Chapter Eleven

The Truth about Darien

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.

Hey everyone, here is the next chapter. Warning: This chapter is a little more graphic than others and it talks about the child abuse. I tried to keep it as tactful as possible but it still may make some of you uncomfortable reading it. So if you don't feel comfortable reading it, you can skip over it. I have it in bold italics. This chapter may answer some of your questions about Darien being Serena's soul mate when the real Darien being dead.

"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which one is true."

-Nathaniel Hawthorne

Darien choked, "I'm so tired of being alone. She was all I had since I was nine-years-old. I've been on the streets since I was seven-years-old. I don't remember anything before I was seven. I shouldn't have come here. I did all of this to make her happy, but she lied to me like everyone else did. She abandoned me!"

Serena cried, "She did not mean to die, Darien. It was her time."

Darien cried, "Yes, she did. She could have prevented it, but she got tired of being alone. The loneliness consumed her and she gave up. She got tired of living. Maybe I should do the same."

Serena pushed him upwards until he lifted his head and watched as she looked up into his sad blue eyes and messy hair. She said angrily, "Don't you ever say that again. Darien, so many people cared about you. But you have to let someone in. It is like you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Let me help you."

Darien said, "I can't do that to you."

Serena said, "I want you to do it to me, if it will help you." She lifted her hand up to his wet cheek and said, "I love you, Darien Shields whether you love me back or not. I know how it feels to want to give up and let go. To let it all end, but we cannot give up. We have to keep fighting even if we lose the war, we cannot give up. We have to keep fighting. Darien, you have me now. You have Sammy now. You have a family who loves you now, but you are too dense to see it. Charisma did not leave you. You are here for a reason. Everything she did for you even though it does not make sense now, she did out of love for you. Even when she lost her free will, she did what she did for you. I know it in my heart. She left because she knew you would be okay. You have a purpose, Darien. You just have to keep moving on until you find it. You cannot give up. I won't let you."

Darien smiled then said, "Fine! You made your point. But when I tell you the truth, you won't love me anymore."

Serena said, "Why not?"

Darien said, "Because you love this ideal version of me you have in my mind, but if you know who I really was, it would scared the shit out of you…"

Serena said with a smile, "Then who are you really Darien Shields?"

Darien smirked then said, "For one thing, I am not Darien Shields. Darien Shields died ten years ago."

Serena was shocked.

Mina sighed as she saw that it was starting to become foggy around her. She stood on top of a rooftop and watched as Serena lied comfortably in Darien's arms in bed after their lovemaking. She watched as Darien kissed the top of Serena's hair.

Mina sensed someone's presence. She looked to her left and saw no one. She then looked to her right and saw a man approaching her with his face covered by a hoodie.

He disappeared in the blink of an eye. She gasped silently when she saw him next to her then instantly calmed down.

Mina said unfazed looking up down the building, "It's seems that the lovebirds having finally gotten together."

The hooded man said standing next to Mina in a displeased tone, "That cannot happen."

Mina smiled then said turning to the hooded man, "Stop trying to control everything. No matter how much we run away from our past, the past tends to always finds us." She turned to the hooded man and said, "Darien can't run away from who he really is. Fate won't let him. Everything is already set in motion. Let the cards fall as they are."

The hooded man said, "You sounded like your mother when you said that."

Mina rolled her eyes, "Let them have their happily ever after moment…. Falling in love makes us weak and vulnerable…She is lowering his defenses."

The hooded man said, "And what about Serenity? I don't want her to be in the crossfire."

"He won't hurt her."

"And how do you know?"

"Because he loves her." Mina said apathetically, "Don't worry demigod, your diabolical plan is working. I promised you that my mother will get everything she deserves." Mina disappeared with an orange aura surrounding her. The hooded man looked up for a moment before disappearing with looking angrily at Darien and Serena. The window to Darien's bedroom cracked. Darien froze as he heard the crack. He turned his head as he noticed the crack in on his window that was not there a moment ago. He said softly, "That's strange."

Serena asked confused as she turned her head back to him, "What do you mean that you are not Darien Shields?"

Darien said becoming emotional as he stared into her worried cornflower blue eyes as she softly caressed his chest with her fingers, "I am afraid that if I tell you the truth. You will think lowly of me. You will realize that I am not a man but an imposter."

