Moonlit Angel: Good-bye

   ...He lunged at her, black limestone sword in hand. Suddenly, out of
no 
where, Luna, Serena’s “winged” horse, came flying at Diamond. A
crescent 
glowed on its forehead and a white beam shot out from it. It hit
Diamond in 
the stomach.
   He screamed out in pain and put a hand to his stomach, “I’ll be
back!” he 
yelled and disappeared.
   Serena turned to Luna and smiled. She hugged her, “Oh, thank you,
Luna, I 
don’t know what I’d do with out you.” she said, Luna neighed.

(Darien’s room)

   “Woah...” the four generals breathed.
   Darien was so captured by the beauty of the silver rose that he now
held 
in his hand, he didn’t notice the cold air and ice blue mist fogging
the room.
   “Um..Darien?” Kunzite’s voice brought him out of his stupor.
   “What the hell is going on?!” he said.
   “Hehe, we were hoping you knew.” Nephlyte said.
   “Mommy!” Jedite started to cry, that is, until Zoycite hit him over
the 
head..hard.
   “OW! What’s you do that for?!!”
   “Jedite, shuttup.”
   “Sorry.”
   The fog filled the room, making it so you couldn’t see 1 foot ahead
of 
you. Then there was a laugh...an evil laugh.
   “You fools, have you earthlings always been stupid or have you taken

lessons?” the voice said.
   “Who are you? What do you want?” Darien asked and he could just feel
the 
evil being smirk.
   “I’m sure you’ve heard of me, does Diamond ring a bell?”
   Darien frowned, “You’re the ass that killed Serena.” Darien spat
coldly.
   “Haha, touché, but yes, I am he.”
   “What do you want?”
   “Your life.”
   “WHAT?!!” the generals shouted.
   “Diamond, leave this place, you’re not to be here!” an old sounding
female 
voice said, Diamond growled.
   “YOU have no business here, Dirna!” he yelled and suddenly the fog
cleared 
to reveal an old woman, in a long white dress; her white hair pulled
back in 
a tight bun  and her sea green eyes flaring with anger.
   “I said LEAVE!”
   Diamond frowned, “Fine.” he said, crossing his arms as he faded
away.
   “Sorry for that unpleasantness. Now, my name is Dirna and I’m
Serena’s 
guardian --troublesome little thing, she is-- but anyway, I need you to
break 
your promise to her; if you feel she is in trouble, then go to her.”
   “But, she sa--”
   “Do not mind what she said, I’m telling you, if you feel she is in 
trouble, go to her; I am her guardian and I know better. She’s a very 
stubborn angel. Do you know, she’s going to give up her life to Diamond
so 
you can live?”
   “What?! But, she can’t do that?! I won’t let her!!”
   “Good, I’m glad we agree. Now, I must go.” she said as she began to
fade.
   “Wait! How do I--”
   “No questions, just concentrate your energy.” and with that she was
gone.
   “Ok, you know what? I’ve had enough suprise visits for the day.”
Jedite 
said dazedly and fainted.
   The guys pulled Jedite up and placed him on the bed, Darien just put
a 
thoughtful hand to his forehead and said, “Concentrate my energy for
what?”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(outside the door) (AN: seem familiar?)

   Beryl took her eye away from the cracked open door, “She..she...the
angel 
is.. the angel’s real...” and with that she fainted also, with a loud
thud.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(inside the room)

   All the guys turned their heads to the door.
   “What was that?” Kunzite asked and Zoycite went to the door. When he

opened, he was greeted by...Beryl sprawled out on the floor?! He picked
her 
up and brought her into the room and set her on the bed, next to
Jedite.
   “JESUS! Why does she have to wear so much damn perfume? She reeks!!”
   “OH MAN, this is what hell must smell like!” Nephlyte added.
   “Oh do you put up with this?” Zoycite asked, hand over his nose and
mouth.
   Darien shrugged, “Easy, I don’t, see ya!” he said and started
walking out.
   “Wait, where ya goin?”
   “I’ll be right back, don’t worry.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(in the gardens)

   Darien walked out to the rose garden and sat down on a bench. He
looked up 
at the pink sky and remembered yesterday, one of the best days he’d had
in a 
long time. He had met Serena...he had fallen in love.
   Then, one question ran through his head, ‘Am I gonna die today..
saving 
Serena’s life? Will we even get to meet tonight at twelve? Will I ever
see 
her again, after this day?’
   He laid down on the bench and put his hands behind his head. He
closed his 
eyes as a warm breeze swept by and suddenly, a picture of Serena came
into 
mind:
   She was sitting in front of the waterfall, her long, golden hair
flowing 
gently in the wind, her beautiful blue eyes looking out into the woods,
and 
her pearl white wings folded at her back.
   He sighed and didn’t even notice the sound of soft foot steps come
and 
stop before him.
   “Darien?” he heard his mother’s voice and opened his eyes.
   “Yes, Mother?”
   “Is there something wrong?” she asked as she sat down beside him and
put a 
hand to his cheek. “Is there anything I can do to help?”
   Darien smiled, “No,” he whispered. “there is nothing you can do.” he
stood 
up, she followed.
   “And...if I never see you again; good-bye, Mother, I’ll always love
you.” 
he said and kissed her cheek. With that he walked back to the castle.
   A single tear rolled down Celest’s face as she watched her son’s
back, “Oh 
Darien...” 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Darien’s room)

