"I'm doing this because…. I love you, Serena…"
Silence…. The room was filled with nothing but silence when Endymion finished his sentence. Serena looked at him with total disbelief and shock, she expected him to say anything but that. All her anger was replaced with fear, fear of what might happen next. Endymion sensed her fear and uncertainty, but he was determined to win her no matter what. Slowly he held her face with his two hands, and raised her head toward his. He saw the pain in her eyes, the pain that she tried to hide for eighteen years, and his heart ached. For her pain was his own, and it always was.
"When?" she whispered.
"The ball." He answered.
"How?" she asked again.
"I followed you to your secret room."
"I see."
"Why Serena?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you living as a man?"
"I have my reasons." She said, pushing him away.
"Tell Me." he demanded.
"Why should I ?" she asked.
"I have the right to know." He said.
"No you don't." she said, putting her ice mask back on.
"Of course I do. I love you, Serena."
"I.. I don't care if you love me or not." She said, knowing that their love will only bring pain to them and their friends, she said her sentence knowing that if her father knew about them, he'll prepare a little accident for Endymion, she have seen him prepare those *accidents* to many people before.
"How could you be so cold? And WHY don't you want to tell me?" he said, in a very angry voice. "Oh I see, it's because of the throne, isn't it? That's all you're thinking about aren't you? Now I understand… when you were born your mother told the world that you were a boy just to keep the throne to herself, and for eighteen years she kept feeding you her greed and love for power. And your poor father probably doesn't know anything about you, he probably doesn't know that his only son is actually a girl. I pity him for having such a greedy wife, and I pity him for having even a greedier daughter."
"You no NOTHING about my mother, so SHUT UP."
"OH I KNOW ENOUGH, SHE'S NOTHING BUT A BLACK WIDOW SPIDER."
"HOW DARE YOU talk about my mother like that? You know NOTHING. My father is the one who lied about my gender, because he didn't want my uncle to rule after him, but lying about my gender wasn't enough for him NOO he prepared a little *accident* for my uncle, who died as a result three years ago. And my *POOR* father threatened my *GREEDY* mother for eighteen years. He told her that he'll kill her, Luna, and Artemis if they told the world who I really am. Luna and Artemis were the only people who knew who I really was. But my mother couldn't bear to see me live like that, so she, with the help of Luna and Artemis, taught me how to act like a lady. She never wanted me to lose my feminine side, and she introduced me to my friends, because she knew that I would need friends to talk to. If my father knew about what my mother did, he will kill her along with everyone who knows who I really was. He's only keeping my mother alive to blackmail me and to have total control over me. Now you know the truth, the whole truth about my life, a life I lived in fear and pain, a life I didn't even chose for myself. And now, you show up in my life, and stupid me had to fall in love with you. But I couldn't tell you I love you because you thought I was a man. I know my love is impossible, but I can't help it I……I " and she broke down in tears, which she couldn't hold in much longer. Endymion hurried to her side and hugged her gently, whispering soothing words into her ears.
"Shshsh, you'll be okay. Everything will be fine, I'm here now."
"Oh Endy please… please don't leave me. I can't live without you." She whispered, crying even harder than before.
"I'll never leave you my love, never." He said gently stroking her back.
"I'm sorry love, I didn't mean what I said about you or your mother. I was just…just angry for not being able to make you fall in love with me, please forgive me." he whispered in her ears.
"It's okay Endy, I understand. I love you." She whispered in between her sobs. "I'm sorry for crying Endy, it's just that I've been holding my tears all my life, I don't think I can hold them in any longer."
"Don't be sorry angel, what you've been through is not easy, you need to get it off your chest." He said, and carried her to an armchair where he sat down placing her on his lap and hugging her tightly. Serena cuddled closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I love you, my prince."
"And I love you, princess."
And the stayed like this for hours, just satisfied for being together.
