Chapter 3: A Meeting in the woods

Serena walked in the mansion with Missy at her side. "Step mother! We are back!" Serena called through the house. But no one answered. Serena shrugged and set her basket on a near by table. Missy did the same. "Wonder were they have gone…" Serena pondered putting a finger on her chin and looking around.

"They probably went to mingle. They tend to do that." Missy suggested. Serena nodded and walked down the hall to get a new basket for gathering berries. But as she walked down the hall she froze. She could have sworn she saw her mother standing next her.

She turned to where she supposed her mother had been, but only saw herself. She was looking in a large, wall length mirror. She looked at her clothing. She was wearing a blue dress that she had inherited from her mother. It was very plain and jewel less.

Her father had once told her that she used it to help with the flowers, but it was one of the only good dresses that Serena owned. She smiled at it. It went to her ankles, and over the bottom was a white apron with pockets. Her shoes were just there. They didn't stand out at all. It would make very little difference if she wore no shoes at all.

She smiled once more at herself and then continued. Missy had gone to do her chores. Serena went into a cabinet and grabbed a straw basket, before turning and walking out of the mansion. "Missy! When they return tell them I have gone to gather berries!" Serena called, referring to her Stepfamily.

 She heard a faint, "Of course!" from the back of the home and then she closed the door and traveled to the forest trail. She smiled at all the exquisite flowers. She'd stop every know and then to put a few in her pockets. She even put a daisy in her hair.

As she walked she hummed peacefully. She walked and walked till she came to the place were berries grew the most. But she froze. Because before was the most dazzling sight she had ever laid eyes on. She walked very, very slowly to the sight before her.

What she was looking at was a deer. A beautiful female dear eating a few berries on the ground. Behind the deer was a lake. And on the side of the trail that the deer stood on were an assortment of beautiful flowers. There were some Candytufts and some Daylilies and of course there were daisies.

Unfortunately as Serena walked she stepped on a stick and the deer's head shot up and looked strait at her. Serena stood like a statue so that the deer wouldn't run away. She was definitely expecting it too. But the animal didn't run, it walked to Serena slowly. It sniffed her a little, then Serena moved her hand slowly to pet it but it ran away.

Serena sighed. "Drat!" She exclaimed as she walked to some nearby berries.

Serena knelt down and began gathering some berries from the attractive spot she had just started to admire when she heard the sound of a running horse.

She looked up immediately, putting her basket of berries on the floor. When she saw him. A man riding a horse with some old looking armor. His horse was stunning. But as she was admiring him he ran into a low branch. The blow knocked of his helmet.

Serena gasped and ran to the man. "Sir… sir are you ok?" She asked him. When she got close enough she saw that the man had raven black hair and deep blue midnight blue eyes. He laughed a little and stood up.

"Aw. There goes another one I will have to chase down… oh hello there miss…" He looked at her for the answer.

"Serena. My name is Serena… and you are?" She asked the man.

"Oh! I young lady I am Sir… I'm sir… Sir William Jacob…" The man scratched his head. He seemed to be trying to remember something. Serena lifted an eyebrow. But it wasn't long before a woman came running up the hill.

"Darien! Were is the horse!" She shouted at him. Serena's eyebrow only lifted more at the demanding woman. The fact that the woman looked nothing like a woman was not overseen.

She was wearing a pair of leather jeans and a peasant top that was made for a man. She had one earring instead of two. And her shoes were boots. She had short, short light blond hair; it was the length of a man's hair.  The woman rushed up to the man who Serena was having trouble piecing together.

He had said his name was sir William Jacob, and seemed to be trying to remember the rest of his name. But the woman had called him Darien.  Serena folded her arms thinking suspiciously.

"Amara! You just blew my cover!" The man scolded. The woman named Amara lifted an eyebrow. Then she noticed Serena looking at them confused. Serena tilted her head slightly.

"Oh! He he…" She looked at Darien from the corner of her eyes. "I mean… Sir William..." Amara tried to correct but Serena was far ahead of her.

"Ok! Know you have done it!" Darien said to her. Up on the trail Amara had come from a man came. His hair was about the same length as Amara's but it was much blonder, it was a lot like Serena's. He had almost the same shirt as Amara but it was much more looser and his pants were white and loose.

"Ok… excuse me sir… but your name?" She asked him gently, leaning between the man and Amara, and pointing to him. He got red in the face. "Surely a knight like yourself would have a name…" she added. His face got redder. She decided to give him a bit of a scar and leaned in more.

"Well… you see... my name…" He looked at her, a bit of sweet dripping from his forehead. Amara gave him a stern look. "My name is…" Serena leaned in even closer, giving an accusing look.

"Do you even have a name?" She asked him. He gave a fake laugh and leaned back farther.

"I do have a name!" He pronounced. Serena lifted her eyebrow again.

"His name is Darien Thatcher!" The man that was walking the trail to them said. Serena grinned. Amara and Darien fumed. He smiled and tossed an apple in the air.

"Andrew! You just blew my cover… again!" Darien yelled. Andrew blinked. He stopped tossing his apple and took a bite out of it. Serena could see that Darien was struggling to hold Amara back from attacking him. But then he saw Serena and tossed his apple at Amara and ran to her side.

"Oh… Who's the Lady friend?" He asked eyeing Serena. Serena smiled innocently. Amara rolled her eyes and turned around putting her shoulder agenst Darien's.

"My name is Serena." She said extending her hand to shake his. But he took it and kissed it. Darien rolled his eyes. Serena blushed slightly.

