Chapter Eight: Dark Secrets

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed and liked my story. LoveInTheBattleField, great April Fools' Day prank! Okay, since it's been a while, I am going to give you a two for one deal. Hope you enjoy!

It was a cool night in the Melting Pot and Serena was in Charisma's room searching through her belongings in Charisma's bedroom back at her apartment. She had a duffle bag set on Charisma's bed opened as she tossed some of Charisma's things in the bag. She heard the front door open and closed. Serena froze in her steps figuring it was Charisma's mom coming home from work.

She heard a woman's voice called Charisma's name. Serena started to panic as the door knob started to twist as the door slowly opened. Serena quickly zipped the duffle bag and climbed out of the window.

When she jumped down, she saw Darien sitting on his motorcycle with a black helmet on. He turned to her as he held out a helmet for her, "Did you get everything?"

Serena nodded as she placed the duffle bag's strap across her chest. She then took the helmet and placed it on. She got on the motorcycle and wrapped her arms tightly around Darien's waist. He zoomed off on the motorcycle causing a cloud of smoke.

Once the cloud of smoke cleared, the hooded man stood staring at him. In an instant, he disappeared.

Serena and Darien stopped downtown and ordered to slices of pizza from pizza shop called D'Angelos. As they came out of the pizza shop eating the extra-large slices of pepperoni pizza, Darien asked between bites, "Are you ready to go home?"

Serena said changing the subject, "Darien, have you ever seen Charisma's mom?"

Darien hesitated then turned to her and asked, "Why do you ask?"

Serena sighed then said, "Because I thought I was going to get caught by her but I escaped before she saw me. I don't know… something just seemed odd. That's all."

Before Darien could answer, they heard a gunshot and screams. People started to run passed them in the opposite direction of the gunshot.

Darien and Serena quickly glanced at each other. Darien saw the worried look in Serena's eyes.

Darien gave her a stern look and then shook his head saying, "We cannot get involve in human matters. "

Serena asked angrily, "Why?"

Darien said as people brushed passed them, "Because those are the rules. We deal with supernatural events and saving the world from the apocalypse every blue moon not mankind's self-made destruction. We cannot play god and tip the balance between good and evil. It is not our place to get involved in mere mortal matters. It is not own responsibility."

Serena said angrily, "You killed a man Darien to save my life. You are already involved." Serena ran off. Darien sighed discarding his pizza in a nearby trash bin and ran after her.

Someone hidden in the shadows gasped in the shock.

When they arrived at the scene, Serena stopped when she saw a woman crying hysterically over the unconscious body of her son that looked no other than Sammy. She cried hysterically as she held her son's numb body in her arms, "Not again Lord. Not again Lord!"

Serena saw the culprits running away. She frowned and ran after them into a dark alley.

Darien arrived to find the woman crying over her a little body who has a puddle of blood seeping from his side.

The woman cried grabbing his hands and begged, "Please please save him. He's my little boy." Darien's eyes became emotional as he stared down at the grieving mother. The boy had dark hair like him. His eyes were closed like he was sleeping. The mother was a pretty woman in her forties with long messy brown hair with streaks of silver in this. She had green eyes and hardly any wrinkles on her face even though Darien could tell she experienced great pain in her life.

She begged him as she cried on her knees and said, "Please, young man, save him."

Darien said unsure, "I cannot. It is forbidden."

The woman cried, "I beg of you. If you can save him, please save him. I love him so much. I don't know what I would do if I lost him."

Darien locked eyes with the grieving mother for a moment and felt something weird shoot through his body as they stared at one another. He cursed under his breath. He quickly got on his knees.

He lifted up the boy's bloody shirt and saw that he was bleeding profusely through his side. The bullet had stuck a major body organ. Darien held his hand over the wound as the mother watched him intently. His eyes started to glow golden.

