Ch.4
Endymion was preparing his sword for the dual. He was prepared to kill Gavin in
a heartbeat for the pain he had caused his only child. Gavin was shakily preparing for the
battle. He knew if he didn't kill Endymion, Endymion would kill him. They were
prepared to fight in less than ten minutes. They began to battle. Gavin soon gained the
upper hand after slicing Endymion's right hand(AN: this is now his fighting hand, i don't
really care at this point if it really is or not, k?). HE began to aim for Endymion's weak
spot. At another point he caught Endymion's shouldar and sliced down to the bone.
Endymion yelled out in pain. He fell on one knee due to the pain. Gavin decided to take
this oppurnity(SP?) to finish off Endymion. Endymion had stood up by then but was
holding his shouldar. Gavin lunged towards but Endymion managed to block him with
his sword. He continued fighting, but still very injured. They continued to fight each of
them sharing the upper hand at points, even though Gavin had most of them. It was still a
50/50 chance of Endymion winning. Serenity and Selenity both hoped Endymion would
win. He always had before.

At one point the tides had been completely turned and the chances of Endymion
making a comeback were very slight. His fate looked sealed. At one point Endymion had
been knocked around and onto his knees to where his back was to Gavin. Gavin took this
oppurenity to go for him again. He lunged at him once again.

Just before his sword got on him Selenity jumped in front of Endymion hoping to
stop the sword and had grabbed the blade with her hand. Her hands did not stop the
sword. Instead of Gavin's sword going threw Endymion, it went threw Selenity's
stommach, at an angle. He tried to pull the sword out but accidently pulled it up, ripping
threw her insides and tearing apart her lungs. Gavin let go of his sword and backed away.
Selenity dropped to the ground. Endymion and Serenity both went to her side. She was
breathing in erratic gasps.

"Endymion... Chibi-Usa... I love you." She screamed in pain because Endymion
had touched her side. She looked up and Endymion and and Serenity.

"Do me a favor. I love you both and I won't survive this. Not even with my
magic. Please kill me. Don't let me hurt like this. God, Endymion, stop this pain before it
worsens." He looked down at her. He didn't want to do it but he knew that she would not
survive, no matter what they did for her. He pulled his dagger out of his boot. He looked
down at her and raised the dagger above her heart.

"My darling, I love you so much. I will meet you in the next lifetime. Wait for
me. I will surely find you" he said as he brought down the dagger on Selenity. She let out
a soft sigh and her head rolled to the side. Serenity looked up at Endymion with tears in
her eyes. Wordlessly she stood up and walked out of the room. Endymion stood up and
looked at Gavin. He was in total shock. Endymion walked towards him silently, sword in
hand.

"Gavin, you beat my daughter and killed my wife. I will not let this go
unpunished." Gavin had not moved since he had backed into that spot. Endymion raised
his sword and cut Gavin's head off. His head rolled to the side, slightly under the bed.
Endymion looked at his headless body than at Selenity, than back at Gavin. His pain was
too much. His deepest love had been killed. And he helped. He helped kill his only love.
He would never recover. There was only one thing he could do. Join his love in the
afterrealm. He walked over and picked up the dagger he used to put Selenity at rest. He
Sat down by her and just shoved the dagger into his chest, ending his own life. His body
fell next to hers.

It was an hour later before Serenity came back into the room. She saw the dead
bodies laying there and finally took it in. Her beautiful graceful mother having been
gutted by her husband than finished off by her father. Her fathers body lying next to her
mothers. He finished himself off. Out of guilt. To be with his love. He once swore that
when she died he would follow soon after so they would never be seperated. Always a
hopeless romantic. A couple that was truely star-crossed lovers. A modern day Romeo
and Juliet. Then she looked to her husband. Decapitated. The head partialy under the bed.
She had few kind words for him. She had loved him, but her hurt her badly. Diana
thought she knew everything that had happened. She didn't know about the burn marks
she hid. The rope burn in odd places. The man was a devil-incarnete. Married her for her
money, and hurt her for his own pleasure. She couldn't really say she was sorry he was
dead. She turned and walked out onto the balcony.

While she stood out there she climbed onto the railing and looked down. She had
complete clarity up there. She realized everything that had happened. She looked down at
the Moon Kingdom. Just beggining to rise. So sad. The sun was coming up. She
remembered once again talking to Galaxia at one point. She had asked Galaxia why she
had turned. Galaxia had asked her if she had ever jumped just to see what it felt like to
fall. She said no. Galaxia told her to come back when she had and ask her then. Serenity
decided that it was that time. To jump. See what it feels like to fall. She jumped off the
balcony. She felt like she was flying. She had relaxed completely on the way down. she
enjoyed the feeling and never wanted it to stop. It stopped after a matter of seconds. She
hit the pavement hard. She never knew though. All she saw was the beautiful fireworks.
All the beautiful red foreworks.

The End
