"Darien... I... I... I think I'm... d-dying..."
Darien shook his head. "N-no! Don't say that! You're not! We'll get you inside and everything will be ok."
At that point, an evil laughter shrieked through the night, and a woman with long auburn hair and dark, cold eyes stepped out of her hiding place wearing a tight, dark purple dress that flared out from the knees and down. She wasn't standing on the ground, but floating about 3 inches above it. A cold smirk was placed on her blood-red lips.
The prince looked up as he heard the laughter and froze when he saw whom it belonged to. "Beryl..." he whispered. Then he became very angry, put Serena down carefully, and ran over and grabbed Beryl by the arms. She was about two inches taller than him, so he had to look up to her. "What did you do to her?" he sneered.
She laughed again. "Me? I didn't do anything, but I know who did." A black cloud-spirit floated from behind Beryl and above her head. Her eyes were flashing red and angry, yet laughing, but evilly, at the same time.
Darien let go of Beryl and back away a couple steps. "What did you do to her?!" he shouted angrily.
"You little princess can tell you," Beryl said, as if she was speaking for Metallica. "But all I'll say is that if you leave her now, I can give you tremendous amount of power, king of the universe, and me as your queen."
"Never!"
Beryl scowled. "Fine! Then your girl will die!"
"No!" Darien shouted. "Why are you doing this Beryl?!"
"You left me for that little moon twit! She stole you from me, poisoned your mind so she could have you to herself. We had so much going for us, and then she had to come around and use her moon poison."
"What are you talking about? We were never together! We never had anything! My mother tried to set us up, but I was already in love with someone else! I didn't know it at the time, but I do now! I'm in love with Serena, and nothing will ever stop that!" Darien proclaimed.
Beryl sneered again. "Then she will die!" With that, a dark purple thunder bolt shot out of her hand and at the princess, who screamed in pain.
Darien gasped and ran over to Serena, not noticing that Beryl disappeared. He held her in his arms. "Serena! Please! You can't leave me! You're not dying!" A lone tear ran down his cheek.
Serena reached up weakly and wiped the tear away. "Darien, I have something to tell you." She had trouble speaking, and gasped for air every now and then, but began her story anyway. "You know that I'm the moon princess, but no one ever knew why I was on Earth, even me. Even when I came back, my mother still wouldn't tell me. She said it didn't matter. B- but, it did." She paused to take a breath. "W-Well, when I was a baby and just born, there was a great celebration. Everyone was there, everyone except Metallica, who had tried to take over my mother's kingdom. After that, Queen Serenity gave Metallica a choice of any planet she wanted. So she chose a planet that was teeming with life, but when she arrived, everything died off because she treated it so badly, not to mention that she was filled with evil.
"Anyway, on my day of birth, Metallica came, even though she wasn't invited. She intended to kill me by sending a beam of energy towards me, but it hit my father instead, and that's why I never met him." A tear slid out of her tearful blue eyes. "Well, Metallica was going to leave, but then she got a different idea. Killing my father wasn't enough for her, so she put a curse on me." She swallowed hard, then said, "She said that if I don't get my true love's first kiss ON my 17th birthday, I prick my finger on the thorn of a black rose in the rose gardens... and... and..."
Darien's eyes were wide. He now knew why she wouldn't kiss him. Because she couldn't. The power of the moon was in her, and there was always something telling her not to kiss him. "Serena... I'm sorry..."
The princess reached up weakly and ran her fingers through his thick hair. "Don't be. I... I guess this is how my life is supposed to end, and I can't help that."
"No! But I could! I could've waited! I could've accepted that, but I didn't." The tears started to leave his eyes and flow down his cheeks.
"Darien..." Her tears left her eyes as well and traveled down her face quickly. Her breath started shortening. "Darien... I just wanted to tell... to tell you... that... I-I love you. I always will, even if I'm... I'm dead..."
Darien held her close. "I love you so much."
Neither one of them realized that the queen, Luna, Artemis, and the 4 planet scouts were watching, crying along with each other and holding each other, trying to comfort them.
"I... I love you Darien..." she said, tears running down her cheeks. And with those last words, she fell limp in his arms.
"No..." Darien whispered. "NO!!" He held his love, crying and choking back the sobs. "I love you, I love you," he whispered.
But then an idea popped into his head. Maybe he could still save her! He pulled away slightly and head his head inches away from hers. And then slowly, Darien pressed his lips against Serena's cold ones. A tear fell from his eye and landed on her cheek, and then he pulled away, watching for any sign of life.
When he didn't see any, he began to cry softly again, and held her close, whispering things in her ear he wished he had told her before. "I love you, Serena. I loved you all my life, even if I didn't know it. I was wrong. I shouldn't have pushed you away. I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you."
"Darien?" a weak voice whispered in his ear.
Darien pulled away staring at her in disbelief, relief, and love all mixed together to form one emotion in his cerulean orbs. "S-Serena?"
"Darien..." Tears of joy streaked down her face. "You saved me."
She was engulfed by his muscular arms, and she reached up weakly, holding him tightly. "I'm so glad you're alive," he whispered. "I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry I pushed you away. I'm sorry I didn't tell you."
Serena shook her head against his shoulder. "No, you didn't know. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself."
The couple sat like that for a while, and soon the queen approached with Serena's four guardians. Queen Serenity ran over and sunk to the ground. "Oh, Serena," she said softly.
They pulled away, and Serena reached over hugging her mother. "I'm ok now, Mother. I'm ok."
The other princesses ran over, hugging their own princess, glad that she was alive. Everything was going to be ok.
