Wedding Crashers
Chapter Twenty-Six
Celestyna tried to calm the beating of her heart as she slowed her pace down the stairs. Closing her eyes she stopped and took a breath. "Princess?" She heard a soft male voice question and her eyes flew open to stare down into Taiki's concerned brown eyes staring up at her from the bottom of the stair well.
Plastering a smile on her face Celestyna continued down the stairs. "Sorry about that Taiki, I must have gotten winded climbing the stairs a few minutes ago. It's passed now." She gave him a small pat on the arm to reassure him as she stepped past him and into the foyer of Serena's house. Glancing in the living room she saw Seiya standing beside Serena while Darien stood at one of the windows staring out at the night.
"What I don't get..." Celestyna heard Haruka begin as she walked into the room. "Is why the light turned you and Artemis into humans Luna. Why would Sol do that?"
Shrugging her shoulders Luna shook her head. "I'm not sure but I don't believe that Sol intended for us to become human. I think a higher power interviened."
At that same revelation a puzzled look came to everyone's faces. Sitting up straighter on the couch Serena leaned toward Luna and studied the older woman's features. "Who out there is more powerful than Sol?"
Turning her gaze towards Serena, Luna's eyes seemed to soften as she replied, "Well your mother ofcourse."
A gasp resounded throughout the room as everyone took in Luna's words.
"How is that possible Luna? Serena's mother is dead." The disbelief in Rei's voice was evident to all in the room.
Shrugging Luna fixed her with a steady gaze as she replied in an even tone, "Some powers are strong enough to withstand the test of time and even death."
End of excerpt from chapter Twenty-Six.. this is just a teaser and to let you all know that I'm still out here just suffering from being over worked and stressed out. My mother just recently moved in w/ me and my family. After a month we're still 'adjusting'. That and we've now gone through two new girls in the past couple of months at work. (grumble)
