Chapter Two

Revenge

Serenity stared. She felt five pairs of eyes on her, waiting for her response. Serenity shook her head slightly, was it just her or was the room spinning around before her eyes?

"Serenity?" Makoto asked gently, cautiously approaching the silent girl. Serenity stood up, and unwillingly turned her head so that no one could see the pain she held in her eyes. 'But why shouldn't they?' Serenity's mind argued. 'Why shouldn't they see all the pain I'm going through?'

"Serenity, are you alright?" Ami asked, "Oh Rei, you're sure it wasn't someone else? Anyone could have the same midnight blue eyes, jet black hair…" She stopped, when she saw everyone starring at her. Minako got up, and pulled Serenity into a warm embrace. She felt Serenity shudder as she finally gave in and sobbed quietly. Minako could almost feel her pain. "It'll be alright. Everything will be okay. Don't worry…" She soothed, glaring at everyone that stood and watched, not helping at all. Almost immediately, Rei, Ami and Makoto were comforting the sobbing girl, and Jadeite stood watching, unsure if he should be there or not. Deciding he should take his leave, Jadeite turned and left silently, he would talk to Rei later. "I'm sorry." Rei whispered, "I didn't mean to sound so harsh." Serenity shook her head, as she hugged each of the girls tightly. She felt the safest when she was with them, besides from Endymion. "I know you didn't intend it to come out like that. And it isn't your fault. You have nothing to apologise for." Rei nodded, though she did not agree.

While Makoto watched her princess suffer, she felt her anger boiling. How could Endymion do this to her? The poor girl, she must be feeling so alone, so helpless. 'We must support her through all of this. We have to.' Makoto swore, feeling more protective of Serenity than usual.

Ami watched her friend cry silently, saddened that her princess, her first true friend, could actually be brought down from her normally bubbly self. Serenity had always been there for her, from the very start, and had made Ami believe there was true friendship in the world, and not just cold judgement. Ami, even though she didn't believe in anger, believed in it this one time.

Suddenly, Serenity stood straight. Her eyes were bloodshot, her face flushed. Tears streaked down her soft cheeks, but she did not bother to wipe them away. "I'm sorry, but I think I would like to be alone now." She choked out, heading towards the door. The four other Senshi nodded in understanding and let her leave. "Serenity, are you sure you will be alright?" Mokoto called out. Serenity waved her hand back at them, signalling she would be fine. "I just need some time to think." She said, and then she was gone. "I feel badly for her." Ami sighed, starring at the open door. "Yeah, Ditto." Makoto agreed, also gazing after the long gone princess. "I wish there was something I could do…" Minako said. "I wish I hadn't yelled at her." Rei guiltily persuaded. They all stared at the floor, it was suddenly so… fascinating!

***

Serenity ran. She didn't stop, and all the servants had to jump out the way for the running princess. Soon afterwards, she reached her bedchambers, and collapsed onto the bed. Instantly, she broke into hysterics, her sobs muffled by the snow-white quilt that lay across her four-poster canope bed. Soon after, she was asleep in her own tears.

***

The next morning was gloomy and dull. Or so it seemed to Serenity. The sun did not shine through her window bay, and dark clouds covered the sky. To Serenity, she thought the weather matched her emotions perfectly. Who needs sunshine, when you could have rain?

Getting dressed quickly, she slowly walked towards the dining, even though she had lost her appetite suddenly. She had still not forgotten last night's memories, if you did call them memories. Close to tears once more, Serenity tried her best to look cheerful, even though they knew she would be in great pain.

Pulling open the double doors, Serenity walked inside, and even though her smile was bright, her blue orbs betrayed her. They shimmered with tears but luckily, only the Senshi and generals were in the room. The King or queen were no where to be seen, or Endymion for that matter. The group stood up at her arrival, and Serenity simply nodded, sitting next to Minako. "How are you holding up?" Minako whispered into Serenity's ear. Serenity starred at her best friend, wondering how she should answer. "Cold and Alone." She simply answered, not bothering to whisper. "Cold?" Kunzite asked curiously. "Alone?" Zoisite wondered. He had still not heard. Everyone stared at him. "Yes. Alone because I can't believe I have been betrayed."

"And cold?"

Serenity held up a piece of her dress. "Who knew this material could be so thin?"

***

Hours later found Serenity in the rose gardens, sitting on the ground, sobbing. Even though she had broken the silence earlier, and had brought laughter into the quiet group, the saddened emotions had not left her heart. But now, it was all changing. Serenity now found herself understanding Endymion's choice, even though she was still heartbroken. 'It is after all, his choice who he loves. It can not be helped if he does not feel the same way as before.' With this, Serenity broke into down into fresh tears once more.

Serenity was so into her own thoughts, she did not notice Endymion standing behind her. Noticing her cries, he rushed up to her and touched her shoulder gently, as to not startle sobbing princess. "Sere, love. What is wrong? What has brought you these tears?" He asked, concern deep in his eyes.

