Serena walked out of the classroom as Molly followed behind her and then quickly latched onto her arm asking "so what was all that about during science class today?"
Serena turned to look at her friend questioning "what do you mean?"
Molly looked to her as though she had two heads saying "well Mr. Gregory was taken back by your response to his question. I honestly don't think he even knew what to say"
Serena looked to her remembering the face he made and with a shake of her head saying "I don't see what was wrong with it"
Molly nodded her head agreeing while telling her "there was nothing wrong with it that was part of the problem. It was actually well thought out and insightful, not like something you would usually say at all"
Serena looked to her friend hearing her rude response and shook her head asking coldly "what is that supposed to mean?"
Molly looked to her seeing how upset her friend was and backed off a little telling her "it wasn't supposed to mean anything Serena. I just meant that lately you haven't been acting yourself and saying things that don't sound like you. Are you sure you are feeling alright?"
Serena looked to her puzzled as she asked "what do you mean don't sound like me? Who do you think I sound like?"
Molly looked to her with a shrug of her shoulder telling her "I don't know it's strange, almost as though someone else was speaking for you"
Serena looked to her feeling unsure if Molly knew more then she was letting on questioning "someone else?"
Molly looked to her and then let out a nervous laugh telling her "I know it sounds ridiculous"
Serena looked to her and nodded her head agreeing telling her "yeah it sounds kind of crazy" but to her it sounded highly probable
Molly looked to her seeing how serious Serena seemed and decided to change to a safer more relaxing topic she asked "so what do you plan on wearing tonight?"
Serena looked back at her hearing Molly's innocent question which she had not given much thought to herself she asked "wearing?" and then gave Molly a knowing look asking her back "I thought that you didn't agree with this date tonight"
Molly shrugged her shoulders telling her "yeah well I don't, but as your best friend if you are seriously going to do this then I will make sure you at least have a proper outfit picked out to where"
Serena looked to her friend with a little smile knowing Molly always had her back and then shook her head telling her "I really hadn't given much thought to what I'm wearing. I just figured since we were going to be in a movie it would be dark"
Molly nodded her head telling her "yes, but you are still going to see each other before the movie starts to get popcorn and after so you can talk about the movie aren't you"
Serena let out a little sigh telling her "I guess so, I didn't really think about that"
Molly looked to her with a friendly smile telling her "that is what friends are for"
Serena nodded her head pleased telling her "yeah I suppose I could try to look nice, maybe get something out of my closet that I haven't worn a bunch of times already"
Molly looked to her surprised by her response or lack thereof after hearing how she defended Jonathan to her that Serena didn't' sound more excited about her date tonight asking her "Serena are you sure you want to be going on this date with him"
Serena continued walking down the hall of her school with Molly and nodded her head telling her "yes I could use to do something normal for a change"
Molly looked to her curiously by her response asking "normal? Are you sure you are feeling alright?"
Serena nodded her head knowing she had spoken out of place and tried to act as casual as possible telling her "yeah fine, and you know your right I do want to look nice tonight. Why don't you come over after school and help me pick something out to wear that Jonathan would like"
Molly shook her head telling her "I have a better idea, we haven't been to the mall together in a while, and you're not meeting him until later right, so let's go shopping and look for a new outfit"
Serena looked to her questioning if she wanted to spend her allowance on a new outfit she may only wear once and told her "buying a whole new outfit. I don't know Molly"
Molly nodded her head telling her seriously "if you really are serious about this guy, you never know when your last first date will be, might as well look your best"
Serena shrugged her shoulders unable to dispute her point she nodded her head telling her "alright why don't we just leave now and grab a frozen yogurt on the way"
Molly nodded her head hearing her friend speaking of food again which was much more of a Serena thing to say telling her "let's do it"
Serena put her books back in her locker and grabbed her bag out and together with Molly they left the school grounds
Serena tried on dozens of different outfits, but each one either made her look too fat, or too stubby, or too short, or just plain wrong as Molly came over to the dressing room holding one more and called out to her "I have one more for you to try on"
Serena opened the curtain and stuck her arm out to the side while Molly put the dress over her arm. Serena closed the curtain back up and looked over the dress that Molly handed her commenting "I don't know about this one Molly it doesn't really look like my style"
Molly stood by the curtain and shook her head telling her "I know that's it's not your usual style, that's why you should try it, go on"
Serena looked to the dress once more and then shrugged her shoulders telling her "alright but I am really not sure about this" as she held the black dress in her hands
Molly stood outside the dressing room hearing Serena moving around inside with the dress and then stopped, Molly waited a moment for the curtain to open and then asked her "well how does it look?"
