JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE HEART
CHAPTER 5:I
WILL NEVER LET YOU GO
Jadeite
rubbed the back of his neck as he slowly sighed in pain. He opened his eyes and
discovered that he was in a large bamboo made cage. He looked wildly for
Serenity and noticed she was not in the cage with him. "god, I hope she's
escaped," Jadeite prayed even though it was a slim chance that she would. He
yelled aloud so that someone will pay attention to him but to no avail. He
looked outside and found out that he was somewhere behind the camp area.
Corpses surrounded his cage. Uggh" was all he could mutter as he hold his nose
for the odor was very unpleasant. "what a handsome man like you doing here,?" a
voice was heard. Jadeite turned towards the voice and found a gipsy woman
standing in front of him. "where's Serenity,?" was the first question he asked.
"she's …around," the lady began, looking at her nails annoyed. "don't you want
to know who I am?" she asked and began to approached the cage. Her raven hair shone lightly as it exposed
to the sun, her dark purple eyes were evil at the first glimpse, her lips made
a sinister smile shaken its enemies to the bone. She's the opposite character
of Serenity, an angel of his. "who are you?" Jadeite asked coldly. Im Belle,
Dark Kingdom's ruler. She announced proudly. "and you, my sweet, are my slave,
haha," She laughed hysterically. Jadeite tried to find something to unlock the
cage. "Tonight, you shall witness an enthrone ceremony…by Me..," she chuckled
slyly." I will be the Queen and you shall be the King," She held her hand to touched his face but
Jadeite stepped back. Belle withdraw her hand immediately, "very well!, if
that's the way you want it. Then you shall rotten in this cage!" she turned and
walked away frustrated.
Queen Celest went to the
Throne Room where a meeting was held. The two generals and the King were
discussing on the rescuing issues when suddenly Endymion stormed into the room.
His patience growing thin, he kneeled in front of the King and asked for his
permission to go on the search. "my son, please act rationally
We
must planned strategically and rushing in this matters would not solve
anything." The king rejected his request. "Father, this isn't something to be
plan!, immediate reaction will help save them!, alone out there, they will die
of hunger or being hunt by wild beast!" Endymion spoke harshly. "Enough!" The King commanded Endymion to participate
on the meeting or just go to his chamber and stay there. Endymion shook his
head and walked off the throne room. Queen Celest frowned, watching her husband
and her son fighting like that made her heart tore apart.
Jadeite sat on the cage bored, and the smell
disturbed him badly when suddenly the cage's door opened and came in were two
masculine guys and pulled Jadeite up to his feet hardly. His hands were held to
the back and a rope was tide around them, not wanting him to provoke them. "where
are you taking me!?" he asked firmly. At first there were no response as the
men groaned to make him walked infront of them. He obeyed silently. "maybe they
will take me to see Serenity" he thought. He was somewhere in the center of the
camp when a shrieked was heard. "jadeite!!" screamed a voice. Jadeite turned
and found that Serenity was in a similar cage as his and a group of barbaric
men surrounded her cage, amused by her beauty. "Jadeite!!" she screamed again,
her eyes begged him to come to her. "Serenity!" Jadeite rushed towards her cage
but was stopped by a hard blow to his stomach. He felt to his knees and cursing
the pain. "I wouldn't do that if I were you" said the feminine voice. "Belle! Let
her go!" Jadeite raised his voice but not dare to raise his head. "I will set
her free, if you agree to be my King, Refuse, then you shall die!" Her tone was
dangerously low. Even though, the offer was unfair but her chance to survive
will be assured. Serenity prayed silently that Jadeite's final answer would be 'no'.
"please Jadeite, just say no"…she thought. He looked at her, her gaze was full
of love and a little jealousy sparked in her shining bright eyes. "No!" he said
with no regrets. "what!?" Belle got up from her throne chair, you dare to say
no to me!!" she stated furiously. "then both of you shall DIE!!!" she said
finally and turned bright red as she left them in the hands of the prosecutor.
Endymion
went straight to his chamber, packed all the necessities he needed for the
quest. Queen Celest entered his chamber and she consoled him to think of it. "mother,
I have think of it a lot! Im not going to sit here and wait for bad news to
come!! Im leaving now" Endymion stammered without looking at his mother that was in tears. Her heart felt
pain all of a sudden and she collapsed to the floor. "Mother!" Endymion
realized what he had done.
Jadeite made his way to her cage roughly, even though
he was kicked and punched in the process to walk towards her cage. In his every
fall, Serenity cried even harder than the last, she held her hand out of the
cage so that Jadeite could have support to come to her. Her cries gave courage
to him, his body hurts and he felt to his knees again as the men hit him
without mercy. The people around them laughed as though they were the clowns in
their amusement park. He almost reached her cage and was now crawling for cry
out loud!!!. Serenity sat at the edge of the cage and held out her hand as far
as possible to reach him. " Jade, please..a little more, " she said softly as
her tears flowed like a stream. He was covered with blood almost entire part of
his body, his eyes were half opened, their fingers were almost touched when
suddenly the barbarians around them separated them within seconds. "NO!!!" Serenity shouted. They laughed hysterically
in seeing the couple suffering. The two men carried the limped Jadeite to the
prosecutor. He was ready with his axe and a black cloth covered his face so not
to reveal his face to his victim. They placed Jadeite's head in position and he
was too weak to take any action. "Jadeite, no..don't leave me here" Serenity
thought as she closed her eyes. All of a sudden her crescent symbol on her
forehead shone brightly, blinded everyone in that area. The cage burst opened,
she walked slowly towards the execution place. Her eyes were blank, as her
entire being focused in her amazing energy. She let out the final light and an
energy beam was fired directly towards the prosecutor. "Ahhh!" he shouted and
died on the spot. Serenity almost fainted at the lost of her energy but she
quickly went towards Jadeite and placed his hand around her shoulder and with
all her might, she half carried Jadeite into the jungle. Belle was busy taking
her 'beauty sleep' until one of her guard, half injured, ran to her and told
her that the prisoner had escaped. "IDIOT!! Fool!! She shouted as she stomped
out of her luxury tent. She was stunned in seeing her surroundings, blood everywhere
and bodies scattered. She screamed on top of her lungs.
Serenity was too tired to go
on and collapsed to the ground. Breathing heavily, she looked at Jadeite's
form. She gently brushed her fingers to his cheek. "he looks so adorable," she
thought. She gave one final look at the jungle and know that they were
somewhere hidden from Belle's minions to catch them. Serenity laid close to
Jadeite's body, holding him tight never to let him go again, never can anyone separate
them…never ever.
Well that's that for now…

R&R….i know its terrible
but give me a chance here..
