C H A P T E R 2: M E M O R I E S

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Enjoy and remember to review! Ciao!



"Serenity! What are you doing there?" Asked an open-mouthed Danny staring at Serenity who was lying down at the flowerbeds in the castle's garden.

She slowly opened her eyes, adjusting her vision of Danny and all the flowers surrounding her. "Leave me alone, Danny. I want to sleep."

"If you want to sleep. You have a big bed in your room!" Danny said stubbornly and sat down beside Serenity.

"I want to sleep here, it smells good." Serenity mumbled sleepily.

Danny smiled while looking at the beautiful golden-haired princess lying down the grass and flowers. Suddenly he recalled something.

Flashback...

"Where is Serenity?" Darien asked Danny angrily. "I swear if she's hurt. I'm going to make your life a living hell!" Darien swore.

"Gee, what a lovable brother!" Danny sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Danny!" Darien shouted threateningly.

"Okay! She's in your favorite garden." Danny said exasperatedly, raising his hands up as a sign of surrender.

Darien gave Danny a glare and left hurriedly and Danny followed his elder brother. When they arrived in the garden, Serenity was lying down in the flowerbeds snoring slightly and her hair scattered prettily covering the ground with yellow strands.

"Isn't she the most beautiful girl you have ever seen?" Darien asked him with a tender voice he had never heard before in his whole life.

"Yes, she is the most beautiful indeed." Danny agreed and stared at the pretty serene girl who made his brother's life a paradise. "Maybe we should bring her to her bed." He suggested.

"Serenity, we'll take you to your bed. It's much more comfortable there." Darien nudged her slightly while stroking her soft, blonde hair.

Serenity opened her large aquamarine eyes and turned to her other side and slept again.

"Serenity! Wake up." Danny said while laughing at her. "Okay! If you won't then I'll move you upstairs!" He proclaimed.

Serenity sat up straight and rubs her eyes. "Danny! Why do you always destroy lovely sleep? I want to sleep here. The smell of the roses makes me sleep and it gives me sweet dreams too!"

"If that's what you want, you can sleep here all day long." Darien said to Serenity while kissing her hand.

"Well, I'm awake thanks to you two!" Serenity pouted and giggled when Darien kissed her neck. "Darien! It tickles!"

End of flashback...

Danny stood up and left the sleeping princess. "I hope you remember something about Darien because he wouldn't want you to forget him. He loved you more than anyone and even more than his self." Danny whispered to her ear before leaving her and heading towards the castle.

It was already late in the afternoon and the sun was slowly being covered by the clouds. The sky was already gray and the wind was blowing strongly. Serena rubbed her eyes and stared warily at the clouds while feeling the wind brush against her skin.

She picked up a rose and plucked it's petal. She looked at the petals fall into her skirt one by one. She continued to stare at the flower even when the petals were already gone and only the stem was left.

"Why?" She asked herself. "Why do I feel like something has happened to me in this place before?"

Suddenly her head begun to throb and she felt dizzy. She closed her eyes and tried to steady herself but the darkness was spinning around her and a brief memory came to her like a sudden lightning flashing in the sky.

Flashback...

"Darien, don't leave yet. Look at the sky, doesn't it look lovely?" Serenity urged Darien while grabbing his hands to make sure he's not leaving.

"What's so lovely about that? It's more like dull and boring." Darien answered and began to put on his boots.

"Oh hush! Can't you appreciate nature? The color may be dull but if you try to feel it. There's something more, an unexplainable feeling." Serenity said softly and took a deep breath.

"Really?" Asked Darien looking at the sky and holding her hand. He stared at it for a long time and suddenly his eyes widen and he looked at her.

"Well, there's something isn't it?" Serenity grinned.

"Yes, I feel something. A weird but good feeling." Darien said and smiled affectionately at her.

"This is what I feel when were together." Serenity said suddenly.

Darien scrunched his nose and raised a brow and asked her, "Am I really that dull?"

"Hahaha! No silly! What I mean to say is that when I look at the sky. I feel special and wonderful and when we're together. I feel exactly the same. I feel like there a thousand butterflies in my stomach." Serenity said laughing heartily.

"Princess! You make my heart burst with joy." Darien laughed and kissed her cheeks.

End of flashback...

Tears came flowing down her eyes and she stared at the sky again before standing up and heading towards the castle.

In the next two weeks, Serenity spent her time sleeping in the garden and learning much about Darien. She went into the library and opened large photo albums of Darien and reading his journal.

Sometimes, when she reads something about her in his journal. She giggles and talks to herself and the journal imagining it was Darien whom she was talking to.

"Danny? When is Darien coming back?" Serenity asked one day when they were eating lunch in the garden.

"I don't know." Answered Danny with a grim face.

"Okay." She muttered and ate her sandwich in silence.

Danny looked at her and his features soften. "You must be anticipating the moment when you see him. Do you remember something about him?" He asked.

"Yes, but it was only the time where we were in the garden talking about the sky." She answered lightly.

"So you remembered at least something." Danny said and smiled a lopsided grin. "I'm sure he'll be coming soon when he sense that you need him. You two were always so connected with each other."

Serenity smiled happily and said, "I hope so." Then she closed her eyes and prayed to God that one day Darien would come back to her.



This is chapter two: Memories. She didn't recover her full memory yet but sooner or later when she gets to meet Darien and YES! Darien will finally show up! She would remember everything from the day the two of them first met. Next chapter is "Stranger with a message." Please review and tell me what you think! See you all and God bless!!!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
