Chapter 6
~*A Dream of Long Ago*~
~* The young girl smiled, as she ran through the fields and fields of beautiful flowers. She turned and saw the face of the mother of long ago, her smiling grey eyes filled with love. The girl ran into her mother's arms and the fell into the soft flowers giggling. Then the girls was lifted into the strong arms of her father and kissed on the cheek, all the while, the loving laughter never ceasing. She was put on the ground and began to pick flowers. She gave a yellow flower to her mother and a blue flower to her father. The girl heard her name from her mother's lips. "Gabriella." Gabriella picked a pick flower and sniffed it's sweet scent.
She felt eyes watching her, and Gabriella turned to the large mansion just outside the field of flowers. Cold, identical grey eyes stared back at her in resentment. The girl standing on the steps of the mansion was a couple of years older then Gabriella. The girl turned her gaze to thier mother. Her eyes softened and a smile formed on her lips. Gabriella felt her mother's presence beside her. Her mother, Lorelei, glanced at the house then looked away. Gabriella frowned in confusion. She walked toward the girl, intending to give the girl a pink flower. The girl's eyes widened in surprise, then wariness. Lorelei stopped Gabriella with a hand on her shoulder, and shook her head.
Gabriella took another step toward the girl. "Beatrix," she whispered. "My sister."
Gabriella felt a large balst of cold wind hit her face and the world seemed to turn. Her youthful self disappeared and she saw herself become a teenager. "No," she pleaded, "I don't want to remember this." She began walking, and tried to stop, but the dream continued on. She walked the halls of the mansion home she had known all her life. She stopped in front of a door leading into her mother's room. She looked down the corridor and saw the others. Andrea and Melody were entertaining two year old Dora, while the other's paced nervously. Gabriella smiled sadly. Ever since the eight girls arrived when they were no older then Dora was now, Gabriella had raised them, and taught them to be warriors and follow the destiny their birth's ordained.
Gabriella took a deep breath and entered her mother's chambers. She saw Beatrix sitting at one corner, facing their mother's bed. She approached her mother's bed and looked upon the once youthful and laughing face of her mother. Now her face was etched in pain and fear. Lorelei motioned to Gabriella and Beatrix. She spoke to Beatrix first. "You are my first born. I may have sired you with my first husband,a man I loathed, but I do care for you." She turned to Gabriella and gave a pained smile. "My lovely Gaby. When I married your father after Beatrix's father died, I was the happiest woman on earth, and the galaxies. Now, you are all that is left. Take care of the others Gaby. Do not allow yourself to marry a man for duty." Lorelei raised a hand to Gabreilla's face. "I love you Gaby. Never forget that." Lorelei took Gabriella's, and Beatrix's hand, and linked them together. "Do not forget who you are." With a final breath, her eyes closed. "Mother?" Beatrix cried. "Mother no, please."
Gabriella went to Beatrix and held her close. She felt her sister's chest heave andshe shook. Beatrix whispered, "I am so sorry mother. I ruined your life." Gabriella shook her head. "No, don't say that." Beatrix pushed away from her and stood. "Don't touch me." Pure loathing sparked from her eyes. Beatrix pointed at Gabriella. "If you hadn't been born things could have been different." Gabriella shivered at her words, but said nothing. Beatrix rushed out of the room, and Gabriella followed her. She took Dora from Andrea's arms, and turned back to her younger sister. "It is all your fault. Why couldn't you have just..." She paused, shook her head and disappeared in a flash of light. Gabriella Saskia, Fourth Guardian of the System's Galaxies, and only daughter of Daniel Saskia, stared after her sister. Her half-sister. Guilt washed over her, and self loathing. "I am sorry my sister. Forgive me." Tear streamed down her face, and she slide to the floor and wept, not just for the loss of her mother, but also for the loss of her sister, who never knew just how much she loved her. *~
Gabriella blinked. She awoke from her dream in a fog and for a second her vision made her believe she was home. Then her vision cleared and she saw the pale yellow walls and remembered this was her room in the mansion in past Tokyo. She sat up quickly, ignoring the pain in her head and turned to Helen, who watched her with knowing eyes.
"Your dreams of not to your liking,"she said. Gabriella smiled sadly. "They remind me just how much someone needs to know how much someone loves them. How are the others?"
Helen laughed. "As well as can be expected. The sailor scouts came with us here. Things are a bit tense, but other then that, all is well."
"Do they know about the Silvers and their situation?" Helen snorted unladylike. "Do you think Andrea would let anyone tell them. Besides, they know enough." Both girls turned toward the open door, as a chilling scream drifted through. Gabriella turned a questioning eye to Helen. "Dora," she said simply. "Ah," Gabriella said. The past night's events came back to her and she looked down at her stomach. There was a barely noticable scar, but other then that, she was fine.
Gabriella stood up and walked out of her room and into the living room. Andrea, Melissa and the others stood off to one side, while on the other side of the room, young women sat on the sofa, staring at the silvers. One girl, who she remembered to be named Serena from her math class stood up and greeted her. "Hello Ms. Saskia, I am Serena." Gabriella smiled. "I know who you are. I take you all are the Sailor Scouts." They all nodded. Gabriella scanned the room and almost laughed. The silvers were almost the spitting image of their grandparents, not to mention they seemed to have adopted certain personality traits from them as well. Amanda and Amy were both calculating something on their portable computers, Andrea and Amara were standing with their arms crossed, glaring at each other, Ruby and Raye were praying for guidance, Melody and Michelle were smiling at each other, Melissa and Mina were brushing their hair, Tara and Trista were staring solemnly at each other, Larissa and Lita were exchanging cooking tips, and Helen and Hotaru were laughing together. Gabriella couldn't help but smile.
Everyone in the room froze, when another ear spliting scream zing through the air. "Let me out. You will pay for this, you hear me? My mother will destroy you all. Do you hear me? She will never let you destroy her plans. The Sailor Scouts will die!"Dora screamed from behind the door of the Larissa's room. Gabriella walked to the door, and placed her hand upon it. "I am sorry," she whispered.
"Not as sorry as I am," a chilling voice inserted. Gabriella turned and faced the holographic image of her sister. "Beatrix."
"Gabriella. It has been a long time." Gabriella smiled sadly. "Ten years." Beatrix waved a dismissive hand. "And now you have my daughter. A shame. I thought I had trained her well. But twelve year olds are so undisciplined." Andrea pushed off of the wall. "What do you want Beatrix?" Beatrix turned coldly amused eyes to the silvers. "I want a trade. I want my daughter back."
"In exchange for what?" Amanda asked. "In exchange for her," Beatrix replied. She disappeared and in her place was an image of Princess Reini of the Future. "She has nothing to do with this,"Gabriella stated, stiffening. "No, she doesn't," Beatrix agreed, "But being the compassionate save all kind of person you are, you wouldn't let her die, even if it meant losing me." The Silvers remained silent for several seconds, then Gabriella said, "What do you want us to do?"
"Meet Kaymon at the Larados Bridge in an hour." An image of a tall young alien, with purple hair came into view. "And don't be late," Beatrix said, and the images disappeared.
They could all hear Dora's triuphant laughter behind Larissa's door, and Gabriella stood perfectly still. "What are we going to do?" Ruby asked. Gabriella looked at Sailor Moon and said softly. "We are going to trade them, and hopefully defeat Beatrix. Together?" she asked, looking at Serena and the others. "Together," they agreed.
