Chapter 5:
Next Morning - At Lita's
The sun's rays filtered through the curtains of the
room. Ami was the first one to wake up. She sat up and looked at
her watch, it read 8:55. She then began thinking about how the past
two nights had taken their toll on all of them. First with Serena
being attacked, then her heart-wrentching story of the events that
transpired. Everyone was tired and upset with these people from the
dark moon. First they go after a small child, and now after Serena:
their princess. Everyone had had enough.
Ami then scanned the room. Lita, Mina, and Mirchiru
were still asleep on the floor. She then looked to where Rei and
Haruka were, and smiled. Although both Rei and Haruka hardly ever
admit it, they care for Serena very much. She remembered the day when
Serena had told them that Darien broke up with her. It took a lot of
convincing on Serena's part to get them to promise not to beat him up.
'They're so protective of her,' she thought. 'Rei is
like an overprotective sister and Ruka is like an overprotective
brother. No wonder the two of them insisted on sleeping next to
Serena.'
Serena.
Ami crawled over to where the three of them were
supposed to be.
Ami: "Oh Kamisama (in other words, oh my god) !!!"
She exclaimed so loudly that everyone got up immediately.
Mina: "What's going on?!"
Ami, not being able to speak at the moment, looked at
Rei, then at Haruka. She then looked down to where Serena should be.
Haruka: "Shimatta!!"
Lita: "Nani (in other words, what) ?!"
Rei: "Serena's gone! That's what!"
Mirchiru: "How can this be possible?"
Haruka: "Where is she? Where can she be? Where is
she?"
Mina: "Alright, everyone just calm down. Before we
jump to conclusions, how do we know that she's not in the bathroom or
something."
Before anyone could answer, Lita ran to the bathroom
and came back with a grim look on her face, "She's not there!"
Mina: "Alright, um, Ami, you use your computer to see
if you can track her down. Rei and Mirchiru, get to the temple and do
a fire reading. Lita and Ruka, check the apartment to see if maybe she
left a note or something."
Ami: "What about you?"
Mina: "I'm going to call the guys."
Rei and Mirchiru, who were almost out the door, stopped
abruptly and said, "No!!" simulataniously.
Rei: "We can't let Darien find out. You saw how he
was last night. He's already so freaked out. We can't tell him yet."
Ami: "She's right. We don't know what he'll do."
Mina: "Fine, I'll tell them the situation, and tell
them not to say a word of it to Darien."
They all nodded, and went to
do their prescribed tasks.
Meanwhile . . .
Darien woke up to the sun's rays shining on his face.
He wasn't going to get up, but was startled to hear some voices. Then
the events of last night flashed through his mind. He realized that
Michael and Jason must've stayed the night. His thoughts then drifted
back to last night.
'So, what happens now? What if it didn't work?' he
thought. 'It had to!' He had the nightmares as usual, and woke up,
as usual, in a cold sweat. But this time, he was too tired to stay
awake, so he went back to sleep, and didn't wake up until just now.
Usually, after the dream, he wouldn't bother sleeping agian, for he
feared that he would have to relive that same dream that plagued his
nights (AN: it happened a few times, so he decided that it would be
best if he didn't go back to sleep). The fact that he went back to
sleep and didn't have the dream again, made him feel a little uneasy.
'I went back to sleep, but I didn't have the dream
again. What does this mean?!' His thoughts were interupted by the
ringing of the phone and Michael's voice . . .
Michael: "Hello, Chiba residence."
Darien couldn't help but smile. Michael was always so
formal, even back in the Silver Mill- (AN: I read that Malachite
treated Darien/Endymion very formally, even if he didn't have to, sorry
just thought I'd add that, in case I was wrong).
Michael: "WHAT!!!!!!!"
'That can't be good . . . . . Serena!'
Darien jumped
out of bed and ran out the door, only to be greeted by Jason, who began
holding him back.
Darien: "Let go of me, Jay!! What's going on?! Is it
Rini?! Serena?! Talk to me! Let go Jay!!!"
Don't you just love this! What happened to our poor Serena?! Where can she be? Find out, same moon channel, same moon time! LOL! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Anyway, hope you liked it. The next chapter, which should be out as soon as I type it, will be very, very long, so don't worry seafoam! And for all of you people who want some action, the next chapter will have a lot of it. Thanks for reading, please send me any comments. Ja ne!
