I'm sorry for not updating. My Laptop broke down and I hate using the desktop. The desktop is too slow.
In this chapter Serena and Queen Serenity meet for the first time.
Enjoy.
"She's awake." Rosie said to her brother and parents. They all came rushing up to her. Serena's eyes sight was blurry so she couldn't see their faces. When did I change in to my human form? Serena asked herself.
"What happened?" Serena groaned as she at up.
"You were poisoned. Queen Serenity saved your life. You can thank her when you are ale to stand. Queen Serenity is in a meeting right now." Carol answered.
"I'll wait until the meeting is over." Serena laid back down.
"You can go in now if you feel up to it."
"I need some fresh air first..." Serena sat up.
"Darien, help her up." Darien slid an arm around her waist and helped her stand up. She clung to his arm as they walked through the garden. Rosie was on the other side of Serena when her father called her.
"But father-" Rosie started to complain but Serena nudged her, "I'll be all right." She whispered. After a hesitation she left.
Darien led her to a bench and sat her down. "I'm so glad that you are all right." Darien whispered, taking her hand and stroked it with his thumb. Serena smiled at him. "I still feel a little queasy." Serena admitted. "Maybe this will help." Darien whispered and leaned over her and pressed his lips against hers gently. Serena responded straight away.
Soon the kiss deepened. They finally pulled away after a minute for much needed air. Darien rested his forehead against hers, breathing hard.
"You have no idea how long I wanted to do that." Darien managed to get out. Serena smiled. "How long?" She couldn't resist asking.
"When I first saw you in your human form." Darien admitted and leaned in for another kiss but Serena pulled away. "You are betrothed to Princess Serenity." She whispered.
Darien pulled away and sighed, "we don't know if she is a live."
"But what if she is?"
"I don't know. I do hope that she is alive some where. But I won't marry her. I want you and only you." Darien held her head in his hands.
"I don't belong in this world. Neither does my tiger." Serena said sadly.
"You love longzare right?" Darien touched his forehead to hers.
"Yes..."
"My parents love you, so does Rosie. And I'm sure that Longzare will love you once they get to know you."
"My family... I can't leave them."
Darien sighed. She was right she can't leave them. "Let me be with you for now."
Kenji and Ilene walked up the hallway, waiting to see their Queen. Sammy was following them looking around.
At the thrown Queen Serenity stood up and went over to them. "My dear friends how are you?"
"We're every good thank you. How are you?" Ilene asked.
"I'll feel a lot better when I find my Serenity."
"We think we have found her...You see I had a dream about her."
Queen Serenity waved a hand and four chairs appeared. "Tell me..."
"Serena, Serena, we have found the portal, you can go home." Rosie yelled out running over to her.
Serena looked over at Darien and nodded sadly.
Serena and Darien followed Rosie to the portal and with a look over her shoulder she smiled and said, "Thank you for everything." And then she turned and was about to walk in to the portal when an arm grabbed her around the waist.
Darien pulled Serena against him and kissed her hard. Serena returned the kiss. Rosie blushed. When they pulled away Darien whispered, "Come back soon." Serena could only nod.
And she walked through the portal with out looking back. Other wise she wouldn't be able to leave.
When she was gone Darien sighed, Rosie took his hand and squeezed it. Darien smiled gratefully at her.
They walked back to the gardens where their father was looking for something, rather franticly. He stopped when he saw them. "There you are. Where is Serena?"
"She went home I found the portal." Rosie replied.
"Oh no..." Macarius whispered.
Darien frowned and asked, "what's the matter?"
"Serena is Princess Serenity."
Darien and Rosie frowned at each other in confusion. "What?" They said at the same time.
Macarius told them what Queen Serenity told them. When he finished Darien swirled around and raced back to the portal, praying that it is still there.
Darien thanked the lords when he saw that it was still there. He jumped in to the portal and landed on his stomach on carpet covered floor.
Darien frowned. Carpet? He stood up and looked around. He was in somebody's house.
"Darien?" A voice said.
Darien turned to see Sammy standing in the door way. "Sammy, where is Serena?" Darien asked franticly.
"She's with Andrew. I guess your father told you then?" It was more of a statement then a question. Darien nodded.
"I came here to collect my bride." Darien said with a smile.
Sammy led Darien to Andrew's house. Andrew let them in. "Your Serena's older brother..." Darien said and Andrew nodded.
Now Darien understood the relationship between Andrew and Serena. The kisses they shared were be brother and sister acts of affection. Not girlfriend and boyfriend.
"I just told her. Now let me tell you what I just told her. Come in and sit down.
Once everyone had sat down Andrew began.
"Ten years ago Serenity's life was threatened by a witch who has a grudge against my family so our mother, Queen Serenity, sent us to earth to different families and removed our memories of each other and replaced them with other memories. She also gave Ilene and Kenji memories conceiving Serena and watch her in to the world.
When mother tried to use the spell on me it wouldn't work so she sent me to watch over her. When Serena's twin sister, Mina's parents died our mother got her first and whipped the memories away and gave her back the old ones because Mina was so depressed but when she was told that her sister was missing she went in to even a deeper depression.
Five years later Serena was attacked by a bear when she and her family her camping and Serena was dying- Serena told you about how we get the spirit of a cat?"
Darien and Rosie nodded. "How did you get your tiger?" Rosie asked.
"I nearly died in car accident one year before Serena got her cat. We heard on the news that a white Siberian tiger and her brother an orange tiger were dying from a illness at a local zoo. The brother went first and found me because he recognized me when I went to the zoo one day so he chose me. Then the sister died a year later and found Serena. Then we found each other. Well our cats found each other which led me to Serena aka Princess Serenity."
Rosie turned to Sammy, "how did you get your cat?"
"Sammy nearly died during child birth. As well as his cat. The cat chooses the human by a connection or if both cat and human nearly die in the same way." Serena explained. "A tiger cub died during child birth." Serena said.
Darien and Rosie fully understood. "So that means that the tiger has unfinished business?" Darien guessed. "Some thing like that." Andrew said.
After a minute of silence Andrew stood up, "we better go and see our mother." He said. Serena nodded.
They went back to the portal, went through it and landed in the gardens of Longzare where Queen Serenity was waiting for them.
Queen Serenity stared at her missing daughter with tears in her eyes. She than began the spell to give back her daughter's memory.
When she finished Serena opened her eyes and stared at her mother. Then raced towards her and hugged her tight and cried so hard that her ribs nearly broke.
Serenity hugged her daughter with just as much force, whispering in her ear, "your safe my darling. You and Andrew and Mina are safe."
That made Serena cry even harder. But this time they were tars of joy.
I'm sorry for taking so long but I didn't know what to write and my laptop broke.
What will happen next?
Wait and find out. Because I don't know myself.
Hopefully you won't have to wait long.
Please R&R
Again I'm sorry.
