The Forgotten Princess
Chapter 14: A Trip to the past
Last time: On The Forgotten Princess
"I can't believe this! It's like I was there." the young servant thought out loud as she closed the book, feeling her heart rate speed up, "I can't believe that I remember this."
"You remember what?"
The young blond looked up to see where the voice came from. She shivered in her position wondering who could be there since according to her memory she was alone. Her blue eyes searched desperately for the person hoping that she wouldn't get caught.
"Who's there?"
The story continues...
Slowly a tall dark figure emerged from the dark corner of the room. Selena's eyes widen in fear as she saw the king looking back at her with a very angry expression on his face. She couldn't tell if he was mad with her for being in the library or just mad that he had caught her reading a book instead of doing her chores. She just couldn't tell.
"Um…" she gazed at him suspiciously wondering if he had heard her entire out burst.
"What are you doing here?" he asked seriously while folding his arms.
"I…uh." she paused unsure of what to say to the king.
He walked over to where she sat, gliding his hand on the edge of the old wooden table. He gave her a mysterious smirk wondering why she was in the library in the first place.
"I'm sorry, your highness. I was just looking at the books you have here." she replied hastily as she got out of the chair, "I'm so sorry, I just..."
He raised his hand towards her, signaling that it was okay. Letting out a deep sigh she bowed her head.
"Selena, you should know that this old library is off-limits to servants especially when they should be doing their chores." he stated severely as he gazed at her. Selena frowned at his statement knowing that she could be in deep trouble. She played nervously with her fingers as she closed her blue eyes, "So, I see you've been reading The Forgotten Princess. The book I wrote for Darien on his birthday."
The young blond gasped, looking down at the navy blue book. She quickly pushed it aside, embarrassed that she had been caught with the king's property.
"Did these events really took place, your highness?" she asked nervously while placing her hair pin back into her hair.
Selena stood to her feet immediately getting ready to leave.
"Hmmm, well some of them. Tell me. Why are you so interested in Princess Serena?" he asked curiously while leaning on his right hand.
"I…uh, I just…well…" she paused not knowing how to answer that question.
She didn't know if she should tell the king that she was having dreams or visions about a princess she didn't even know and how she was trying to find out the mystery behind those dreams.
"Um…well I was just a little curious. I'm very sorry your highness." she sighed, sitting back down while bowing her head trying not to show her guilt, "I've heard Prince Darien talk a great deal about her so I thought I should find out at least something about her."
The king stood up straight with his arms folded. The blond man wondered if his servant was telling him the truth. But he could tell by the look in her blue eyes that she wasn't lying. He frowned while raking his beard. He wasn't expecting to find her here in his old library. He came up to the library to get some alone time so that he could try and figure out the mystery of who wanted to kill him. But instead found his son's maid reading through one of his books.
Clearing his throat loudly he caught her attention. He brushed down his brown suit that he wore, creasing some of it in the process.
"Hmmm, I see." he stated with a sly smirk, brightening up his dark eyes, "I've noticed that you seem to have some sort of feelings for my son."
"What?" she gasped unable to cope with his question, "I…"
'Feelings? How did he know?' she thought feeling rather strange.
"Don't worry I think he cares a great deal for you too. But that's another issue." he beamed pulling out a chair to sit down as well, "I also saw the intense battle between the two of you this morning. I must congratulate you on your swordsmanship, Selena. It's very impressive, Andrew has taught you well."
She frowned trying to hide her embarrassment. He saw them fighting today? As much as she was flattered that he thought she was a great fighter. She was still surprised that he saw them. But what did that mean? Did it mean that she would lose her job? Or did he see that the prince almost kissed her? Selena sighed as a single sweat rolled down her left cheek. Wiping it away she could feel the tension in the room building up.
"Did…you…Did you see the whole battle?" she asked nervously.
"No." he chuckled, making her squeak a bit, "I didn't have much time to watch. I only saw when you did those fancy flips and then I left to do my business."
'Oh that's a relief.' she thought but still feeling a bit nervous.
Bowing her head she thought some more. What if the king had saw that, would she have been fired? Would she have to leave the palace she had grown like? Or worst would she have to leave the prince in which she had grown to care so deeply for? Brushing a straying strand of her blond hair, she looked at the king.
"I'm sorry you're highness. I would leave now if you wish to fire me." she stated solemnly as she got out of his seat.
The king chuckled vibrantly making the young servant look at him weirdly. She was surprised that he was laughing much less loudly. It was as if he couldn't control himself and she was being to wonder why because she didn't think she was that funny or funny at all. He was laughing so much that he almost fell out of the old chair. Clutching the table harshly to steady himself, he continued his fit of laughter.
