Title: Stalkers Anonymous
Rating: A High Pg-13 (Violence, Language)
HI! Me again. I hope you like this one. Some might think it's mean or cruel, but it happens! People do things like this for these reasons. High school bombings and stuff like this happen for these reasons. It's kind of weird and was stuck in my head. I will probably get a lot of flames for it but that's okay. There is a lot of truth to it. Enjoy!
A group of guys sat around laughing
and joking in amidst of the smoke hanging in
the air around them. They were all drunk and
obviously high on something. The seven sat
around looking at pictures of teenage girls
that were spread all over the room. They
were the Stalkers Anonymous group.
Already they had stalked and killed four girls
for Juuban Jr. High school. They celebrated
because they were now wanted in all of Japan
and were very excited.
"That last kill was a beauty! She was
screaming and hollering like nothing you've
ever heard!" One of them cried out, snorting
as he laughed.
"Yeah, but who should do the next kill?"
Asked one as he took a long draw of his crack
and sighed.
"I will." Spoke a voice. They looked at him.
"You sure your up to it?" called the leader of
the group. "Your just a rookie."
"I can do it." He reached down and pulled out
a picture of a young, blonde girl with her hair
done up in pigtails with buns. Her blue eyes
gazed into his through the picture. He
smiled to himself.
"This one." They all looked at his choice and
nodded in agreement. He smiled.
"Serena Tuskino, you are my victim.
Serena was walking down her sidewalk
after school. For once she didn't have
detention and was happy about it. One more
day with hearing Ms. H talk about her life
being so boring because she didn't have a
boyfriend she thought she might go crazy.
There hadn't been many yoma attacks lately
and that made her happy. More time for
Darien! She walked up to her house and
stopped to check the mail. There were a few
bills, a letter to her mother from her
grandparents and a letter for her. She looked
at it strangely. It just had her name sprawled
across it with no return address. She opened
it up and read it.

She didn't know at all what this meant. It
made absolutely NO sense! The symbol at the
bottom looked like a heart with vines weaved around and through it. It looked familiar but
she didn't know from where. She walked in
and showed it to her mother.
"Maybe it's a poem, from a secret admirer!"
She dragged out the admirer part and Serena
rolled her eyes.
"Mother, I HAVE a boyfriend, thank you very
much!" She said sticking her nose up in the
air. Her mother shook her head and laughed.
" I know that, Serena, but many boys can still
like you. Your very attractive...at least, when
you're not klutzing out or saying something
air headed." Her mother said playfully.
"Ohhhhhhh! If you didn't have such great
cooking, I'd slug you right now!" She
shouted back at her mother. She ran up the
stairs into her room and called Amy.
"Anderson residence."
"Hey Ames!"
"Oh, Hi, Serena!"
"So what are you doing?"
"Just studying for next month's test."
"Why would you do a thing like that?"
"I'm behind."
"Oh. Say Ames I just got this letter and it's
really weird."
"Who's it from?"
"I don't know. There's no return address or
name."
"What does it say?"
"Even Returning In City, A Never Done,
History Is Seen, Going And Not Going,
Answers Real Enduring, Will Always Take
Care Here In Nothing Gone, You'll Only
Understand."
"Hmmmm. Sounds like a poem or
something."
"Yeah I know, but it's kind of weird."
"Maybe someone put it in the wrong mail
box."
"Maybe...no that can't be. It had my name on
it."
"Well, I don't know. IT just might be nothing.
I gotta go now. More studying to do!"
"Bye Ames."
"Bye, Serena." Serena hung up the phone and
sighed.
"Oh well. Better do my homework. Nothing
else to do." So in one of it's many rare
moments, Serena did her homework. The
whole time thinking about the letter.
Suddenly the phone rang.
"S-E-R-E-N-A! Telephone! Chirped her
mother's voice.
"Got it! Hello."
"Hey, Serena." Her heart stopped. She had
heard that smooth, soft voice before.
"St...Stanton?" she stammered out.
"Yeah."
"Oh my gosh! HI! How are you?"
"Pretty good. Listen girl I can't talk long. I just
got in town and will be staying here for a
little while and wanted to call you and let
you know that I will be looking for you and
want to see you, K?" Serena nodded.
"Yeah, sure."
"How long has it been?"
"Since summer camp? Oh... Two years
maybe." She heard him chuckle.
"Yeah, two years of agony without you."
Serena blushed. "Well, I'll see ya around k?"
"K! BYE!"
"Bye!" Serena hung up the phone. She hadn't
seen her old friend Stanton for about two
years. She couldn't wait to see him. But, she
hoped Darien wouldn't get jealous, which he
never did. Usually. She walked over to her
bed and laid down on it. The sun was setting
and she watched the purples and oranges
and reds blend together in a rainbow of
colors. She smiled and realized that that was
how she felt with Darien. Beautiful and
mysterious. Her mother called her down for
some dinner. She raced downstairs for food.
"Who was that?" She asked curiously.
"Stanton."
"STANTON?"
"Uh huh."
"Really."
"Yep."
"This conversations getting far."
"Yep."
"I just told your teacher that you wouldn't be
coming back to school forever."
"REALLY!?!?!?!"
"No. But it got your attention."
"GRRRRR!" Her mother laughed.
"So, when are you going to see him?" Serena
thought for a moment.
"I...I didn't ask when." Her mother sighed
and rolled her eyes. "He said he'd call back
though." Her mother nodded and went back
to eating dinner.
"Where's, Rini?" Serena asked.
"Spending the night at her friends for the next
few days. Project and sleep over."
"You spoil her so bad."
