"I think I love you"
Chapter 6
Serenity resembled a deer caught in headlights when she had seen who it was that had a hold on her.
"Why so surprised Serenity?" the figure asked mockingly.
Serenity glared at her captor. "What are you doing here, Diamond? You are forbidden to even set foot on our grounds." Serenity spat with pure hatred.
Diamond smirked. "I'm hurt my Bunny, I really am." His voice was laced with sarcasm. "If you must know why it is that I am here, well it is simply to collect my fiancée." He spoke loosening is grasp on her throat.
Serenity quickly weaseled her way away from him to the opposite side of the room. "I do not understand, for you have no communications here with the Moon Kingdom. How is it your fiancé is here?"
Diamonds eyes darkened. "I have no communication with the Moon Kingdom Princess, due to your worthless mother!"
Serenity was a bit taken aback at his accusation but quickly recovered while staring him down. "No. You have no communications here because of what you did, Diamond. My mother is not the cause."
That last comment set the young Prince off. In a flash he was at her side once more ready to snap her neck if need be.
Serenity gasped at how close he was to her. "I do not care what you think Princess; all I want is my fiancée." He whispered into her ear as his lips slightly brushed against her ear lobe causing her to stiffen but he had yet to take notice.
"For the last time Diamond, I do not know of your fiancée; or her whereabouts. Now leave before I call the guards,"
Diamond smirked. He wasn't the least bit affected by her threat. "My dear Serenity, you know exactly where she is."
'What? What is he talking about? I didn't even know he HAD a fiancée much less know of her place on the moon.' Serenity was completely in a state of confusion. Was it possible that his fiancée was on the moon? And that she knew where she was? He had been forbidden to set foot on the Moon two years ago. How was it that his fiancée was here? Much less that Serenity knew her? 'Impossible.'
"My dear Bunny, you look confused." Diamonds taunting voice cut her thoughts short. "Shall I spell it out for you? Well, when I said I came to collect my fiancée dear Serenity, I had not said whom it was or where she was because I had already known."
Serenity was still confused. 'If I know exactly where she is. And he does too… well there's no way he'd know where she was because he hasn't set foot anywhere else in the palace…' Serenitypaused, 'Wait…if I know where she is and he does too without going any place else that means… oh my god!'
Serenity gasped and moved away from him. Diamond just grinned. His fiancée, or rather future fiancée; was Serenity. That's how he knew where his fiancée was without going anywhere else!
"No. Get out. Leave. Get out now!" she screamed.
"Well my Princess, it certainly took you long enough. But no, I will not leave without my fiancée, or rather my future fiancée."
"You, Prince Diamond, do not HAVE a future fiancée here. You never will either!" the blonde haired young women shouted.
"Now, now, sweetheart lets not get loud now. You wouldn't want to suffer the consequences."
Serenity glared at him. "What do you want from me?"
"Simple. I want your hand in marriage."
"Never. I am already to be wed." Serenity lied.
Diamond let out a light laugh. "And to whom is it that has won your heart?" he asked circling her, "Also, where is your ring? You cannot fool me Serenity. Even if you were to be wed it would make no difference. You will accept. If you choose not to, well you won't suffer. But your people will. It's your choice."
Serenity's eyes shot with tears. She knew what he was capable of for he had been forbidden to set foot on the Moon. She hated him with a passion and marriage was completely out of the question. But what about her people? If she denies his request… they will end up dying. This man in front of her was capable of anything and she knew it. Once she denies his request all hell will break loose on the Moon. Should she sacrifice her people for her own happiness? Where would her happiness go when she provoked war on her own people?
Diamond was currently leaning against the wall watching her. Serenity looked as if her world had just come crashing down.
"Why?..." she spoke softly, "Why do you want me to marry you?" she glanced over to where he was; eyes expressionless.
"Why?" he repeated aloud, "My dear Serenity, why would I not want you to marry me? I need a Queen to help rule and you are a very strong young Princess. You're beautiful, charming, sweet, and courageous all in one and in my opinion perfect. I do not need a reason to take your hand in marriage for you have no choice in the matter."
"So if I deny, you will kill them?" she asked taking a step closer to him.
Diamond thought about it. "Yes." He answered coolly.
Diamond watched as tears slid down her face but she quickly snapped her head in the other direction not wanting to see his face.
'That's just pitiful. All she has to do is marry me and everyone will be happy.' He mused, 'No matter, she can shed as many tears as she wants. She will marry me.'
After a few moments of silence Serenity spoke, "Why?" she asked as she returned her gaze on him, "Why must you be so cruel?! I do not love you! I never will! I DON'T WANT TO MARRY YOU!" she screamed the last part.
Diamond pushed himself off the wall and walked over to her. He caressed her cheek softly and whipped away a few tears. Feeling her flinch he removed his hand. "You know Serenity; it is not as difficult as you think it is." He paused watching more tears fall, "I do not wish to fight you. Either you take my hand in marriage or they will suffer the consequences. It's that simple."
Serenity looked up at him. "I cannot abandon them." She said softly.
Diamond frowned. "Then you wish to put them in harms way?"
Serenity shook her head. She didn't know what to do. She didn't want to hurt her people, but she didn't want to marry him. If she stays it will create war. If she goes she'll lose all hope of a happy life.
The young Princess couldn't take it any longer; she fell to her knees sobbing right in front of Diamond. There was no way out. She stays, her people die. She goes, she will most likely die.
"You are not as strong as I thought," he said turning back to his normal hatred filled self, "stop this crying Princess. There is no need to fear the life you shall soon choose."
Serenity didn't stop her tears nor did she even reply which pissed Diamond off.
"Fine then," he scowled, "you have two days Serenity. You choose what you are going to do. Until then I suggest you toughen up. You'll either need to for war or to bare life with unwanted people." With that being said he walked towards her balcony.
"By the way," he said stopping briefly. "Don't try to get help or plan an attack for when I return. I have eyes in this palace. Say a word to anyone and you'll die along with your people."
Serenity's tear-stained face snapped up, "Get out." She demanded, "Leave NOW!"
"As you wish," he said glaring at her then disappeared into thin air with just a simple wave of his hand.
"Oh god, what am I going to do?" she said as she continued to sit on the ground crying her heart out.
Serenity's life was near perfect before she entered her room. Everything was going great; she met Darien, had fun with her friends, and even got out of her lesson early. Then like a flash of light it all went down hill.
How was she to marry someone she loathed so much? To abandon her people? To leave behind her guardians and friends? If she loses the people she cares about most, it will break her. She wouldn't be able to bare life without them. Without her mother who she loved so dearly. Without Rei, the girl she grew to love years ago. Without Mina, the girl whom everyone assumes is her sister. Without Lita, the best cook she has ever met. Without Amy, one of her smartest but most thoughtful friends.
She wouldn't be able to bare life without them. But she still had no idea what she was going to do. She only had two choices, and they were both tough to choose from. What was she going to do?
