A Wish Come True
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter #4
Rating: PG-13
A millisecond later, Endimoin seemed to realize what he had just said, and cleared
his throat as he pulled his hand back and busied himself with putting the cork back in the
water jug.
Serena rose to her knees and turned away from the Prince to hide her blushing face.
Then she got up and walked over to the black stallion waiting about 10 feet away, his tail
swishing impatiently. Petting his soft damp nose, she didin't hear the Prince come up until
he was right behind her.
"I just have to water Midnight, and then we'll be on our way." Endimoin said in a low
voice, as he reached around her to take the reigns, and then led the horse away.
Serena nodded, but kept her back to him and her eyes on the ground, the whole time.
When he returned, a short time later, she allowed him to help her up in front of him again,
but was finding it difficult to just concentrate on the ride, and not on the man who rode
directly behind her. So fate had to intervine...and not exactly in the subtlest of ways
either....
Suddenly, Midnight neighed loudly and reared back! Serena screamed as she was nearly
thrown from the saddle, and was only held in by Endimoin's strong arms and his incredable
amount of balance as he managed to keep himself on the horse by angling his left knee into
Midnihgt's side, and pulling hard on the riegns with his left hand.
Well, they were both still on the horse, but it wasn't like they weren't moving at
lightening-like speed durning this whole process. Oh no...Midnight was running across the
flower filled fields like the hounds of hades were on his tail!!! Both Prince and peasent
were jostled around like rag dolls for a good 5 minutes, before midnight finally calmed
down, and simply slowed to a walk, and then stopped to nibble some grass like nothing had
happened.
Endimoin dropped the reigns and slid off, Serena following quickly after. In fact,
she naerly fell off the horse in her hast to dismount. Endimoin walked around to inspect
Midnights rump, as to what had caused him to bolt like that. Sure enough, a small welt was
already rising near the back of the saddle. A bee sting.
He signed...well, that was an adventure if nothing else. Stupid bee...oh well, all's
well that end's well he guessed, and turned to see how the young maidan was doing.
Serena had stumbled a few feet from the horse and then had fallen to her knees a few
seconds later when her quivering legs could no long hold her. She barried her face in her hands
as she hunched forward, her body rocking back and forth, and sobbed. Her breath came in quick
gasps as she tried to take in air during the frantic pounding of her heart. Serena had been sure
that this was it...she would surely not make it out alive...but when the horse stopped, so did
time. She was alive...but oh, she could have been-..she couldn't even think about it, the mere
thought scared her.
Seeing his angel huddled on the ground crying tore at his heart, and Endimoin hurried
over to her. He crouched behind her and placed his hands around her on her forarms. He felt
her body stiffen at his contact, but her sobs decreased and soon fell silent. Her body trembled
madly, and her breath still came in shaky gasps. He reached out to tenderly pull her hair from in
front of her face, but she turned her head away from him, and tried half heartedly to pull herself
from his arms.
"The horse was stung by a bee...and he spooked. It happens all the time...but don't worry,
he's fine now and-" Endimoin cut himself off, as he realized that he was babbling, but Serena wasn't
listening to him anyway.
"You refuse to look at me, and tremble at my touch, why?" Endimoin demanded, irritated, and
failing to keep the annoyance out of his voice.
"Forgive me, Your Grace, for I cannot answer that." She finally said, her voice as soft and
light as a feather.
"Why not?" Endimoin said quickly, then realized the demanding tone of his voice, and hastened
to add, "Why won't you talk to me? I will listen. I will try to understand."
"I do not know how to say this My Lord, I do not want to risk offending you and-" suddenly the
Prince's grip on her arms tightened and he spun her around.
Endimoin grew frusterated at the girl's stumbling to say what she ment. It was always like that.
No one wanted to -offend- him, they were all afraid of having their heads chopped off or being thrown in
the stocks! He grabbed Serena's arms more tightly and turned her to face him.
"Why!" He shouted, and she flinched as if she had been struck, but he kept going. "Why does
everyone think that I'll behead them or something if they say something that I don't like?!!!"
Serena winced as Endimoin's fingers dug into her arms, and stared mutely as he shouted in her
face. She refused to cry, although having someone yell at you and shake her for not speaking your mind
was certainly cause for it.
Endimoin watched Serena's head flop back and forth and realized that in his anger he had gabbed
her and started shaking her!! With a start, he stopped and relased her. Serena fell backwards, at the
sudden freedom from the Prince's grip, and hit the ground with a startled cry.
"I-I'm sorry!" She managed to get out as her throat started to choke with tears, "P-please
forgive me Your Highness! I will tell you! I w-will tell y-ou." she finished as tears slipped down her
face, and her lips trembled with her failing efforts not to cry.
[Oh gods...] He thought as the girl stared at him and forced words through oncoming tears,
[What have I done?] He knelt in front of her, but kept his hands on his knees.
"Serena-"
He had to make it right, he had to make her see that he hadn't mean to do that- but she was
already talking.
"I...I care for you."
His heart sped up.
"No, I care for you more then I should. I think I'm falling in love with you."
His heart felt like it would burst through his tunic. After what he had just done to make her
tell him what she was thinking, and it was this??? Better yet, it still -was- this!
"Serena, I didn't kno-" He started to say, his head lowered, but she was still speaking.
"But I didn't want to tell you, because I know that it can never be!"
Her words shocked him! Never be? And why not? He looked up to tell her so, but she was just
disappearing over the top of the hill that they were sitting by.
Serena realized what she had just said, but couldn't take it back now. He had made her say it.
No, she had wanted to say it, desperately, but she also knew that he couldn't possibly feel the same way.
She jumped up and started to run up the hill, the sharp stones cutting at her feet. She had to get away
before he-...before he what? She had no idea what the Prince might do, now that she had confessed her
feelings for him, but she didn't want to stick around to find out.
Endimoin lept to his feet and took off after the trailing blond hair that he saw for a split
second before she disappeared. At the top of the hill, he saw Serena had stopped at the other side,
and was leaning against a tree. He caught up to her easily, and silently made his way to stand behind
her agian.
"Maybe this will change your mind." He found himself saying huskily, as he took her arm again,
and gently turned the girl around, before she could respond.
Serena gasped, as Endimoin suddenly appeared behind her and spoke into her ear. The he suddenly
took her arm and turned her to face him again. Then he leaned down...
Endimoin slipped his arm around Serena's back and pulled her against his chest, then he dipped her
back slightly and and pressed his lips to hers.
Serena felt her face flame brightly as the Prince pulled her close, bent down, and kissed her!!!
Her body suddenly felt as weak as water, and she struggled not to pass out right in his arms....again.
As he kissed her, Endimoin wondered what had possessed him to do so? Sure she had just confessed
that she was in love with him, but she was so nervous when she said it, and he had practically made her
say it too and- then he felt her small hands pushing against his chest.

And that's all folks!!! For now that is... So AWCT has grown to 5 parts now. Maybe #5 will be the
finisher maybe not. Whenever I write something, the finished producet usually comes out at least a whole
part longer then the original. Well, hope you like the story so far!
