This is Chapter 3 of the before life of Sailor Moon as the Moon Princess.
Hope you enjoy. Disclaimer-I DO NOT OWN SAILOR MOON
I have just been so troubled lately. I haven't been getting sleep. I haven't been eating. Just everything mother is saying, it just confuses me!
There's a knock at my door, and I turn around. Slowly, I walk up, and dread opening the door, knowing it's my mother by the knock. I open the door, and plaster a giant smile on my face.
"Hi mom!" I say brightly.
"Honey? Are-are you okay? I've been noticing you seem tired and you haven't been eating. What is wrong?" my mother says with a worried expression glued to her face.
"Nothing, nothing at all," I lie, now faking a confused look.
"Oh, okay, if that's all," my mother says, turning, still not convinced.
I close the door, willing the castle to fall off so I have solitude. I open it a hair, and find out it didn't work. Of course, I'm the frikin Moon Princess. Ugh. I HATE IT!
I go over to my vanity, and grab my clips for my hair. I do it up in my odango style, after my mother. I put in the wing-like clips on either side of my face. I gently grab my crown and set it upon my head. I take a moment to gather myself, then walk out of my room.
I walk down the hall, smiling and waving at the people that care for me and my mother. There is no Moon King, I really do not know why. I dread the day I have to take on the name Queen Serenity. It shall kill me.
"Ouch! Serena watch where you're stepping! That was my tail!" screams a scratchy voice under me.
I step back, and see Artemis licking his tail.
"Oh my gosh! I'm sooo sorry Artemis! I didn't mean to!" I say, bending over to pick him up.
"Oh, that's okay. Just watch next time!" Artemis says with a chuckle.
I smile, and continue down the hall. I go to the throne chamber, to find it empty. I cross the room, Artemis curled up in my arms. I figure this is a good place for solitude. I sit in my uncomfortable throne. I wish this had padding, it's so hard, I think to myself.
I call a servent. I do this by pulling a long rope behind my chair.
"Yes, my lady?" the man says, bowing before me.
"My chair stinks. If you could please fix it so it is more comfortable? I am going to be spending a lot of time here," I say, standing up and giving the room a quick glance.
"Yes, ma'am. Anything else?" he says, standing up.
"Nope," I say, smiling, letting him start a call for help.
I walk out of the room, and decide to go exploring. Even thought I'm Princess, I still don't know all of my castle. At a turn section, where I usually go straight to reach my room, I decide to turn down a dark hallway, a left. The right leads to the front door of my castle. It's a dark dreary area. As I walk, I start to get the chills. I find myself hugging Artemis to death.
"Sorry," I say.
"That's fine. I've never been in this area myself," Artemis says.
As I walk, I notice there are no open windows allowing light in. I walk up to one, and when I open it, I'm showered in a cloud of dust. I cough, and swat it away. Out the window, I can see into my town. I turn, and see a room.
"I wonder what's through that door," Artemis whispers.
"Ya. Let's go find out!" I say, gently dropping Artemis.
As I approach the door, it gets darker. I open the crickety old door, and slip inside, Artemis at my heels. My jaw drops. I see everything. The windows are wide open, the room is very bright. A giant bed, like 3 of my mother's. A fire flickering at the hearth. Someone sits with a cup of tea in a rocking chair in front of it. She turns, and I see my mother's shocked face. I turn around and run out.
Later on, as I lay on my bed, I go back to the moment in the secret room. I notice my mother had some papers. I don't care. I hate her, I think. I drift off to sleep, uncaring.
This is the end of Chapter 3 for now, I'm unsure where to go next. If you have any ideas, leave a reply with it! Thanks!
