The necklace on Sarah's chest flashed a fiery colour and sent prismatic patterns on Darien's face. What's this?. Darien sat down carefully, on the bed, next to Sarah's sleeping body. His hand crept upward towards her necklace. Her brow furrowed, he looked up at her pained expression.
"darien! don't leave me! Please don't leave me" she moaned in her sleep. Darien pulled Sarah closer to him.
"Shhh," he crooned near her ear, slowly turning her over in his arms to embrace her. A solitary tear escaped from her closed eyelids and slowlyfelldown her face.
"Don't leave me Darien, no no no" She whispered
"It's alright, i'm here" Darien whispered, quietly. He pulled her into a tighter embrace. She slowly calmed down and her whispers turned to peaceful breaths in her sleep. Darien's gaze looked down at the beauty in his arms and then closer, at the necklace. It was blinking but was getting fainter by the second.
In the morning,
Sarah woke up from a disturbing dream and found that she was in a tight embrace. She looked up to see two kind blue eyes.
"Darien?" she quietly asked, uncertain "What are you doing here?"
"Your father told me to look after you yesterday so i came in at night, to check if you were ok" Darien told her quietly "Did you have any dreams last night?" He was looking for some answers
Sarah didn't know what to say, if she told him, he might get worried and tell her father. He might think that the necklace is doing weird things to her and take it away. She didn't want that.
"No, not that i remember of" Sarah lied expertly. She somehow was good at lying without anyone detecting that there was something fishy about what she told them "Why?" She asked suspiciously
"uh...oh...nothing" Sarah knew he was lying , there was something distant about his eyes. But she decided to leave it as it isand question no further. Instead she stared out the window, It was raining lightly and the clouds were navy. She felt safe in Darien's arms. Fow a few moreminutes, they watched the rain splatter across the window pane, enjoying eachother's company, until they heard a knock on the door
"Oh no, quick hide!" Sarah whispered urgently. She forced him out of her bed and into the bathroom "I'll open the door when it's safe" Darien nodded and Sarah quickly closed the door
"Come in"she said, nearly panting. Sarah sat at the vanity table as if she was doing her make-up.
"Their Majesties have told me to deliver you two some breakfast in bed, because it is too cld to get out of your room"A maid bwed
"er...you two?" She asked innocently, hoping that her ears decieved her
"You and Prince Darien, your majesty" the Maid answered politely
"But how...did they know Darien was here?" Said Sarah incredulously
"Well...the Majesties assumed that a pair of lovers such as yourselves would sleep in the same bed"
Sarah felt herself flush. Maid quietly left the room and Sarah opened the bathroom door. Darien came out laughing.
"What do you think you're laughing at?" Sarah looked slightly tiffed
"Oh nothing, just that my parents knew that i was here!" Darien answered, laughing
Sarah playfully hit him on the back of his head and went to the tray of goodies for breakfast. She placed it on the bed and she hopped on herself.
"Hungry?" She asked as her hazel eyes scanned the tray. It had bacon and eggs, strawberries and whipped cream and there two cups of steaming hot chocolate with marshmallows, bobbling up and down in the frothy milk.
"Starving!" Darien patted his stomach, he sat on the end of the bed, opposite Sarah who was sitting on some pillows. He picked up a strawberry dipped it in the cream and placed it into Sarah's mouth.
"Nice?"He asked eyeing her delicate features on her face
"YUP, it's my favourite dish" she grabbed the bowl and started stuffing her face. Darin watched her adorable face, her sweet pink lips getting smeared with whipped cream. She noticed his gaze and she blushed. He leaned over towards her
"Let me get that" he whispered. He was so close he could count her freckles. She blushed even more. Darien caught her off guard and licked the cream off and then started kissing her passionately.
a month later
Sarah stopped having her bad dreams and had moved on, spending all her time in Darien's arms. One day, out of the blue, Darien proposed to her.