Serenity felt a hand touch her shoulder. Startled, she looked up and gasped. Endymion stood there, deep with concern, or so it seemed. "Sere, love. What is wrong? What has brought you these tears?" he asked gently, kneeling beside her, his arm around her shoulder. Serenity shrugged it off, and he stared at her, bewildered. What was wrong? Serenity stood up shakily, hurt filled in her now, dull blue orbs. "Serenity?" Endymion questioned, reaching out for her hand. The princess stepped back. Her hand out of reach to hold. She opened her mouth to say something, but stopped. The silence between them outlasted, and it was Endymion who finally spoke. "What is wrong? Have I done something to upset you?" Serenity let out a choked sob, and suddenly, she felt herself running. Running faster than ever before. Tears streamed down her face, and she did not bother to wipe them away. 'How could he think nothing is wrong? How could he play with my heart like that?' she thought, hoping he was not following her.

***

It took Endymion awhile to figure out what had just happened. He blinked, surprised at how fast she ran. And then he realised. Shouldn't he be running after her? Endymion took off, his legs carrying him as fast as they could. Boy, she was fast. But he was still gaining on her. "Serenity!" He called out, not really expecting a reply. "I'm perfectly fine! Just leave me alone!" She cried out, not slowing down in the least. Endymion, finally caught up, reached out for her arm, or hand. Anything he could grasp to make her stop. Just as he was about to grab her, a feminine hand slapped his own out the way, and he stumbled to a stop, and fell. When he stood, Endymion noticed the four Senshi guarding his way, and his Serenity… was long gone. "I'm sorry, Prince Endymion, but you can't see her. It is against her wishes." Sailor Mercury said softly, her gaze boring into him. "Why not?" Endymion asked, disgusted. He brushed the few leaves from his clothes, and stood straight, nervous under the power of the four protectors. They were good friends, but they were far from that when Serenity was concerned. Sailor Jupiter growled, determined not to let her guard down. Neither were the others. "Fine. Tell her when she wants to talk, I'd be more then happy to." He sighed, and turned away into the other direction. When he was out of sight, the Senshi detransformed and started back to the palace in silence. Ami was the first to speak. "Where do you think she's hiding?"

"What makes you think she's hiding?" Rei enquired. "Well, do you think she would just go to some place casual, like her room?" Ami argued, quickening her pace. Minako and Makoto nodded. "I suppose." Rei sighed.

The Senshi reached the palace and each headed in a different direction. It would be quicker, they decided.

***

Makoto was the first to find her. Serenity was in the library, hidden between two bookshelves, sobbing. The Senshi of Jupiter knelt beside her and hugged her, startling the princess. But when she saw who it was, the princess flung into her friend's embrace. "Are you okay?" Makoto asked gently, smiling. Serenity half nodded, half shook her head. "Thankyou." Serenity whispered into her friend's ear, making Makoto laugh softly. "Anytime, my princess." She replied. They stayed in each other's embrace until the other Senshi found them.

***

That night, when dinner was served, no one spoke. Queen Terrana and King Sanfar had gone out on business, and would not be returning until late that night. Every once and awhile, the girls would giggle or the guys would whisper, but that was the only sound besides from the clatter of cutlery. When Serenity was finished eating, she whispered a goodbye to her friends and went to leave. "Serenity, we need to talk." Endymion stopped her, bringing everyone's attention to them. "We have nothing to talk about." Serenity replied simply, as she felt her hand grasp the doorknob. "Yes, we do." Endymion insisted, walking over and prying her hand off the handle. But instead of letting go, he held her hand in his own, and Serenity felt herself wishing he would pull her into his arms. She shook the thought away. Serenity pulled her hand away and glared at him. Blue clashed with blue and Minako later swore that lightening had flashed between them. "What is going on, Serenity?" Endymion asked softly. Serenity's eyes filled with tears. The Senshi stood up, warning him. Endymion ignored them. "Why must you continue to run from whatever you are running from?"

"I'm not running from anything. Why must you continue to lie?" Serenity replied coldly. Endymion stared at her shocked. She had never used that tone with him. He grew frustrated. "I'm not lying about anything! What are you going on about?" He cried out angrily. Rei stepped forward. "This discussion is ended. Goodnight, Endymion." Serenity said. She clasped onto the handle more tightly, and when he did not protest, pulled open the door and walked out. The door shut moments later.

***

Serenity stalked to her bedchambers, anger radiating from her. She was no longer upset, nor was she going to cry about it until she was all dried up. No, right now, she was just pissed off. 'Of all the things to play, he had to play innocent, didn't he?' Serenity argued, her anger clearly showing. "He just makes me so mad!" She yelled out, not caring who heard her. She came to her room and practically forced the door open, then slammed it shut once she was inside. And then she counted to ten. "1… 2… I'm not going to let him get to me… 3… 4… 5… 6… Ooh! He just makes me so mad sometimes! 7… 8… 9… 10!" When Serenity had reached 10, she found with satisfaction, that she wasn't as angry. 'Much better.' She sighed, and fell onto her bed with a soft thud. "What I need is revenge." She sighed, closing her eyes…

10 minutes later, Serenity's eyes snapped open and she smiled. "Perfect!"
