Chapter 5…
Anticipation clung to Darien's black heart, as raindrops would cling to his hair on this day. He admired the rain, and with it came dark clouds to block out the sun briefly. A metal picture of Serena drenched and vulnerable in the rain made him shudder briefly.
She was the only one who could touch what he thought had died with him, the day he was given this life he had now.
It wasn't too long ago that he was one of them, a mortal. Almost ten years ago his very life had been taken from him, and in its place was placid eternity.
They say your hearts emotions die when the transformation is complete, but yet his did not. He really felt, as if apart of his mortal self was still intact.
Brushing his past aside, he walked into the hospital where he was currently interning on weekends and sometimes weekdays depending on his schedule. Yes, he still had dreams of becoming a doctor. He wanted to help innocent people everywhere, and feast on the criminals.
Darien checked the clock in the staff break room and it read 9:55 am.
"Do not think I wont come for you my love, because I count the minutes as they slowly tick by." He whispered.
As Serena walked down the sidewalk towards the Hino Temple, she kept looking behind her and keeping a sharp eye on everything that moved as well as everything that didn't.
Gazing down at her watch as she had done the past dozen times that morning, it read 10:14 AM. Serena picked up the pace, and tightened the black scarf around her neck. It didn't look too bad with her black long sleeve shirt, denim jeans, and black vans.
"Good thing it's Saturday, or I would've been extremely late this morning." She sighed looking ahead hopeful of the temple steps appearing soon.
A moment later Serena was following the familiar way to Rei's room in the temple. She had just let herself in as usual, when she came over.
She found the girls sitting on the floor around a table in Rei's bedroom. Lita, Ami, Mina, Rei looked at Serena as if she were a complete stranger.
"Hey Serena, come sit." Rei insisted softly, her dark purple eyes shone hint of worry. Serena tried to not notice, and sat down next to Rei quietly.
"What happened to your yesterday Serena? We thought you skipped out on us, but you weren't home or anywhere to be found." Lita inquired.
"Yeah girl, what's happened to you, you've changed." Mina added brushing a hand through her long pale blonde hair as a sign of stress.
Serena had no plan on what to tell them, and she simply thought they wouldn't believe her in the least.
"I uh-" Serena started to reply. "I went walking in the park, it was way too nice to stay inside."
Amazingly the girls decided to back off for now, but Ami was repeatedly eying Serena's black scarf around her neck.
They five of them went on talking about scout business, and every now and then drooled over mentions of cute boys from their school. Serena kept up in their conversations as usual, but in the back of her mind she couldn't seem to think of anything or anyone besides Darien.
The girls made their way to the Crown Arcade around 2:00 pm for a late lunch.
They walked through the automatic sliding doors and Serena knees felt unbearably weak, but to her relief or…even dismay Darien was nowhere in sight. Serena sat next to Ami on one side of the both and Lit mina and Rei crammed into the opposite side. After Andrew brought their food to them, they settled into some light gossip.
"Serena what's up with you? If you look at your watch one more time I'm going to ring your neck!" Rei barked.
Serena reflexively put a hand on her neck, to her bite mark under the black scarf. The girls were staring at her, as she turned pale by the sudden out burst from Rei.
"Whatever Rei…" She sighed in defeat, and the girls were surprised she didn't argue back.
Unbeknownst to Serena, she had pulled her scarf down slightly. Ami side glanced at Serena. Eyes widening as she noticed the marks on her neck.
More later…

Wow, I was reeeally stuck on this chapter. Ummm I am not quite sure on where to go from here. About letting her friends in on what's going on or what. Feel free to tell me what you think. Thank you for your patience and hopefully my new work schedule will allow me to write a little more. Ja Ne – AnGeLkIsSeS03
