Chapter 12
Serena didn't move from his arms for hours. She was in shock,she couldn't believe how someone could take a life. Edward stayed still as he waited for Serena to get herself together. He didn't know what to say to her. Serena moved her head away from his chest and looked at him and said "can we get out of here". Edward nodded and picked her up and started to run back to her house.
When they got back to her house,she asked him why someone would kill an innocent creature like that. Edward sighed and answered because that's what vampires do. Serena shivered and looked away from him. She knew he wouldn't but other vampires do. Edward looked at her with a sad face. Serena felt him looking at her and turned and faced him.
"I just can't deal with death" said Serena as she remembered her senshi dying for her countless times. Edward took a slow step towards her and said "I am here for you". Serena smiled a sad smile and stared at him with unreadable eyes. She didn't move as he came closer to her. She knew she would never stop loving him and decided not to ignore it anymore. "Alright you win" whispered Serena.
Edward froze and stared at her. "What" asked Edward confused. Serena smiled at him and shook her head and walked the rest of the way to him and stared in his eyes and said "I give up fighting".
Edward blinked and said "fighting what"? Serena laughed and took his hand.
"Fate" said Serena. Edward still didn't know what she was talking about. Serena saw on his face that he didn't understand what she was talking about and began to explain what fate was. Some fates were good,while others were bad. He asked which kind of fate was this.
Serena closed her eyes and said "good". Edward smiled at her as she opened her eyes again and smiled back. She didn't know when she started to love him but fate brought them together and you can't change fate. She had tried before and things went bad.
They stood holding hands for a while looking at each other. Serena was still worried about what she just saw but right now right now she felt safe with Edward and decided to think more of what the events mean later.
Serena moved closer to Edward and stared into his eyes. Edward was getting a bit nervous with her so close to him. He didn't know if he would be able to control himself. Serena slowly brought her lips towards his and then kissed him. Edward's eyes went wide when she kissed him.
He just stood there in shock,not knowing what to do. A lot of thoughts ran threw his head. But all the thoughts stopped when he got a image in his head of Serena in her princess form covered in blood standing in a destroyed room.
He pulled away with shock on his face as Serena stared at him with a worry look on her face. They had no idea what fate had in store for them.
