A/N: Okay guys, have fun reading this.

Serena woke up for once peacefully and in a actual bed instead of a floor. She washed and got dressed in her trousers and shirt, Constance had found her a pair of boots that were her husbands but they were too small for him. Serena and Constance had stayed up most of the night, talking about their lives and the musketeers, well mainly D'artagnan and it quickly became clear to her Constance liked him a lot more than just a friend.

Serena walked down the stairs and found Constance in the kitchen cooking with Rosella. It was shocking to Serena to see her younger sister mold into the perfect house wife in a matter of days. She cooked and cleaned with their landlady and even began sewing. It was good to see her happy but also distressing, as they grew up they never considered marriage, the only thing that mattered was surviving.

"Good morning Serena." Rosella called to her

"Good morning." Serena called back as she took a seat opposite D'artagnan at the small table. "Good lord you look awful." Serena said as D'artagnan lifted his head, his eyes were dark and his face pale. Hangover no doubt.

D'artagnan answered with a moan and placed his head back on the table.

"Someone decided he could drink a solider under the table and not only lost a lot of money he also has a very bad hangover." Constance said bringing over bread, cheese and fruits.

Serena smiled as Constance slammed the food onto the table. D'artagnan jumped up out of his seat in shock and looked around wildly, while the two women laughed hysterically at him.

When D'artagnan realized what happened he shook his head and sat down again. "Constance I'm sorry, please don't be angry."

Constance laughed at him again, "I'm not angry with you, i just think your an idiot." she smiled.

D'artagnan looked up at her and smiled and it was then Serena saw that they were both very fond of each other and also how terribly tragic their love was. Constance was married and D'artagnan a near enough Musketeer, even if they did something stupid like runaway D'artagnan would be shipped all over France tempted by other women while Constance was at home thinking of the life she left behind with her current husband Bonacieux.

"Love is such a stupid thing." Serena muttered to herself.

"What was that?" D'artagnan asked, tearing his gaze away from Constance.

Serena looked up suddenly aware she spoke. "Oh nothing." She smiled and departed from the table, as she headed for the door she was stopped by her younger sister.

"Where are you going?" Rosella questioned.

"To the market." Serena answered simply and more confidently then she really felt. She had been in the Inn for two days and really needed to get out, but the threat of red guards still loomed over her but she couldn't bare another minute inside.

"In those!" Rosella pointed an accusing finger at her trousers. "Do you know what kind of trouble a woman in trousers just walking round Paris would cause?!"

"Rosella my skirts are ripped and blood stained if i wore those that would attract even more attention." Serena argued, crossing her arms. "Besides they wont even see me." She pulled the hood of her cloak up over her face.

Rosella looked at her sister with desperation in her eyes.

Serena sighed. "I'll be careful." She hugged her sister and walked out of the door.

The market was as busy as ever, street children picked pockets, merchants cried out prices for their products, bakers baked and red guards patrolled the area. Though today there were a lot more than Serena remembered. She was very nervous of the red guards, after she found out it was them that had attacked her not a group of officers as she originally thought.

Porthos watched the red guards follow the figure from the inn and round the market. At first he assumed it was a criminal that was trying to escape but when he caught a glimpse of the criminal's face he realized that it was in fact and familiar face. He moved quickly, dodging people as he tried to reach Serena before the guards did. Amaris had over heard the Cardinal wanted the girl that attacked his guards brought to justice and unfortunately they knew where she was hiding.

Serena had the feeling she was being followed but when a heavy arm laid across her shoulders she tensed and panicked.

"Don't panic. It's me." Porthos said guiding Serena through the crowd.

Serena looked up and recognized the musketeers as Porthos. "What's going on?" She asked trying to pull out of his grip but he held her fast.

"Two Red guards are following you." Porthos said quietly. "If they get hold of you, they will arrest you."

"Oh." Serena looked up at the musketeer, she could not believe the people she had feared most were now protecting here. She was not used to it, she was always used to protecting herself. "Where are we going?" she whispered.

"To captain Treville." Porthos said.

"Treville?" Serena repeated. Why was that name so familiar? She was sure she had heard it before. "And where is he?" she asked.

"He is captain of the Musketeers." Porthos answered stopping as two red guards walked towards them. He continued walking again and eventually they met the courtyard. Amaris and Athos walked over to greet their friend but were confused at who the hooded man was next to him.

"Who is that?" Athos asked looking down at the stranger.

"A friend." Porthos said quickly. "Where is the captain?"

Amaris pointed up the wooden stairs to Treville's office.

Porthos guided Serena up the stairs and to his captain, he did not knock, he barge in and shut the door quickly.

Treville looked up from his papers."Porthos and company you better have a good reason for nearly breaking down my door." Treville said with obvious annoyance in his tone.

Serena recognized that voice instantly and threw back her hood, she stared at the man before her. He looked older but it was him, she would know his face anywhere and the name? It was her mothers last name.

"Serena?" Treville stated with wide eyes. "Is that.. is that you."

Serena's eyes began to fill with tears "Yes uncle it's me."

Okay was that a shock? I hope it was. Treville's past life isn't really explained so i thought id take advantage and give him two nieces. The family tree will be explained in the next chapter. Please review!
