Chapter 7: memories unto romance
"Hey!" I giggled as I ran towards the young boy my fate bonded me with.
"Serenity!" he smiled widely as I came crushing into him, hugging him with everything I had. "What are you doing here?"
"I snuck out of course, to see you," I smiled, laughing that he had to ask me that question. "I have always wanted to see the roses at night… and being here with you is even better!"
"Serenity," his voice was low, anguish was there, and so was sadness "you know this is wrong."
"I know Endymion," I whispered, "but I can't help it. I want to be with you, regardless of what papa and the elders have told me. I have a greater connection to you then that Diamond."
"But he is a better suitor. For numerous reasons."
"Yes… but his family is selfish and unfortunately I do not get along with him… we are fated yet we are completely different… but yet, we are fated and we are the same."
"We are not the same!"
"I don't care what they say! Even if it means running away to be with you, I will do it," I looked to the ground. "I don't want to spend the rest of my life with Diamond. He is a restless character, and yet, you are always calm, and it's relaxing."
"Serenity…"
"I know… we are only young… but shouldn't it be my choice to whom I have to join an eternal bond with?"
"Yes, you should have that right, but inside Estelle, you will have to do what you are told."
"Then let's run away! Outside of Estelle!"
"You have the wildest ideas sometimes Serenity."
"NO! I'll call myself Serena, and I'll cut my hair, and we can run away!" I looked at Endymion, "you can be my Darien!"
"People will still notice you, us."
"Oh… I know… it's this… everything!" I clenched my hands.
"Don't worry too much," Endymion said hugging me, "When you're older you will understand."
"But I don't want to live this way," I said peering in his eyes, "I want to live with you."
"Not in this world you can't," Endymion said slowly, sadness washing over him, "I think you better go before people start to wonder where you went off to and make sure you can't get out again."

"But dad! Why?" I was in my father's study asking him why he wouldn't let me spend time with Endymion.
"Because he is a Vampire, you are a girl! You two do not match genetics. If you two were to re-create, the result would be uninformative. Monsters are not meant to inter bread to create more monsters. Now stop asking me Serenity! You and Diamond will be bonded together very shortly now."
"What do you mean?"
"The elder mages are creating the rose talisman to bind you two together as we speak."
"But why so soon? Mamma said that I wouldn't be bound to anyone till I was sixteen."
"Well, we haven't had anything like your case for awhile with two connections, so the sooner the better."
Angry and saddened by his words, I ran out of his study. I didn't know where I was running, but I was following my heart, and before long I had collapsed in the rose garden crying my eyes out.
"Serenity!" I felt warm arms go around me, holding me close, "what happened!"
"Oh, Endymion!" I cried into his arms, "It's horrible! Papa has decided to join me to Diamond before I'm sixteen! He's making my necklace as we speak!" I cried even harder.
I felt his arms around me tighten, "it's alright. I'm sure we will figure everything out."
"Oh, why can't we just run away now? Right this instant!"
"Serenity," Endymion put his hands on my face, "we can't just leave. You know the consequences."
"But, but…" I couldn't help but cry my heart out. I wanted a future I wasn't allowed to have. Surely there was something I could do… I was born with a mind of my own that questioned a lot of things, and yet, due to my status, I was expected to live a life not of my choosing.

Sneaking into the royal treasury was easy enough since I was so small, but I was still worried about what I was doing. Hoping for the best I opened the royal vault and walked into the room, walking into the far left room I saw what I was after; my binding Rose necklace. Taking out the similar necklace I found in my mother's large jewellery room, I switched them around and placed the necklace with the mages incarnation into my pocket. Sighing in hope I ran out as fast as I could.
I kept running and running till I found the person my heart was chasing. He had his back to me, but I stopped and watched him lean over and smell the flowers. My family kept telling me that Vampires were vicious beasts… but watching Endymion, he seemed so calm and relaxed; graceful and amusing. He was not of the tormented spirit people had imagined vampires to be, but gentle and kind.
"Are you alright?" I heard Endymion speak softly, "you seem happy? Did something happen?"
I giggled, "You must tell me how you do that!"
"It's my nature," he turned to me, "something your father tried to point out about me."
