Chapter Thirty

A Family Divided

Hello everyone! Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter. Here's the next chapter of Ever After.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.

For three days, Darien stayed locked up in the room with Karen. He had the enchanter preserve her body, even though the enchanter informed him that her soul had left the body. It was simply an empty vessel now. He could not bring back the dead.

Karen lied on the bed in an eternal sleep. She was dressed in a white gown. Her eyes were closed and her hands clasped together on her stomach. Her skin no longer glowed and looked dull. Her rose cheeks were pale and colorless. Her long fiery red hair lacked its shine and luster. Her soft lips now pale. The enchanter only slowed down the death process.

Darien pushed himself up to his feet as he slowly walked over to her body. He touched her arm that was cold as the room. He said softly, "I loved you, Karen. I was in love with you." He gently stroked her hair that now felt dry and rough. He leaned down and kissed her lips that were cold and stiff. He leaned away from her.

Darien smiled and said, "I wish I could bring you back, but I know you hated the humanoids. It'll be a cruel punishment for you."

Darien said, "Good-bye my love."

Out of the shadows of the room, their friends and family stood. Andrew stood next to Lita. Mina stood next to Jason. Ami stood next to Eddie. Josh, Rini, and Katie stood next to Darien. Derrick stayed locked up in his room.

Darien looked around for Derrick. "Where's Derrick?"

"Upset that you blamed him for his mother's death," Rini thought cynically. She became scared when she saw her father looking down at her with livid eyes. He heard her thoughts and Rini gulped. She was not used to this version of her father, where he was mean, angry and cold. He was treating them as bad as he used to treat Derrick and Karen, who had only been dead for three days. Rini hoped her future would not be as miserable with her father.

Derrick sat in his room dressed in a dark suit with a white dress shirt and black tie just like he did at his dad's funeral. He sat on the window seat of the window with his right leg stretched out and his other leg bent with his arm resting on his knee. His was staring out to the window on the bright sunny day. He smiled sadly as he looked out of the window at the tall willow tree standing alone in the middle of the lawn and remembered his mother playing alone with him for an entire day, just the two of them. She was dressed in a white sundress with her long red hair brushed back in a ponytail. His dad was not home and they were having a blast playing in the backyard and collecting butterflies. The sun set and they spent the day under the tree as she gave him a bear hug as she read him a fantasy story that aroused his imagination. Then, he saw his father standing in the doorway dressed in a three piece suit. His father had a tight frown on his face as he tapped his foot impatiently and pointed to his watch. His mother's eyes lit up. Derrick became jealous of his father for taking his mother away from him. His mother kissed his ebony hair and then got up and raced over to his father. She faded away along with the memory.

"You hate me that much."

Derrick jumped and turned to see his father standing in the middle of his room dressed in a dark suit. His eyes were hard and his mouth tight. Derrick glanced around his room that looked a mess. Toys were scattered across the floor. His bed was unmade and his dirty clothes were piled on the floor next to the laundry basket. He did not normally keep a messy room but he was upset about his mother's death and did not feel the desire to clean up. He knew that his father had read his thoughts. He diverted his eyes away from his father afraid to see the hatred in his eyes for him.

"You've never like me." Derrick remained silent. Darien walked towards him. "And now you hate me because I took her away from you. I loved her in a way that you could never love her."

Derrick answered quietly, "We were happy together."

Darien smirked. "You were never enough, Derrick." Derrick looked stunned at his father. "You were her son and she loved you like a mother is supposed to love her child. You loved her because she was the first woman to make you happy. That's how it is for all sons and their mothers. There's nothing wrong with what you feel, but a woman needs someone to make her happy, to complete her and once you grow up and become a man and fall in love, you are going to understand what I mean."

Derrick retorted, "You made her miserable. You hurt her, and I hate that." Derrick's eyes started with tears. "I didn't get to see her that much. You were always together. Then, Sarah and Rini came along and I hardly had time to spend with her. For eight years of my life, it was just the two of us. Yes, my dad Peter was there, but I always knew that I was the most important person to her. Then, you came and you took her away from me. You took the time that I could have had with her with your stupid parties and getting drunk all the time and the women and breaking things."

Darien now remained silent. Derrick cried out angrily as hot tears dripped from his eyes, "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you."

