Authoress Note: I will be ending this story soon but there will be a sequel. It will be called "Feeling Lonely 2." It will feature the story of Serenity's youngest child. The one who will rule it all.
I stood on a hill overlooking Metallia and her army. I frowned when I spotted Endymion at her side. That traitorous bastard is going to die this day and by my own hands. I can't believe that he betrayed me like he did. Did he really think that after all that he had done, that I would join his side? I am stronger than he thinks and today I would prove it to both him and Metallia.
At dawn this morning, Emerald helped me place on my armor. I now wear a white plated breast plate around my torso. It is decorated with tiny golden moons. The bottom of my dress is covered with golden chain mess skirt. My sword has a moon shaped hilt and is strapped around my waist. Hidden in my boots are two daggers, in case I need them. And in my hands is my shield which has a golden moon in the center.
"Serenity, you cannot be serious. Think about your children. Think about what Diamond will do to me once he finds out that I let you get in harms way. My life will be no more," Sapphire spoke, trying to reason with me, his queen and sister-in-law.
"You know as well as I do that Diamond will never harm you. So stop being such a drama queen. There is nothing you can say that will make me change my mind. That bitch will get what she deserves."
"You cannot fight, Serenity. The Moon Kingdom's heir, the Negaverse's heir, and the third child will be harmed. Doesn't the life of your babies mean anything to you?"
I quickly turned on him. "Don't you dare tell me that I don't care about the safety of my own children! They are the ones that I am fighting for! Do you think Metallia would care if I am pregnant? Do you think she will have mercy on me and my children? I don't think so!"
My soldiers stared at me like I had grown another head. "What are you all staring at?" I yelled at them. "Get back into position and stop being so damn nosy!"
"Umm, Serenity," Emerald spoke with uncertainty. "Are you alright? You're kind of scaring everyone."
I gave them an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. But we can't talk about this right now. Metallia is beginning to make the first move." Sure enough, Metallia and her army were coming towards us at a rapid pace. When they were almost upon us, I called out to the archers. "Fire!" I yelled.
The archers didn't hesitate and did what they were told. Now if the rest of the army was that easy. Some of the men were already giving me grief because I am a woman and like most men they don't think that I am capable of controlling an army, which pisses me off. Lately, everything has been pissing me off. I focused back towards the battle and noticed that the archers brought down a few men. I was proud of them and beamed with pride. "Archers, again," I yelled, watching the arrows fly, bringing down more men. So far so good. But that could change at any moment.
"My queen, I believe we should charge at them. If we continue to stand here like we are, Metallia's army will strike us down where we stand," General Dragon told me.
I glared at him, making him move a few steps back. "We will stay here for now. Do not question my authority again."
"But, my queen…" He tried to say but I cut him off with a wave of my hand.
"Enough, General. Do not question me any further. Or I will remove you from your post. Am I understood?" He nodded his head. "Good, tell the men to prepare to charge."
I sighed with frustration when I noticed that Emerald was staring at me. "Yes, Emerald. Is there something that you need or wish to say?"
Emerald shook her head laughing. "No, but it sure is fun to watch you put the men in their place. It's better than watching Sapphire freak out."
"Glad that I can be of some amusement for you," I spoke, crossing my arms.
"Don't be like that. You know I meant nothing by it," she replied back. She then pointed towards Metallia's advancing army. "What should we do about them, my queen? Their getting awfully close to us. Should I have the archers perform once more?"
That wasn't such a bad idea. "Go ahead and give the order, Emerald. The more men the archers can take down, the less we have to deal with. But keep your eyes open. I know Metallia is planning something huge. I just don't know what."
"Gottcha," she spoke, turning her body around to face the archers. "Once more, men! Show your queen what you're made of! I want you each to shoot two rounds of arrows, you got that."
Once again I watched the enemy fall down before me. It was time to pay the bitch back for destroying the Moon Kingdom, my mother, my subjects, and my friends. "CHARGE!" I screamed out loud enough for everyone to hear, while making my way down the hill. I wasn't going to give a long and boring speech. I was impatient to kill Metallia and Endymion for the hurt that they have caused.
True to her word, Emerald stuck by my side. I was surprised to see Sapphire there as well. I gave him a look. "What?" he said staring back at me. "Don't be too surprised. Diamond told me to look after you, didn't he? I prefer to keep my life intact, thank you."
I gave him a brief smile and focused on unsheathing my sword from my waist. I was glad for the armor for it protects my children. This was for them and I won't lose. My magic protects them but even if I didn't have magic the body protects a child at the beginning stages, which I am currently experiencing. I wouldn't be really harming them until in the later months.
I spotted Endymion a few feet away from me and made my way towards him. I used my sword to strike at the men who was in my way. Emerald and Sapphire did the same. They knew where I was headed and they were giving me their support. Well, more like Emerald was giving me her support. Sapphire was only doing what he was told. But I still felt safe with him by my side.
I finally reached the man I needed to kill. "Endymion, I told you that I would be the one to kill you and I am here now to fulfill my promise." I positioned myself to fight him with my sword held out in front of me. "He is mine," I told Emerald and Sapphire. "Do not interfere. Make sure that no one interrupts us."
Endymion laughed. "You, are mere woman promises to kill me, a prince of Earth and Metallia's second in command. You are nothing but a little girl. Stop this nonsense and return home like a good wife should. Leave this battle to us men."