"Because you are different?" I laughed, "But wouldn't our joining be a good way to understand it?"
"What do you mean?"
"You are not like the vampires my parents and family describe."
"Ah! The rabid vicious beasts," he smiled more to himself, "I hope they tell you we are all like that."
"What! No. If we were joined, people would understand and would not judge so critically!"
"Serenity," he sighed, "although I may be 4 years older then you, I do not claim to know all, but I do know that you know too much for your age. Stop worrying so much and enjoy your youth."
"I will after I give you something. Then I will be able to rest at night," I smiled. Endymion was looking at me with interest on his face. "You have got to promise not to tell anyone, and promise me you will do your part," I said putting my hand in my pocket, but never taking it out.
"What kind of promise?"
"Just promise me you will keep it!"
"Fine… I promise."
"This," I said pulling out my necklace, "after the cruise for my fifth birthday my dad wants me to be joined to Diamond… but you have got to promise me that when we are older, you will save me from that phony merger and run away together!"
"Serenity," I saw him gulp, "I…"
"You don't have to say anything, just promise me you will save me!" I said putting the necklace in his hands and closing them over. "Promise!"
"Why are you so adamant on me?" he said slowly looking me in the eyes.
"Because I trust you, and I feel warm and safe with you," I smiled, "when I'm around Diamond I feel dread. Although we are connected… I do not think both connections mean the same."
We were both smiling at each other. "Then we shall run away one day together, Serena," he smiled he put the necklace in his pocket and hugged me.
"I can't wait till then my Darien." I wanted to cry from all this joy, but I contained it, trying to act strong.

"Are you ready to board the ship soon?" my mother asked at my bedroom door.
"Yep!" I said pulling the small bag of mine over my shoulder, "I'm ready!"
I followed my mother to the group of family members that was outside the house. Further down at our personal docks, guests that were accompanying us on our cruise for my birthday were waiting.
"Hey Serenity," said a small voice.
Turing I saw Diamond. He was very small for a boy; but held the Estelle features of pale skin and silver hair. "Hey Diamond," I said quickly as I started to walk towards the docks.
"Oh, happy birthday too," he giggled, "before I forget."
"Thanks," I smiled back to him, walking on.
"So… umm… about tomorrow… are you… what do you think will happen?"
"I don't know. I've never experienced a bonding before… but mama says it's a warm feeling."
"Are you nervous, because I am."
I paused and looked at him, "what do you feel right now for me? Through this connection?"
"Hmm… I'm not too sure. I feel many feelings drifting through the connections… my sisters tell me that love is a warm feeling… but… I don't know." He shook his head.
"You're not getting the warm feeling too?"
Saying that made him look at me directly, "what do you mean? You feel it too? A void of sorts?"
"Yeah," I nodded, "when I'm with Endymion I feel warm and safe… very different feeling then when I'm with you."
"You know… if you keep seeing him and talking about him, your family will probably condemn him. They are already talking about shifting him out of the city far away from you. One of the reasons they are making us join so young."
"Oh, that's horrible!"
"That's Estelle," he whispered as he started to walk forwards. "Serenity?" he whispered towards me, "I know you do not like me so much, but even if we both protest, they will force this upon us. So I think it would be wise to just go along with their plan instead of hurting yourself any more then you have to." With that he ran off towards his cousins as we seen my three young guards head towards us.
I stopped dead in my tracks. I know somewhere in what he said was genuine… but that was also a threat.
"Hello Serenity," they all said and bowed as they reached me.
"Hey Amara, Michelle and Lita," I smiled
"Are you ready to get aboard? There are so many people who want to meet you," Lita said giggling tugging me to follow her.
My thoughts kept going back to what diamond had said though. Did he know about me meeting with Endymion nearly every night in the roses? Surely not. But I couldn't help but think about what he said for the best part of the day.
Upon many requests my father had lead the cruise ship out of Estelle into the next world and we sailed in some of the close by seas. I didn't know what had come over me, but my feeling of dream had consumed me and was affecting the weather. Before long I had the seas raging and people panicking. I was strangely calm and had the urge to just jump. But before I knew it people were all rushing towards safety boats to exit the main ship. I was pushed and shoved, hearing me name getting screamed, I tried to run, but a black thing was over my head and pushed me onto a boat. "Your safe," was continuously whispered to me. A piece of paper was then placed in my hands and the captor was gone. I took the black bag off my head and saw I was alone on the boat. Drifting aimlessly away from the cruise boat and every other person, slowly going out of sight. Could no one not see me? Of course not. Bigger things were on their minds.