**The Next Day**
Serena walked to the Arcade happily to
meet her friends. She was beaming as she
walked in and saw her friends sitting at the
table drinking cokes and stuff. Amara and
Michelle was there which surprised her, but
she was happy that they came. They had a
milkshake waiting for her. She sat down. She
sipped her drink and kind of zoned out.
"....na...Serena....SERENA!"
"WHAT!" She jumped as Raye yelled in her
ear.
"Took you long enough."
"You totally zoned out on us."
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Well, two years ago I went to summer camp.
I met a guy there named Stanton. We became
close friends and were almost boyfriend and
girlfriend. But he lived on the other side of
Japan so I couldn't really talk to him or see
him. It was a tearful goodbye. He called me
last night and is in Tokyo! I am just so
excited." The girls smiled but Raye frowned.
"What about Darien?"
"What about him?"
"Have you bothered to tell him that your "Ex
-boyfriend" is in town and wants to see you?"
"No."
"Don't you think Darien just might want to
know?"
"Know what?" Came a deep voice from
behind them. They jumped and slowly
turned to see Darien behind them. He had his
arms crossed in front of his chest, an eyebrow
cocked, and tapping his foot impatiently.
"Nothing!" They said simultaneously and
turned back to drinking their drinks in
silence. He sighed. He sat down next to
Serena and looked at her. She slowly turned
her head to look at him. He stared at her with
interest. She sighed in defeat.
"Darien, and old boyfriend is coming to town
and I wan to see him." He looked surprised at first and then smiled.
"Is that what you were hiding from me?"
"Yes, I thought you'd get upset."
"I'm not. You see I trust you. Not him. So I
want to meet him too."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." He smiled and leaned over and
kissed her. The girls sighed.
"I wish I had a guy as understanding as
Darien." Said Mina.
"I wish I had a GUY!" They all burst out
laughing. They soon left after a good half
hour of gossip. Darien walked Serena home.
They walked into her house to see Stanton
and a strange boy sitting on the couch.
"STANTON!" He turned and his face light up
when he saw her.
"Serena!" He stood up and ran to her. She
threw her arms around him and gave him a
great bear hug.
"Oh my GOD! STANTON! How did you find
where I lived?"
"I have my ways." He said with a sly smile.
She just laughed and hugged him tighter.
Darien cleared his throat a little louder than
usual. Serena turned to see Darien. Jealousy
danced in his eyes.
"Stanton, this is my..."
"Her boyfriend, Darien." He held out his
hand and shook his hand with a force that
said 'you even so as hurt a hair on her head, I
will kick the @&*# out of you'. He looked at
little scared of him and looked at Serena. She
grabbed his arm.
"Why don't we all go upstairs and talk.
Stanton looked over at the guy that had come
with him.
"You okay right here, Eric?" The boy nodded
and smiled. Serena, Stanton, and Darien
walked upstairs to her room.
"So Stanton, how exactly did you find your
way here?"
"You know that kid down there, Eric? He said
you were a classmate of yours and knew
where you lived. So I drove him so her could
show me where you lived. Your Mom went
Crazy, let us both in, and attacked us with
sweets. Your Mom's a good cook." Serena
smiled widely.
"How do you like my room?" He looked
around and saw that is had been painted
blue, sponge painted, and stars and moons
had been stenciled on the walls. Darien
looked around to.
"It's pretty." They both said simultaneously. They looked at each other and both cracked a
grin.
"And you haven't seen the view! I see the
sunset perfectly." Darien and Serena walked
over to the window.
"Do you like it? Stanton?" She turned around.
He walked over.
"It's just like on lake Kunjri ." Serena nodded
and smiled. After awhile of talking Stanton
had to leave. He gave her a great big hug as
he left. He whispered in her ear as he left.
"I'll come back, don't worry." She smiled and
watched him go with Eric. Darien and Serena
ran up stairs. They sat on the bed talking
awhile.
"Serena, what is this?" She looked over and
saw a small envelope in Darien's hand. It just
had her name sprawled on it. Just like the
letter before. She opened up.

-We will-
It just had the same symbol at the bottom like
the last on had. Darien saw her face turn
slightly pale.
"What is it?" She handed him the letter. He
read it. "Sounds like a demented poem."
"I... I have another one." He looked at her.
"Just like this?" She shook her head. She
pulled out the other note and read it.
" They have to same symbol at the bottom.
Same twisted way."
"Darien, I think I might be being stalked." He
looked at her worriedly.
"Do... Do you want me to stay?" She shook
her head.
"No, I'll be okay."
"Promise me something."
"What?"
"If you get another one of these...call the
police, okay?" She nodded. He smiled and
leaned foreword and kissed her. "I don't want you to get hurt." She smiled.
"I'll be okay." He smiled and left. She got
dressed for bed and stared at the moon. She
slowly fell asleep into a dreamless night.
**The next afternoon**
"S-E-R-E-N-A! You have mail!" Her mother
called her in a singsong voice. After shopping
all day she was really tiered and was hard to
move.
"COMING!" She slowly got up and walked
downstairs. She grabbed her mail from her
mother. A magazine, junk mail, junk mail,
and an envelope with her name sprawled
across it. Her hand trembled as she held the
envelope in her hand. She slowly opened it.
Same symbol at the bottom, same twisted
style.

It was long than all the others. She felt tears
run down her face. He mother walked in.
"Serena what is wrong?" She handed her
mother the letters and stared the blankly at
the wall.
"I think I am being stalked, mom." Her
mother looked at her and then grabbed the
phone to call the police.
"Who could it be?" Darien held Serena close
to him. Everyone came over when Serena's mom called the police.
"Do you know anyone, anyone at all who
would do this?" The Police asked. Serena
shook her head. Darien stared silently at the
wall.
