Chapter 29: Switch:

I was quickly rushed away into the darkness of an open room, the person that stood before me was wearing all black, and that was all I could make out at this point.

"Where am I?" I could tell it was a male but that was it. His voice was a bit shaky and by the shadow, I saw when he moved very frequently that he was nervous as well.

"First of all, who are you?" I backed into what I thought was the door making sure to put as much distance as I could from this being as possible until some identification was known.

"You answer my question first. Where am I?" I tried to see threw the darkness to a face, a marking, anything but there was nothing?

"You are in my kingdom. I rule here and you are." What I had just told wasn't entirely true but I would rather this person fear me instead of the all-powerful Nehernia for once.

"My name is." The door open and light rushed in like an avalanche and when I turned around to see whom I was facing there was no one there.

"Lady Catrina what are you doing in the dark? Nonetheless, Lord Torres must speak to you. He is reporting and wishes to share words with you by the communicator in your chamber.

"Very well then Han leave me." The girl with the short orange hair and servant dress soon vanished and I began to glance around the room, and once again, there was no one.

"Torres my love how are things?" I look into his blurred image on my communicator.

"Things seem to be going well and there is no speculation as to our deeds so we are in the clear as far as that goes. I am trying to befriend the people you called your friends here to see what I get from them, I think they will be useful. I get this odd feeling, energy from each other them but it's not as strong as I felt. I will return to you soon my queen. Have you missed me greatly?" I felt something inside of me that made me laugh and smile at the same time. Almost like I had found something inside of me that only Torres had touched and just hearing his voice made it swell again.

"I have missed you tremendously. Will you hurry home to me soon?" I leaned closer to the screen so they I could see his eyes and his smile.

"I miss you as well and I will hurry for you. How is our captive?" He was referring to Sailor Moon. Why would he bring her up besides, who cares?

"She is fine and obeying the orders granted to her. Are you well?" The subject of her just made me feel some sort of emotion like I shouldn't let him pay too much attention to her but why should I feel this way and why do I?

"I am fine love. I must take care of some things so I must go but I will contact you again tonight. I love you." Those were the words that I wanted to hear and secretly I didn't which meant I had to wait for a few hours more to hear them again and then he would be gone.

"I love you too and be careful." He smiled one more time and nodded his head in agreement and the screen went dark.

About two hours our time, I went to see Nehernia but to my surprise she wasn't in her chambers nor the Animates. I found myself in her throne room alone and there was the gold and pearl throne before me. Its majestic beauty calling me toward it as my feet began to move and before I knew it I was sitting on the throne.

There was something about it that trapped me and made me feel like there was no way to escape the total sense of power as I sat seeing my future play out in these walls.

I saw two small children, a boy and a girl running after small animals that they had some how been able to sneak in past the guards and myself. I heard the familiar tap of boots and standing at the entrance to the throne room was Torres and in his arms was a baby. Small and fragile but old enough and strong enough to crawl and she were female. He looked at me with such compassion as he stood there watching each one of them do their own creative thing to suffice what they wanted to achieve in the means of playing and slowly he took my side.

We were in royal robes and crowns as he sat next to me saying that I had taken his seat once again and he had to now seat below me but he didn't mind just as long as he was near and I smiled.

"I have never loved you more." He whispered, as we were about to kiss as the two older children looked at us with such faces it made us both laugh, and then the ground shook.

It shook fast and violent under our feet and immediately Torres sprang up to protect the children and to grab hold of the baby. I stood as well looked for a way out as things began to fall and a guard came in and announced, "the Sailor Scouts are attacking my lord and lady, they say they must have their queen back or the kingdom shall fall." Then he disappeared as just before we were all about to get to the doorway there stood the Sailor Scouts. I held onto my youngest child, and Torres held the other two.

"Where is Sailor Moon?" One side in a furious tone but we didn't answer and there was a large flash of light, a scream from myself, and total darkness as the sounds of crashes and explosions echoed threw my mind.

I jumped up back into the empty throne out of my dream and I felt a warm in my hand. I looked down at the crystal compact that I had gotten from Sailor Moon when we were on Earth and it glowed faintly and then began to burn. I threw it to the floor but it didn't break.

"What is your magic? Maybe your keeper will tell me and unlock the truth behind my dream as well." I picked up the crystal compact and marched down the corridor to where Sailor Moon was being held but before I got there, the guards were restraining a man.

"You imposter. You wish to harm Queen Nehernia and the Prince and Princess is that it? What trickery is this!" The guard calmed his noise as I approached. "What is going on here?" I stood behind him trying to look at the figure in black lying on the floor restrained by two guards.

When the guard pulled him from the ground his black hair hung in his face but once I removed it. I saw his eyes, they seemed warm but scared as I noticed his tall frame and what looked like rose peddles on the floor around his feet and then another person blew by me and was caught before there was a chance to escape.

"Who are you?" I looked in his face seeing no sign of recognition until he spoke.

"My name is Endymion. Where am I?" He didn't look familiar to me but I did get a sense that he should and then there was the other. I walked over to him as he fought from being restrained and I pulled back his hair and looked into to Torres' eyes! But there is no way! He is on earth completing a mission and who is the other with him? What is going on?

"Who are you?" My voice was shaky but strong, as he looked me up and down and then directly in my eyes.

"I have no name." He said in more of a sharp tone of anger then in a manner of ignorance.

"What is going on here!" The echo of Nehernia voice was heard from down the corridor as a blast of smoke filled the room but before it had settled the one who I knew or thought to be Torres said into my ear, "Meet me in the darkness of the night and the happiness in your heart tonight. I'll wait for you." Then there was nothing when the smoke cleared and Nehernia stood angry and inquisitive.

Who were those two? What does Torres want with me but it couldn't be him or was it? Shall I meet him and what was he talking about 'the darkness of the night and the happiness of my heart'?