Serena slid open the curtain slowly and stepped out as Molly looked to her seeing her in the tight fitting Black dress with four thick straps going up to a black collar around her neck all covered in rhinestones as she looked to her shaking her head telling her "you look amazing"
Serena turned and looked at herself in a mirror across from the dressing rooms, she did look really good in the dress, it definitely enhanced all of her curves at the right places, but she shook her head telling her "I do like it, but I don't think it is right for a movie"
Molly looked to her seeing she was right, the dress was more suitable for a dance club and nodded her head telling her "alright we'll keep looking, but Serena you have to buy that dress"
Serena looked at herself in the mirror as she wished silently she was able to show her real self to Endymion just once and shook her head telling Molly "why I have nowhere to wear it too?"
Molly turned to look at her with a smile telling her "you look hot in it what other reason do you need?"
Serena smiled looking at herself in the mirror, she did look like she could grab any guys' attention with it on and nodded her head telling her "I do like how it feels on"
Molly smiled seeing Serena standing in front of the mirror looking at herself in the dress she told her "then it's settled you have to get it"
Serena looked at the dress once more as she watched seeing how it enhanced her hips when she moved and silently wondered what a dark haired prince would think of seeing her in this dress as she smiled saying "well this is definitely not the type of dress a princess would be wearing"
Molly looked to her curious at her choice of words she questioned "princess? Why would you say that?"
Serena looked to her shaking her head with a small nervous laugh telling her "it's nothing, I just meant the way my father sees me. You know always his little princess"
Molly nodded her head agreeing telling her "yeah I get it, my father acts that way too sometimes"
Serena let out a deep breath glad she was able to quickly deflect so easily telling her "let me go back and change into my regular clothes"
Molly nodded her head telling her "alright, but make it quick we still have a few more stores to hit" as Serena walked back into the dressing room to change.
They walked down the mall slowly strolling together as Molly told her about a funny incident in class today stating "so then Alex walked over and realized that his pants were on backwards" as she started to laugh, but realized there was no one laughing with her and looked over to see Serena looking in a store window.
She walked over looking in the same window, but not seeing anything special asking her "did you hear what I just said he was wearing his pants on backwards?"
Serena continued to stare in the store window at a big sign in the front reading: Now is your time to find your own serenity?
Molly watched seeing the intense look on her friends face as she looked up at the sign and told her "you know Serena we have been best friends for a really long time"
Serena nodded her head as she responded back telling her "of course"
Molly took a deep breath and told her "and you can tell me anything, if something is bothering you"
Serena had a feeling she knew where this was headed to the same place everyone else did, thinking she is crazy and maybe partially she was and told her with a little sigh "I know Molly"
She waited a moment waiting for the comment she knew would come and heard Molly telling her "you have been acting strangely the past few days. Is there anything going on that you want to tell me?"
Serena sighed knowing what she was really asking have you gone mad, she wished she could tell Molly everything make her understand, but knew if she did she would just be judged and thought crazy just like her parents already think she is and shook her head saying "no Molly everything is good"
Molly nodded her head feeling as though Serena was holding back some big secret she didn't want her to know telling her "alright if you say so"
Serena could tell there was some tension between them now. She hated keeping such a big secret from her bff, but how could she tell her about all if it as they walked into another store
Molly walked over to a table that had sweaters folded and picked up a green one telling her "look at this sweater isn't it cute. I think it would look great on me and maybe this light blue one for you"
Serena walked over to take a look and then stopped starting to feel a little dizzy and covered her eyes to stop the spinning.
Molly turned around to Serena not hearing her response back about the sweater and looked to see Serena standing behind her with both her hands up to her head looking seriously distressed.
