A few hours later Diamond awoke and felt fully rested. He looked down at the blonde girl that was still in his arms. She was still sleeping soundly. Diamond gently moved her hair behind her ear. He gently moved Serena off his body and laid her head on the soft pillows. Then he got up and found his clothes and put them on, leaving his shirt unbuttoned. He sat on the edge of the bed and watched the moon princess stir and slowly awaken.

Serena slowly opened her eyes and immediately saw Prince Diamond sitting on the bed. She lay on her stomach with the blanket wrapped around her naked body. She felt as if she had awoken from a dream. She couldn't believe she was thinking this but she really was quite comfortable in this place at the moment. She was glad that Diamond was still in the throne room with her and was treating her well. Although he had slapped her and she knew her cheek was slightly swollen and barely bruised. And he had kidnapped her and wasn't planning on releasing her anytime soon. But for some reason that didn't bother her as much as it should.

Then suddenly there was a knock on the large wooden doors of the throne room. Diamond turned towards the doors.

"What do you want? I'm busy!" he yelled in annoyance.

"It's me, Emerald. I thought that you and…..Queen Serenity would want something to drink, so I brought some wine for you."

Diamond sighed in frustration. "Fine, come in."

Emerald appeared floating a few feet away from the bed. She held two glasses of red wine in her hands. Serena had sat up now and clutched a thin sheet close to her body. Emerald looked over at her and gave her a look of disgust. She looked back at Diamond who was standing now.

"This one's for you. And this one's for her." The green haired woman said.

Diamond grabbed the glass that was for Serena. He noticed though that it didn't smell quite right. He handed it to her but thought the smell was familiar. He then remembered what it smelled like. He quickly knocked the glass out of Serena's hand just before she could take a drink from it. It shattered to tiny pieces on the floor. It took a few minutes for Serena to process what had just happened.

"Why did you do that for?!" Emerald asked with shock.

"You poisoned it!" Diamond yelled at her.

"What! Why would I do such a thing?" Emerald acted innocent but Diamond knew better.

"You conniving little snake!"

Diamond slapped Emerald across the face which made her fall to the floor. He picked her up by the neck and cut off her air supply. He went to slap her again but heard a voice behind him.

"Stop! Diamond, please don't. please." Serena said as she wrapped the sheet around her and walked over to the prince.

She put her hand on his raised arm. She gently pushed it down. Emerald looked at the blonde girl with desperate look. She saw that the moon princess had tears in her eyes.

"Diamond…..stop." Serena pleaded again.

Diamond released his grip on Emerald's neck and watched as she fell to the floor gasping for air. Then she saw something she wasn't expecting. A slender hand was extended towards her. She looked up and saw that Serena had her hand held out to her.

"It's just a hand." The moon princess softly said.

Emerald knew she was right and accepted the hand that was held out to her. Serena helped the green haired woman up and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. She faced Diamond and glared at him.

The prince just looked the other way with embarrassment. This whore just tried to poison his love and she was helping her. He didn't understand.

"Are you ok?" Serena asked Emerald.

"Yes, I think so." She answered with a nod. "I should go."

And before Serena could stop her, Emerald disappeared. Then she walked up to Diamond and looked him straight in the face. To his surprise she slapped him hard across the face.

"How could you do such a thing?" she said with venom in her voice.

"She tried to kill you!"

"That doesn't mean you almost kill her too! I believe in second chances, not death."

With that Serena walked away and went back over to the bed. She grabbed her dress and her panties and got dressed. Then she grabbed one of her ribbons and put her long hair up in a bun.

"If you are to keep me here then I want to be taken out of the throne room every once in a while. I want good food and privileges to a bathroom." The blonde girl said as she faced the dark moon prince.

"Fine, but you will only be taken out of this room when I say so."

"I want to be able to see my friends and family. I know you can see the people on Earth through some kind of mirror."

"You will be able to see them whenever you want."

"There's one more thing I want."

"What's that?"

"I want my compact in my care at all times."

Diamond wasn't expecting her to say that. She must have known that at some point he would've taken her compact.

"I know you know that it's the Silver Crystal. I won't take any chances of letting it fall into the wrong hands." Serena quietly said.

Diamond had to admit, for a girl who looks like a ditzy blonde, she sure was smart.

"Where is it, Diamond?" Serena said with worry.

Diamond held out his hand and a dim light shone on his palm. Then the gold compact appeared in his hand. Serena took it and pinned it to her dress.

"Thank you, Diamond." She smiled a small smile at him.

"You're welcome, my dear." Diamond smiled back at the blonde girl.
