I woke up from a restless sleepless night. I still can�t stop thinking about that incident, no matter how hard I try. I saw that Darien was still asleep, at least he was able to sleep better than I was. I decided to get dressed and go down the arcade to talk to Andrew.
I picked out a pair of blue jeans and a white tank top. I brushed my long golden hair and decided instead of the usual meatballs that I wore, a ponytail instead would do. I grabbed a light jacket after I wrote a quick note to Darien telling him where I would be. With that done I headed out the door and started to walk the arcade.
Elsewhere
On top of a roof near the arcade stood two beings conversing not so quietly.
�Why isn't she at home crying her eyes out...Seiya!� She yelled.
�Yes your Majesty?� answered Seiya.
�Why does she not looked depressed, why isn't she upset? I though that you said she was too upset to even leave her room, what happened!?�
�She was before, but I think shes trying to hide how depression since Dariens returned�
�Well I want to see her miserable! Go down there and shake her up a little bit while I plan our next move.�
Seiya bowed and jumped down from the roof to reek havoc on Serena.
Being still on roof:
�My cousin was stupid to doubt Serenity�s power. She didn't listen to me and look where it got her, killed! Well at least I�m allot smatter than her. She tried to get to sailor moon by going through her friends, but I knew better. I know just what will break that little princess. Muhahahahahahah!! Even though you were older than me didn't mean you were smatter. You here me cousin!! Stupid Galixia!
Serena had finally mad it to the arcade. She walked inside and sat down in a stool across the counter from where Andrew stood.
�Hey Serena how ya been?� asked Andrew.
�I�ve been better Andrew, but I�m ok I guess�
Andrew realized that she felt down so he decided to make her a chocolate milkshake, her favorite.
�Here ya go Serena, on the house.�
Serena looked up at Andrew and smiled. �Thanks Andrew�
�No problem�
Serena sat there enjoying her milkshake and chatting happily with Andrew when someone walked into the arcade. They both looked up to see that it was none other than Seiya himself.
�Seiya!� Serena yelled.
�Get out, your not welcome here� said Andrew.
�Hey its a free country, I can go where ever I please� replied Seiya.
Serena and Andrew glared at him but decided to ignore him all the same and turned around and continued to talk.
�Hey dont ignore me my little snow bunny� Seiya said with an evil smirk on his face.
�Uhh, dont call me that!�
�Heh heh� was all Seiya said and placed his hand on Serena�s shoulder.
�Dont touch me you sleez bag!� yelled Serena.
Seiya removed his hand. �Whatever you say my cute little bunny�
�I think you need to leave now� said Andrew.
Seiya looked at Andrew then started to walk out the door. When he got to the door he stopped and turned around and looked at Serena with a cold icy stare.
�Ill get you when you least expect it.�
And with that he turned and walked out of the arcade door.
�Oh Andrew what am I going to do?� asked Serena.
�For now just be as careful as you can, but I wouldn�t stress over it. You have me, the girls, and Darien here to protect you.� said Andrew.
Serena shook her head. �Darien doesn�t know�
�You mean you still haven�t told him?� asked Andrew.
�I�m just not ready yet ok�
�You have to tell him sometime Serena�
�I know but not yet�
Darien�s POV
When I woke up I noticed that Serena wasn�t there. I figured that she was in the kitchen eating breakfast. But when I got up to see, I didn�t see her anywhere. Then I noticed not on the table. It read:
�Darien, I went to the arcade for a while. See you when you get up.
love ya,
Serena
After reading the note I decided to get ready and go down to the arcade to see Serena and also Andrew, my best friend. Well besides Serena.
As I started my walk to the arcade I felt as if someone was watching me. After so long of feeling like this, I finally stopped walking and looked around. I didn�t see anything out of the ordinary, but then something told me to look up so I did. Thats when I noticed a young girl standing on top of the roof of an old building. She looked exactly like Serena, but her hair was black instead of a golden blonde. But as soon as I saw her, she was gone. I shook it off and thought to myself that I must be seeing things, and kept walking towards the arcade.
As I got close to the door of the arcade, there was a guy walking out of it. He had long dark hair and was wearing a leather jacket.
�Welcome back Darien� he said when he saw me.
It was Seiya I knew it. I didn�t like the way he looked at me. He wore an evil smirk on his face as if he was up to something.
I walked into the arcade and saw Serena talking with Andrew. I walked up and sat down on a stool next to Serena.
�Hey Serena, hi Andrew, whats up?� I asked.
I noticed that Andrew glanced at Serena then. Serena then turned to me and said, �Hey Darien� and plastid on a fake smile. Then she turned back around and stared at her unfinished milkshake.
�Am I missing something here?� I asked.
�No everythings just peachy, promise� said Serena.
I still wasnt convinced that everything was ok, but I let it go.
Serena�s POV
�No everythings just peachy, promise� I replied.
By the look on his face I didn�t really think he bought it. Its true, I wasn�t ok. Seyia coming into the arcade like that really shook me up. I decided that I needed to clear my head, so I told Darien and Andrew that I was going home to rest.
As I started to walk home I felt as if someone were watching me. I stopped and looked around, but all I saw were regular people doing ordinary things. I shook it off and continued to the apartment.
Later
Serena had only been asleep for about ten minuets when a noise awoke her. What was that? Oh it must be Darien, she thought. She started to drift off asleep again when she heard someone calling her name.
�Serena. Serena, wake up Serena!�
�Who�s there?�
�Serena its me, Rini�
�Rini, what are you doing here?�
�I came to worn you�
�Worn me?�
�Yes, someone is messing with your lifeline�
�My lifeline, Rini what are you talking about?�
�Someone is trying to get rid of you, but this new enemy isn�t like the ones you�ve faced before, this new enemy is very evil and will stop at nothing to destroy you�
�Rini, who is this new enemy?�
�Her name is Katarina, shes the cousin of Galexia. And the only way to stop her is to find your true inner strenght. Your last true form.�
�My last true form?�
�Yes, you know you have four forms already, Serena, sailormoon, eternal sailor moon, and Serenity. And now you must find your last and final form, sailor cosmos. But Serena you must be very careful.�
�I will don�t wor...�
Just then there was a loud noise from the other side of the apartment that made Rini jump.
�What was that?�
Serena noticed the scared look on Rini�s face and replied:
�Don�t worry Rini its probably just..�
But before she could finish her sentence someone grabbed her by the neck and started to choke her. Serena could hear Rini somewhere yelling.
�No please stop let her go!�
The figure knocked out Serena and started to move towards Rini. She started to scream, �No, ahhhhhhh!� but the person gagged her. He tied both of them up and layed them inside a bag and tied it. He heard the small child trying to yell out so he knocked her out along with the older girl. Then all was dark.