   Darien walked through the door to see the generals all standing at
the 
window, Beryl at the other side of the room, and Jedite just waking up.
   “Darien, are you alright?” Zoycite asked, concerned about his best
friend.
   Darien nodded with a slight smile and turned to Jedite, “Jed, how
‘bout 
you, you ok?”
   “Yea, just a little dizzy and...what the hell is that smell?”
   Darien ignored the question and turned his attention to Beryl,
“Beryl, you 
can’t tell anyone about what you saw, understand? No one.”
   Beryl smirked, “Ok.. Dare-bear.”
   “Ugh, and don’t call me that.”
   “Sorry,” she said, trying to sound innocent. “but I just don’t
understand 
why you would want a dead person when you could have me, I mean, I’m
right 
here and I’m actually alive.” 
   “Get out.” Darien growled and Beryl gasped.
   “But Dar--”
   “I said, get out.”
   “Fine, if that’s the way you want it,” she said as her eyes began to
water.
   “Yes, that’s the way I want it.”
   “and you’ll be happy this way.”
   “Truly and undeniably happy.”
   “Ok,” she started, her voice breaking down. “good-bye, Darien!” 
   “Bye!” he said, his voice full of annoyance. 
   And with that, she ran out crying.
   “Wonderful, now I’ll probably have to fumigate the whole damn room.”
he 
said as he and the generals broke out laughing.
   After a while, the laughing died down and they were holding their
stomachs 
and wiping tears away from their eyes, “Oh Lord, I haven’t laughed that
hard 
since we firs met Beryl.” Jedite said and the guys all nodded their
agreement.
   “Hey, just wondering, what’s the date?” Darien asked.
   Kunzite looked to the calendar, “It’s theeeee.. twenty-fourth.” he
said 
and Darien froze as all color left his skin.
   “Woah, Darien, you feelin’ alright? You look kinda sick.” Nephlyte
said.
   “Serena...” was all Darien whispered before he ran out of the room.

   Darien ran out the castle doors and was greeted by Luna, waiting for
him. 
He got onto the horse and Luna flew him to Serena as fast as she could
go....

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(the woods)

   Diamond stood close behind Serena with both arms around her waist.
He 
leaned his head forward so that she could feel his cold breath on her
skin, 
“Why don’t you make this less painful for yourself and just say you’ll
marry 
me, hmm?” 
   “Never.” she whispered coldly.
   He turned her around so she was facing him, “Alright then, have it
your 
way.”
   He pulled her closer and kissed her roughly. She tore away from him
and 
ran as fast as she could, heading towards the waterfall, Diamond right
on her 
heels.
   When she reached the waterfall, she stopped and Diamond grabbed her,

taking her into the cave, under the waterfall.
   He stood with one arm tight around her slim waist and the other
holding 
his sword with the cold, black blade pressed lightly against the soft
skin of 
her neck.
   “This seems vaguely familiar, doesn’t it?” Diamond asked and
laughed. 
   Serena just looked ahead, face expressionless.
   Diamond frowned, “You’re not afraid of me, are you?” he asked.
   “No. But I should be, shouldn’t I? Considering how ugly, cruel and
selfish 
you are.” she said and the blade came closer to her neck.
   “Hm, Brat.” he said and sighed conceitedly. “Oh well, you didn’t
deserve 
me anyway.”
   The long blade slid slowly through her throat as she squinted her
eyes in 
pain and tried to breathe in. When the blade was complete with its
task, her 
eyes closed and she fell, limp, to the ground. 
   “So beautiful, yet so stubborn.” he shook his head as he walked out
of the 
cave.
   “He leaned against a tree and sighed, “Well, ol’ prince charming
should be 
here in 1..2..3.”
   He laughed slightly as he saw Luna and the prince flying towards
him.
   The landed  and Darien walked up to Diamond.
   Diamond smirked, “You’re too late, Little Prince.” he pointed to the