"Stanton." He said plainly. All looked at him.
"WHAT!?!"
"He had all the right motives. Serena started
to get the letters when HE came into town.
He was in her room and we turned our back
on him, he could have easily place a note on
her dresser, and his name is on the last note.
It has to be him. It's so obvious." All stared at
him. Realization came over them all. It was
him! He had all the perfect chances.
"Does anyone know where he is?" Serena and
Darien nodded.
"At the Tokyo Hotel, room 565." The police
left and went after Stanton. An hour later
they received a call saying that Stanton was
in custody and there was nothing to worry
about. All her friends and Darien stayed at
her house. Darien was going to spend the
night in the guest room to make sure Serena
was okay. Her father actually agreed! Amy
was quiet the whole time.
"Serena?" Amy asked as she was about to
leave.
"Yes?"
"Do you have a copy of all the letters you
were sent?"
"Yes."
"Can I have them, please?" Serena nodded,
confused.
"Why?" she asked as she handed them to her.
"I just want to do some research."
"Okay, good bye, you guys!"
"BYE!"
**The next afternoon**
Darien was up in Serena's room lying on her
bed. He was really sleepy and Serena could
tell. He had spent most of the night making
sure she was okay. Her parents had left to go
to a banquet across town. Her father made it
pretty clear that nothing "bad" should
happen. When he said that it made them both
turn bright red. She gently stroked his hair
and soon he fell asleep. She smiled as she
watched him sleep. He looked so cute like
that. She realized that she was hungry and
looked at the clock and saw that it was almost
Three O'clock. She ran downstairs quietly to
get a snack.
Amy sat her desk going through Serena's
letters. She had a gut feeling that Stanton
wasn't the stalked. It just made no sense. She
knew there was a code to it and she didn't
know how to break it. She had tried
everything. Every other word, last letter ,
middle letter, every other letter, nothing
worked. She was about to quit when she
realized something. On the first note, if you
added to first letter of every word that was
on one line it spelt out a word. She quickly
deciphered the first note. It said;
Eric and his gang are watching you
Eric? Who was he? Then she remembered. He
was in their class at school. He told Stanton
where Serena lived. He was downstairs at
the time when the Second letter appeared. He
could have put it there! She quickly figured
out the second one.
We will kill you Serena, we will
It sent chills up her spine. Serena was in
Danger! There still was a third one. She read
it and gasped as she figured it out.
No one will help you
Stanton cannot
Eric will kill you tomorrow at three
Be watching and waiting
She looked at the clock. It was quarter after
three! She call Serena's house as quick as she
could and prayed she wasn't too late.
Serena walked over to her refrigerator. She
opened the door and search for something to
eat. Suddenly a hand came around and
slapped a cloth with chloroform on it over
her mouth and nose and an arm around her
waist. Eric held it there until she passed out
in his arms and smiled evilly in triumph.
Darien awoke to the phone ringing off the
hook. He picked it up in a groggy voice
answered it.
"Hello?"
"Darien, it's Amy. Is Serena with you?" She
sounded panicky. He looked around for her.
"I don't know, hold on." He took the phone
with him down stairs. The Refrigerator door
was swinging open. Her front door was open.
On the table there was a message written on a
pad of paper. He picked it up and read it.
We got her. She is ours. Don't try to find her.
You never will.
-Stalkers Anonymous-
He stared at the paper in disbelief. His vision
got all blurry.
"Darien? DAREIN!?!" He could hear Amy
screaming through the phone. He slowly
lifted it up to his ear.
"They got her." He said slowly, calmly, and
yet terrifyingly at to same time. He didn't
know how three little words could make
someone break down, but Amy did. After a
while of silence she spoke to him.
"We have to talk to Stanton."
"Why?"
"He might know where they took her."
"I'll meet you at the Police station. Bring the
girls." And he hung up. He ran for his coat,
and locked the door. He went off to the police
station praying that Stanton would know.
Darien ran in and grabbed the nearest officer.
"I need to talk to Stanton Perst."
"Is he a prisoner?"
"Yes. It's really urgent." He didn't know he
was screaming, cause the police officer told
him to lower the decibels.
"Okay, calm down." He led him to a small
room. A piece of glass separated the
Prisoners from the people they were talking
with. Darien sat down and waited
impatiently. Stanton came in hand cuffed and
sat down at the opposite side. He looked at
Darien oddly. He could have sworn hate
passed through his eyes. Stanton's features
turned cold and hard.
"Stanton, I know you are innocent."
"It's a little late to say that, don't you think?
How could you have ever thought I would
do something like that to Serena?"
"You had all the motives. Your name was in
the letter. It was an honest mistake." Stanton
looked at Darien for a second.
"How am I going to get out then?"
"That's not why I am here though. I can't get
you out, yet. Serena..." His voice trailed off.
"Serena was captured by Eric. I don't know
where on earth he could have taken her. Do
you have any clue? I have to save her before
it's too late!" His voice was desperate.
Stanton stared at Darien, trying to see if he
was telling the truth. When he saw the fear
and desperation in his eyes, he knew.
"Eric showed me this place when I was
driving him home. HE asked me if I thought
it would be the perfect hideout. I agreed. It's
the Old warehouse on Center Street. You
have to hurry. Save her!"
"Thank you." And with that he got up and
left. He ran out the front door as the girls were walking in.
"She's at the old warehouse on Center Street."
And he took off running. The girls followed
after him, confused and worried.
Serena awoke to find the world blurry.
When it came clear she saw she was in a
room with a lamp overhead. Her hands were
tied behind her back and she was in a chair.
