It was nearly three a.m. and all was silent, peaceful...or so it seemed. In a dark alleyway two shadowy figures met. The darkness obscured all sense of sight and to any possible onlooker; it would seem only two silhouettes stood there. Distinguishing characteristics were nil and only their body shapes proved both to be males. Their voices were low, inaudible even in the still silent night. Firelight from a Zippo lighter flashed into sight as the lighter was lit. Ice blue eyes pierced through the night, and scrutinized the faintly glowing grotesque face inches away from their own. The owner of the piercing ice blue eyes blinked and grunted before the lighter went out, he passed the other man an envelope, obviously satisfied at who he had seen.

Serena looked from her position of the floor to the faces of her friends hovering over her. Her body was still shaking and her hands were cold but never the less, she was determined to hold her head high, she wasn't going to be afraid anymore. "Dennis...D-Denny...he...he was..."

Mina put her hands on Serena's shoulders firmly and looked into her sisters eyes. She saw fear there, fear and something else... "Shh, It's okay...you don't have to do this Sere, you don't!" Serena shook her head soundly, her mind made up. Mina's gaze delved into the depths of Serena's being, her eyes like open doors. Fear, she definitely saw fear...and determination. She backed away, realizing she couldn't stop her sister from reopening her past...their past, she was determined and nothing could change that.

Darien slept on, his dreams plagued with more visions of that mysterious girl. It once again was nighttime and stars filled the velvet black sky, all was peaceful and silent. He could feel himself walk but knew he did not make himself move, he could hear himself hum but he was not humming. Strangely, this didn't startle him too much. His mind wandered, wondering what on earth was happening. He was walking through a maze of dimly-lit corridors, finely furnished decorations hung on the walls and elaborate designs graced the carpet under foot. He did not know where he was off to, but it seemed that at the back of his mind he did. He continued walking and soon stopped at a pair of double white doors. Placing his hand on the gold doorknob, he slowly opened itr and walked inside, closing the door silently behind him. The room was enormous and brightly lit, ornate draperies hung low over the windows and elegant mirrors adorned the gleaming white walls. He walked through the main sitting room into its right adjoining room to find that mysterious girl from before sitting at a gold, mirrored vanity stand. She sat gracefully in a gold trimmed, pillowed chair and was looking intently into her mirror. As he entered the room, the young girl turned her head to face him and he gasped.

"Endymion, what are you doing here? You know your people are forbidden to come here!" she said worriedly as she looked up at her love.

His fists clenched tightly, she was so beautiful and yet she had been bruised again. Her silver hair hung loosely down over her body, creating a cocoon of silver around her. Lightly golden skin and seductive lips accompanied by angelic cerulean blue eyes filled his vision as he looked at the angel in front of him. Waves of emotions washed over him. Love, lust and happiness and yet at the same time he felt an overwhelming amount of anger and hurt as his gaze drifted to the bruise and scratch on her chin and the multitude of bruises on her throat. "Serenity, I vowed that if he ever hurt you again he would meet the end of his days. NOW, is the end of his time!" he managed to say through gritted teeth, as he turned on his heel and stalked out of the room.

 

"No! Endymion, no please! You don't understand!" she pleaded with her love as she followed after him, flinging herself into his arms and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Endymion, no please. You don't understand, don't do this!" she pleaded once more as her beloved ran his hand through her hair.

"I know Mina, I know...but I have to." Serena told her sister then looked back to her friends. "Dennis James was my fathers brother, my uncle. Twelve years ago, when I was ten, something strange happened...something I can't explain and it caused him to be caught by the FBI and he was sent to Jail." the blonde told her friends, "This strange happening, it's fuzzy in my mind now and had been right after it happened. I was sent to many therapists and psychologists yet no one could explain it and soon I was known by my town as an eccentric."

Lita's eyes were wide open, "Why was he sent to Jail?" she asked uncertainly.

"He...he...h-he..." Serena took a few deep breaths, "He was a r.... a murderer. The police had been after him for over eleven years. Something I did, something I can't explain...caused him to get caught." Serena heard her friends gasp, and tried to steel her body, her nervous system, before she lost the will, the edge to continue. She failed, he body shook even more uncontrollably and ice crept through her insides. She froze. Her eyes glazed over, resembling blank mirrors. Her heart pounded violently in her chest and her lungs burned for air but she could not breathe. She fell from her sitting position on the floor, and now laid crumpled on the floor, writhing in pain. Minutes went by and finally she had stopped, she laid on the floor; her body still and her eyes wide open. She was not breathing and her eyes were blank. Her friends knelt at her sides, fearing the worst for her friend. Not knowing what had happened and not knowing what to do.

Darien was wrenched from his dream and sat up in a cold sweat. His heart was beating fast and his breathing was labored. He wasn't sure why, but he knew it wasn't from the dream. Something was wrong. He had no clue how he knew, but something was very wrong. He felt as if something was pulling at him as he got out of bed and put his clothes on. Feeling as if someone was pushing him out of his apartment and guiding him somewhere, Darien looked up and realized he was standing in front of an apartment door, in a building that looked nothing like his own, Wasn't I just in my apartment a moment ago? he asked himself.

 

"Oh please wake up! Please!" he heard a female voice plead faintly from behind the door. Without a moments thought he opened the door and walked inside. Screams came from the occupants of the room as he pushed himself through the abundant amount of pillows and junk to where a young woman was lying on the floor, seemingly dead. "Serena!" he gasped, hurrying over to the still form on the floor.

 

"Serena?" Lita repeated, holding a frying pan over the man's head off, ready to bring it down onto his skull.

"You know Serena?" Raye asked as she looked up at his from her position on the floor next to her friend.

"Yes, yes I do. I'm Darien. Andrew's friend." he told the girls as he knelt next to Serena and took her hand in his. They gasped as Serena tightened her grip on his hand and life came back to her eyes. She looked up at her sister and followed her gaze to the young man holding her hand.

"D-Darien?" she stated in amazement. Where'd he come from?! She wondered frantically, and for a second a vision flashed in her mind. She saw the mysterious man from her dream. They were so different and yet, they had some similarities. She wondered no more, as she became dizzy and fainted again.

At least this time she's breathing! Amy thought as she looked over her friend. There seems to be nothing wrong with her...all of this must have just taken it's toll on her... All five people sat around Serena, waiting for her to awaken.

 

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

 

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!