I looked down into my hands and unfolded the paper. 'By now I hope you realise the gift I have given you. Do not think me bad, or this random act of hatred against you, but a gift, a gift to help you get what you want. I wish you the best of luck Serenity, and maybe one day we can meet again. Now go and be free!'
Who was this from? There were so many people aboard the ship… who really knew what I wanted? Who would do such a thing? My mind was going in shock and before long everything went black.
When I woke up, I was somewhere I had never seen before. I was… on sand? What happened? I tried to think what happened before this… but nothing. My memory was frozen and blocked. Who was I? What was my name… my name…? Serena? The only name my memory could bring up. Where was I and how did I come here?
v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v^_^v
"Oh my goodness!" I breathed as I jumped up from my sleep. Breathing hard I put a hand on my forehead and swept the sweat away. "What was that?" I asked myself. "Was that… my past?" I shook my head. I was talking to myself. And where was I? I was on a bed of sorts in a white room. My eyes tried to adjust, but all I saw was white! Gasping I remembered what had happened. I was napped by Lita!
I rampaged out of the sheets and stood. I was still in my attire that I was wearing when I was with Endymion, so the time that passed must not have been that long. I tried to open the door but it was locked. There were no other doors or windows in the room, so I did what any sane person would do in crises like this, "LET ME OUT!" I yelled banging the door with my fists! "RIGHT THIS INSTANT!"
I waited a couple of minutes before I begun again, but to no avail I was ignored. I groined and laid myself down on the bed. If I understood this at all, I would think this absurd. Was I not this royal princess goddess whatever, who this Lita was guarding? So why was she not here next to me? Why was no one even listening to me! "Ugh!" I thrashed my hands against the bed and tried to calm myself down.
I mean… was that a dream maybe? Or was it me remembering my past? It felt familiar, yet the mind does play tricks… so what was real? What was I meant to believe? Maybe I was drugged or something and that was just a mind trick, tricking me into believing something that felt real… but wasn't… okay. I really needed to stop thinking. This was driving me crazy! I wanted the truth really bad! But yet… everything was still uncertain to me.
I, my better self, decided to rest for a bit, just closing my eyes and letting my mind wonder free. But as I slowly let myself relax, I heard some ruckus happening outside the doorway. It wasn't close, like right there behind the door, but it was close enough to hear that whoever it was, was not backing down to get whatever it was they wanted.
I continued to listen and realised that whatever, whoever were out there, were heading straight to me. The sounds kept coming closer and closer. Till there was a knock of sorts at my door and a dropping sound, then complete silence. I felt a familiar presence close by, but couldn't place it. It felt very powerful and angry, but calm. I quickly, but quietly leaped off the bed and tried to hide near the corner that was off to the side form the door view.
The door opened slowly and I forgot which way the door swung, I couldn't see anyone but the back of the door. As soon as the door opened there was a forceful wind that gushed and the feeling I felt was boosted. A very powerful presence… yet… there was something about it. And that's when I saw a figured shadow opposite the door, and within moments, the figure showed behind the door and I was knocked out of breath. My eyes, I swear were open as far as they could, staring, my mouth agape, just standing there frozen.
When I gasped the figure snapped his head straight towards me, "Serenity!" he breathed in a tone that held relief.
"Endy… Endymion?" I looked at him with my eyes squinted just a little. He looked exactly like Endymion, yet his face was more defined and sharp, eyes as black as a deep raging sea.
His mouth closed slowly as he looked at his hands, "I'm sorry you had to see me like this Serenity," he said lowering his head. "Ordinarily I would not present myself like this to anyone, but," he looked at me, "I need to get you off this ship before Lita ruins everything and takes you back to Estelle," his voice was husky and emotional.
I slowly let my defence down and took a step towards him; "we must go now my lord!" came a voice down the hallway. "I cannot hold the barrier any longer!"
"Come Serenity," he held out his hand, "I do not mean you harm, I shall explain everything after you are safe."
