ARRGHHH! i cannot believe i have been spelling Aramis wrong that's so annoying and i am very sorry.

Okay this is a small insight to Serena's past~

Serena hid behind a thick bush as she watched her mother. She waited only a few moments before a man on a large grey horse appeared, he dismounted and approached the woman quickly, Serena saw the sword at his hip and abandoned her hiding place.

"Mamma!" She screamed as the man wrapped his arms around her mother. The nine year old child ran towards her mother and the stranger so fast her legs could barely keep up with her.

Serena's mother caught her daughter in her arms as she hurtled towards her. "Serena I told you not to follow me." her mother scowled.

Serena said nothing, she only glared at the stranger in posh clothing before her. He spoke in French, this was Serena's first language next to Spanish. She was born in France but moved away when she was four to Spain. She learned Spanish quickly and somewhat forgot about her first language but as the man spoke she could understand him perfectly.

"Defiant, just like her mother." He said with a smile. "Are you not going to introduce us?" he asked looking at Serena's mother.

Serena looked at the man, did her mother know him? Did her farther know about him?

"Serena, this is Monsieur Treville, my brother and your uncle." Her mother announced. "And this is Serena." She said, placing her daughter on the ground.

Treville smiled at his sister and niece. "My pleasure to finally meet you, Serena." he said taking off his hat and bowing.

The three of them spent a few hours together in that time Treville taught his niece to ride a horse and basic knife skills. Though her mother disapproved, she loved to see her daughter and brother play as they would if things were different. If she had gone through with the arranged marriage with a man she hated and if she hadn't run away with the gypsy man she loved. things would have been so different .Treville gave his niece the knife he had used to teach her, it had a funny looking symbol on it and it was very heavy but she loved it.

Serena grinned as the horse cantered round, listening to her commands. While Treville and her mother spoke, eventually they parted ways and Serena did not see her uncle again.

Her mother never spoke of him and refused to tell her why he had not visited before.

As Serena now stood in her uncle's office, she pulled the knife out of her boot and looked at it. "I should have used this." she whispered to herself as she remembered how her farther fought with only one knife on the night of her parents death. Would two have made the difference?

Porthos looked at the silver blade Serena held in her hands, he saw Treville's family symbol engraved onto it. "I think i need to lay down." he said, this sudden family reunion was hurting his head, he walked towards the door.

"Porthos do not tell the others just yet." As the words left her mouth Serena watched in horror as Athos and Aramis fell into Treville's office.

"We were just..um.." Athos said as he pulled himself off the floor.

"Eavesdropping?" Serena stated accusingly, glaring at the two men.

"We wanted to know why the captain's guest was being to secretive." Athos stated.

"And why a woman was wearing trousers." Aramis added, with a small smile.

Serena shook her head, "They were going to find out anyways."

Athos looked at Serena, his questioning eyes and stern expression was to be feared. "If you are a noble like the Captain, why are parading round like a gypsy?"

Serena narrowed her eyes at him but it was a good question. Why had her mother and farther being living such a life if they had a rich family back home?

Treville interrupted "Serena's mother ran away from home when she was young, our farther was forcing her into a marriage but she loved another." his eyes began to fill with sadness as he continued. "A gypsy man, your farther. They ran away together until they crossed the Spanish border." Treville said. "The man your mother was suppose to marry, tracked your mother for many years, that was why I came to her that year, to warn her he was close." Treville said. "He told me he would find your mother and take her back to France to marry him and kill your farther."

"I never knew these things, they never told me." Serena said.

It was then the pieces of the puzzle came together, everything Serena remembered fell into place. She looked at Treville, "They found us."
