New Friends
Basic Disclaimers and thanx to all for reviews. I luv them. And a little something 2 know, Serena is not clumsy or ditzy in this story, a little bit but not much, she is naïve, and she is pretty smart. The magically gifted can all sense auras (sp?). If that makes any sense raise your hand (no one does and crickets are heard chirping in the background) K anywayz, she just knows things because of her powers or whatever.
Important Also I am so sorry for not updating soon, the thing is the day I decided 2 start working some more on this story, my next door neighbor's/ best friend's/close to sister's/ Dimple's (her name) mom disappeared and then I was caught up in that emotionally and helping put up missing posters all the time and then a few days later they found Ila auntie's body underneath a bridge and I was totally broken, and every one was telling me to be strong for dimple and it was so hard. And then a after the funeral I was at her house every single day unless I was at my house sleeping or packing my bag 2 move 2 Canada or at a friends house crying there on her shoulder. I mean how could this happen 2 one of us I mean we r just 14 and dimples little sister is just 11. Who could of done this was the one question that was always in my head. And then three weeks after every thing I left my house looking at dimple's crying face. To the airport set on my flight to Canada. My dad gave me and my brother both new hp laptop notebooks and that cheered me up a bit. And always on our drive up to Vancouver (from Portland) I kept thinking I was seeing Ila aunty and I cried most of the trip there. When I got 2 Canada I was caught up in my two baby nephew. One is five and a half months and the other it 5 months but technically three because he was born two months early. And now here I am reminiscing everything that happened this awful summer and crying sum tears on this dumb laptop and having my brother get mad at me telling me ill ruin the computer. I miss Portland so much and I miss Dimple. I still think I'm going 2 wake up and this nightmare will be just that, just a dream. Important
I know most of u didn't read that but I'm truly am sorry and i am going to cry more if I really ruined this computer. So I know u guys are really bored by my chatter so I will stop and let u guys read and one last thing. Dimple if u ever get 2 read this I want u 2 know that my mom is just like your mom and turn 2 her for anything and that this story and another that will come way later is all in memory of you and your loving mother. Ila aunty where ever u are I hope u r happy. Now the story, sorry guys.
Serena's POV
Andrew, maybe these guys know him. – But what if it is a different Andrew and not your Andrew and you make a fool out of yourself? – Yeah but if it is him... - then you can beat the crap out of him. – What would I do that for? – For not coming to any of your birthdays of course. – Oh I knew that. Suddenly I bumped into Darien again.
"What's the hold up I asked as I looked up ahead on my tip toes. A crowd that's what. I looked around for a place where I could get a little higher to see what was going on. Then I spotted it, a balcony, actually two balconies. One was lower and the other was higher and next to the first. I started walking toward the lower of the two.
"Serena where are you going?" I heard Darien ask. I said a little cockily. I head the guys murmuring something but I didn't catch it. I looked up at the balcony, it didn't look to high. I crouched down and jumped up. Easy just like training back at home when I was younger, just there it a bit more gravity here. My hands grasped the balcony railing, I swung myself over, and I stumbled. Why oh why did my mother make me wear this dress, its so hard to move around in. I stepped onto the railing and gathered up the skirts into one and stood up onto the railing and steadied myself. I looked down, it wasn't that far down. There was no way I could get hurt and just catch myself. I jumped.
Darien's POV
I'm getting a better look what does it look like I am doing?' She said as if she were stating the obvious. She walked over to a balcony.
"You think we should help her Dare?" Malachite asked.
"I don't know...lets just wait and she if she needs our help." I said in response never moving my eyes from her.
"She probably will, how many chicks do you know that can jump that high." Said Jadeite. I watched her. She crouched down her golden locks touched the ground, and she jumped up with ease and expertise, and grabbed the railing. Dang she looks hot in that dress! – Goddess Darien stop thinking that. – It doesn't look like she likes that dress as much as I do. She tried to swing her legs over the balcony railing, but the dress got caught, revealing a large portion of her long slender legs, and causing her to stumble a bit. She's got nice legs . – Shut it Dare!.
