| Chapter 9 |
| ~*A Sister's right*~ |
| The Silver and Sailor Senshi and Dora watched as the palace began to fall apart with growing apprehension. Suddenly there was a loud crack, and the entire palace fell to the ground. For several seconds they could only stare in silence, then Dora screamed, "NO!" Silver Uranus held her back from running into the dust cloud of debris. "This can't be how it ends," Sailor Moon cried, her eyes brimming with tears. The Silver Senshi wept silently, mourning the loss of their friend, their sister. Mina put her arms around Melissa, and for the first time, Melissa accepted her comfort. Amara patted Andrea on the back softly, and Andrea gave her a small smile. Silver Mercury and Saturn were trying to comfort Dora, when Dora shouted, "Look!" The cloud of dust was clearing, and a shadowed began to emerge from it. Silver Sailor Galaxy walked slowly toward the shocked group, her walk painful. Her uniform was torn and bloody in several places. In her arms was the unconscious body of Beatrix. Many feet away, she stopped in her tracks, shifted Beatrix slightly in her arms, and said, "The threat is over. Beatrix the Feared, is no more. The monster has been eliminated." Almost as if the last of her energy had been used to say that very sentence, Galaxy sanked to the floor, taking the body of Beatrix with her, Galaxy's body protecting her sister's from hitting the ground. Dora sobbed with happiness, and raced toward her mother and aunt, the senshi right behind her. *~Lorelei Darklier-Saskia clutched Sailor Mercury's hand for dear life. Her stomach contracted, and she felt the pain explode in her lower stomach and lower back. Sailor Mercury smiled at her reassuringly, but Lorelei could see her brows come together in concern. "Lady Lorelei, you are going to have to push, okay? Push for everything you have worth. If you want to save this baby, you are going to have to get her out now!" Lorelei clentched her teeth, and felt the contractions return with the familiar searing pain, and pushed hard, her body straining. Seconds later, she heard the sweet sound of her daughter crying and Sailor Mercury held her up with a huge grin. "Congradulations Lord and Lady Saskia, it is a healthy baby girl...Lord Saskia?" The two women stared down at the unconscious form of Daniel Saskia, who even now had a white palor to his skin. Lorelei clutched her newest daughter to her chest and smiled serenely. Sailor Mercury cleaned her hands and went outside to announce the baby's arrival. The Sailor Senshi piled in, with a reluctant four year old Beatrix at their side. Sailor Mercury motioned the girl forward, and she advanced, a childlike curiousity on her face. "No," Lorelei said, "I don't think that would be--" "You don't think that would be what, Lorelei? Is it not right for a big sister to bond with her baby sister?" Neo-Queen Serenity stood in the doorway, beautiful and serene as ever. Lorelei's face flushed pink. Serenity continued. "You must remember Lady, that she is not her father, and deserves love, just as the daughter in your arms does. I remember how you used to play with her. Now you can all play together. Do not fear her, for your blood runs through her vains. With love, you can all be a family." Lorelei smiled through her tears, and beckoned her daughter forward. Beatrix did so quietly, her solemn grey eyes viewing her sister for the first time. When little Gabriella's face slowly formed a baby's smile, Beatrix's cold eyes warmed, and she laughed. Lorelei stared at her oldest daughter with surprise. It had been an eternity since she heard her laugh. "Lord Saskia?" Neo-Queen Serenity prompted. Daniel sat up and shook his head. "Oh no, is the baby ok? Is my wife ok? What happened?" Sailor Mercury smiled. "Your wife and baby are fine." Daniel stood up and let out a whoop of joy. Gathering Beatrix in his arms, he twirled her around the room, and hugged her tight. Beatrix, who was normally stiff and unyielding when Daniel did such things, melted into his arms, and for the first time hugged him back. Daniel's smile broadened. Lorelei motioned them back to her, and embraced them both to her, and the three stared down at their newest member. "Now we can be a family. All of us," Lorelei said. Daniel let out a breathe of relief. "It is about time!" ~* |