waterfall.
   Darien slowly turned his head to the waterfall. He thought he’d die
right 
there; the water was a dark red.
   “No.” he whispered as Diamond started to laugh maniacally.
   “Bastard, you’ll die for this.” Darien growled.
   “Oh, will I? I think not. And bastard, rather harsh, don’t you
think?” he 
held his sword up to the sky. “Say good-bye, Little Prince.”
   Suddenly, he and the sword were enveloped in a purple light which
seemed 
to be getting bigger by the second. The light vanished and in Diamond’s
place 
stood an ice blue/purple, ten ft. wide, and twenty ft. tall dragon!
(AN: I 
just watched “Sleeping Beauty” with my little cousin, so what do you
except? 
A Bunny?!!)
   “Oh shit.. ok, this isn’t fair.” Darien said as he noticed a foot
about to 
come down on him. He closed his eyes tight and waited for the
pain....it 
never came. He cracked open one eye and noticed he was on Luna’s back
and 
flying.
   “Hehe, thanks.” he said, a little embarrassed. But then, he noticed
that 
Luna was taking him straight for the dragon’s mouth.
    “Wait! No, turn around!! HELLOOO, ARE YOU NUTS?!! TURN AROUND!” he 
started to yell just as Luna went right into its mouth.
   Luna landed on the tongue, “Where’s the light switch? And DAMN, this

thing’s breath smells worse than Beryl’s perfume!” he said and the
horse 
seemed to laugh.
   The crescent on the horse’s forehead lit up so there was light then
it 
started to fly towards the throat.
   “Oh no, please no. Don’t to this to me! Why me?” he said and
screamed as 
they went full speed down into the dragon’s stomach.
   “When this is over, remind me to KILL you!” Darien yelled.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Darien’s room)

   “Ok, do you guys see that too?” Jedite asked and the others nodded.
   “K, just checking.”
   “Ahem.” they heard Dirna’s voice behind them and turned around.
   “Oh, uh, hi.” Kunzite said, a little confused.
   “Your friend Darien is fighting that thing, you know?”
   “Darien? And that thing?!” Nephlyte asked.
   “Yes, and that’s why I need you to send your energy to him, that’s
the 
only way he’ll be able to defeat the dragon.” she said and, suddenly, 
disappeared.
   They all closed their eyes and concentrated on getting their energy
to 
their prince. Then they started to glow --Kunzite> white, Nephlyte>
green, 
Jedite> gold, Zoycite> Blue-- (AN: those are just the colors that I
think 
they should have, I don’t know their real colors)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Dragon’s stomach)

   Darien noticed his sword start glowing. He took it out and watched
it 
change from silver to green to gold to blue.
   He smiled, ‘Thanks guys.’ he thought and put his energy into the
sword, 
now it glowed silver.
   He turned to Luna, “Take me to the heart.” he said and Luna did as
told. 
She stopped at a black ball, which was beating slowly. He shoved the
sword 
through it until he knew it went to the outside of the dragon and he
heard a 
death screech as fire flew past them and probably went to the dragon’s
mouth.
   “Come on, let’s get outa here.” they went back up to the mouth and
flew 
out just as it closed its mouth.
   They watched as small rays of light shot out of the dragon as it
continued 
to sreach and breath fire, then...it blew up.
   While Luna was jumping up with joy and neighing happily, Darien
walked 
into the cave to Serena’s corpse. He knelt down beside her and lifted
her 
back, her wings limp and hanging on the floor. He put his hand just
above the 
slit in her neck as a silver light closed the cut and the blood stopped

flowing.
   Luna walked into the cave and sat down on the other side of Serena.
   “Serena, you can’t leave me,” Darien started, a tear rolled down his

cheek. “I need you.. I love you,” he buried his face in the crook of
her 
neck...colder than before...and cried. “please, don’t leave me...” 
   Darien, suddenly, felt her skin begin to warm and her body started
to lift 
into the air. He stood up and watched as her wings wrap themselves
around 
her, then a bright, platinum colored light flashed and Serena was on
the 
ground again. Her wings- gone, her dress had changed, (AN: she’s in her

Princess Serenity dress now) a small diamond studded tiara sat atop of
her 
golden mane, and a glowing crescent at her forehead. She sat up slowly,
a 
confused look in her eyes, which seemed to be even bluer than they were

before. She looked down at her dress, then at her surroundings and saw
Luna 
sitting next to her and Darien standing 2 ft. away from her. 
   She stood up, “I’m alive.”
   Darien couldn’t believe what she had just said, he walked up to her,

“You-you’re alive?” she smiled and nodded.
   She through her arms around his neck and he slid his arms around her

waist, now both of them were crying.
   “Serena, did you.. hear what I said when...?” he trailed off and she

nodded.
   “Darien, I love you too.” she whispered and kissed him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Heaven)

   Dirna smiled and wiped the tears away from her eyes as she watched
the 
happy couple embrace, “Good-bye, Serena.” she whispered and walked
away.
