Serena's POV
She woke up to find herself lying on a bed and for a second she thought she was back in her own bedroom. The room she was in was as large as hers on the moon. The bed was definitely a King size bed, and there were two large closet and a Victorian dresser that looked like it was made out of pearl. As she sat up on the soft bed, a women quickly ran to her side helping her to sit up. She was probably in her fifties. Her hair was sparkling silver in a tight bun behind her head. She was dressed in a silk dress that looked delicate as well as comfortable. She was a plump old women who had a smile of an angel; her eyes were sky blue with so much warmth and compassion that it seems to soothe those who looked into them. At least that is what those eyes were doing as Serena looked at them now. She felt peace. The women put her hands on Serena's as a comforting gesture. "Princess Serenity" the women said "how are you feeling?" she asked. Serena was at loss of words. She was so shocked it must have showed on her face because the instant the women asked her question, she quickly said " I'm sorry. I did not introduce myself." She said as she put a hand to her heart. "My name is Luna and this is my husband, Artemis" she said, pointing to an old man that had just entered her room. He was as old as his wife. He smiled as Serena looked his way. Artemis had a charming smile, just like his wife. But his eyes were more than his wife's; it carried a lot of humor and mischief. "Now" Luna said as she turned her attention back to Serena "I will answer all of your question as soon as you answer mines." She said "How are you feeling? Any headaches or dizziness?" she asked with a worried look. "No" I answered "I am feeling very well. Thank you" she said.
"Well now, any questions?" Artemis asked as he seated beside his wife. Serena paused a moment before asking. She didn't know what to ask first; there was so much in her mind. There were so many questions running in her head so she just decided to ask what came to her mouth. "Am I back on the moon kingdom?" "No dear, you are still on Earth here in our home." Luna said. "How did I get here and how do you know who I am?" she asked. She was way confused. In truth, confused could not even describe what she was feeling at this very moment. "We were summoned by the queen the moment she knew you were missing. She told us to find you and shelter you until you felt like you want to come home. We found you by your aura. As you know everyone has a different aura, especially a royal of the moon." Luna answered, "To your second question" Artemis said. "Luna sort of answered that as well, however there is more. You are our Princess. Even if the Queen did not summon us, the moment you landed on Earth, we would have been able to sense your presence." He continued. "You look exactly like your mother so there is no mistaking. The power that is emanating from you is proof enough"
"Who are you?" Serena asked "How can you live on Earth and claim to know my mother?" she asked. Still confused of what little information she had. "Princess," Luna said "we are from the moon. We were sent to earth when you were merely a baby." Luna continued "we are acting as a foreign embassy on this planet. We are here to monitor Earth as well as to keep foreign affairs between both planets stable as is in other planets as well." "Here on Earth," Artemis continued for Luna "we do not act as ambassadors. We pose as regular class citizens. Not even the king and queen knows of our identity except that they know we exist on their planet. They respect our privacy. Any communication is by mail by a messenger who would not reveal our address even if he has to die to protect it." "Oh" Serena said, a little surprised and taken aback by all the information that she is getting.
"So, princess Serenity" Luna said "just Serena" Serena interrupted "ok" Luna said smiling "we will answer more questions later. We both know you are still confused, but there will be time after you finish your dinner." "Dinner?" Serena interrupted again. "Yes, dinner" Luna said "you have been sleeping for about five hours now. You were exhausted from being in the sun for too long-especially for a person who does not encounter such very often." Luna said.
Her dinner consisted of baked chicken and mash potatoes and a cup of red wine which were pretty tasty since she had not eaten all day. She had her dinner in her room since she needed time for herself to think and sort things out. It seems like Luna and Artemis had understood what she needed because after they had brought in her food they left and promised to return in half an hour. They had kept to their promise because in a half an hour, they had returned. They smiled then seated themselves by her bed again. Luna then clapped her hand once, calling in a made to carry away the food. "Whenever you need something" Luna said "just clap your hands. The maids will be at your service."
"also" Artemis said " nine out of ten servants here are Lunarian, so don't be afraid if they seem to know too much about you. Even those that are not Lunarians are loyal to us. So there are no fears about your identity."
