Last time:
"Endy..." I whispered to the man who held my shall.
Endymion smiled evily or charmingly, I wasn't quite sure at the moment. He slowly walked towards me and wrapped the pink shall around my shoulders.
"Did you miss me my fair queen?" The remark was said sarcastically, as he wrapped my pink shall around my shoulders. "One such as beautiful as yourself shouldn't be out here, alone. There are dangerous people out here…"
It took all of my strength to remind myself of his betrayal. "What are you doing here?" I whispered, trying hard not to cry, to hold him close.
"Oh, so you didn't miss me then? What a shame…tis to be expected though, isn't it?" His hands remained on my shoulders, squeezing them gently, almost…assuringly.
He's evil! I kept reminding myself over and over. As if sensing my doubt, Endymion smirked and kissed my neck before whispering in my ear, "It's a shame though, because I missed you…or at least, you screaming in pleasure beneath me. Begging for me to-"
"I do not beg." Serenity said calmly, moving away from him. "If there is a reason you have returned please do tell me so that I can return to the palace."
Endymion smiled calmly but I could tell he was upset that I had dismissed him. "Is it against the law that I visit my palace? After all, if I remember correctly, had you not married me you would not be queen of Crystal Tokyo."
"What do you want Endy..Endymion?" I asked, with more confidence then I'd had before.
His eyes narrowed at me, still evading my question he said, " Or is it that you've found a new lover to satiate your desires? Which is it Serenity? Did you use that damned crystal of yours to bring Demando back to life?"
His voice sounded dangerous and almost…jealous. Was it my imagination? Would he really think I could ever…that I would ever…
"Of course not!" I snapped, "Why would I bring that crazy, obsessed…."
Endymion cut me off, "Why would you accept his gifts?"
I turned and stared at him, his eyes were still narrowed, " Endymion that was awhile ago. Don't tell me that you're still upset about that."
He didn't answer for a few minutes, "Perhaps it is best that I do go…"
Could it be that was the reason he hadn't returned to his former self? Was he still harboring anger towards me for unknown reasons?
"Endy…" I whispered longingly.
He paused for a brief second as if waiting for me to say more, but I couldn't. There was nothing more to say. I watched as he clenched his fists and disappeared in a puff of black smoke. Using his ability to connect with me telepathically he said Until next time, my dearest…
This was not said in a loving way.
Chibi Usa's point of view….
"So, who do you think it is?" Reika, Rei's daughter asked. She was referring to the masked man from a few nights before.
Chibi Usa shrugged, "I dunno…" All she could think about was that man. He was so…handsome! Well, if she could see his face she was certain he would've been handsome if she could have seen his face.
"Oh you know what he reminded me of? A blue version of Robin Hood.." Aiko said with a giggle.
The other girls laughed and Chibi Usa rolled her eyes. After the incident at her prenuptial ball, she hadn't gotten a chance to meet her betrothed. She still found it hard to believe that any parent could still force their child to marry someone. It's because you're royalty her mother had said And we've all had to go through it, your father and I were betrothed once..
And look how they turned out, Chibi Usa thought glumly.
Edgar sighed as he hid in an alley. Another guard was after him. Though it was to be expected since he had stolen two loaves of bread. Edgar chuckled to himself as he ripped a piece of fresh bread off and chewed on it thoughtfully. He'd never figured out what had happened at the ball. One minute he was trying to steal some valuables and the next, he was lying on the ground in an alley. Certainly, no one could've caught him and thrown him out. Could they? No, it was much too impossible.
