                               Chapter 3- The Quiet Girl

	“Hello class, did you have a nice weekend?” asked Ms. Haruna. Everyone 
groaned. “Very good! We have a new student in class. Her name is Sharantyr.”  A 
girl with a calm face stepped up. Blue eyes fitted into a milky white face with 
raspberry lips and long, shimmering, silver hair. Immediately every boy’s face 
snapped up. It seemed all eyes were on her as she took her seat. More would be 
looking at the girl with those stormy blue eyes in the days to come.

                                       **************
	It was lunch. It seemed everyone was either gossiping or trying to find 
a seat next to the new girl. Some of the gossips were mean and were said right in 
front of Sharantyr, but she had the same calm expression on and seemed to shrug 
it off. At lunch she read after eating. While Ami was asking Sharantyr about her 
favorite books, Serena, Molly, and Melvin were telling each other what they had 
heard of her. 
	“Well I heard that she talked back to teachers and had to be sent here!” 
Melvin always had the full report. “Nah, I heard she got tired of everyone asking 
her out and moved!” Molly replied. “Well… I… heard… nothing.” Serena said glumly. 
“That’s cause you hear everything from us!” Molly said with a giggle. “Oh yeah…”

                                       ***************

	Sharantyr left the room in a hurry.  Something was happening and she 
wasn’t there to stop it. It could mean trouble for the Sailor Scouts, they 
couldn’t fight the evil as well as she. She remembered why she was here, and she 
hated it. One day she would wake up and it would all be gone. That was all she 
could hope for. For now she had to do what fate had thrown upon her. So she left 
for the lake and hoped for everyone else’s sake that she wasn’t too late.
                                        ****************

	Mercury fought with her own element.  A water creature flexed and bent. 
Her videophone was broken, she couldn’t call the others. Serena was probably 
trying to choke her brother, Sammy, by now. She was weakening. Her ice attacks 
didn’t freeze it; she couldn’t cut it or surround it with ice. Her visor showed 
that its only weak point was heat. Very early in the battle when Mars was with 
her, someone had made very sure that Mars was taken out first. The sun was covered 
by storm clouds too. Unless help came soon this could be her last battle.  Unless 
she was mistaken, her visor now read of another major power coming from behind 
her. Of neither positive nor negative energy. No she must be mistaken, it was both 
together! Just as she went down she saw a silver glimmer and heard a crash of 
water. Then silence and blackness as oblivion claimed her.

	Cleansing energy was the only sign she had awakened. Ami was not transformed, 
and her wounds had gone. The rest had better hear about this.
