Chapter 2



Serenity was in a happy mood. It was a bright day and her and Endymion were planning to tell the Senshi and her mother, Queen Serenity about the engagement. They wanted it to be announced before Endymion returned for Earth again next week.

***

After having a quick shower, and dressing in a long sky blue dress with thin straps, Serenity started walking towards the dining, Serenity hummed a soft tune to herself. She was about to pull open the doors when two strong arms snaked around her thin waist, and was brought up against a muscular chest. She knew at once it was Endy. "Good morning, my Princess, and how would you be this morning?" he breathed in her ear, making her smile. "Very well, but also hungry." She said, grinning. She could almost feel him grin also. "Well, we're only a step away, why don't we get something to eat?" He suggested. Serenity nodded, and taking his hand, opened the door with the other.

The room was deadly silent as soon as the Prince and Princess walked in. "Something wrong?" Endymion asked, concerned at everyone's worried faces.

The Queen was first to move. She stood and cleared her throat. It was clear that she held the most worry. "Mother?" Serenity whispered, confused. She let go of Endymion's hand and rushed forward, her hands clasped tightly together. "Endymion," the Queen was hesitant to continue, "The Earth Kingdom has been attacked by Beryl's forces."

Endymion's face paled but he still stood strong. Serenity gasped, her eyes wandering from her mother to Endymion and back. "Oh no…"

"Your father, King Sanfar, commands that you return immediately." Queen Serenity said calmly. Endymion nodded. "When did she attack?"

"Last night, when we were looking for the Princess." Rei said suddenly, glaring intentionally at Serenity. The young girl stared guiltily at the floor. Endymion, though, did not seem affected. "I should go now, then." Serenity perked up. Reaching out, she shook her head slightly, tears welling up in her blue orbs. "No…"

Endymion softened. "I must. My Kingdom needs me. Don't worry I'll be back." He smiled gently, and taking her hand, he kissed it. "I love you." He whispered. Serenity smiled, the tears flowing down freely. "I love you too." And then he was gone.

***

Serenity sat in the garden, crying. She had faith in her Prince, though she still did not want him to go. Pulling out her hidden diary, she flipped it open, and started to write.

**Endymion has left. He's gone to protect his Kingdom. I hope he doesn't get hurt. I don't know how I will react if something happens to him. What will happen to me? I don't want to think about it.

We haven't even told mother or my Senshi about the engagement. I won't tell them… not until he returns. And then we'll be able to continue the magic we had glowing around us. I miss him already, and it's only been a few hours. What happens if he is killed…**

With that Serenity started to weep louder, burrowing her face in her hands.

After a few hours, and Serenity felt she could not cry no more, she left the Garden. She placed her journal away and left, promising herself she would be back.

***

As Serenity stepped into the palace, she was immediately bombarded with questions from the Senshi. "Where have you been?" "We've been looking all over for you!" "You have to stop wandering off like that!"

Serenity's head spun from the attention. She listened to the Senshi babble over her until she could stand it no more. "I'm okay! It's not like Beryl is attacking the Moon!"

She noted that the Senshi each stared at the ground guiltily when she said that. "What are you not telling me?" She asked accusingly. "Nothing!" Ami said quickly, not looking at Serenity. "Ami! I can tell when you're lying! Look at me in the eye and tell me that!" She cried! Ami refused. "Look, I'll tell her. There's no use keeping it from her because she's going to find out sooner or later." Minako gave in. Serenity smiled. "Serenity, Beryl has left the Earth Kingdom, her warriors are still attacking. She has announced that there is something on the Moon that she is after, and we don't know when she is going to arrive. We don't know what she wants either…" Minako started.

"But we have a hunch!" Rei blurted out. She shut up right away. "Oh?" Serenity asked. Mokoto butt in. "We think she may want you. For revenge against Endymion for refusing her. Queen Serenity asked us not to tell you unless complete necessary."

Serenity gasped. "ME?"
