Defying Destiny
Ch. 4 Beautiful Strangers
"Where are we?" Jupiter asked as she glanced towards
entrance of the narrow passageway they'd landed in.
Ami narrowed her eyes as she glanced around.
"Detransform, before someone sees us."
Jupiter nodded as she became Makoto once more, brushing
at her dress slightly as she walked towards the entrance of the alley.
She gasped when she saw the large city come into view. It was
gorgeous. They seemed to be in the middle of town square, and,
though it was night, she could imagine the gala of people that would
arrive in the morning to sell their goods. The towering buildings were
of a foreign architecture that was breath taking. And, as she glanced upwards,
she was amazed once more. For there, on a hill in the middle of the city
stood a palace that seemed to shimmer, even in the moonlight.
Ami smiled as she glanced at her freind, "It is beautiful isn't it?"
Makoto nodded mutely in agreement. "What city is this?"
Ami smiled, "The Golden Kingdom... capital city of all Earth."
she said, emphasizing by spreading her hands wide. "This is where we will receive
help to get Serenity back."
Makoto blinked, obviously confused, "How? We can't tell them who
we are. If they knew that people from the Silver Alliance came to Earth, it would
break all treaty agreements with them. War could break out. Especially if we tell
them our princess is lost on their planet."
Ami smiled deviously, "Who said we have to tell them who we are?
All we have to do is tell them that we are of noble blood from the the... let's see...
the Northern Kingdom, and that, while passing through the city, our freind's horse
ran off during the storm last night and we need help to find her."
"Storm? How do you know there was a storm last night?" Makoto
asked.
"I've been tracking the weather around this area since Rei and Mina
left, and it just so happens there was a horrific storm last night." Ami said simply.
Makoto laughed aloud, "I should have known you would be doing
something like that. You _think_of_everything... Come on, we still have a ways
walk to the palace."
**
"Help!" Serenity screamed as her small fingers gripped to the edge of
the cliff. She gasped as her fingers slipped a little in the damp, muddy earth. She
was doomed. She stifled a whimper, telling herself to be strong; strong like her
mother.
Calming herself slightly, Serenity tried to pull her other arm up to the
edge. It was useless. Her left arm, which hung limply at her side, was broken.
She bit her lip, trying to ignore the pain as she tried to lift her arm again. Once
more she cried out, this time in the anguish of defeat.
She closed her eyes slowly, wishing for a miracle. It came. Somewhere,
in the distance, Serenity heard the soft sound of hooves. Coughing softly, she called
out desperately, "Help, help me!!"
**
"Whoa..." Endymion whispered as he slowed his steed. He could have
sworn he'd heard a cry. It was probably a night creature he thought, wondering what
his mother would say if she knew he was out in the mountains, at night, AND without
escort... heaven forbid he take care of himself! He shook his head slightly as he started
once again to go forward.
"Help, help me!!"
Once again Endymion stopped. That was no night creature. "Who's out
there?!" he shouted into the night.
Silence. He was beginning to think himself daft when the stranger answered
again.
"O-over here... By the cliff, hurry!"
His eyebrows furrowed. He was close enough now to know it was a girl
and that her voice was thick with desperation. He galloped towards the area. Stopping, he
jumped from his horse and ran to the edge. There, a few feet from him, was a battered
looking girl.
"Hurry..." she whispered again, urgently.
"Reach for my hand." he commanded.
She lifted her left hand slightly and screeched in pain. "I can't. My... arms
broken."
He bit his lip, trying not to swear infront of a lady. "Alright." he muttered as
he lowered his body closer to her. "Then I'll come to you."
Once he was down as far as he could go, Endymion reached out his hand, he
could almost reach her.
"Alright, now grab my hand." he said again.
"I-I can't... my arm." she whispered.
"Let go of the ledge, I'll catch you. You must trust me."
She shook her head, almost in tears. "No, I can't. I can't."
"Yes you can. Come on." He looked down into her eyes and, without any
words exchanged they both knew they could trust one another. She let go and with one
agonizing reach, Endymion grabbed her.
He pulled her up, exhausted. She was trembling. He looked at her and smiled.
"Hello." was all he said.
She smiled back. A smile of innocence, of an untainted beauty that mesmerized
him.
