The Right to Die Chapter 2 Hi everyone! It is I again. I have another edition of The Right to Die. I have been really busy lately with school, piano, and flute that I have not had any time to write. I am going to warn you beforehand that I can't spell well and I am not that good with grammar so PLEASE bear with me. Another warning I am listening to Mahler's symphony in E minor (really depressing classical music) so this chapter is not going to be very happy (if you get the point). Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon yada yada yada. This is going to switch in point of view's unlike last time, and now, on to the story... Serena's Point of View Run. I can't believe that they would do this to me. It isn't my fault. Oh Andrew! I am so sorry. It is raining. I barely feel it, all I can feel is the pain, the hurt. Run. I remember once when I was paying attention in class Ms. Haruna was talking about adrenaline. I was either going to fight or take flight (run). This is what it is like. I wasn't going to hurt my friends but with all the adrenaline in my blood all I can do is... Run. I was in the middle of the crosswalk. Suddenly a car came flying around the corner. I looked straight at it. I didn't care. I welcome the pain, the end, nothing matters. I remembered a poem written by this guy named Mahler. "The night looks softly down from the distances Eternal with her thousand golden eyes, And weary mortals shut their eyes in sleep To know once more happiness forgotten. "See you the silent, gloomy wanderer? Abandoned is the path he takes and lonely, Unmarked for distance or direction; And on! no star illuminates his way, "A way so long, so far from guardian spirits, And voices versed in soft deceit sound, luring, 'When will this long and futile journey end? Will not the wanderer rest from all his suffering?'..." Darien's Point of View As soon as Serena left I opened my mind to hers and received a rush of emotions. Pain, endless pain, which I had caused. How could I do this to her. She is my soulmate. I keep on delving into her feelings, no matter how much it hurts me. The next thing I felt was guilt. She knew that it wasn't her fault but she couldn't help feel guilty. She reviewed it in her mind and I saw that it wasn't her fault, that she was telling the truth. Immediately I felt a rush of relief and guilt. Relief that it wasn't her fault. Guilt because I had blamed her. I, her soulmate, had not believed her, not trusted her. I kept on. I came to her innermost feeling, fear. Fear that I didn't love her. Fear that everyone hates her. Fear that we will never forgive her. I will not forgive myself for doing this to her. She did not deserve this. She has never done anything wrong. She has sacrificed herself many times over to save us, and yet we hurt her. I looked outside to see which direction she has gone in. I am surprised. I thought that it has been ten minutes since she left but it has only been a few seconds. She ran out into the crosswalk. Thank god, there aren't any cars. Suddenly, a car comes flying around the corner. Oh god. Let her stop. Let it stop. Just don't let her get hit... Serena's Point of View Everything is in slow motion. I am totally aware. The driver tried to stop the car. He tried to slow down, but his reflexes are to slow. He is drunk. I looked straight into his eyes at the last second and I see that he is terrified, not for me, but for himself. Good, let him be terrified. I close my eyes and await death. The next thing I feel is pain. Oh god. I never thought that it would be like this. God, just take me now. I just want to go to my mom. Suddenly blackness claimed me. Darien's Point of View I ran to her. I couldn't stop it. Why couldn't I stop it, her, today, everything. I dimly noted that Raye, Lita, and Mina was right behind me. No. This can't be happening. Not Serena. "Serena!" I yelled. I got to her and cradled her head in my lap. She wasn't conscious "Call an ambulance!" Someone yelled. Serena's ribs looked like they are crushed. Blood pooled around us. I laid her out and began CPR. "An ambulance is coming!" A second person shouted. Raye was sobbing. She dropped to her knees beside Serena. Mina ran into the arcade to tell Amy what happened. Lita just stood there, in shock. A crowd was gathering around Serena. The second voice yelled at everyone to get back. A third person said, "I saw it happen. I got the license plate." Then three police cars cam around the corner, followed by two ambulances. Three paramedics rushed over to Serena. The other three ran into the arcade to get Andrew. The rest of it was a blur. The next thing I remember was sitting in the emergency room. Raye's Point of View I ran outside, right after Darien. Oh my god. Serena got hit by a car. Serena is lying in the middle of the street. She might die. This is all my fault. How could I do this to her? I was supposed to protect her. She is my best friend. Darien began CPR on her. I can't take it. Sobbing, I collapse to my knees next to Serena. I am sobbing so hard I can barely breathe. "No. No. No." I choke out. "This isn't real." First Andrew, then Serena, what is going to happen next? What did Serena do to deserve this? I have never been very nice to Serena, but really we are best friends. I have comforted her many a night when she cried over Darien. We spend a lot of time together. We normally see each other at night so no one expects that we are best friends. She was afraid that if any of the other Sailors found out that their feelings would be hurt. The only reason I tease her is to keep up appearances. Then she throws her fake tantrums. I don't know why no one can tell that she is faking it. But now we will never have it again. I can sense her life force growing weak. I can't sense her spirit. It is always there, even when she is unconcious. There is something wrong here. But for right now all I care about is whether Serena is going to live. The paramedics arrive. Darien is forced to leave Serena's side and so am I. A policewoman leads me away from the bloody scene so that the paramedics have enough room to save her. I collapse, sobbing on to her shoulder. She attempts to comfort me but I must find out what is going to happen to Serena. After checking her over the first paramedic shouts, "We have to get a helicopter here now! Her ribs are crushed and she is barely breathing!" The second one says, "Ok!" He then radios to the hospitol over a radio. "They are on their way!" The the two paramedics are now lifting Serena on a strecher. The other paramedic is staying in touch with the helicopter and is telling the piolet where Serena is and where to take her. I look around and see that the police have cleared the street. Some of them are questioning the witnesses. I turn to look at Serena. There are tears running down my face. The police woman has left me to go radio in for more police men. I turn to look at Serena, she is pale and her face is splattered with blood. Her hair is so covered in blood that if I didn't know that her hair was blonde, I would have guessed that it was red. I tried to look at her chest but it is too gruesome. Suddenly the wind picks up. The helicopter sets down and they load Serena into it. Then they take off for Tokyo Central Hospital. The helicopter left and I see Andrew being carried out of the arcade on a strecher. He has an IV in his arm. They load Andrew into one of the ambulances and it drives away. Amy came out right behind Andrew. She is hysterical. She runs over to me and asks, "Raye, what happened? Where is Serena? Is she ok?" Before I can answer she breaks down sobbing, "I don't know what is going on. I have never been in this kind of a situation before. I can't handle this. Where is Serena?" I collected myself and said, "Amy, Serena got hit by a car. She is in a helicopter being taken to Tokyo Central Hospital. And, and they don't know if she is going to make it!" Ok I am done with chapter 2. This has taken me forever. I am soooo tired of this music that I am going to scream. Hold on a second (Aurora walks away from the computer and into her closet. Suddenly an ear piercing scream is heard. Aurora walks out of the closet straightens her shoulders and walks back to the computer.) Ahhh I feel sooooo much better. I will have Chapter Three done by tomorow. Please e-mail me! I don't care if it is flames, praise, or anything but please let me know how you like it. @---<---- Aurora Serenity = )