"So how was dinner, Princess?" Luna asked "it was tasty" Serena replied with a smile. Then added "The wine is very rich. Exquisite. I might add" "it reminds me of the ones we have at home" she said. "You are quite right, Princess." Artemis said. "this is the same wine from the moon. Luna and I brew them each year. We would send half to the palace and the other half we would sell here on Earth." He continued " Our wine is accepted in the royal palace here on earth as well. The king and Queen, as well as the nobles and warriors of high rank would pay anything to purchase our wine." Artemis stopped. Then looked as Serena seriously. "That brings us to another point I would like to discuss with you. With our reputation in winery, we are very popular amongst the highest society of Earth and any new members of the family will be noticed right away." Artemis said. "therefore, we must claim that we are your Aunt and Uncle, and that you are our visiting niece." "is there a problem that you would like to discuss then, princess" Artemis asked gently. "I know that this is unusual for you and we would understand if you would prefer otherwise" "oh no that would be just fine, Artemis" Serena said. She looked at Luna who just stood their looking worried. "Don't worry" Serena said "I don't mind at all. All I am worried about is if my mother had given you strict rules for me." Serena finally revealed what was bothering her. "Well, actually." Luna said "the Queen did not mention anything about what you can and cannot do. All she requested was that we shelter and protect you come time you need us." Luna said. Serena sighed with relief. "that was all I was worried about actually" Serena said to Artemis and Luna " I actually ran away from the moon to have a little freedom so I was afraid when you told me my mother had requested that you came to get me. Now that I know she does not ask much, I feel so relieved." "I will be able to sleep well tonight" Serena said happily.
Artemis and Luna sighed too. "Now that the serious topic was discussed,.."Artemis said "I can get back to being myself again. I hate being serious." Artemis said good-humoredly. Luna smiled then tried to look sternly at Serena as she asked "now, what did you do before we had got to you?" Serena then went onto telling Luna and Artemis all of what happened to her the moment she woke up that morning. She told them about the five men but did not mention their names. Then she went onto saying how they had insisted her safety and how she had to change behind the bush. Right then, Luna tightened her hand on Serena, looking worried as a mother hen who couldn't find one of her chicklings. "Don't worry so much Luna," Serena said "they were real gentlemen. They did nothing. They had never even touched me." She then continued her story with going on the exploration and then the feeling she had before she fell to the ground.
When she finished, Luna and Artemis just sat there contemplating on her story then said that she was lucky to have come across those men because if she were to have been spotted by some barbarian, she might not be so safe. "that was a long day you had, Serena" Artemis said smiling and planted a kiss on her forehead. "now I think you should rest." Luna nodded in agreement than gave Serena a big hug then planted a kiss on her forehead. "Good night dear" Luna said. Then they both left leaving Serena to laying peacefully on her bed. She then drifted into a deep sleep filled with beautiful dreams.
Serena opened her eyes as the first ray of sunshine hit her room. She took a short bath, then dressed. She walked out of her room to explore the new home that she were to stay. It was spacious, long corridors and numerous rooms. She then found a garden. It was filled with a variety of plants and flowers. All of which she had already seen on the moon. She sat on a bench in the garden for about half an hour breathing in the morning air then stood up to find Luna and Artemis. When she couldn't find either of them she then sought out a maid that was dusting the tables and chairs. The maid was about her age, with brown curly hair and little freckles on her cheeks. She was fairly attractive and she was Lunarian. Even through Luna's and Artemis' attempt to cover the crescent moon on the back of her left hand, Serena was able to see through the magic. People in the Royal family or of noble ranks have the insignia on their forehead while commoners have them on their hands either left or right. She found out that the girl's name was Nacola and that Nacola had informed her that Luna and Artemis were still asleep. "Nacola" Serena said "I want to take a tour of this city. Tell Luna and Artemis, when they are awake, that I will be home before sunset." "very well, milady" Nacola said, then bowed. "would you like to eat breakfast before you leave?" Nacola asked. "That would be fine" Serena said. She then ate some biscuits and drank some milk. Then she bid the maid goodbye then left.
