Chapter 17: Oblivion
*following Sere and Endy* Serenity sat in her room and cried endlessly. She was forbidden to leave the room and he couldn't enter it at any cost. She'd cried out for him for the first night and then for her mother. When neither came, she slipped into a depression. Something hit the high window but she ignored it. It was hit again. This time she looked up to see what seemed like a human form peering in. "Sere?" the voice asked. "Who, who is it?" "Endy," he replied. "Oh," Serenity sighed out and began crying again. "No, no Sere. No more tears. Don't cry," he begged. "I can't help it. I hate being trapped up in here, unable to see anyone." "I can get you out," he said and she stopped mid-sob. "How?" "Tonight," Endy said. "What? tonight what?" "I'll be here."
*Rei* I had just about given up on ever leaving this hell of life. Oh gods Draco! Come back. I don't want to live any longer. Patience is the only thing he'd say in an answer to me. Just have patience. I'm fucking fed up with this damn patience. Jadeite found me today sitting under a tree. He seemed unusually sweet. I didn't pay him much attention. I figured out that I didn't love him. In fact, I never had. I just thought I did. I guess I was using him to some degree. Who knows? "Rei," a voice called. "What?" I snapped. "Rei, you shouldn't be so aggressive towards people," Draco said to me. "Oh, you." "And who else?" "I don't know. Jadeite maybe." "Hah. Never. Rei," he said as he sat down next to me. "I know what you think. I know what you know. And I tend to feel what you feel. I think it's kind of sad. All of those years and you never really loved him. You think you aren't meant to love," I looked at him. He smiled. "You are meant to love. But not him. You were meant for someone else." "Who?" "Why ask so many questions? Must you know everything that is to happen in you time?" I looked down. I had given up. There was no use fighting with Draco about this and I would probably never find out who I was meant for. I probably killed them anyway, so, I pretty much ruined everything for myself. "Me," he whispered in my ear. I got a really confused look on my face. "What?" "You were meant for me. It's in the stars. There's nothing we could do about it. We are meant to fall in love and I was meant to bring about your end." "So much for a happy ending for me." "No Rei," he said when I began to pout. "It's not like you think." "Well, I'm finally going to get one of the two things I ever wanted and then I'm going to die. It's just great." "Well," he said looking at his feet. "If you put it that way."
*Later that night* "Sere," Endy said cautiously. "Oh Endy!" she nearly screamed back at him through the door to her room. "Sere you must be quiet or we'll be found out." "Yes yes," she said and immediately quieted herself. "Stand back," he commanded as he blasted the door knob with a burst of power, breaking it and releasing Serenity. "Oh Endy!" she screeched, running to him and throwing her arms around him. "I'm happy to see you too but for the gods' sake Sere, be quiet," he begged her. "Yes, of course," she said with tears of joy streaming down her face. "Where do we go from here?" "I haven't the faintest," he smiled and kissed her. "But we shouldn't linger here. It would be my death to be caught." "Come," she said taking his hand.
"We must go back to earth," she said as they stood in the star beam gazebo in the royal gardens. "No," he said. "I cannot. I must stay here." "Endy, she'll kill you. She'll never let me see you ever again, we must go." "No," a strange voice rang out. "You'll never return to earth and she'll never see you again." "Who the hell are you?" Endy asked moving Serenity behind him. The man flipped his silvery hair back, "Lord Malachite," he said bowing in mockery. "What do you want?" "Well, first I want her to die and then I want you to kill yourself," Malachite said. He held out his hand and beckoned Serenity. She began to advance toward him, fighting his power the whole time. "Serenity!" Endy called and ran forward but was blocked by some kind of a force field. "Endy, help me," she begged, barely audible. "That's it princess. Keep coming." She was less than six inches from Malachite and he swiftly latched onto her neck and spun her around to face Endymion. "Tell me Endymion," he said holding Sere off the ground by her neck. "How do you want her to die?" A storm began brewing and lightening struck. "I don't want her to die." "A lot of blood? or not much at all?" he asked. "Swift and virtually painless or not so fast and painful?" "She will not die!" Endymion yelled and threw his fist down. As he did that, a lightening bolt struck Malachite and knocked Sere out of his grip. She ran over to Endy and he held onto her. "I'm not going to let him hurt you. I'll do everything in my power." Malachite laughed. "You think that will stop me? so naive," he paused and held out his hand again. "Come." Sere yet again obeyed. She tried to fight him but his power was too strong. "Endy, help me," she pleaded but he was held back by some invisible force. All he could do was watch as Malachite did horrible things to his love and would eventually kill her.
