.::Serena’s POV::.
After leaving the cemetery to pay my respects, I looked at my watch and cussed under my breath realizing how late I was running for the Senshi meeting. I bolted for the shrine that my friend Rei and her grandfather owned.
“Rei is going to kill me!” I screeched, and as to be expected, I tripped over my own two feet, having a notorious klutz attack, unceremoniously colliding to the concrete below me. I let off a silent scream of agony as my body landed on my injured hand and arm; my school bag falling a few feet ahead of me. I clutched my hand to my chest; trying to ease the searing pain, as tears started to fall.
“Serena are you alright?” I stiffened, slowly rising unsteadily to my feet. I turned my head to see my advisor looking upon me worried. Giving her a watery smile I nodded.
“I’m fine Luna,” fine was far from how I felt, but I wouldn’t tell her that. She doesn’t need to worry about me. Luna stepped closer to me and suddenly jumped up on my shoulder, seeing the pain etched across my face.
“You don’t look alright.” retorted the feline, trying to get a good look at my wounded appendage.
“Really…I’m okay.”
“No you’re not, your trembling.”
“I’m cold.”
“It’s 80 degrees.”
Fucking persistent cat! I frowned and began to head to Rei’s shrine once again, feeling my advisor’s eyes scrutinizing me. I licked my lips nervously, wishing she would stop looking at me with those beady little eyes of hers. I kept my own eyes ahead of me, and slowly began to see the shrine coming into view; thank God!
I made my way to the entrance gate of the shrine and bolted up the steps two at a time, ignoring the protests my body made. Luna jumped off my shoulder with a growl and bound up the steps behind me, causing me to giggle.
Stopping at the top of the stairs, I bent over at the waist breathing heavily. I wiped the sweat that trickled down the side of my face and proceeded into the shrine doors. I stepped inside and smiled softly hearing my friends giggling amongst themselves.
“Amy should really check and make sure you are alright.” replied Luna. I shook my head at the suggestion and began to head towards the bathroom.
“No, that’s okay Luna. I’m alright.” Flashing the feline a reassuring smile, I continued my voyage down the hall. I didn’t noticed Luna’s frown, as I quickly made my way into the bathroom. I closed the door quietly behind me and pressed my head against the door with a heavy sigh. I realized I was still trembling and I raised my injured hand to my line of vision, cussing lightly seeing blood seeping through the bandages.
I turned towards the bathroom sink, wondering if Rei had any bandages in the medicine cabinet. I slowly trudged my way towards the sink, opening the medicine cabinet, and to my displeasure there were no bandages in sight.
“Damn it.” I muttered. I jumped slightly as I heard a catchy tune signaling off. Rummaging through my book bag I pulled out my cell phone and seen that I had a text message from my boyfriend. With a smile I checked the message that read we needed to talk. Frowning deeply I closed my phone and placed it back in my book bag.
“What does he need to talk to me about?” I muttered. I ran my fingers through my bangs and sighed heavily. I looked down at my bandaged hand realizing that I had to do something quickly. I stepped over towards the sink and began peel off the blood soaked bandages, wincing in pain when the material pulled at my tender skin.
To my horror I heard a knock on the bathroom door and before I could utter a word, the door swung open. I quickly stepped away from the sink and hid my arm behind me to see Amy looking upon me with an arched brow. I could feel blood trickling down my arm, and I began praying to the Gods that it didn’t splash to the floor.
Amy cleared her throat and fixed her glasses upon her face. “Luna said you were hurt.”
I couldn’t stop the scowl that suddenly appeared upon my face as I silently cursed Luna for meddling with my problems. I realized that Amy was now frowning as well and I quickly flashed her one of my silly grins and giggled nervously.
“I don’t know what she’s talking about.”
The blue haired genius cocked her head to the side, frown deepening. “Really now?”
I nodded my head a bit too quickly and I watched as my friend gave me a small smile and shake her head.
“You’re pretty bad at lying Serena,” she suddenly giggled as she began to point out my flaws. “You have bloody bandages on the sink and you’re dripping blood on the floor.”
I could feel the blood drain from my face as Amy stepped closer to me. “So let me see your injury.” I gulped as I felt my heart beating rapidly against my rib cage and I fought back the tears of fear that began to well up in my eyes. Amy must have felt my anxiety because she placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.
“Let me see Serena.” I blinked back my tears and inhaled deeply before pulling out my mutilated hand and arm. I watched as Amy gasped, taking a startled step back and covering her mouth with both hands. She stared upon the appendage for quite some time before she raised tear-filled dark blue eyes upon me.
“What happened?” Amy whispered, voice wavering.
I exhaled, realizing I was holding my breath. I looked down at my arm and made a quick decision. “I got hurt in that youma battle last night. I fell on my way over here and my it reopened.” I forced a grin knowing full well that it didn’t reach my eyes. “You know how klutzy I am.” Amy stared me hard in the eyes for a moment before flashing me a smile and nodding her head.
“Oh, okay. Well let me go get my medic bag.” she turned and began walking out the door. She paused in the doorway and turned towards me. “You know you’re suppose to let me know when you’re hurt Serena.”
“I know I’m sorry, I was just in a real hurry to get home.” I replied.
Amy nodded. “Alright, I’ll be back.” she turned away and closed the door quietly behind her.
.::Amy’s POV::.