Serena cried suddenly startling Darien, "Darien, or whatever your name is. Please tell me the truth. I love you. I will never think less of you. Please tell me the truth and stop lying to me. I can't take your lies anymore."

Darien sighed then said as he rose up, "Well, it's a long story so I'll guess we'll get showered and changed and I'll cook breakfast for you."

Serena smirked then said, "You're stalling Shields."

Darien sighed then said, "I am. You made me feel alive last night. No woman has ever satisfied me like you did last night. Let me relish this moment as long as I can and then I will tell you everything."

Serena nodded then said, "Yes, my prince…"

Darien laughed then muttered to himself, "Even that is a lie."

In London, Elena stared out of the large picture window the broadcasted the beautiful landscape of city of London and the Thames River. She was wearing an expensive designer custom-tailored off-white pantsuit with a matching cami underneath and matching heels. Her golden hair was in a French Twist. She heard a knock on the door.

Mason opened the door and walked in wearing an expensive Armani dark business suit. He said walking toward Elena, "My grace, it is time. There is an auditorium with over a hundred people waiting to be reawakened by the great Elena McQueen."

Elena was unresponsive as she continued to stare out the window at the scenery.

Mason said again, "Your ladyship…" When she did not respond, he sighed then asked, "Elena, what is wrong?"

Elena pressed her hand against the picture window as she looked at her reflection of the Sailor Warrior of the Moon in the mirror and smiled as the image disappeared.

Elena sighed then said, "Do you ever wish you could back home, Mason? You're home. Have you visited your mother, your ex-wife and your son? He has to be around Mina's age now."

Mason said unfazed, "My allegiance is to you Elena. It always has been."

She turned to him and asked, "But you gave up so much to be my guardian again. On the moon, you always protected Selenity and me because that was your purpose. But here, you had a life. You were happy once and then twelve years ago, I returned and took all that you gain in this life away from you. Why did you let me? Why do you love me so loyally, Mason? I don't deserve it."

Mason smiled then said, "Elena, if you want to be the villain, then you cannot show emotions."

Elena smiled then laughed as she covered her mouth. Mason said, "I made a choice a long time ago and I have to live with the consequences of that decision. My mum has accepted that her son no longer exists in this world and my wife has moved on and married a man that loves her and my son as his own. However, I will first and forever, be a Lunarian and my place is always with you, my lady."

Elena asked, "Sometimes I regret what I did to my own daughter. Sometimes I think she would have been better off without me."

Mason sighed then said as he buttoned up his three button suit jacket, "Elena, Mina's birth parents died in a car accident when she was five years old. She spent a year in and out of foster home where she was mentally and physically abused. When she was about to give up hope that somebody out there loved her you appeared like a beautiful angel from the heavens and rescued her for the meek existence of her life. For the last twelve years, you have sent her to the best schools and given her everything that money could buy. She has seen the world and several galaxies because of you. She is also stronger, powerful, and confident because of how you raised her."

Elena said, "Then why do I have a strong feeling that my daughter would stab me in the back if she had a chance."

"You're wrong mother. If hypothetically speaking I were to kill you, I'll stab you in the heart like you would do to me if I or anyone else got in your way."

Out of nowhere, Mina appeared strutting out of a room wearing an orange mini-dress and matching stiletto heels as Elena and Mason turned towards her direction. Elena and Mina stared each other directly into each other's blue eyes.

Elena said looking displeased at her daughter who was now standing next to Mason, "You are turning into the conniving little bitch sweetheart."

Mina said tartly in a British accent, "Like mother like daughter, mummy."

Elena smirked then said, "How are things on the home front?"

Mina said, "Total outbreak in New York. It's all over the news. Luna and Artemis are trying to awaken as many Lunarians as possible but it is best to get them out of there so I had grandfather shipped them to New Orleans."

Elena asked, "And what about Serena?"

Mina tilted her head and smiled, "Currently getting her royal brains fucked out by your little boy toy…"

Elena frowned then said, "Mina…"

Mina interrupted, "Mother, it would be fine. Let them have their happily ever after moment. Falling in love makes us weak and vulnerable. You know that better than anyone more." Elena diverted her eyes from Mina as she looked at the ground. "She is lowering his defenses."