She found herself wandering the busy marketplace. It was loud, full of children, laughing and playing. The business owners and customers bargaining for a reasonable price. This very essence reminds her of the marketplace in the moon. The hustle and bustle and the commotion. She paused by a little cart that was selling jewelries. She picked up a star locket that was a size of a coin. She learned from the owner of the cart that the locket is made of pure gold. It is a necklace that holds a diamond, but according to the man, the diamond must be bought separately. It cost 200 sheeks. Serena had no money so she placed the locket back on the little table. She told the man that she didn't have any money and walked away. Her eyes lingered on the locket before she continued her exploration. She walked past a few more carts then came upon a butcher. "excuse me sir," she said "can you tell me where I can find a garden around here?" she asked. He looked at her then studied her for a moment "you are not from around here are you?" he asked "No" she said "I am just visiting a family member" she said of handedly. " "Well miss, you should be careful then, these streets might be crowded but it is not safe. My wife's purse was stolen right in front of her face but she could not even catch him." He said. She smiled "Thank you for your warning, but I have not a sheek on me. There is nothing they would want from me" she said. "you should still be careful, you are attractive and some men can be very sly" he said. Then smiled "if you want to get to the garden, follow this street until to you get to the tree."he said then pointed to the tree at the far end of the market "then you turn right and walk for about 20 minutes. You cannot miss it. you should be careful in that area for it is very isolated from the safety of the streets" he said. Serena thanked him than left. As she made her way to the tree, she had spotted a group of men on the far side of the street. They were dressed in suits and mantels but they were too far for her to even look at their faces closely. For a second as one of the man turned, she thought she saw Darien. 'but that couldn't be' she thought. She then walked off to find the garden.
The Garden was beautiful. It was big; filled with so many different plants and flowers that Serena felt that she will never be able to learn all of their names. There were benches scattered here and there. There seemed to be no one in the garden and hadn't been for some time. But the flowers were vibrant as ever and the birds were happily singing their songs. Serena walked over to the flowers one by one inhaling their beauty. "How will I ever learn your names?" she asked the flowers not expecting them to answer in the least. "I can help you if you want?" a deep voice asked from behind her. She turned around to find a man with white hair that was not short but not long either. It fell to his face. 'His hair seemed to have been dyed white.' She thought, not exactly liking is hair. He was tall and very muscular. He was dressed in a white suit with little buttons that were replaced by diamonds. She noticed that his right ear was adorned with a diamond earring. He was handsome but something around him was wrong. He felt like evil and she knew it. But somehow, the temptation of the learning the flower's names were too hard to resist. "I would be grateful" she said. "My name is Serena. What is yours?" she asked a little curiously. "My name is Diamond" he answered. 'I could have figured that out' she thought. He smiled. 'And what a kind smile that was' she thought sarcastically. His smile was cold and venomous as a viper; there was no warmth in his smile. She smiled in return out of respect. 'And goddess knows what kind of respect that was' she thought 'maybe the goddess can tell her when she figures it out.'
Serena tried to keep a distant between them as she wandered from flower to flower inhaling in their scent then asking their names. It was about fifteen minutes of wandering when she had spotted an unusual but beautiful flower. It was red and the petals were velvet. And the scent of the flower was exquisite and in a way exotic as well. She stood up and looked at Diamond. She was immediately captured by his eyes. Cold as they were she could not look away. Her brain was telling her to run but she could not take her gaze away from his so she then spoke hoping that pulling her attention away from his gaze will then help her to be able to blink. And it did. 'it did work' she thought 'thank the goddess selene'.
She immediately returned her attention to the exquisite flowers. "And what is the name of this flower, Diamond?" she asked, but he didn't answer. He suddenly pushed her to the nearby wall and made a grab of her hands. He pinned her hands to the walls then pushed himself on her. "What are you doing!" she shouted. "Let me go!" she kept on shouting at him and trying unsuccessfully to free her hands. He held her wrist and was hurting her. She cried what felt like and eternity for help. She tried to kick him but her legs were pressed against the walls by his. The only thing that she could do was move her head; and with that she was able to avoid his lips on hers. Instead his lips went down to her neck, then collarbone. He then held both of her arms with one hand and using the other, tore at her sleeves revealing one of her arms. Using all the strength that she had, she pulled one of her arms free and gripped onto his shoulder with her nails. Then she quickly positioned one of her knees between his legs. She brought her knees up between his legs as hard as possible. When he had no choice but to let her go, she ran. With the sun at its peak and her eyes blurred with what seem like tears, she ran with no sense of direction. Suddenly she felt herself run into someone else. 'oh goddess' she thought 'don't let this be one of his accomplices' "Get her for me, Sapphire" She heard Diamond shout through clenched teethes from behind.
