The Princess couldn't sleep tonight. Her mind drifted back to her Mentor every second available. She remembered everything. Every touch they exchanged, every kiss they sealed their love with. Every one damn word that proved this feeling...

There were times however, when they didn't exchanged words of love, but words of knowledge. Yes, love was still there, that evident. Both could see it clearly. Yet these words meant as much to them, as the ones with love..They meant freedom. Means to kill without the guilt eating your brain out. A way to calm your consciousness, so there could be no regrets.

The Princess remembered when her Knight explained the unknown Faith she had in the glowing Night Giant..

The Glowing Ethereal Orb with a simple, yet beautiful name.

The Moon.

The Princess was on the roof, alone in the cold. Alone in the darkness. She was staring down at the people bellow her. People that had no idea what wars and fights were waged. Nobody knew. The Knight was sleeping calmly in the bed, or so the Princess thought. She left her there, after all. Another nightmare hunted her sleep. Nightmares of the beast that tormented her for years. Her slaver...

The Princess looked up tonight. It was full moon and so she smiled. When she saw the white giant above her head, she smiled. They were always moving. Whenever it was night or day. No police this way. Mainly however, they moved at night. And the Princess was glad. Because even though she knew she was alone, even with all the other girls around, she felt a silent presence above her head. A silent guardian to her broken life.

She felt.. somehow.. safe. Even with all those monstrosities that waited her ahead. The Princess knew there was someone watching her..

All the time...

So deep in her thoughts was the lonely Princess, that she didn't realized that her lover was standing next to the doors, silently watching her as she stared at the moon. The Knight silently stared at her, smiling at the process. When she woke up in an empty bed, she felt strange. Incomplete... She needed her Princess beside her. She needed to feel her body pressed against her's. It was her new addiction. And she loved it.

The Knight went silently closer to the Princess, not wanting to disturb her thoughts. Much more later did she realized that Alex's thoughts weren't pleasant at all. When she saw her pained gaze, she realized that she was, very likely, reliving one of her nightmares again. One of her pained memories with her, so called, customers. It pained her to watch her lover like this. Broken. Empty.

So, instead of just accepting her lover's silent cries, she went behind her, embracing her Princess from behind. Knight's head was in the crook of Alex's neck, her lips near her's. The Princess gasped loudly, scared by the sudden touch. However when she felt who exactly was touching her, she relaxed in her arms. The Knight had a strange relaxing effect for the broken Princess...

"Stare a bit more and maybe she'll come down.." the Knight whispered into her ear, her hands providing comfort the pained Princess desperately needed.

"What are you doing up here ?" the Princess said with a loud sigh, shaking her head. It was not that she didn't wanted Nikita's attention at the moment, but she partly needed to be alone. Just for this night..

"Well, the bed was empty..You know i can't sleep when you're not with me...What about you ?" the Knight asked with concern in her voice. It was a long time ago when her Princess looked so broken and sad. Alex looked behind her, a sad smile on her beautiful face. Smile that her Knight knew very well.

"Couldn't sleep..." the Princess said, shaking her head, wiping out her tears. The Knight quickly kissed her neck, her hands holding her tightly. She pointed with her head at the empty can of energy drink, smiling in the process.

"Well, Red Bull will not help you in that..." they both smiled, Alex finally felt relaxed enough to laugh. The Knight smiled gently, enjoying the soft sound.

"Hah, yeah i guess..." the Princess silently whispered, still looking up at the sky. Her Knight knew that something was troubling her young lover.

"What's wrong my love ?" the Knight asked gently, holding her Princess tightly, never letting her go. She could hear a silent sob...

"Just memories..." the Princess said, breaking their embrace. The Knight knew that this was a sensitive thing to talk about, so she didn't wanted to ask.

Instead, she asked something that caused this whole discussion.

"What does the Moon have to do with that ?" the Knight smiled gently, looking up.. The glowing Giant was illuminating the whole sky. The Princess joined her in this staring contests, determined to win this non-happening battle of theirs. She smiled in the process, going closer to her Knight.

"Well...With Vlad, we mainly moved at night so nobody could see us..." the Princess tried to talk, but emotions took away her very strength. She felt so weak at the moment...

"And your only companion was she ?" the Knight asked, feeling that the Princess had no more strength to talk about the past. Her hand went to caress her hair, providing the needed comfort for the Princess.

"She ?" the Princess asked, confusion fill her voice. She did not understand a thing...

"Answer me first.. Was i right ?" the Knight said, smiling to herself. She knew what exactly her Princess meant.

"Yeah..." the Princess simply nodded, not entirely sure if she did the right thing. She knew her Knight was religious, she heard her prayers at nights, when the Knight thought she was sleeping. She did not understand the language, however. Sound of laughter filled the air, and the Princess was taken back to reality..