Elena said not looking at Mina, "And what about Serena? I don't want her to be in the crossfire."

Mina answered softly, "He won't hurt her."

Elena looked up at Mina and asked, "And how do you know?"

Mina asked, "Because he is in love with her like head over heels in love with her. I noticed the change when we were in New York together. Don't worry, mummy, your diabolical plan is working. I promised that this new threat will be destroyed."

Elena smiled then said, "I raised you well." Elena turned to Mason and smiled and said, "I'm ready to give my speech and bring true peace to this world."

Elena walked passed them towards the door. Mina leaned over to Mason and whispered, "I feel like I gave the same speech twice."

Mason smirked then said, "No one could ever say that you are not your mother's daughter. We'll return soon."

Mason escorted Elena out of the hotel room as he placed his hand on the small of her back and closed the door behind him.

Mina turned around and jumped as she saw the hooded man in the Levi jeans in front of her. He laughed then said tilting his head, "If I did not know any better, I think you are playing me, child of Venus." Mina stared at him with worried eyes.

Serena stood under the shower head in the shower with her eyes closed thinking about how wonderful last night was. Her long blonde hair clung to her body like a second skin as the hot water steamed the bathroom fogging all the mirrors. Serena did not hear the shower door open and closed. She turned around and opened her eyes to find a naked Darien standing in front of her. She jumped then looked down when she found something poking her stomach. She looked down and blushed when she saw Darien's rock hard penis standing at attention.

Darien stepped towards her then said, "I sorry, luv but last night wasn't enough for me." Serena gasped as she found herself pinned up against the glass with her breasts pressed against the glass window as Darien roughed pulled her butt towards him with his hands on her hips. Darien smirked when he noticed her legs automatically spread apart. He leaned forward and whispered huskily in her ear, "Good girl."

Before she could respond, Serena screamed out in pleasure and pain when he thrust his massive shaft inside her throbbing vagina from behind and engaged in rough sex as he pounded his penis inside her body. When she was on the verge of an orgasm, Darien removed his penis from her body and flipped her around until she faced him out of breath. With lustful eyes, Darien attacked her lips with his mouth as he massaged her clit with his free hand. Serena opened her mouth as his tongue ravished hers. He then removed his mouth from hers and left kisses on her neck. He continued to kiss lower until he was sucking and nibbling hungrily on her nice firm breasts as Serena stood there with weak knees. She whimpered when Darien dropped to his knees and roughly pushed her legs apart before attacking her vagina and eating her out. Serena screamed out Darien's name as she released herself in his mouth as he drunk every ounce of her sweet nectar. Serena was spent and her knees started to buckle. Before she fell, Darien stood up and caught her and sat her on the built in bench in his shower.

She soon found her legs wrapped around Darien's waist with her arms around his neck as he thrust roughly inside her tight body as he bounced her up and down on his throbbing penis. He cried out her name in pleasure as a massive orgasm erupted in his body as he released his seed inside of hers. He pounded his shaft inside her until every last drop of his seed was inside of her.

Darien's knees started to buckle as he collapsed to the shower floor with Serena in his arms. They sat there for a second catching their breath as the water poured down on their bodies.

Serena asked as her breasts heaved, "Are you satisfied now?"

Darien turned to her breathing heavily and said, "No, I enjoyed fucking you. I can't get enough of you for some reason."

As Darien watching her breasts rise and fall, he started to rise again. Serena watched in shock as she glanced at his penis and saw he was erect again.

She soon found herself back in Darien's bed on all fours as he pounded his penis inside of her so hard that the bed started to squeak and the headboard started to thrash against the wall. Serena moaned in pleasure as Darien started to smack her tight ass with his hand. She did not know why but being spanking turned her on and made her more aroused. Darien soon released himself inside of her body. He then collapsed exhausted on top of her body as his penis became flaccid inside of her body. He wrapped her in his arms and fell asleep for another couple of hours still inside of her.

When Darien soon woke up with a still sleeping Serena in his arms, he looked at the nightstand. He slowly reached over and opened it. He pulled out a whole box with unopened condoms. He glanced down at his sleeping angel and felt guilty. He put the box of condoms back in the drawer and closed it. He did not realize that it was not closed all the way.

