Chapter 4
"Serena, How did you escape?" She asked. Serena pulled out of Dariens arms. "I was taking to Nemisis, to see father. I wasn't a prisnor there." She said softly. "Serena, father is dead. He died back in the war with Nemsis. You know that." He said softly but a little irratated. "If father is died, then how did I know where to find the silver crystal?" She asked harshly. "Lucky guess." He said. "No it's not, I seen father and Alaynia too." She blurted out. "Alaynia?" Darien and Samuel said together. Serena stared at them as they stared at her. "Yes, she is a prisnor for King Mindos and so is father." She stated. Samuel rose and walked towards the window. "Is she okay?" Darien asked. "Yes." She answered softly. He sighed in relief. "I have to go rescue her." Samuel said as he started to leave. "Samuel wait." Darien said as he stood up. "I am going with you." He said. "Darien no, you can't go, your still weak." Serena cried. He looked down at her. "I have too Serena...I promise I will come back to you." He said as he lifted her chin up to stare into her eyes. She nodded in agreement as tears started to fall.
"Please becareful, son." The Queen said sadly. "I will mother, we will back before you know it." He said as he hugged her. "I love you Serena." Darien said as he leaned in to kiss her. "I love you too, Darien." She said as she kissed him. They pulled out of the kiss. "Bring him back safely." Serena said to her brother. "I will, sis." He said as they teleported to Nemsis.
Samuel and Darien appeared on Nemisis, dowm in the dungeon. They carefully walked around looking in cells til a weak voice called to them. "Samuel?" She asked weakly. "Alaynia?" He asked as he ran to her cell. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Yes, I think so." She said as she walked towards the door. "I am going to get you out of here." He said. "How? One of the gurads has the keys." She said sadly. Darien walked towards the cell. "Alaynia." "Darien!" She cried. "Darien stay here why I go look for the keys." Samuel said. Darien nodded in agreement. Samuel walked down a hallway until he was stopped. "Samuel, is that you?" A man asked. Samuel turned towards the cell doors. "Father?" He asked. "Samuel, what are you doing here?" He asked. "Serena told me Alaynia was here and I came to rescue her." He said. "Hey!" A guard yelled. Samuel turned to his right and saw the guard. The guard headed towards him. Samuel pulled out his sword and prepared to fight. The guard to pulled out his sword and began to fight with Samuel. The fight didn't last long before Samuel beheaded the man. Samuel put his sword away and began to search the man for the keys. He found the keys and unlocked the door to his fathers cell. "What are you doing?" Jonathan asked. "We don't have a lot of time father, lets go." "I can't if I stay here, King Mindos wont attack the moon." Jonathan said as he backed away from his son. "We need you at home, father. We will deal with Mindos later." Samuel said as he urged his father. Jonathan hesitated for a moment and then nodded as he followed Samuel down the hall. Samuel reached Alaynia's cell and unlocked the door. She leaped into his arms and he hugged her tightly. They all took eachothers hands and teleported back to the Moon.
The Queen was in the ballroom hall when the doors opened up. She turned around and froze in her place. "Jonathan?" She whispered as he walked through the door. He smiled he walked towards her. "Serenity!" "Jonathan!" She cried as she ran into his arms. He held her in his embrace. "I can't believe your alive." She said as she closed her eyes. "I know, its so nice to finally beable to hold you in my arms again." He whispered. "Yout Highness, where is Serena?" Darien asked the Queen. She pulled out of Jonathans embrace. "I believe she is in the rose garden." She answered sweetly. He smiled and nodded as he left the room and headed out towards the rose garden.
She stood infront of the fountain as he walked into the gardens. "There you are." He said softly. She smiled as she turned around. "Darien!" She cried as she ran into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her. "I was so worried." She said softly. "Everythings okay now, come on I want you to meet my sister." He said as he pulled her out of his embrace and took her hand. She smiled as they walked back up to the palace.
"Oh Samuel, I thought I would never see you again." Alaynia cried as she pulled out of his embrace. "Shh..it's okay now. How did you get there?" He asked curiously. She looked down at the floor as tears formed in the corners of her eyes. "When my father found out about us, he went into a rage and gave me to King Mindos." She cried. "What?" A voice shouted. They both turned an looked towards the door. Darien and Serena were standing in the door way. "Father did what?" He asked again as he walked towards her. "He gave me to King Mindos for a peace treaty, because I am in love with Samuel." She said as she stared her brother in his eyes. Darien was furious, his blood was boiling. "And that's why I won't be returning to Earth with you." She spoke softly. He nodded as he walked away. "Darien?" Serena called after him. He continued to walk away without a word. Princess Serena ran after him.
"Darien wait!" She cried. He stopped and turned around. "What are you going to do?" She asked. He stared into her beautiful blue eyes. "I am going to talk with my father and I have to grab something from home, I will return shortly." He said as he kissed her cheek softly. "I Love you." She whispered. "I love you too." He said as he turned and left for Earth. Serena heard a loud crashing sound come from inside the palace. "Mother! Samuel!" She cried as she ran towards the palace...
Darien appeared in is room and looked around his room. "Where have you been?" A man asked hatefully. Darien turned and looked over at the door way. "Where's Alaynia father?" Darien asked. "We've already been through this. Now answer my question." His father snapped. "I have been on the Moon, with the woman I love. You going to send me away, like you did Alaynia?" Darien snapped back in rage. His father stood there in disblief. "Yes Father I know what you did..." Darien said as he continued to look around his room. "I wouldn't go back, if I were you." His father said. Darien turned and looked up at his father as he found what he was looking for. "What do you mean?" He asked. "The moon is at war with Nemisis as we speak." "Serena.." Darien whispered as he teleported back to the moon, leaving his father there alone.
Darien appeared back on the moon in front of the palace. He looked around to see people running around screaming and the palace starting to crumble. "Serena?" He yelled as he ran into the palace. "Alaynia!" Samuel yelled as he looked around the ball room for her. "Samuel, over here!" She cried. He looked around and spotted her over by the doorway of the ball room. He ran over to her. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Yes." She nodded as she looked past him. "Samuel! Look out!" Alaynia cried as she pushed him out of the way. Samuel fell to his knees as he heard a painful scream. "Alaynia!" He yelled as he turned and saw one of Mindos men jab a dagger into her chest. She fell to her knees as Samuel jumped up in anger and pulled out his sword as he charged at the man. Before he had time to react Samuel jabbed his sword into his heart. The man let out a painful cry as Samuel pulled out the sword. The man fell to the ground dead. Samuel dropped his sword and ran to her side. "Alaynia!" He cried softly as he lifted her body into his arms. She looked up at him weakly. "Why?" He whispered. "Because, I love you..." She said softly "Alaynia?" Darien yelled as he ran over to them. "What happened?" He asked as he looked up at a broken Samuel. "He came out of nowhere and she...she saved me..." Darien looked back down at Alaynia. "Get her out of here." He said as he gave Samuel is teleporting key. "Take her back to Earth and get her some help." He said as he looked at Samuel. Samuel took the key and nodded. Darien stood up and left to go find Serena.