She heard laughter and looked up to find at
least 7 guys staring at her. They laughed in
her face.
"Where, am I?" She asked confused.
"In the old warehouse by Center Street." The
voice sounded familiar and raspy.
"Rick?"
They all burst out laughing.
"For once the dumb blonde is quick." Serena
realized what was going on. She was scared
and angry all at once.
"Who are you calling dumb!?!" She cried
angrily.
"Whoa ho!" They all cried and laughed. Then
one roughly grabbed her by her shoulders
and squeezed his grip around her tight.
"I wouldn't be smart mouthing missy. Your
not in control."
"What do you want with me?"
"Fame, fortune."
"How can I give you that?"
"By letting us kill you?"
"WHAT!?!"
"We ask for a ransom, we get money, kill you
for the fun, and move on. Instant fame."
"Your CRAZY! All of you!" They laughed
wickedly. One walked around and whispered
in her ear.
"Only crazy for you." And he licked the back
of her neck. She screamed but could do
nothing.
"This will be fun!" One cried.
"Your...your insane! How can this be fun?"
"We can get attention!" One snapped at her.
"Huh?"
"At school, we're all just losers. No one ever
pays any attention to us and are treated
badly. But by doing this, we are recognized."
"That's not how you get friends or attention!
You have to be nice and at least be friendly.
People are nice to you at school."
"So what! We aren't popular!"
"What does that matter? It could be worse.
You could be starving to death in some
country, or under slavery, but no, you don't
have to do any of that. Popularity doesn't
matter in the real world."
"How would you know? Your popular." It hit
her then. She was popular at school. Many
people she never paid attention to. She
regretted it now.
"Even if what you say is true, it doesn't
matter, no one will like or pay attention to us,
so lets get this done."
"You're a bunch of psychopaths! You need
help all of you! Let me out you bastards!"
One slapped her hard across the cheek,
leaving a cut and bruise behind.
"Shut up, Bitch!" She stared back in fear. Eric
walked foreword with a coil in his hand.
"Are you ready to die?" He said it so calmly
and coolly that it sent chills up her spin.
Suddenly the door of the warehouse burst
open. There stood Raye, Lita, Amy, Mina,
Amara, Michelle, and a very pissed Darien.
Eric's gang turned and walked up to face
them. Seven against seven. It was even. Raye
had skill and power, Lita had karate abilities,
Amy had wit and wisdom, Mina had
cleverness and sleekness, Amara had fighting
skills, and Michelle, had everything. Darien
had strength, wisdom, and a whole lot of
other things. The other gang had...
themselves. Serena thought that is was an
unfair to Eric's team, but she didn't care now,
they wanted to kill her!
"Who do you think you are, Super hero's?"
The girls and Darien laughed at the fact that
they really were.
"You would be surprised."
"Would we?"
"Yes."
"We can take a bunch of girls and a wimpy
little guy." That set them all after each other.
The girls kicked butt. Darien maneuvered his
way over to Serena after knocking a few
punches into the guys. He threw his arms
around her.
"Serena, I am so glad you're okay!"
"Me too, but Darien, could you untie me?" He
looked at her strangely for a second.
"OH! Yeah, sure." He quickly untied her.
They turned to face the rumble that was
going on. The girls were kicking the guy's
butts, big time! "We got to get you out of
here!" he said panicky. Suddenly, a guy
jumped on Darien's back and started
wrestling Darien to the ground. The guy was
pretty fat. She tried to run and help him but
soon Eric grabbed a hold of her and threw her to the ground. She landed hard and
knocked the wind out of her. He straddled
her and held the coil against her neck,
choking her. She was gasping for air but
couldn't get any. He gritted through his teeth.
"You are not letting me lose my first kill!" He
yelled. Did he think she was game? Minutes
passed like hours. Out of the corner of her
eyes she could see Darien desperately trying
to struggle to get to her but pulled back by
the fat guy. The girls had their hands full.
Serena knew she was dying. Her vision was
getting blurry, black surrounded the edges of
her vision and closed in. Soon all she saw was
darkness. Oblivion.
Darien saw Eric choking Serena and
there was nothing he could do about it. This
guy was killing him. He saw Eric stand up
from over Serena. She lied there, motionless
and lifeless.
"NO!" He screamed. He knocked the guy that
was beating him against the wall, knocking
him out cold. Fear can drive you to
immeasurable things. He ran to her. Eric
turned around and saw Darien coming for
him. Darien gave Eric a direct uppercut
punch, knocking him out cold. He bent over
Serena and felt for breathing and a pulse.
There was none. He started CPR on her. A
few seconds later the girls ran over and saw
Serena lying there, Darien giving her CPR.
One minute passed. Still nothing. Two
minutes. He began to worry that her
windpipe had been broken. Why oh WHY
didn't he bring the police with him!?! The
girls had called them though. Suddenly
Serena started to cough. Her eyes flew open
and she was gasping for air. He sat her up so
she could get air. The girls started to laugh
and jump overjoyed that they didn't lose
their friend. They cried tears of happiness,
because they didn't lose their princess.
Darien held her tight in a hug. He cried too.
"I though a lost you." He whispered. Through
he heavy breathing she replied.
"Never." He hugged her and held her close.
Then the police came in pulled the infamous
"Stalkers Anonymous" group to jail. The girls
were congratulated on their work. The
paramedics took Serena to the hospital. She
would be okay. She was lucky.
"Do you have to leave so soon?" Serena
said sadly. Stanton nodded and smiled.
"I have to leave this town. Go back home."
Darien smiled.
"And I was just starting to like you." Stanton
looked at Darien and smiled. He lifted his
hand. Darien stared at it for a minute and
then shook it.
