| Author Name: Serenita Title: A Heart Worth Taking Rating: PG Chapter 7 Here it is! The LAST CHAPTER! I am writing my new story now called "A Princess of the Moon" That's a long one! Well ENJOY! I don't own Sailor Moon. Chapter Seven "SERENA!' Raye cried. Serena was there, smiling. "Thank you Raye. You brought me back. I have my dream back. Hanol may have taken my dream power, but not my dreams. And you made me realize that." Raye smiled through her tears. She wrapped her arms around her. So did Lita, Mina, and Amy. "We're all just so glad your okay." She smiled. They all stopped and looked sad. Serena saw Darien lying on the ground. Her hand flew to her face. Tears formed in her eyes. She ran to him, picked him up in her arms, and held him. " Darien, Darien, listen to me. I know you can hear me. Darien, you can't leave! You have to know, your dreams can't leave, not ever. Darien please." He still stared into nothing. "You have to remember your dreams, Darien, you have to remember. I'm here Darien, I'm here." She looked at his eyes. They returned to normal. Serena gasped with delight. He blinked, got up, and kneeled before her. He turned to her. "Am I... am I imaging this? Are you really here? Your not gone?" Serena smiled. He grabbed her and pulled her into a passionate kiss. She started to cry tears of joy. He held her tight. "I was so worried that you were dead." He told her. She shook her head. "Never. I could never leave you." He smiled and held her tighter. "How touching." They all turned to see Hanol standing there. "So you found out that I only take power. Well, I'll just kill you all now." She held out her hand and blasted them all with her power. Serena slowly lifted her head. "Why Do this, Hanol, WHY?" Hanol glared. "SHUT UP! YOUR USLESS! I HAVE WHAT I WANT! JUST SHUT UP!" she blasted them again. Lita was mad. She ran at Hanol. Hanol turned and blasted her. Lita flew back and hit the platform. She cried out in pain and crumpled to the ground. The other three scouts ran at her too, but were easily flung aside like unwanted toys because they were not transformed. Serena and Darien were the only ones left standing. Hanol glared at them. "Even in oblivion the two love birds find each other. How very, very touching." She yawned. "Time to close the storybook." Serena walked foreword. "Just leave them all alone! It is my fault that they all came here. Don't hurt them anymore. You wanted me and you have me. Now just leave them alone!" Hanol glared at her. She lifted her hand and blasted Serena. She flew backwards and slammed her head down on the floor with a clunk. Darien ran to her and held her in his arms. She was unconscious. He shook her to wake her. Hanol sighed. "This is what I don't understand. You risk your life for this girl all the time and yet she gives you nothing back. WHY!?!" "You just don't understand, do you? When you love someone you don't care if you risk your life to save them or do things totally wacky for them, you just do. That's what love is. Compassion, comfort, being there for them, that's what it is. I love her, and that will never change. Even if she is klutzy, or not too good at school, it doesn't matter to me. I see inside her, and inside there is nothing but good. Love can never be taken away, you have to learn that." He clutched Serena to his chest and slowly rocked her. She was conscious now. Hanol looked sad and then Angry. "I wouldn't know; I've never been loved!" Serena left Darien's embrace. She stood up and turned to face her. "Hanol, why are you so evil?" "What?" "There is good in you, I know it, I've seen it. Why be like this?" Serena saw that there were tears in Hanol's eyes. "Because, no one would except me. I am different. I wanted people to like me, I want friends! I've lived all alone for all of my life!" Hanol's tears came faster. "No one wants me, no one wants to be my friend. So I just gave it all up. I stopped wanting and took what I needed." "We'll be your friends." She looked up. "After all that I've done to you?" They nodded. "I want to be good like you, but... but..." "Darien?" asked Serena. "Hmmm?" "Did you bring my broach?" He smiled. He took it out of his pocket and tossed it to her. She held it up in the air. "Moon Healing POWER!" Hanol was bathed in the silver crystals light. All of her evil and loneliness and pain left her. Once the light faded, they looked to see her gone. "Where is she?" they asked. Then they heard a voice. "Thank you. Thank you so much. I will always be here for you." And then the voice was gone. The blackness disappeared and they were standing in the park. They saw something appear in front of them. It was Hanol. She was total changed. She wore a simple blue dress. "Hanol!" she smiled. "I just came to say good-bye, I will be leaving this world." "Where will you go?" she smiled. "To where... I belong. Darien...Serena... I thank you so much. You showed me what is good and what it means to love. Take care of each other. You belong together." She then disappeared. They looked up and saw a shooting star move across the sky and they smiled. Darien turned to Serena. "And for once... I agree." He bent down and kissed her. And in the present, future, and beyond time's limits, they did exactly what Hanol said; they loved. |