I gulped, and for some reason I knew I could believe him, so I took his hand and within seconds we were running from the room down the corridor. Further down I could see the tiny little blue haired woman, Ami her name was. She looked as if she were concentrating on something very hard.
"Come Ami," Endymion said as we run past her.
I looked behind and saw her muttering something before following us. I didn't know where I was, but wherever I was kept must have been huge because we kept turning after turning through the corridors.
"Ami?" Endymion said stopping, "which way?" his voice was a whisper and held doubt.
Ami put her hands palm out in front of her and closed her eyes. I noticed after a moment Ami's head begun to twitch to the side, it also looked like she was seeing something scary because her eyelids looked like her eyes were moving side to side. I begun to take a step forward in fright thinking something might be wrong, but Endymion put a hand out to stop me, "don't worry, she can handle herself." His voice was firm and low. I looked at him and noticed his face was hard and set on Ami.
"This barrier," Ami whispered, "I need a distraction to get a thorough look around," her voice sounded strained.
I looked away from Ami to Endymion; his face was in thought and pain. "What kind of distraction is she looking for?" I whispered to Endymion.
"Something to break this barrier. Her mind cannot get around it to read the sounds waves."
I looked at him with a questioning face, what was Ami exactly? But before I could question him my mind had already made itself mind up. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, trying to channel my rage from this whole situation in a neat outburst of flowing waves. Letting my breath out I open my eyes and was hit by a blinding sudden whiteness, but as I concentrated more on what I wanted to do, the white blur eased and everything became dulled with white tones. One thing for sure was that I didn't know what it was I was doing, but I earned a gasped from Ami who must have also seen my waves of flooding white rage because I could see her waving her arms by her side to the same ripples my waves made. Closing my eyes again I took a breath in and tried to calm myself. Letting the breath out I opened my eyes to a move vivid coloured room.
"Spectacular!" Ami breathed, "just two more corridors and we head towards the room and keep running up the stairs, we should be on deck in no time," she then whispered in a fast singsong pace to Endymion.
Upon her words I looked at Endymion who was looking at me with intensity, "Endymion, let us go to safety now while the coast is clear," I said starting to walk past him using Ami's directions.
Never speaking, Endymion turned in his spot and started to run with us. Eventually he took lead of our party, probably so he could protect us if we happened to come across anything or one. But we followed Ami's directions and were on deck of a quiet large, amazingly beautiful ship. On deck I resembled all of the men being on Endymion's ship and felt somewhat safer.
"Endymion!" came a blonde haired man running through the crowd of men. He was the one from the docks I had seen with Endymion the night before at madam Ral's.
"Andrew," Endymion nodded his head, urgency in his voice, "take Serenity and Ami to the ship and get the men ready to set sail," he looked at Ami then back to Andrew, "this ship is about to go through any minute."
I looked at them, go through where? But before I could say anything Ami had grabbed my hand and had me running behind her and Andrew to the end of the ship into a smaller rowboat. I looked further out and saw Endymion's ship in the wake of the sunrise. "What about Endymion?" I looked at them, "it's nearly dawn, why is he not coming?" For some reason I heard a frantic tone in my voice. I now understood what Endymion meant to me… but that was before I lost my memory. I had a yearning desire for Endymion to complete me, to fill this void inside me I had always had, but at the same time I had to fight the reality and morality in my mind. I hardly knew him, and plus he never really came looking for me? Now the fact that he let Lita take me away! I did not understand why he bowed to her. Swallowing my fear I looked at Ami and Andrew. Obviously my moment of thought must have scared them because their faces showed worry.
"Don't worry about Endymion, please, he knows what he is doing," Ami said rushed as they started to row towards the ship.
"Then what about the sun?" I looked back towards the light rays that where threatening to flood any moment.
There was a light chuckle form Andrew, "As a pureblood he does not really have to worry about the sun as much as us," he smiled in reassurance. "So do not worry."
I tried to let his words bring some sort of comfort to me, but I still worried. He had saved me had he not? And without asking if I was right, he leaved in someone else's care… which was surprising because when I first came aboard he locked me in his cabin. But maybe that was because I didn't know the truth? But what had he said too… I was arousing the men here… so what was the change of mind? But before I could make any sense we had reached the ship and Ami was helping me out of the boat onto the latter.
