Chapter 2:

'Miss Evans!' Serena heard the call while she opened her eyes with reluctant, finally recognize where she was, she sat up from the bathtub and wrapped her naked self into the large white towel.

'Coming!' Serena answered. She tiptoed out of the bathroom and sat on the chair in front of her make-up desk.

'What would you like for this special day, Madame?' The red-haired maid questioned quietly.

'Something simple, Sophie.' Serena smiled at the reflection in front of her and repeated, 'Something simple.'


'Oh welcome, Sir Kennedy Putnam!' Beryl greeted all the famous businessmen and royal members from Japan as they entered the Mansion. Beryl was wearing a low-cut tight red dress that reveals every single curve on her body.

The Mansion was huge, it was painted with cinnamon colour and sophisticated lamps hanged on the high roof. There was a staircase attached to the wall on the right hand side of the entrance door. The railings were shined with gold (or was it made out of gold?) and the smooth glamorous floor, glimered from one end of the room to another from the pale marble.

'Oh! Mr and Mrs. Herald, how are you doing?' Beryl checked her diamond Swiss watch; 6:30. She looked up once again and at the moment, her heart sunk. What she saw was an extremely attractive man walking towards her. She blinked her fake eyelashes with disbelief that such a flawless man ever exist, but then the moment she opened her eyes, he was nowhere to be seen.


Beryl strode into the enormous dining room as she daydreamed about the mysterious man. Unconsciously, she raised her wrist to check the time again. '7:00'

'Ladies and gentleman!' The announcer called out from the large speakers, 'Please welcome our birthday Princess, Miss Serenity Tsukino Evans!'

The applause echoed in the large crowded hall. On the top of the staircase appeared a white angel, beautiful and untainted. She wore an elegant white mask that revealed a tint mystery in her. Her movement was light and graceful.

'Did I hear you right

'cause I thought you said

Let's think it over

You have been my life

And I never planned

Growing old without you'

The music started, couples started to dance, individuals joined too. Serena slowed down her pace of going downstairs as she observed around for her beloved father.

'Where are you, dad?' Serena murmured eagerly. She soon spotted her sister gazed back at her and gave her the look that said, 'He's off again.' Instantly, her smile fell, she shifted into one of the seats in the hall and was in a state of heartbreak.

'Shadows bleeding through the light

Where the love once shined so bright

Came without a reason

Don't let go on us tonight

Love's not always black and white

Haven't I always loved you?'

'May I?' The voice of a saint was heard in Serena's ears. She looked up with her despaired eyes, and then. Something happened. Something incredible happened when two pairs of lonely eyes intercepted.

Serena stared at the tall man with tuxedo suit. His face covered by the white mask, but his beauty remained. She stretched her right hand to the man's extended arm and that was their first touch. Both of their bodies tingled with pleasure.

'But when I need you

You're almost here

And I know that's not enough

And when I'm with you

I'm close to tears

'cause your only almost here'

Serena took a glimpse of the man as they floated on the dance floor. She no longer felt the loneliness she had always felt and the man made her felt so – secure. (see the irony! The irony! Lol!) She was glad that he was here when she needed someone, he was so close, he had made her tears disappear.

'I would change the world

If I had a chance

Oh won't you let me

Treat me like a child

Throw your arms around me

Oh please protect me'

'…love…' Serena whispered the word. She was well aware of this eccentric feeling, but she desired for more, she wanted this moment of time to stop. She wanted to- be with this stranger, forever.

'You're amazing.' The man sighed.

'Bruised and battered by your words

Dazed and shattered how it hurts

Haven't I always loved you'

She felt her whole body boiled with excitement. She wanted more of this sensation, yet she was afraid of it also. 'What if this is just a dream, what if when I wake up tomorrow, I was left all alone again?'

'love' Serena repeated softly. She didn't comprehend the meaning of the word, but that was all she could say at that instant.

'But when I need you

You're almost here

And I know that's not enough

And when I'm with you

I'm close to tears

'cause your only almost here'

It could have been the music, because at that moment, tears prickled Serena's eyes and she wasn't certain if it had been happiness for the present or the sadness for the doubt that her might not be able to see this man again. This man was so close to her, yet at the same time, he wasn't really there. She felt she knew him so much, yet she knew nothing of him. She was terrified, just at the thought of been lonely, again.

'Bruised and battered by your words

Dazed and shattered now it hurts

Haven't I always loved you'

Serena tilted her head up to see the man's eyes. They were, also lonely. She wondered if this man was as alone as she was, maybe not as much. In that pair of sapphire eyes, she spotted sadness, anger and desperation.

'Are you one of my kind?' Serena wondered.

'But when I need you

You're almost here

Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you

And when I hold you your almost here

She held him tight for security. 'Why would it matter anyway.' She argued, 'It might be better if we don't know each other.' They were so close, she no longer felt lonely, she was actually happy and she was in - '…love…' She was shocked at what she had just confessed. Sure, it could've been true, but she didn't want that! She never wanted that! Heck, She didn't even know the man's name!

Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted

And now I'm with you I'm close to tears

'cause I know I'm almost here

Only almost here'

A shed of tear fell. She remembered the witch card from this morning, she was told she was going to fall in love tonight but no way was she ready for it. 'No!' She said to herself, 'I do not love this man! No!' She looked up at the man and she lost it, she knew she lost it.

'Are you alright?' The man asked.

Without a word, Serena freed herself from the man and disappeared on the dance floor.