She got onto the balcony and gathered up the dress into one hand at her side, not revealing anything except her ankles. She stepped up onto the railing, looking down and then up at the next balcony and then back down again. I think either to check if she could catch herself if she fell or maybe the fact that she might have been afraid of heights. She looked back up and jumped. Grabbing the railing with one hand and her dress on the other she quickly swung over and onto the balcony.
"She is pretty strong Jed; I don't think she needs any help." Mal remarked.
"Neither do I Jadeite I have to agree with Malachite, it's not nice to judge people by their outer appearances." She leaned over the railing that was over the center of the crowd and looked down into it. A resounding smack was heard. Serena's eyes widened in shock at the scene below her. "You will marry the one I choose for you, and if you do not agree to this I will kill you!" we looked at each other, concern written on each of there faces.
"Bu...but father I don't love..." another loud strike was heard. I looked over at Serena's reaction. She was mad, so mad that one could almost see the steam billowing out of her ears.
Serena's POV
There in the center of the ring of people stood a man his hands raised, ready to strike. At his feet (pushed down by the force by the force of the last hit) was a young girl no more than the age of fifteen. Her face was a raw red a few cuts here and there obviously caused by previous beatings, my ears caught the sound of her slight whimpering. "I do not care if you love him or not, I do not care if you love another. You shall marry whom I wish and only who I wish." The man's voice boomed as his hand came down violently coming in contact with her tear stained cheek. I could feel the anger building up inside of me. This moron was hitting his daughter.
I flipped of the balcony in between the man and what I guessed was his red headed daughter. The man's clothes were shabby and torn in a few places, and his beard seemed to hold the contents of his every meal from the past two days. His expressions were clear, his face was changing colors faster than a stoplight ( doesn't everything? lol). At first he was shocked to see, then he was mad, and then pissed.
"Who do you think you are and what do you think you are doing" he said trying to keep his voice even and calm, but failing horribly at it.
"Stopping you of course, and my name is of no concern to you," I replied just as icily, "your daughter has done nothing wrong and yet you are willing to hit her, you are no father." He turned a darker shade of red if that was even possible. He raised his hand trying to strike, the foolish Terran. I grabbed his wrist, he looked surprised, and I couldn't help but smirk. He struggled slightly trying to get away; I tightened my grip slightly trying my best not to break his wrist. . He tried to hit me with his other hand, I snatched that as well, and I saw the prince slowly walking through the crowd followed by Malachite and Jadeite. Everyone stepped aside making a path. All the villagers bowed there heads low as the guys passed and the girl eeped when she saw the prince and full out bowed.
"Highne..." the man started, but I interrupted before he could even finish his first word.
"Prince Darien, would it be alright if this young woman were to come with us to the palace?" I said as sweetly as I could manage. I dropped the mans wrist as I saw the look that Darien gave me, trying desperately to refrain my self from cleaning my hands on my dress.
"I don't think the guys would mind." He raised an eyebrow when he saw my hands twitch; I rubbed them against my thighs and smiled sheepishly. The man noticed my gesture and his eyes twitched in malcontent (twitch is my word tonight), "Would you?" he asked directing the question towards the guys.
"No, not at all!" the two stammered at the same time and I couldn't help but smile.
"Your highness this wench," he spat out the word, "is with you?" he questioned the prince. That really hurts I thought sarcastically.
"Yes the LADY is with me," he said , ice forming at his tone, his eyes turned a shade darker than the night, "and your daughter is to come with us I suppose." He stated, not asked.
"Oh no sir, it is perfectly alright, I wouldn't wish of her to be a burden." HE said as he grabbed the girl rather roughly pulled her up and away from us. I turned my gaze to the girl, her eyes held a pleading look.
"Oh, she wouldn't be a burden, and I believe she can come with us." I said as I came up behind the girl and led her away from the thing that was supposedly her father, "If I ever hear of anything like this happening again with you involve..." I let the threat hang in the air and let him contemplate a gruesome fate for himself. Prince Darien turned to me with a quizzical look on his face. I shrugged . We walked through the crowd, but instead of bowing in respect or fear s they had before they gawked at us, well at me any ways.
"Thanks a lot , "the prince whispered in my ear, the warmth of his breath sending shivers down my spine, "my dad is going to kill me if he finds out I started something like this." I froze in my tracks; I'd heard something similar to that somewhere but where?