"YES, I ACCEPT" she screamed with glee as Darien bent down on one knee and held up a sparkly, diamond ring.Darien laughed happily as he swept her off her feet.
"Oh darien" she sighed as they left the gardens"when will we have our wedding?"
"This week if you like" Darien nipped her ear. She giggled in response
"oh my god" Exclaimed Mina as she inspected Sarah. Sarah twirled aroung inelaborate wedding gown. It was a white, sleevless, figure hugging dress with a baby pink bow placed right above her bottom. A glittering tiara perched on her head. Her hair was let out, and freely covered her shoulders with chocolate brown hair.
"The final touch" Lite said proudly as she placed a bouquet of deep red roses in Sarah's trembling hands.
"Don't be nervous Sarah, you look beautiful" Assured Amy
"Trust me Darien will think you're the most sexiest thing alive" Raye winked. Sarah flushed.
"Well, i guess it's time to face the music" Sarah sighed unable to control her little heart beating 1000k per hour.
"Man, you look worried" Jedeite commented quietly as he saw Darien fidget with his tuxedo. He was growing hot from all the nerves he was getting, his hands were sweaty inside his starch white, cotton gloves.
They were at the alter, waiting for the princess to walk down the aisle. Darien eyes scanned over the hundreds of heads sitting down on the benches. Royalties
"You're one lucky dude, you know. The princess is quite a beauty" remarked Neflite. He quickly hushed as the church organ started to play, everyone stood. And every head snapped back to see two large doors open and Apollo leading his daughter down the red carpet.
"Yes, she is" Darien quietly said, he was mesmerized. His eyes bulged as she saw her body move towards him. She was his angel.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride" The preist smiled.
Darien quickly engulfed Sarah's soft lips within his own, she sighed happily. Moments later, she broke the kiss.
"I'm hungry" she said innocently, as if she were a child. He gave her a boyish smile and led her into the ballroom. Suddenly a scream pierced the air. Sarah's head snapped towards a maid running frantically towards them. Sarah immediately dropped her bouquet and ran towards the maid, nearly tripping on her dress.
"THE NEGA-MOON" She screamed "THEY'RE HERE!"
"oh my god" Sarah whispered.
Darien shouted for everyone to stay calm and return to their homes immediately. He grabbed Sarah by the wrist and pulled her away from all the commotion and into the gardens
"You have to go" he whispered
"NO, I WON'T LEAVE YOU" she clung to his body. That was when she heard laughter above them she lifted her quivering head to see Queen Beryl and...that face i've seen it before...THE MAN FROM THE FOREST .
Darien wound his arms protectively around her soft body.
"Oh look at the pair of love birds, such a shame we'll have to be killing them" jeered Beryl, atop a black cloud. She threw ablast of black energy towards them. Darien blocked off the energy from Sarah and took it all.
"DARIEN" Sarah screamed as he crumpled on the grass. He lifted his gloved hand up towards Sarah's cheek and said his last words I love you
"NOO Darien! don't leave me! Please don't leave me" She sobbed uncontrollably.
Saphhire laughed mercillesly, "Good riddance" He secretly hoped that the queen wouldn't go for Sarah next
Anger poured into Sarah's soul. She looked up with a scowl.
"You" she seethed at the queen. Her necklace flashing dangerously and the royal sun sign appearing on her forehead. The evil queen knew this sign, danger, she is powerful, normally princesses don't have this power. i better weaken her. She threw another bolt of dark energy at the princess, with incredible power. It hit Sarah with full blast and she fell, next to her dead husband.
Sapphire couldn't help himself, and he looked away. Sarah looked to Darien next to her. She struggled to stand up, but when the queen saw Sarah's eyes, they were full of determination. Her necklace and forehead were glowing brightly now and emitted a gold light, with a sudden burst of light and energy, the queen and Sapphire dissappeared into nothing but black dust. Sarah fell back on the grass next to Darien, and slowly, the world seemed to get darker and darker, until it was black.