Clearing her throat, Serenity blushed. "I am Sereni-" she stopped. She couldn't
tell him her name. It would make all sorts of problems for her mother. "Seren, but my
freinds call me Sere." she finished, smiling at the shorter version of her name.
He smiled back at her, extremely happy she didn't know who he was. "Well
Seren, you may call me Endy."
**
"Are you sure you saw someone walking around down here?" Jadeite asked as
towards the area Zoicite had claimed the people were.
"There!" Zoicite said as he pointed to the two figures that were too far ahead of
them to tell who they were.
"Stop in the name of the Golden Kingdom!" Jadeite commanded. To his dismay,
they didn't listen. Instead they ran the other way.
He frowned, "I'll show them!" he said as he through an attack at the two fleeing
intruders.
**
"Gods I wish I could transform and kick these guys ass!" Rei yelled as she ran
from the shouting guards.
"Well," Minako said as she panted, "that would defeat the purpose of being
undercover."
Rei nodded in agreement, "Right but still... ATTACK!" she screamed as she saw
the ball of power coming towards them. She dove as the massive ball of energy barley missed
her head. She was gonna kill someone.
Minako crouched down in the bushes as she listened to the approaching attackers.
One was being yelled at... the one with short blonde hair, and the other was having a hell of
a time yelling at him.
"Are you insane?" Zoicite screamed at his comrade. "We couldn't even tell who
they were and you fired at them! It could have been the queen for all we know."
"I doubt it but, yes I guess it could be." Jadeite said, not really paying any mind
to his friend as he searched for the two intruders.
Rei frowned as she lifted herself from the very large mud puddle she had landed in.
Wiping the mud from her eyes, Rei glanced at the two men approaching. It was the smug
one with the short hair, she thought as her fist balled up. He's gonna get it.
Jadeite never saw what hit him. But someone definitley did, right across his left
cheek bone. He moaned, slowly realizing that he was no longer on his feet but sitting in a
very large mud puddle..
He looked up and gasped. It was a girl... no, a woman.
"How dare you! You almost blew my head off you jerk. Giving us no warning...
that is the most dishonorable, disgusting thing I have..."
"You must excuse my freind." Minako interrupted. "She has a very bad temper."
Zoicite blinked, and smiled. "Well, Jadeite's never gonna live this down. Being
beaten by a girl after trying to blow her up!" He laughed, shaking his head.
"I'm...glad...you...think...it's...funny." Rei whispered as she frowned, trying to
keep her temper in check
. "Forgive me milady, but if you knew Jadeite the way I do YOU would think it
funny too."
Minako blinked at the name, "Jadeite? Lord General Jadeite of the East
Kingdom?"
"Yes Milady." Jadeite said reluctantly, rubbing his jaw.
"Then you must be..."
"Lord General Zoicite, at your service." he said nodding his head slightly.
Rei and Minako shared glances. This was the perfect way to get inside the
palace!
"Well," Rei said as she chipped the half dried mud from her now ruined
dress. "certainly you have somewhere I can get cleaned up?"
Jadeite blushed slightly, "Of course, Miss...?"
She glanced at Minako, not knowing what to say. Can I give him my real
name? she thought. Minako nodded "Lady Rei and this is my freind Lady Minako."
"Lady Rei," Jadeite said softly, "please forgive me."
She frowned slightly, wanting to get out from under this man's alluring
gaze. "I might forgive you if you would be so kind as to get me some CLEAN clothes."
"Yes of course. Let me take you to the palace." Jadeite said while Minako
and Rei shared a silent smile of triumph.
**
"Milady..." a servant said softly as she entered the hot house.
A middle aged woman, not yet old, but far from young, looked up as she
gracefully set aside her gardening sheers. She smiled gently as she recognized the face
and brushed a few stubborn strands of raven and silver hair aside. "Ahh, Jaclyn, what
is it?"
Jaclyn smiled, "It seems, milady, that there is some confusion in the foyer."
Her eyebrow arched in a gentle fashion, "Oh?" she asked as she removed
her gardening gloves. "Then we must go and straighten it out."
**
"You are the most arrogant... snob I have ever met!" the scream rang out
through the hall.
"Oh? Well you are the rudest..." Jadeite droned on and on as Zoicite rolled
his eyes.
"Is she always like this?" he asked, sarcastically.