I closed the door behind me and ran my hand through my short blue hair. With a heavy sigh I turned and looked at the bathroom door with a shake of my head, not believing what I had just seen. Serena’s forearm was covered in scars and gashes that were oozing with blood, and then her hand was bright red and covered in blisters.
“Why are you lying to me Serena?” I whispered before turning away from door. “What are you hiding that is so bad that you can’t tell us what’s going on?” I then began to head towards the room where I left her bag. I stepped into the room and all conversation ceased and I looked upon the girls, Artemis and Luna.
“Where’s Odango?” questioned Rei, placing her manga she was reading down on her lap.
“In the bathroom.” I took a hold of my medic bag and looked upon my comrades. “When Serena leaves, we all need to talk.”
Lita frowned and sat up in her seat beside Mina. “Why, what’s wrong?”
“We’ll talk when Serena leaves.” With that I walked out of the room and headed back towards the bathroom.
.::Serena’s POV::.
I jumped up on the sink counter and began kicking me feet and humming a soft melody out of boredom. I flashed a small smile as Amy returned and placed her medic bag down beside me. She wordlessly reached into her bag and pulled out the need necessities to fix me up. She finished up rather quickly and cleaned up her mess and grinned up at me.
“Come on, the girls are waiting.” She helped me down from the counter and we both made our way back into the room with the rest of the girls. Upon entering all conversations halted and I could feel everyone’s eyes but Amy’s boring into me.
I furrowed my brows feeling uncomfortable and quickly found a seat on the floor in the corner of Rei’s bedroom. I heard Luna clear her throat as I was setting up some pillows to rest on. I leaned back getting comfortable, as Luna began the senshi meeting, and I slowly began to tune her out as I became lost in my own thoughts.
My mind wondered back to my boyfriend Darien and began thinking about his text message he had sent me. I couldn’t figure out what he wanted to talk to me about, though I really did need to talk to him about something important as well. I’m two weeks late on my menstrual cycle and to say the least; I am freaking out!
I looked down at my ring finger where I wore the promise ring Darien had gotten me for Christmas a few months ago. I smiled dreamily upon the jewelry that had a silver band and a light pink jewel encased in the center. I am going to tell him today, I have to get this off my chest.
“Serena!” I snapped out of my thoughts and looked around bewilderedly at my friends and advisors looking up at me and sniggering. I furrowed my brows in confusion, still unable to pinpoint who had called my name.
“Huh?”
“The meeting is over Odango.” replied a giggling Rei. I cocked my head to the side still caught up in confusion. My eyes suddenly widened as the priestess’s words sunk in and I jumped up from my seat and gathered my things as fast as I could; now was my time to talk to Darien!
“Where are you off to in such a rush?” questioned Luna.
“I need to talk to Darien.” I paused, pulling my book bag strap over my shoulder. “Oh and Luna, I think it would be best if you stayed at Mina’s house tonight.” Before the feline could say a word I bounded out of the room with a wave to my friends. I made a quick retreat outside and stopped at the top of the stairs to pull out my cell phone. I sent a text message to Darien that I was on my way before making a full fledge dash down the stairs and off of the shrine’s property.
.::Author’s POV::.
Mina shook her head as she watched Serena bound out the room like a bat out of hell and then turned her attention to her blue haired friend, whom didn’t speak a word at the senshi meeting.
“Amy, what is it you wanted to talk about?” questioned the blonde.
Amy shifted uncomfortably as all eyes turned to her. She wrung her fingers together before clearing her throat to began speaking. “There is something wrong with Serena.”
“What isn’t wrong with Serena?” muttered Rei with a roll of her eyes.
Amy shook her head becoming serious. “Seriously Rei there is something wrong.” She shifted her eyes to Luna. “You weren’t kidding when you said Serena was hurt Luna.”
Luna furrowed her cat like brows, as the tension thickened in the room. “Is she okay? questioned the feline advisor.
“Well…” Amy shook her head trying to figure out were to start. “Serena told me she was hurt in that youma battle last night, but those wounds…those wounds did not come from that Youma.”
“What do you mean Amy?” questioned Lita, becoming very concerned.
“Well she had gashes down her forearm…and then her hand…it was burned really badly.”
“This is Serena we are talking about Amy. It could have been her infamous klutz attacks.” replied Rei, trying to reassure the blunette.
“No Rei, it’s deeper than that.” Replied Amy.
“I believe Amy is right,” said Luna. “I’ve been keeping an eye on her lately…she avoids home as much as possible and when she’s there she stays in her room. I’ve also noticed her on many occasions sneaking back in the house moments before school starts.”
Rei began to frown with worry. “What do you suppose to we do, confront her about it?”
Amy shook her head. “No, she will deny everything and lie like she did with me.”
“Then what can we do?” asked Lita.
“Spend more time with her; keep a closer eye on her. Maybe if we show her we truly care about her then she will open up to us.” replied Mina. Everyone’s eyes widened at how much sense Mina had just made.
“That sounds great!” exclaimed Amy, shock evident in her voice.
Mina grinned and threw up a V for victory. “Thanks!”
“Why don’t we have a sleep over here tomorrow night? We can rent some movies and get some snacks.”
“Great idea Rei.” Replied Mina as she stood up from her seat on the ground. “I really need to get home; I will call you guys tonight so we can discuss all we need.” Everyone nodded and began to pack up their things save for Rei. Everyone filed out of the room and soon out of the shrine, leaving Rei to ponder over what Odango could be hiding.
