Tears of The Heart

Chapter 6

The Life Altering Decision

******************

Recap

**********************

Serena was in Darien's arms as she slept. She felt safe when she was in his arms. She turned around to face him with her eyes closed. She was about to drift back to sleep when the glass shattered near their bed. Serena jumped up and screamed and Darien woke up with a start. A green hand shot through the window and grabbed Darien. Serena screamed and grabbed onto Darien trying to hold him to her. But it was no use, the monster was stronger and it used its other hand to slap her into the wall. Serena groaned and sat up as she watched the monster take Darien's Spirit Crystal. He yelled as it was taken from him and his pain caused Serena to cry. She leaped up and tried to grab the crystal but the monster grabbed her. Serena yelled and cried as she touched the crystal with the tips of her fingers but was thrown away.

"DARIEN!!!!" Serena screamed as she saw him being lifted out the window, and soon vanished with the monster. Luna and Artemis had been standing there the whole time watching in dismay as Serena started to get hysterical. But as soon as the tears flowed they stopped. Serena stood up.

"I call upon the powers of the silver crystal. I need your help. Give me the strength that I will need for this battle. Give me the strength to kill our enemy and save my friends." Serena murmured with her eyes tightly closed.

"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!!!!!!!" Serena yelled. She transformed and was now Princess Serenity. Serena closed her eyes and raised the crystal above her head.

"Artemis, Luna, stay with Raye and watch her please. Make sure that nothing happens to her while I'm gone." Serena said. Then she closed her eyes again.

"MOON CRYSTAL TELEPORTAION!!!" Serena yelled and with a bright white glow, she vanished.

*************

"I have everyone that she loves. There is nothing that will stop her from loving me. Nothing." Stone said with a smile on his face.

"You're wrong!" Serena said as she appeared. She let the crystal vanish inside of her as she slowly walked over to Stone.

"You will give all of my friend's crystals back." Serena said with an edge to her voice. Serena looked over at the tables and saw her friends and Darien. All of them were still breathing.

"I don't think so Serenity." Stone said with a smile. He walked over to her and kneeled in front of her.

"Will you marry me?" he asked, taking her hand into his."

"No." Serena said taking her hand away from him. He got up and his eyes flashed.

"Fine. You hurt me, I hurt you." he said. He picked up a small case that held 5 Spirit Crystals in it. He raised it above his head and before Serena could react, he slammed it to the floor. Breaking every Crystal. Serena looked over to her friends and saw them all suddenly stop breathing.

End Recap

*********************

Serena's eyes got big. She walked past Stone and touched each and everyone of her friends. They were all not breathing. Serena started to cry when she touched Darien's cold hands.

"No! Darien, you promised you would never leave me. Don't leave me. Come back." Serena cried. She laid her head on his heart, wishing it to beat. Wanting to hear his familiar laugh when she tried and landed on his chest. She wanted to hear him talk to her she wanted to hear his heart beat. "Darien." Serena whispered. Her heart was heavy and she choked back the rest of her sobs. She placed a kiss on Darien's cold lips and turned back to Stone.

"How could you do this to me?" Serena whispered.

"Why Serenity, I had to." Stone said. He placed his hand on her face and she backed away from him.

"I will always hate you. I will never love you."

Stone looked at her and sighed. "You saw those pictures. You know that you belong to me.

"I don't believe those pictures. Why don't you take those pictures and shove them where the sun don't shine!!" Serena yelled. Stone grinned.

"Now Princess, please don't start to use foul language." Serena felt all of her rage that was bottled up inside of her. She slapped him across the face and his head snapped back.

"I HATE YOU!!" Serena yelled.

Stone grabbed her arms and pinned them at her side. "I tried to be nice to you Princess, but now you are pushing my last nerve! Look at your Prince. He's dead, and he will not be coming back. There's nothing you can do but be with me. Or I will pay a visit to your mother. I wonder if your brother Sammy would like to see how it would feel to be dead."

That last part made Serena's body go cold. She looked at him, her eyes large. "You unimaginable bastard!" Serena said with utter disgust as she tried to get out of his grasp. He pulled his face close and kissed her hard on the lips. Serena moved her body to get away but he wouldn't let her. She took a hold of his bottom lip and bit it. Stone yelled and backed away holding his lip. Before Serena could back up he struck her across the face.

Serena fell to floor, holding her cheek. She started to cry and Stone swore. "Why are you denying me? You friends and Darien are dead. You can't bring them back!"

Serena whipped her tears and thought about it.

Flashback

"Luna, is there anyway that a person can give off their energy to save the person who's Crystal has been broken?" Lita asked.

"Sure. But the person must be very strong to be able to withstand that major loss of energy." Luna said.

'That's what I'll do. I'll save them.' Serena thought to herself. She stood up and looked at Stone with hatred.

"You're wrong. I can save them. And I will save them. Even if it means killing myself."
