Thanks for the reviews!!! You are all great!!

"You?"
****************************************
He couldn't believe it- it was really her. The girl that had saved him.
She was even more beautiful than he had imagined after only having
seen her eyes that other night.
To him she looked like an angel with her long golden hair and those
big innocent eyes.
Serenity was just as mesmerized by him.
She wondered how he could look even more handsome by daylight
than he had at night.
Serenity hadn't even noticed that Endymion was still holding her
hand.
They were cruelly pulled out of their dream like state when they
heard somebody loudly cough to gain their attention.. it was old
general Malachite who had watched the scene before him intently.
So this is the girl he was talking about? There seems to be
something special about her.. he thought.
Endymion immediately let go of the Princess' hand and blushed
slightly at having been caught staring at the girl intently.
There were more important matters to thank of than beautiful girls.
Their plan was to capture the Princess and force the cruel king to give
up, if he ever wanted to see his child again.
Of course they didn't plan to kill her, since they wouldn't be any
better than Alexander then.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, my king but we need to act quickly before
Alexander finds out that we kidnapped his daughter." Malachite
stated.
Endymion looked at him for a second before turning back to his angel,
whose features had become one of dread.
He smiled reassuringly at her before he looked over at the girl he
thought was the Princess- Rei.
"So... you are Princess Serenity?" he asked.
"Yes, I am." she answered proudly.
Just as the young King started to speak again he was interrupted by
the beautiful blonde
"What will happen to us now?"
Endymion's gaze wandered to her sky blue orbs again.
"Nothing's going to happen to you." he assured her softly before
turning steel blue eyes on Rei and adding
disgustedly "and also her."
Serenity cringed inwardly at hearing him talk so coldly about the
Princess-her,
He must really hate me.. if he knew I'm the real Princess,
everything would be over- he
would hate me even more- but I don't want anything to happen to
innocent people....- Oh Rei
why did you make me promise to not tell anybody who I am?she
thought sadly.
"By the way... what's your name?" were the words that brought her
out of her thoughts.
It was Endymion who had asked. "All I got last time was Se.."
Think Serenity, think... she was panicking but was saved by Rei's
words:
"Her name's Serena, she's my personal maid."
Endymion once again turned to the false princess and this time his
look wasn't as hard as last time.
"Serena.... that's a beautiful name." he whispered.
and it sounds even better from your mouth.. Serenity thought as
she melted into a puddle.
She looked up at him and blushed under his intense gaze.
But their intimate moment was broken by a loud noise of fanfares.
Endymion looked around for any signs from the enemy but couldn't
make out any yet.
He ordered two of his men to gag the princess, so she wouldn't
scream for help and to put her on a horse.
He then turned around and ascended his black horse.
He offered the girl of his dream his hand to help her up, which she
gladly took.
After everyone was on their horses again they fled from the battlefield
and returned to their secret hideout in the woods.
Rei and Serenity were brought into a tent which was guarded by
three soldiers to ensure the princess couldn't flee.
Once they were alone Serenity kneeled by Rei, tears running down
her cheeks.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Rei! We should tell them the truth so you won't be
in danger anymore." she pleaded.
Rei just smiled at her and wiped the Princess' tears away "It's okay
Serenity, don't worry. King Endymion told us that nothing would
happen to the Princess - he wouldn't break his word. He is a man of
honor. -And- I believe there is something between the two of you...."
she smirked while the Princess blushed furiously.
"Remember you promised me you won't tell anybody who you really
are. Maybe if you get to know the King better and he learns more
about you his opinion about your true self will change..."
"I promise I'll try, but don't get yourself into any kind of trouble,
okay?"
"I promise."
Serenity grinned widely and hugged her best friend fiercely.
Just then a soldier entered the tent and looked at Serenity-the girl he
believed to be the maid-
"The King wants to see you. I shall escort you to his tent."
Serenity looked first at Rei to see if it was okay if she left her now but
she only smiled reassuringly at her.
She was brought to the last tent close to the edge of the wood.
The guard gestured for her to enter.
She did as she was asked and when she went into it she found it was
empty.
Shyly she looked around to find any trace of her charming Prince.
Without any warning she was suddenly swung around and pressed
against the hard and tall frame of a man and her lips were claimed by
his own.
At first Serenity tried to fight the stranger when she suddenly
recognized the familiar feeling of Endymion's kiss.
This time the kiss was even better than their first one.
It started slowly and gently, Endymion planting soft butterfly kisses
on her sweet lips before passion rose inside of them and their kiss
became more heated and desperate.
He explored her mouth hungrily and she answered with the same
eagerness.
When they finally broke the kiss because of lack of air they looked
into each other's eyes lovingly.
Serenity was still too overwhelmed by all the feelings their kiss had
stirred to think clearly.
only the soft touch of Endymion's hand stroking her cheek brought
her back to reality.
She looked up into his deep blue eyes just to see him staring back at
her intently.
She noticed that he was as out of breath as herself .
Briefly she wondered if this was what love felt like, being swept away
by a simple kiss or the soft touch of a warm hand...
But before she could think more about it his lips had claimed hers
once again hungrily.. and she welcomed it.
That night she stayed with the young King in his tent, simply lying in
his arms until the sun rose.
When Serenity woke up she found Endymion lying beside her resting
his chin on one arm staring at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked smiling.
"I'm just wondering how one woman can be as beautiful as you are."
he answered sincerely with a soft smile on his face which widened
when he saw her blushing at his words.
He didn't know what had happened to him- he had never been that
happy in his life- especially after his parents' death.