When Serena woke up, she was still naked in bed. She could smell the wonderful aroma of breakfast filling the entire apartment with its wonderful scent. She then rolled over to where her beloved slept and had a big smile on her face. She then noticed a drawer opened. She was about to closed it when saw something red. She opened the drawer to see he had a whole box full of condoms realizing that he lied last night about not having protection.

When Serena walked in the kitchen with her hair still down and wet, Darien smiled when he looked up at her wearing one of his dress shirts as he flipped the eggs in the frying pan with a spatula. He was wearing a muscle shirt and jogging pants. He had a dish towel resting on one of his shoulders. His smiled turned to horror when he saw Serena hold up the box of condoms in his hand.

She said angrily as she tossed the box of condoms at him, "Liar!"

He caught them with his free hand as she yelled angrily, "What is wrong with you? Why are you trying to get me pregnant on purpose?"

Darien quickly turned the burner off under the egg frying pan. He sat the condoms down on the counter then rushed over to Serena. She looked up at him with emotional eyes as he grabbed both of her arms looking down at her with worried eyes.

He said jittery, "I'm sorry. I don't know what I am thinking. I am just so tired of being alone and I just thought…" He hesitated before dropping his arms to his side. He turned away from her and ran a hand through his ebony hair. He stepped away then turned back around as he grabbed his hair with both of his hair squeezing a chunk of it. He covered his mouth with one hand then dropped it. He looked at Serena and said, "I don't know what is wrong with me. I am not myself today. I don't want to be alone anymore. I'm tired of being alone."

Serena said angrily, "So what? You thought you could trap me by knocking me up, tying me to you forever. I may be young Darien or whoever you are but I am not stupid!" She pushed his away from him. She then walked into the bedroom slamming the door behind her.

He chased after her and followed her inside. He saw her quickly placing on her panties and pants from last night.

He said frantically, "Stop Serena! Stop!"

Serena said ignoring him as she slipped on her shoes, "Why so you can tell me more lies?" Once she grabbed her jacket, she rushed past him and said harshly, "You knew you weren't going to tell me the truth when you brought me here in the first place. You just brought me to here to fuck me so you can forget about your dead ex-girlfriend." He followed her out. She was halfway to the front door when she felt Darien grabbed her arm roughly and spun her arm towards him. Her eyes narrowed as she said angrily, "Let me go!"

Darien said angrily, "No. You want the truth. I will tell you the truth." He pulled her towards the sofa and pushed her down until she fell backwards sitting down. She watched him with suspicious eyes as he sat down in the love seat next to her.

They stared into each other's blues eyes. She was angry as her chest heaved up and down while his facial expression turned emotionless.

Darien said, "I lost my memory when I was six-years-old. Everything before that is a blank. I don't know who I am. I don't know what my real name is. Do I have any brothers or sisters or a mother or father? My earliest memory is being locked in a dungeon. I remembered being tortured and beaten daily by this man called The Magician. He kidnaped, raped, and murdered children in the South Louisiana and Texas area."

Serena gasped as she covered her mouth then asked, "Did he…"

Darien nodded then spoke in an aloof voice. "He said I was his favorite because I made him feel good and I did not scream like the others. The first time he touched me I was six-years-old. I am not going go into details about what he did to me because it makes me regurgitate to remember it but he sexually abused me for years. He treated me differently than the other children. He became everything to me. He was my family and my friend and as sick as it sounded I loved him like a father. I would do anything to make him happy and not angry at me even when he had us perform kiddie porn and placed it on the internet."

Serena grasped. Darien became emotional as he continued, "We did not know what we were doing. I just wanted to make him happy, but for the others, they did not want to get hurt or did not want them to hurt their families like he threaten that he would if they were not good little girls and boys."

Serena asked, "How did he get the children?"

Darien said, "He dressed like a magician like Tuxedo Mask. He looked like a good guy and he amazed the children with his unbelievable magic tricks. He used his magic tricks to lure them out of plain sight. At first they were skeptical and did not trust him even with his magic tricks so sometimes he used me as a backup plan. Because when they saw me, another kid, they figured they could trust him and that's when he got them."