To his suprise and horror, Minako nodded, sadly serious, "Oh yes... quite often
infact. Yours?" she asked referring to the now bickering general.
Zoicite just nodded.
"What is going on here?!?" called a regal voice from the other side of the room.
In a few short seconds everything in the room went deadly quiet and all eyes flew
to the figure standing in the door jam.
Jadeite turned an interesting shade of pink as he kneeled and bowed his head.
Zoicite swore and mimicked his comrade's movements.
Jadeite looked up at the fragile woman, then back down at his polished black
boots. "Your Majesty I... I mean..." he sighed, "There is no excuse in my behavior. Do not
blame the lady for whom I was arguing with. I provoked her and she simply responded."
Rei looked down at the man now kneeling in respect. The corners of her mouth
twitched in a smile, finding it strange that a man with such a fowl tongue could take the blame
for something that was not totally his fault... and all to save her the embarrassment. This time
she did smile and then blushed as she realized she had been staring at his man for far too long.
Biting her lip, Rei opened her mouth to say she was partially to blame, but was interrupted by
the earthen queen.
"Well, at least my generals have some dignity. Now, Jaclyn has informed me that
these ladies are in need of some fresh clothes." Glancing at Rei she smiled slightly, "I see she was
right. Take them to one of the guest quarters. They may stay as long as they like... and let's hope
that this does not happen again."
**
Serenity blushed as she thought of her compromising position. Sitting on the lap of
a man while ridding on horseback... It was shameful. She giggled softly, it was heaven. This
stranger... Endy he had said, had taken her breath away. He was like a prince in a fairytale
swooping down and saving the damsel in distress. And the damsel was her this time!
"Uhh, Lady Seren. I must confess something." Endymion said as he looked down
at this girl's blue eyes. Her hair, the same color of Kunzite's, was now half down from its previous
hairstyle. Only the gods knew what hairstyle, but he could tell it must have been intricate. She
was obviously royal... yet she knew nothing about him. Who was this... this angel?
Serenity blinked, wondering what he was thinking. "Yes milord?"
Endymion's attention snapped back into place as he realized he hadn't told her
what he meant to. "Oh, um... sorry. I don't know where you're from, but you don't recognize
me do you?"
Serenity bit her lip, "No... Was I supposed to?"
Endymion laughed softly, wishing he could keep her from knowing so she wouldn't
treat him like some sort of god. He sighed, "I should have told you before... I'm, uhh my real
name is Endymion."
She frowned, was that supposed to be important?
Endymion saw the blank expression on her face and sighed... where has this girl
been, the MOON? "You know, Prince Endymion of the Golden Kingdom... heir to all of Earth?"
"Ohhhh." Serenity said softly, now wishing she had paid more attention in her
Earthen History class. Suddenly, her eyes flew wide as she realized what that meant. "Wait.
You told me you were taking me to your house... The palace?"
He nodded, "We're almost there... see?" He said as he pointed to the large palace
on top of the hill his horse had just begun to climb.
Oh gods, please help me. Serenity prayed as she realized she'd just delivered herself
into the hands of the enemy. If they found out... if they find out. Serenity's world spun as the
implications of what would happen blazed out of control in her head. The events of the day
seemed to be almost too much to handle.
She shook her head violently, whispering a soft"No" before fading out of
consciousness.
Endymion looked down in shock as he watched the woman swoon. "Well." he said
as he sighed and shook his head. "She took that well."
**
Endymion sighed as he picked up the young girl and handed his horse over to a
servant. How was he going to explain this to his mother? Shaking his head, he looked down
at the young girl he carried. By the gods, he never expected her to faint. Pushing the door to
the palace open, Endymion was suprised to find a number of people in the foyer... including his
mother.
"Endymion? Endymion! Who in the name of all the gods are you carrying? Is there
never a sane moment in this household?" the queen said hotly as she stared in shock at her only
son.
Minako and Rei both turned to look at the man at the door and gasped.
"Serenity." Rei whispeared softly so only Minako could hear.
Minako sighed and shook her head in defeat. "This assignment is getting... intresting."
Zoicite and Jadeite looked at eachother. Jadeite smirked and simply said, "I never
knew this many beautiful women wondered around the forest at night!"
Zoicite sighed and shrugged, "I give up."