She looked in amazement as the bullet slowly came out of her son's body. The bullet came to Darien's hand and Darien sat the bullet down next to him. He then placed his hand over the boy's wound again. The mother's mouth gasped as she saw the wound slowly stopped bleeding. The wound closed up until it was not there anymore. The only proof that her son had gotten shot was the blood on his shirt.

The little boy started to come to. The mother turned her attention from Darien to her son. She cried happily, "Hunter…." Darien smiled as the mother embraced her son.

The boy slowly started to open his eyes. The mother rejoiced and said looking up at the sky, "It's a miracle. Thank you Lord for sending this angel of mercy to us." When she looked down, Darien had disappeared. She searched the crowd for him but she did not see him.

The police sirens and cars completely surrounded them. Her son was still weak as he lied in her arms.

Detective Saint-Martin hopped out of one of the police cruisers. He was stunned when he saw his wife with their son's weak body in her arms.

He quickly raced to them and knelt down next to her. He asked concerned, "What happened?"

Helen said, "Someone shot off a gun and the bullet struck Hunter. He was dying when this teenaged boy healed him."

Detective Saint-Martin looked at her skeptically then asked, "What do you mean?"

Helen said almost mystified, "His eyes glowed golden and he used some form of telekinesis to remove the bullet and heal Hunter's body."

Detective Saint-Martin smiled at his wife as he gently caressed her cheek and said, "Darling, you are frantic. You are making no sense." Gunfire went off a distant away from the police officers.

Detective Saint-Martin directed one of his fellow officers, "Thibodeaux, stay with my wife and son until the paramedics arrived to check them out." A slim police officer nodded. "Jones and Ross come with me." The two other police officers took out their guns and followed Detective Saint-Martin and he rose pulling out his gun as they raced towards the gun fired.

Tuxedo Mask fought hand to hand combat with one of the culprits as Princess Sailor Moon avoided the gun fired of the two of gunmen. Princess Sailor Moon raced against the wall running sideways across the wall as they continued to fire off their guns until they were out of bullets. Their eyes widen behind their masks as they clicked their empty guns at her before throwing them at her. She easily dodged them as she slowly walked towards the criminals.

One of the men saw that Tuxedo Mask was still fighting off their accomplice. He turned to the gunmen next to him and said, "She is only a skinny twit. We can take her."

The other gun asked skeptically, "You sure?" She slowly walked towards them and gave them a malice smile. They raced towards her and she engaged in hand to hand combat. In one final punch, Tuxedo Mask knocked out the masked man he was fighting. Out of breath, he turned to see Princess Sailor Moon effortlessly kicking the butts of the two other masked men. He smiled as he leaned against the wall in a cool pose with his back against the wall, his arms folded across his chest, and his legs across at the ankles.

Princess Sailor Moon back kicked one of the masked men hard into a brick wall causing some of the bricks' residue to come down. She then flipped the other over with one hand until he landed on his back unconscious.

As she caught her breath, Princess Sailor Moon smiled proudly at herself as she turned to Tuxedo Mask. She said happily and giddy as she raced towards him, "I did it. I fought my first battle."

Tuxedo Mask smiled at her then said, "Good job." He then asked her in authoritative playful voice, "Now that you proved that you can defend yourself, are we off this looking for trouble path?"

Princess Sailor Moon smiled then said, "Yes, I think I finally proved to myself that I can kick ass."

Tuxedo Mask shook his head and said playfully, "Women!"

Princess Sailor Moon arched an eyebrow at him. His eyes widen when he heard foot movement closed to them. Detective Saint-Martin quickly raced around the corner and shouted holding out his gun, "NOPD freeze!" He froze as he pointed his gun at the masked vigilante and the startled eyes of a girl dressed in a short sailor costume. He locked eyes with the masked vigilante. For the first time in eight months, he finally was face to face with the criminal who had become his obsession for almost over a year. The girl looked like a teenaged girl and this Tuxedo Mask character looked like a young man in his late teens early twenties with a lean well-built physique. He was about six foot one with black hair. The Tuxedo Mask's character simply stared at him as his grip tightened around the young lady's waist. He was only a kid. The sound of the other officers' approaching briefly distracted the detective. When he turned back towards them, he saw was the silhouette of a man holding a woman in the air and leaping on top of nearby building. Once they landed, he saw their figures running off. He knew that he should call them in but since tonight he sensed they were the reason why his wife and child's life were spared and that the criminals behind it were lying unconscious on the ground nearly him. Tonight, they were even.

Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon watched from top of a building as the woman and her son sat on the back of an ambulance truck getting checked out by the paramedics. He also saw the three culprits arrested being escorted by police officers in the back of police cars. Their hoods were removed and turned off they were gang members. They were shooting at a rival gang member and the boy was hit in the crossfire. He saw Detective Saint-Martin stand next to the woman and child. One of the paramedics treating them assured them that his wife and child were safe. Tuxedo Mask became rigid. Princess Sailor Moon felt his tension.

She asked worried, "What's wrong?"

Tuxedo Mask said, "Detective Saint-Martin has been hunting me down since I have been Tuxedo Mask for the last eight months."

Princess Sailor Moon asked, "You weren't always Tuxedo Mask?"

Tuxedo Mask said, "No, I did not become Tuxedo Mask until last February. I have been running from the cops for the last eight months by the skin of my tail and now I just exposed myself in civilian form to the man's wife and son. I am dead!" He said angrily, "You shouldn't have got involved Sailor Moon."

Princess Sailor Moon snapped angrily, "Were we supposed to let that little boy died and the criminals get away with murdered?"

Tuxedo said angrily, "Yes, if mankind wants to destroy itself than let them. It is their choice. This is why were don't get involved in mortal matters. We already have the bad guys hunting us now the humans too. I shouldn't have listened to you. Now, I have to clean up this mess before we are all exposed and become their lab rats."

Princess Sailor Moon retorted, "Tuxedo Mask, you can be angry at me all you want, but it was your choice to save that little boy. If you want to be angry at anyone, be angry at yourself. I think you personally did the right thing, but you are human too, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. "

He stared at her for a moment then sighed and said, "You are right. I am sorry. I just wanted to blame someone. I am going to keep an eye on them but for now, let me get you home."

She smiled at him. He gently pulled her in arms as they detransformed and headed to the sight where he parked his motorcycle.

Darien and Serena walked hand in hand into Serena's room. Serena smiled when saw Charisma resting in her bed. She was starting to come to. Serena quickly let go of Darien's hand and raced towards Charisma. She happily sat next to Charisma. Charisma's eyes popped open. She looked confusedly across the room and saw Darien standing by the doorway then noticed Serena sitting next to her smiling down at her.

Charisma slowly sat up and asked, "What happened? What am I doing here?"

Serena smiled then said, "You're alive in your own body with no evil godlike his sexy Levi jeans controlling you. You're back, Charisma."

Charisma asked confused, "But how…"

Darien interjected causing them to look at him, "Because you died a supernatural death, Princess Sailor Moon was able to bring you back with the Moon sword. She is like a messiah."

Charisma quickly grabbed her forehead as her memories started to rush back and she remembered all the evil things over the last few weeks. Serena with a worried look wanted to comfort her but Darien cleared his throat indicating for her to let her be. Serena quickly turned to Darien as he shook his head then back to Charisma. Her memories stopped when she remembered meeting a crying Serena at school. When Charisma lifted her head back up, tears streamed down her eyes as she embraced Serena wrapping her arms around her neck. Serena embraced her as they cried on each other's shoulders.

Charisma cried, "I am sorry that I tried to kill your little brother."

Serena cried, "Why did you think I stabbed you extra hard?" They started to laugh as Darien rolled his eyes at them.

When they let go of one another, they held each other's hand. Charisma said still crying, "I missed you so much…I felt so lost."

Serena cried, "I missed you too." They embraced again.

