Chapter 2: Truths and Lies
Serendipity woke up and looked around. "What happened?"
She looked around at all the faces, they looked worried and she felt her forehead wet.
"She is alive!" Louis said exaggerating like the actor he was. Serendipity sat up seeing she on the coach. She rubbed her eyes as she looked around but then Horatio caught her attention. "Tell me you're lying." She said as she pushed a strand of hair.
Nicholas said. "it was a joke Serendipity, I didn't think you would take it so serious."
She got up. "Well, I did!" Victoria walked up to her giving her a glass of water. "Honey, Nicholas told us his name is Horatio, he's just an actor Nicholas knew long ago."
Horatio stood quiet not saying a word. Louis looked at his watch. "Shit! I have to go, I have to tell them guys at Broadway that their gold ticket is here."
He danced out the door shutting it behind him. "You sure you two are related?" Victoria said looking at Serendipity.
"Yes," Serendipity said as she got up.
"I told the Professor what happened, he said you can take the day off for safety okay? I'm heading out now to my job." She came up to me and gave Serendipity a good bye kiss on the cheek right after heading out.
She headed out and Nicholas said he had to go some where at the time. He left Horatio there telling him he would have to stay since he just had a car accident.
~*~*~*~*~
Serendipity POV
He's the quiet type really, He hasn't said a single word and he looked strange. He didn't fit at this time at all, his clothes seem to fit him plus his long hair. I have a feeling Victoria is going to cut his hair any time soon.
The phone rang and I picked up and started to talk and got into my conversation. I was needed at this place for an application and what can happen the time I'm out.
Suddenly Prince started to bark again and whine.
"Oh God," I said getting up and grabbing a collar and putting it around Prince's neck.
"Horatio, here." I said handing him the collar.
"I beg your pardon," He said quite confused.
"Here, come on before he does the Atlantic Ocean in here."
Horatio grabbed the collar as if holding a snake. I went and opened the door and started to run out.
~*~*~*~
Horatio's POV
This was too much, without warning I was dragged out this place as this canine followed this young miss. We finally stopped at a spot where the young miss pressed a button and waited. I stood there confused not knowing what to do.
"Serendipity is it?" I said not knowing what else to say.
"Yes, Horatio." She said my name as if teasing it. I picked an eyebrow as the canine kept making whining noises.
Suddenly out of nowhere the walls opened!!! I stepped back. Inside was a box. I was frightened and my feet wouldn't move.
~*~*~*~*
Serendipity's POV
'Would he go in already?' I taught as I grabbed the collar of his costume and pulled him inside.
"Miss, do you feel you have the right to come and pull a member of the Royal Navy. Where I come from I'm respected and-"
"Horatio," I said annoyed. "I pulled you Royal highness because the elevator was going to close and this pup is not going to be holding it for much longer."
"You mock me?" He said eyeing me as if he was ready to start his 'sword fights' with me.
The doors opened of the elevator and I walked out. I turned to see Horatio wasn't following me.
"Well?"
~*~*~*~*
Horatio's POV
I have never been afraid at land and sea, but if I ever felt fear it was at this moment. I walked out looking behind me. The funny feeling in your stomach. Been inside a box with no way out, with all these strange numbers. I felt a tug from her again. I was dragged out to the outside. How I regret wanting to go out. It was worst. Lights all over the place that it seem to blind me. Eyes looking at me and suddenly the strength of such a small canine
~*~*~*~*
"I'm surprise that puppy is holding it in." She said as she put on a pair of sunglasses. "There is a park just around the corner, there is a spot with a dog sign. Let him do his business there-Hello? Hello did you hear me?"
Horatio was distracted as he blinked and turned to her. "Did you hear me? Around the corner, go before he does it here." Serendipity said. "If he does it here, you're cleaning it up. Oh, word to the wise, let him do it behind the tree so them officers won't see you." She said as she gave Horatio a push.
"Go on, I'll be back here in about 30 minutes."
Horatio saw the young girl leave him here. He then noticed the puppy had gotten out of his collar and ran off. Horatio without thinking ran after him without knowing where this new place might take him. Meanwhile......
Nicholas was running with time knowing he'll be late for work. "As long as Horatio is in that apartment he'll be fine, just fine." He was excited. He couldn't wait to tell the others at his work that he had found a crack in time. He'll be famous for sure and get out of this poor-excuse for a city. "New York City," He taught. "Just to kill us with taxes is what this place is here for." He stood at the sidewalk and ran to the street. The light wasn't for him and he heard the sound of a tire screeching. He turned but only to feel a pain. He was flunked into the air but blacked out before hitting the floor.
A/N: Wow, so it looks like Horatio's little witness is in the hospital. Yes, I'm an evil writer. Mwahahahhah-cough cough--...... right. I did some research and I have to find a way he can find out that 'Hispanic' means I talk Spanish Hate me. LOL I actually saw Horatio Hornblower: Duty. It was so funny, did anyone see when the cook took out his belt and started whipping that man. I couldn't help but laugh. By the way I changed my mind about Maria. Horatio and a Spanish woman is sorta funny. The great love from the great hate. Romeo and Juliet kinda. Okay I talk too much. Tell me what you guys think and if I should try to get Horatio and Serendipity together. Love you all!
