Nightmare

Usagi woke up groggy. \" Oh my head...\" What was going on? She knew she was in the future, trying to save Chibi-Usa mother- who had turned out to be herself! The last thing she remembered was dropping Chibi-Usa into Tuxedo Kamen’s arms as Diamond hypnotized her, lifting her up, and--



\"So, my beautiful, you\'re awake. Anyone else would have been out for days, but not you. I knew you were special.\" Speak of the devil, Diamond himself stood over the bed, floating in the air and smiling slightly.



Bed? Usagi’s brain still wasn\'t working properly; she looked around to get her bearings and gasped. Think, odango-brain. She was in some sort of bedroom in a cave with the guy who had tried so hard to kill her and her friends. Usagi got the chills, looked down and got another shock. What had happened to her senshi uniform? She was in that silly dress her future self had worn in the hologram. Plain white nightgown-looking thing, nothing underneath it, no decorations or bows to keep her locket. Her locket! Usagi, now close to panicked, groped around till she found it lying next to her. She tried to transform with no luck. Diamond just smiled more widely at her fright.



\"Your precious Silver Crystal doesn\'t work this close to my Dark Crystal, Serenity. Do you like it? I gave you a power boost from it, your first taste. But you\'ll have more, don\'t worry. You\'ll be here for a long time.\"



Diamond looked her in the eyes, hypnotizing her just like before. She couldn\'t move! Slowly she floated up from the bed to where Diamond held her in place. He grabbed her in an obscene embrace, and she could feel his hardness through the thin gown-- and blushed to realize there was only one person who could have put that nightdress on her. Diamond grinned again, and his arms, wrapped around her, clutched her soft butt.


\"So smart, yet so modest, my princess. Don\'t you know how long I\'ve had this planned? Since I first saw your beautiful blue eyes.\" He chuckled, his eyes roaming lower. “Among your other lovely assets, I must say.“

Her mind raced as she tried to think of a way out. This just wasn\'t right! Mamo-chan would save her, he always did. But where was he? Usagi heart sank to remember that he didn\'t know where she was, none of her friends knew. So no saviors, no transforming, no way out, and she still couldn\'t move, not even speak! Terrified, she slipped partially into shock and her brain tried to deny that she was even in the situation. No, this isn\'t happening, I\'m not really here, no, no, no...



\"I meant what I said, lovely princess. Get used to this place. You\'ll be here for a very, very long time. Maybe you‘ll enjoy it… someday.\" He slid his tongue into her frozen mouth as they floated down to the bed, lifting the white skirt of her gown, and her mind, the only part that she had control of, screamed NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!



---------------------------------------



\"NO! NO! NO!\" Usagi sat straight up, tears running down her face and her throat sore from lockn scn screams. The entire math class staat hat her agape. Miss Haruna, her teacher, rushed over to see what was the matter.



\"Usagi, are you all right? I was just lecturing on repeating decimals. I know math isn\'t your favorite subject, but you don\'t have to get that upset about it!\"



\"I\'m sorry, Haruna-san.\" Usagi realized what must have happened. \"I fell asleep in class again and had a nightmare. I\'ll stay after school for detention this afternoon.\"



\"No, that\'s quite all right. I think you\'ve punished yourself enough this time.\" She walked back to the front of the room, then paused, one eyebrow raised. \"By the way, what was your nightmare about? It sounded horrible. You yelled like you were being murdered.\"



Usagi stared at her desk and wiped her eyes. \"It wasn\'t horrible, ma\'am. Something happened once and it was bad, it could have been horrible, but I was saved in time. In my nightmare, though, I wasn\'t saved at all.\"



Miss Haruna looked at her skeptically, but went on with the lesson. Usagi concentrated on the decimals and tried her best to replace Diamond\'s ice-blue eyes with the math problems. She couldn\'t.
