Title: Another Chance at Love

Summary: Serenity lives in a world where the attack on the Moon succeeded. She watches her mother and love die and is then put into slavery.

Disclaimer: I do not (unfortunately) own Sailor Moon and never will (no matter how many times I wish for it)

Chapter 1:

I looked down at the disaster that used to be my kingdom, the beautiful Luna in it's Silver Millennium, the most beautiful and prosperous time ever before. It was now in ruin, utter catastrophe.

On the balcony I could see her Senshi and Soldiers fighting the people of Terra. There were her Endymion's guards, Kunzite, Nephrite, Jadeite, and Zoicite who were fighting their respective loves, because Beryl had utterly brain-washed them, causing them to go insane and fight only for Beryl, betraying their Prince.

My dear Endymion was down there fighting his own people and only because of me. He loved me so much that he would fight till the end to protect me, and those I cared about.

All of a sudden a large woman floated up to the balcony looking at me with such hatred.

"Serenity! You- you are the reason that this is happening! If you had not taken MY Endymion, then this would not be happening! Suffer for all time for this!" she screamed in my face, all the while growing bigger and bigger till she was almost 10 times my size.

"Beryl! Don't even think about it!" Endymion called as he jumped onto the balcony from the gardens

"My dear Endymion. Is this what you wanted? A desolate kingdom and this wispy girl?! You could have ruled beside me in all the glory that is our Terra!" Beryl said trying to convince Endymion one last time

"Never! You are not half the woman Serenity is! And this kingdom, had it joined with Terra would have been even more amazing! Look what you've done! The downfall of two great kingdoms! You will not live for this" He screamed back up to her

"Then your love must die! If I can't have you, no one can!" she said as she gathered her dark energy from the people of Terra below her.

"Endymion! Leave! She only wants to kill me! You can get away!" I shouted at him over the screams while we jumped off the balcony together, trying to avoid getting hit by the dark energy.

All of a sudden something grabbed my foot from beneath me, as I stumbled onto the ground, I saw Kunzite, Endymion's Top Guard, the love of my dear Venus. He had caught my leg to stop me from getting away from Beryl who by now had turned around and was aiming at me once again.

Endymion had stopped, a few feet behind me, realizing that I had tripped. He stood frozen in fear at Beryl's great power gathered and aimed at me. She let all of it fly right at me and I stood in defiance, ready for the pain, to protect my kingdom and love.

But I never felt it. I opened my eyes and there stood Endymion, almost charcoal black.

"ENDYMION! Oh my goddess! Endy?! Why? Why did you do that?" I cried as he fell backwards, pushing me down with him. I struggled to lay his head into my lap.

I looked up quickly to see where Beryl had gone and saw my mother with the crystal facing Beryl.

"Sere? Are you okay?" he asked coughing up ash and blood

"Endy! I'm fine, why did you do that!? She would have hit me and been distracted and you could have lived. You would have lived my sweet!" I whispered to him as tears flowed down my face.

"I love you Sere, never forget that! We may not be together this day or the next day but one day we will be together again! Aisheterou Serenity" he whispered as he slipped away from me

"ENDYMION!" I cried, wracking with sobs, shivering in the despair that had just drenched my heart.

I looked up at my mother and saw her with tears in her eyes, defending our kingdom and me.

"Beryl! This ends now! You are not going to succeed! Oh Goddess Selene, lend me your power to defend my kingdom and my daughter! The Silver Crystal's owner beseeches you as my mother, and her mother and her mother before did, and one day as my daughter will. Let me protect these people who I have loved and always will love! Queen Selenity begs of you!" She cried holding the Silver Crystal above her.

There was a great silver light and I stared in wonder. It shot straight into the Silver Crystal and into my mother who glowed in silver also. She gathered her power as Beryl, and everyone in the vicinity stared in amazement

There was a great big flash that shot straight from the Silver Crystal and at Beryl. Beryl just in time put up a dark barrier, but the barrier did not even last for a second, it cracked and the silver light encompassed her and shrunk her down to normal size. She floated down to the floor where she was dropped, obviously dead.

Queen Selenity, my mother, fell to the ground, her power completely drained and looked on in relief, and she had saved the kingdom and her daughter.

