I Will Protect You
Serenity POV:
"Mommy? Mommy? Mommy where are you? Why is it so cold? Why can't I see anything? Mommy please please answer me please!" I cried and yelled, but mommy never came. I cried and laid on the cold tiled floor and the only warmth came from the rat that scurried by my body and found its own warmth under my jacket.
Darien POV:
Dad always said the dungeon is filled with darkness and no light dwells there. As I walked by the door leading down to the dungeon, I felt compelled to walk down and discover the forbidden place. I am 9 1/2 years old and am very intelligent at my age, I have always had a curious nature and mother says,"curiosity killed the cat". I simply responded, "well the cat should not have been stupid enough to get itself killed".
I walked down the stairs and they creaked liked every floor board was breaking in half. It was loud enough to wake the dead. I got to the last set of doors and grabbed a torch from the wall and opened the door. Inside there was nothing like the bright pastel colors that the castle was decorated in. Cells lined the wall and bodies littered the floor. Dad always said that there was no need to lock anything because when the bodies were brought to the dungeon they were already weak and were useless and wouldn't put up a fight. As I turned down a corridor I heard a sound of crying. It sounded like a little girl crying, crying for her mom. I ran down the corridor passing cell by cell till I found the cell with the little girl. She was curled up on the floor, with a rat curled up with her.
I opened the cell and walked in, she was so out of it she didn't hear me.
I approached her and gently said," hi... Are you okay?" The girl's head shot up and her blue eyes stared at me with such fear. Her eyes were bluer than the ocean and prettier than all the jewelry my mother wears. She timidly told me she was frightened and she didn't know where her mother was. " I'm sorry to say this but she is probably dead" the little girl screamed and my heart broke. I wanted to comfort the girl with the blue eyes. So I knelt down beside her and wrapped my alarms around her. I'm not sure how long we sat like that but eventually she lifted her head and said," I'm Serenity Rose Tsukino and I'm 8 1/2". "Hi, I'm Endymion Maxwell Shields and I'm 9 1/2". We smiled at one another. In that moment I wanted nothing more than to save the damsel in distress, that I so often read about in fairy tales. So I did the only thing I could think of... I whisked her from the evil dungeon and hid her in my room.
Serenity POV:
His room is so beautiful, it was nothing like I ever saw. His bed was fluffy and full. I had never seen a bed like that before. I took a bath in his porcelain tub, there were bubbles and I got to wash my hair. As much as I wanted to enjoy all of it, I still wanted my mother. I wanted her near, I mean she yelled most of the time and her breath smelled like alcohol all the time. Sometimes if I spilled milk while milking the cows she threw the bucket at me. Most of the time I hid from her anyways. But she was the only person I really knew. I wonder how long Endymion will take before he yells and throws things at me.
As I finished in the bathroom, Endymion found a clean pair of clothes for me, and he apologized because they were boy clothes but they were nice and warm. He asked if could brush my long blonde hair, and I allowed him to. It was so nice to have someone brush my hair for me. He sat on his foot stool and I sat cross legged on the floor. He brushed my hair and it felt like heaven and I felt all warm inside. No one has ever brushed my hair before, not even mother. That night we climbed in his bed and told each other stories about our lives. I told him about my mom and he told me not to worry because he would always protect me and one day we would marry. He also told me that his mommy was the nicest person in all the kingdom and she had a heart of gold. and that she would love me too. I had the best sleep that night and for once in my life I couldn't wait to see what The next day would bring.
