping him develop something," Sarah said. "Something's that could be dangerous to us. The Syndicate has sent you these orders as top priority. Ami Ludmila is to be eliminated."

"Where are we doing this?" asked Serena glancing over the targets bio.

"She's going out with a few other vampires tonight, she's going to dinner with two of her newly arrived friends and will be a Claries after 9:30," Sarah said.

"Who's going to be with her?" asked Hermione.

" Her friend Lita Draguta and most likely her cousin Elisha."

"So do they want it messy or clean?" asked Momiji.

"Clean," said Blake.

"So what do you want us to snipe her or just shoot her up close?" she asked him.

"Could you snipe her?"

"Why not? Who's going to see me?" said Momiji.

"We are leaving this to your discretion, Hermione will be taking the job of hostess, Serena you get to be the waitress," Sarah told them.

"Why?" they asked.

Serena flipped her hair over her shoulder, "If this is supposed to be quick why are you having us go in?"

"Spy on them, see what we can find out about the royal family while we have been given the chance," Sarah said.

Serena gave her a look of utter annoyance. "You leave in a few hours get ready," Sarah told them as she began to walk towards the door. Blake stood and followed her after straightening his jacket and giving a curt nod to all three of them.

They closed the door, and not a second later a lamp blew up, Momiji and Hermione looked and saw there was a scorch mark where the lamp had been. Serena's face was full of anger "Something's not right," she said.

"What do you think it is?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know but something feels off."

"Well whatever it is, we'll have to figure it out later" Momiji said. "I'm going to go and make sure the car is okay."

"The car is fine we were in it yesterday and nothing happened," Serena said.

"That's because I checked it yesterday and if you want it to run fine tonight I have to check it today," Momiji said as the left the room.

"Sometimes I just wanna fry her," Serena told Hermione.

Hermione looked at Serena, "Keep your electricity to yourself." "You should go cool down it would be good for you."

"Yeah I guess so," Serena stood and walked out of the room. She turned to the right and went towards the stairs; a few younger slayers walked around her and some smiled and waved, but she seemed not to notice them. She got to the foot of the stairs and someone called out her name. She turned to look and saw a young girl with shining green eyes and short red hair running towards her.

"Serena, Serena," she yelled as she waved her hand at her. Molly reached her and was almost out of breath, but she kept talking. "Serena… I…did…it," she said breathing heavily. She took a deep breath and spoke; "I was able to produce a fire ball without burning my hands."

Serena gave her a smile, "That's wonderful Molly." Molly had come to the house young and fearful but Serena had taken her under her wing and was like a mentor to the girl. She learned that Molly was able to create fireballs, the only problem she burnt her hands and they got out of control most of the time. If one looked at her hand they would see scaring on them Hermione had used herbs and such to get rid of most of them, but the really bad ones could faintly be seen.

"Do you want me to show you?" Molly asked enthusiasm in her eyes.

Serena hated to crush her spirit but she was to hot as it was; "I'm really sorry Molly but I think I need to be alone right now, how about later?"

"Yeah okay," Molly said. "I'll see you later then," and she ran off with a smile and a wave.

Serena began to walk quickly up the stairs to her bedroom, as she walked in the direction she was also walking right towards Abby's room. She remembered when she had been young and she had slowly walked towards that room. Serena slowly walked towards that room, but then turned and went into her room.

She shut the door and leaned against the wall and realized that she was shaking. Serena shook it off and sat down on her bed, she stared around her at the walls, then her eyes landed on a picture. It was off Serena and her mother and brother and father. It had been before she had come to the house. Her mother was holding her two year old brother and she was standing in between her father and mother.

Serena had been five when the picture had been taken it had been right when her family had bought their new house in California. Her mother Elena had long black hair and wonderful violet eyes; her skin was a beautiful alabaster color. Her younger brother had dark brown hair and looked like their father they both had green eyes and tanned skin.

That pictures had been taken almost a year before Serena had began to realize her gifts. The first time it happened she destroyed her room; she had a nightmare and somehow had produced energy balls and destroyed everything. Her windows were broken, her mirrors were shattered and there were burn marks on the walls. That's when she had realized she also had the power to create fireballs and that she could read the thoughts and emotions of other people.

Her mother hadn't overreacted but she was scared she began to search for someone who could help Serena. Her father had been terrified of her, he never said anything to her about it, but she knew. He had stopped spending time with her, he had stopped talking to her unless it was necessary, and it didn't take long until he couldn't even be in the same room with her. Her mother however had refused to give up on her daughter, and that had been how she found Abby. When Abby had approached Elena and told her that she wanted to take away her only daughter Elena vehemently refused. But two years later, after Sammy had several accidental scars and the house had been remodeled several times, Elena begrudgingly agreed.

Abby had brought her to the house and she had been the only one until a few months later when Hermione had come. They had become instant friends, but for Serena those first few months had been lonely, it had only been Sarah, Serena, and Abby in the house then, Blake had been with his father.

For the first few months Serena's mother visited her every few weeks, but soon the visits began to grow further apart. Soon it was every few months, then once every year, and then they had stopped all together. Elena had begun to fear what her daughter was turning into and she realized that she could no longer be her mother.

The last visit had been when Serena was 13, Elena had told her that she loved her but she didn't know what to do. She had a family to take care of by then, Serena's father had been killed and Elena had remarried. With her marriage had come two more children another daughter who had been five years younger than Serena and a son who was seven years younger, and then Elena had given birth to another child, a daughter 12 years Serena's junior.

Serena knew that the only one who really would miss her would be her brother Sam. They had always shared a bond despite everything; every now and then Serena would write or email him, and he would always write or email back. It was Serena's last connection to her family; Sam was now 20 the same age as Momiji. He had expressed his desire to visit her many times but Serena had always said no, and in truth she didn't know why. She wanted to see him and tell him everything to show him amazing things of her world but no matter what she always held back and remembered the danger that she could put him in.

Serena laid down on her bad and closed her eyes. She dreamed of her mother and brother, it was a vision of the past. She was young and was sitting at the table eating a lemon pie; her brother was sitting next to her doing the same. Her mother was at the sink singing and washing the dishes; it smelled strongly of lemons and soap. To Serena it was a wonderful time, the sun was shining, birds were chirping, there was a nice breeze from the windows and it was summer. She was giggling along with her brother but didn't know why he had just started laughing so she did the same.

Suddenly there was a pounding. Serena sat up and realized that someone was knocking on her door. "Serena it's time to go," yelled Hermione. "Come on wake up."

"I'm up, I'll be down in a minute," she yelled. She looked around, the room was dark and outside it was dusk, she had slept for three hours. She stood and went to the window; Momiji was sitting in the car staring up at her, Hermione ran across the lawn towards the car and hopped into the back seat.

'Come on Sere,' Momiji said to her mentally. Serena felt a slight push on her back and knew it was Momiji. 'Pushy, pushy,' Serena answered. She grabbed her blue duffle bag and ran out the door.
