************************
.....She had also seen Endymion's reaction and was afraid of what would happen next......
chapter 5
Endymion stood up and offered the exhausted messenger some food a place to
rest, then went into his own tent.
Serenity was still rooted to the spot while her mind was reeling. She couldn't
understand why her father had done such a cruel thing.. she never had thought
he would be that heartless.. and at that moment all she felt for her father was
..hatred..
She knew it was not right to despise her own father like that but what he done
was unforgivable.
The young Princess had watched Endymion walk back into his tent but didn't dare
to interrupt him. She only peeked carefully in to see him leaning against his desk
fingers gripping the wood so tightly his knuckles where white. She could see the
tenseness in his muscles and decided it would be better to just leave him alone for
the moment.
To see him like this.. the man she loved.. made her heart ache and wish she could
take away some of his pain.
She slowly made her way to a tent guarded by two soldiers. She smiled at them
politely and they let her in to see their prisoner.
As she entered the tent she found her best friend already asleep.
Serenity carefully knelt down by the bed and carefully stoked some hair out of
Rei's face and put it behind her ear.
To know she had a friend like Rei who so willingly was risking her own life for that
of her best friend warmed her heart.
Any other servant would have told the rebels about the princess' real identity but
not a true friend.. a true friend who knew you where in love with the only person
you where not allowed to share such a strong emotion.
Serenity sighed heavily trying to figure out how it should go on. She definitely
didn't want to go back home where she had to get married to some stuck up
Prince who was only after her power and would be her father's puppet.. staying
with Endymion was what she wanted, but could she live with a lie? She really
didn't want to loose him but she feared if he ever found out he would never want
to see her again.
Rei had felt something wet falling onto her arm and she immediately woke up to
see Serenity sitting at her bedside crying.
To Rei it seemed the Princess was deep in thought for she didn't even seem to
notice the tears that where slowly trickling down her face.
"Why are you crying?" she asked softly.
Serenity looked up startled only to stare into deep purple eyes that seemed to be
very worried-that's when she first noticed the tears that had slowly made their
way down her cheeks and were now wetting the white sheets of the bed.
"I don't know.."
"What's wrong with you girl?" the dark haired girl inquired gently.
"My father.. he.. he.. just killed innocent women and children! When Endymion
ever finds out who I really am he'll hate me!" Serenity sobbed as the other girl
took her into her arms like a mother would.
"shh.. everything will be alright.. he loves you.. he will understand.. he knows
who you really are.. don't worry.. everything will be alright.."
Serenity looked up at Rei's soothing words and a little smile made was tugging at
her lips as she asked "You promise?"
"Yes, I promise.- Now where's your precious rebel?"
"Last time I saw him he was in his tent."
"Then you better go and look if he's alright.. and maybe you should talk..?" she
suggested.
Serenity just nodded and after hugging her friend tightly left the tent and headed
for Endymions.
When she arrived there she shyly peeked into the tent just to find it empty.
Confused she looked around to camp but couldn't find him anywhere.
Defeated she decided to go to sleep when she saw something glittering at the
lake.
Trying to be as quiet as possible she tiptoed toward the lake.
What she found there made her heart almost stop..
She knew that picture would be forever embedded in her mind..
There on a rock by the lake Endymion sat staring at the dark blue water..
his features where illuminated by the full Moon which looked quietly and serenely
down on them.
The wind gently played with his dark locks making them sway slightly.
He looked so handsome and calm in the moonlight that Serenity fell in love with
him all over again.
She carefully stepped closer not wishing to disturb him but as she stood right
behind him she could not resist the urge to touch him.
As her fingertips softly brushed against his shoulder he whipped around startled
and looked directly into Serenity's blue eyes.
At first he didn't move then gently stroke his beloved's cheek.
Serenity sighed and snuggled her cheek closer into his warm palm.
As she opened her eyes again she saw something in his eyes that melted her
heart and made her feel immense joy.. love... pure love.
Endymion then offered her his hand and helped her up onto the rock to join him.
Once she was at his side Endymion gently took her in his arms and kissed her
temple.
The two lovers sat their in silence enjoying each other's presence.. forgetting the
rest of the world...
