Never Ending Love

Chapter Two

Serenity and Tranquility stepped out of the portal on to green grass and It closed behind them, leaving them in a clear wooded area. They looked around letting their eyes

adjust. There were so many colors. Serenity couldn't hide her excitement She took a step and tripped, falling flat on the ground. The gravity on Earth was much different than that of the Sun and Moon. Serenity figured that out first hand. Tranquility laughed and helped her to stand up.

"Stupid gravity." Serenity muttered while rubbing her side. Tranquility smiled and shook his head. "What?" Serenity asked.

"You." Tranquility replied. "You need to be careful." He gave her a look to emphasize his point.

"I am careful." Serenity argued and stuck her head up to the side with a loud humph. Something red caught her eye and she gasped. She ran over to the bright red color that grabbed her attention. It was a rose bush. The flowers seemed to welcome her. She

picked one and smelled it. "It's sweet." She said.

"Remember, we are not to engage any Terrans." Tranquility said. "And if

we do..." He placed his hand on her forehead. The crescent moon sigil

disappeared. Serenity blinked her eyes as he did the same to his sun sigil. "Now remember..."

"I know." Serenity interrupted. "No speaking to Terrans if we do come in

contact with them." Tranquility smiled but his eyes showed he wasn't sure

she follow through with it. He watched as she played with the flowers, She was free and natural. She looked like their sister did when she rode her horse a breakneck speeds, or learned to shoot an arrow, free and wild. That was Serenity with the different flowers, as free and wild as she will ever be. It almost seemed sad to him. Her giggle broke him from his depressing thoughts and she smiled at him.

"I do wish we could've brought Celestia, she would love this..." Serenity put her hand up, "Yes, I know, before you go into a lecture about how she is too young and gets into enough trouble on her own.. I know." She laughed at Tranquility's face.

"Come on. I want to walk around." Serenity said while she shook out her skirts. Tranquility followed her and they both stopped when they came to a lake. It was the color of the sky, a beautiful light blue hidden in fields of green rolling hills. They sat down and stared at it in silence for a while. Finally tranquility was the one to break the silence. "I'm worried we'll get caught."

"We won't! I do not know why you are so worried, Hades will not tell anyone, for he will be in more trouble than we would be. Please calm down and try and enjoy this beautiful day." She smiled up at him and rested her head on his shoulder. "Please try to enjoy it. For me?"

He smiled down at his sister, "I will try."

"Good, now look over there." She pointed out to the Horizon.

"Why? All it is..." SPLASH! He wasn't able to finish what he was say for soon he was head deep in the crystal blue water.

"Serenity!" Tranquility yelled when he surfaced. Serenity was laughing

from the bank so hard she held her stomach and didn't notice Tranquility as he grabbed her and pulled her in.

"No, don't..." Serenity cried before landing in the water. She came up

sputtering. This time it was Tranquility that was laughing.

"Don't do something, unless you are willing to take the consequences." He smiled at her.

"Oh, be quiet." Serenity pouted. She got over it and they started to play.

They were laughing and shouting and splashing. They forgot all about being worried and had fun and were free.

*Back on the Sun*

"Serenity, where are you?" Queen Serenity called. *Where is that girl?*

She the Princess Celestia ahead looking refreshed. "Ah, Celestia, I have been looking for you, have you seen Serenity, I need to speak with both of you?"

"No, not since I left the garden to change.. I mean come find you mother." Celestia smile up at her mother with innocent eyes.

"Oh, I'm sure she's around here somewhere." Queen Serenity narrowed her eyes and looked down at her daughter, not the least bit fooled. "If she's not in the castle then she's probably out with Tranquility."

"Should I have the guard go and look for her mother?" Celestia asked.

"oh, no that is quite alright." Queen Serenity said. "In the mean time, Celestia, we really need to discuss your lessons. I think it may be time to spend a little less time here on the sun and return to the moon to continue your training and diplomacy classes."

"Mother, why don't we continue this conversation once we have Serenity, so I may not be the complete focus on your future plans, shall we?" Celestia's smile widened.