"Be cautious of the men on board. At the top Mina will greet you and take you to captain's cabin for safety," Ami whispered in my ear. "Go with haste."
Upon her words I climbed the latter and alas the beautiful blonde Mina was at the top waiting for me. But just as my feet hit the deck, she grabbed my arm and pulled me behind her, "we must hurry," she said urgently. "Terrible idea!" she muttered as we came down the stairs and marched through the hallways.
Coming to a halt she opened the door with a key and motioned for me to go inside. Upon entering everything became familiar again; Endymion's scent was smothered in here. I looked back at Mina, who was looked straight at me like she wanted to say something but kept biting her lips, "thank you," I said slowly lowering my head.
"Don't be," Mina quietly murmured, "It is I who should say sorry first of all though," she looked down the hallway, "if you need anything we are just in the next room, so don't hesitate to call," she quietly added as she closed the door and locked it. I thought we would have been over the whole locking me in thing, but obviously not.
Standing in the middle of the room, looking around at everything like it had been a thousand years since I was last in here, I sighed. There were so many questions in my mind and I didn't know where to begin. Grabbing a few things from the chest that held clothes for me, I wondered to the bathroom. Dropping my things on the counter bench I strode to the window and drew the curtains open. Smothering a gasp in both awe and worry, I stared at the rising sun with one person on my mind.
Finally drawing myself from the window I run myself a hot bath and bathed for countless hours. I let my mind run over everything that had happened, but mostly I tried to bring back the faint memories I gained while aboard Lita's ship. Were they my memories? Or just a projection fed to me to believe? But if they were mine, then what bought them? Did I want them to come back to me? I thought back to when I first met Lita and she told me who I was, I felt a weird power surg inside myself and felt somewhat dizzy as she continued to speak about me… maybe that was what triggered my memory? Or perhaps it was another reason? Unknown to me… I leaped out of the now cold bath and clothed myself in the satin white nightgown I had grabbed from the chest. Looking at my reflection in the mirror I came to a stumbling stop. I didn't notice it before, but I looked somewhat if possible paler; my rosy cheeks were nowhere to be seen and my lips had gone to a pale natural tone. I took the towel off my head and let my hair fall. Watching it I realised it too had lost its natural silver shine and just looked dead grey. I swallow and took a breath in closing my eyes. What was wrong with me? Shaking, I fell to the floor and without realising it, tears were unleashed and begun a pool by my feet. What had bought this sudden change on? Was I like this while on Lita's ship? Surely not because no one looked at me like something was wrong while getting aboard Endymion's ship. Maybe it was my emotional state?
There come a light knock on the door and pushed my thoughts aside jumping up and using the back of my hand to wipe the tears away as I strode to the door. I couldn't believe I must have fallen asleep in the bath; the room was dark with the moons rays shining through the window. Taking a large breath I pulled the door open slowly and let it fully open by itself as I stood there silently frozen. I was caught staring into the only eyes that could hold me into place as if time itself had stood still. "Endymion," I breathed as I felt more tears threatening to spill.
Silently, sadness fell upon Endymion's face and as he slowly raised a hand to my face, caressing the side ever so softly. I couldn't help but notices how untamed his hair was, as well as the fact his skin had a redness to it and a very warm sensation compared to his usual cold skin. Lifting my hand to grasp his on my face, I asked in a soft whisper, "What is wrong with us?"
Shaking his head slowly he begun slowly, "do not worry for me, it is merely a reaction from the sun for me, but," his head lowed, "for you being close to the Estelle border is dangerous if you are not entering because the rules most certainly apply for you there. And I fear it may already be too late."
"What do you mean?" my voice was strained with a stifling fear, "what rules? What is happening to me? What is too late?" I sounded demanding, but I think I had every right to sound like that.
"You were lost to Estelle," he begun looking deeply into my eyes, understanding his second meaning referring to himself, "so when someone like you is close, the barrier that keeps Estelle hidden will forcefully suck you back in, but…" he paused looking down again, "I think we grabbed you from Lita too late. I think you were already being sucked in."
