Chapter 9

"Sir, the baby was born," a man with short brown hair reported when he walked up to his master.

"Good, It's time for Beryl and Metalia to die," A voice replied and walked out of the room.

"You will be mine, Serenity," the voice laughed in to the air.

-

"Soon it is time for them to find out the truth."

"Are they ready?"

"Yes."

"Are they going to take it well?"

"They will not have time to, with the events after that."

"Diamond wants the throne."

"And Serenity."

"But the eight guardians are to protect her, as of the two Princes."

"Let us hope that they will succeed."

-

"How's my baby?" Serena asked Rini as she rocked her to sleep.

Two days had passed since her birth. Even though she was still weak, Serena's powers had come in handy, so she wasn't bedridden, thank goodness. But she was still getting use to them and testing out what she can or can't do.

"How's my baby?" Darien asked, walking into the room as Serena placed their daughter in the small bed in front of their bed.

Raye walked in, carrying a huge slab of chocolate. "Here's the chocolate you wanted," she said, handing it to her.

"Thanks." Serena grabbed the huge slab and took a bite.

"Sweetheart, do you really need to eat all that chocolate?" Darien asked as Raye placed a blacket on Rini.

"If you say I am getting fat, you can sleep putside tonight," Serena joked as Darien mouth dropped open.

"But honey, it's Monday and we always make lo..." he didn't get to finish because Serena hit him in the ribs.

"Darien," Serena replied as Raye started to laugh.

"You guys have a time when you do it? Why?" she asked moving her eyebrows up.

"What about you and Jadeite? Haven't you two made love?" asked Serena teasingly.

"Yes, but we don't set a certain time," Raye said, flushing.

"You and Jadeite? So that's where he's be sneaking to!"

"Well, everybody's pairing up, too! Mina's been with Malachite, Lita with Nethlyte and Amy with Zoicite. Even Luna is with someone- Artemis. So it's natural for me to be him."

"Luna and Artemis!" Darien yelped.

"Shh, you'll wake Rini."

"So, what's this about a schedule?"

"Well," Darien said as he grabbed Serena's hand and stepped out of the tent, just to make sure not to wake the baby. "It's because of- well, um- uh- Serena you tell her."

Serena rolled her eyes as Raye bursted into laughter at her brother's stuttering. "Good grief," Serena muttered. She was about to explain when Diamond and his men rode up.

"It's about time I found you!" he yelled at Serena.

"What are you doing here, you monster?" Serena screamed and slapped him across the face. By then, the entire camp came running up to see the commotion. Many gasped when they saw Princess Serenity slap King Diamond over the face. And isn't he suppose to be sick and bedridden?

"Do you wish everyone here to know what you did to my family and to PRINCE ENDYMION AND PRINCESS RAYEANNA'S " Serena snapped forgetting they didn't know about their past.

"What do you know?" he snapped.

"That their father was king until you killed him when they where three and one, so you could be king. Then you kicked their mother and them out of the palace. You know that Endymion is suppose to be KING and not you," Serena said, getting really mad.

"Oh and another thing, I know you killed my father. You and my father were best of friends. Then you became jealous when she found out she was praganat with me and my twin brother, so you got your parents to make my mother marry you.

"When you found out she won't not marry you, you had my father sent away and killed. My mother never knew what you did so she married you so I could have a father as well as my brother. But you made a deal with Metalia, her jealous best friend to give her the throne so her daughter could be come queen, only if she killed my mother.

"Which she glady did. You had my brother sent away because you wanted only me for some reason. Later you found out my grandparents would not give the throne to you so you made a document saying if they died you get the throne. Then you killled my grandparents and locked me away for years so you could give Beryl my birthright.

Diamond was furious to find out his secrets were no longer well, scret. "Either way, you will be my bride," he yelled. He grabbed her and rode away. The other men quickly followed

-

Endymion was shocked to find out his past, but quickly grabbed a horse and rode after him. All ten guardians rode after him, followed by Travis.

-

They've been riding hard for a good part of an hour. Serena was still struggling.

"Let me go!" She yelled.

"Never. I am after all, your future husband."

"No. I'm already married and happily too, I might add."

Diamond sneered. "What, to that boy?"

"He's more of a man than you are!" Serena was mad. "Now, let me go!"

"Why should I?"

"Because if you don't, I'll make you!"

"You're trying to threaten me. How cute."

"Why you pompus, imbecile. I-"

Just then, the others caught up. There was a battle. Diamond tried to leave, but Serena had finally remembered her powers and made him unable to move. Finally, Darien and the others won. There were no casualties or serious injuries. All ten of them had been practicing fighting hard during the nine month period she was pregnant.

"You witch! I can't move! What did you do to me? How dare you? I'm your king!"

"You're not king," Serenity said quietly. "You've stolen two thrones, both mine and Endymion's. And for that, you must pay." A spark of light appeared and Diamond faded away to the music of his tortured screams.

Everyone gaped at Serenity. During that time, her faerie symbol, the moon mark, had appeared and her outfit had changed. Instead on a rough peasant dress, she was wearing a white silk gown with gold stitching. Her hair was even longer, piling around her feet, even though it was in 'meatballs', and now was gold with silver streaks. Her eyes took on a silvery blue tint. A silver crown rested on her head.

Endymion broke the silence. "Wow, Sere, you look beautiful."

She smiled. "Thank you, love."

"So, let's get back, okay?" Travis said.

"Fine." Serenity blinked and her fancy outfit and crown replaced by another silk dress, but not as fancy and flowers in her hair. Her hair. It was still just as long and silvery, as was her eyes. Her moon mark also stayed.

"Uh, so let's go."

They climbed the horses and set off for the camp.

"So how are we going to explain your hair without telling them of your powers?" Mina asked.

"We could say that Diamond took me to a witch and had her change the way I look so you won't reconize me, but you interupted her, so this is how I turned out. We could say that she couldn't get the spell off," Serena said.

"Good idea."

Just then there was a rustle coming from the bushes and a voice called out, "In the name of the king, what is your business?"

-

Alan had been quiet since Ann disappeared, but when he saw Diamond capture Serena, he became green with envy. 'How can such a old man succeed when I can't?' He thought. He decided to capture Serenity for himself.

¡¡

Cliffhanger! See if you can guess who the mysterious voice is. (No, it's not Alan.)

Note: About that part with Serena forgetting to use her powers, remember that she only had them for two days now and with Rini and everything, she'd be forgetful, even if it's such a big deal.

A lot of people seemed to be after Serena, right? And keep an eye out for Diamond! He's not completely gone! Now press the button! Review!

Ja!