I cleared my head and seeing that the Lunarians were retaking the city, sighed in relief. I looked down at Endymion, tears in my eyes once again. "We shall be together in death my love!" I whispered as I took up his sword and pulled it to my chest.

"The city is saved and my mother is alive! I am happy that I am not leaving my kingdom to destruction! Luna will always overcome! I leave to go to my love where we can always be together" I whispered to myself.

But before I could push the sword through my body, a white-gloved hand snatched the sword away from me. I looked up in fear at Diamond's face, his anger at my position. His eyes flashed in resolution, "Luna is now mine!" he said smirking at my fearful expression

He got up with the sword, leaving me on the floor, he walked up to my mother, who was still half-sitting on the ground. "Queen Selenity, I ask for you to surrender the Silver Crystal and your kingdom and I will let you live." He said to her as he crouched down in front of her.

She gasped "Diamond? You are one of Serenity's suitors, are you not? Why are you speaking this way?" in amazement

"You are in no way able to protect your kingdom from the Dark Moon forces now that you have almost expended all your energy, Queen. Surrender now, and I will spare you and your kingdom." He said to her.

I gasped in fear, this had been his plan; he had known about Beryl and just bided his time while she weakened the Kingdom and my mother.

I glared at him while he waited for my mother's response, he glanced at me and shot me a lust-filled smile, a smile for power, and a smile for me! How dare he?

"Diamond! I will never surrender my kingdom" she said as she once again held her Silver Crystal close to her heart and rose

He shrugged his shoulder, "Okay then, DIE!" he screamed as he took Endymion's sword, which he still clutched in his hand and stabbed it through my mother.

"MOTHER!" I cried in pain as I pushed off Endymion's body and crawled towards her.

When I reached I heard her whisper, "Serenity, my dear Serenity, take the Silver Crystal and hide it within you and save yourself, I love you Serenity. Everything I ever did, I did for you, my dear" she said as her spirit faded from existence.

"Mommy! NO!!!" I cried even louder, holding her close to me. Silently and invisibly, the Silver Crystal seeped into my heart, giving me strength.

As fast as I could I stood, facing Diamond. "Diamond! You will die for this!" I said as he smirked at me. He quickly walked toward me and took the sword again and pierced my shoulder, making the sword exit from the back. I silently fell forward, tears falling from my eyes, into his arms and lost consciousness.

I awoke on a silky bedspread and opened my eyes and looked at the black room surrounding me. Where was I? This wasn't my room. I tried to sit up and gasped at the pain shooting through my shoulder. I was dressed in my gown but there was so much blood all over it.

Then I remembered.

My Senshi falling, my Endymion falling and my mother being ruthlessly murdered by –

"Good morning Serenity. How is your wound?" asked a mocking voice. I looked for the source and there he was- Diamond.

"Diamond! You-you evil being! What have you done?!" I shouted at him as I ignored the pain and sat up.

"I am the sole owner of Luna at its peak! And the sole owner of the most beautiful woman in the Solar System! What have I done? I have everything I have ever wanted!" he said as he leered at me.

I shrunk back as I saw his confidence and happiness at killing my mother, as I said "You are despicable!" he began to walk towards me, when he reached me, I gathered all the spit I could and spit in his face.

His eyes flashed in anger, his arm came and slapped me in the face, causing me to collapse onto the bed once again.

"You will respect your master!" he shouted in my face as he leaned over me.

"My master? You are not my master! I am the Princess- no Queen of Luna! I do not have a master!" I shouted right back into his face, feeling the most anger I had ever felt before in my life.

"You are the property of Dark Moon and me! You are no longer the heir to Luna, as I am now the King" he said through clenched teeth. I glared at him, and if looks would kill he would be roasting on the floor. He felt the animosity and said, "Learn your place slave!"

I turned away from his face, seemingly defeated for today. My shoulder ached more than ever before, and the ache was spreading throughout my body slowly.

"Where is the Silver Crystal Serenity?" Diamond said as I turned away. "I don't know, master" I said, the last word dripping with hatred.

"You know where it is! I am not stupid Serenity! The Silver Crystal passes through generation and generation through the female daughter of the Queen. Three guesses as to who that is!" he said, as his anger was once again apparent.

