Serenity moaned softly and rolled over on her side. The movement woke up Endymion.
Bewildered, Endymion noticed it was late in the afternoon by now. Strange how the time flew by as he sat here by her side. He noticed her face was back to it's normally creamy light tan color and the moon on her forehead was gold. Her lips were no longer pale, but rich in color of pink and red. He longed to reach out and touch her gold hair. Chuckling, he remembered her nickname. "Meatball head..." he muttered.
Serenity's eyes flew open ,and she swiftly sat up. "What did you just call me?" Her eyes flashed menacingly. All in all, she looked one-hundred percent better, but that was only because she used the crystal to make her look well, but she still was not felling better. The bruises only appeared to be gone. The only thing Serenity had really healed with the crystal was her ankle, and her ankle wasn't even fully healed.
Fully healing her ankle would rob her of all her energy.
"You look much better, meatball head." He teased.
Serenity glared at him.
"You'd best be getting up. The ball will begin shortly. It's already late afternoon. You and I have slept most of the day." He told her.
"...You and I ?" She questioned.
"Yes, I stayed here with you. I was sleeping here in this chair." He informed her.
"Ohhh...Okay. Well, if you don't mind getting out so I can change."
"I wouldn't mind watching." He teased her again.
"Well, I would, so get out before I hurt you!" She warned.
Endymion vaguely remembered *last* time and hurriedly left the room to get dressed himself.
He entered his room and closed the door behind him. He changed into his traditional armor and began to brush his hair. Then, he headed off to the ballroom.
Meanwhile, the Princess had just thrown off the feather down comforter off her and swung her feet over the bed. *Hope I have enough energy to keep this look up... But I have no reason to keep it up in the solitude of my own rooms. It will just drain my energy.* She thought as she took the disguise off. A black eye on reappeared on left eye, and the bruise on her right cheek was also visible. Her bottom lip was swollen. Her arms were the worst from where someone had grabbed her in different places. Pain came back to hear, was it not for her determinedness, she would have fainted, but instead she forced herself to stand up. After a few moments, the room stopped spinning and Serenity walked cautiously over to the her silver luggage case. She waited for a few seconds for the luggage to change into her wardrobe then chose a gown and then changed into it. It was a breathtaking sleeveless silver gown that touched the floor when it graced Serenity's small but breathtaking frame. It hugged all the right places, showing her womanly curves. She admired herself in the mirror of the door of the wardrobe while she silently mused how to do her hair. She settled on a very intricate design of curls up on the back of her head with white roses entwined in it. On her face, she wore several layers of veils. You could see through the one that went over her eyes, but only slightly. It was only there to hide her eye color. And then the one that graced over her mouth was silver like her dress. Serenity concealed her moon from view. Now she was ready, and just then her mother sent her a telepathic message.
"Serenity, you must hurry, the bell just rang for the beginning of the ball. In a few minutes all will begin dancing. The Prince in already here so hurry."
"Yes mother." She assured her and began to run out of the room. Half way out she forgot about her wounds. Quickly, she concealed them again, and ran to the ball room. It had just started. Men and women were pairing up. Each with their own masks on.
A young man with curly brown hair and green approached her, "May I have this dance, mi'lady?"
"Of course," Serenity told him and curtseyed. After a few moments of dancing, she began to tire. She had almost forgot that just today she had used the crystal. It did take alot out of her. So, she politely thanked him and excused herself and went to sit at an empty table. Wistfully she looked out into the sea of dancing couples, and wished someone else would ask her to dance. As if in answer to her silent plea, another young man approached.
This young man had startling blue eyes and sandy blonde hair. He wore a foreign Crest on the front of his gold armor. "May I have this dance?" He bowed slightly to her.
"Yes," She told him and stood up smiling. He led her onto the floor and they danced and talked idly, then she asked, "Have I met you? You look familiar, but it seems I knew you once from somewhere else..."
The young man blanched noticeably and stopped dancing. "Serenity?!" He whispered.
Serenity laughed and realized who it was at once! "Oh my, it is you! Zack! I haven't seen you since the whole cake incident when we were young. So, how is Mina doing?"
Zack laughed and began dancing with her again. "My dear, it is so good to see you again. Mina is doing wonderful. We'll have to get together sometime and have tea."
Sereity nodded. But before she could continue a bell chimed that told them to change partners. Zack gave her one smile before he spun around and caught a stunning blonde in his arms. The blonde winked at Serenity. Serenity knew immediately it was Mina. *So, my court has decided to show themselves finally.* But before she could think of anyone. She was swept into a fast dance with a strong man with ebony hair. His eyes were hidden behind a tinted mask that only showed from below his nose. His scent was overpowering, but in a good way.
The man grinned at Serenity who smiled in return. He slipped his arm further around her waist protectively and pulled her closer to him. Immediately, she began to look around for an escape. *She is easily scared...* He thought. "How are you doing today, madam?"
Serenity sighed as she thought of the day's events. Her visage waivered, and for a second her bruises were visible. The man noticed this but did not mention it. "I've had an eventful day no less, but how about we talk of something else, sir."
"I have no notion to talk about your day if you do not wish, so what do you wish we speak of?" He asked.
"Who are you?" She asked while eyeing him suspiciously through her veil.
The man smiled and leaned towards her. Whispering in her ear, he answered. "You know who I am, and what your question implies, Princess." He kissed the tender spot of skin beneath her ear lobe.
Serenity shivered and burried her head in his chest to keep her embarrassment from showing.
Endymion smiled and pulled her closer.
