"All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name." –Andre Breton
She awakened.
She lived.
She slept.
Black Lady saw no reason to watch the growing world her smaller counterpart envisioned. She was locked away. Never to touch. To talk. To witness things on her own. But she supposed it was justice given. She deserved the punishment. She had caused pain to those around her but her reasoning was just, right? She wanted attention. She wanted a woman's body. She wanted love above all else. Was it so wrong for her heart to yearn it?
A faint smile dawned her porcelain doll face. She desired the feeling of love, something even she could not name without understanding its full gifts. Small Lady understood. The Queen and King loved her dearly, they cherished her, and gave her what she truly wanted in those few seconds before departing to the past where even more love awaited her. Black Lady sniffled. Why couldn't she feel the same thing? Why did her heart yearn for such a thing?
Sighing she leaned against the mental cage the pink haired rabbit pushed her into and the invisible chains rattle reminding her that control was no longer hers. She had lost it. What she saw through the glass would never be hers. Black Lady accepted it once Pluto died.
Turning her attention back to the outside world, Small Lady gazed up at Serenity who, for the moment anyways, gave her a genuine smile. Yet the smile didn't warm her frozen heart. No matter how she tried feeling the emotions Small Lady felt, she herself felt nothing at all. Not a speck.
Serenity's smile stopped and a cold stare darkened her face, "Your innocence is tainted."
Black Lady cocked her eyebrow. The voice sounded peculiar and unlikely of the young Serenity. It sounded familiar—almost the same as her mother, the Queen. Strong, melodic and regal. Bitter feelings shadowed her heart. Serenity appeared to be directing the statement elsewhere. Puzzled by the statement she focused on the cold blue eyes.
"What did you mean, Usagi?" Small Lady asked.
Serenity continue staring deeply, "Perhaps it would be for the best," she whispered quietly but Black Lady heard everywhere. What was she referring to? The Serenity in front of her spoke like a royal and hid her true statement beneath. The one thing that drew her away from her parents and contributed to her isolated insecurity.
Serenity started glowing and for a split second, Black Lady saw Neo Queen Serenity, "Yes, may it be for the best," she whispered again. Black Lady scrunched her face. What for the best? Her imprisonment? She snorted, what blasphemy. She kept the frown and looked way. It was foolishness at its fineness. Crossing her arms she chose to ignore the outside world until the dark sphere surrounding her lighten and her vision faded to white.
Thank you all for taking the chance to read this story. I have lost inspiration for Innocence of the Black Swan and so instead of trying to sit at my computer for hours to come up with another chapter, I wanted to write a sad romance story between Black Lady and Sapphire. Hopefully I can pull it off correctly or at least the way I envision it. Also if you guys were wondering, I did base the story title off Frank Sintra's song (love Fly Me to the Moon. One of my favorite songs) and thought it'll fit here perfectly. The next chapter should be posted tomorrow morning.
