Author's note: Oh gosh guys! I'm sooooooo sorry! This is difficult. I mean these next few chapters, I myself have no idea what's going to happen. All this is just right off the top of my head. I've had problems finding inspiration. If you guys do not like this chapter, let me know. I'm basing the story off of imagination and inspiration alone. So wish me luck as we dive into another chapter of Secrets of the Unknown.
Loneliness, Fear, Consequence.
Complete darkness.
Serenity ran. She felt her life in peril. Her heartbeats sped up as she felt the heavy breathing right behind her. Vibrating through her body, and echoing through out the silence, but it would never be silent. It would never allow her freedom.
Her legs were screaming for rest, her lungs about to explode. The air around her felt like it was getting sucked away, like each breath she took was precious.
"Why do you run? It won't do you any good." The voice was silky, mischievous, and dangerous.
"Leave me alone!" Serenity screamed trying to increase her speed, but only finding her body fought it.
'Sere-chan?'
Serenity heard her voice being called, but it sounded so far away. Help from her insanity seemed too far away.
'Sere-chan?'
Serenity kept fighting it as she felt herself collapse in the darkness. Her breath coming in small puffs she could see. Pushing up from her hands she tried getting up, but failed and dropped down onto the ground. Letting out a small whimper, she sucked in her breath, as strong arms encircled her.
"NO!" Serenity screamed kicking and fighting.
"You can't run from destiny." the voice said, as she felt a sharp pain in her neck.
"SERE-CHAN!" Serenity heard the voice nice and clear now.
She felt the clothes she had on, soaked with sweat sticking to her small frame. It was evident that the dress she had on, had been removed and she was now changed into a pair of black silk boxers, and a white T-shirt that read 'Thinking is for idiots!' Another one of Makoto's funny shirts she had gotten during college, as she had gone on a male-hating rampage. Mostly the 'idiots' she referred to, were actually men.
"Makoto-sama..." Serenity whispered smiling as she looked up into Makoto's worried forest green colored eyes.
Flashback:
Serenity ran in the direction of Makoto-sama's apartment. The black dress swishing around her small frame as the winds picked up. Her hair was flinging around in fury. The sky darkened in anger above her head in warning.
Why was she feeling that way about Endymion? He had kissed Beryl, had he not? And then he has the nerve to try and claim her! That bastard!
Serenity let out an unlady like snort. He was a bastard, but why did she feel those emotions around him? Her heart sped up even at the slightest thought about him. Her mind was filled every aching moment with his presence. His scent, cinnamon, and fresh roses lingered on the dress she now wore. What made her body ache for his attentions, her lips ache for his lips...She couldn't possibly love him! No, no she possibly couldn't...
And there was also the thought as to where he had gotten the dress. It was unlikely that it belonged to him. That's when Serenity got an image that thoroughly had a new meaning for transvestites. Mamoru stood there, in the dress she now wore. It clung to his masculine figure like a second skin, and she saw he had make up on as well, black eye liner outlining his beautiful blue eyes, silver lipstick that adorned his strikingly full lips. It gave him an unearthly look, adding to the ridiculousness of the image.
Serenity let out a small giggle at the picture that made. Maybe she'd play that kind of trick on him when he slept.
Shaking her head, freeing her of these thoughts, she picked up the black silk tresses of her dress with her small delicate hands and ran faster, her limbs burning as she saw the familiar apartments coming into her line of vision.
"Makoto-sama, Serenity whispered panting harshly. Her breath came in short gasps.
Leaning on the natural wooden door, she smiled weakly, while trying her best to knock. When her fists hit the door, she found her vision turn black, and Serenity fell into the darkness.
End of Flashback
"Sere-chan, I'm so glad you are alright." Makoto-sama said, putting on her most cheery smile that was hard to resist smiling back.
Serenity always felt that with Makoto-sama, she could never be in a bad mood.
"Makoto-sama, if Endym...I mean Mamoru comes by asking where I am, please tell him you don't know." Serenity pleaded as she looked up into Makoto's confused green eyes.
"Serenity, why? What's wrong with Mamoru, I thought you were courting each other? And you seemed to get along so well." Makoto-sama questioned.
Serenity sighed. It's not that. At least she didn't think so. With those heated looks that Endymion kept giving her, it was getting more and more confusing on what emotions she was experiencing. Of course, waking up naked in his bed hadn't helped, and also that heated kiss definitely hadn't helped her current situation, not at all.
A/N: sorry for the wait. I know this chapter isn't long, but like I said I've been experiencing problems. I'm trying my best to finish this story for you guys, the readers. Thank you for all your opinions. sigh I don't want to go back to school. Means more work, and less fun. Oh well, see ya guys next time!
