Love Affair: Chapter 2

Endymion's P.O.V

I shot a hot energy blast at the foul pet cat, Artemis. Who do hell does he think he is…. he's a mere cat! I made sure he was dead…. ha…that should do it!

"STOP!! You bastard! Stop that!" yelled the blonde.

I stopped and looked down. My God…she was beautiful! She had the most piercing blue eyes…it was so clear. It was like into could read her soul. I was breath taken…why didn't I see it sooner? Her hair was so soft and was just gorgeous. Her hair reminded me of the sun…a beautiful gold wrapped into little buns at the top. She was dressed in a flowing elegant gown that gave her a sense of innocence and purity. Unlike Beryl, who was wearing a skimpy tight purple dress, it made her look sexy…but at the same time trashy with no class. Serenity was beautiful, a site I didn't want to run away from. Yet, her screams frightened me…I felt as if I was going to break the fragile princess. I saw her eyes water…why is she crying…it's only a fucking cat!

"You evil bastard!! You killed him! It was me you were threatening to kill and you…" she couldn't finish her sentence.

I felt her small fist bang on me. I felt this weird feeling inside…sorrow? Guilt? What was it? I didn't understand why I felt that…but I did. Could it be that this princess made me feel this bad? I felt immense guilt wash over me…I felt almost sorry for the princess.

"He was like my father and…and…you killed him…you sick son of a bitch…he's dead because of you…you murderer!" she yelled hysterical.

She tried to run to the cat but I pulled her back. I never knew he was like family to her…I never knew he meant that much to her. I shook my head, why do I care? Even if I knew I would have stilled killed that little vermin. Would I? Why the hell am I questioning myself…I was even planning to kill Serenity! I looked back into her eyes. I caused her the pain she felt right now…usually I would be dancing in joy…but I just felt bad for her. I was beginning to regret my actions.

"Just kill me! You wanted me dead…SO KILL ME! I wanted to die long time ago…so do us both a favour and kill me!" she yelled.

What was I hearing? She wasn't pleading for safety…she was asking for me to kill her! I saw the pain; I saw the suffering...but there was something that was there long before I took away her precious Artemis.

"Shhhh, princess, don't cry," I said comforting her. Why I was comforting her was still a blur and I still don't know why I did it. I was planning to kill her but now…I couldn't. One look into her eyes and I just couldn't. She was a pure angel. I thought she was everything I was looking for in a woman…my goodness she shouldn't be a princess but a Goddess. I felt this need for her…like we belonged to each other. I took her by the waist and teleported us both to earth leaving the frantic Moon. I didn't give a fuck about anyone on the moon or anyone on any planet…shit, I don't even care about the people on my planet! All I cared about was my beautiful angel.

Once we got to my destination I saw her suddenly pull away.

"Where are we?" she demanded still furious with me.

"Where on the planet Earth," I said.

She looked at me with shock…than she fainted collapsing into my arms.

~3 hours later~ (Serenity's P.O.V)

I woke up groggy and tired. What happened? Did I just faint?

"Nice to see that you awake princess, you got me worried there," I heard. I looked up and there he was standing in front of me. I gasped in shock, I was in a cold, dark, smelly dungeon.

"Get me out of here you asshole!" I yelled.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk…I thought you were a real princess, princesses don't use such foul language," he commented.

I ran up to him and spat on his face. He frowned but merely wiped off.

"Well aren't you a feisty girl."

"What did you do to the Moon?" I demanded.

"Nothing…yet," he said, heartless.

"What do you mean by 'yet'?"

"What I mean is, if I don't get the crystal…you will all parish! I'll even make sure you're the first one dead!!!"

I looked into his eyes…did he really mean what he said? I couldn't tell…his eyes were beautiful, but unreadable…I couldn't see through his heartless exterior. His soul was closed of from my eyes…what was he thinking…I couldn't see it? I shouldn't even care! He was murderer…that's all I knew. Evil contained his heart…fear was no factor to him…but only the joy of the many deaths around him! I sat down on the hard floor and wept…

"Go ahead…kill me…like I said before…I wanted to die long time ago! In fact, I was already dead…there's nothing to live for any more…just kill me!" I screamed tears flooding down my cheeks.

"I would, but I need the crystal…once you're dead Selene will never hand it to me…but once I do…I will rule the entire universe!" Endymion spoke. And with that, he left me in tears.

*Back to Endymion's P.O.V*

I walked out of the dungeon with regret. I didn't mean half the things I said. Killing her? Complete lie…the day I'd do that. I had sometime to think about my feelings…hate her? Not close. Despise her? Not entirely. Kill her? Never! I was now confused. What did I feel for her then? I wanted to kill every single person on the moon…in fact I still do…but my unknown feelings for Serenity was driving me insane!

"How hard is this! Get the crystal…kill every mother fucker and rule everything!" I yelled to myself.