Darien groaned in agony then said, "This is worse than watching a chick flick." They let go of each other and turned to Darien rolling their eyes.

Charisma said remorseful, "You know I did not mean any of those things I said to you. I am sorry I was such an evil bitch to you. It was only out of love."

Darien said sarcastically, "Then don't love me anymore." Charisma laughed as she wiped her tears away with the back of her hand as Darien smiled at her.

Charisma asked, "Can we friends again?"

Darien said, "We never stopped." Charisma got off of the bed and ran over to Darien and embraced him. He quickly embraced her as she cried on his chest. He rocked her in his arms. Serena felt a twinge of jealousy at how closed they were even though she kept a smile on her face staring at them. Then he looked across the room at her directly into her eyes. It was like he was assuring her that it was over between him and Charisma and that she had nothing to worry about. She felt better and the jealousy inside of her disappeared.

Charisma then let go of Darien as Darien diverted his attention back to Serena. They held each other in loose embrace.

Darien looked at Charisma and asked, "I am going to take Charisma home with me. Is that okay with you?"

Darien said telepathically, "I need to find out what Charisma knows. Do you trust me?"

Serena smiled at them and said, "That's fine but I think it is better if you drive her."

Darien asked, "Are you going to be okay? Here alone."

Serena said smiling, "Yes, Darien. I'll be fine. Just look after her." She smiled at Charisma who smiled back at her. Darien nodded. Darien grabbed Charisma's duffle bag and walked out of the room embracing Charisma.

Serena fell back on her bed and sighed.

When they arrived at Darien's apartment, Charisma leaned against the wall as Darien found a small unmarked package on his doorsteps. He picked it up and asked confused, "What is this?"

Charisma smiled weakly then said, "My package…" Darien looked at her then smiled as he unlocked the door.

As Charisma walked in, she blushed remembering the last time she was here and having hot passionate mind blowing sex with Darien.

Darien smiled as he locked up and watched a blushing Charisma. He said, "That was a great night."

Charisma blushed then said, "I thought you forgot about that with all your lovers since."

Darien said, "Yeah, but none of them gave me as ounce of the satisfaction that you gave me with the exception of Rebecca coming in at a close second. She's a wildcat in bed."

Charisma said mockingly tilting her head, "Hence, why you made her your girlfriend."

Darien smirked then said playfully, "Precisely."

Darien said with a yawn, "Well, I am beat. I had a long night. So do you mind if I interrogate you in the morning?"

Charisma sighed in relief, "Please do. Dying does tend to take the life out of you." Darien stifled a laugh.

After coming out of the shower half an hour later wearing one of Darien's oversized t-shirt, Charisma came out of the bathroom. Her heart went rapid as she saw a shirtless Darien lying in bed with one elbow propped behind his head. His body was more ripped than the last time she saw it. His six pack was well on display. A flashback of making love to Darien in that bed at the beginning of the year popped into her head. Her body felt overheated. Darien turned to her and saw how nervous she looked.

Darien smirked at her then said, "Don't worry. I won't bite. I promise you a Dawson's Creek friendly night." Charisma bawled over in laughter. She climbed into bed next to him. They cuddled up next to each other.

Charisma smelled his wonderful masculine scent and said drifting off, "You smell nice." They fell asleep.

The next morning, Charisma awoke to wonderful aroma coming from the kitchen. She knew Darien was already up cooking breakfast since he was always an early bird. No matter how late they were out fighting the bad guys, he always woke up early.

Charisma smiled at the grand breakfast that Darien cooked. He cooked blueberry pancakes, which were her favorite along with scrambled eggs, bacons, sausages, and biscuits. Her poured her a glass of orange juice while he drunk his strong black coffee. Darien learnt to cook at one of their foster parents' home.

As they sat at his dining table eating their breakfast, Charisma answered Darien's questions.

Charisma said, "I didn't plan on dying Darien, but I had to try to stop him. He has the ability to create humans with soul. He is creating an army of humanoid creatures. When he will strike, I don't know."