I blinked and looked at him again as I said, "I don't know!"

He leaned on my body as hard as he could and I had difficulty breathing, smirking at the picture he asked me for it again. I ignored him as I tried to breathe.

He stopped the leaning and raised his right hand, making sure I was watching, he dropped it to my shoulder and pressed his thumb into the bandage that was covering my wound.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" I cried in pain, sharp pains were shooting throughout my body, then he wasn't only pressing his thumb into my wound, he started shooting dark energy into my body.

"I will ask you again, where is it!" he shouted over my screams of pain

"I-I d-d-don't know" I whispered as I started to writhe in agony as the dark energy reached my heart and head.

He got off of me and slowed the dark energy till it stopped. The pain was still shooting through my body and I was still writhing. He watched above me in amusement, finally the pain slowed slightly, allowing me to stop writhing.

I closed my eyes, I was exhausted, between my kingdom's fall, my shoulder wound and the black energy coursing through my body, I did not have enough energy to even lift a finger.

The last thing I saw was Diamond smirking above me and saying "Sweet dreams, Serenity," then I felt no more as I drifted off into sleep.

It was nightmares galore, I saw every bad moment of my life, them climaxing at Endymion, my Senshi and my mother dying.

I awoke to darkness surrounding the room. I glanced next to me and saw Diamond staring at me. He was only wearing some pants, and my eyes widened at this. He had obviously been watching me ever since I had fallen asleep, who knows how long ago. I looked down at my own body and gasped at the material that was covering my body. Soft as silk, it was a beautiful dress. My shoulder wound had been cleaned and re-bandaged. How had I not felt this before? The pain was a lot less though and I could move freely.

I glanced at Diamond again, who was surprisingly silent, he just glanced at my face; his eyes had a slight glassy look to them as if he was somewhere else.

I turned away from him onto my non-wounded shoulder and curled up into a small ball.

The tears started flowing silently till I reached my maximum and heavy sobs wracked my body for hours. I couldn't stop crying, the tears and sobs just kept coming, seemingly ever lasting. I felt the weight next to me disappear and knew Diamond had left the room, and this released my wails. The wails echoed through the room, making them insanely louder than possible. I knew those in other rooms and everywhere in the kingdom my wails and sobs could be heard.

Those with hearts would be crying, to hear such a sad and touching cry would be heartbreaking.

After a little longer the cries became smaller and I could breathe deeply again. The room had such a dark and musty smell to it, the air filled with Dark power, I couldn't even breathe properly anymore. I covered my mouth and nose with a piece of my dress, and this allowed me to breathe without hurting me.

I lay awake for a few moments longer, wondering what would become of me and what would become of my kingdom. I finally fell into a deep sleep, but this time I didn't see death, no I saw life and love.

All the happy times in my life; spending time with my Senshi, Mercury with her smarts, Jupiter with her strength, Venus with her love and brightness, and Mars with her anger, yet love. They were alive just to protect me, what would they feel when they found out they had failed, they would feel horrible. I prayed in my sleep, that they find happiness that they deserved, that they know I loved them and that I would never, ever blame them for what happened.

Then I saw my times with mother, all our lessons together, her teaching me how to be a princess, I remembered a specific time with her, when she had been teaching me about the Silver Crystal.

"The Silver Crystal helps those who help themselves, Serenity. But one must be ready to ask for the help of the Silvery Crystal. The day will come when you will receive the Silver Crystal, we do not know how long it will take the Silver Crystal to respond. It took me a whole 10 years before I was ready to use it. I know for sure that you, Serenity, will not take that long. Your capacity to love will charge the crystal and you will be the strongest of us all. Be strong. Whatever happens, believe in love…" the face and voice of Queen Selenity faded.

Last I saw my love, Endymion. I saw when I first met him, how we both hated each other because the other had the same amount of guts as the other, but I grew to love him more than I loved anyone else. His smile, his eyes, his laughter, his strengths, and his weaknesses, I knew them all. I knew him better than I knew myself. I would forever feel as if a great part of me was gone. A ginormous hole right in the middle of my heart.

Would I be able to love?