"After he kidnapped his victims sometimes with my help, he soon began to trust me enough not to lock me up in the dungeon with all the other children. He would let me go out at night because he knew I would always return home." Serena's eyes widen when a red rose magically appeared in Darien's hand. He twirled it around with his fingers as he stared at it indifferently. "He soon began to trust me enough to send me out at night to leave a red rose on the doorsteps of the victims' homes. As long as The Magician was satisfied with the children and entertained, they lived. Once he became bore with the children and they no longer entertained him, he killed them and sent their dismembered body parts home to their families in garbage bags."

Serena had to stop herself from regurgitating as she covered her mouth. She asked weakly, "Did you…"

Darien shook his head, "I only helped lure the reluctant children to him and I left the red roses on the doorsteps but I never participated in the killing of the other children."

Serena asked, "How did you survive? Did you escape?"

Darien said, "Not exactly. Like I said, he trusted me so I knew all the ways to escape from the house where he kept us. I was nine-years-old when I escaped. I loved him very much but I noticed that I was getting too old to maintain his interest. He preferred younger boys who feared him. I was no longer afraid of him and accepted everything he told me to do when he wanted to have sex with me. I became jealous at the way he treated his new victims. Then something happened and he became scared. It was a mistake that he made when trying to get his last victim. So he ended up blinding folding us and putting up in the back of a moving van. He disguised himself as a delivery truck driver and drove us across state lines until we ended up in Texas. He was successful for a few weeks with kidnapping the children then the FBI were warming up to his trail so he left again and killed off some of the children that became too noisy to him. We pulled on side of the road and we were in a desert. Wolves magically appeared and devoured the children. That is when I realized that The Magician may not have been human. I became so freaked out that I tried to run away. The magician chased after me into the middle of the road. I then saw these to bright lights and then everything faded black. I woke up in a hospital bed in San Francisco. A little boy named Darien Shields was in a car accident with his parents… some American billionaire father and Japanese mother… and ended up going over a cliff. He miraculously survived the accident but died in the hospital.

He took us to some abandon home and locked us in a dark cellar. He never came back but we did not realize that he was gone. He instilled fear in us so well that we would not there leave in fear of what he would do if he found us. There were seven up us left. Five boys and two girls. Two boys died from starvation. It was after a week that we realized that the Magician had abandoned us. I found it kind of funny that I had been with the Magician for over three years and never really interacted or saw the other children until that moment. One of the children was Charisma. She was one of the last children he kidnapped from Louisiana before he escaped to Texas. She had been under his captivity for only two months and she like the rest of us was skinny as a beanpole from hardly eating. Sometimes the Magician would not kill his victims. He just let them starved to death. During that time was the first time I interacted with Charisma. She told me that she wanted to go back home and be with her mother in New Orleans. She asked me what my name was. When I told her that I did not have a name, she looked at me like I was a freak of nature so I thought back to that moment and said it was Darien Shields since he was not going to use it anytime soon."

Serena looked unimpressed with that statement. He quickly continued on. "Anyway, I was the one who got them out. I do not know how but it was like this voice was telling me where to go. We wandered the streets of San Francisco for days sleeping on park benches and under bridges and eating scraps of whatever we could find. Sometimes we were so hungry that we ate out of garbage cans. It did not take long for the police to finally find us and take us to the police station. We were put in the system. Two of the boys and the other girl were eventually sent back home to their respective homes in Texas and Louisiana. It was a big deal and all over the news. However, they could not identify me or Charisma. I was not in the system and it was as if I never existed. I was not even on the list of suspected victims of the Magician. So they placed us in the foster care system for the next six years where we were bounced from one foster home to the next. Charisma and I somehow managed to keep in touch over the years. I was twelve years old when I decided that I hated the foster care system. One of foster mother, Mrs. Baker took a special interest in me. She lived in a nice neighborhood in a two-storied home and had a good husband would was a big shot investment banker and two biological children. She was very religious and thought it was her Christian duty to take care of me. She was perfect in everyone's eyes and everyone adored her even me. For the first time, I felt like I was part of a family with a real brother and sister and loved her and her husband like they were my real parents. Then, one weekend while her husband and kids were out of town visiting their grandparents, she raped me. She told me that if I did not have sex with her then I would go back into the foster care system where no one wanted a trouble making fuck up like me and no one would believe that she was capable of something like that. This went on for three months until her husband ended up beating her to a pulp one night and then the police came and told me I had to leave. They never told me why. I always assumed that her husband found out because the night I left he looked at me with remorseful eyes. I never saw that family again and I ended up being bounce back and forth from foster home to foster home where the foster parents were very mentally and physically abusive and only did it for the money. By age thirteen, I ran away from the system and lived on the streets avoiding the cops or pigs as we called them and any other so-called authority figure like the plague. I did whatever I had to short of selling drugs to survive. I saw too many of my street friends depending on drugs and alcohol to deal with the loneliness of being alone in the world and their outcomes were never good. Some of them lost their minds and now wandered the streets without purpose. Others died and some committed suicide to stop the pain."

