Lady Zaira and Guardian ...
Chapter 7: A Guardian For A Princess
Serena could not wait till class ended that day, so that she could tell her
friends what happened. As the bell rang for the last class, Serena could not
help herself. She was trying to decide what to tell her friends about first.
Ami was trying NOT to strangle Mina who wouldn't quit badgering her, until
she could think of some way to get Serena's Mom to let Serena stay the night
at Ami's. Rei was thinking of another way to tease Serena with out breaking
her promise to Ami and Serena. After walking to Serena's house and asking
Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino if their daughter could stay the night at Ami's. The
girls gathered around as Serena started to tell the girls what happened.
"This is just keeps getting weirder and more bizarre.." Mina said shaking
her head at what she was just told. Ami just shook her head, then brought
out her Mercury scanner and proceeded to scan Serena again. Rei just looked
at Serena in shock, then she had an idea. She put herself into a trance to
try and see if she could read William's mind. When Rei opened her eyes to
see where she was, she found herself in an old fashioned jail cell. "Looks
like someone has been a bad little girl. Miss Rei, Didn't anyone ever tell
you it wasn't polite to read try and read a person's mind without their
permission?" William said as he appeared in front of her, "I know that your
only doing this because your worried about Serena. Don't worry I would never
do anything, or let anything bad ever happen her. Please, return to your
friends now that you know something about me and NEVER do this again."
Rei felt herself quickly but gently thrust out of William's mind.
When she came out of her trance, she let out a gasp and found herself
shaking in fear. No one had ever been able to block her like that before,
she also found three sets of human and one set of feline eyes staring at her
worried. "What happened Rei? Are you ok?" Mina asked when she saw Rei's
normally reserved form, shaking with fear. Ami was now scanning Rei to find
out what had happened. As much as Serena and Rei fought, Serena didnt want
anything bad to happen to her friend. "Rei? You tried to read William's mind
didn't you?" Serena asked as she walked over and put her arm around Rei to
try to comfort her. Rei looked at Serena in shock, "How did you know that is
what I did?" she asked. Serena spoke "If something like this was happening
to one of my friends and I had your ability, I would." Rei shook her head to
try and clear it, "I have never had something like that happen to me before"
Ami glanced up from her scanner and asked "He blocked you didnt he?" At Ami's
Comment all the girls turned and started at her, "What?" Ami asked. "How did
you know he blocked me?" Rei asked in a surprized voice. "Simple, from the
readings I took of Serena and now you. I have come to one conclusion,
"William is more then what he seems to be" Ami stated. Ami could tell by the
blank looks that she received, that her friends didn't understand. "He is like
Tuxedo Mask, he has a second identity and a second life", Ami simply told them.
"You mean our teacher may be a knight for Crystal Tokyo?", Mina spoke up and
asked. "A guardian of some form or another, but not from Crystal Tokyo.
These power readings indicate that this is a ancient power from the past," Ami
replyed reading from her scanner. "How far back in the past Ami?", Rei asked as
her face returned to its normal color. When Ami didn't answer her, Rei looked up
and noticed that Ami was concentrating deeply on her scanner, tapping the screen
from time to time. What ever Ami was doing, it lasted until ten o'clock. "Finished
finally!", the girls heard from the living room as they walked out of the kitchen.
"What's Finished?" Serena asked, as Ami beamed a smile at the group. "What I have
been working on for most of the evening, is a program that computes the infomation
the I gather about William and the life force in Sererna. It will then determine
what is the most possible reason behind all of this," Ami stated to her friends.
It was then that most of the girls started to yawn, "I dont know about you guys,
but i am going to bed" Serena said tiredly. As soon as Serena closed her eyes,
she was fast to sleep.
Serena awoke to find himself standing at the entrance of a large ballroom with
fine crystal chandelier's. The walls were a cream color, and Serena could hear
music softly wafting though the air. She looked up and was surprised to find
herself gazing at the moon and a sky full of stars. The whole ceiling of the
ballroom was made out of glass, as Serena looked around she noticed her
refection in mirror. Not believing her eyes she looked down at her clothing
and discovered that she was wearing a fine ball gown made of silk. "What's
is going on here?" She thought as she continued to look around the room.
Serena smiled as she thought about how romantic this was, "I must be
dreaming" she thought. "Yes, you are dreaming my princess." Serena quickly
turned around only to be rendered utterly speechless by the person that spoke.
Her mouth hung open, and all she could do was stare in shock at what she saw
before her. Standing in the doorway leading to what looked like the outside,
was a man dressed in a simple tuxedo. This was not what surprized Serena,
what surprized her was that he had what looked like angel wings.
Guardian smiled at Serena's reaction, and as he walked towards her all he could
think about was that his princess had finaly returned to him. As he walked up
in front of Serena, Guardian leaned forward and gently kissed her hand. When
Serena found that she had the ability to speak once again, she looked up at
this male angel and shyly spoke "Hi." Guardian smiled warmly down at her,
and it was then that Serena felt her knees begin to shake and her body
slowly slide to the floor. Guardian reached out and grabbed her arms
before she could fall, "Hello my princess. You are dreaming, we have
found that if you think that this is a dream that you will understand
everything better. All of this is going on in your mind as you sleep
peacefully at Ami's house. Both Lady Zaira and myself agree that you
should be told of what is going on and who we are. My name is Guardian,
I am a guardian angel and the protector of Princess Zaira. Lady Zaira
is the life force that is merging with you, so that both of you will
become one being" Guardian told her. Serena listened as Guardian told
her about why the Princess and her Guardian were sent to the present.
As she listened to guardian tell her about Lady Zaira's and his life
in the past, Serena looked down at the ground as a wave of sadness
washed over her. Tears came to her eyes as the memory's and emotions
of Lady Zaira's life past through her mind.
