Chapter 2

Serenity sat in the plane as they flew over the water of the pacific. She looked like she wasn't seeing anything but instead her mind was working on several plans. Her gaze slithered over to the guard watching her carefully. She wondered if they'd send a rescue to search for them if the plane decided to take a dip into the water below. She highly doubted it, not with her as a possible survivor, they wouldn't risk it, and they'd rather let her drown at sea.

She smiled seductively at the guard. "Please, won't you keep me company?" She cooed, it was the first word she had uttered since the interview with Jadeite.

The man looked at her nervously, taking a small step back. "I'm not allowed to, I have to keep at least this amount of space between you and every one else at all times."

He was rather young, still, older than she was. Serenity batted her eyelashes. "I'm all chained up, what am I going to do?" She lifted her hands minimally to the area to which she could reach which was about two inches. "I'm terribly lonesome." She turned her usually impassive eyes on him and had him hooked; her eyes were of her greatest weapons. She could make herself look so innocent, like a newly born kitten.

"Well…" He only hesitated a few seconds. "I suppose I could talk to you for a little while."

"It'll be our own little secret." Serenity agreed as he glanced behind him to see if anybody was watching.

He took a step forward and Serenity watched with glee until he came to a standstill. "Don't even think about it." A voice hissed. "She could kill you three times before you even blink."

Serenity pouted at Jadeite. "You're no fun." She whined, the guard looked ashamed and moved to the front of the airplane. "Why can't I have a little bit of company?" She offered him one of her most innocent looks.

"You want company?" Jadeite growled and she nodded emphatically. He sat down facing her. "You'll be getting more company than you could wish for in a few hours, more than you'd want."

"But not the right type of company." She tisked, shaking her head. "I like those of a good, neutral company like that guard over there." She winked at the man who was being harassed at the moment by his co-workers. He stared at her, ignoring the ribbing comments.

Serenity was beautiful. The term lethal beauty described her perfectly. Her lips so seductive could turn and become the barer of stinging comments. Her clear blue innocent eyes could become dark and evil. She seemed so nice all the time and unaffected by the world surrounding her but that could easily turn to stone and ruthlessly kill a person without feeling the slightest hint of anger or at least showing it. Somebody of such purity was so soiled it still caught the man who knew her best off guard. She was a person of unclaimed beauty yet at the same time she could fit into a crowd and be washed away with them never to be distinguished. She had unique looks but her looks were hardly original. Blond hair and blue eyes, light skin, short, thin, the generals fit everybody. But the main differences were in how she carried herself, the hatred burning deep in her eyes and small details that didn't allow anybody to come close to being similar to her.

She was the fabled devil in disguise and she had burned him more than once. But the same could be said of him; he turned and betrayed her too many times to count.

"What attention do you want rabbit?"

Her eyes turned cool again. "That is not my name."

"Oh, I'm sorry, what is it you'd like me to call you? Princess, ice, ice princess, the Devil, Satan, Diablo, evil bitch?" He ridiculed.

"Jade." Serenity slowly looked up at him. "Quit it."

His hand reached out and went for her neck again, but this time it was a tender grasp as he ran his thumb over her jaw. "Is this what you'd like Serena?" He wondered softly. "Do you wish that this is the company you so desire?"

"Jade." She whispered, her lips parting. "Please."

He backed away from her like he had been burnt again. "Witchcraft." He muttered. "Pure witchcraft." He shook his head. "You are going away forever and hell will be wreaked upon you daily."

"Jade." She looked up at him and she looked so small and vulnerable, a deep sadness held in her blue, blue eyes.

"This time it isn't going to work." He told her and leaned back against the seat making sure there was no contact between the two of them. He lowered his eyes away from hers so he wouldn't get dragged into her spellagain."I know your games too well, find a new player."

"I would if you'd let me." She murmured. "But you can't let go."

"Always have to be the one with the last word?" He bit out.

"Yes." Her eyes flashed with amusement.
