Ok, some how my computer ate this chapter and I had to retype it. It's not the same as the orriginal, far from it. I tried to copy it exactly though. So i am sorry if it is not as great as it could have been. Please don't kill me! :(

When Serena woke up the next morning it was with a feeling of dread. Slowly she climbed
out of bed and began to dress. She changed into her school uniform that Natia must have
washed the day before. Carefully she separated and twisted her golden hair until it was up
in her normal hair style. Two silky streamers that fell gently to her ankles. Quietly so that
she didn't wake the sleeping Natia up she crept to the door. Poor Natia had been up all
night worrying and if she left before Natia woke up Serena thought she would cause her
less grief.
Umi had awoken and followed at Serenas heels. Serena stepped out into the early
morning sunshine and stretched. It was promising to be a gorgeous day. Not a single cloud
in the sky. To her surprise the two guards that Nikko had assigned to her yesterday were
still there. And they looked as if the hadn't moved a muscle the whole night! She smiled at
them.
"You really don't have to stand, you know. You can sit if you like." Neither one moved.
But they did glance at her from the corner of their eyes.
"I promise I won't run away. Honest." Still no movement. Why wouldn't they rest. They
looked exhausted. Surely they believed her, right? Then she figured it out. Mentally
snapping her fingers she again smiled at them. "I'll let you know when he's coming. I can
tell things like that. Watch." She pointed to a tree nearby. "See that tree? In about five
seconds a small animal with big ears is going to run out from behind it and grab that rock
next to it." Sure enough, five seconds later a very small animal that resembled a rabbit ran
out and snagged the rock.
Seeing this the guards relaxed and slowly sat down on the stairs next to her.
"I'm Serena." She held out her hand to the brunette.
"Camaan." The brown haired giant looked down at the pixie next to him. She was so
small.
Serena turned to the other blond haired guard.
"My name is Jarl, and you madam are absolutely beautiful."
Serena blushed and then gifted them with a genuine smile. "Pleased to meet both of you."
Umi darted to her lap and rubbed her hand for attention.
"That is a very rare pet you have there." Jarl exclaimed looking closely at Umi. "I have
never seen one up close."
"Her name is Umi, and , well she kinda just attached her self to me. She grows on you I
guess."
"If Nikko sees her he will destroy her. You had better hide her somewhere." Camaan
looked around for any sighn of the small scrawny man.
Immediately Serena paled. "Umis, you had best hide yourself in my pocket until it is safe
for you to come out."
Umi looked up at her mistress and seemed to nod. She then began to shrink until she was
the size of Serenas pinky. Now she slipped into the pocket easily.
The threesome talked for a while. And Serena told them of how she had come to the
planet, and how lost she felt. Camaan and Jarl were drawn to her, who wouldn't be she
radiated peace and a warm feeling that grabbed you just so in the heart. Both unknowingly
became protective towards her.
Suddenly her small blond head shot up. "You two better get back to your posts. He's
coming."
Jarl and Camaan jumped up, or as best as two giants could and were standing straight and
looking ahead when Nikko came storming up.
"There you are. I assume that your ready to go? And what is that garment you are
wearing? it's offensive! I can only assume that you wore it to irritate me. Well you
ungrateful trollop," He sneered. "It worked!" Roughly he grabbed her arm and started
towards the forest.
Serena gave a last look at the hut that she had called home for the past two days and
mentally said goodbye. Once agian she was off to a strange place and again she was alone.
It was well past night fall when the small group came to a halt. Nikko finally decided to let
them rest before continuing on.
Serena immediately sat down and took off her shoes and socks. her small feet were
burning and had blisters all over them from the long days walk. The trip had been rough
and more then once she had stumbled and fallen.
Camaan and Jarl set up camp. Once the fire was going they caught a creature and began to
cook it. Serena was denied food and water and Nikko ate more then enough to make up
for her. Camaan looked over towards the small captive and became angered by what he
saw. her outfit was torn and ripped in placed where Nikko had deliberately run her into
sharp bushed and trees. Her hair was now limp and her face smudged with dirt. Even now
though she managed to look pretty.