Darien still remained silent. Derrick yelled, "You took her away from me, and I will never get her back. I am a child. You can't expect me to be a man. It was too much. Would it have been better if I would have stayed and let Andrew die?" He paused. Derrick then looked at his father and asked quietly, "Or would it have been better if I died and she lived? Because you don't love me."

Darien said, "Derrick-"

Derrick yelled, "You always hated me." Derrick's eyes turned golden. A wind formed and swirled around the room as Darien stood still and unfazed. "You hated me ever since the day that my real dad died in the hospital. You blamed me for ending your marriage to your ex-wife. You blamed me for you abandoning your family. You love Rini and Katie. Katie is your favorite. You don't love me! The only person who did love me is dead."

Everything besides the furniture in the room spun around them into a large tornado. Derrick yelled out letting out everything he felt about my father. "It's not my fault that your marriage ended. It's your fault. You're crazy and psychotic. You're an alcoholic, a drunk. You cheated on both of them. You made my mother miserable just like Serena made you miserable. But she still loved you."

Darien asked, "Who told you that?"

"Rini told me."

Darien held up his hand overpowering his son's power as everything fell to the floor. Derrick's eyes returned to normal. Darien looked at the little boy who was a childhood version of him. Derrick lost his mother three days ago. Now, he was the only person this little boy had left. He said, "You're wrong Derrick. I don't hate you. I love you very much. I love you so much that it hurts. I always wanted you before I knew you existed. I love my girls, but there is nothing like having a son. I love you, but I don't know how to."

Derrick became silent. "I lost my parents when I was eight and I spent the next ten years of my life alone in the world thinking that nobody wanted me. That nobody loved me. Then, I met Serena and for a long time she became my everything. I loved her so much and so deeply that it consumed me. She was like the oxygen I needed to breathe. We loved each other as much as we hated one another. She brought me back to life. And when I felt that I could not please her anymore, it killed me inside. I loved her and I did not want to let her go. But sometimes that is the best thing to do. So I left and I started a new life with you and your mother and I still missed Serena even though she made me miserable and I missed my little girls too, who look exactly like their mother. I met your mother and she healed me. She tamed the beast inside me, and I loved her. I am so sorry that I have not been a good father to you. I make mistakes. It wasn't your fault that she died. You did the right thing by saving Andrew's life. That was the choice she would have wanted to you to make and for that I am very proud of you." Derrick remained silent.

Darien said slowly walked towards his son, "You're all I have left of her. I don't remember my father so I am winging this dad thing, but I am going to try to be a good father to you. I am going to try to be the man that you deserve as a father."

Darien held out his hand. "Let's go say good-bye to your mother. She's waiting." Derrick stared at his father. His father loved him and was proud of him. It was the first time he ever told him those things.

Derrick nodded and took Darien's hand. Darien smiled. They disappeared together. Sarah smiled as she leaned against Derrick's locked door from the hallway. She snuck off to go find him and tried to convince him to leave his room. She was happy that he was back on good terms with his father.

Derrick stood next to his father as his father used his powers and his mother's body faded away as she turned to ashes. The windows opened. Her essence floated into the sky to join the heavens and eternal peace.

A few days after, Darien surprised Andrew and Lita on a Sunday morning. He invited a priest over who still practiced their faith secretly. Everyone was dressed up as they stood in a circle and watched in the living room as the priest blessed the child. Lita stood in front of the priest holding baby Zayden dressed in a white christening gown with Mina standing next to Lita and Darien standing next to Andrew. When the priest finished his prayer and Mina and Darien became Zayden's godparents, they performed the Catholic sign of the cross. They all used their right hand and touched their foreheads then their hearts. They crossed over their left shoulder then their right while reciting the words, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."

Andrew and Lita happily thanked Darien. Darien joked, "Think of it as very late wedding gift." They laughed at him. Grumpy, old Darien was surprised to admit to himself that he enjoyed the liveliness of his home. Now, he had Lita and Andrew staying with him since they were exposed by the government along with their children Sarah, Zayden, and Josh. Ami and Eddie was staying for a while since Lita immediately warned Ami about what she learnt from Rita and Nick about Dragon's sick plans for them. Mina, Jason, and Ariel were still there. Mina was still unaware that they had Patricia tied up in the basement. Jason and Ariel lied that she returned to London. Then he had Marissa and the chauffeur Tony living comfortably in the servants' quarters.

