1 The Forgotten Sailor
These puny chains tightly pressed against my wrists and ankles are merely token gestures, serving no purpose except flaunting the apparent limitless power of those pathetically over-confident bitches above. Closing my eyes and releasing a few calming breaths as I silently bide my time. One day very soon I'll return and slaughter them all....This I solemnly promise.
"We don't have to fight Mizuha."
Slowly opening my eyes and narrowing my gaze towards the delicate figure staring precariously towards me beyond the magically-reinforced glass. Ami Mizuno (aka Sailor Mercury) fully clothed in her white and aqua blue Sailor outfit, her glistening blue hair dazzlingly bright in the low-lit conditions of this hell-hole several feel below ground, nervously gulped before taking a few tentative steps towards me as my blood soaked lips pursed into a knowing smile.
"Mizuno if you truly believe that, you'd lower the barrier."
My snake-like tongue lapped insatiably between my cheeks as a glorious opportunity finally presented itself. Ami was highly intelligent and yet her blind faith towards the good in all humans would inevitably lead to a very gruesome death....Most likely sooner rather than later.
"You know I can't do that Mizuha...."
Slumping my arms hopelessly by my sides whilst releasing an exaggerated sigh produced the desired effect as Ami took a few short steps closer, her trembling hands nervously raised until finally resting upon my glass prison. My inevitable escape requires relaxed and carefully planned movements and decisions, taking a few measured glances towards the shoddily painted walls of my pathetically cramped cell before finally resting my gaze upon Ami's warm features.
12 depressingly long years I've endured being locked away by that dog of a Queen for my so called "unforgivable crimes." Slowly but surely biding my time whilst building my own illusionary reality, subtly hinting towards fake feelings of sorrow and regret whilst internally plotting my viciously unspeakable revenge.
"Mizuno do you believe I'm guilty of the crimes they say?"
They say love is our deepest and most instinctual of emotions, a carnal desire satiated via our animal desires towards raw intimacy. But they're wrong, our strongest and most entrancing emotion is in fact self-doubt. Sow the seeds of doubt in another's mind and all their emotions, thoughts and desires will eventually be overcome by uncertainty. Doubt requires constant delicate nurturing and reaffirmation to the extent that the person is unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
"I Believe in Moon and Tux....."
Ami's crestfallen gaze coupled with her crimson-tinged cheeks did little to reaffirm her shaken loyalty towards her beloved king and queen. Slowly swinging my legs off the mattress and onto the cold hard floor below, I tenderly lowered my hand towards the area where Ami's cheek was situated on the other side of the glass as her tear-soaked eyes slowly raised to meet my own,
"And yet they've never cared about your suffering....But I care about you Ami.....I always have."

My eyes widened towards Ami's hand resting upon the leaver controlling the magical reinforcement, holding me captive in this prison for what felt an eternity. Slowly raising to her feet the first hint of a smile pursed across my lips as I easily ripped the chains that bound me before magically shifting and re-emerging with my arms wrapped lovingly around Ami's delicate shoulders.
"Shhh It's OK Ami."
Affectionately rubbing Ami's back as I carefully kissed Ami's soft neck, before slowly running my hand under her shirt and proceeding to caress her perky bare breasts. Ami's cheeks instantly blazed a deep shade of red as she began breathing heavily whilst squealing in ecstasy.
"Thank you Ami...Thank you."
Ami rested her head against my shoulder as her warm breath brushed tenderly across my skin. Slowly opening my mouth, a familiar feeling bubbled within me as a terrifying power lying dormant for years finally began it's long awaited resurgence. Plunging my teeth deep into Ami's neck caused her to release a piercing scream. Quickly placing my hand across her face before snapping her head flat towards her back as Ami's lifeless eyes instantly rolled into the back of her head. A thick warm stream of blood gushed across my lips and onto the floor as I removed my mouth from her neck and allowed her limp body to fall.
Gleefully wiping the blood from my mouth with my now blood-soaked shirt, a low victorious howl escaped my lips as footsteps thundered down the stairs towards my location. Magically-shifting outside the palace walls, I smiled towards the heavens as I slowly ambled towards civilisation, pondering how best to put 12 long years of undisturbed planning into action.
===============================================================
[At Rei Hino's House]
"Master....Ami's been brutally butchered by Mizuha."
Rei refused to speak any words or publicly portray any emotions as she began calmly lacing her war-wearied leather boots before slowly walking towards her dresser. Her loyal servant dutifully bowed before silently exiting the room as Rei tenderly caressed the familiar headband Ami had lovingly bought her for her 18th birthday. Sniffing as she wiped the solitary tear forming just below her left eye, Rei suddenly grasped the headband and wrapped it tightly below her hairline before angrily turning towards her mirror.
A Fiery-red glow burnt brightly around Rei Hino's toned figure as she scowled towards the mirror. Clenching her fists, Rei's breathing suddenly quickened as she viciously kicked the huge glass mirror towards the wall before it inevitably exploded into several thousand shards across the room.
"Ami showed you mercy Mizuha.......You played upon her feelings like the son of a bitch you are."
Rei snatched her phone off the dresser, hurriedly scrolling through the directory before finally resting on the name [Michiru Kaioh] as she raised the phone to her ear.
"Rei.....What's going on, why the sudden call??"
"Michiru...Ami's dead...It's time to finish what we started 12 years ago."
"......Was it Mizuha???"
"Yeah."
"....I'll meet you outside the palace in five."
Ending the call and dropping the phone carefully into her jeans pocket, Rei momentarily stared towards an old picture of her and Ami sat together on a beach in newly bought bikinis. The two undeniably gorgeous girls happily waving towards a camera whilst internally praying for a peaceful and prosperous future for all their friends and family.
Frustratedly slamming her fist against the wall before swiftly marching outside in a whirlwind mixture of sadness and resolve, one final important thought lingered towards the back of Rei's mind as she made her way towards the palace:
"You've taken everything away from me Mizuha.....Now I'm going to make you pay....No matter what the cost."