Jarl was secretly hiding little pieced of food in his pocket to give to her a t a later time. He
was famished and he knew that her small five foot two form was equally hungry. he had
heard her stomach growl more then once on the journey but no complaints left her mouth.
That spoke of inner strength and he respected that.
On the other side of the fire Nikko sat chewing his food angrily. That stupid creature had
the gall to stare at him haughtily. Why wasn't she beaten yet. He had made the trip as hard
as he could and still her head had been high and not once had she begged him to stop.
Damn her! He only had a few miles to go to the castle and he had stopped so that he could
think of a way to have her begging his mercy before they reached the palace. He took in
her smudged face and torn shirt. Her skirt was tattered and he could see her long white
legs curled under it. Lust filled his every being and suddenly he knew how to make her
break. Deliberately throwing the bread over his shoulder so that she could see the wasted
food he stood up.
Serena tensed when Nikko began walking over to her and vowed not to show any fear.
That vow was forgotten though when he grabbed her by the arm and began dragging her
towards the cover of the trees. She glanced back at Jarl ad Camaan. They looked at each
other puzzled. It was the last sight she had of them before the foliage swallowed her and
Nikko up.
Camaan looked over at Jarl. "You don't think he would?"
"No, not even he is stupid enough to do that this close to the palace."
Jarl didn't look convinced though and he stood up at the same time that Camaan did.
In unison they both started after Nikko.
Nikko dragged her aways into the woods before he dropped her roughly on the ground.
"Now you little bitch, we will see if you are still so haughty when I'm done whit you." A
feral gleam entered his eye and Serena inwardly cringed.
She started to back up, but he was on her in seconds. He straddled her hips and grabbed
her hands. Fear shot up her spine.
"I have wanted you all day and now I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget."
He yanked at her short school skirt and tore at her shirt exposing her body to the night air.
The shock wore off and she began to struggle. Violently she twisted and kicked. She
opened her mouth to let out a scream but that only made way for his tongue. It snaked in,
cruelly licking. She gagged, it was so far in her mouth it was almost down her throat. She
bit down , hard. A tangy coppery taste filled her mouth and she knew that she had drawn
blood. He howled and reared up.
"YOU LITTLE WHORE!"
His hand swept down and cracked her head back.
Serena saw stars. Her head had hit something hard and numbly she thought that it must
have been a rock. She was disoriented now and lay still. It seemed that she was outside
her body and looking down at the scene from above. She saw herself, her body exposed,
her long hair tangled and dirty around her. She saw Him, tearing at his pants cruelly
grabbing at her breasts, roughly kissing her face, arms legs. NO! Please not his, Darien!
She couldn't let this happen. Only Darien could...Only Darien.. She reached out , crying
for her body to let her back in, but it couldn't, it wouldn't. It was closing her off, allowng
her mind to retreat. To save her the pain.She saw him rearing over her and silently
screamed , repulsion filling her mind.
Then she was back in her body and Nikkos weight was off her. She heard a thump and the
sickening sound of flesh hitting flesh. Then a face was bending over her. Dark brown hair
and kind eyes. Camaan. He looked so sad, so worried. She tried to speak, to tell him that
it was O.K.. She was all right. But a deep black blanket was dropping over her. Sighing
she succumbed to it, and let it sweep her into oblivion.
Camaan was worried, desperately so. "Jarl stop killing him! If you kill him then we wont
have the pleasure of seeing him tortured later."
The blond giant gave Jarl one last punch and let him drop to the ground. he stepped over
to Camaan. "Is she, ..Will she be ok?"
"I don't know. But we have to get her to the palace, soon."
Jarl picked up the unconscious Nikko and started east. Camaan followed with his small
bundle. He had never been so mad, a rage had clouded his eyes when he had come upon
them. His little pixie, so scraped up and exposed. He couldn't get those eyes out of his
head. Her eyes. So soft, so blue, and so full of shattered innocence.

And, ....was it that bad. I hope not. I really tried to make it like the original. Oh some one has got to let me know. Please, Pretty please!!!* on my knees begging*
