Disclaimer: I'm not even gonna bother with one. You already know the standard procedure: I don't own Sailor Moon. Unfortunately, someone got to Sailor Moon before I did and hit the jack pot because of it.

 

Chp. 1

 

Serena sighed as she looked outside the bedroom window. It had been like this for a month already. She had been confined to her bedroom with guards standing at the door. She was not allowed outside the room without permission, so her meals were brought to her daily.

 

Ever since Darien had become the prince, had had used her for his own purposes. He had mistresses daily, but his only use for Serena was that he was to marry her for more power, because she was the moon princess. For public appearances, he had his mistresses with him. But for more important business matters, he brought Serena with him.

 

She thought bitterly, “He only uses me for my background, not for who I am.”

 

But Darien had changed, once the two had loved each other…until he had changed.

 

Her senior year in high school was being wasted away because of her confinement.

 

No matter how hard Serena tried to forget him, she just seemed to be unable to. Whenever she saw him, she was mesmerized by his movements and his every word, but Darien treated her coldly and like trash. She was unresistant to his advances towards her.

 

The last time that he had kissed her, he had thrown her to the ground afterwards and kicked her.

 

“Serves you right, you slut!”

 

All she had done was ask the guard outside her room for something, but Darien had walked by at that moment. First, he had punished Serena, and then he made her watch as he had the guard tortured and killed.

 

“The only power he has over me is my virginity…”

 

That was the only reason he kept her. Rini had also come back from the future. She had taken Serena's place, by Darien's side. The minute that Rini came, Darien had discarded Serena to the side. Serena could still remember that day vividly.

 

******flashback****

 

For years and years, Serena had been with Darien. He commanded that at night, she slept in the same bed with him, so he could keep an eye on her. But he turned towards his mistresses for sex. It was never Serena, he coldly kept her at arms distance, like she was some type of infectious disease. The day that Rini had showed up in the throne room, had been the day that he had shunned her even more. It was as though he couldn't bear to look at her. He kicked her out of his bedroom and moved her into the East Wing of his palace.

 

The East Wing was isolated from the others. It was guarded by multiple guards. No one hardly ever entered the East Wing. That was Darien's purpose for putting Serena in there: no one would ever see her.

 

******end Flashback*******

 

Ever since that day, she had been locked up in the East Wing. She was only allowed out to go to school. The guards escorted her to school in the limo. Everywhere she turned, there was a guard. There was no chance of freedom or privacy. It wasn't possible.

 

The only people she was allowed to talk to were the Senshi. Everyday she trained with them, but she was not allowed to engage in actual combat. It was only the Senshi because it was their duty. Her duty was to remain a dutiful fiancée to Darien and to be the keeper of the crystal.

 

But she had grown more powerful in the past year. Every night, she trained secretly on her own, because she knew that she couldn't rely on the Senshi anymore to protect her in times of trouble. They were loyal to Darien now. When Darien had captured Serena, he had forced the Senshi to sign an oath. The terms of the oath, made the Senshi loyal to Darien and only him.

 

Serena was now an expert in swordsmanship, martial arts, and with guns. She also had adapted her power to the elements of the Senshi: fire, earth, wind, lightning, and more. Any day now, if she had to, she could drain the Senshi's powers if they became a threat towards her. After all, where had they gotten their powers from? From her, of course.

 

From the day that Rini had come, Serena's fears had been confirmed: that Darien didn't love her anymore. He only kept her for the sole purpose of marrying her and for her to produce heirs for him. He even had taken away Artemis and Luna from her and Mina to use them as his advisors. It was disheartening to see Luna being used against her, because Luna knew most of her secrets. But they weren't secrets anymore.

 

“Darien knew…Everything.”

 

It didn't matter to her any more. She was still comforted by the fact that he had once loved her and could maybe turn to her again, when he had no one else.

 

Before she had met Darien, she had felt lost. In her schoolwork, in her training, with her friends.

 

“Until then…I was just running with blinders on…through a dark tunnel…heading toward a light at the end. But that light was only a portal…to a vast, empty and lonely space. That's truly what scared me.”

 

But that had been long ago. The first time that he had brought her to a business meeting, he had forgotten her for more important matters and for another woman.

 

“He got me all worked up…but I came second to his precious power! He forgot all about me. Or does he just see me as a talking mannequin?”

 

A sudden knock on the door, snapped her out of her thoughts. Darien walked in and threw the package at her feet.

 

“Open it.”

 

She unwrapped it and found a dazzling dress.

 

“Put in on. There's a meeting with the Lord Alan and his lovely sister, Lady Anne.”
