Change of Heart

There were so many conflicting thoughts going through Serenity's head as she tried to sort out the events of the previous night. Nothing made sense. She hugged her legs closer to her body as a cool breeze washed over her. The garden at the Kaiba mansion had become a home away from home for Serenity. She loved the smell of flowers and all the beautiful colours and the flowers were all still in full bloom since it was only the beginning of September. Her mind drifted to thoughts of Joey she missed her big brother dearly. He was probably in school right now. She laughed inwardly at the thought of Joey in school. "Probably getting another detention for sleeping in class," thought Serenity. "If only there was some way of seeing him everyday." "I will have to think of something." "Mistress Serenity.Mistr." came the voice of a very distressed maid. "I thought I told you not to call me that. Just call me Serenity," with an exasperated sigh as she turned her head towards the direction of the voice.

"Yes mistress Serenity. Master Kaiba has returned and has requested your presence in his office." "Tell him if he wants to talk to me he can come to me." "Y-yes mistress," said the maid in obvious fear at the thought of having to talk to Kaiba again. Seeing the maids' involuntary shutter made Serenity feel sorry for her, "Wait. I will go myself," said Serenity as she rose to her feet and smoothing down her clothes. She made the now familiar trek up the solid marble steps, her hand running up the smooth metal banister. Inwardly she shivered the mansion had always given her the creeps. "If only he added more colour it wouldn't be so cold," she noted inwardly.

She finally came the landing on the second floor, were she faced a row or metal doors. The shiver grew stronger the closer she got to Kaiba. Serenity wanted nothing to do with him. "Pull it together Serenity you're stronger than this. Whatever you do don't loose control again. Look at me I'm even talking to myself." Serenity walked to the end off the hall and using her last ounce of resolve she pushed the door open.

Seto watched as the metal door to his office slowly swung open. He had been sitting in his office trying to finish some work before Serenity arrived but had found it hard to focus. He did know how to tell her that they would be together.forever. He watched as she walked into the room he knew every intimate detail about her. He knew that under that shy exterior she was filled with passion, and lust, and love, and anger. He had felt it. He had felt her. And he knew.he knew that every moment she spent with him she was slowly dying inside, just like he had all those years ago.

"You wanted to see me?" questioned Serenity. "I'm not going to try to keep this from you. You have a right to know. We found the salesman's assistant.or rather he found us," said Seto looking up briefly to catch a glimmer of hope in Serenities eyes." "There is no way to get the collars off.ever." Stated Seto emotionlessly watching as the glimmer of hope left Serenity's eyes, and was replaced by something else. He was expecting tears he had been wrong.

Anger erupted through Serenity. She wanted to kill the Salesman but most off all she wanted to kill Kaiba. He had done this to her. He took her life from her and kept it for himself. He took her. Suddenly she felt dirty for all the things they had done. He had done. She had done. She couldn't breathe everything was spinning out off control. She needed to get out of there; the room swam around her, "away" was all she could think of. Serenity ran out of the room down the marble steps and out the front door. She didn't have the slightest idea of where she was going all she knew was that she had to get away. "Far far away," was the only thing echoing through her mind. She could think of nothing else. There was nothing else to Serenity. Just the pain. "So much pain." She looked up to see she was just outside the train station. A smile spread across her face, "away." She made a bee-line straight for the ticket station and bought a ticket with all the money she had on her. She boarded the train without a second thought, tears staining her face.

He hadn't been expecting that kind of reaction.

"I just let her be alone and work it out herself. On second thought, Nicholas," inquired Kaiba over the intercom. Send someone after Serenity to make sure she's okay but remember to give her some space. I don't want anything to happen to her it is in my best interest that she is in good heath." "Right away master Kaiba."

Seto sat in silence for a while eventually getting up out of his seat and pacing around his room. Serenity had not taken the news very well. To make things worse he felt sick to his stomach coupled with an incredible need to be with Serenity. Suddenly a feeling of dread passed over Seto. "He walked to a console and punched a number hastily into the console. "Nicolas. Where is she. Where is Serenity?" yelled an angry Seto as he leapt up out of his chair. A calm voice replied, "I'm sorry Master Kaiba. It appears we had lost her. I have already taken appropriate measures and have alerted the authorities." A growing dread filled Seto. "Get her back. NOW." Seto slammed his fists on the desk as another wave of nausea over took him leaving him desperately trying to keep his lunch. So many thoughts were racing through his mind he hated not being in control, he hated having to rely on someone so much, and most of all he hated her.

Serenity stared unwaveringly out the train window. Her attention was focused on her thoughts as the train passed through various towns and cities. "Get away.away.away." Her lips mouthed the words soundlessly. "Ahem.miss. Miss. Miss. Hello?" questioned the attendant as he shook Serenity out of her daze. "Miss I need to see your ticket." Serenity barely acknowledged the man as she reached slowly into her pocket. She handed him her ticket and turned back to the window without a word. "Away." "Sorry miss I didn't here you, what did you say?" asked the attendant. It was no use Serenity was lost in her thoughts again. The attendant just put her ticket back on her lap shook his head and continued on down the isle to his next destination. Serenity's mind barely registered her surroundings, staring blindly out the window, her mind a complete blank save her one thought of getting away. A few hours later the train jerked to a stop for the third time she felt a hand on her arm trying to get her attention. "Miss. Miss. It's your stop. Miss." Serenity turned her head to the direction of the voice but did not look up. She got to her feet and exited the train and was greeted by the sights and smells of an unfamiliar city. She looked around the train platform to busy, to many smells, to bright, to loud. Her head was pounding furiously and the world around her swam. She staggered forward slowly at first then broke out into a run as she felt a wave of nausea wash over her. She ran down the platform until she found a washroom. Everything was spinning to fast and nothing was making sense. She felt he cold tile under her knees and hands as she knelt in front of the dirty toilet.

"Hey man you got that bitch good last night didn't you," laughed a deep voice from outside the stall. That was the last thing Serenity heard before she blacked out.

"Hey man, look at this looks like little red ridding hood lost her way to grandma's house." "Well then I guess we will have to teach her a lesson about wolves."
