Alright this is my first Sailor Moon fanfic. It takes place in a different world. The time period resembles that of the height of the Roman Empire. Please read and review. I will try to update as soon as I can, but I can't promise much because of school.
Disclaimer: Sailor moon does not belong to me and never will.
Closest to Heaven
The Prologue
It was the day after my father died when our kingdom was invaded. For one of the greatest kingdoms of that time, we fell quite quickly. I remember my mother grabbing my hand and leading me down corridors and through alleyways. We stopped in front of a large building. My mother knocked on the door and a pair of eyes appeared through a slot in the door. A burly man opened the door. A blond women holding her daughter stood behind him.
"Victor, you must help me," my mother begged.
"Of course, my queen, I would do anything for you," replied the burly man.
"I need you to take care of my daughter. I must fall with our army," said my mother.
"I will treat her as my own," he replied. Then my mother knelt down in front of me and held my shoulders. I began to cry.
"Mommy, please don't leave me. I wanna go with you," I sobbed.
"You can't come with me. You must stay her," she said. I started to cry harder now.
"Now listen to me, Serena," she said squeezing my shoulders, tears gathering in her eyes, "You mustn't tell anyone your name. From now on, you are no longer my daughter. You must forget your life in the palace. You are no longer the princess of Luna." She kissed me and walked out the door. I fell to the ground crying and the blond woman kneeled down beside me and hugged me.
"There, there, sweet child," she said, "My name is Helena and this is my husband, Victor, and our daughter Mina. Please treat us like family now." Mina walked to me and grabbed my hand. I looked up at her and she smiled at me.
It wasn't long before the soldiers broke down the door. Our hands were bound and we were led into the streets with other citizens. Only heaven knew what was in store for us all.
