**********************************************
Serenity was afraid. She was all alone, in total darkness, with a great evil chasing her. She saw her family, friends, and Thomas as she ran by, and she pleaded with them to help her. They all either turned away or scoffed, and her running grew more frantic as she felt the evil being catch up to her. She screamed as the thing grabbed her from behind, but someone grabbed her and pulled her away from the being. Serenity looked up into her savior's face, and she saw Endymion's face. "Looks like she's finally regaining consciousness," a male voice floated in and out of her mind. "What the hell did you use on her?!" A rough, yet familiar voice also made its way into her dream. "Just what we usually use. Why, are you getting soft on us, Endymion?" the first voice mocked. "Endy..." Serenity whispered, and finally opened her eyes. She looked around for a second, seeing that she was in what looked like a jail cell. It was cold, too. She shivered, because she couldn't help herself. "Welcome to the Dark Realm, Princess Serenity." She saw a man with dark red hair and... Endymion?! Her eyes widened in shock, and the red haired man laughed. "I am Shuten, Princess. We shall be your... keepers while you are with us." "We?" Serenity was confused. "Why, Endymion and me, of course." She gasped and turned her head to look at him. "Endy?" she asked quietly, not believing a word Shuten was saying. Endy turned away and said roughly, "You're too trusting, Your Highness. Don't believe every tale you hear." She gasped again, and Shuten laughed; a cruel, cold sound that made shivers run up and down your spine. "So, Princess." Shuten made a mock bow. "Is there anything you require?" "What could you possibly get out of kidnapping me?" She spat the question and Shuten, although her eyes were on Endymion the entire time. "We want your Kingdom. The Dark Realm wants to rule the entire universe," he added when he saw Serenity's confused look. Shuten gave Endymion a stare. "You did an excellent job of completing your mission. You may have some potential after all." Endymion only grunted, staring at the floor. "Well, I'll leave you two alone so you can say your goodbyes." With that, Shuten walked out of the cell, slamming the door behind him. Endymion didn't look up until he was sure that Shuten was gone. "I trusted you." Those three words made him flinch. "You're too trusting, Your Highness. As I said, don't believe every story you hear." "You lied to me. Who are you, really?!" He finally looked at her. "My name's Kazahiko Endymion." "And why should I believe you?" He sighed and looked away again. After a few minutes, Serenity finally voiced the question she had been wanting to ask him ever since she found out the truth. "Why?" "My mission. If I hadn't kidnapped you, I could have been a bloody mess on the floor of..." He trailed off when he saw the glare she was giving him. "So, you did this just to save your own skin?" "Doesn't everyone do things they don't want to do to save their own skin?" he asked, exasperated. The silence once again came between them. "There was no sister, was there?" Serenity finally asked quietly. Endymion sighed and closed his eyes. "Oh, there was." He answered back just as quietly, opening his eyes again. The look in them would have frightened people. His eyes were cold, filled with pain. "Here, let me untie you." Serenity looked down and saw for the first time that she was tied to a chair. He came closer, but she shook her head. "Don't. Just don't." Endymion stepped back, surprised. "I'm not even sure if I want to see you ever again." Serenity continued. After a minute, Endymion pulled out a knife, cut the ropes, and stepped towards the door to the cell. "As you wish, Your Highness." He stepped through the door and shut it with a loud "clang!" As soon as he was gone, Serenity wept, her mind telling her that she was crying for her family and friends, not that traitor. Her heart told her differently.
