CHAPTER 10
Serena woke the next morning late in the day. She had really been tired the night before to have slept till 10:00. She sat up and starched feeling the tightness of her muscles but no soreness. She noticed she still had the locket clutched in her hand and her ninja outfit on. The fabric was hard and crusty with her dry blood but she saw that there was no sign of the wound on her stomach. "I wonder why this thing only opens when Darien and I both touch it. And why does it help me heal so much quicker then normal?" she said to herself.
Serena got up from the bed and changed out of her ninja cloths. She showered washing off all the dry blood on her body and in her hair. After getting out, she changed into a skirt and t-shirt. She grabbed her green apron and walked out the door to the arcade to work.
Taking the long way threw the park, Serena didn't reach the arcade until 11:30 and she was still a half hour early. The bell rang as the doors slid open and she walked in. instantly she noticed the many people around, many of them her classmates. "Hey Andrew what's happening, are we having a party here or something," Serena asked walking to the counter.
"Well sort of, yes. It's a good thing you're early, someone's here to visit you," Andrew said smiling with an odd and goofy smile.
"You're up to something," she said slowly raising an eyebrow.
"Not me, him," Andrew said pointing a thumb at the person beside her.
Serena looked over to see Darien sitting there with almost the same smile Andrew had on. He sat there in his ugly green jacket looking at her. His hair had been done nice and he other wise looked great. "Darien?" she asked
"Serena I need to ask you something important," he said standing from the stool.
"What is it Darien," she asked.
Darien held something small in his hand and, to her amazement; he went down onto one knee. "Serena I know I'm three years older then you and we've only known each other for a few months, but I truly love you. You're the only woman for me Serena and I want to ask you one thing. Will you marry me," he asked holding out the small ring.
Tears formed in her eyes while she smiled. "Yes, I will Darien. I love you," she said. Darien slipped the ring onto her finger and she threw her arms around him hugging him. The crowd applauded and sheered congratulations to the couple.
The doors to the arcade opened unnoticed by the rest. Ruby red eyes scanned the crowd until they fell upon Serena. "Serena," the woman called from the doorway.
Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at the woman, even Serena. The woman had two sets of buns on her ether side of head similar to Serena's. The black hair trailed down to her feet and made the yellow sun dress stand out. Upon her forehead lay a mark that only Serena could see, a golden crescent moon mark.
After a minute of looking at her, Serena finally realized who she was. "Luna," Serena asked shocked.
With tears at the sides of her eyes, Luna nodded. "Yes Serena it's me," she said.
Serena ran over to her former pet cat and hugged her tightly. "I can't believe it Luna. Does this mean the curse is gone" Serena asked.
"Yes Serena, we're free," Luna told her nodding and smiling.
Serena's happy smile disappeared, "so does this mean you'll be leaving."
"No Serena, I'm staying. I'm going to live the rest of my life here with you. But the only way I can is to stay in cat form," Luna said.
"We can deal with that. I'm just happy that you're staying. I'd hate to loose my only living relative," Serena said. "Won't you stay for the party? Darien just asked me to marry him."
"No I can't. This human body won't last much longer. But I do have a gift for you." Luna leaned forward and pressed her forehead to Serena's. When she moved away, Serena had her own crescent moon mark on her head and it faded into her skin. "There are more secrets to learn about our family Serena. This is so you can still be a ninja and find them all out."
"Thank you Luna," Serena said smiling. They hugged once more and Luna left.
While they had been talking, the party had resumed but Darien kept his eyes on Serena. He saw them hug and then the saw the woman leave. He walked over to Serena, "who was that?"
"An old friend. I'll tell you later Darien," she said.
"Alright," Darien said. He raised his coffee above his head and tapped the side with a spoon. "I'd like to make a toast. To my soon to be wife, you shall always have family with me." Every one cheered again and drank down their drinks.
"Thank you Darien," Serena said.
"You're welcome. Did you happen to get a good look at your ring," he asked.
"No I didn't," she said. Serena raised the ring on her finger to eye level and looked at it carefully. Inscribed along the golden band was a short sentence. 'To my FMN, you stole something I hope to never get back, my heart.' "Oh Darien, that's so sweet," she said. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.
"Come on, fiancée. Let's go home," he said taking her hand.
"Yes, let's go," Serena said smiling.
