Serena's Return

'Ding dong,' went the bells attached to the door of the Arcade. They announced a young women of about 18 with long, long blond hair streaked with bright silver, not silver of age but silver of historic beauty. She looked around the Arcade with piercing sky blue eyes that reached into the depths of your soul. She looked to be remembering fond memories that were tainted with sadness and distrust. The brown haired owner walked up to this mysterious women…..

"Hi! How may I help you?" Andrew said tiredly. It had been a long day and he just wanted to kick back and turn on the tube. 'That women looks familiar,' he thought, ' or maybe I'm so tired I'm delirious.'

"Hey Andrew. So you don't remember your old friend Serena?" said the women. Andrew's eyes widened in shock as he whispered, "Serena?"

Serena nodded and laughed slightly but without the joy of the years before. Andrew grabbed Serena and pulled her into an ecstatic hug that was like a vice. Finally he released her.

Andrew started rambling on, "Wait till I tell everyone! They will be so happy! You know everyone missed you so much when you ran away! I mean"

Serena cut him short by saying sharply, "No!! you cannot tell anyone that I am here! They cannot even have an inkling that I am here!." Andrew looked thoroughly confused but he knew it was pointless arguing with Serena. With a small nod of his head Andrew promised. Andrew looked into Serena's eyes but they were dark and lifeless. Her spirit was flickering, just being sustained by a miniscule amount of hope.

Serena smiled in relief and blew out a big breath of air she didn't know she had held in. "Thank you," she said quietly, " I am going to see my parents and Sammy now." As Serena turned to leave, she felt a tug at her wrist. Swiftly, Andrew pulled her into another tight hug and whispered into her ear, "If you ever need someone to talk to, just call me and I'm there."

As the embrace slowly ended, Serena gave Andrew a grateful look and turned to the door and left without another word. The bells on the door seemed to ring with both joy of arrival and sadness of departure.
