Knocking sounded on Serena's apartment door. The girls all fell to a hush, trying not to giggle as they quickly got ready. The light was shut off, they were now in total darkness. The doorknob turned slightly and the door inched open. Giggles and one loud shriek filled the entire apartment and filtered through the open door into the hallway as the blue-haired figure stumbled through the doorway, her hands shielding her head from the barrage of pillow blows. "Hehehe, come here Amy, we have plans for you!" came Lita's voice as two strong hands seized her by the wrists and yanked her farther into the apartment, the door slammed shut after her. Once again the barrage of pillows attacked Amy on all sides. The lights came on giving Amy the privilege to see her attackers. Serena, Lita and Raye stood in a triangle around her with pillows in there hands, she risked a look towards to door and saw Mina standing there grinning. She quickly scanned the room and a smile appeared on Amy's face as her eyes landed on the pillow at her feet. {It must have been Mina's.} she thought happily as she realized Mina hadn't been holding a pillow at the light switch. Quickly bending down and grabbing the pillow Amy let loose some blows of her own against her three assailants. The giggles rose again as they battled it out, three against one; a losing battle no doubt.

Darien sat at his kitchen table, his feet propped up lazily. He slowly sipped at his coffee, yawning loudly as he read the newspaper. Time had passed somewhat slowly though before he knew it was quite late; small things had distracted him, the filter in his fish tank, the whirr of his clothes dryer, the ticking of his clock, the sirens of an ambulance...but he had just ignored it all, determined to have one afternoon to himself. Darien read another article in his newspaper, "Disgusting." he grunted, his eyes drooping slightly. He knew he wouldn't be able to stay awake much longer.

 

------------------------------------------------------

 

All five girls laid around, their eyelids half closed, their breathing heavy. "Man! Who knew a pillow fight could take so much outta you!" Mina giggled.

 

"Yeah, I feel like I just ran a marathon!" Serena panted.

 

"No surprise there, Serena!" Raye laughed, looking around at her four friends.

 

"You're so mean Raye!" Serena whined, tears stinging her eyes a bit.

 

"Raye, you know how easily Serena gets upset!" chastised Amy.

 

"Shh… calm down Serena, you know she didn't mean it." Lita assured her friend, "hey, what would you say to some super strawberry milkshakes?".

 

"Say? What would I say?" Serena grinned, "I'd say, I'm first!!" she giggled hysterically as all five girls raced into the kitchen.

 

------------------------------------------------------

 

It was nighttime and Darien felt a cool breeze drift through his hair as he walked through a beautiful rose garden no not a garden, a maze! (What's with the clothes?) he thought looking down at himself, he was clad in all black with an amazing blade attached to his hip, armor adorned his shoulders. (Strange...) he thought as he wondered where he was. He seemed as if from another time all together. He looked at the walls of the maze around him, tall forest green bushes with deep crimson red roses. It was as if he were in a dream. "Endymion!" her heard a female voice call quietly, he felt himself turn to see the form of a young woman appear out of the shadows, as if from no where. "Ah! Serenity, my love! It's too long since I've last held you in my arms." He heard himself say as he gathered the young woman and led her out of the shadows and into the moonlight. {What's going on, I have no control over what I do!} he wondered in slight panic, {This isn't normal...} He stood next to her, admiring the sight of her turned body as she stood sideways, drinking her in. He hear himself gasp as she turned to face him, "Darling, it's happened again..." his voice stated forlornly, gently running his thumb and forefinger over the purple swelling around her eye and the scratches on her cheek, "What happened this time?" he gritted out, struggling to control himself as a wave of blinding anger swept over him and he listened to his only love tell her horrible story. {My only love?...I must be feeling the feelings of this person...}"But it will be gone by morning...as usual..." he heard her say to herself more than to him, her eyes glazed over, blank; no doubt remembering her newest hellacious experience. A tear escaped her eye and drifted down over her cheek. "Shhh...it'll be okay love..." Darien heard himself comfort the girl in his arms, as his body bent over and kissed her few tears away.

The lights were out and lit candles surrounded the living room, Serena and her friends sat quietly in a circle surrounding her coffee table. In the middle of the coffee table sat Amy's old Ouija board. Serena placed her hands on the watch glass of the ouija board, the hands of her friends followed. They each closed their eyes and took a few deep breaths, opening their eyes, they watched as the watch glass began to move.

 

D - A - N - G - E - R

 

"Danger? Who's in danger? What kind of danger?" Raye breathed heavily

 

P - U - P - P - E - T

 

Serena's eyes widened, a panic tried to seize her. The watch glass continued to move, slowly it continued on.

 

D - E - N - N - I - S

 

Serena's eyes went wide in terror, the panic seizing her in it's icy grips. Her breathing came in small soundless gasps but went unnoticed as everyone's eyes were still glued to the ouija board.

 

Lightning struck outside, lighting up the room as an eerie silence kept all eyes on the ouija board. Thunder crashed waking everyone from their trance. "Who do you think Puppet is?" Lita asked lightly as she looked around at her equally started friends, but none seemed more so than Serena. Her wide eyes held a glazed over, blank look, her face was terror stricken and her body was shaking.

 

"P-pp-puppet..." Serena stammered, "Come here my little puppet." she whispered, still entranced. She was visably shaking now, "N..n..n-no...p-p-please...n-no...n-no u-uncle D-Denny." She pleaded helplessly, tears falling down her puffy pink face as she convulsed on the floor.

 

"Serena! Oh no! Serena!" Raye called to her best friend worriedly

 

Amy was there in a flash, feeling her head and checking her pulse. "Quick, somebody get me some ice!" she commanded hurriedly; grabbing a pillow from the leather couch and placing it under Serena's head.

 

Mina rushed to Amy's side with an ice pack, a look of worry and dread on her face as she looked down at her little sister. {This can't be happening!} she thought frantically; gazing into her sisters terror-stricken face.

 

{Come on Serena wake up! Please!}, Raye called to her friend in her mind, her fingers lightly smoothing out her bangs as Amy held the icepack to Serena's forehead.

 

An eerie silence crept over the apartment as time slowly passed onward, the four friends all crowded around Serena; hoping, wishing, praying that she'd be okay.

 

After what seemed like an eternity, Serena stirred. Her fingers moved and her eyelids slowly fluttered open allowing her to look up into the equally startled faces of her friends. She knew there was no escaping it now; she'd have to tell...

 

=========================================================

 

Authors Note: First off, I changed the name of Serena's uncle from Andrew to Dennis when I realized that there'd be two Andrew's in this story and such a thing might make others confused. Other than that, nothing has been changed. Second, a very big THANK YOU goes to Krystal for your very nice reviews. Third...What's you guys think of the newest chapter? Was is okay? Do you think it's getting better? I hope you think so, I'm not even into the main stuff yet but it's getting there! It will still take a while. Anyway, please review me!