He looked at her and said, "I lived in homeless shelters, slept on park benches, ate out of garbage cans and sometimes stole food to survive. I only took what I needed to survive no more or no less. Sometimes I even performed tricks when I was desperate enough. Most of my clients were women but occasionally I slept with men also."

Serena looked stunned and was quiet for a moment. Darien simply stared at her as she processed all that he told her.

After five minutes of silence, Serena finally asked, "So are you…"

Darien interrupted, "I wanted to lie to you and tell you I am one hundred percent straight but I cannot." He ran his hand through his hair and said absentmindedly, "I am so fucked up from what The Magician did to me that I don't know what I feel. I don't even trust women from what Mrs. Baker and Elena did to me."

Serena interrupted confused, "What do you mean Elena? Do you mean my Aunt Elena?"

Darien looked nervous then said hyperventilating, "Fuck what is wrong with me? I wasn't supposed to say that."

Serena covered her mouth then said, "Oh my God. That is sick. Are you two lovers? Are you still sleeping together?"

Darien quickly said, "No, it was last year. She was brainwashing me into sleeping with her."

Serena said, "Brainwashing?"

Darien said, "Fuck! I did not remember until Charisma came over to me and showed me what she did to me."

Serena said stunned, "Oh my god, we had unprotected sex. You came in me."

Serena jumped up.

Darien asked, "Serena?"

Serena said, "Darien, are you gay or not?"

Darien said, "I don't know!"

Serena yelled at him then said, "Yes or no!"

Darien said, "I don't know. Am I attracted to men? Yes. Do I want to have sex with them? No. I prefer women. I love women. I haven't had sex with a man since I was thirteen-years-old. I don't know what my true sexuality is because that was taken away from me Serena. I was molested by my kidnapper when I was six-years-old until I was nine. I was raped by my foster mother that I loved like a mother when I was twelve-years-old. I performed tricks on men and women not because I liked sex but because I was starving and I needed the money because most places do not hired little kids to work. So whether I am straight, bisexual or a queer I do not know. I don't know what my name is, who I am, where I come from, or my true sexuality. I have no sexually transmitted diseases and I have the paperwork in the desk drawer that you got the condoms out of to prove it. I have been getting tested every six weeks and I never have unprotected sex. You were the first girl I ever did that with." Serena watched as he walked in his bedroom and came out with a pink paper. He handed it to her. As she looked at it, she saw it was dated after his birthday this year. He was clean of all sexually transmitted diseases. He was telling the truth. She looked up at him as he continued placing his hands on her shoulders. "All I know for certain is that I have never felt as strongly about any woman or man as I feel when I was with you. Every time I was inside you I felt safe and at home. You have no idea how much pleasure I got for releasing myself into the warmth of your love and imagining for the first time in my life how beautiful our children would be if you were pregnant with my child. I am so head over heels in love with you Serena Tuskino that sometimes I feel like I cannot for the fear that if I do, then you will disappear from my life. I am in love with you Serena and last night and this morning was very special to me. I have never been this happy before in my entire life. And if you walk out of that door, because you don't think I am man enough for you, I will totally understand. But I do love you Serena, and I know you think that I am lying to you about how I feel but I will prove myself to you if you allow me to, princess."

Serena simply stared at Darien looking into his dark blue eyes that were filled with love for her. Serena asked softly, "You love me?"

Darien smiled and nodded, "I do…I wish we were old enough to get marry so I could make you my wife."

