Here's chapter two! I know the last one was REALLY short, so that's why I'm uploading the first five or so... Enjoy! :)

Lita's Dream

Lita opened her eyes to a beautiful and spacious room. Where am I? She thought wildly. Her heart fluttered strangely, but she took a moment to examine her surroundings. She was in some type of ballroom, large and lovely. It was filled with pink roses and smelled of rain and the sweet spring wind. She inhaled deeply. The pillars and walls around her were made of light green marble and the windows were stain glassed and portrayed pictures of the forest and fairies that lived in the wood.

She looked around her and noticed everyone was dancing. There were couples everywhere, twirling and laughing. She began to feel happy looking at them but began to wonder why she wasn't dancing. A wave of loneliness passed over her and she hung her head. She suddenly noticed what she was wearing. The dress was the loveliest she had ever seen! She reached up to find her hair was held back by the silkiest ribbon she had ever felt! Her dress was blue, not a color she usually wore, but was beautiful just the same.



I'm beginning to like this dream, she thought smiling. She walked towards the dance floor and as she did people turned and looked at her. She began to feel self conscious, wondering why everyone was staring and whispering. She suddenly heard her name and looked up to see a tall, and enormously muscular man beckoning to her. She didn't know what to do, but trusted him for some reason. She walked shyly to the platform on which he was standing.

A beautiful woman with long brown hair sat next to him and smiled at Lita warmly as she approached. I know her, but from where? She questioned herself. Suddenly the man next the woman spoke in a loud and pleasant voice.

"I present to you, my daughter Lita. We have all gathered here today to rejoice in another year of her life! My people, welcome to her birthday celebration!" he said smiling.

Lita turned crimson and felt faint. My father? My real father? Am I on Jupiter? Her mind screamed! Suddenly the man leaned in and whispered to her.



"Lita where have you been? We've been waiting for you for a half an hour!"



Lita stared at him, completely shocked. They had been waiting for her? She gaped at him, not knowing what to say to a man she had never seen before in her life. He began to feel uncomfortable under her gaze.

"Lita darling, are you all right?" he asked worriedly. "You look like you've seen a ghost!"

Lita finally found her voice and nodded. She cleared her throat quickly and attempted a small smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm fine, really." Lita finally managed.

The woman joined her father and looked at Lita strangely. Lita blushed. Her father finally nodded.

"All right, well, why don't you go dance? It is your party after all..."

Lita smiled. The dance! Of course! This was a party in her honor...

"Yes, you're right. Thank you... father." she smiled.

His worries smoothed out at her smile. The woman looked at her again curiously but shook her head as if to clear it.

"We'll talk later darling," she said, smoothing out Lita's hair. "Now go dance."

Lita smiled and curtsied as she walked away. She walked onto the floor alone and stopped. Now what? Her mind questioned. She was suddenly overwhelmed by the stares of the people around her. She smiled nervously, but the smile became genuine as a young man stepped forward and bowed. He held out his hand to her and she took it happily. The music loomed around them as he pulled her closer.

Why does this feel so right? She asked herself as he spun her across the floor. And why can't I see his face?

It was true; the young man dancing with her wore a dark green tuxedo and a white mask. He reminds me of Tuxedo Mask, Lita thought, but he isn't. Who could he be?

The boy spun her around again, dipping her gracefully as the song ended. She noticed he had brown hair and dark eyes, but could see no more. He smiled at her and she returned it as he lifted her back to her feet. He kissed her hand lightly and walked away. Lita felt weak as she watched him go. She suddenly heard a voice:

"I'll always protect you my princess, never forget that..."



Suddenly, everything began to tremble around her. People were running and screaming all around her. She searched frantically for her masked man but he was nowhere in sight. She could hear him shouting, searching for her, but she couldn't find him... she would never find him...

And then she woke up.