"Thought so.." the Knight replied, shaking her head. Her Princess smiled with confusion, still not understanding what exactly is her Knight doing ?

"Who is she ?" the Princess asked with a smile and the Knight let out a huge sigh. She looked up again, staring at the mesmerizing sky.

"You stared at her few moments ago.." the Knight closed her eyes, enjoying the cold wind. The Princess gave her a confused stare, smiling, nearly laughing..

"The moon ?" the Princess said, laughing. This made no sense at all...

"Elune..Luna, if you want.." the Knight replied, smiling in the process. Her eyes never left the Beautiful Orb on the sky.

"Didn't knew it-she, had a name.." the Princess stated, joining her lover in staring. She placed her hand on Nikita's, warming them a bit.

"There's so many things you don't know, Hime..." the Knight replied, leaning closer to her Princess. She felt so good in her arms, or when their skin was touching. It never really mattered. When they were together, even at this proximity, it always affected them both.

The Princess was thinking, was this even possible ? Was it even true ?

"You believe in this ?" she asked simply, her eyes never leaving the sky. The Knight often asked these questions, back in her Clan...

"I do.. No other religion gives me the needed freedom...If i'll kill as a Christian, i'll end up in hell. I won't even try to say my prayers as a Muslim in the States.. We all know how that would have ended... As a Hindu i would have to re-live this life again. No thanks. Although when i'm looking at you, it might be actually worth it.." the Knight looked down at the streets, feeling a bit weird. She never spoke about this to another person. Sure, back there, it was easy. Everyone listened. But with her Princess, she could never really know...

"Tease.." the Princess laughed, gripping her lover's hand.

"Everything other is just..I don't know...Not for me.. If i'll have to give my soul to someone, i need to know that he, or she in this matter, will know why exactly did i made the decisions i did. Why i killed so many people. Why do i hate the way i do... Why do i love you.." the Knight knew their love could never be true in these religions. She knew that many things would never be allowed. She would never allow anything, or anyone, between her and the Princess she loved so much.

There was nothing strong enough to get between them.

"You think this it the right way ?" the Princess asked, and the Knight was confused, she did not understand. These ways, these thoughts were hers, and her Clan's. And yet, this silent Princess wanted to hear more. Nikita simply smiled, nodding.

"For me, it is... Whenever i say my silent prayer, whenever i see the full moon, i feel safe. More than that.. Accepted... Safe" the Knight believed in these words. They were true. Once, she was skeptical too. Once, she believe in nothing but herself. Raven's Claw however changed her mind. Changed for the better...

"Can you..." the Princess tried to say, but was unable to continue. It felt really strange to ask someone to teach her how to pray. It was indeed, very, very strange. Especially in the situation like this.

"Show you ?" the Knight knew what her Princess wanted.. She was like her ages ago...

"Yes..." the Princess replied silently, her eyes met her lover's ones. They both smiled..

"I'll be very happy to do so..." the Knight answered calmly, touching her lover's face gently. The Princess enjoyed this moment far too much for her own good...

"You do realize that if you're wrong, we might both end up in hell ?" the Princess believed once. As a child. However, her time in that damn cage made her realize that it was foolish. The Knight smiled gently, staring directly into those deep, blue eyes she loved so much.

"We already are in hell, Alex.. Look around you... With people like Percy alive, with people like Daniel dead, you start to question everything you were meant to believe.." the Knight said, slowly embracing her young lover. Daniel was still in her heart, that was the sad true. However, Alex did her best to make her forget.

"Why are you smiling then ?" the Princess asked with a smile, kissing her Mentor very slowly, savoring every flavor, every scent.

"Because you're the only good thing left for me in the world..." the Knight asked, pure and perfect love was evident in her voice. In her eyes as well..

"I love you too..." the Princess kissed her more hungrily, her hands roamed through her whole body.

After some time, the couple silently walked to the door, wanting to finish what their heated kisses began. However, the Knight felt the need something..

"Alex ?" the Princess turned to face her Mentor, her gaze full of confusion.

"Yeah ?" she raised an eyebrow, touching her neck. The Knight simply shook her head, slowly walking to the door.

"You weren't alone... At night, you're never alone.." the Knight went inside, and the Princess realized...

"Yeah...I guess you're right.." she smiled to herself, following her Mentor's steps..

The Princess secretly knew that her Sensei was right. She always felt somehow safe at nights. Protected. Even with men hauling above her... The Princess simply closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to end. She could always look at the sky afterwards, and the eternal giant was always by her side.

Always silently comforting her.. Always the one who heard her cries of pain and anger..Yes, her Knight might be right.. She was never entirely alone.
