Chapter 3



Serenity looked around, searching for the eyes that gaze at her; watching her every movement.

The Senshi noticed that their Queen had been acting differently. She was more nervous than usual and it seemed that she was scared of something. So they sent, Luna, Artemis, Haruka and Michiru to see what was wrong with their friend.

They went looking for her and stared with her bedroom.

"Serenity?" Michiru calls softly.

No answer from the other side of the door.

Luna and Artemis pawed at the door. "Some thing's not right." Luna announced, her whiskers winching. "I don't hear or smell anything from her room."

Haruka opened the door and found it in shambles.

It looked as if someone had struggled against another person.

The sheets were twisted; there was clothes, pieces of paper, items from the bathroom, glass, and pieces of pottery, stewed around the room.

"Luna! Artemis! Contact the others and the police!" Haruka ordered.

"Yes, right away." And Luna and Artemis dashed out of the room and ran to find the others yelling all the way, "The Queen's missing!" Luna had yelled.

"She's been kidnapped!" Artemis shouts.

Back in the room Michiru found a note on the balcony. Curious, she opens it and reads it's contents.

Haruka was looking around elsewhere and found a ski mask next to the bed. She stares at it hatefully until she heard.

"Haruka!"

She swung around towards her lover's cry and went over to her. "What is it Michi?" She asked her quietly.

Michiru didn't even reply only handed her the slip of paper that was left.

Haruka frowned at her, wondering what could be wrong, just as the other Senshi had arrived.

She read it out loud, forgetting that they were there.

Endymion,

Your wife is mine, now and forever and I will never give her back! Never! She is mine now. Oh, but don't worry, I'll treat her as if she is my wife. Funny how this turned out, my enemy. I have your girl and you have nothing.

Black Phoenix



Endymion stares at the writing after having snatched it from Haruka and read it over again. The others watched him closely as they saw him pale to almost a ghost white color. His lips were thin and pale as the words seemed forced out of his throat, "Black Phoenix."
