Enjoy ^.^
It was a night like no other. A grand ball, the celebration of the Princess's sixteenth birthday was in full swing. Everyone that you could ever imagine was there to give their congratulations to the young Moon Princess. She stood by her mother as she watched the dancing and mingling commence. How she wished to join in on the dancing and gossip, but her mother would not have it.
"You are the princess, Serena darling. You can't just do whatever you wish…" Her mother had told her an hour before when the ball began. As she gazed out over the large crowd of people and she thought she saw the eyes of a man looking at her. She swallowed and looked down and after a moment looked back up, discovering his eyes were still on her. She gasped, her gasp getting the Queen's attention, and a blush raised to her cheeks.
"Are you all right, darling? You look a little flushed." She said Serena nodded quickly.
"Yes, I'm fine," She said with a soft smile. "just a little warm is all." She said then drew up her fan and opened it with a flip of her wrist. As she fanned her face she catch herself following the path that the man was taking. He walked through the crowd. From what she could see of him he looked tall to her eyes, taller then a few of the men at the party. And then he came into full view and Serena took in a sharp breath. He had neatly trimmed black hair and deep blue eyes that were so dark they were nearly black. He stood in a tuxedo that was fit and tailor to fit his body, a cape that billowed behind him as he walked, a mask of black and gold material covered his face and in his hand he held a cane. Serena drew in a deep breath and she felt herself swoon slightly at the sight of him. He walked with a mysterious air about him and kneeled before the Queen.
"Your majesty, I'm sorry for my sudden intrusion but I wish to ask your daughter for a dance…" He said in a silky deep voice that washed over Serena like bitter-sweet dark chocolate. The Queen smiled at the man, but it wasn't a smile of approval.
"I am sorry but my daughter cannot dance this night," She said. "maybe another time." Serena snapped her head over and stared at her mother with a hurt look.
"Why can I not dance with this man? He has asked you with both respect and honor," She said. "why do you refuse him?" She asked. Serenity let out a sigh and turned, looking up at her daughter.
"We will discuss this later, Serena." She said in a stern tone of voice. Serena shook her head, a frown forming on her face.
"No I wish to know now," She said and narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms. "right now, tell me." She said, not caring that there was a audience for their 'discussion'. Serenity gave her daughter a dark look.
"I said we would discuss it later and that is final, Serena." She said and then stood to her feet and smiled out at all their guests.
"I am sorry, but if would would excuse us…" She said grabbing her daughters arm and firmly pulling her along out of the ballroom, leaving the handsome stranger behind.
Serena pulled her arm from her mother's grip as soon as they were out of the sight of their guests. "Why did we leave?" She asked in a snappy tone. She wanted to get back as soon as possible.
"Because you were acting childish is why, Serena." The queen said with a little snappiness to her own voice. Serena crossed her arms and let out a scoff.
"I was not acting childish. I only ask you a very logical question, mother. Why couldn't I dance with that man; he did everything right with asking for your permission." She said and the queen nodded.
"Yes, and I said no." She said and that made Serena stomp her foot in annoyance.
"Why?! If I remember correctly its my birthday, not yours!" She argued. Queen Serenity just stared at her with a smirk on her face.
"The act of stomping your foot only puts more strength in my calling you a child..." She said then squared her shoulders, a firm look to her face.
"I am going to head back to the party," She said. "if you wish to join me you may, but only if you stop this nonsense of dancing with some strange man you've never met before." She said and turned, ending the conversation and left. Serena didn't know how long she stood there but she found herself standing at her mother's side.
"I'm glad you decided to return to the party." Queen Serenity spoke from out of the side of her mouth, then smiled at a few of the party goers. Serena held back from rolling her eyes.
"As if I had a choice..." She muttered and plastered a fake smile on her face, waving at a few of her friends who returned her wave with one of their own. Serena let out a soft sigh as she watched her friends dance the night away with their dates and she wished that she was down there with them giggling and talking girl talk.
"Can I at least go and join my friends?" She asked her mother and the queen shook her head.
"No, I want you by my side tonight." She said and left no room for argument. Serena felt her anger bristle up and she gritted her teeth and turned on her heels preparing to march out into the hall to collect herself. The Queen looked over and saw her preparing to leave the ballroom.
"Where are you going, Serena?" She asked with a susipous look in her eyes. Serena growled softly under her breath and she made a clicking noise with her tongue.
"I'm going to go and get some air," She said then turned to her mother with a hard look of annoyance in her eyes. "unless you forbid that to." She said. Serenity gave her daughter a disapproving look, then shook her head.
"No, not at all, darling." She said then turned her attention back to her guests and sent them all a forced smile.
Serena let out a sigh when she entered the hall, the door closing behind her. She stood there thinking of nothing...nothing but the handsome stranger. She wanted to know who he was, why he wished to dance with her, what he was thinking about... No sooner did all this enter her brain was there a chuckle.
"Well all you have to do is ask and I will tell." A voice echoed and Serena nearly jumped out of her skin as she catch sight of a figure all in black walking towards her. Serena didn't know rather to scream, or faint because the man walking towards her with eyes so blue they were almost black looked ready to snatch her away and she didn't think she would mind that, not one bit...