"My, your father taught you to be cheeky. Yes, run along and find Solaria, I will find you later." Queen Serenity kissed the top of her daughters head, smiled and walked off.

It was then that she spotted Hades. "Have you seen Serenity and Tranquility?"

"Um...uh...Serenity and Tranquility? Um, no." Hades straightened. He didn't

realize he was holding his breath until Queen Serenity responded and he exhaled.

"Oh, well, if you see them about, please inform them that I want to talk to them."

"Will, do." Hades said.

*I sure hope those two don't take very long. After all it'll be my head

too.* He walked back to the portal.

.

*Back on Earth*

Serenity and Tranquility walked round, drying off. They were still

laughing and talking.

"That lake was beautiful. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?" Serenity commented.

"It's not nearly as beautiful as the Lake of Serenity." Tranquility said. "Nothing is

more beautiful than that." He smiled at his sister.

"Yeah, but we're not allowed to..." Serenity started to say but stopped abruptly.

In front of them stood a man.

Tranquility instinctively pulled Serenity closer to him and behind him. The man pulled out a dagger and advanced towards them, "Well there, what do we have here? A couple of nobles lost in the woods? aren't you far from the Princes hunting party." He smiled a dangerous smile at the couple.

Tranquility reached for his sward but It wasn't there. Of course it wasn't, WE was trying not to attract attention to them. IT seemed he would have to fight by

hand. That should be easy. After all he was the ruler of the sun and Prince of the Moon, he had been training with his guard since he was seven years.

"Give me all your money and that lovely necklace you're wearing." The man said gruffly. Serenity looked down at the necklace she was wearing, It was the sun locket that her father gave her. She instinctively held it closer and backed away. The rough looking man looked at Serenity and smiled wickedly.

"Stay back." Tranquility said pushing Serenity behind him. He circled the

man. Using the skills he learned form training he defended himself nicely.

He managed to knock the dagger out of the man's hand. But, not before the man was able to take big slice out of his shoulder. Knocking the man unconscious

Tranquility grabbed Serenity and took off.

Making sure they were far enough away Serenity turned to her brother and noticed the gash in his shoulder.

"Your hurt." She exclaimed. She looked at the wound, "I wish Mercury was here, or mother, they would know what to do for you. He was losing a lot of blood. "Please don't

die." She whispered, "Take some of my energy... take what you need to survive." He looked at her sadly and held her hand. it wasn't going to be enough, he was fading fast.

"I knew this was a bad idea." He managed to say and laughed a little.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." She repeated over and over. "Hold on, I will try and get Hades, he will take us back."

"No, you will only risk both of you getting exposed and the consequences that come with it." He coughed. IT was fading much faster than she thought he would, even with her energy.

"Sshh, don't talk." Serenity said. "Everything will be alright. You'll

see."

She felt him getting weaker. He closed his eyes, and she kissed is forehead.

She laid her head against his good shoulder and waited for them to die together. She

heard a sound and tried to look. She lifted her head weakly and through blurry eyes saw a man on a horse riding towards them. Her first instinct was that the man who attacked them found them and came to finish the job, but she didn't care.

When the rider reached them, he jumped down from his horse and ran to them putting a hand to Tranquility's shoulder.

"Are you alright?" He asked. He looked at the wound. It looked pretty bad.

Serenity tried to push him away, and he turned to inspect her as well. Seeing she wasn't hurt physically, he picked up Tranquility and carried him to the horse. then he came to where they were laying to get her. She stayed awake long enough for him to pull out a dagger. Then she lost all consciousness.

Prince Endymion cursed when he saw the girl lose consciousness. He had to get

them somewhere before the man lost too much blood. Where though? He had a large party at the hunting lodge, and somehow the idea of bringing them there wasn't appealing. The castle was too far and the town was out of the question as well. The cottage! Of course! He rode towards the old wood cutters cottage. He signaled to his groom and had him retrieve his sister and his guard from the hunting lodge and bring them to the cottage.

