Samuel walked up to his mother, who had just finished talking with the doctor. "Is he going to be okay?" Samuel asked. Queen Serenity turned to face her son. "I don't know, it's to soon to say." She said sadly. "Did you know, about him and Serena?" He asked. "I suspected it, but didn't know for sure." She said softly as she turned and looked into the room at Darien. "So..what happens now?" He asked. "First we have to find Serena...When the King of Earth finds out about this, there's going to be a war..." She said sadly. Samuel nodded in agreement.
"Honey...I have something for you..." He said softly. She pulled out of his embrace and looked up at him. "What is it?" She asked curiously. "It's not here, but when you go back home...It's in my desk in my study. Open the top draw and you'll find it, with a letter." He said softly. Serena looked at him in confusion. He smiled softly. "Your not a prisoner here, Serena, when we are finished here, you will return home in your room." "Why are you here?" She asked. "I am here, to keep the kingdom safe for King mindos." He said sadly. She hugged her father tightly. "Serena, my dear...I am so sorry for what I may have cost you, just so I could see you..." He said sadly. She squeezed him tighter as tears fell down her cheeks. "It's time.." A man yelled from the door. Jonathan and Serena pulled out of the hug. "I love you Serena.." He said softly. "I love you too, Daddy." He smiled softly as she stood up. "Happy birthday honey." She smiled and walked toward the door.
Serena appeared in her room. She looked around for a moment and then ran out of her room and up to her fathers study. When she reached it she slowly walked in and walked over to the desk. She opened the top drawer and found a small envelope and a small white box. She pulled them both out and sit in her fathers chair. She opened the box to reveal a small golden locket. She opened the locket and found a small silver crystal inside. It was absolutly beautiful. She put the locket it around her neck and opened the envelope and pulled out a small letter...
My dearest Serena,
If you are reading this, it is your 16th birthday and I didn't come home from the war on Earth...This locket holds the key and heart of the moon. It will give you great power when you need it. I love you, honey and happy birthday.
Love your father
She sat there for a moment, until Darien crossed her mind. She stood up quickly and ran downstairs hollering for her mother. "Mother!" She shouted as she reached the bottom of the stairs. "Serena?" A male asked from behind her. She turned around quickly to find her brother standing behind her. "Samuel!" She cried as she leaped into his arms. "How did you escape?" He asked. "I didn't they let me go...Where's D...Darien?" She asked. Samuel pulled her away from and looked at her with sad eyes. "Samuel...where is he?" She asked as her voice shook. "Come on..." He said as he lead her back up the stairs and to Darien's room. They walked in slowly and Serena pulled away from Samuel. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she slowly walked to his bedside. She sat down on his bed next to him and looked him over. His shirt was off and his stomach had white bandages around it. She ran her slender finger across his chest and moved them up to his face. She bent over him and softly placed a kiss on his lips. "Please...please be okay..." She whispered as she cried softly. Samuel stood in the door way and watched closely.
Weeks went by and Darien's state only turned for the worse. Princess Serenity never left his side, praying he would open his eyes and tell her everything was okay...but he never did. "Honey..." A small voice asked from the doorway. Serena looked over in their direction. It was her mother. "Yeah.." She spoke weakly. "Serena...you need to understand, that somethings were just not ment to be." Queen Serenity said softly as she approached her daughter. Tears streamed down Serena's cheeks. "No...I refuse to believe that...He'll pull through, I know it." She said as she turned back to Darien. "Serena please..." "Leave me alone..." Serena said sternly. The Queen sighed and left the room. Serena stood up from her chair and slowly sat on his bed. She knew he was slowly slipping away from her and there was nothing she could do. She layed down next to him. "Dear Darien..." She began slowly. "Please don't leave me...I need you...I love you." She whispered as she slowly rose up and gently placed a kiss on his lips as a single tear landed on his cheek. A bright white light glowed from around her neck and surrounded them.
The Queen and Prince Samuel was walking towards Darien's room when they seen the bright white light coming from his room. They ran to the room. "Serena?" The Queen yelled as they entered the room. The light slowly faded and Serena suddenly felt weak. 'What just happened?' She wondered as she collapsed next to Darien. "Serena!" The Queen shouted as she rushed over to them. She rolled her daughter over to face her and noticed the glowly locket around her neck. "What just happened mother?" Samuel asked as he walked over to them. Before she could answer Darien started to stir and they looked up at him. He slowly opened his eyes and looked over at Queen Serenity and Serena. "Serena?" He asked as he slowly sat up. "Is she..." He started. The Queen smiled brightly. "She will be fine." She said softly. "Mother, What happened?" Samuel asked again. "She used to the silver crytal...I don't think she realized it, but she did to heal Darien." The Queen said softly staring down at her daughter. "The Silver Crystal? Where did she get that? I thought only father knew where it was?" He asked. "He is...I don't know how she got it, but its right here around her neck." The Queen said as she fiddled with the necklace. Serena slowly opened her eyes. "Mother?" She asked weakly as she looked up at her. "How do you feel?" Queen Serenity asked. "I feel tired, what happened?" "Somehow you tapped into the silver crystal." She said with a smile. "Serena?" A weak voice said next to her. Her eyes light up at the sound of his voice and she leaped out of her mothers arms in his. "Darien!" He wrapped his arms around her as she cried. "I was so scared that I had lost you." "Shh...I am okay now...thanks to you, my love." He said softly as he kissed the top of her head.
