Prologue

Serena laid on the bed in her room listening to Eminem the song 'Sing for the Moment'. Al l she could feel was pain. Her dad had beaten her and her brother Sam again. That's all her father ever does know except staying out late and getting drunk or getting laid by some ho in a strip joint. Her mom walked out on them 2 months ago because she couldn't handle the beatings. Her mom promised she would be back to get them, but never showed up. Serena lost all hope in everything. It breaks her heart everytime her litte brother Sam would stare out the window waiting for his mother to come home and she would never show up.

Serena is 17 years old. She has long blonde hair with streaks of silver. Her hair was usually held up in two odangos, but is now flowing freely down her back. She has dark blue eyes. She wore a white long sleeved shirt that has holes and blood stains all over it. She also wore a pair of black cotton boxers which were in the same state as her shirt.

Only two people knew what was going on in Serena's house. One being Setsuna because she sees it in the Time Gates. The second who isn't exactly a person but her mentor Luna. Serena made Luna and Setsuna promise to never tell anybody what was going on. So, Luna stopped living with the Tskinos and moved in with Mina and Artemis. Luna couldn't stand the yelling and screaming and watching Serena's father beat on his family. Serena couldn't blame Luna for leaving and felt sorry for her to see that.

Serena would usually take away the pain by locking herself in the bathroom. She would take her razor or a sharp pair of scissors and cut her self for hours. But tonight she didn't have the strength to go into the bathroom to forget all of the pain and be locked up in her own little world.

Serena's father also starved her and her brother. When her dad would pass out Serena would sneak into his wallet and take some money that would last her and her brother a couple of days. She gave a weary smile on how blind her friends are. All they think is that Serena lives in a perfect little world and is to innocent and stupid to understand anything. And the times they would make fun of her for her eating habits and clumsiness. Boy where they wrong. Why can't they see through the mask she puts up everyday to fool the world.

Serena falls asleep in class is only to catch up on the sleep she missed the night before, especially when she has to fight late night battles. Oh, and the nights her father would rape and molest her and Sam. And the reasons she can't concentrate in class is beacuse she's thinking of how she can control the tears from falling because of her pain from the beatings. Oh, and about the tripping and the falling, that is a whole big act. She does it on purpose so no one will ask about her bruises and marks. Her house is a broken home.

But deep down Serena wishes at least somebody would ask her what's wrong. Even though she'll say nothings wrong, she just wants somebody to care about her for once.

Serena's thought's turned towards her Ex-boyfriend Darien. He broke her heart and left her for Setsuna. Serena wasn't all that mad though, she knew he didn't love her as she didn't love him, but it still hurt. Plus she happy for Setsuna, she deserves to be happy for once. The only thing she was sad about is not having Rini as a daughter. Setsuna told her the truth on how Rini was really Darien's and Setsuna's. Setsuna also told her that she has another soul mate and will be soon revealed.

Serena was startled out of her thought's when her 14 year old brother came into her room. He has blue eyes silimilar to Serena's and has unruly dirty blonde hair. He has an loop earing on his left ear that he had since he was 6. His clothes where torn and bloody just like Serena's.

"Serena", Sam whispered.

"What?", grunted Serena.

"Can I stay in here with you?" he asked.

" Yeah, come on, but first can you turn off my radio please ." replied Serena.

Sam' s face brightened up as he went over to turn off the radio on the dresser then jumped into Serena's big bed. With his back turned towards Serena, Serena wrapped her arms around her brother. Sam moved back a little to get more comfortable in his sister's embrace.

Sam slept more often in Serena's room because he was afraid that his father would get him. He always felt safe with Serena. She always protected him when ever he needed help. Sometimes she would even take Sam's beatings for him.

"Serena?", said Sam.

"What?" replied Serena sleepily.

"When do you think mom is coming home?" he questioned.

"Forget about her" growled Serena. "She is never coming home so stop asking me the same question."

Sam's body started to shake as he tried not to cry, but a few tears crepted down anyway. Serena turned her brother towards her and saw the tears. She immediately felt guilty and wiped away the tears. She rubbed his back to comfort him and began apologizing to him.

" Sam I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you." replied Serena

"But I want my mommy", cried Sam.

"Sam you got to understand that she is never coming back, so get over it" said Serena.

Sam nodded his head in understanding.

"But i'll take of you like a mother now and forever and one day we'll run away together. ", whispered Serena in her brothers ear.

Sam smiled and gave his sister a kiss on the cheek. He hugged her tightly as they both stayed in silence and then fell asleep.

**************************

Serena was awakened from her dreamless sleep when she felt some one roughly shaking her. She opened her eyes to be faced with beat red eyes of her father. She can still smell the liquior on his breathe from the night before.

"Get up and get ready for school", he growled then gave her a powerful smack across the face. From the strength of the smack caused her to fly out of the bed and hit her head on the wall. Serena held her head in pain trying not to cry.

"I said get up", he yelled louder. He walked up to her and yanked her up by the shoulders. He pushed her into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

"Hurry Up", he yelled through the door.

Serena heard her father walking away from the door and go towards Sam's room. She heard her father yelling at Sam to hurry up and get dressed as she heard a couple of slaps here and there.

Serena sunk to the floor and began to cry. She hated her father more than anything in the world. She got on her feet unsteadily then took a quick shower. She came out slightly limping and went into her room in a towel. She put on a pair of baggy blue jeans and a long sleeved red shirt and a pair of black nikes. She put on some makeup to hide the bruises and gathered her stuff for school. She walked out of her room and went into her brothers room and saw him in the corner crying.

She walked into the room and picked up her brother as he cried on her shoulder.

"Shh Sam, we got to go to school and we don' t want your eyes all red and puffy", said Serena trying to get him to stop crying.

He stopped crying and jumped off of her lap. He went and grabbed his school stuff and gave Serena a little smile.

They both walked out of the room and downstairs towards the front door. As they walked by the living room they saw there father on the couch surrounded by beers and watching tv. They went out the door quickly and where off to school.

Before they had to go their seperate ways Serena gave Sam some money and a kiss on the cheek. Serena promised that she'll be at Sam's school to walk him home. They waved each other good-bye and went to their respective schools.
