"Life Turned Upside Down"
Chapter 10
By: Tranquill MoonBunny
[Darien's POV]
When the girls finally returned to the limo, somehow unnoticed by the guards again, they seemed to be dragging a dazed Serena. Her eyes were clouded over, blocking off all view to what the angel might be thinking.
I acted on impulse and began my usual uproar about how stupid Serena was, and this time added the fact that the girls had lost their minds as well. They all took it without a word…that is, except for Serena. She didn't even seem to be paying attention to me as I ranted on, but as soon as I got to the part about there being a so called monster outside our confines, she stated in a neutral voice, with a hint of authority… "Oh, do shut up Darien! Save it for next time…I'm too tired to participate in your little game right now!"
I was practically shocked out of words. She had managed to throw me off once again…I had no comeback. So I was reduced to sitting back and mumbling angrily to myself. The girls seemed to relax at their friend's words, but I also spotted a hint of worry on their faces.
'Why do they look so worried?'
'Is it Serena?'
But my wondering stopped about there, because at that point, I found myself standing at the entrance to the 'house'. It was time to forget my worries, at least for a little while, and go watch some new release movies in the home entertainment room.
'One great thing about being the vice president's son, and staying at the White House…And yes, I know there are a lot more then one…but anyways…this place has a nice cozy 30 seat, miniature IMAX theater, all for the viewing pleasure of the first family…Ahhhhhhh, isn't life great.'
Serena had gone upstairs already. I had seen how her knuckles had tuned white from the death grip she was giving the railing, and I had to hold myself back from helping her, with the knowledge that the help would not be appreciated…at least not by me. I don't know, I feel that this fact should have affected me less then it really did. At that moment, I felt like I had just lost a small part of myself…but I managed to recover quickly.
'Maybe it's these knew super powers…Man I can't believe that I'm a Super Hero…Me…I can't wait to tell Andrew…wait a minute, I can't tell him…I can't tell anyone! This sucks!'
'Well…maybe it's not THAT hard…I can do this! I am Tuxedo Mask…dorky name, but it works…I am the protector of Sailor Mooo…' (snore)
By this time, I was already sitting in the theater room, alone, dozing off to the opening credits of ALADDIN! My last coherent thought was rudely cut off, by the fact that I had just entered a deep sleep, in which my latest of repetitive dreams played in my mind.
{Dream}
There I am, surrounded by roses. There are so many different shades of pink ones, blue ones, purple, etc. I can even see a small cluster of black roses, hidden near some pure white ones. It's a strange feeling that comes over me then, as if I'm in my home. This is where I belong. My natural habitat…not that over exaggerated building a few meters away, that they like to call a castle. I'm free…for the moment, until my friends figure out where I've stormed off to. And I doubt that will give me much time to give a thorough check up on my precious gardens. It has been days since I've had the chance.
I am walking on the path that leads to my favorite part of my sanctuary. At the end of this walk way, stands my red rose garden. Practically every rose which grows in this place, is perfectly colored to the reddest shade of red imaginable, almost to the point that I might call them my blood roses.
That's when I finally hear it, the tiniest sound, yet loud enough for me to make out a small gasp. I know it's not mine, and my generals would surly not be playing hide and seek. I walk faster. Could it be that someone has been able to penetrate the castle's defenses without so much as a guard yelling? Might this man be a danger?
There is a breeze from out of no where! I see white material floating in the air, coming from behind that pillar. What is that?
"Is anyone there?...Show yourself!" I hear the words escape my lips before I even know what I am doing.'
{Dream Change}
The guards did not spot me…Thank the gods! I must find Serenity, and tell her my news. I have longed for this very moment for days, and yet it seems I dread what the outcome must insure. Is all lost? Can it be that evil will prevail this time?
'Stop it Endymion, You know very well that thinking these thoughts will get you no where. You must find your princess, and ease her worries about you!' The little voice told me, and practically controlled all my movements henceforth.
To be precise, I couldn't care less if a monkey was controlling me at this moment, for this is when I spotted my dear Princess Serenity. All specs of reality vanished from my mind to be replaced by the lovely images of my love descending the grand staircase. But what is this? She seems as though she is almost ready to cry.
' But what dare make this angel cry…or who…?'
Just then I realized that Serenity must be worried about the events on earth, including myself. I walked over to the staircase, ready to place a beautiful smile upon her lips. She does not se me yet. I will change that!
"May I have this dance Princess? It very well may be our last…" I said, placing my hand on top of hers.
"Of course…Endymion!" She smiles
{Dream Change}
The pain is excruciating. It seems like fire is running through my veins. This is the end, I can feel it…I know.
The witch is still cackling, at her work. She wanted me, but now she will be just as glad to let no one have me…not even my dear Serenity... but what of Serenity?
I manage to open my eyes. Hers are squeezed shut, but still tears escape. Just then I fell the tremendous pain in my heart. OH… It hurts much more than this single body wound. My whole mind and soul are being ripped.
I raise my hand to her sobbing face. She quickly opens her beautiful blue eyes, and looks into mine. Tears still falling…never ceasing. I only hope she does not suffer long without me. She is alive…thanks to me…that is all I care about!
"Do not cry my love!" Oh it hurts to speak.
Is this how the fairy tale ends. Shall we ever be together.
"Endymion...please…Do not leave me!" She asks the impossible of me, knowing very well that this could be our last seconds together. By the gods, she is beautiful.
{End Dream}
I wake up to the ending credits of the movie. My mind is having a hard time trying to adjust to reality. But what is weird, is the fact that thought this is a dream, I can still feel the invisible wound in my side. Such is the case, each time I fall asleep. The dream is a powerful one, and who knows what it could be trying to tell me. Anyways, it's not like I'm not going to ponder about it next time, so might as well skip this whole annoying issue until then. I out of here…I've got to go get ready to go out in like…5 minutes…shit….need to hurry…Andrew will be here any second…(KNOCK KNOCK)

I know, it's really just a repeat of the last chapter, but I had to. I needed to explain it from Darien's point of view, which I didn't get to do last time. So this is it. Next time will be really better. And I do mean really better. It's the like one of the high points next chapter, so DO NOT MISS!!!!
Well send me a lot of reviews, hopefully not mean ones. THANK YOU!
P.S.
I might be putting out another story out very soon, so be watching for it.
