"Robert is not your superior. I am!" Darien's tone was comanding. It caused her to shiver. She had never heard him talk like that.
"Forgive us Endymoin. Sometimes we forget ourselves." came Gregory's hastey reply.
"It's alright." Darien's voice had returned to normal. Her curiosity was getting the better of her, and she felt herself leaning toward the vent, straining to hear more."How has everything been since I've been on leave?" he asked casually.
"Alright." came Jean Claude's reply. He recieved an elbow from Gregory.
"Almost perfectly." Gregory covered. Darien gave him a searching look.
"What's happend?"
"Nothing." the two chimed in unison.
"I'm going in tomorrow. I'll check this out for myself."
"But Endymoin, your wife would become suspicious, would she not?" Jean Claude's nervous laughter created a wildfire in Serenity's mind.
'What are they talking about? I thought Darien was in his father's business. He's a leader of something else? I must find out. I'll follow him tomorrow."
But Darien didn't leave the estate during the day. At night, when he was convinced she was asleep, he slipped from the bed and hurriedly got dressed. Making sure to be as quiet as possible, he crept downstairs, and slid the door open gently, so that it would not creak. He ran to the stables where he saddled his horse and galloped off into the night. He didn't bother to look back towards the house, for he thought he was scott free. If he had, he would have seen a light go on.
Serenity jumped from the bed, hurryingly slipping on her black dress she had hidden under the bed. Lacing up her black boots she pulled her hair into a high ponytail, and tied a black ribbon in it. After securing the black cloack around her shoulders, she ran downstairs and out toward the stable. Lightning was ready to be saddled and was happy to be out. She hadn't been ridden in a very long time. She sped through the night, quick as lightning and silently. Serenity followed Darien through town, over the bridge, and into the forest. When he entered the forest, she was tempted to pull back. She didn't like the forests in this part. It was the home of the wolves and other wild animals. Although she loved animals, it was better to be in the daylight while they were resting, and not in the night when they were hunting. He dismounted his horse after a few minutes, and Serenity made a quick decision not to do the same, but ducked her head low, in order to avoid tree branches. Suddenly, she had lost him. Silently cursing, she searched in the darkness, until she gave up, claiming it was futile without nightvision. Dismounting now, her shoes came in contact with the soft grass, wet with dew for the morning to come. Slowly, she turned in a full circle, scanning the darkness for Darien. He wasn't to be found. A silent sigh escaped from her lips, and she started back toward her horse. A snapping sound made her freeze. Darien had stepped on a twig. She turned slowly and saw the outline of his tall form moving through the bushes. As she followed him, her dress snagged several times. He never saw her though. Finally, she saw a torch. She paused and ducked behind a tree as he looked around to make sure no one was there, before opening the door that was next to the torch, and going in. She followed once more. A long spiralling staircase that seemed to go on forever drained Serenity of her strength. She was thankful when they came to a door. Holding her breath, she hid once more as he opened the door, and went in. After she was convinced the coast was clear, she silently slipped through. She cried out when she was pulled roughly out of the shadows, but immediately, a hand covered her mouth.
