LET ME OUT!!!
"LET ME OUT YOU ARROGANT PIG!"
Serena had been locked up in the room Darien had left her in for about two weeks now and she wasn't a happy bunny...
"DARIEN I NEED TO GO HOME! Stupid pain in the butt Lord. I need to go home!"
Servants had come in and out, but due to the ingenious room design, there were two doors that entered to this room. You had to open the main door, step into a small room, lock the first door behind you and then you could go through the second door to Serena's room. This is why Darien had picked this room. He knew Serena would kick, scream and generally try to escape, but she had a bad shoulder so he was only doing his moral duty by keeping her safe. Well that's his excuse.
(AN: Tehee, I can't help it, I'm making Darien completely and utterly in denial. IT'S SO FUN!!! Ok back to the story)
So far he had been the target of several projectiles thrown by Serena. Three pillows, a lampshade and lots of books.
The servants on the other hand had nothing to say bad about Serena. She was the perfect guest to them, always willing to help with heavy workloads, tell jokes and generally brighten peoples days. Much to Darien's amusement, the maids had started to spend their free days in the house talking to Serena.
Serena wouldn't change into any other clothes. She was still wearing her clothes from when Darien caught her. But since the maids liked her so much, her clothes always got put to the top of the washing pile so Serena would be able to get her clothes quickly.
"Hey Darien, so what's Sleeping Beauty thrown at you today?" Andrew teased as he walked up to Darien who was gazing at the hall of portraits.
"Nothing,"
"Oh that's a shock, lemme guess, you haven't seen her today right?"
"..."
Andrew just laughed. Serena was running circles around Darien and all Andrew could do was watch him fall, maybe even help a little...
"So Serena has scared you so bad that you can't even go into one of your own rooms in your own castle huh?" Andrew teased as he walked off to see another portrait.
"Hmpf!" Darien snorted and walked off towards Serena's room, he was going to prove Andrew wrong!
Five minutes later Andrew appeared at the first of Serena's door.
"YOU IDIOT!" Serena's yell was becoming a very common thing when Darien tries to see her. The servants had even started to take bets on what she would say to him. 2 to 1 odds on 'Idiot' and 5 to 1 odds on 'Baka' which Serena had learnt from a childhood friend of hers.
'Serena's happy, maybe I should go inn and rescue Dare...' Andrew thought, then hearing Serena yell again, Andrew gripped the first door knob opened it, lock it behind him and opened the second door.
"Ok whose dead?" Andrew asked as he saw Serena standing on the bed, book in hand aimed at Darien who was seeking refuge behind a desk. The whole bedroom had been turned into a war-zone. Various articles were flung about the room, aimed at Darien more than likely.
"Andrew!!!" Serena squealed happily dropping the book and running over to him encircling him in a hug after he opened up a window.
"Hey Serena, Darien been annoying you again?" Andrew asked looking at the small blonde in his arms. Her head nodded into his shirt.
"Yeah. He came in and asked why I was being 'disrespectful' to him. Well sorry, but I'm not in a mood to be respectable to people who SHOOT ME!!" Serena said yelling the words to Darien.
"She's got you there Dare." Andrew laughed out loud. "Ok Serena, how about if we let you out, you'll be a good girl."
"You'll let me go?" Hope filled Serena's eyes.
"I highly doubt that. You owe me girl for trying to rob me," Darien snorted coming closer to Andrew and Serena.
Andrew shook his head as Serena burrowed into his shirt for comfort. He made a mental note to make his friend a bit less mercenary. He could see Darien liked the girl, but jeez making her feel like a prisoner wasn't exactly going to endear him to her.
"Dare, you might be my friend, but shut-up!" Andrew said to Darien. Darien's eye widened in shock. Andrew had actually gotten mad at him?
"So you won't let me go?" Serena's voice said quietly.
Darien's heart felt like it had been stabbed. She looked at him. Her eyes were crystal blue, as blue as a summer sky, but were wet with tears.
"I might be able to let you go..." Darien said before he knew it.
Serena's face lit up with joy.
'Maybe there is hope for those two after all' Andrew thought as Darien had a smile on his face. 'Maybe, nah definitely'
Yep Archery's Gonna Help
"So tell me again why, when we find Serena, we can't kill her?" Raye asked as she sneezed for the forth time in thirty minutes.
"Because... erm..., Hey Mina why can't we?" Lita asked.
"Because she's SERENA! We don't go about killing each other! But haircuts are totally different... Tehee," Mina replied.
"Guys, we better find her quick," Ami reminded them. "And we are in Cunningham so I think we should spilt up and look for her individually."
Raye, Mina and Lita all agreed and went off in separate directions.
Lita went to the main pub 'The Green Leaves' saying that Serena might be hungry and could turn up there.
"So nothing to do with the cute bartender then no...?" Raye asked knowing full well the answer.
Lita just coughed and went off.
"I'm off to the archery course. Meatball head might have a price on her head and that means there gonna be rumours about where she is, so I'll see what the guys at the Archery course have to say." Raye explained as she started to walk off.
"Lemme guess Ami, you want to go to the bookshop and see what you can hear from customers right?" Mina asked, Ami nodded and walked off.
"Ok Mina, If I was Serena where would I be? Pub? Nope to dark and loads of people smoke there. Clothes shop? Nope have no cash. AH-HA! The flower gardens! I'm so SMART!" With this Mina ran off with the stares of most the town after her.
"So nothing at all?" Raye asked a nameless face at the archery course. The guys shook his head and went back to practising.
"This sucks..." Raye muttered as she strung her bow again. "Stupid Meatball head couldn't find her own way home..." Notching an arrow onto the bow string she pulled back and let it fly straight to the bulls eye 50 yards away.
Various 'well done's and 'nice shots' came to her. She smiled and just notched up another arrow.
THUMP
"Woah! That was cool!" A voice exclaimed. Raye was surprised, she hadn't fired her bow and yet people were giving praise.
"Hey Chad, can you tell me how you do that?"
'Chad?' Raye thought as unstrung her bow.
"Hey are you going already?" A voice asked.
"Yeah, things to do, places to see, people to find," She replied still intent on packing up her stuff, not even looking up at the person who had spoken to her.
"Well I was kinda hoping... that well..."
"Listen if you're gonna say something just say it!" She said angrily. She had things to do and she didn't need to listen to a guy try to pick up on her. She was still crouched on the floor. Serena was still missing and Raye only just realised that she had spent two hours here and she found out nothing.
"Erm... Well.. I was kinda wondering if we could have a competition,"
"Fine, minimum prize money is 10 crowns." She said. "Any less is not worth my time." Raye said.
'At least if I get some money I might actually be able to buy some food for everyone' Raye thought.
"Ok, I'm Chad. You're Raye right? I've heard about you. You're a legend here!" He babbled as he fumbled with the ouches on his belt. He weighed a pouch, smiled and threw it to Raye. "10 crowns."
Raye got up from her crouching position and looked at him for the first time. Dark brown eyes that were gentle and kind stared right back at her, filled with a patience even saints couldn't match. Long brown hair was tied out of the way with a simple leather string.
"Hey aren't you gonna put your money down?" Chad asked as Raye notched an arrow onto her string.
"My pride means more to me than money. You beat me you get my money and my fame." Raye answered and smiled as she shut her eyes and let the arrow fly.
"Bulls-eye,"
Authors note: I'M SOOOOOOO SORRY!!!!!!!!! But I give you 2 chappies instead of 1!!!!! ::Bows repeatedly:: I've had exams so please understand, but I will try to post more regularly now promise so RR PLEASEEEEE
