Leaving
Prologue
"Serenity, you must hurry." She looked around, "Quickly!" A woman was holding a young girl's hand while speeding through a magestic hallway and turned a corner. They were out of breath when they reached a dark room and bolted the door behind them.
"Nurse? Nurse what's going on? What's happening." The young girl was frightened and confused, her small hands clenching at her white night gown. The blue haired lady looked at the girl and longing to give her comfort, tried to smile.
"Oh, Serenity," she stroked the blonde's hair, and did not say anymore. She then grabbed the girl's hand. "Alright, we must move on." She surveyed the room, and walked towards the farthest wall which had a portrait of a platinum haired woman and a blonde haired man; The Queen Serenity and her king. The young girl looked up at the portrait, her eyes welled up.
"Nurse, where's mother?"
The nurse was not paying attention; she was mumbling something and feeling the wall. "It has to be... oh no, what about... still nothing... hmm." The older woman walked alongside the wall, feeling her way for something she knew was there. She reached the corner and motioned the girl to come. "Now Serena dear," she again fussed with the blonde's hair, "stand here."
The blonde nodded and watched her nurse do something she had never seen her do. The nurse tapped one of the bricks and placed her ear against the wall, she tapped again. She stood in the corner, rubbed her hands together excited and kicked the corner line. She kept kicking it, but not in anger Serenity noticed, more like a ritual. The nurse sighed and told Serenity to stand back. Less than a second later the wall was pushed inside and the corner opened!
"Serenity, dear, come. We must not waste time!" The girl hurried to the nurse. The nurse gently pushed her inside.
Serenity turned around, shock registering on her face. "Nurse?"
The blue haired nurse's eyes were watery and saddened with the knowledge that Serenity couldn't understand. With a shaky but authoritative tone said, "What do you think you are doing! Go and don't look back! Do not stop walking until you see a palace guard, do you understand?" She did not wait for the girl to answer. "I'm closing this now alright? Just keep walking straight, do not stop." Her nurse looked at her.
Still confused and now afraid, Serenity replied, "Aren't you coming with me?"
The nurse rushed to where Serenity was, and squeezed her with urgency, "Don't stop walking, alright dear."
Serenity had never seen her nurse like this before. She was always laughing, or quiet, keeping to herself and always keeping herself composed in the most frustrating times. She only referred to her as "dear" to reassure her when things were going wrong, and the more she said it showed how serious the situation was. The person who was never upset or seriously cross with anyone, was hugging and squeezing her...crying. Serenity squeezed back.
The blue haired woman took a step back, then turned around. Serenity did not realize what her nurse was doing, but she realized that her nurse had just pulled on something and the wall was reforming itself. "Nurse! No nurse, come back! Ami-san!" The nurse was looking back, tears streaming down her face.
"Serena, go!"
Serena began walking towards the closing wall. "Nurse! A-Ami-san! No! No! Don't leave me here. Ami-san! Ami-chan!" The wall reformed. The princess was left alone, with little light, sobbing. She then remembered what her nurse had said, she could almost hear her voice, telling her to "go!"
The scared girl turned around, gathered her wits and courage, and began walking briskly.