Serena said, "I want to believe you…Darien…"

Darien half smiled then said, "I know…"

Darien still in his moment and groaned. He looked down to find her caressing his crotch through his pants. He closed his eyes and she caressed the penis that was now a large bulge in his pants.

Serena smirked then said arching her eyebrow, "Well, at least I know you are not lying about your attraction to me. You still fancy girls."

Darien said, "No, I don't fancy girls. I fancy only you…"

Serena started to back away seductively and said as she started to back away from his as she slowly unbuttoned the buttons of his dress shirt. He started to be harder until he was standing at full attention.

Serena watched as his lustful eyes started to glow golden as she felt a force starting to pull her backwards towards the bedroom until she landed on her back on the bed. She gasped when she saw Darien on top of her.

Serena asked stunned, "What was that with your eyes?"

Darien said as she moaned as he pulled her underwear to the side and thrust inside of her tight warmth, "Fuck first, ask questions later…" Serena screamed in pleasure as Darien pounded roughly in her body as she felt an orgasm arising in the pit of her stomach. He closed his eyes and joined her as they came together as he screamed her name.

"Darien…." He heard Serena calling his name. He opened his eyes to see that they were still on the sofa in their clothes.

Serena shook her head and said confused as she diverted her eyes from him, "Darien, I don't know what to think. That's a lot to process…" She took a deep sigh as she looked into his worried dark blue eyes. She said, "Darien, I just need time to process all of this. I wasn't expecting that."

She stood up and walked towards the hallway running her hands through her golden locks in confusion. She then turned to him and said awkwardly, "I'm going to go get dressed so that we can pick up Sammy."

Darien asked emotionally, "What about breakfast?"

Serena gave a fake smile then said, "I'm not hungry anymore."

Darien became emotional then said, "So are we going to talk about this?"

Serena said distantly, "I need time, Darien. I need time to process this Darien?"

Darien bit out hurt and angry as his eyes became watery, "Don't string me along, Serena. Are we over because you think I'm a fucking faggot?"

Serena became emotional then bit out angrily as her eyes became watery then pointed at him, "Don't you dare judge me, Darien Shields. My life is fucked up. My parents are dead. I moved thousands of miles to a place I don't know where people treat me like crap. I have a woman who looks like me saying that she is my aunt. This really cute guy that I like was a complete asshole to me from probably the moment that we met. He lied to me about having a girlfriend who treats me like shit. Then he asked his ex-girlfriend who he is probably still in love with to babysit me and that bitch tried to kill my little brother." Serena screamed as tears ran down her cheeks, "The only family that I have left! The only normalcy that I have left in my pathetic, fucked up life. Now, I found out that the guy that I loved and lost my virginity to is more fucked up than I am, tried to impregnate me so that he would not be alone, fucks men which my religion is totally against, and the icing on the cake was that he fucked my aunt and tells me that after he took away my innocence. So fuck you!" Darien stood up as an emotional Serena collapsed to her ground and broke down. Darien rushed over to her. He slowly touched her. She screamed as he fought him away from her, "Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"

He wrapped his arms around her tightly as she fought and slapped him yelling for him not to touch her as they both cried. He held her in his arms taking her blows until she became tired and cried on her chest as he held her in his arms. He rested his head on top of hers as tears rolled nonstop on his cheeks.

He said remorseful, "I am so sorry, Serena. I am so sorry that I am not the man that we wanted me to be."

Elena waved as the crowd and the auditorium erupted in applauses and cheers as she entered the stadium with Mason closely behind her sporting dark shades and playing the role of the bodyguard.

Elena said through her smiling white teeth, "It's so great to be loved."

Mason said, "Yeah, that you are compelling them to love you." Elena quickly turned and smiled wickedly at him.

Elena said, "You know I could easily kill you or compel you to love me…"

Mason said sarcastically, "Yeah, I think you would be doing me a favor than listening to 'I Love Elena' fifty million times or "C'est Vie" by Mina. How vain must you to be to write a song about yourself."

Elena laughed then said, "Women of our family are not known for their modesty."

Mina's worried expression turned into a smirk as she removed the hood of the hooded man to reveal a gorgeous face of a young man in his early to mid-twenties sporting a short blonde buzz cut, and a neatly shaved five o' clock shadow with piercing green eyes. He was about six feet-one with a strong muscular physique.