"So… does that mean…"
"Yes," he said looking down at the ground, taking his hand away from my face as if in shame of what he had done.
"But," I said taking a step forwards, "this was going to happen eventually, so what is the matter?"
"Serenity," Endymion finally looked at me with seldom fearful eyes, "the deterioration is sudden and swift, if we do not cross into Estelle with haste, and you may be lost in a void. But with this haste was must also add more caution due to Lita re-entering as well. And as soon as they realise you're gone…"
"Wait?" I quickly interjected, "Lita did not know your whole crew was on her ship? How?" I looked at him with disbelief.
Endymion nodded confirmation, "Ami is a water nymph. Using her sound waves in patters she can do anything, but with the help of Rei, a Mars goddess gifted in the talent of fire and fortune telling, they broke the ships exterior barrier and put them all in a slumber. We then strode upon the ship In Mina's command, one of my generals, an heir to the lord of Venus; she is named the soldier of Venus carrying his talents of love and war. But when we came upon your room there were more barriers to be broken, which took a lot of strength from all four of us to break through," he slumped his head again, "to which I'm sorry you had to see me in such a state. But with Ami's constant waves she was able to keep the ship calm as well as my own and Mina was able to completely vanish the presence of people aboard the ship so not to alert anyone."
"Everyone's so talented…" I moved closer to Endymion, gently lifting his head up with my hand, "but they are not the same as everyone else on board this ship? And yet, they are sworn to a partner of different origins? I do not understand. If they too were from Estelle… then how does this arrangement work for them to be with the one they want, when laws are written so this type of interaction is not allowed?" my voice was low and curious.
Being rather close to Endymion seemed like I was adding extra stress and pain to him for some reason so I took my hand away only to have it stolen back to him in a grasp pulling me to him; tightly embracing me in a hug. There was a low sigh from Endymion before he spoke, "Due to technicalities it is not entirely frowned upon, but because they were not given the best of celebration for their union they left Estelle." His voice sounded like there was something hidden within it, like a secret or something worst.
Slightly tugging away from his tight embrace I looked at him with curiosity, "what technicalities?"
I watched as thoughts stirred in Endymion's mind, protesting he let go of me and growled, "It is of no concern to you. So please do not push on this matter," he said angrily low stalking off towards the desk to the side of the room, taking a seat.
"I will not drop this matter!" I said sternly as I approached him, "not now that I know for certain there is a way for people to be together!" I slammed my hand on the desk, drawing Endymion's attention to look at me, "When I made you promise to me that night, did you mean it?"
My question earned me a questioning surprised looked from Endymion, "Serenity," he whispered in a sad voice, "There were countless promises you made me keep, and none of which was there one I would not keep."
"But alas, you did mean all them, am I right? So tell me the truth about your members here!"
"Serenity," he looked at me again, "I cannot give you ideas, for what happened to them was all under different circumstances."
"So I would be right to assume they were once not vampires?" there was a silence in which I felt a terrible bad aura come from Endymion, "technicalities applied to the fact they were turned? Am I not right? So under what circumstances was this allowed?"
"Serenity, please!" Endymion growled in a raised voice as he rose from his chair and pushed me against the wall. "It will do you no good in this situation! So just drop it." The moments silence was broken by a knock at the door, "what it is!" Endymion bellowed. Seeing his aura kind of freaked me, because it was not red with anger, but it was white, a pure white with gold reflex through it; more gold then I usually see. But that didn't make sense, because the only gold I see in auras is when there is a great feeling of love. And well… white was rare to see.
"We are mere knots away from the barrier sir, you are needed on deck," murmured the man behind the door.
Endymion sighed and freed me from the wall, "promise me now," He looked at me with intensity, "that you will drop this absurd curiosity and stay here." He did not move until I silently nodded my head. "I will send company once we are through the barrier," he added as he left the room; again locking it.
I was left out of breath as I watched Endymion leave. What was it about my question's that got him so worked up? But what it his aura was telling me? I had never come across a white aura like that before. But shaking my mind again I sighed and moved back into the bathroom where I brushed my hair before moving into the bed. It was a mystery to me how I could still care about Endymion. After our constant fighting and him never answering my questions… I still felt myself being drawn to him. But I guess it's true what people say, love really does hurt.