Lita hated feeling like a burden so she helped Marissa with the cooking and the chores. Marissa was anything but modest and enjoyed having the extra help. Every night at dinner was a full table and Darien even had Tony and Marissa joined them. He raised a glass as he sat at the head of the table with his friends and family surrounding him and toasted to family and friendship. The seat at the other end of the table always remained empty.

Josh and Derrick shared a room and Derrick really enjoyed having a guy friend his age to play with. He was tired of pink and girls. The girls frowned when Derrick and Josh placed a sign on Derrick's room reading BOYS ONLY. Sarah shared a bed with Rini and it was girls' night all the time in Rini and Katie's room. They also placed a sign on the door that read NO BOYS ALLOWED. They played dressed up and had imaginary tea parties with their stuffed animals. Rini enjoyed playing with Troy. She brought it with her from when they moved away from Tokyo. Every night she kissed the picture of her mother next to her nightstand good-night.

Mina and Jason acted like two lovebirds. Ami and Lita helped Mina with planning the wedding. Andrew had yet to tell Lita what happened to Serena or Raye. He could not bear to see the devastation on her face to know that she lost not only one but both of her friends. For at least one moment, he wanted her to be happy and do something normal like christen their child or plan her best friend's wedding.

Darien noticed the way Ariel kept her happy façade. She was a great actress and very believable. But there was no way in the world, she was fine that quickly after learning that she was lied to her entire life and that her sister was really her mother and her mother was really a grandmother. She pretended that she over Jason, but Darien and Andrew noticed the lustful look she had in her eyes for Jason when she thought that no one was looking. Jason was in trouble and did not even realize it. If he did, he kept up a hell of a poker face.

Speaking of a poker face, Jason constantly kicked the guys' butts in their nightly game of poker. Andrew and Darien always ended up folding as Jason and Eddie high fived one another. They drank beer and watched sports and they got it unlike Serena, Karen, his daughters and even his son sometimes who all looked uninterested by it. Darien enjoyed the guys being there. It was like having a guys' night every night, well most nights at least before they went back to beds to their girlfriends and wives while Darien slept in his bed alone wishing Karen was there. Sometimes he imagined her there next to him as she would listen cuddled up next to him as he told her about his day. He knew all her responses and the imaginary Karen responded to each question the way he thought she would. She laughed at his jokes and kissed his lips. Then, he would hear a noise whether it was the sound of the wind blowing outside or someone's footsteps outside of his room. She would disappear and he would remember she was dead. He cried himself to sleep in the darkness of his bedroom.

When he left the barriers of the estate and mingled with their Elite friends, he told everyone that Karen left him for another man. After his wife's death, he became extremely paranoid about people outside his inner circle. He did not know who to trust and people were being reborn every day. There was a time when humans stayed separated from humanoids now they intermingled together. Family members and friends accepted their reborn loved ones. A part of Darien, the selfish part, wanted Karen to be reborn, but he knew that she would never be the same. It was a reborn that killed Karen, and a part of him knew the humanoids could not be trusted even if everyone else in the world did.

Serena paced back and forth around the cliff. It's been a week and she had not seen or heard from anyone or anything. She was starving and was brought food everyday like fruits, cheeses, and wine, but there was no way she was going to touch it. She feared it would poison her.

What frightened her was the most was the creature that delivered her food every day. It was a forest green dragon with crocodile skin and large black marbles for eyes. Its nostrils looked like two black bowling balls. Its length was about the size of a high school football field and its long spiky tail was about twenty feet long. It was one of Dragon's pet dragons. She knew this because she had seen a few of them fly around in the horizon in the red, scorched sky of hell. She knew this one was the same because he had burnt mark on the tip of its nose that left a black spot there.

Serena thought of something extremely crazy. Maybe it was the hundred degree burning temperatures that drove her mad or how sticky her dress was starting to become, as her body perspired all over and her short brown hair clung to her skin. She felt feverish and weak from hunger and dehydration. She looked down again at the bottomless pit of nothing but red mist. She had no idea what was down there, but she was tired of waiting for the near future to come on a cliff.

