Chapter 7: The Air is Cleared
"I......love you," Endymion muttered, turning a crimson color.
"R-Really?" Serenity stuttered. She skated up to him and tugged lightly on his sweater as she stared at him to see if he was completely serious.
"Yeah," Endymion sighed, trying to look anywhere but at Serenity. She just wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a hug.
"I love you too," Serenity whispered into his sweater. She smiled as she held him tighter, not wanting to see the shocked look on his face. Endymion smiled also, after getting over the initial shock. He wrapped his arms around her warm body and became content with the fact that they loved each other. "But...I'm getting married at the end of this week."
"Then, we'll do the only thing I can think to do," Endymion said, trying to cheer Serenity up.
"What's that?" she asked, pulling away from him only to play with his gloved hands.
"We'll have the time of our lives," Endymion replied, giving Serenity a lopsided grin. She smiled back brightly and took his hand. They began skating side by side, contentedly holding hands. "Besides, marriage is something you have to do for peace. There is nothing you can really do about it."
"Little Endy's not going to get jealous?" Serenity teased, feigning innocence.
"I probably will," he blushed. "But, that is something I'll have to live with. We couldn't get married anyway. Our planets hate-! That's it!" Endymion's face cleared as an idea came to him. He let go of Serenity's hand and skated his boots at an incredibly fast pace. When he reached them, he sat down and began to change his skates as Serenity skated leisurely over to him. His skates were changed by the time she made it over to him and he had already started to jog up the hill.
"Endymion!!" she called, confused. He turned, saw her, and ran back down the hill. He kissed her on the lips quickly before turning to run up the hill again.
"Sorry, Serenity!! See you tomorrow!! I'll send Kunzite out to get you!! Love you!!" he yelled over his shoulder with a wave.
"Men," Serenity sighed. She touched her lips, remembering the kiss and the tingling sensation. 'Starlight was right,' she thought, sitting down to take off her skates. 'He loves me...'
Serenity opened her eyes slowly, squinting against the bright light of the sun. She sat up in bed, stretched, and yawned before pulling the covers off and swinging her legs over the edge of the bed. He crystal blue night gown dragged lightly on the stairs when she went down them and her feet padded lightly on the marble floor as she headed towards the dining room .She saw the ebony haired man she was looking for as soon as she walked through the door. He was too indulged in whatever he was reading to notice her. Serenity's smile faded as she soon saw the look on his face.
"What happened?" Serenity asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Serenity....," Endymion muttered, looking up. "I'm glad you're awake. I want you to pack your things. we have to leave. Now." Endymion stood up from the table and began placing the strewn about papers into a single black folder.
"What happened Endymion?" Serenity asked again in the same tone only a little more firm this time.
"Beryl is coming," Endymion said, looking out the window at the dark clouds that were forming overhead.
"Here?" Serenity began to slowly walk closer to Endymion and stopped when she was at arm's reach.
"She plans to destroy this kingdom and every other one like it," Endymion mumble, confirming what Serenity asked. "She wants your kingdom to fall too, but as long as you live the alliance between the planets will live. So, I want you to pack all your things and leave immediately."
"But, Endymion-"
"Don't question me!" Endymion turned his midnight blue eyes to her as a tear fell from her crystal blue ones. "Please, Serenity, I want you to protect yourself."
"Just promise me something, "Serenity replied, her tears falling silently down her face. "Come back to me."
"I promise. I promise I'll find you again, Endymion muttered, pulling Serenity closer to him. He directed her chin up as he bent his down slightly to kiss her lips in what he though might be the last they ever shared. Serenity pulled away and ran out of the dining room without looking back. Endymion felt loneliness press on him as he turned his gaze back out the window. "Good-bye, my love."
Serenity picked up the bag and put it on her back before she looked around the room one last time. She sighed heavily as she swallowed her tears. No, she wasn't going to cry anymore. She knew she had to leave, but never dreamed it would be this hard. Her heart was broken, but Endymion promised and he wasn't one to break his promises. Especially to her, even though his head screamed at him for being so naive. So there was only one thing left for her to do. Leave.
Turning around and walking out the door, Serenity headed for the transportation tower. She was planning on seeing her mother as soon as she returned to the Moon. This was partly because she was tired of being treated like a child just because everybody believed she needed protecting. Also, she wanted to know what the in hell was going on! Everybody refused to tell her what was going on and it was really starting to irritate her.
As soon as she reached the tower, Serenity's sadness had worn off, but it was replaced by annoyance. She pressed the correct keys in for her destination before she pressed the send button. Serenity stepped into the glowing white beam and disappeared along with it to appear again in a different tower on the Moon.