Darien said, "On November 3. The Hybrid Solar Eclipses…It's the final eclipse of the year."

Charisma said, "The Eclipses are like portals opening from the other realms. That makes sense and is less than a month away."

Darien asked, "Should we warn Elena?"

Charisma shook her head, "No, let the bitch die. We can handle this on our own."

Darien asked taken aback, "Why do you hate her so much?"

Charisma tilted her head and said, "You should know why?"

Darien said confused, "I don't."

Charisma said, "Then let me make you remember." Charisma grabbed Darien's hand across the table. Darien's eyes widen as her eyes turned golden. Everything started spinning around quickly. Darien closed his eyes so he would not get a headache. When he opened his eyes, Charisma and Darien had just arrived in New Orleans two years ago. They were being escorted into Elena's castle for the first time by the old man Darien called Grandfather.

Darien saw a beautiful blonde hair girl with a pretty red bow greeted them. She said excited, "Hello, I am Mina." She looked at the old man and said, "Thank you Alistair, I shall take it from here." The old man nodded and walked off. She asked as she escorted them up the stairs as Darien grabbed Charisma's hand, "What are you names?"

Charisma said, "I am Charisma and this is Darien."

Mina said, "Wow, a witch and a TK. Awesome."

Darien asked, "What's a TK?"

Mina said, "Short for telekinesis. You can move things with your mind and you also have the power to heal. Only one percent of your people can do that."

Charisma asked, "Your People?"

Mina said, "Earthlings. We just arrived in this world and we learnt that some of your people have the power of TK. That will be a great asset. Charisma, you are one of us though. You are a reborn Lunarian. Darien is an Earthling, child of Earth."

"Mina, are you running off the mouth again?"

Once they reached the second floor, the three of them turned around to see a beautiful woman with long golden hair and beautiful blue eyes. She looked elegant in a form fitting blue dress and her hair wrapped in a bun. She looked like she was in her mid-thirties to early forties. She gave them a warm smile that instantly made the three of them melted. Darien instantly felt attracted to this woman. Darien let go of Charisma's hand as Charisma stared at him stunned.

Mina quickly went to embrace her mother. With her arms wrapped around her daughter, she said happily, "Welcome Charisma. Welcome Darien. I know you two had a tough life, but I will take care of you now. You two are destined for great things." Charisma and Darien smiled at each other.

Over the next couple of months, the three of them became instant friends. Darien and Mina quickly bonded with each other and instantly formed a brother and sister relationship. While Charisma would sneak in Darien's room during the night and sleep with him. Sometimes, they made love. Other times, they simply cuddled. Charisma was used to Darien holding her tightly in his arms after they made love. Now, he turned away from her and Charisma felt his coldness towards her.

Darien would spend his days not at school or training admiring Elena. He became jealous because she was dating this billionaire businessman. He was handsome and rich, and they looked perfect together, but he did not treat Elena right. One night when Darien was alone in the study while everyone was out of the house, he heard a commotion downstairs.

The man was yelling at her that he saw her looking at another man at the restaurants and that she was just another whore after his money. She cried that she was not and that he was just jealous. When she touched him he backslapped causing her to fall on the floor crying as she touched her cheek. Darien was mad with rage. By the time he reached downstairs, the man had already left shouting that he was done with her and slammed the door behind him. Darien rushed to Elena's side. She cried on his shoulders. He led her to her study.

As she sat in a chair calmed down a few moments later, she sipped a glass of water that Darien had fixed for her. He knelt in front of her with his hands in his pocket.

He asked concerned, "Are you okay, Miss Elena?"

Elena laughed then said, "You can drop the miss, Darien. Just Elena." She sighed then said, "I am one of the most powerful women in the galaxy, and I cannot get my love life right. How pathetic!"

Darien said, "Elena, you're beautiful. That man was a fool."

