Only A Breath Away

Third chappy!! Here Serenity wakes up and proper intros are made. O.o......also, thank you those kind people that reviewed me
Rei had returned the next morning, her pride and all. She found out in a breif conversation with Duo that Serenity had still not woken up. When she had talked to him she noticed his look of lack of sleep. Of course, they were all up really late last night, talking about the princess. He was still as cocky as ever, though, and even made her smile a bit. It was hard, even for the stubborn maiden, to resist such a charmer with his long, messy hair and his cute expressions.
The long haired woman entered the princess' bedroom. It wasn't the nicest place in the world, but it served it's purpose. Serenity was the daughter of Queen Selene and the mysterious King Reighn, who had died before Rei could remember. It was because of King Reighn that she had decided at a very young age to become a lone warrior, working only to protect the people. Rei's mother very much so admired the King, and she told Rei many times stories about the King during the war, how he could kill twenty men with one sweep of his sword. These stories seemed anything but fantasy to young Rei, and she wanted to grow up to be just like him, since he was the greatest warrior who ever lived, not just because of his skill, but because of his cause. There was only one man said to be stronger than the King. That was a retired knight from another Kingdom. Milton Jones was the cause of the War, and now he was the reason behind the Queen's kidnap, or at least that was the theory. He was also the reason for the Kings death. In the Last Battle, the King was struck with an arrow, his only wound throughout the whole battle. It was a poison arrow, and it was too late when the medical advisors found out. The King spent his last days with his family in peace, not knowing how long he had to live.
"Milton Jones" Rei whispered with hate. Her thoughts moved to pure hate of that man. No, she couldn't even call him a man. He was the reason her family, and the whole town of Luthina, were dead. Milton had created the plague, and to stop it from contaminating the rest of the country, the city was burned down, anything and everything were turned into ashes within the city's walls.
"Oh princess, wake up why don't you?" Rei whispered down to the sleeping princess, leaning her back against the wall across Serenity's bed, letting her tired body slide down to sit on the floor. She looked at her hands, "My hands are thirsty for the blood of the man that has taken your mother." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dining room
Duo gave a long yawn before stretching his arms above him. His hair was still very messy as it draped into his eyes. He had dressed himself in a brown vest and a long-sleeved shirt, which were pushed up to his elbows. He wore tan pants and brown boots.
Sure he was tired, but he had been through much more stressing events than little sleep. He rested his elbows on the table and stretched his legs like a cat. He really had nothing on his mind at the moment, so he just stared off into a blank space on the stone wall. His blank mind was interrupted as he saw Rei walk out of Serenity's room looking slightly gloomy.
Her attire had changed and now she was wearing a sleeveless red shirt and brown pants. Her long hair was in a braid tied at the bottom.
"So, what's going on?" Duo asked Rei, just to start a conversation. The silence in the house was killing him.
"You tell me" she said, sitting herself in the chair across from Duo. "She's still not fully awake, but she is partially. She was moving in her bed, which means she's regained some consious. She's still asleep though" she looked Duo in the eye. He just nodded. They sat there looking at each other for a minute, as though trying to read the others' thoughts.
"So, is Mr. Know-it-all around?" Rei said breaking the silence. Duo smiled one of his goofy grins.
"You two never can be civil to each other, can you?" he asked in response to her question. She just crossed her arms and smirked. 'She is way to much like Yui' he thought.
"Well, it depends on what you mean by civil. Now answer my question" she replied. He chuckled and pointed in the direction of Quatre's room. "Now that wasn't hard, now was it?" she joked smiling. She then got up and left. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"She's still not awake" Quatre said to himself as he sat near Serenity's bed. He had been thinking a lot about last night, and he was probably the only one doing so. He had realized that he was being a little overprotective of Rei, but it was his nature. He couldn't help it.
His thoughts move to the princess. She was very pretty, like Rei, but much more..... more princess like. Quatre had known of many men who had asked for her hand in marriage, but she refused them all. They were all drawn in by her charm, but it was her charm that also crushed them. She was much too young, too niaeve.
"And you are very beautiful, mistress" he whispered, pretending she were awake. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He opened his eyes to see a glittering pair of blue eyes staring at him.
"You're awake!" Quatre said surprised. He paused a second, then rushed out of his chair and on to the floor where he kneeled in respect to the princess. "Uh.um, sorry, my lady." With his head bowed down he didn't see her blush.
"Do you really think I'm beautiful?" she asked politely to the bonde boy. Quatre's face immedieately went red. He didn't know she had heard him, hell, he didn't even know she was awake!
"Umm...you are very lovely, princess" he said, lifting his head to look at Serenity and hoping that his blush wasn't too evident. Her face lit up.
"Are you an angel?" she asked, looking down at the kneeling boy. Quatre's face turned from red to white. "My mother always told me about angels. So, are you?" she asked again.
"Sorry, miss. I'm a human, just a normal human" he said, hoping he didn't upset the princess. Her face lost a little of it's happiness, but she still looked pretty happy. He stood up. "My name is Quatre Raberba Winner" he said, bowing down onhis knees again.
"My name is Serenity. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mister Winner" Serenity smiled, "you may rise."
"Yes, Princess Serenity, but the pleasure is all mine" Quatre smiled. Serenity liked this boy's smile. It was friendly, caring. Much like her mother's smile. Wait. Her mother!
"Where am I?!? Where's my mother?" Serenity asked frantically, finally coming back into reality. Quatre tried to calm the girl down. He told her she was fine and that her brother was in the other room waiting to speak to her. "My brother! Heero?" Serenity went from frantic to calm to frantic again.
Quatre excused himself from the room to get Heero. He walked out of the room to see Duo half asleep at the table. He turned to his room, where he knew Heero was, preparing for their depat, with or without Serenity awake.
When the door flew open Heero and Rei thought there was trouble. Quatre was surprised to see Rei talking to Heero and Rei was surprised to see Quatre walking in without knocking (Quatre's usually so polite!).
"Serenity's awake." With that Heero stood up and walked out of the room as Quatre held the door open. As Heero walked out Quatre turned to look back at Rei who was still sitting, looking at a big book in her ands. "Don't you want to come, Rei?" She shook her head and smiled at Quatre.
"Those two need to be left alone. He should be the one to explain everything to her. No matter what he says, he needs her right now. Alone." that was all she said before turning back to her book. Quatre nodded and left to tell Duo the news.
'Now we can leave, finally' Rei thought as Quatre shut the door. 'Now all I have to do is memorize this spell.'
Done. Next chapter should include another character. Should it be Trowa? Wu- fei? Or Relena? One of the three will appear.