Serena glanced at the dragon with a crazy look in her eyes. She kicked off her heels. She ran to the inside of the cliff towards the bed for a running start and then turned around and raced as fast as she could. She leaped off of the edge of the cliff as the dragon growled. Her hands and legs spread eagle as she fell through the hot red mist of the bottomless pit as she continued falling for what seemed like forever. Her speed increased as she lost consciousness from the fall. Everything went black.

Serena was surrounded by darkness until she saw yellowish orange dots breaking through the darkness. Her eyes slowly cracked opened and a strong light blinded her. She moaned feeling the stiffness of her body. She slowly lifted up a hand to shield her eyes. Her blurry vision readjusted and she saw it was the sun blinding her. The sun's rays shined down on the earth and warmed her skin causing her to sigh in relief. She could hear the sound of the ocean close to her. She felt she was lying on something soft. She groaned as she slowly rose to a sitting position. She could hear the cracking of her stiff muscles. She grabbed the softness and watched as the white sand slipped through her fingers. She felt something cold chilling her toes and looked down to see that it was the waves of the ocean brushing against her toes. She ran her hands through her hair and was surprised to see it was long again. Her eyes widen when she felt and saw her long golden hair running through her fingers. She quickly bent forward and looked at her reflection the water. She looked like her old self. She was Serena again. She was dressed in a blue knee-length halter top summer dress. She looked around and saw that she was on a beach surrounded by white cliffs in the distance. The only other people she saw on the beach were two teenagers having a water fight in the ocean. She fell back onto her back and began to laugh.

"Serena, come on! The food's getting cold." She stopped laughing when as she heard a familiar male voice behind her. She could hear the laughter of others behind her.

She sat up and turned around. She was surprised to see Darien standing off in the distance. He looked handsome as always dressed with dark sunglasses and clad in white t-shirt and blue swimming trunks. His feet were bare too. The wind blew his dark black locks and large white shirt. He had a spatula in his hand as she could smell the barbeque as smoke and steam came from the portable barbeque grill he was cooking on. Her stomach grumbled. A teenaged version of Darien appeared next to Darien with a plate in his hand. He was very handsome with a ripped physique. The young man stood next to Darien shirtless and in black swim trunks. His wet hair stuck to his head and clear water bead were all over his skin like he had just came out of the ocean. He had a plate in his hand.

Darien held his hands over his eyes and yelled, "Serenity and Katherine Shields, get your butts over here. The food is done."

Serena's eyes widen when she realized the two teenagers were her daughters. The two teenaged girls with long strawberry hair stopped splashing one another and raced out of the water. Serena smiled. She knew which one was Rini because she remembered how she looked when she transformed into Black Lady. She looked to be about eighteen. Her strawberry blonde hair was styled into two cone shaped odango styled pigtails that came to her thighs. Her red eyes were bright and happy. Her lips were red from her waterproof lipstick. Her neck was pale and elegant. Her body was tall, elegant and mature. She wore a pink halter top bikini that was too small for her large and supple breasts, her stomach was flat and tone, her hips wide in her yellow bottoms and her legs were long and fit. She was beautiful. The other girl had to be Katie. She was about sixteen-years-old. Her long strawberry blonde hair was brushed back and parted into a ponytail at the top and the bottom portion hung loosely to the small of her back. She was not as well developed at her sister but she was beautiful also with dreamy dark blue eyes like her father and a well-toned hour shaped figure clad in a light blue two piece bikini.

Serena migrated over to the wooden picnic table on top of the hill along with everyone else. The table was covered with a red and white plastic tablecloth and four table weights at the four edges of the table since the wind was starting to pick up. Serena sat down at the picnic table. She watched as they all had separate conversations with one another as Katie and Rini sat on one side together. Serena smiled at them as they had a silly argument over something petty. Serena jumped when a plate of barbeque chicken legs, baked beans, and potato salad was placed in front of her. "Here you go, mom."

She looked up to see it was Derrick looking up at her. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Happy 36th Birthday mom!" He sat down next to her with a plate in his hand loaded with barbeque, beans and potato salad.

Serena smiled and said, "Thank you sweetheart." She was eight years in the future.

"A little help!" Darien yelled frustrated as he had turned off the grill.

The girls said sheepishly and they both stood up together, "Sorry daddy."