Molly looked to her friend concerned as she called out worried "hey what's wrong you're looking pale are you alright?"
Serena took a few deep breaths feeling a throbbing in her head hoping that the pain would soon just pass, but it only seemed to get worse as she heard Molly calling out "Serena are you alright? Hey Serena what's going on?"
She felt the room spinning out of control and then it stopped as she felt a sudden pull forward as she heard him calling out for her "keep running Serenity, don't stop"
She was shaken from her thoughts as she saw Endymion standing in front of her looking like a fierce warrior telling her "there is no time to stop, come along hurry"
She looked at him seeing he now was covered in dirt and dried up blood and she wondered whose blood it was as he held his sword strongly in one hand and held her hand tightly in his other as she raced to try to keep up with him.
A man she did not recognize with long blonde hair appeared suddenly in front of them holding a large knife in his hand as they stopped short and Endymion held up his sword higher.
The man stepped forward keeping his eyes focused on her and shook his head telling him "just step away from the princess Endymion and we will go easy on you"
Serena looked up at the strange man having no doubt that they spoke of her as Endymion stepped out in front of her and shook his head telling him "not today or any other Zoi" as he blocked the man's sudden attack and then fought him for control of his weapon
Serena quickly crouched down to the side watching them fight over her, feeling like her heart was beating out of her chest. She covered her eyes unable to watch anymore wanting to just go home to her own time without all these battles and then heard his voice in front of her as he reached his hand down and grabbed her arm telling her "come this way quickly"
She uncovered her eyes to see Endymion standing there still in one peace and breathed a sigh of relief as she gave him her hand and followed him down through a path of death and destruction.
They came to an opening of wide open land and she knew where she was at once and stopped running as she came face to face with the white kingdom castle, that was now only left in ruins.
She looked at it remembering the opulence and beauty the castle once held and shook her head at how much destruction came to be as Endymion turned back looking to her asking "Serenity what are you doing? We are not safe here, we must keep going forward come on"
She nodded her head hearing his words and knowing for whatever reason she was now a target as she grabbed up her skirt and kept running forward behind him as she tripped and fell on the lace that hung low from the bottom of her gown that was now torn to shreds and landed down on her knees onto the ground as she reached out calling for him "Endymion"
He turned around quickly to see she was not right behind him as he went back and took hold of her hands helping her up to her feet he told her "Serenity we need to put as much distance from this place as we can. I need you to run, run as fast as you can. Can you do that for me?"
She didn't know what evil it was that was chasing after her, but whatever it was it couldn't be good. She felt herself running out of breath knowing she was out of shape and silently wished she had tried harder in gym class as she looked up seeing the serious look on his face knowing he would protect her or rather Serenity no matter what and nodded her head telling him "I think so"
They ran down what looked like an old hollowed out service entrance that used to belong to the castle as Endymion stopped and crouched down feeling the ground beneath them not feeling any motion and then pulled her down next to him as he took a deep breath and told her "I think we will be safe here at least for a short time, catch your breath"
She nodded her head as she took a few deep breaths of her own and looked at the small bunker they hid in asking "do you think they will find us here?"
He looked to her and nodded his head telling her "probably we are alright here for a few minutes, but we cannot stay here long there will be patrols coming by"
She nodded her head feeling a fear inside of her she never knew before as he reached out and took her arm and quickly rolled her sleeve up telling her "let me take a look at that"
She looked down seeing for the first time she had a nasty cut on her arm and had no idea where or when it had come from, but was pretty sure how it had something to do with the man back there.
