------ WATCH OUT MEATBALL HEAD ! Chapter Eight ***************************** Serena ************************************ I can�t believe I forgot the time! Pulling the alarm clock out of my bag and switching it off, I prayed that my parents hadn't discovered my empty bed. When I reached my house, I quickly slipped into the back garden. Once I had caught my breath, I starred up the tree I had come down in, and groaned. There was a big gap between me and the last branch and it would be impossible to even attempt going up. Suddenly a thought occurred to me, I had the keys to the house and even though it would be too risky to sneak in through the front door, it would be easier and it wouldn�t make much noise if I went through the back. Triumphantly, I made my way towards the backdoor. I quickly unlocked the backdoor and stepped inside. My smile instantly froze as I saw who was standing in front of me���.. ********************************Darien********************************** I got up from where I was sitting in the park. The sun would be coming up in a few minutes, and I didn�t want to stick around, so I started making my way out of the park.I was still thinking about that girl, Serena. One minute we had been talking and the next she had run out on me, without giving me an explanation. Serena Tsukino. Her name, the girl I had saved and thought I killed. In a weird way I was kind of happy � I still didn�t have any idea of who I was, but I felt better about myself knowing that I hadn�t killed her. I smiled at myself, whoever she was to me I didn�t know but I had a feeling about her. And I was still puzzling over the flash back, we both had. That wasn�t my first but I had seen her in it �.. but in that I called her Serenity ? I had had a few more flash backs in those I was a weird hero in a black cape �� I didn�t know if it was me, it had to be unless I had an identical twin � which was no option for me. all these memories made no sense. �So you couldn�t sleep too ?� I stopped, startled. As a voice broke into my thoughts. Andrew stood a few paces in front of my at the entrance of the park. He had a bandage where I had punched him, but his face showed no signs of hatred. I stood still, not knowing what to do. When I didn�t reply, he started moving towards me. When he was directly in front of me, he raised his fist. I didn�t even use my hands to protect myself, I just closed my eyes, waiting for the punch. *********************************Amy*********************************** I groaned and sat up on my bed. I'd been tossing and tuning all night since I came home from Serena�s. I couldn�t sleep. I sighed as I thought of Serena. I was glad she was ok, but I was still confused of what had happened before her accident. I had a very bad feeling that we were partly to blame over the entire incident. I felt sorry for Serena over her memory lapse but I was also glad at the same time � because that meant she didn�t remember our argument on the phone. But sooner or later she was bound to get her memory back . . . . . and then what ? I didn�t know how the rest of the girls felt over all this. I didn�t want to tell them, because I was afraid that all I'd do is cause more confusion and more problems. Before Serena's accident we were all sure that Serena should step down from her place as the leader of the sailor scouts but after her accident our motives had changed. Those weeks, when she was in coma, where we�d prayed that she�ll make through this alive, had been torture to every single one of us. In our own way, I knew that we thought individually we were responsible to where Serena had landed herself. I still had a tremendous amount of unanswered questions. Questions that even Luna couldn�t answer. I grabbed my communicator which was in the top drawer near my bedside table, I had a sudden urge to call one of the scouts, but the urge soon faded once I caught a glimpse of my alarm clock, it was only a while past 5 a.m. if I called now, I would only wake them up. �BEEP BEEP� �BEEP BEEP� �BEEP BEEP� it took a while for it to register that the sound was coming from the communicator, I quickly switched it on. �Amy ?� Ray�s voice sounded. �Are you awake ?� she asked cautiously. �Yes Ray I�ve been awake for a while, I take it you couldn�t sleep too ?� I replied. �no, I kept thinking of Serena.� She sighed. �what are we going to do about her ? I mean I really do feel guilty over her memory loss and what she�s been through and all but what are we going to do about � well about everything ! sailormoon, her, our leader ?� she continued. I didn�t reply, because those were the exact questions I didn�t have the answer to. �well I guess first of all, I think we need to meet up, just the four of us and decide together, what we�re going to do. Until then we�ll just avoid the subject when we�re with Serena � its not like she�ll notice, not unless she gets her memory back, that is. When do you think she�ll get her memory back ?� Ray asked. I took all the information in. �wow, you have been thinking about this, haven�t you.� I asked. I actually admired her ability to overcome the problem and solve it no matter what the situation was. To some people she may seem insensitive and bossy but she only tries to help. �well, I haven't been able to sleep. So I just tried to solve it all, but � then I thought of Serena and how she must feel, all alone not knowing anything at all . . . .� Ray�s voice trailed off. That was one thing that hadn�t occurred to me. And I realized that Ray was right � I couldn�t imagine how it would feel. �I think you�re right, we should hold a meeting tomorrow, at your temple. Then talk about all this then.� I said. But even after agreeing on a time to meet up, a promise to phone the others in the morning and more talking, I couldn�t sleep. What Ray had said about how Serena must feel at the moment really made me realize from her point of view, how hard it was for her. I glanced at the clock. It was just a few minutes before 8. I got up, changed into my jogging clothes and went downstairs to phone the others. I left a message to Lita and Mina with there parents as they were both still asleep. Then I left my house for an early morning jog in the park. *********************************************************************** I know it�s a short chapter but That�s all for now.