Mina said, "You know where my loyalty lies, Zack?"

Zack said, "Ah, my earth names you called me, Minako…"

Mina said, "I prefer Mina…"

Zack said pinching her cheek as she playfully slapped his hand away, "Well, when I found you as a baby, you were Minako and that is what you should remain to me, little brat…"

Mina pouted.

Zack asked, "So where's Mommy Dearest?"

Mina said, "Downstairs compelling more people to like her."

Zack said, "This is her safety zone in the world. I have control of most of North and South America. Most of the humans there are under my control and once the eclipse comes then that will trigger their awakening. Elena has awakened most of the Lunarians in Europe and Asia. Yet, it is pointless since the Earthlings outnumber the Lunarians."

Mina asked, "What do you mean?"

Zack said, "Lunarians had long lives. It took them one hundred years just to age one earth year. You were seventeen hundred years old when you died in your former life. The Lunarians hardly procreated and so there roughly ten thousand Lunarians at the time of the attack of the Moon Kingdom. There are over seven billion people on this planet compared to ten thousand people who are Lunarians. Now, maybe if you include their bloodlines for over a hundred years since Lunarians landed in different decades that might multiple to maybe thirty thousand but she cannot win."

Mina asked, "But my mother always wins."

Zack said, "The only way Elena stands a fighting chance is to brainwash Earthlings into thinking that they are Lunarian."

Mina asked, "And how can she do that?"

Zack said, "Well, the Lunarians were once mortals like the Earthlings. Your great-great grandmother Serenity I used the power of the silver crystal to make them immortal and bless them with long life so that she would not be alone in the world."

Mina asked, "But where is the silver crystal? Since we have not seen it since Princess Serenity destroyed the Negaverse."

Zack smiled then said, "But the only person who knows lives right under Elena's roof."

Mina sighed then said, "So that explains her so-called desire to find her long lost niece…"

Mina asked, "And where does Darien fit in since the real Darien Shields is dead?"

Zack smiled then said turning his back on Mina and walking up the stairs to the picture window, "He fits in perfectly."

Mina asked perplexed, "I am confused. Darien is Princess Serenity's soul mate. How can he fit perfectly when he stole a dead guy's identity?"

Zack turned back to Mina and said, "Mina, Darien is not Princess Serenity's soul mate. Prince Endyimon is. Ideally, Darien was supposed to be the reincarnation of Prince Endyimon but since he died as a little boy, Prince Endyimon's spirit left his body. He has been in limbo for the last eight years in the Shadow plane, a realm between the world of the living and the world of the dead. It is like living in a nightmare of your previous life and you have to battle strange monsters to survive. If you die there, you go straight to the realm of the dead and could never return to the world of the living. Prince Endyimon has been there for over eight years. I could bring him in this world…"

Mina said, "And so can Elena…"

Zack nodded then said, "Any god or goddess can. However, being in that shadow realm changes you. If I were to bring back Prince Endyimon and reincarnate him into fake Darien's body, we don't know who he would come back as."

Mina said, "And this is what scares my mom."

Zack nodded, "Darien may be a little more than an average human but Prince Endyimon is the protector of the Earth and possesses the powers of this world including the golden crystal. Endyimon cannot be compelled by Elena because the royal family of the Earth was blessed with the powers of the gods with the exception of long life like the Lunarians have. We might cause more damage than good by bringing him back from the shadow realm."

Mina asked, "What are the Earth's chances of survival without him with solar eclipse coming?"

Zack said, "Zilch…"

Mina asked, "And what are the chances of the Earth survival with Prince Endyimon back?"

Zack said, "A little more than zilch. The Earth will have a chance."

Mina said, "Then bring back Endyimon."

Zack asked, "And what if fake Darien does not want to be the reincarnation of the dead Earth prince's body?"

Mina said, "Then maybe he should not be stealing dead's people identity."

Zack smirked then said, "Well, if I am going to bring back the ghost of a dead earth prince, I might as well take Sailor Venus with me for backup."

Mina shook her head and said, "No way am I going to some ghost realm."

Mina jumped when she found Zack's arms wrapped around her. He whispered in her ear, "I did not ask, little one." A dark aura surrounded them as they disappeared.
