Chapter Eight
At Darien's apartment Serena and the others entered the room there was Darien holding Starlight's hand he had connected himself to her in order to save her life.
Serena and Seiya slowly approached with Taiki and Yaten close behind, behind them were Amara and the others.
"Darien is she going to be alright?" Serena asked walking up beside him.
"I don't know Serena." He spoke low to her. Trista approached the bed side.
"This had only known to work on blood related people, Darien is really taking a risk right now if she's not blood related his own body could start to fail." Trista said looking away.
Seiya looked at Darien and wondered why he would do such a thing with out knowing the facts about this person.
"She's a sailor soldier that's why she saved Serena it was the least I could do." Darien said looking straight at Seiya. Seiya wondered how he knew what he was thinking.
Later that night after everyone went home except Seiya Darien was still up watching over Starlight waiting for her to stabilize while connected to him but still no luck.
("This means there is no blood relation to the two of us.") He thought to himself. ("She should have stabilized by now.") He thought to himself again while bringing her hand up to his forehead wondering if there was anything else he could do he knew he couldn't stay connected to Starlight much longer with out putting his own life at risk. Seiya came over and sat on the other side of the bed and looked at Starlight then at Darien he was troubled she wasn't getting better from the look of things.
"It's not working is it?" He quietly spoke breaking Darien out of his thoughts.
"No it's not which means this girl isn't who we all think her to be." Darien said lowering his head.
"You all thought that she was your daughter from the future didn't you?" Seiya said watching Darien look at him.
"Now the question is who is she if she's not mine and Serena's daughter and why does she look exactly like Serena if she's not related?" Darien said looking at Starlight.
Just then Starlight opened her eyes and gasped for air Darien let go right away.
"Starlight, are you alright?" Seiya asked. They both saw she was still struggling to breath. Starlight looked at them both then tried to speak.
"I'll be fine…" She said with a raspy voice then closed her eyes.
Darien and Seiya fell asleep morning came and the light awoke Darien while Seiya still slept on the sofa. Darien walked over to Starlight and looked her over.
Trista, Amara, Michelle and Hotaru walked through the door as he was doing this.
"I thought you four would be here soon." He said looking at them as they walked up to the bed side.
"So I see it worked." Amara said smugly.
"She came through on her own I had nothing to do with it." He said causing them all to look at him.
"Then she isn't your blood." Trista said.
"Then why does she look so much like Serena if she's not related?" Amara spouted out.
At this Seiya woke up but did not let them know he was awake it was at this point that Starlight started to stir she opened her eyes and looked at all around her.
"Please explain to us who you are… I think its time you told us." Darien said to her in a calm gentile voice. Starlight tried to sit up she then looked around once more.
"I…" She stalled for a moment.
"Tell us who your parents are right now." Amara demanded to know.
"To tell you the truth… I don't know who my parents are." She said with a sad voice.
"What do you mean you don't know who your parents are?" Trista asked in disbelief.
"My queen told me that I was born of a shooting star and that is why I was given the name Starlight she said I was the light of the stars." Starlight spoke.
"You're telling us that your mother isn't Neo queen Serenity." Michelle spoke out.
All were in shock and were all looking at one another.
"The queen told me that I must not find out who they are…. Even if I wish to know, for now I will obey my queen's wishes." Starlight said looking away.
"Who sent you here?" Darien asked.
"The queen herself she told me to save some one but to be honest I'm not sure who this person is so I have vowed to protect you all form harm." Starlight said closing her eyes. "I was trained for this mission all my life I will not fail." Starlight said.
"Why are you doing all this?" Hotaru asked.
"Because my Queen has asked this of me she has given me more than what anyone will ever know she has given the gift of love and compassion to me that I never had growing up. She chose me for this mission and that is an honor on its own." Starlight said trying to get up out the bed she was in.
"Stay lying down you might reopen your wound." Trista said holding her down in the bed. Starlight gave up the fight and laid back letting out a sigh.
Through out the day Starlight fell in and out of sleep no one was going any where Seiya didn't trust Starlight in there care one bit and the others didn't trust him being there either.
"Tell me Seiya why are you so concerned about Starlight?" Darien asked with wonder.
"Don't you have work to do at the studio?" Amara asked wanting him to leave.
"No I don't have anything to do right now at the studio so I'm free as a bird and as for the other question I don't know why I'm concerned for her to be honest with you." He said answering both Amara and Darien's questions.
It was getting late the sun was going down Hotaru walked over to Starlight and just stared at her.
"Hotaru what is it?" Trista asked while the others were focused on other things.
"What she said earlier was the truth…." Hotaru said closing her eyes then opened them.
"Hotaru?" Trista acquired her. Hotaru gasped lightly.
"Something is happening…" She said, it was at that moment Starlight opened her eyes and sat up in an almost panic.
"Sailor moon!!!" She yelled causing everyone to look and run to her side.
"Starlight calm down…. What is it?" Darien asked her making her look at him.
"She's in trouble." Michelle turned and went for her communicator there was no answer on anyone's end.
"She's right we have to go now…" Michelle said calmly.
They all looked at one another and went to leave when they noticed Starlight was getting out of bed.
"No! You can't you need to stay here and rest we will take care of this." Amara said to her.
"You don't understand I need to do this." Starlight said getting out of the bed her wound was almost completely healed. "I'm going with you weather you like it or not." She said with a demanding tone.
They all agreed and transformed then headed in the direction where the others were fighting.