"We must have something in common."
Stanton said smiling. "We have great taste in girls." The two laughed and Serena blushed.
He turned to her and hugged her tight.
"I'll miss you." She said.
"I'll miss you too." He let go and hopped on
the train to his home. "Don't forget me,
Serena Tuskino. I'll never forget you."
"I won't. Come back sometime!" She said
waving.
"I will!" and then he was too out of sight to be
heard. Serena turned to Darien. He bent
down and kissed her. She smiled.
"We've been through Yoma's, villains, Beryl,
the Doom Phantom, Mistress Nine, Pharaoh
90, a group of stalkers, 10,000 years, and
many rivals, is there anything our love can't
handle?" He bent down and kissed her
harder and more passionate. She smiled and
shrugged.
"I guess not."
Hope you liked it! E-mail me any comments.

HI! Me again. I hope you like this one. Some might think it's mean or cruel, but it happens! People do things like this for these reasons.

Serena was walking down her sidewalk

being so boring because she didn't have a

There hadn't been many yoma attacks lately

across it with no return address. She opened
it up and read it.

She didn't know at all what this meant. It
made absolutely NO sense! The symbol at the
bottom looked like a heart with vines weaved around and through it. It looked familiar but
she didn't know from where. She walked in
and showed it to her mother.
"Maybe it's a poem, from a secret admirer!"
She dragged out the admirer part and Serena
rolled her eyes.
"Mother, I HAVE a boyfriend, thank you very
much!" She said sticking her nose up in the
air. Her mother shook her head and laughed.
" I know that, Serena, but many boys can still
like you. Your very attractive...at least, when
you're not klutzing out or saying something
air headed." Her mother said playfully.
"Ohhhhhhh! If you didn't have such great
cooking, I'd slug you right now!" She
shouted back at her mother. She ran up the
stairs into her room and called Amy.
"Anderson residence."
"Hey Ames!"
"Oh, Hi, Serena!"
"So what are you doing?"
"Just studying for next month's test."
"Why would you do a thing like that?"
"I'm behind."
"Oh. Say Ames I just got this letter and it's
really weird."
"Who's it from?"
"I don't know. There's no return address or
name."
"What does it say?"
"Even Returning In City, A Never Done,
History Is Seen, Going And Not Going,
Answers Real Enduring, Will Always Take
Care Here In Nothing Gone, You'll Only
Understand."
"Hmmmm. Sounds like a poem or
something."
"Yeah I know, but it's kind of weird."
"Maybe someone put it in the wrong mail
box."
"Maybe...no that can't be. It had my name on
it."
"Well, I don't know. IT just might be nothing.
I gotta go now. More studying to do!"
"Bye Ames."
"Bye, Serena." Serena hung up the phone and
sighed.
"Oh well. Better do my homework. Nothing
else to do." So in one of it's many rare
moments, Serena did her homework. The
whole time thinking about the letter.
Suddenly the phone rang.
"S-E-R-E-N-A! Telephone! Chirped her
mother's voice.
"Got it! Hello."
"Hey, Serena." Her heart stopped. She had
heard that smooth, soft voice before.
"St...Stanton?" she stammered out.
"Yeah."
"Oh my gosh! HI! How are you?"
"Pretty good. Listen girl I can't talk long. I just
got in town and will be staying here for a
little while and wanted to call you and let
you know that I will be looking for you and
want to see you, K?" Serena nodded.
"Yeah, sure."
"How long has it been?"
"Since summer camp? Oh... Two years
maybe." She heard him chuckle.
"Yeah, two years of agony without you."
Serena blushed. "Well, I'll see ya around k?"
"K! BYE!"
"Bye!" Serena hung up the phone. She hadn't
seen her old friend Stanton for about two
years. She couldn't wait to see him. But, she
hoped Darien wouldn't get jealous, which he
never did. Usually. She walked over to her
bed and laid down on it. The sun was setting
and she watched the purples and oranges
and reds blend together in a rainbow of
colors. She smiled and realized that that was
how she felt with Darien. Beautiful and
mysterious. Her mother called her down for
some dinner. She raced downstairs for food.
"Who was that?" She asked curiously.
"Stanton."
"STANTON?"
"Uh huh."
"Really."
"Yep."
"This conversations getting far."
"Yep."
"I just told your teacher that you wouldn't be
coming back to school forever."
"REALLY!?!?!?!"
"No. But it got your attention."
"GRRRRR!" Her mother laughed.
"So, when are you going to see him?" Serena
thought for a moment.
"I...I didn't ask when." Her mother sighed
and rolled her eyes. "He said he'd call back
though." Her mother nodded and went back
to eating dinner.
"Where's, Rini?" Serena asked.
"Spending the night at her friends for the next
few days. Project and sleep over."
"You spoil her so bad."
**The Next Day**
Serena walked to the Arcade happily to
meet her friends. She was beaming as she
walked in and saw her friends sitting at the
table drinking cokes and stuff. Amara and
Michelle was there which surprised her, but
she was happy that they came. They had a
milkshake waiting for her. She sat down. She
sipped her drink and kind of zoned out.
"....na...Serena....SERENA!"
"WHAT!" She jumped as Raye yelled in her
ear.
"Took you long enough."
"You totally zoned out on us."
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Well, two years ago I went to summer camp.
I met a guy there named Stanton. We became
close friends and were almost boyfriend and
girlfriend. But he lived on the other side of
Japan so I couldn't really talk to him or see
him. It was a tearful goodbye. He called me
last night and is in Tokyo! I am just so
excited." The girls smiled but Raye frowned.
"What about Darien?"
"What about him?"