Serenity walked quickly down the tower stairs and stopped at the bottom to look around the darkened hallway. It looked like many things had changed since she had left a few days ago. The plants lining the walls were dying and all the art- paintings, sculptures, pottery, etc.- had been removed.
"Serenity...," something hisses from an unknown hiding spot. Serenity whipped around and immediately began looking for the face that the deadly voice belonged to. "Serenity...."
"Who's there?" Serenity called, courage seeping through her being. "Show yourself."
"Prepare to die, princess," Beryl murmured, and evil smile playing across her lips as she stepped out of the hellish hole that welcomed her so much. The hellish hole we are all familiar with; darkness.
"Serenity!!" Endymion called from behind her. Serenity whirled around to see him running up the hall, broadsword in hand. He stepped infront of the Princess of the Moon as he narrowed his at the witch infront of him. "It's bad enough you destroyed my entire kingdom, but it's even worse that you weren't satisfied."
" Of course not. You should know why though because you were standing there when I honored you general's last request to know why. What was his name? Ah, yes, Jaedite," Beryl said, the smirk never leaving her face. "Those poor souls never knew who they were dealing with. But, you, Endymion, do, (wow! that's a lot of commas, but they do work) so I'm going to offer you something I haven't offered anybody."
"I don't want to hear anymore words, demon," Endymion spat, his midnight blue eyes burning with fire and pain.
"Oh, such hasty words, Prince," Beryl taunted, tilting her head in interest. "If you leave that sickly thing behind you and join me, I will personally make sure you life the life of a true king."
"The sickly thing is infront of me not behind," Endymion muttered, his eyes narrowing at Beryl.
"What?!" Beryl's face twisted with anger and hate. Fangs grew out of her mouth as her eyes turned crimson. "You will die by those words, Endymion."
"You'll die first!" Endymion charged with his broadsword high above his head. He planned to swing it at the demon's head and take her out with one blow, but because his emotions were blinding him he never saw Beryl's hand extend infront of her or the claws that shot straight at him. At first, Endymion felt nothing because of the initial shock of having a hole through his body. But, as soon as the shock had ended, he was doubled over on his knees with pain. When he fell back, he did feel the warm arms that caught him.
"Endymion!! Speak to me!!" Serenity called, searching his tranquil eyes for any sign.
"Serenity," Endymion said, smiling. "Don't cry my love. Remember our promise. I'll find you again just like I promised."
"Endymion....you cant die. I need you....I need you Endymion," Serenity sobbed. "I love you."
"I want you to know that just yesterday your mother told me," Endymion replied, the smile never leaving his face. "Serenity, you were going to marry me. After all that time, it was me."
"Don't talk anymore," Serenity whimpered. "Stop wasting your strength."
"I love you Serenity," Endymion muttered, closing his midnight blue eyes as the last of his air escaped through his lips. Serenity leaned Endymion's limp body against the wall before she turned to look at Beryl who was still smirking. She seemed to be intrigued by the scene that was laid out before her.
"You've won, Beryl," Serenity said, her voice dark as she bent down to pick up Endymion's broadsword. "But, I will win next time."
"Foolish girl," was all Beryl had the chance to say. Serenity drained almost all of her power to trap Beryl away in the Silver Crystal that she held within herself. She took one last look at the dead body of her love before she plunged his broadsword into her broken heart.
Serena walked along, her blonde hair swaying. She clenched the piece of paper infront of her marked with a fifty as she walked along the sidewalk. 'Mom is going to kill me again,' Serena though solemnly. 'I won't be able to leave the house ever again.'
Serena stopped and sighed heavily. She took one last look at the test paper before she crumpled it up and threw it over her head.
"Hey!" some male voice called from behind her/ "Ms. Pigtails, I'm not a trash can," the ebony haired man replied, causing Serena to turn back around and look at him. Crystal blue crashed with midnight blue. "A fifty?! Do you not pay attention or are you just stupid?"
"Stupid?! You don't even know me!!" Serena screamed, receiving a few curios looks. "Jerk!"
"Hey! This jerk has feelings too! And I don't appreciate being treated like a trash can, Ms. Pigtails!!"
"I have a name! It's Serena, so stop calling me Ms. Pigtails!" Serena yelled, pulling her test paper back away from him and stomping away. "Jerk!" she called before disappearing around a corner.
Darien smiled as he remembered seeing the fiery look in the young blonde's eyes. 'Serena, huh?' Darien though. 'I hope to see more of you Serena.'
As the two went their separate ways, one word popped into both their minds. Remember.
The End