******************************
Serenity found herself in Endymion's bed the next morning." He must have
brought me here after I had fallen asleep last night by the lake" she thought still a
bit sleepy before crawling back under the covers. AS she lay underneath the
covers she smelled the wonderful smell of roses(an-sorry couldn't help it:))-his
smell.. oh how she would love to wake to that smell every morning... at that
thought she blushed and tried to imagine how it would be if they where married..
her wonderful thoughts where interrupted harshly when she heard a loud noise
outside.
Carefully she stood up and went to the tent's entrance. She opened the curtain
just a little to see what was going on.
Outside Endymion's troops were gathering.
The King was nowhere in sight though. She only saw Malachite giving orders she
couldn't understand.
A moment later the soldiers mounted their horses and headed out of the hideout.
Only a few men where left so they would protect their secret camp.
Serenity's eye caught Jadeite talking to one of the soldiers guarding Rei's tent,
obviously giving the man instructions not to let anyone in.
Finally deciding she had to know what was going on she stepped out of the tent
and walked straight towards the young captain.
When Jadeite saw her he dismissed the soldier and walked toward the young
woman meeting her half way.
"Could you please tell me what's going on?" Serenity asked him pleadingly.
At first he just looked at her obviously considering if he should tell her or not he
finally started to speak "Endymion left early this morning to inspect the area
Alexander has destroyed last night and help the survivors... if there are any.." he
sighed heavily before continuing "Just an hour ago we got a message from him to
send the troops.. it seems Alexander is still there.. as if he had been waiting for
Endymion."
Serenity's heart started to race.. her father was still there? He must have known
that Endymion would help his people and had planned to kill him when he did.
But she knew her love was a clever man and would not be captured that easily.
Her only fear was what her father would do to the innocent survivors of last
night's massacre.
All he wants is me.... he does this to get his daughter back she suppressed a
bitter laugh no.. he wants back his heir.. the only one who could inherit the
amulet.. she didn't mean anything to him..
Jadeite looked at her strangely "Are you alright? You haven't said a word in the
last 3 minutes."
"Hm, what? I'm sorry. .I was just thinking... Tell me.. there will be a fight if
Endymion won't hand over the Princess, right?" Serenity asked the tall man
silently.
"I guess so" he started before adding "but we got strict orders from Endymion to
not do it.."
"But then he'll die..." she whispered tears threatening to come..
"Yes, he will... Alexander will have no mercy on him.. he had tried too long to get
him to stop now." Jadeite answered just as quietly.
"If Alexander got back his daughter he would probably not kill him now.." Serenity
inquired, now trying to save her love's life.
"This might work. If Alexander got back his heir he would probably forget about
Endymion at the moment. I have heard he is trying to marry her off at the
moment.. he's looking for someone who will rule at her side and will protect "his"
land.." Jadeite considered " but we got strict instruction not to do anything about
that!" he finished stubbornly.
Serenity who saw no other way out of this and wanted to desperately save
Endymion shouted " Do you want him to be killed?? He is our... your last hope of
freedom.. what will you do without him??"
The young Captain stared at her unbelievingly and admired her compassion.
Once again letting her plan pass before his mind's eye he decided to give it a try.
He found that Serena did have a point.. that they would be hopeless without their
leader.. he was the only one who could show them the way to freedom.
Nodding he strode over to the "Princess' " tent, dismissing the guards.
Serenity came with him and saw Rei looking slightly puzzled at her. She just
mouthed a "I'll tell you later" to her and then helped her friend gather her things.
"You'll be home again soon, Princess" Jadeite stated coldly.
A few minutes later they were on their way out of the hideout.
"Serena" had insisted on joining them and after Jadeite had not succeeded in
convincing her to stay she was now riding at his side.
"Endymion's going to kill me.." he mumbled "not only for disobeying his orders
but also brining you with me.."
Serenity looked at him wide-eyed. He only chuckled telling her that the King had
ordered to keep his love save and away from the battle scene.
All too soon the three arrived at their destination. Jadeite motioned for them to
stop while he tried to get a bit closer.
"What are you thinking you are doing Serenity?" Rei hissed
"Saving the life of the man I love" the golden haired girl answered.
