Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Broken Princess ❯ Broken Princess ( Prologue )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Hello, hello. This is my first fanfic, so I apologize in advance
if it sucks. Hehehehe.....

This is a U/M fic, and it is a bit dark. There are also some
violent areas and some reference to sex.

I don't own Sailor Moon, and I never will. I should also note that
there are a couple of lines from Leah Andreone's songs "Mother
Tongue" and "You Make Me Remember"-I will note which ones at the
end of the chapters where they appear.

Well, enjoy (hopefully) and pleeeeeaaase let me know what you
thought-good or bad. I appreciate your reading! ^___^

Prologue

A cool breeze blew through the warm summer night, lightly rustling
the leaves adorning the maple tree that stood proudly outside
Tsukino Usagi's bedroom window. Inside, the young girl lay, gripping
fiercely at her bed sheets. A thin layer of perspiration covered
her forehead and chest as she whimpered softly, almost fearfully.
The small black cat at the foot of her bed began to stir as her
sleeping owner's legs and arms started to thrash forcefully. Then,
just as suddenly as it began, the flailing stopped. Luna rose from
her curled-up position and slowly padded her way to the head of
Usagi's bed. She inspected the girl closely as to try and understand
what had just happened. Upon seeing that Usagi had once again returned
to a peaceful sleep, Luna turned to reoccupy her spot on the bed; but
just as she was about to lie down Usagi flew into sitting position and
let out a blood-curdling scream. Luna became terrified as she watched
Usagi pant and sob uncontrollably. Then, without warning, Usagi jumped
out of bed and frantically ran over to her mirror.

"Usagi-chan! What is it?" Luna cried.

Meanwhile, Usagi was furiously brushing her bangs out of her face.
She then turned to Luna gasping, "Do you see it, Luna? Do you see it?"

Luna looked at her confusedly, "See what, Usagi?"

Usagi looked angrily at her cat then turned to flip on her bedroom
light.

She heatedly pointed at her forehead and almost screamed at Luna,
"THIS!"

If possible, Luna looked even more confused, but then looked at Usagi
irritably, "Usagi-chan, I don't see anything. Did you think you had a
pimple or something?"

Usagi was suddenly taken aback. She whirled around to face her mirror,
and a look of shock fell upon her face. Luna was right. There was
nothing there. NOTHING! Usagi continued to stare at her reflection
bemused, "But I could have sworn..." she trailed off.

All of a sudden, there was a loud knock at her bedroom door followed
by, "Usagi! Are you alright?!" It was her mother's voice.

Usagi opened the door and found her mother breathing heavily. Man,
did she look worried. Usagi giggled nervously, "Um, heh, sorry, Mom.
I just had a bad dream, I guess. Um, sorry?"

"Tsukino Usagi, if you ever scare your dear mother like that again,
you'll be grounded for a month!" she yelled at her less than apologetic daughter.
Her mother angrily turned and walked back to her own
bedroom.

Once her parent's bedroom door had closed, Usagi closed hers as well.
She momentarily leaned against the back of her door, then slowly
walked back to her bed to sit down. Luna studied her closely before
speaking.

"Usagi-chan, it was just nightmare. You'll be fine. You should go
back to sleep, you've got school in the morning."

While Luna spoke, Usagi was staring blankly ahead. She felt so
perplexed. "It all seemed so real..." she whispered to herself. But
even more than confused, she felt incredibly sad, like her heart
had been mercilessly broken. Then she felt frustrated because she
wasn't sure why she felt this way. She can remember how the dream
felt, but she had no clue as to what she had dreamt of! The longer
Usagi sat there, the more tired she became, and she gently slid under
her covers and fell into a deep sleep, free of heart-wrenching
nightmares.