I felt a pair of warm uninviting hands creep up around my waist.

I sighed, "Beryl, I don't have time to be with you. Besides, when did you get here?" I asked fed up with her clinging nature.

"I thought you'd be happy that I was finally back, considering you ditched me with a lot of angry guardians…oh well, they were no match for me," she said in a snobby tone.

"So when are we going to kill the fair princess, huh?" she asked.

"Not till I get the crystal," I lied.

"Once we do, we'll be the rulers of everything!" she laughed.

Part of the agreement was for her to be my Queen. She was powerful and I felt a great deal of lust for her…but I'd never nor did I ever love her. We fooled around in bed and she believes I love her. Bullshit. She assumes too much. Once I'm king, I'd probably use her as my little toy…and I'll even let her rule parts of the universe…but she will never be my queen.

I walked off leaving her to dwell in her little, petty thoughts. I went to fetch food in the palace kitchen. Not for myself, but for Serenity…she must feel really hungry. Do I care for her? Maybe. The feeling came to me unknowingly and all so very new. I never cared for anyone…but for Serenity…it was different.

I went back down to the dungeon with some meat and bread. I wasn't going to pamper my hostage…but I really wanted to.

"Here, eat," I said.

She didn't look up…she just kept staring at the wall.

"Serenity, you must eat."

No reply.

"You're still upset," I said.

A tear ran down her face. I looked into her eyes and felt her anguish and her pain. I made her feel such pain and I couldn't take it back. I wanted to change the past so badly. I wished I never came to the moon. If I didn't, I wouldn't have caused her this pain and I wouldn't be haunted and mesmerized by her blue eyes.

"Look Serenity, if I knew I was going to hurt you like that…then I wouldn't have done it…but you're pet-…"

"HE WASN'T A PET! HE WAS MY GAURDIAN AND LOYAL FAMILY MEMBER!" she yelled.

"I'm sorry I took his life away," I whispered.

"Artemis was only trying to protect me. You killed him…that's unforgivable…so go away." She whispered rage coursed through her body.

"If I could change the past, I would. I would return Artemis back to you…but I can't. I have a mission…that's to get the crystal, kill you're people and rule the universe."

"You want revenge on my people for the pain your planet started?" she asked.

"Your mother killed the my parents, my hope! I will avenge their deaths." I yelled.

"That was long ago Endymion. Can't you let it go?"

"Never. I'm sorry you went through what I went through but at least you understand my anger," I said.

She sighed. She did understand but she still hated me. I didn't like the fact that she hated me. At least she called me Endymion instead of bastard, asshole, son of a bitch etc.

"Is Earth as beautiful as it seems in the books?" she asked.

"Why?"

"All my life I wanted to see the planet Earth…I think I fell in love with it," she said still dead inside "but then again, you as a ruler…it must be a terrible planet."

I was quite angry now! Planet earth is the most wonderful planet. I may not care for anything, but the Earth is one of my prized possessions. I made sure my people were happy...hmmm…maybe I do care for more things then I thought. It was the Moon that I wanted to destroy!

"Look here, Earth means everything to me! I may not care much for your people but I care for mine…so shut your face and eat," I huffed.

She noticed the food and ate quietly. My anger was washed away…seeing her eat was the cutest site ever. She'd take the smallest bites and the biggest gulps.

"The earth is a beautiful place. Personally the roses are what I truly love…it only grows on this planet," I said off into my own world.

"Roses…" she whispered to herself.

I knew instantly that she too loved them…it wasn't just a stupid flower but something unique and special. I handed her a blood red rose from thin air.

"Here princess, for you," he said.

She looked at it mesmerized and was captivated with curiosity. She forgot who I was, who I am, and what I did because all of a sudden I heard her whisper, "thank you".

I saw her face become more happier so I left, not wanting to ruin her moment.

~Serenity's P.O.V~

It was beautiful. The rose he gave was more enchanting then the one I found on the moon. It was more red, more softer and it was perfectly thorn less. I thought the rose was one of the best gifts I ever received. I brushed it against my face feeling the soft petals on my nose and cheeks.

Endymion seemed nicer then when he threatened everyone on the moon. Maybe it's just a cover up, a façade, to hide his true identity. I thought I saw the true Endymion just now. He was more of a gentlemen then I thought. I felt sorry for him. He lost his family at such a young age…because of us. I imagined myself without any neither family nor friends…god that must be hard. I would have gone heartless. I looked at rose feeling pity for Endymion. It was obvious he had no friends…maybe girlfriends. The thought of him having a girlfriend made me jealous…why? The first time I laid eyes on him, I felt confusion, passion and lust. The man was just hansom and charming…I couldn't resist it. His black and red cape looked dashing and his black armour made him look so damn strong. I felt guilty….

…guilty in the fact I was falling for the enemy.