"Have you bothered to tell him that your "Ex
-boyfriend" is in town and wants to see you?"
"No."
"Don't you think Darien just might want to
know?"
"Know what?" Came a deep voice from
behind them. They jumped and slowly
turned to see Darien behind them. He had his
arms crossed in front of his chest, an eyebrow
cocked, and tapping his foot impatiently.
"Nothing!" They said simultaneously and
turned back to drinking their drinks in
silence. He sighed. He sat down next to
Serena and looked at her. She slowly turned
her head to look at him. He stared at her with
interest. She sighed in defeat.
"Darien, and old boyfriend is coming to town
and I wan to see him." He looked surprised at first and then smiled.
"Is that what you were hiding from me?"
"Yes, I thought you'd get upset."
"I'm not. You see I trust you. Not him. So I
want to meet him too."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." He smiled and leaned over and
kissed her. The girls sighed.
"I wish I had a guy as understanding as
Darien." Said Mina.
"I wish I had a GUY!" They all burst out
laughing. They soon left after a good half
hour of gossip. Darien walked Serena home.
They walked into her house to see Stanton
and a strange boy sitting on the couch.
"STANTON!" He turned and his face light up
when he saw her.
"Serena!" He stood up and ran to her. She
threw her arms around him and gave him a
great bear hug.
"Oh my GOD! STANTON! How did you find
where I lived?"
"I have my ways." He said with a sly smile.
She just laughed and hugged him tighter.
Darien cleared his throat a little louder than
usual. Serena turned to see Darien. Jealousy
danced in his eyes.
"Stanton, this is my..."
"Her boyfriend, Darien." He held out his
hand and shook his hand with a force that
said 'you even so as hurt a hair on her head, I
will kick the @&*# out of you'. He looked at
little scared of him and looked at Serena. She
grabbed his arm.
"Why don't we all go upstairs and talk.
Stanton looked over at the guy that had come
with him.
"You okay right here, Eric?" The boy nodded
and smiled. Serena, Stanton, and Darien
walked upstairs to her room.
"So Stanton, how exactly did you find your
way here?"
"You know that kid down there, Eric? He said
you were a classmate of yours and knew
where you lived. So I drove him so her could
show me where you lived. Your Mom went
Crazy, let us both in, and attacked us with
sweets. Your Mom's a good cook." Serena
smiled widely.
"How do you like my room?" He looked
around and saw that is had been painted
blue, sponge painted, and stars and moons
had been stenciled on the walls. Darien
looked around to.
"It's pretty." They both said simultaneously. They looked at each other and both cracked a
grin.
"And you haven't seen the view! I see the
sunset perfectly." Darien and Serena walked
over to the window.
"Do you like it? Stanton?" She turned around.
He walked over.
"It's just like on lake Kunjri ." Serena nodded
and smiled. After awhile of talking Stanton
had to leave. He gave her a great big hug as
he left. He whispered in her ear as he left.
"I'll come back, don't worry." She smiled and
watched him go with Eric. Darien and Serena
ran up stairs. They sat on the bed talking
awhile.
"Serena, what is this?" She looked over and
saw a small envelope in Darien's hand. It just
had her name sprawled on it. Just like the
letter before. She opened up.

It just had the same symbol at the bottom like
the last on had. Darien saw her face turn
slightly pale.
"What is it?" She handed him the letter. He
read it. "Sounds like a demented poem."
"I... I have another one." He looked at her.
"Just like this?" She shook her head. She
pulled out the other note and read it.
" They have to same symbol at the bottom.
Same twisted way."
"Darien, I think I might be being stalked." He
looked at her worriedly.
"Do... Do you want me to stay?" She shook
her head.
"No, I'll be okay."
"Promise me something."
"What?"
"If you get another one of these...call the
police, okay?" She nodded. He smiled and
leaned foreword and kissed her. "I don't want you to get hurt." She smiled.
"I'll be okay." He smiled and left. She got
dressed for bed and stared at the moon. She
slowly fell asleep into a dreamless night.
**The next afternoon**
"S-E-R-E-N-A! You have mail!" Her mother
called her in a singsong voice. After shopping
all day she was really tiered and was hard to
move.
"COMING!" She slowly got up and walked
downstairs. She grabbed her mail from her
mother. A magazine, junk mail, junk mail,
and an envelope with her name sprawled
across it. Her hand trembled as she held the
envelope in her hand. She slowly opened it.
Same symbol at the bottom, same twisted
style.

It was long than all the others. She felt tears
run down her face. He mother walked in.
"Serena what is wrong?" She handed her
mother the letters and stared the blankly at
the wall.
"I think I am being stalked, mom." Her
mother looked at her and then grabbed the
phone to call the police.
"Who could it be?" Darien held Serena close
to him. Everyone came over when Serena's mom called the police.
"Do you know anyone, anyone at all who
would do this?" The Police asked. Serena
shook her head. Darien stared silently at the
wall.
"Stanton." He said plainly. All looked at him.
"WHAT!?!"
"He had all the right motives. Serena started
to get the letters when HE came into town.
He was in her room and we turned our back
on him, he could have easily place a note on
her dresser, and his name is on the last note.
It has to be him. It's so obvious." All stared at
him. Realization came over them all. It was
him! He had all the perfect chances.
"Does anyone know where he is?" Serena and
Darien nodded.
"At the Tokyo Hotel, room 565." The police
left and went after Stanton. An hour later
they received a call saying that Stanton was
in custody and there was nothing to worry
about. All her friends and Darien stayed at
her house. Darien was going to spend the
night in the guest room to make sure Serena
was okay. Her father actually agreed! Amy
was quiet the whole time.