Endymion looked down to the cut and then up to her with a small smile telling her calmly "it looks worse than it actually is, it's not that deep"
She nodded her head hearing what she supposed was good news as she watched him quickly grab a piece off the sleeve of his shirt and wrapped it around the cut on her arm as he looked to her saying "this will hold for now until we can get elsewhere, but we cannot stay here for long, just so we can catch our breaths and then we must continue forward"
Serena nodded her head wanting to ask him move forward towards where, but she felt like that would be an idiotic thing to ask seeing how most of this place was new to her and then she stopped hearing footsteps nearby
Endymion put his arms around her protectively holding her close to him while his hand reached down for his sword he whispered to her "be silent"
She kept her mouth tightly closed afraid to breathe, but her heart beat was pounding by the second as they waited for what felt like an eternity, but was probably only a few minutes and then finally he told her through a whisper "I think they have gone"
She nodded her head feeling to frightened to speak at the moment while watching him stand up from the ground and looked out surveying the area, then put out his hand telling her "we need to keep moving do you feel strong enough to continue"
She nodded her head and slowly got up to her feet, feeling how weak she felt in the knees while he took her hand in his own telling her "let's go then"
She looked to him shaking her head knowing if she was to die here, she at least wanted him to know the truth just once telling him "wait"
He looked back at her shaking his head knowing there was no time to waste others would be returning soon asking "what is it?"
She took a deep breath and reached out putting both her hands up to his face and kissed him as he looked back at her surprised she told him "in case we don't make it out of this alive. I needed to do that at least once"
He looked to her blinking his eyes in surprise as he questioned "Serena?"
She nodded her head with a small smile seeing the startled look on his face she told him "I've been wanting to do that for a long time now"
He looked to her and the surprised look went away and in its place was a pleasant smile that graced his face saying back "well now is your chance" as he reached out putting his hands on both sides of her face and brought her lips closer to his own, he kissed her back sharply.
She had been kissed before, but no other kiss ever felt the way this one did as he put his hand behind her head holding her close to him as he deepened the kiss.
She molded her lips up against his while taking in his manly scent and feeling his warm strength as he wrapped his free arm around her keeping her safe and protected as he slowly pulled away, breaking there kiss leaving her wanting more to come as he took her hand in his telling her "come now it's not safe for you here, we must keep moving"
She nodded her head as he took her hand in his and they slowly walked down the passageway, she looked around remembering where she was with Endymion and what was happening having death following them as he took both her hands in his and placed a small kiss down on them telling her "wait here I will go out and make sure the coast is clear and then we will try to head south"
She nodded her head listening to his plan as she put all her trust in him and watched him slowly step out to above ground taking a small lead as he turned back and told her "I will be back shortly. I am going to go scout out see how many patrols are nearby, stay here and stay hidden until I return"
She nodded her head as she watched until he was out of sight and then crutched down feeling her whole body shaking and waited counting down the seconds until he returned when she heard a loud explosion she called out "Endymion"
She felt someone stirring her shoulder as she turned to the side and suddenly pulled away not sure who it was who found her and then looked up to see Molly sitting next to her on the floor with a worried expression on her face asking her "are you alright?"
She looked around taking in her surroundings seeing she was no longer hidden, but back in the store again and took a relieved breath she nodded her head telling her "yeah, I'm fine just a little dizzy spell"
Molly nodded her head expecting it was more than just a dizzy spell telling her "maybe we should get you home"
Serena started to stand up from the floor trying to act like everything was normal and shook her head telling her "no really I didn't have much to eat this morning. I could probably use something in my stomach. I'm sure it will help"
Molly nodded her head accepting her answer as she took her arm helping Serena up to her feet telling her "alright let's go over to the food court then"
Serena nodded her head glad to hear Molly was not making a big deal out of this when Molly looked to her curiously asking "who's Endymion?"
Serena stopped walking hearing Molly say that name and looked to her asking "what? Why would you ask that?"
Molly looked to her knowing there was more than just a dizzy spell going on telling her "you called out his name just before you woke up"
Serena took a deep breath unsure what happened to Endymion with the explosion she heard, if he was alright and looked over to Molly shaking her head she responded "I have no idea"
Molly nodded her head knowing whomever this man is, he was part of some deep secret Serena's holding onto that she wasn't allowed to be a part of and told her "probably just part of some crazy dream you were having right"
Serena smiled glad she wasn't asking more about him, because it would be that much harder to explain she told her "yeah I'm sure that's all it was"
Molly nodded her head and picked up the green sweater she planned on buying telling her "let's head down to the food court then"
Serena agreed and picked up her shopping bag from the floor as she stopped and looked down at her arm and froze seeing the bandage he made out of his shirt sleeve tied around her arm she questioned how was it at all possible.