Serenity whipped her head up at glared at him through the veil. *I can play this game too.* "Sir, you should learn not to handle women in that manner. I don't know who you are ,but you best be glad I do not or I would complain to the Queen and King of Earth. Surely they would have something to say about your behavior."
"I know who you are. A veil cannot hid you from me Serenity. You're picture is forever inscribe within my heart." Endymion teased.
The bell that implyed the changing of partners chimed. Serenity went to move but found she couldn't.
"Let me go, sir." She told him calmly. Taking a deep breath, Serenity steadied herself. Already, her ankle was beginning to ache again and if she did not rest soon, she would lost her composure and have no hold on her appearance.
"Serenity, if you do not at once admit to me who are you, I shall make it very clear to you who you are and who you are going to be married to in a few years." He told her.
"I would rather die a thousand deaths than admit anything to such an arrogant man, even if I was the Serenity you speak of." She hissed. In rage, she purposefully stepped on his toe hard with the heal of her shoe.
Endymion cursed under his breath at his grip on Serenity's waist faltered ,and she broke away free. He chased after her. He was all too aware of the limp she had when she was walking and the fact that his four gaurdians were following them out of the building.
Serenity ran out the closest entrance and found herself in an immense garden filled with every type of flower immaginable. She lost herself in thought for a moment, longing to see those beautiful flowers without the tint of the veil she was wear. She was about to pull it off...but then she saw Endymion coming towards her. He looked none too happy. She was about to run off, but he grabbed her arm.
"What in the hell do you think you were doing! First you ask me a question. Then deny me my right of the wager we made! Then, you stomp on my toe and run away. I do not think so." He raged.
Serenity narrowed her eyes. If only he could see her eyes, he would have seen how cold they looked. "Sir, I will not ask you again to not talk to me. And let go of my arm before I call the Palace gaurds on you." She looked around threateningly as if it might scare him. *Sere! You idiot! He's the Prince of EARTH! Do you REALLY think he cares about what a gaurd will do to him? He could exile the guard for even THINKING of sticking up for you!* She inwardly smacked herself.
Enymion smiled and laughed hardily before tossing aside his mask. His eyes searched for hers, and when she would not meet his eyes with his, he advanced upon her like a lion does when it is hunting. "So, did you enjoy yourself this evening, madam." And took a step closer to her.
She stepped back, eyeing him warily. "Yes, I did, thank you."
He took a step closer, closing the gap between them. "Wonderful."
She took another step back and found cold stone behind her and on both sides of her. She had backed herself into a corner. And before she could move, she found Endymion inches away from her with a contemplative look on his face.
Endymion crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows. "The longer you talk. The longer I'm amused. The more of a chance of me letting you go back to the ball. Agreed?"
Serenity looked at the ground as if it was interesting.
Enraged by her action, Endymion lurched forward and grabbed both her hands in one of his hands. She struggled, but it was harder when he had one hand and she had none. She did get herself out of the corner for but a second, but then she was back in it again.
"Endymion, let me go, pleaseeee." She whined.
"You know the deal, Serenity." Was all her replied.
"I can't kiss you from behind this." She refered to her veil. "And I am forbidden to take it off before the ball."
Endymion smiled wickedly at her. With his free hand, he removed her veil before she could protest.
She was pissed. She pursed her lips and opened her mouth to argue, but before she could even mutter a word. Endymion wrapped his arms firmly around her waist and pressed his lips to hers. She struggled and did not kiss him back.
*I am going to get a better kiss than than.* He told himself. And leaned back to see her face. She was as mad as ever, but once again he pressed his lips to hers before she could protest. But this time, she was about 10 seconds late for protesting. So, when she opened her mouth to protest he took advantage of this and deepened the kiss by sliding his tongue into her mouth.
Serenity was shocked and out of breath when he pulled back, but he still firmly had his arms around her waist, allowing her no leinacy to move. "H..HOW DARE YOU!"
Endymion shrugged and bent down. Whispering in her ear, "So, who are you now?"
She shivered and pushed him back away from her.
Amazingly, it was with enough force to move him, and she began to run. But, sadly, the Prince had gaurdians await her when she reached the door to the ball. The four men blocked the doorway while Endymion raced to get there.
"Excuse me..." Serenity told them.
They did not budge. Zoicite grinned at her. "What's wrong, mi'lady?"
Serenity scowled. "If you do not let me through, I will --" She broke off as strong muscled arms encircled her waist scaring her half to death.
Endymion smelled the wonderful scent of her hair and whispered in her ear. "You'll what, mi'lady? What will you do?"
She shivered. "Stop." She told him. He did, but not before playfully biting her ear lobe. Making her face turn bright red.
Zoicite, Jadeite, Nephrite, Malachite exchanged looks as their Prince toyed with the distraugh girl.
*I know it's mean, but hey, what the hell else am I supposed to do?* Serenity seductively turned around pressing her body into Endymion and smiled slyly at him. Before she knew what was happening, his lips were on hers and he was pulling her even closer...She gasped as his hands played with her hair pulling it down into curly tendrils. Once again, Prince Endymion grinned as he had an opportunity to deepen the kiss. Serenity drew back and pushed him away with her hands firmly. Smiling coyly, she reached back with her arm and punched him in the nose. "Jerk!" She yelled and was about to storm into the ball room. But suddenly, four men surrounded her.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Zocite yelled.
Malachite and Nephrite were speechless.
And Jedite said, "You dumb little bitc---"
"Jediete." Endymion growled furiously. "Give her here." Before Serenity could object, two hands were pulling her over to a furious looking Endymion. He swept her up Princess style and strode off through a secret door to the castle on the other side of the garden. "I'll teach you to play with me, missy." He threatened and pulled her closer.