"Serena?" Amy asked as she was about to
leave.
"Yes?"
"Do you have a copy of all the letters you
were sent?"
"Yes."
"Can I have them, please?" Serena nodded,
confused.
"Why?" she asked as she handed them to her.
"I just want to do some research."
"Okay, good bye, you guys!"
"BYE!"
**The next afternoon**
Darien was up in Serena's room lying on her
bed. He was really sleepy and Serena could
tell. He had spent most of the night making
sure she was okay. Her parents had left to go
to a banquet across town. Her father made it
pretty clear that nothing "bad" should
happen. When he said that it made them both
turn bright red. She gently stroked his hair
and soon he fell asleep. She smiled as she
watched him sleep. He looked so cute like
that. She realized that she was hungry and
looked at the clock and saw that it was almost
Three O'clock. She ran downstairs quietly to
get a snack.
Amy sat her desk going through Serena's
letters. She had a gut feeling that Stanton
wasn't the stalked. It just made no sense. She
knew there was a code to it and she didn't
know how to break it. She had tried
everything. Every other word, last letter ,
middle letter, every other letter, nothing
worked. She was about to quit when she
realized something. On the first note, if you
added to first letter of every word that was
on one line it spelt out a word. She quickly
deciphered the first note. It said;
Eric and his gang are watching you
Eric? Who was he? Then she remembered. He
was in their class at school. He told Stanton
where Serena lived. He was downstairs at
the time when the Second letter appeared. He
could have put it there! She quickly figured
out the second one.
We will kill you Serena, we will
It sent chills up her spine. Serena was in
Danger! There still was a third one. She read
it and gasped as she figured it out.
No one will help you
Stanton cannot
Eric will kill you tomorrow at three
Be watching and waiting
She looked at the clock. It was quarter after
three! She call Serena's house as quick as she
could and prayed she wasn't too late.
Serena walked over to her refrigerator. She
opened the door and search for something to
eat. Suddenly a hand came around and
slapped a cloth with chloroform on it over
her mouth and nose and an arm around her
waist. Eric held it there until she passed out
in his arms and smiled evilly in triumph.
Darien awoke to the phone ringing off the
hook. He picked it up in a groggy voice
answered it.
"Hello?"
"Darien, it's Amy. Is Serena with you?" She
sounded panicky. He looked around for her.
"I don't know, hold on." He took the phone
with him down stairs. The Refrigerator door
was swinging open. Her front door was open.
On the table there was a message written on a
pad of paper. He picked it up and read it.
We got her. She is ours. Don't try to find her.
You never will.
-Stalkers Anonymous-
He stared at the paper in disbelief. His vision
got all blurry.
"Darien? DAREIN!?!" He could hear Amy
screaming through the phone. He slowly
lifted it up to his ear.
"They got her." He said slowly, calmly, and
yet terrifyingly at to same time. He didn't
know how three little words could make
someone break down, but Amy did. After a
while of silence she spoke to him.
"We have to talk to Stanton."
"Why?"
"He might know where they took her."
"I'll meet you at the Police station. Bring the
girls." And he hung up. He ran for his coat,
and locked the door. He went off to the police
station praying that Stanton would know.
Darien ran in and grabbed the nearest officer.
"I need to talk to Stanton Perst."
"Is he a prisoner?"
"Yes. It's really urgent." He didn't know he
was screaming, cause the police officer told
him to lower the decibels.
"Okay, calm down." He led him to a small
room. A piece of glass separated the
Prisoners from the people they were talking
with. Darien sat down and waited
impatiently. Stanton came in hand cuffed and
sat down at the opposite side. He looked at
Darien oddly. He could have sworn hate
passed through his eyes. Stanton's features
turned cold and hard.
"Stanton, I know you are innocent."
"It's a little late to say that, don't you think?
How could you have ever thought I would
do something like that to Serena?"
"You had all the motives. Your name was in
the letter. It was an honest mistake." Stanton
looked at Darien for a second.
"How am I going to get out then?"
"That's not why I am here though. I can't get
you out, yet. Serena..." His voice trailed off.
"Serena was captured by Eric. I don't know
where on earth he could have taken her. Do
you have any clue? I have to save her before
it's too late!" His voice was desperate.
Stanton stared at Darien, trying to see if he
was telling the truth. When he saw the fear
and desperation in his eyes, he knew.
"Eric showed me this place when I was
driving him home. HE asked me if I thought
it would be the perfect hideout. I agreed. It's
the Old warehouse on Center Street. You
have to hurry. Save her!"
"Thank you." And with that he got up and
left. He ran out the front door as the girls were walking in.
"She's at the old warehouse on Center Street."
And he took off running. The girls followed
after him, confused and worried.
Serena awoke to find the world blurry.
When it came clear she saw she was in a
room with a lamp overhead. Her hands were
tied behind her back and she was in a chair.
She heard laughter and looked up to find at
least 7 guys staring at her. They laughed in
her face.
"Where, am I?" She asked confused.
"In the old warehouse by Center Street." The
voice sounded familiar and raspy.
"Rick?"
They all burst out laughing.
"For once the dumb blonde is quick." Serena
realized what was going on. She was scared
and angry all at once.
"Who are you calling dumb!?!" She cried
angrily.
"Whoa ho!" They all cried and laughed. Then
one roughly grabbed her by her shoulders
and squeezed his grip around her tight.
"I wouldn't be smart mouthing missy. Your
not in control."
"What do you want with me?"
"Fame, fortune."
"How can I give you that?"
"By letting us kill you?"
"WHAT!?!"
"We ask for a ransom, we get money, kill you
for the fun, and move on. Instant fame."
