Chapter 3
Neo-Queen Serenity walks through the corridors of the Insane Asylum. She stops at one door and looks through it. "Sir?" A guy in a white uniform walks up to her. "Yes?"
"I wish to see this boy."
"Of course."
The guy opens the door and lets her in. She walks over to the boy and sits next to him on his bed. "Elsion, it's been so long."
"I know."
He starts sobbing and buries his head in her dress. "How old are you now?"
"Ten."
"But your so small and when you were a little boy you grew so fast." "I'm... just a kid."
He keeps on sobbing. He's ten but he looks only four or five years old. She wishes she would have never let Celia put him in here. "I believe this emotion of being lonely has stopped your growth." "That's what Raye says."
He wipes some tears off his face and looks up at her. "Where's Raye?"
"She didn't come."
"I want to see Raye."
"You can see her tomorrow."
"I want to see her now!!"
He starts sobbing again and she gets up. "I'm sorry Elsion."
"It's not fair!!"
She walks out of the room and shuts the door. "I want to see Raye!!"
She sighs and walks down the corridor to enter another door. She keeps on walking till she reaches a door that has been repaired many times. "Corinn?"
"Huh?"
Corinn looks up from his bed and sees Neo-Queen Serenity's face. "Serena."
"You don't have to call me that."
"But it's your name."
"Would you like me to come in?"
"Yes."
She motions for a guy to unlock the door and he lets her in. She walks over and sits next to Corinn. "I'm so stupid."
"No you're not."
"I should have never treated Nerissa like that, now I've lost her."
"You haven't lost her."
"She hasn't come back since the day I tried to kill her."
"You didn't mean to hurt her."
"I was so mad! After being locked up in here for so long, you lose all hope. I just want things to be like they use to be before this became Crystal Tokyo. Everyone hates their lives like this except for you."
"I'm sorry Corinn, but we can not change the past."
"We can change the future."
"Yes."
"Can you help me get out of here?"
"I wish I could."
"But you're the queen and I wish to see Nerissa. I miss her so much. I want to tell her how sorry I am."
"You're right. I'll get you out of here."
She stands up and heads for the door. "Don't forget Corinn, we're going to change the future."
"Right."
She leaves. Moments later Corinn hears the locks on the door being messed with. "Hello?" "The door opens and a guy steps in. "Alright, Corinn. You're free to leave."
"Really?"
"Yep, get out of here."
Corinn gets up and walks out the door. She turns her head and sees Neo-Queen Serenity standing beside the door. She runs over to her and hugs her. "Thank you so much." "You should go see Nerissa now."
"She's still here, right?"
"Of course."
Corinn lets go of her and starts running for the exit. When she reaches the door she stops and stares at the handle. The woman at the front desk watches him. "What are you waiting for? The queen gave us a direct order to let you go. You should be happy."
"I am."
She opens the door and runs outside, letting the rays of the sun warm up her cold dark body. "It's so nice to actually see the sun again."
Neo-Queen Serenity walks up behind her and puts her hand on Corinn's shoulder. "She's waiting for you."
She looks across the field to see Nerissa looking at her. "Nerissa."
She starts running for Nerissa and she hugs her. "Nerissa."
"Corinn."
"I'm so sorry."
"It's okay. I'm just glad you're back to your normal self."
King Darien walks up behind Neo-Queen Serenity. "Serenity."
"Darien."
"So Corinn is back to normal."
"She was always normal. She just didn't realize it."
"What about Elsion?"
"They wouldn't let him go. They said he had much to learn."
"Poor kid."
"I should have let Sailor Pluto take care of him. He hasn't even grown since I last saw him."
"But that was ten years ago."
"I know. I guess the loneliness stopped his growth."
"It must have."
"I think I will let Sailor Pluto take care of him for awhile. At least till he's back to normal."
"Yes, that would be a good idea."
"I just hope he's willing to cooperate."