Elena said, "That man had plenty of women in his bed. He thinks every woman wants him for his money even though I am just as rich as he is. I knew he was a dog, but I fell in love with him anyway. I always fall in love with the wrong man. I get so tired of coming home to an empty bed." Elena caught herself and looked down at Darien, "I am sorry love. This is not an appropriate conversation to be having with a child."

Darien said angrily, "I am not a child. I am man."

Elena said admiringly him, "Yes, life has been unkind to you. You are wise beyond your years but in the eyes of the law of this country. You are still a child."

Darien said, "But you are not its citizen."

Elena looked at Darien and said, "Good night, Darien." Elena stood up and said, "Go to bed."

As she walked towards the door, Darien said, "I love you, Elena. I am in love. I desire you. I dream about you. I dream of making love to you."

Elena said to him, "Darien, you love me because you are searching for the mother that you never had. You are confusing your need for a maternal love with a romantic love."

Darien said upset walking towards her, "Don't treat me or my feelings as a schoolboy with a crush. I want you because you are a beautiful and sexy woman. I want you because when I see you ... you instantly arouse me physically and mentally. I want a woman not a girl. Let me love you just once."

Elena said staring into Darien's deep blue eyes as he now stood in front of her, "And what about you precious Charisma? If she ever finds out, she will be hurt."

Darien said, "You are right. She will never find out. I promise no one will find out. Let me give you the love you deserve tonight." He ran his hands through her long blonde hair and said, "Forget about the rules and society and just let go. I promise you no one will ever find out." He rose kissed her passionately. Elena tried to push him away not returning his kiss then she found herself weak and losing her resolved and kissing him back.

They ended up naked under the clothes in her bedroom with their clothes scattered across the floor. Elena moaned in ecstasy as Darien skillfully made love to her. He repeated said between breaths, "So beautiful."

Mina burst into her mother's room to tell her about her date with one of her classmates. She saw them having sex. Her mother moaned Darien's name in pleasure. Mina stood in the doorway shocked and hurt leaving the door opened.

In anger, Mina raced down the stairs bumming into Charisma. She was coming from the state fair after some of her friends had dropped her off. She asked Mina what was wrong.

Mina said angrily, "What is wrong is that your boyfriend is upstairs fucking my mother? I damned the day you two came here. I hate them both! "

Mina raced outside and caught a ride to her best friend Rebecca's house and said angrily that Elena was not her mother and Darien was not her brother. When Rebecca asked why, Mina's anger receded. She did not have the heart to tell her best friend that her crush was screwing her mother. She spent the night at Rebecca's.

Charisma raced upstairs and slowly walked to the sounds of moaning and groaning. She walked in the doorway to see Elena on top of her boyfriend as he rose up to kiss her passionately on the lips. She cried out softly, "Darien…"

Darien heard her. He turned towards the hallway and said, "Charisma…" Yet, he saw no one there. He quickly pushed Elena off of him and raced out of the door naked. He caught Charisma halfway down the stairs.

She attacked him screaming that she hated him and that he was a bastard.

Darien cried, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

Charisma cried out, "I hate you. I wish I never met you."

Darien cried out as tears rushed down his cheeks, "You don't mean that. I love you…"

Charisma cried out, "You tell me that after you fucked a woman old enough to be your mother. You're sick, Darien. You're both sick."

Elena walked out with a short white silk robe wrapped around her body.

Elena asked concerned, "Charisma and Darien, what's going on?"

Charisma cried out, "You already know." Darien looked at her staring into her eyes. He let go of Charisma. Charisma almost fell as she looked at Darien as if he was in a trance.

Elena said concerned, "What's wrong Darien?"

Darien shook his head and looked confused. He turned to Charisma.

Charisma asked, "What did you do to him?"

Elena said walking down the stairs towards them, "He does not remember. I see why you keep him around. He is quite the wildcat in bed." Elena wrapped her arms around Darien.

Charisma said angrily, "Get your hands off of him."