Derrick shook his head and said cocky, "What a couple of airheads!" Serena smirked. He seemed more confident and sure of himself at the age of eighteen.

Katie and Darien came over carrying something. Rini carried a container with the potato salad. Katie carried a container with the baked beans and Darien carried over a large tray with the barbeque in it. Serena watched as they sat it on the table.

Darien walked over to her and surprised her with a soft kiss on the lips. He broke away from her and smiled. "Happy Birthday, baby. I love you." Serena looked up. His handsome face looked golden with the sun shining around him.

Serena's eyes lit up as she said, "I love you too."

Rini and Katie sat on opposite side of the table across from Derrick and Serena. Darien sat on the end by the girls.

They all held hands and closed their eyes as Darien blessed the food. They then dug in as Serena watched them and listened as they chattered loudly amongst them as she savored the taste of the delicious food. Her eyes met Darien's across the table. He smiled at her. She returned his smile. A calmness as peaceful as the crystal clear ocean that surrounded them washed over her and she knew she was happy in this life. She glanced at her finger and saw she was wearing a wedding band and so was he. Were they remarried now?

Katie held up a clenched fist to her mother's mouth across the table like it was a microphone. "So mom, how does it feel to be four years from forty?"

Serena's eyes widen in shocked then amusement. Darien dropped his napkin on the table in outraged. "Katie, that's totally uncalled for."

Rini put a clenched fist up to her father's mouth and asked mischievously, "How does it feel to be forty and old?"

Darien quickly replied, "How does it feel to be eighteen and carless?" Katie and Derrick snickered at their sister.

Rini pouted and said childishly, "Sorry, dad. I forgot how sensitive you are about your age."

Darien scoffed. "What a halfhearted apology!"

Derrick interjected. He turned to Serena. "Mom, you're beautiful!"

Serena smiled. "Thanks sweetheart."

Derrick turned to his father clearing his throat. "And, dad you're not that old." Derrick eyed the patch of gray at the top of Darien's head.

Darien looked at his giggling children in disbelief. "You children are horrible. It's your mother's birthday. Rini and Derrick, you two are going off to college in a few weeks .Derrick is going to Harvard. Rini is going to Yale. And you are acting like…"

Serena interjected, "Teenagers."

Rini, Katie, and Derrick burst into laughter as Darien looked completely flabbergasted. He sighed giving up on them. Serena smiled at him.

After thirty minutes into the meal, Derrick glanced at his watch. Rini checked her cell phone for the umpteenth time. Rini and Derrick's cell phones kept buzzing on the table with text messages. Derrick glanced at his father with sad eyes.

Darien frowned. "No."

Derrick pouted. He turned to Serena looking very sad like his father was denying him something he really wanted. Darien said outrageous, "I am your father and I say no."

Derrick sighed. "Dad, I am straight A student. I graduated valedictorian of my class…"

Rini corrected sipping her soda, "Co-valedictorian." Darien smirked. His son and daughter were little geniuses both going to college to study to become doctors like their dad. He was the proudest father in the crowd when his children were announced as co-valedictorians since they both had the highest averages in their class.

Derrick cut his eyes at his sister then quickly returned to his sad act with his father. "I don't get into trouble. I do all my chores and I am going to school as a man so that I can to become a great surgeon like my father, my role model."

Darien smiled. "You so full of it."

Derrick whined like a little kid and folded his arms. "This is totally not fair."

Darien rolled his eyes. He looked at all of his children. "Yes, spending time with your family is the worst thing in the world. This is the last summer that the all of us will be together like this. When you are older, you are going to understand why."

Katie said mischievously, "I guess you'll have to wait to have your fun with Sarah later."

Derrick looked stunned and quickly yelled, "Shut up, brat."

Darien looked shocked. "You better not be. You're both going off to college." Sarah was going to college too. She was unclear of what she was going to major in.

Derrick said, "Dad, I'm an adult now, and I know all about the birds and bees and we're using protection. I mean you and mom obviously started when mom was eighteen looking at Rini."

Darien turned red. "Get out of here and take your sisters. If I find out that your girlfriend is pregnant, you're dead." Derrick grinned as the children quickly got up before Darien changed his mind. They all kissed their parents good-bye and wished Serena a Happy Birthday. They tossed the trays in the garbage and laughed as they raced up the hills to Derrick's dark blue Porsche in the parking lot next to his father's sedan.

