Betrayal of the Rose: Chapter One- A Midsummer Night's Rescue
The wall of one end of the apartment rippled, distorted, a portal opening as a girl in a sailor fuku stepped through. She glanced around the room hurriedly, her eyes taking in the surroundings as quickly as they could as she ran through the apartment, rapidly approaching the back bedroom. A plain, unadorned silver staff appeared in her hands as she ran through the opened door towards the grappling figures next to the bed. She suddenly jammed one end of her staff against the underside of the man's jaw, knocking him away from the young woman. Grabbing the young woman's hand, she ran with the struggling girl out of the apartment and down onto the deserted street. They ran another few blocks before reaching a park, where the sailor-suited girl allowed them to stop and catch their breath.
"Are you alright, Princess?" the girl asked of the elder, who was sitting on a bench in front of her. The young woman looked up in surprise; the silence between them was broken.
"Who are you? How do you know who I am?" She asked, wary of the mysterious girl. "Why did he do that to me? Do you know? Tell me!" Her voice rose with each passing moment; she was working herself into a frenzy. "Please! If you know anyth-", the girl had laid a finger over the elder's lips, effectively silencing her.
"You will know all in time. Soon everything will be explained. All you must know right now is that the Prince has shown his true colors and finally betrayed your trust. I had hoped for your sake that this day would not come, but he seems to have had other plans… I know it will be tempting, but please, Princess, I beseech you- do not approach the Prince again. He will attempt this however many times it takes; he will not be discouraged easily. I'm sorry, but I must go. My time is short, but I will return soon. Goodbye, Serenity." With that, the girl waved her staff and the air rippled and distorted once again, opening another portal, and stepped through.
Once back on the other side of the portal, the girl detransformed and slumped to the floor, her energy spent. "Please, Serenity, take my advice and don't go searching for Endymion again." She said in a quiet voice, watching the other girl as she searched around the park, confused, and finally made her way home. The girl sighed and closed her eyes, finally surrendering to sweet slumber upon the cold marble floor.
Yes, I know, I know, another short chapter. The next will definitely be longer, but for now, I just want to get through the beginning… The other scouts will show up soon and Mamoru's plans will be revealed (at least a portion of them, otherwise the story would be spoiled). The g-boys will show up somewhere in the next few chapters, I promise.
To the reviewers:
"Ahh whatever": "fuku" means uniform. Thank you for the compliment, and the dark side can be fun, can't it? evil smile I work there part time. The other half of the time, I'm in the light. It's a great life…
"Kai's Moonlight Angels" and "Jessie": Thank you for your reviews!
"Choas Babe": Hey! I'm glad you found the new story! I'm sorry I discontinued "Wait for Eternity", but that I just kinda lost inspiration for it. I do hope you like this rewrite, though.
Hope you all liked the new chapter and remember to review, peoples!