"I don't see a man here. I only see a spoiled boy who needs to be punished. Diamond is more of a man then you will ever be. I don't know what I possibly saw in you. I must have been out of my mind."
"Bitch," Endymion hissed. "I will make you regret those words.
He charged straight for me and I lifted up my sword to avoid his blow. I pushed him back using my sword and swung my sword towards his chest. "By the way, Endy. I am pregnant and the children may be yours," I whispered, knowing that this bit of information would throw him off and give me the chance to strike at him.
Endymion lowered his sword. "What did you just say? Did I just hear you right?"
"Yes," I answered him, trusting my sword into his heart and twisting it for good measure. "I wouldn't lie about something like that. But you will never get the chance to know if it's true or not and you will never get the chance to raise them. Diamond and I will."
Endymion sneered at me in pain. "I always knew you were a bitch, Serenity. Just like your mother. Should I tell you how she died? Would that make it easier on you to know that she whispered your name before she departed from this world. And that I was the one to kill your precious mother and it was I that ordered the destruction of your Moon Kingdom, the very kingdom that snubbed me while I was married to you."
Tears streamed down my face as I twisted the sword further, causing him to cry out in more pain. "Die, Endymion. Tell Hades that I said hello."
"I will return, Serenity. And I will take back what is rightfully mine. Death is only the beginning," he whispered. I knew that he wouldn't last much longer.
I smirked at him. "You can't come back once you're dead. Farewell, Endymion. I would say that I was happy to know you but that would be a lie. You made my life a living hell and now I am returning the favor."
Endymion took his last breath. I took out my sword from his heart and used the grass to wipe the blood off the blade. A shriek carried out over the battle field and I looked up to see Metallia charging at me. It seems that my break was short lived. I readied my stance and waited for her to reach me.
"You killed him!" She shouted at me. "How could you? He was the only man that I have ever loved. You will pay for that."
I snorted. "He was with me first, Metallia. How does it feel to know that you had used goods?"
Metallia yelled in outrage and I found in opening to strike at her. This was my only shot and I was going to take it. I was going to use her anger to my advantage. As my sword struck her in the heart, the same spot as Endymion's wound-it was only fitting that they died the same way, her sword struck my shoulder. I felt instant pain but I didn't stop. I pushed my sword further into her. I still didn't stop when I felt her sword go through my shoulder and cut some of my hair. I still didn't stop when the battlefield grew quiet and everyone was watching us.
"This is it for you, Metallia. Die for your sins," I hissed.
She fell to the ground, taking my sword with her. She stared up at me in complete shock. "I will return, Serenity. Death is only the beginning," she whispered, and then she died. I hope that the bitch and Endymion stayed dead.
I thought about their last words, "Death is only the beginning." Was it some sort of magical words? Would those words bring them back? I couldn't ponder on it anymore for the pain in my shoulder intensified. I then remember that I still had Metallia's sword in my shoulder. I reached up and pulled it out, hissing in pain. Once it was in my hands, I handed it over to Sapphire.
"Give it to Diamond when he returns. Then he will know that Metallia is truly out of our lives," I said, placing my hand on my forehead, swaying in the process. I must have lost too much blood. And only over a shoulder wound.
Sapphire caught me before I fell. "Someone get a doctor over here! The queen is hurt!"
General Dragon dragged the doctor and I suppressed a giggle. All this attention on little ole me. The doctor removed my breastplate and ripped off my sleeve to look at the wound. "Well, my queen. The blade went straight through. I see no veins or muscles injured. You were very lucky. How are the children?" He asked, beginning to wrap my wound with a bandage.
"Their fine," I hissed, as he touched my wound.
Sapphire began to pace back and forth. "Diamond is going have my head," he muttered. "Diamond is going to have my head."
I giggled. "No, he's not. I will make sure it never happens. My children need their uncle. So, stop pacing and repeating yourself." I looked over at Emerald. "What made you fall in love with him? He acts like such a drama queen."
"I do not."
"Do too," I retorted.
"Do not."
"Do too," I retorted back.
Emerald laughed, causing us to stop. "You two are really something. I think I'm going to like being a part of this family."
"Don't tell me you're pregnant?" I asked her.
Emerald truly looked horrified. "Oh, hell no. I'm not pregnant. What made you think of that? Have you lost too much blood? Is the blood loss going straight to your head?"
"You said you're going to like being a part of this family. I just thought that you were pregnant. That's all."
Emerald sighed. "Sapphire and I were married by the priest last night. We thought that if one of us was going to die in battle, we might as well make it official."
The doctor finished dressing my wound and helped me to my feet. I instantly went over to Emerald and hugged her. "Welcome to the family."
A soldier came running towards us. "King Diamond has just arrived on the battlefield, my queen. And he is looking for you," he panted. "He seems to be royally pissed."
Sapphire paled and Emerald and I gasped at the same time. "Oh, shit," I whispered. "I'm in deep trouble."
"You took the words right out of my mouth," Sapphire whispered also. "I knew it. I am seriously going to die."
"No, Serenity," Emerald whispered back. "Were all in deep shit and Sapphire stop being such a drama queen. You're not going to die. Maybe be tortured but not dieing."
I rolled my eyes at the whimpering Sapphire. "Did you have to mention torture, Emerald? The poor boy is going to piss his pants."
"I'm not cleaning them," She answered. "He's on his own in that department."
Diamond arrived with a dozen of his men behind him. "What the hell happened here, Serenity? And why did Sapphire just faint?"