Derrick slipped on his shades as Rini hopped into the passenger seat buckling up her seatbelt. Katie hopped into the back. Derrick started the engine.

Rini asked, "And when are you going to tell dad that you no longer want to be a doctor?"

Derrick grinned devilishly, "Once he finished paying for undergraduate school." Rini laughed. He zoomed off.

Darien said disgusted at them, his hands propped on the table with head resting on them in deep thought, "I really despised them sometimes. What the hell was I thinking when I thought I wanted them?"

Serena laughed. "That you wanted a family, and now you have one."

Darien smiled at her. "With the woman I love."

Serena wanted to know about Karen. Why no one talked about her? So she decided to ruin the moment and asked playfully, "You mean Karen?"

Darien smile faded. He abruptly rose from the table. Serena grew confused as she watched Darien stroll along the white sandy beach with his head bowed. She tossed her food into the garbage and covered up the barbeque.

She raced after him calling out his name. She was not as young as she once was and was out of breath grabbing onto his arm.

Darien turned to her. His eyes hot with tears like he was crying. Serena parted her lips.

Darien said, "I know it's been eight years and I am happy with you. I am happy that I found out that you were alive and we worked things out, but I don't like you dismissing her like she was nothing. Like what I shared with her was nothing like Derrick was nothing….She died eight years ago last week."

Serena looked outraged not knowing what to say, "I-I'm sorry Darien…I didn't know…"

He scoffed. "It's been eight freaking years, Serena. I think the only person you give a damn about sometimes is yourself." He stormed off as she stood still. Karen was dead. She's been dead for eight years.

The ride home was silent and tense. Darien was still angry with her about Karen. As Darien sped along the highway in brand new hummer with the food and grill stuffed in the back, Serena gazed out the window and focused on the beautiful sunset in the horizon of the Los Angeles night skyline. The sky was a mixture of pink and purple and the ocean still glistened with murky blue water.

Serena followed Darien into the dark, empty house carrying the leftovers from the barbeque on the beach. Apparently, they had moved back to Los Angeles and lived in an exclusive mansion in Southern California. Darien was now the Chief of Staff at a prominent Los Angeles hospital. After they placed the food away in the refrigerator, they walked upstairs to the bedroom. After getting dressed for bed, Darien turned on his side with his muscular back facing her and went to sleep. He still preferred to sleep nude, which was driving Serena insane. Serena lied on her side with her arm folded underneath her head. Neither had spoken since they left the beach. Serena had a powerful urge to tell him that she was sorry. A part of her thought this life, this happiness, this second chance, was a mere dream. She didn't deserve him. She felt like he was a god and she was mere mortal. Her stomach tightened. She feared that if she closed her eyes, she would wake up to find Darien not there and this was only a wonderful dream. She slowly rolled over to him. She stared at him observing him profile. He was still a beautiful man. He still had a youthful appearance, especially when he smiled. Yet, he looked regal and wiser from being older. His body was ripped with bulging muscular arms, a rock hard sixth pack, and firm muscular thighs and buttocks. He had taken good care of his body. He was thirty-nine going on forty with energy and body of a man half his age. She still desired him. She felt a burning fire between her thighs as her body became sensitive and hot all over.

"I'm sorry." Darien turned his head to her. She continued, "That was a cheeky thing of me to say."

Darien rolled over in bed facing her and stared at her looking into her beautiful blue eyes. He softly stroked her face with his finger, still soft. She still was very beautiful and looked like a woman in her twenties. His heart pounded and his body ached for her. Sometimes he thought she was a beautiful dream and one day he was going to wake up and realized he imagined this whole life. He felt like he did not deserve her.

Darien spoke finally breaking his silence, "I want to make another baby with you. Do you think we are too old?"

Serena said surprised, "Why? Rini and Derrick are going off to college and Katie is sixteen. Are you sure you want to do that all over again?"

Darien sighed. "When Karen died, I found a pregnancy test in the trash crash. She was pregnant. I could have had another child. I like being a father. Is forty too old?"

Serena shook her head easing his insecurities about his age. Serena smirked. "We can try."