"ENDYMION… AARON??? WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"
Endymion and Serena jumped when they heard the screaming voice, they were obviously startled. When they turned around, they saw Ray and Jedite, whose jaw was dropped to the floor, at the door. Ray closed the door quickly, not wanting anybody to see what she and Jedite saw. When she locked the door, she turned to the startled princes with a very angry look.
"He knows?" she asked Serena coldly, not giving Endymion or Jedite any attention.
"Uh huh." Nodded Serena, avoiding her friend's look.
Ray never forgot for a moment that she was Serena's personal guard, and she never forgot that she swore to protect Serena at any cause. And she knew that the king will kill Serena if she ever disobey him, that's why she HAD to keep Serena's secret from getting out, and – in this case- it can only be done by silencing Endymion…. Forever.
"He knows, then he DIES." Said Ray firmly. And with one swift movement, she jumped toward the oblivious Jedite and snatched his dagger , and ran to Endymion, aiming to his heart….

"Oh I love this garden so much, it is sooo beautiful, isn't it Mal?" Said Mina, admiring the royal rose garden. She was sitting on a stone bench facing the fountain, and beside her sat Malachite, staring at nothing.
"Uh hm" murmured Malachite.
"I wish we had something this beautiful back home." Said Mina, sighing.
"Uhhum."
"Mal, are you listening to me?"
"Uhhum."
"Then what was I saying?"
"Uhhum."
"MALACHITE." She screamed angrily.
"Huh? Did you say something darling?" questioned Malachite, looking at the blond for the first time since they sat down.
"You weren't even listening to me, were you?"
"Umm I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something." He said, apologizing.
"Mal, what's wrong?" asked Mina in concern. "You've been acting weird since the ball."
"It's just… nah just forget about it."
"I wont forget about it, tell me." she insisted.
"Well, remember when Lita screamed at the ball?" he asked.
"Yeah, she thought she saw a snake."
"That's the strange part. Why would she be afraid of a snake?"
"What's so strange about that? I would've done the same thing if I were in her place."
"It's okay if you or any other lady does that, but its not when LITA does it."
"And why not?"
"Because she taught Aaron how to catch SNAKES without letting them bite him when he was a seven year old boy. She was raised in the Far East. Catching reptiles was an important part in her training. I SAW her teach Aary how to catch all kinds of reptiles, heck she even gave me a pointer or two in that subject." He explained.
"Hmm that is strange, but maybe the girls dared her to scream like that."
"That what I thought at first, but then more odd things started to happen." Said Malachite, slightly frowning.
"Like what?" Asked Mina, getting more interested in the subject by the second.
"Well, first there was that girl who was with Artemis. She looked so familiar to me, and when I asked Zoycite about her after the ball, he told me that she was Artimes's niece." He said.
"So?"
"I know for a FACT that Artemis doesn't have a *niece *. And what puzzles me more is that girl's name… Serena."
"What's wrong with her name? I like her name. I think it's pretty."
"What is wrong is that this name was Queen's Serenity's pet name when she was younger. I often heard my father call her that when I was a child. Do you know what that means? It means that –THAT- girl's name is Serenity."
"So what's wrong with that? Maybe it's just a coincidence. Stop worrying about it." Said Mina, trying to stop his worries.
"You don't know anything, do you Mina? Serenity is a Carian Royal name. Only ladies with royal blood can be named Serenity." He clarified.
"OH MY GOD.. You don't mean that… that she might be of a royal blood, do you?"
"That's –exactly- what I mean." He said.
"But as far as I know, beside the king and queen, Aaron is the only one who carries pure royal blood in Caria."
"That's what I thought too. "
"Maybe she's his sister." She suggested.
"Not a chance. If Aaron had a sister *I* would've known EVEN if her existence was kept a secret." He said, deep in thought.
"And what are you going to do about it now?" Asked Mina, looking straight into his eyes.
"I'm going to confront Aaron with my suspicion." He said, and without another word grabbed her wrist and headed towards the study, where he left Aaron and Endymion earlier…
