Finding Destiny
Part 26
By Angel Love
Author's notes: This chapter is going to focus on Raye's life during the Silver Millennium. So there won't be any big Serena/Darien moments here. But don't fret there will be romantic moments! But beware, there is going to be violence, blood and death in this chapter.
Standard disclaimers apply. I don't own Sailor Moon. But the story did come from my warped little brain. If you would like to host it on your site, feel free to email me and ask.
Silver Millennium:
Eight-year old Princess Raye sat alone in her new room in the palace on the moon. Her long red dress flowed around her childish form as she perched on the edge of a stool in the middle of the floor. Her eyes were glazed over as she stared at nothing in particular. Her mind replaying the entire events that had changed her young life that day.
She had just pledged herself to a seven-year old girl, the Supreme Princess Serenity. She had vowed to lay down her life for a young blonde girl with bright blue eyes. Part of her young mind screamed in protest of being made to do such a thing. She was too young to take on such a responsibility. But then another part of it was boosting on what an honor it was that she was even asked to do it. That left her very confused, scared and slightly angry.
The Supreme Princess seemed to be nice, always offering her a smile, as well as the young scout that was always by the princess' side, Princess Mina, otherwise known as Sailor Venus. But Princess Amara, aka Sailor Uranus, and Princess Michelle, aka Sailor Neptune, gave her ill feelings. They ignored any attempt that she made to talk to them, brushing her off as if she were a mere pest in their lives. And Sailor Pluto disappeared almost immediately after the ceremony, only pausing long enough to say a few words to Queen Serenity and smile sweetly at the Supreme Princess.
Raye's own parents had left several hours ago, saying that she needed to stay here to train. She would be able to see them in a few months, when she completed the first series of grueling training exercises. She was not at all sure that she was up to the task.
She had just begun to cry when she felt a comforting hand against her shoulder. Startled, she jumped up, spun around to meet the serene face of the Supreme Princess, the cause for Raye's misery.
"I am sorry that I startled you," the soft childish voice said.
"That's alright, my Princess," Raye said, bowing her head, wishing that the Princess would just go away. She did not want her to see the tears that still clung to her cheeks. She was afraid that she might say something that she would regret, she was never very good at keeping her temper in check.
But Serenity had seen them the moment she had entered Fire Scout's quarters. "Are you alright?"
"No... I mean yes, my Princess," the raven-haired girl stammered, embarrassed that she was caught. She couldn't think of any way to get out telling the girl the truth as to why she was crying. Again, she hoped that she would go away.
Serenity smiled softly, with a move that showed that she was indeed a lot more graceful than most seven-year-olds, she sat down on the vacated stool with ease. "I am sorry that you are so far from home, Raye. I know it must be hard."
"Do not apologize, my princess. I was called here to serve you. It is my duty."
"But I feel as if I must, for I am the cause of your pain," she soothed, guessing Raye's earlier thoughts. "And please call me Serenity."
Raye glanced up at her with wide eyes. She never expected that request from the Supreme Princess. "But I cannot, my Princess, a servant must always show respect."
Serenity shook her head, clearly amused. "I am well aware of the way things are. But I do not wish you to be my servant, I want a friend." She held out one delicate hand towards the other girl, a clear offer of friendship she just asked for.
"You do not want me as a servant?" Raye's eyes were fixed on the slim hand, uncertainty making her hesitate in reaching out herself.
"No."
Raye then looked deep into the princess' eyes, searching them for the truth. Finding only sincerity, a smile slowly found it's way across her face. She then reached out and grasped the other girl's hand. "Friends?"
"Friends," Serenity agreed with a nod, then she giggled beginning a tickling contest with her newfound friend. Glad that she was able to sooth away some of the other girl's loneliness and confusion. For she could understand what it was like to have no one around to offer a sweet word.
Several years later...
Sailor Mars ran full seed down the path leading to the forest clearing, desperation urging her steps on. Lita and Amy had just informed her that the generals were leaving a day early to return to the Earth, and they were teleporting within the next few minutes. The situation on Earth was getting seriously worse, so they were leaving before their prince, making sure that he would arrive safely.
She arrived at the edge of the clearing to see that the generals were getting ready to teleport, joy radiated through her that she was able to catch him.
"Wait!"
Startled, the four generals spun around, drawing their swords. Each were relieved when Sailor Mars ran out into the clearing, straight into Jadeite's awaiting arms. Smiles of understanding appeared on the other three's faces and they moved away to offer them some privacy. Each knowing what the couple was feeling, because they too just said goodbye to their girlfriends.
The blonde general buried his face in the scout's hair, savoring the sweet lavender scent of her. "Raye..."
Mars pulled back to look up into the gray eyes of her lover. "I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye."
Jadeite's eyebrow cocked, amusement clear on his face. "We said goodbye last night."