"Your CRAZY! All of you!" They laughed
wickedly. One walked around and whispered
in her ear.
"Only crazy for you." And he licked the back
of her neck. She screamed but could do
nothing.
"This will be fun!" One cried.
"Your...your insane! How can this be fun?"
"We can get attention!" One snapped at her.
"Huh?"
"At school, we're all just losers. No one ever
pays any attention to us and are treated
badly. But by doing this, we are recognized."
"That's not how you get friends or attention!
You have to be nice and at least be friendly.
People are nice to you at school."
"So what! We aren't popular!"
"What does that matter? It could be worse.
You could be starving to death in some
country, or under slavery, but no, you don't
have to do any of that. Popularity doesn't
matter in the real world."
"How would you know? Your popular." It hit
her then. She was popular at school. Many
people she never paid attention to. She
regretted it now.
"Even if what you say is true, it doesn't
matter, no one will like or pay attention to us,
so lets get this done."
"You're a bunch of psychopaths! You need
help all of you! Let me out you bastards!"
One slapped her hard across the cheek,
leaving a cut and bruise behind.
"Shut up, Bitch!" She stared back in fear. Eric
walked foreword with a coil in his hand.
"Are you ready to die?" He said it so calmly
and coolly that it sent chills up her spin.
Suddenly the door of the warehouse burst
open. There stood Raye, Lita, Amy, Mina,
Amara, Michelle, and a very pissed Darien.
Eric's gang turned and walked up to face
them. Seven against seven. It was even. Raye
had skill and power, Lita had karate abilities,
Amy had wit and wisdom, Mina had
cleverness and sleekness, Amara had fighting
skills, and Michelle, had everything. Darien
had strength, wisdom, and a whole lot of
other things. The other gang had...
themselves. Serena thought that is was an
unfair to Eric's team, but she didn't care now,
they wanted to kill her!
"Who do you think you are, Super hero's?"
The girls and Darien laughed at the fact that
they really were.
"You would be surprised."
"Would we?"
"Yes."
"We can take a bunch of girls and a wimpy
little guy." That set them all after each other.
The girls kicked butt. Darien maneuvered his
way over to Serena after knocking a few
punches into the guys. He threw his arms
around her.
"Serena, I am so glad you're okay!"
"Me too, but Darien, could you untie me?" He
looked at her strangely for a second.
"OH! Yeah, sure." He quickly untied her.
They turned to face the rumble that was
going on. The girls were kicking the guy's
butts, big time! "We got to get you out of
here!" he said panicky. Suddenly, a guy
jumped on Darien's back and started
wrestling Darien to the ground. The guy was
pretty fat. She tried to run and help him but
soon Eric grabbed a hold of her and threw her to the ground. She landed hard and
knocked the wind out of her. He straddled
her and held the coil against her neck,
choking her. She was gasping for air but
couldn't get any. He gritted through his teeth.
"You are not letting me lose my first kill!" He
yelled. Did he think she was game? Minutes
passed like hours. Out of the corner of her
eyes she could see Darien desperately trying
to struggle to get to her but pulled back by
the fat guy. The girls had their hands full.
Serena knew she was dying. Her vision was
getting blurry, black surrounded the edges of
her vision and closed in. Soon all she saw was
darkness. Oblivion.
Darien saw Eric choking Serena and
there was nothing he could do about it. This
guy was killing him. He saw Eric stand up
from over Serena. She lied there, motionless
and lifeless.
"NO!" He screamed. He knocked the guy that
was beating him against the wall, knocking
him out cold. Fear can drive you to
immeasurable things. He ran to her. Eric
turned around and saw Darien coming for
him. Darien gave Eric a direct uppercut
punch, knocking him out cold. He bent over
Serena and felt for breathing and a pulse.
There was none. He started CPR on her. A
few seconds later the girls ran over and saw
Serena lying there, Darien giving her CPR.
One minute passed. Still nothing. Two
minutes. He began to worry that her
windpipe had been broken. Why oh WHY
didn't he bring the police with him!?! The
girls had called them though. Suddenly
Serena started to cough. Her eyes flew open
and she was gasping for air. He sat her up so
she could get air. The girls started to laugh
and jump overjoyed that they didn't lose
their friend. They cried tears of happiness,
because they didn't lose their princess.
Darien held her tight in a hug. He cried too.
"I though a lost you." He whispered. Through
he heavy breathing she replied.
"Never." He hugged her and held her close.
Then the police came in pulled the infamous
"Stalkers Anonymous" group to jail. The girls
were congratulated on their work. The
paramedics took Serena to the hospital. She
would be okay. She was lucky.
"Do you have to leave so soon?" Serena
said sadly. Stanton nodded and smiled.
"I have to leave this town. Go back home."
Darien smiled.
"And I was just starting to like you." Stanton
looked at Darien and smiled. He lifted his
hand. Darien stared at it for a minute and
then shook it.
"We must have something in common."
Stanton said smiling. "We have great taste in girls." The two laughed and Serena blushed.
He turned to her and hugged her tight.
"I'll miss you." She said.
"I'll miss you too." He let go and hopped on
the train to his home. "Don't forget me,
Serena Tuskino. I'll never forget you."
"I won't. Come back sometime!" She said
waving.
"I will!" and then he was too out of sight to be
heard. Serena turned to Darien. He bent
down and kissed her. She smiled.
"We've been through Yoma's, villains, Beryl,
the Doom Phantom, Mistress Nine, Pharaoh
90, a group of stalkers, 10,000 years, and
many rivals, is there anything our love can't
handle?" He bent down and kissed her
harder and more passionate. She smiled and
shrugged.
"I guess not."