Rei's eyes softened as she understood how much the young King meant to her
Princess..
I just hope everything will be alright in the endshe thought worriedly.
When Jadeite finally came back he seemed to be very worried.
"We have to hurry.. Alexander has already gathered his troops.. there are
thousands of them... we are only 200.. they will all get killed if we don't hurry!!"
"Then let's go!" Serenity shouted as she hurriedly rode towards the battle scene.
Jadeite and Rei where hot on her heels when they arrived just at the moment
Alexander wanted to attack.
"Nooo! Stop it!!" Jadeite screamed.
All eyes turned to him some shocked and some interested. Jadeite cringed as he
saw the angry look on his King's face, but this didn't stop him at that moment.
He rode towards Endymion and whispered his plan into his leader's ear, whose
eyes widened before he looked at his Captain infuriated.
Before Endymion could start to scream at him he whispered "A dead leader is no
use for us.. think of your people.. they need you.. you can't win this battle.. they
are too many!"
For a moment Endymion closed his eyes thinking about his friend's words. Sighing
he opened them and nodded silently, giving in.
"This wasn't my plan, you know... it was hers" Jadeite said moving his head in
Serenity's direction.
The King then smiled and shook his head... that girl..
Endymion made a few step forward as did Alexander.
"Would you leave this place without a battle if we gave you your precious
daughter?" he asked icily.
"Yes, of course, I give you my word."
"I don't give a damn about your word.. it worth nothing.. tell your troops to
retreat now and we have a deal"
Alexander looked at him suspiciously but then considered that it would do no
harm since the amulet protected him.
He gave the troops his order to leave now and after they were out of sight looked
back at Endymion expectantly.
The young King motioned for "Serena" and the Princess to come to his side. When
they had he told Rei to ride towards Alexander.
The girl had a bad feeling about this situation and didn't want to know what would
happen if Endymion found out.
And then it happened...
"This isn't my daughter." Alexander stated and the looked straight at the real
Princess "that's my daughter.. come here Serenity."
The Princess cringed as she saw her beloved stiffen beside her but she told herself
not to worry and that everything would be alright because Endymion loved her..
right?
But when she carefully lifted her eyes to look into her lover's endless deep blue
orbs the only thing she detected there was.. hatred?.. betrayal?
His eyes had become a light shade of blue with a glint of silver as he looked at her
and for the first time since she had met him.. she was afraid.. he seemed do
dangerous and wild.... and hurt..
"You are Princess Serenity?" he hissed.
She only nodded.
"You better go and be with your kind" he snorted disgustedly.. every single word
cut like a knife..
She looked up at him once more and attempted to speak but that hateful glare of
his stooped her from doing so..
She would always remember that look.. hatred, betrayal, sadness.. and it had
burned into her soul and smashed her heart.
She hung her head in defeat and slowly rode towards her father.
She turned around one last time tears in her blue eyes.. she didn't know what she
expected to see.. maybe some hint of love- but nothing- nothing at all...
" I never want to see you again" where the last words she heard before her father
took her into his arms and brought her back to the castle.....
Endymion didn't bother to stay until she was gone. As soon as her father had
embraced her he turned around and galloped back to the hideout.
That night he ordered his men to pack their stuff and search for another hiding
place.. Serenity could tell her father and they would be lost.
**********************
Malachite and Jadeite watched their King worriedly..
Three weeks had gone by and Endymion was in a very bad condition.. he didn't
eat, he didn't sleep.. he always was in a bad mood and some soldiers where even
staring to fear him..
"He can't keep going on like that.. he's been working ever since.. you know.."
"Yes, I know. I tried talking to him but he wouldn't listen.. he feels betrayed and
as if somebody had killed his heart for the second time in his life.." the old general
quietly answered.
"I don't think she lied to him.. I saw the love for him in her eyes.. why doesn't he
see it?" Jadeite shook his head in disbelief.
"Because he's too stubborn.."
"Do you think we should tell him that she's going to marry soon??"
"You mean the tournament where her husband will be chosen?"
"Yes.."
"I don't think it would effect him much.. but it's worth a try.."
"I wholeheartedly agree with you, general." Jadeite grinned.
