Meant to Be

Chapter 8

HI HI! Gomen that I didn't updating earlier. I computer literally went capoot. I got a new one for Christmas, but it took a while to find the right thing so I could edit this chapter for the final time. I accept constructive critism and no flames, please. I think that I might end this story in a couple of chapters. Somewhere at chapter 12, I think, so that I can have about 15 chapters including the alternative endings. Hope that you like this chapter. Sorry that it's short!

Selenity felt the bed shift a little, but gave it no thought. A large hand lightly touched her shoulder.

"Selenity, it is time to wake up." She groaned in frustration as the hand persisted to shake her gently. The bed was too cozy to get out of. But, as she started to remember where she was, she decided that it was probably best to awaken. Just think of the predicament they would be in if she were to be found in his room at this ungodly hour.

"It's about time for your lady maids to wake you up, Selenity. I have a marvelous idea."

"Well, what is it?" Selenity said as she got off his bed. She noticed that Endymion's eyes held glee like that of a child.

"You should feign to be sick. That way, if the Silver Crystal decides to cause you more pain, people will think that it is because of your illness."

"I hate to spoil you fun, but what if they call in a doctor?"

"That is were I come in handy, Princess. I have the proper qualifications for being a doctor. They have no reason to bring in a doctor when they have one so close by."

"That's brilliant!" Selenity jumped up and kissed him. Realizing what she had just done, she reeled back. Selenity was blushing with embarrassment, but that quickly subsided when Endymion's index came under her chin. He pulled his lips to hers, almost touching, lingered there. Finally, they touched. The kiss was full of love for each other that they never knew existed. When the kiss ended, they gazed into each others eyes.

"I love you. I want this to work out between us." Endymion spoke softly.

"I love you too, but you know that even if I do, for some odd miracle, live through this, that you will still have to marry Hecate." She sighed with frustration. "What have we gotten ourselves into?"

"Love." That was his simple answer.

The soft sound of clicks could be heard throughout the deserted hallway. Selenity's lady maid, Victoria, made her way into the throne room. The throne room was made completely out of white marble, but, here and there, you could find gold or light blue furniture. It truly looked like a room from the heavens. But the most important "decoration" could be seen at the very far end of the room. In all of her glory sat the Queen Serenity.

"Queen Serenity, I believe that you daughter, Princess Selenity, is sick."

"So that is why she slept in so late," the queen mumbled to herself "You are dismissed, Victoria." With a curtsy, Victoria left. Queen Serenity got up and left her seat.

With what looked like an angel, Queen Serenity was passing through corridors and hallways to get to Selenity's room. Besides the sounds of the soft clicks heard from the queen's shoes, a mans pair of boots could also be heard.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Yelled Eric

"What is it, Eric?" Queen Serenity questioned, not slowing down.

"It's gone! The maids were cleaning, and IT'S GONE!" The urgency in Eric's voice caused the queen to stop and turn around to face him.

"What's gone Eric?"

"The Silver Crystal! It's gone!"