Elena smiled wickedly at her and said, "Look, you little witch, you either do what I say or I will continue to make this beautiful boy my little boy toy."

Charisma said, "And I will tell the police."

Elena said, "No one will believe you. The only people I cannot brainwash are witches. I am practically royalty while you are nothing but scum that nobody wants. Now, either you do as I say or I kick you out and I will take away forever the only one that gives a damn about you. And you will be all alone in the world again. That's worse than death to an orphan like you."

Charisma frowned then said, "What do you want?"

Elena said, "I need a witch. I will teach you how to master you power and you protect me from danger."

Charisma asked angrily, "And how will you know I will not kill you?"

Elena said, "Because you are loyal and if I wanted to, I can compel Darien to do whatever I want whenever I want from wherever I want. I don't even have to be there. For instance…" She turned to Darien. "Darien, go kill yourself."

Darien stiffen then said, "Yes, my lady."

Darien walked towards the edge of the stairway ready to jump off.

Elena said playfully, "Jump!" As Darien was about to jump from the third floor, Charisma yelled, "All right! I will do as you say."

Elena smiled then said, "Excellent. Stop Darien. Return to bed." Darien stopped. He got down and walked back to Elena's bedroom.

Charisma's eyes widen then said, "You promised me that you would not touch him."

Elena said with a malice smile, "I lied. He's collateral, and once I am done with him, you can have him back. Yet, betray me and you will be burying him." Elena walked back up the stairs. Charisma watched as she closed the door behind her…

Darien let go of Charisma's hand and abruptly stood up from the table. He yelled angrily, "That bitch. I trusted her." He paced his living room floor.

Charisma cried, "That's why I dumped you because I could not love you that way anymore knowing that I had to share with her and I could not tell you or anyone. That's why Mina ran away. She does not know that Mina knows. Why Mina is back? I don't know…."

Darien paced his living room back and fro angrily as if he was trying to control his rage. Charisma said emotionally, "I know you think your hatred of women comes from me but it's Elena. I think you are subconsciously taking out your hatred of her using you on other women. She took away your innocence and your free will. She is turning you into this vicious monster and you don't even realize it…"

He yelled cutting her off, "How many times…"

Charisma hesitated on the verge of tears.

Darien screamed again, "How many times did she rape me?"

Charisma jumped then said, "I don't know. Every time she gave you something…"

Darien looked confused then asked almost scared, "What do you mean?"

Charisma said, "Cars, apartments, clothes, shoes, money, girls…anything you wanted. She did things for you after she had her way with you."

Darien said, "But the last thing she brought was that car last Christmas."

Charisma said, "I know. I was able to master my powers. I cast a powerful spell on you to protect her from you by binding you to me. The last part of that the ritual was to make love to you. That's why I did what I did in January. You are immune to her powers and charms now. She cannot hurt you like that anymore."

Darien asked, "What do you mean bind?"

Charisma said, "It means that you are under my protection as long as I live. She cannot harm you."

Darien asked, "Do you think she would try to kill you?"

Charisma said, "I can handle Elena. She is very powerful sorceress."

Darien said, "She's Queen Serenity's sister. Mina's mother and Serena's aunt."

Charisma said, "Darien, you can be Lunarian and a witch. I am. Yet, Elena is very powerful and manipulative. I still cannot figure out why she wants Serena. I know she is piss off that you have awaken Princess Sailor Moon. How has she been treating you?"

Darien sighed then said, "Well, ever since she returned the other night, Serena and I have been avoiding her like the plague. She is meeting with Serena today. Serena's excuse was that she wanted to wait until Sammy recovered before they officially talk. Finding out about his sister being Sailor Moon has him quite traumatized and freaked out."

Darien sighed as he ran his hands through his hair and said, "She's going to piss when she finds out you are still alive." Charisma simply smiled.

Darien looked at his coffee table and saw the packet, he asked, "Now, what is this?"

Charisma gave him a wicked glare.