"I am Andrew. It's a pleaser meeting an angel like you. Tell me… is your father a thief?" He asked her. Serena blinked.

"Um…no." Serena said looking at him tilting her head, wondering if she should be worried or not.

"Oh milady! Please accept my most enormous apology…" Andrew said getting on his knees in front of Serena and holding her hand tightly. Serena lifted an eyebrow.

"Ok… I accept…" She said quizzing. Andrew was up on his feet in a flash, still latching onto her hand.

"You see, young flower, I was just wondering who stole the stars from the sky and put them in your lovely eyes?" He said smiling at her, he let go of her hand finally and ran a hand through his hair. (A/N I know it's the corniest pick up line invented!)

Serena folded her hands and got starry eyed. Darien turned away like Amara had; they were both ashamed to be friends with such a man. Serena was still smiling at him.

"At the moment that would be you!" She said smiling so big. He smiled at her smoothly.

"So…" He said moving closer to her, " How would you like to bear my child?" He asked draping an arm around her shoulder. Serena's starry eyes left her as she promptly smacked him across his face.

"How dare you… perverted little… oh!" She exclaimed ready to attack him. Darien picked her up of the ground in mid lung. Serena struggled to get free of Darien and rip Andrew's throat out.  "Let me go! I'm going to rip out your lungs and feed them to my cat for breakfast. And then I am going to have my horse stomp all over your dead corpse. Just wait till I get my hands on you!" She said putting up more of a struggle. Amara had to help hold her back know.

"I'm sorry Serena!" He said loudly, backing up and debating on running.

"Wait… you said you have a horse?" Darien asked. Serena lay limp in his arms.

"Yes. Her name is Marguerite. She used to be my fathers." Serena explained. Darien put her down. "Wasn't that your horse that ran of to the lake?" She asked.

"Well… you see that was my… masters horse…" He said. Serena's eyes budged. "We were using it for training…" he added.

"Yeah… and the bloke lost it…" Amara said scowling at Darien who smiled a little. She slapped him over the head.

"No he didn't…" Serena said smiling at the two. Amara tilted her head.  Serena walked down the trail with the other three walking behind her. Andrew was way behind her. "So what was the name you were giving me earlier… and why?" as they walked.

Serena bent down and grabbed her basket of berries. She began to walk to the lake.

"Sir Willem Jacob Tantler. And I was testing out my new name for the jousting competition." He said proudly. "See… my master… he…" Serna lifted an eyebrow resting her wait to the side.

"He?"

"He died a month ago… so we need a way of getting food and stuff…" Darien said. Serena was still puzzled but shook her head sighing and continuing on the trail to were she knew the horse would be.

"So how… prey tell, are you going to get into the competition?" Serena asked him stopping once again and leaning down to pick a few berries. "You need a patent of nobility!" Darien smiled knowingly.

"A friend of mine, Ami, She mad me one. She is very good at writing things." He said smiling at her, shining his teeth.

Serena nodded. And continued on the way. "But what about your skills."

Amara took this one. " Andy and I are helping him prepare." She said smiling and putting a hand on Darien's shoulder.

"And that seems to be going wonderful, huh?" She said indicating to the helmet that was stuffed under Darien's arm. The two blushed. "Ah ha!" She said beaming ahead. Darien stood next to her and then Amara and then Andrew. "There is your horse." She said pointing at the horse drinking some water ahead of them at the lake.

Serena walked toward it smiling. She rubbed its head. It was brown with black hair and only a white stripe down his forehead, and white patches above its hooves. "How did you know?" Darien asked standing beside her.

She smiled at him, slightly closing the eye that was nearest to the lake, because of the sun shining on her and making her hair appear gold. "I noticed that when you got knocked of your horse he was going quite fast. Were do you go when you have been running for a long time?" She asked him.

"To get some water…" He said looking at her. She smiled at him her eyes glistening with wisdom.

"Precisely!" She said smiling. Amara smiled and Andrew took an apple out of no were and began to munch on it. Serena smiled at them

"Well it was a pleaser meeting most of you…" She said looking at Andrew slightly then smiling at Amara and Darien. Andrew whistled. "I hope to see you both again!" she said smiling and walking up the trail. " Oh and do come to visit, I live at that mansion at the end of the trail!" She said pointing and then walking away. They all waved, and She could hear the huffs and grunts as Amara and Andrew helped Darien get on his horse.

Hay you guys. That was chapter two!  I can't wait till I do the next chapter. Oh and by the way! HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! ^-^ I made my daddy a cool card with a picture of me on it! Here is your preview for the next chapter. Oh and so sorry for the whole perverted Andrew… he kind of reminded me of Miroku from inu-yasha! Miroku is so cool! ^-^ he's my favorite on the show!

Serena sighed and sat down on her bed cursing her stepmother a million times over in her head. When she heard a loud thud downstairs. She got up and walked to the door quietly wondering what it was.  She heard another thud, and then she heard a whinny of a horse in the front.

She ran to the window and saw a carriage and many horses with knights on them. Then she heard a thud in the hallway outside her room. So she ran to the door once again and starred out.

"Milady!" She heard the shout of Missy as she tripped slightly on a loose board but didn't fall. It made another thud. "Milady it's horrible!" She said running up to Serena.

Serena looked at the woman quizzing her. Missy stood up strait and looked Serena in the eye. Her chocolate brown eyes were watery as she stared at the young maiden.

"What is it?" Serena asked.

"Milady!" She sobbed looking up at Serena. "Milady it's horrible! They have…

Muahahaha! What have they done? Why is Missy so freaked out? Read on to the next chapter and find out! ^_~*