When he arrived there, his sister Terra had already arrived and ran out to meet him. She saw the wounded man and immediately ran back in to get some wraps and a member of Endymion's guard, Malachite.

"What happened?" She asked when Malachite brought the man in. Endymion had carried the girl.

"They were probably robbed by bandits. you know tensions are running high. This is why I tell you never to go anywhere without a guard to escort you." Endymion Lectured his younger sister. "I wonder what they were doing alone in the woods, with no escort. They are obviously nobility by the looks of the clothing." He looked at the

girl's face. She was extremely beautiful.

"What's wrong with her?" Terra asked. "She doesn't seem to be hurt. I can't find any wound."

"I think she lost it when I pulled out my dagger to cut some cloth to wrap

around his wound." Endymion said.

"look at their clothes and their hair, I've never seen that color on anyone around here." Jadeite commented. "I wonder where they're from?"

"Yeah that doesn't look like any cloth from around here." Zoicite added.

"Can you help him?" Endymion asked. Malachite nodded.

"What about her? She doesn't seem to be hurt." Malachite noted. "I don't know why she's unconscious. Maybe from fear or exhaustion."

Serenity stirred. She opened her eyes and saw the men around. Panicked, she sat up

and scooted back against the wall. The men around her jumped back in surprise by her swift movements. Endymion stepped closer and offered her his hand.

"It's alright. We won't hurt you." He said softly trying to coax her from the ground. "Who are you?" he saw the girl glance at the man then back at him. She didn't say anything, just continued to stare at his hand.

"I'm...Darien." Endymion said using is nickname, so not to frighten her. He still held out his hand. She stared at the others while they introduced themselves. Finally she took the hand that was offered her to stand and looked around the room, continuing to hold on to Endymion's hand. Malachite moved to check on Tranquility's wound and Serenity ran to her brothers side.

"Stay away from him!" Serenity said harshly pushing him back and placing herself between where her brother was laying and the men around them.

"I have to see if he's alright, and if the poultice I gave him is doing its job." Malachite argued. He tried again to check on Tranquility, and again she pushed him back. He was about to protest when Endymion stopped him.

"Wait."

"But..." Malachite started to say. Endymion gave him a stern look.

"It's going to be alright." Serenity whispered tears running down her face. Tranquilly groaned quietly. "You're not going to die."

"Please, I won't hurt him." Malachite said. "I need to see if he's alright.

Can't you understand that we are trying to help him?"

Serenity finally nodded looking at Endymion moved aside, but still held on to her brothers hand.

She watched as the man named Malachite checked her brother. She looked at him pleadingly. "He should be alright." Malachite said. He saw the look of relief flutter across the girls face.

"But he will need to rest for a while, and not strain the muscle too much for the next couple days."

She nodded her head and returned to look at Tranquility while he slept. His breathing had become soft and not so labored. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

"Come, let us fix you something to eat." Terra grabbed a hold of Serenity's hand and gently lead her from the room, "My name is Terra." She smile warmly at her. Serenity looked down, then back at the young girl and said her first word, " Serena."

*Back on the Sun*

"Where are they?" Hades mumbled, " I haven't heard hide nor hair from them since they left, I should've heard something by now!" He paced back and forth in front of the portal. What was he going to do? They had to be back soon. He couldn't tell anyone. Not only would he be punished but they would as well. They all knew the law. His stomach got tighter every time someone walked past. He waited a few more minutes, then lost his patience. He had to go check on them himself and insure their safety.

A few seconds later he appeared outside a small building sitting neatly surrounded by trees. *What would they be doing here?* He thought. He walked in and saw five men

and a girl around sitting around a table trying to converse with the princess.

"Are you alright? I haven't heard from you, who are these people?" Hades said.

"I am fine...However, he is not," Serenity explained. "He's hurt."

"We have to go... get you two out of here." Hades said. Then he realized what she said. "What so you mean he is hurt?" He nearly screamed. The men jumped back in surprise. "What happened?"