The scout blushed at the memories of the night before. "I know... but that wasn't really a goodbye, not a proper one." She gave him a look that spoke of her royal upbringing.
He chuckled, tracing a finger down her smooth face. "I love you, Raye."
The Martian princess' face shone bright with happiness at the Terrain general's declaration, something that she had heard before, but would never tire of hearing. She would live to hear that simple phrase for the rest of her life. "I love you too, Jade."
He pulled her face up for a deep kiss, savoring the feel of her fingers as they wove their way in his untamed blonde hair. Reluctantly he pulled away from her. To ease the pain he saw on flash across her face, he winked. "I'll be back." Then he nodded to the other generals, as sign that he was ready to leave, although a bit reluctant.
Mars stepped away slowly, their fingers lingering together for a brief moment. When they finally let go she whispered just loudly enough for him to hear, "Be careful."
He winked at her again trying to hide the pain he was feeling at leaving her; before turning to face the others, clasping hands with Zoicite on the right and Nephlite on the left.
She fidgeted with her short red skirt as she watched them fade away. "Why do I have a feeling that you just lied to me, Jade," she whispered to the wind, dread eating away at her soul. There were times that she wished that she could control the feelings that she had and would be able to sort them out with some sort of vision.
She wasn't at all surprised when she felt a hand gently touch her shoulder. She felt the same touch when she was just a little girl, her first time on the moon. She knew that the princess and her prince were there. She slowly turned around fighting the tears that threatened to come. But at the sight of Serenity's soft caring blue eyes, one escaped her own.
Serenity opened her arms wide and Mars rushed into them, sobs racking her body. She looked up with watery eyes, for it hurt her so to see her friends suffer. Mars was the was the last one that she held in her arms after the generals left, but she was sure that all four would find their way to her again.
Endymion smiled softly at her, gently caressing her cheek before he turned to leave them alone. Letting his love work her magic by easing her friend's pain. He had a few plans to make regarding his own impending departure from the Moon anyway.
Less than a week later...
Sailor Mars watched in horror as Zoicite ran his sword through Mercury. "Amy!" she cried out, a tear slipping down her face for her dying friend. She wasn't sure what was worse, that her long-time friend was dying, or the fact that her love had betrayed her and was the one to do the deed.
"You better worry about yourself, Sailor Mars," a voice hissed behind her, sending chills up her spin.
Mars spun around to meet the cold, lifeless eyes of the man she adored. Her heart caught in her throat. "Jade?"
"My name is Jadeite."
'You lied to me, Jade,' she whispered in her mind. Tears began to flow down her cheeks as she stared at him in horror. "No, please no. Not you too, Jade."
"I told you, my name is Jadeite," he said, lashing out with his sword.
'You didn't come back as you promised,' she thought as she ducked and rolled, easily avoiding his attacks. "I am so sorry, my love," she whispered before standing, readying her attack.
"MARS CELESTIAL SURROUND!"
Fire shot from her fingertips to engulf him in flames, her heart screaming as she did it. He screamed out in agony, falling to his knees. Then looked up, a sinister smile crossed his face just before he plunged his sword into her chest to the hilt.
Clutching the silver tip, she fell to her knees in front of him, blood pouring from the wound, staining her white bodysuit red. Her violet eyes were still pleading with him. "Jade... please... come back to me." Then she collapsed completely on the ground, her life slowly slipping away with her blood.
Suddenly the gray flared out in his black eyes, Jadeite's soul reclaiming his body. "Raye?" He stared at her in horror for a moment, before gathering her bloody body in his arms. "Oh god, Raye..."
Raye's eyes fluttered open to focus on his face, she smiled a trembling smile as she recognized her love's soft voice. "It's alright, love," she soothed with a small voice, trying to lift her hand to touch his face, but it was just too heavy for her. "I... love... you..." she gasped out.
"And I love you," he whispered, he grabbed the hand that he saw her struggling with and placed it against his face. He could feel the tears pouring down his face as he stared at her. He knew that she was leaving him and there was nothing that he could do.
Raye smiled at him softly before she turned her head slightly looking towards the palace. "Serenity..." she breathed. Then her eyes met those of her princess, the one that she had indeed laid her life down for, just as she promised so long ago. "My friend..."
Serenity nodded, tears falling down her pale cheeks. "Yes, my friend," she answered, knowing that Raye would understand, even though she couldn't hear her. Her heart ached as she watched the last moments of her friend's life.
Raye smiled, hearing the words in her head. Then she looked up at Jadeite once more, caressing his face briefly before gasping her last breath and died in her beloved's arms.
"Noooo!" Jadeite screamed his misery. He pulled a knife from his boot and plunged in into his chest. He pulled Raye closer to him and held her until his life too slipped away. Wishing for anything that they would find each other in another life.
