Prologue:

The lake shimmered in the moonlight while the wind creating a ripple effect across the lake that she stood over. "Oooo such a pretty flower," Serenity whispered. Her hand reaching out to grasp it, "Ouch!" Serenity yelped, "That didn't feel so good." Looking down at her hands that were lightly bleeding from the puncture marks, she stood up to walk to the lake. Taking a quick glance behind her she bent over to dip her hands into the lake to wash the blood off, tears were forming in the corners of her eyes. "I will not be a crybaby like meanie Rei says I am." she thought with a whimper.

While sliding her hands into the water, pulling the thorns out, Serenity took one look at herself. The white hair glistening in the reflection, her childlike ethereal face, and her pink little lips with a pout on em. She looked like a child-like goddess. "Hmph," Serenity grunted, "I'm a big girl now, no more tears," She had said aloud. "Well now from over here, you look like your a little kid." the newcomer told her. Serenity glanced up to see the most beautiful boy she had ever seen. He was even prettier than her papa. His blackish blue locks all messy on his head and his bold facial features. With a grunt she stood up, brushing her white dress with her hands, leaving trails of blood on them. The healing was taking longer than usual, she was still too young to be in tune with herself.

"Well your a little kid too, so there!" Serenity stuck her tongue out blowing a raspberry at this newcomer. "Pfft, I'm 10 years old and how old are you smartypants?" He asked. "Well, Im 4 1/2 years old, almost 5." Sere puffed out, face all red with anger. "What are you doing so far away from your parents, shouldn't you be watched?" "Well the thing is, I snuck away." She let a huge sigh out,"I'm tired of everyone hovering over me, I have no fun time," Sere pouted. Darien could'nt help but laugh at her little pout. "Well, I won't tell anyone that your here if you don't tell anyone that I'm hiding here as well, deal?" Serenity looked at his hand that he held out, than surprised him by jumping into his arms and giving him a huge hug accidentally getting the blood on his shirt. "I'm Serenity, what's your name?"

"Hmm, My name is Darien, and let me see your hands, your bleeding everywhere." While he said this he grasped her hands gently,making Sere whimper. "It hurts really bad," Serenity whispered out. Darien grabbed the sleeve of his shirt and ripped it off, wrapping it around her hand as gently as he could, but enough to put pressure on the wounds. "The flower that you grabbed is a rose, they have thorns for a self protection." "Beautiful but deadly Serenity." Darien stated. They were both very smart for their ages. Both races grew at a rapid pace, bodies aging slowly, but minds gaining knowledge fast.

"I'm sorry about your shirt." Serenity managed to say. "It's all right, your my new secret hideout buddy." He stated outrightly. With a huge smile plastered to her face, Serenity turned to give Darien a huge bear hug only to spin off and run away from him. "Bye Darien, I will see you tomorrow night, gotta go before I get into trouble!" Darien just stared at her bewildered. "That girl is weird," he whispered to himself.

"Darien, where are you?" His father yelled out into the night. His voice reverberating through the forest. His fathers voice causing him to jump. He didn't want his father to find out about this meeting place, he took off smearing dirt across his clothes. "Where were you hiding?" You know you have to be careful in this forest, there are "things" that wouldn't hesitate to hurt you my dear boy," Adrian said with his eyes dark in anger. "I'm sorry papa, I was chasing a deer and slipped and fell down this hill, that's how I got mud all over my clothes sir." Hearing his son had fallen down a hill and not to his doom, he looked over him, gave him a quick hug and they headed off back to their home. The howling coming closer...

The midnight meetings continued for the next few years with Serenity and Darien. They had known each other for over 6 years now. "Darien, I'm sleepy and I don't feel good." Serenity let out in a whisper. "It's okay Sere, go ahead and take a nap or something, I'll be here to watch over you." Darien let her know. Serenity crawled towards him and laid her head in his lap. She let the normal warmth he had engulf her completely. It was merely seconds later that he heard the tell-tale signs of her snoring gently. "Sere, someday when we are older I'm going to make you mine, your my best friend, your my everything, when my day was bad, your my shining light." He whispered quietly while brushing her bangs away from her head noticing there was a mark hidden by her bangs. Leaning down he gives her forehead a little kiss before relaxing against the tree trunk. It was true they were both still very young, but Darien was drawn to her. He wasn't sure how he would explain to his angel what he was, but he hoped in the end should would understand.

Unbeknownst to them eyes peering through the bushes were quietly watching the two sleep and cuddle up under the stars. "I told you!." the voice rang out quietly across the breeze. "I knew my daughter was in love, I seen the ties that bind her heart and soul." "Hmphh and you didn't believe me." Selene said. "Well it's not like I follow her around 24/7 my queen, and I'm not allowed to alter things as you know its forbidden." "You know your husband will be displeased over this hidden bit of information we have kept from the two?" Trista whispered back to her queen. It was true her husband Sol would be mad that this was kept from him, not to mention Darien was not like the rest of her clan. "You know this is only going to get worse before it gets better mistress?" Trista had maintained her calm demeanor while watching her sweet niece lay with this whatever he was, she did not want him near her. "Shhh Trista, hes searching around, I can tell this is time for us to leave." Selene was always going to be on Serenity's side when it came to love.

Later that night...