Darien's blue eyes gleamed with happiness at her words. He was no longer upset with her. Serena was surprised when Darien rolled over and pulled her underneath his body. Their blue eyes locked as she caressed his face with her hands. His stiff arousal brushed against her thighs. He descended his head and devoured her mouth as he kissed her with a hunger .She opened her mouth giving him better access. He slipped his tongue inside her mouth and setting her body on fire with his kiss. Serena moaned when Darien lifted her right leg and hooked it around her hips. His groin brushed against opening that was still tight. He continued to kiss her until her body relaxed and accepted him. Serena winced as she adjusted to his size that seemed bigger than she remembered. Serena held onto to him as Darien thrust fast and harder into her body. Serena lifted her hips to meet his thrusts and her body eagerly accepted his thrusts. She matched his rhythm and he pounded into her harder. Serena quickly locked her other leg around his lean hips. She arched her back as Darien slowed down and began to make slow, passionate love to her as he kissed the corners of her mouth and neck and shoulders. Serena moaned in pleasure. She slid her arms around his neck as he made love to her with soft, long thrusts. Serena arched her back enjoying Darien inside of her again. He descended his head as his hot mouth latched onto her breasts and licked each of her already stiff nipples inside of his mouth in a circular motion. She removed a hand from his neck as she lifted up her breast and fed it to him shoving into his mouth. She pushed him down on the bed as their eyes locked. He held her hips as she sat on top of him looking down at him with lustful and dark eyes that matched his own. She removed herself off of his long, stiff groin and then lowered herself back on him taking all of him in. Darien bit down on his bottom lip enjoying the feel of her tight walls squeezing him. He leaked a little inside of her about to cum on the spot. She fell forward on her arms kissing him passionately on the mouth as she rode him grinding her hips in a circular motion driving him wild. He could not take it anymore and quickly flipped her over in one smooth movement until he was back on top. He stabbed his groin deeper inside of her and cried out her name as he exploded inside of her impregnating her with seed.

Darien stopped a moment to catch his break. He lifted his head to the ceiling. He rotated his neck in a circular motion cracking his muscles. His flaccid groin quickly became erect again inside of her. He stared down at her with a wicked glint in his eyes. Serena grabbed the sheets in anticipation. He leaned forwards as his hand landed on either side of her. His head descended and his mouth latched onto to her neck, sucking and nibbling on it. Serena arched her back as her mouth formed a small circle as she cried out as Darien began to tear up her insides of as he fucked her at a rapid pace. Serena let out a loud scream as she cried out in pleasure and ecstasy as her toes curled and her eyes rolled to the back of head. She closed her eyes for a moment .Her sweaty body was completely at ease and relaxed for the first time in a long time. A happy smile formed on her lips. She could feel Darien growing aroused again inside of her. His stamina amazed her tonight. Her eyes popped opened and her smile faded. He was no longer Darien. It was Dragon disguised as Rick Thornton.

She panicked quickly shaking her head in disillusion. Dragon grinned down at her. She tried to push him off of her as he repeatedly pounded roughly inside of her. He pinned her wrists down on the bed over her head overpowering her. Serena glanced at the large mirror next to the bed and saw Dragon on top of her having rough sex with her. She still looked like Alex. Her eyes widen when she realized none of this was real. She screamed so loud the room shattered around her like a window smashed to pieces by a rock. She screamed again jumping up to find herself naked and alone back on the cliff in hell.

She panted and trembled realizing she was still in the large bed with the red sheets, which were now messy and stained. She glanced down feeling the soreness between her thighs and saw semen leaking out of her. She whimpered pulling her legs up to her chest, and wrapping her arms around her knees. She buried her head on her knees hiding her face in shame. She could not see him but she could hear his cackling in victory echo around her for miles.

"Hello, my future queen." Her head shot up when she saw the dragon with the burnt mark flying towards the cliff. She watched as the dragon slowly transformed before her into Dragon wearing a dark armor and black cape. His eyes glowed red and his eyes roamed over her body. He smirked when his eyes landed on her stomach.

Serena lashed out spitefully, "You bastard!" Her livid blue eyes glared at him as she pulled the sheets up to her breasts covering her naked body.

Dragon mocked, "No need for modesty. The deed is done. You are pregnant with my child."

Her eyes widen in disbelief. He said jubilantly, "Welcome to hell, Serena!" She screamed.