Serena brought out a side of him which he thought had vanished a
long time ago.
She made him smile, made him want to live again.... made him
believe again... believe in love.. believe there was somewhere a home
for everyone- even for him..
Wherever she was he was home.
It was a strange feeling to him and he wondered how she had
succeeded in claiming his heart so quickly.
Endymion knew he never wanted to be without her again, wanted to
know she was his and she would always be there.
"What are you thinking about?" a sweet voice interrupted him.
"Hm??.. Nothing, really." was the answer. She looked at him
skeptically, not really believing him.
"Okay, okay. you won...I thought about how much I love you,
Serena.." he whispered reaching out a hand to gently put a golden
curl that hung into her face behind her ear.
For the second time that morning Serenity had to blush.
He loved her?- that thought on the one hand made her extremely
happy while on the other hand very sad... he didn't love her... he
loved Serena, the maid- not Serenity, the Princess of Euphrania.
She looked at him with a small sad smile "How do you know you love
me? We have just met and you know nothing about me.." she choked
out, tears threatening to fall.
She turned her head down, so he wouldn't see but he took her chin
into his hand and made her look at him once more.
He looked deep into those sky- blue orbs and gave her an answer that
came right from his heart;
"I might not know you for long, but I know you are a wonderful and
warm- hearted person who loves life and wouldn't let a complete
stranger die.. a girl that dared to fight against the evil and let her
heart guide her... which finally leaded her back to me by a miracle...
a girl who kissed me back last night with as much love as I gave her..
I could feel it and I know deep down in my heart that I love you..... I
love you"
Tears were running down her face after hearing his wonderful
confession; there was only one thing she could do..
she flung her arms around his neck and kissed him feverishly.
At first he was surprised but soon answered with as much passion as
he was given.
After they had pulled apart again Serenity was still holding onto
Endymion softly whispering the words Endymion so longed to hear
into his ear; "I love you."
*******************************************************
"What??? How could this happen? Why did I sent my best men with
my precious child when you weren't even capable of defeating some
lousy rebels?" King Alexander roared.
The soldier standing in front of him was scared to no ends. He
believed he wouldn't even be able to walk away if he was ordered to
at the moment.
He was the only man who could get into safety in time before his
companions where killed by the rebels- he had been chosen to bring
the news to their king.
At that moment he wasn't so happy about that as he had been a day
before.
The king glared at the poor man threateningly.
For a moment he had played with the thought of executing the
guard, but decided it wouldn't bring him back his child.
His only comfort was the fact that the rebels wouldn't know who the
real Princess was...
he only hoped and prayed that his little girl was save.
He wouldn't tell his wife about what happened though... it would do
no good if the queen worried to much.
What bothered the King most was, that they couldn't do anything at
the moment.. not as long as they had Serenity.
He had to wait until he got a message from the rebels telling him
what they wanted....hadn't he?
A cruel thought came to his mind and an evil smile formed on his lips.
He wouldn't let them get away that easily.
Alexander then gathered his troops in front of the palace and they
made their way towards Aurora-- where only woman and children
lived poorly on farms......
*****************************************************
"Here; I want you to bring this to King Alexander immediately. Don't
worry they won't harm you as long as we have their beloved
Princess." Endymion ordered one of his messengers before dismissing
him.
After he was alone again he slumped into his chair..
What had he done? He had kidnapped the Princess to black mail
Alexander- he had killed men who only did what they were told.
He should have tried to talk to them first or capture them.. he didn't
know.. anything but kill them.
He didn't want to be the kind of king who killed to get what he
wanted.
Endymion thought when he had Serenity the king would give in and
would give his country freedom again, but he started to doubt it..
something inside of him gave him a very bad feeling.. something was
about to happen...
A soft laugh brought him out of his dark thoughts again and he stood
up to look outside where the sound had come from.
When he opened the tent the sight of a horse intently licking Serena's
face greeted him.
She tried to stop the horse from tickling her by luring him away with
a carrot.. but it seemed it liked Serena's taste much better.
The young girl was startled when she heard a soft chuckle behind her.
She slowly turned around to see Endymion standing in the entrance
of his tent, finding the whole scene very amusing.
"And what are you laughing at?" she asked with mocked anger.
"You." he answered simply before taking her gently into his arms.
He leaned in to kiss her, but just a moment before their lips met a
breathless messenger and his horse entered the hideout.
Endymion reluctantly let go of his angel and ran towards the
exhausted man to help him.
He tried to convince him to lie down and rest but the young man only
shook his head wildly.
"My king- I have horrible news for you!" he choked out , "King
Alexander.. he attacked the farmers of Aurora.. he killed hundreds of
innocent children and women.. it was horrible.. I could get away in
the last second, so I could tell you... Oh my god!!.. I couldn't do
anything to help them." he broke down in tears.
Endymion's eyes had turned into a dark steel blue and the muscles in
his shoulders and arms had tightened noticeably.
He was filled with intense hatred and also shock.
He had never thought Alexander would go that far..
Something had do be done... quickly.. they had to act now .
Endymion now saw that it was necessary to get rid of Alexander once
and for all- not only to save his people from his cruelty but all other
neighbor countries as well...
Serenity who had heard every word was too shocked to move.
She couldn't believe her father had done that.. had killed innocent
children and women...
She had also seen Endymion's reaction and was afraid of what would
happen next......
To be continued.....
I promise the next chapter will be out soon(and it will be longer!!).
I wanted to post that chapter on Tuesday but couldn't access
