Beneath The Moon
Happy Birthday Serena-
The corsett was pulled tighter and more into place. Serena was accustomed to these things fiting so tight. She slipped the gown on which was made of an emerald, and silvery type of material. It had moon cresents all over it and it was so beautiful Serena wanted to cry. But she decided she had done enough of that last night.
"Madame, you are the most beautiful women in all the universe"Kaley the maid who was helping her get dress smiled.
"Thank you, Kaley. You are kind, but beauty does not rule a kingdom."
"Of course my lady. Just your beauty outshines everyone. Perhaps you should put on this. It came a few moment ago." She handed Serena a box. Inside was a beatiful necklace made of pure emerald with a silver clasp.
"This is beautiful. Whose it from?"Serena asked in awe.
"No card came with it my lady. I'm sorry." She helped the princess put the necklace on and it glowed with a deep green but the glow soon faded. Serena countiued to admire herself in the mirror. Her hair was done up into a bun with gentle ringlets falling about her face. She was sure her pale hair would make everyone gasp. A sudden urge came over her, and she knew it was her mother telling her to hurry.
She wrinkled her nose in disdain, and sighed as she stood. She saw Kaley bowing and she shook her head. "Please stop, Kaley. I know it is your duty but I am no better than anyone else." The girl looked up into her kind princess's face and nodded.

Serena had been standing in this ball rom for more than twenty minutes and she couldn't believe no man had asked her to dance. None at all. She sighed feeling she should be happy about this but she noticed her protectors were all dancing. She looked to her mother who seemed to be nodding her head to the gentle music. She turned back to look once more but her view was blocked by someone.
"My lady,"the voice she dreaded said. She looked up into Darien's cold blue eyes.
"Yes my prince"Serena hated being all formal, but to please her mother she went along with it.
"Would you care to dance?"
Serena was about to refuse but looked to her mother who was frowning. She accepted and they moved onto the floor. "What are you up to, Darien." She spat at him.
He smiled. "I have absolutely no clue what your talking about. All I did was take notice that you had not been asked to dance by any of these men, and felt I should take the responsibility of doing so." Arrogance, utter arogance was in his demeanor.
"A pity dance"her eyes grew wide at the thought.
"Whatever you want to call it, Serena. But I see no reason why you have to call it that. Now smile or people will start to think you are not happy, and you do know how people talk." He dipped her slowly.
"I do not give a damn what people think!"she forcefully whispered to him.
"Serena I'm shocked at your words, but please countinue. I like it when you get all mad." Darien grinned at her as he twirled her out then brought her back into him.
"Do you know why?"she asked suddenly.
"Know what?"
"Why no man has danced with me this evening, on my birthday." She looked as if she were about to cry.
"Please Serena. No tears."Darien chided. "The reason no man has danced with you, is because who would dare touch the Prince of Earth's bride. They all see you have accepted my gift to become my wife, which is why."
Serena's eyes widened and she couldn't make her mouth open. It was like she was having an out of body expirience. Finally she found her voice. "Why, you hate me."
"Quite the contray my bride, I desire you like I desire no one else. You are the one thing in this universe I have yet to take possession of. Your beauty is unmatched, your heart unwon. I, Serena, will own all that is yours." He kissed her forehead.
Serena felt as if her knees were weak and about to buckle. She couldn't believe it, as she looked to her mother for help, but she was looking else where in the room. She couldn't believe she was going to marry Darien, the most self centered man in the universe. The coldest unfeeling man she'd ever met, all because of the damn kneclace she was wearing, that she had put on without thinking. She found her voice and whispered brokenly. "You tricked me."
"No, I simply sent a present, you accepted it, and will know become my wife."
"But you decieved me"tears slipped down her face.
"Deal with it, princess." He said as she turned to slowly walk away. "Oh and Happy Birthday Serena."