I awoke at this question. I felt eyes on me, but I kept my eyes closed, better not to let Diamond know I was awake.

The bed push down slightly as Diamond leaned on it. I felt his lips push down on mine and I gasped, allowing him entrance. My eyes shot open, my body groaning in anger at being disturbed.

For what seemed like eternity I lay there, his tongue pushing itself down my throat. I finally gathered enough energy to raise my hands and push him. He did not budge, rather he started getting more excited and crawled over my body. I stared at him in horror.

I gathered even more energy and started moving underneath him, trying to get him off of me, he groaned in pleasure, seemingly enjoying my body moving beneath his. I pushed him again, and once again he pushed harder into my body. Finally his mouth released mine.

He had obviously known I was awake. "Serenity" he moaned, in intense pleasure, after this kiss he had brutally taken from me

"Get off of me Diamond!" I seethed at him, pushing him harder than before.

He rolled off of me and landed next to me. "That was amazing!" he said as his eyes closed, still in immense pleasure. I sat up and inched away from him, what I saw stopped me in my tracks. His member was almost completely straight.

My eyes widened in realization, he was aroused. He wanted me! I almost started to hyperventilate, but I managed to calm myself. No use just telling Diamond that what power he had over me.

I decided that I should just ignore him right now. If he forgot, then maybe he wouldn't want what every man had always wanted from me.

My stomach decided it had enough and growled louder than ever before. This was the hungriest I had ever been in my life. It seemed like I had not eaten in two days, which I wouldn't be surprised was the amount of time I had spent in this room.

Diamond must have heard because he got up and walked to the door and said something to someone who was outside of it.

Within minutes there was a tray of delicious food in his hands and he walked back to the bed and placed the tray in front of me.

I looked at the food. It looked so good.

But it could be poisoned! Another way to trick me! I could believe Diamond would stoop that low. Look at what he had tried to do at the balls.

There would be three balls in which I would choose my fiancé. There had been hundreds of men, and it had surprised me. All these men were competing for my hand in marriage. I spent countless hours with the final 5, and Diamond had been one, along with Endymion as another. I barely remember the other 3, one's name had been Seiya; I think I liked him. All had been perfect gentlemen, Seiya had been the friend, Endymion had been the one I always fought with and Diamond, he was the one constantly trying to woo me. The Prince of Dark Moon, he was a handsome man, but he always seemed an empty shell to me. The only interests I saw were of women, kingdom politics and of games. I guess that was what a Prince of Dark Moon was required to know. I had not really liked him but mother saw a convenience if I married him, in which Dark Moon would be united with Luna, finally stopping the discontent of Dark Moon. I remember when I had started to get to know Endymion and started to fall in love with him, it was as if Diamond knew and he tried everything to get me to forget Endy. He tried bribing me with handsome gifts, he tried badmouthing Endymion and many other things, but fortunately nothing had worked. He was a master of trickery and deceit, I had to be careful.

"Serenity? Are you there?" Diamond asked startling me from my thoughts. It was weird but he actually sounded…worried. Did he really? Wait! No! Master of trickery and deceit! I have to remember that!

"Oh, I'm sorry. Just remembering how I watched my love, my friends and then my mother die at your hands!" I said while staring at the food. I couldn't eat any…but if I didn't, Diamond would just force me to and that would probably be worse.

I picked up a piece of bread and ate a little of it. Two seconds later I was stuffing whatever I could touch into my mouth. How could I? This was almost complete betrayal. Diamond watched in amazement as I ate. I stopped pretty soon and realized that none of the food would stay down, not after what I had seen. I saw a flash of Endymion in my arms, then my mother, and I ran to a door in the room, which I had long suspected as the bathroom. I ran to the toilet and emptied all I had just eaten.

"Well that was a waste" Diamond said as he walked into the bathroom. I dry heaved into the toilet, gagging in the pain of my heart.

I stood up, somehow still seemingly elegant and started washing out my mouth in the sink. I saw Diamond looking at me from the mirror and just kept ignoring him.

After I felt a little better I pushed past Diamond and walked back out to the bedroom and sat down on the bed.

"What do you want from me?" I asked him as he walked out of the bathroom

"I want you Serenity, I always have" he answered me as he started walking towards the bed again.