'She's so funny.' he thought holding his chest.
"Fire you?" he laughed some more barely able to contain himself, "I wouldn't fire you for something so trivial. Do you think you're the only servant that has liked my son?"
"Um…"
He got out of his seat and stood in front of Selena with a wide smile on his face as he touched her shoulders. She looked up at the king weirdly. He was giving her a fatherly look, one she had received from her father so many times before. He looked at her as if he was about to give her bad news or something.
"You're not the first servant that has had feelings for my son my dear," he stated in a matter of the fact sort of way, index pointed in the air as if correcting a child, "but as you know servants can't marry royalty so that's out of the question."
"I…" she paused wondering if she should say something.
He chuckled at her before speaking again.
"But don't worry my child, one day you will find someone else to love." he stated with a slight smile as he walked passed her heading towards one of the many bookshelves. She turned around to him with a sad expression on her face, tears about to fall, "By the way I think you should get back to your chores, after all that is your purpose for being here. Isn't it?"
She nodded a yes and headed towards the door but not before taking up the navy blue book she was reading. Luckily for her, he had not seen her do so since he was too busy gazing through one of the books. She immediately closed the door behind her and sighed. He wanted her to forget about his son. Frowning, she had to admit he was right. After all, the prince was getting married to his princess and there was nothing she or anyone else could do about it.
'This is bad.' she thought as she headed down the spiral stairs, 'How did I end up here?'
TWO DAYS LATER
"Come on you two, hurry up!!!" the raven haired queen yelled as she issued for her other servants to get the luggages into the carriages.
They walked steadily as they placed all the necessary equipment and luggage's needed for the journey. She tapped her hand when they were finished and issued them to go back into the palace. King Rudolph had assigned his advisor for four years to be in charge of the palace while he was gone. He would manage and ensure that everything was going smoothly in the town and make sure that the palace did not receive any attacks by rebels. Besides he didn't want to worry too much while he was on vacation.
At the same time the king and his son were struggling with two of the horses, the ones they needed for their journey to the Moon Kingdom. Three carriages stood by the palace gates awaiting the passengers who were still inside the castle except for Queen Olivia and her daughter. They were sitting patiently in the second carriage. There were also a few horses with soldiers to the front and rear of the carriages serving as main guards for them. Darien and his father were trying their very best to get Sugar and a black horse out of its cage. The black horse cooperated but Sugar was another issue. His cage which was now fully mended was secured perfectly but when Darien opened it to get him out he began to act up and kick his hind legs into the air.
"Come on…Sugar." the prince stated as the horse snort at him. Darien frowned throwing the horse a harsh look as he took out a small packet of sugar from his pocket but instead of taking it, Sugar kicked his legs in the air again, refusing to listen making him drop it to the floor, "You know you can be a real pain, come out of there!!"
He yelled pulling vibrantly on the horse's rope.
Finally after much struggle, Sugar walked indignantly out of his cage with Darien. King Rudolph was smiling at his son's victory while he began to strap the saddle around both horses' back. As soon as the strap was securely on Sugar's back, Prince Darien and his father exited the stables and headed towards the carriages, Darien with Sugar and the king with a black horse. They weren't too far when Sugar began to act up again. Prince Darien was getting impatient so he tried to stop Sugar but ended up being thrown to the grassy bed. Sugar ran away leaving him on the floor while heading towards a certain blond.
Simultaneously, Selena and her friends were making their way out of the palace. They had passed the steps and were now in the courtyard getting ready to head towards the carriages with the little luggage's they had. Raye, Amy and Lita walked slowly behind Selena as they too held their luggage's securely in their grasp.
"I can't believe it." Raye stated as she pushed her dark hair out of her face, "We're going
to the Moon Kingdom."
"Yeah. The king and queen are very considerate to bring us with them on their vacation trip." Lita smirked twisting the handle of her suitcase.
"Well I've heard it's because we are of high priority." Amy stated stopping the girls from continuing their journey, as they stared at her, "The king and queen only requested their personal servants to come with them. The Moon Kingdom has many servants that can tend to their needs but Queen Adena had declared that she wanted all personal maids to come. The king doesn't have a maid, just an advisor and he's staying behind to manage the palace. So that's why we were allowed to come."
"Oh but then, why is Lita coming?" Selena asked curiously making the girl look at her funny.
"She's their favorite cook."
Lita beamed making the others giggle a little. They continued to walk on the grass coming close towards the carriage. It was just a few feet away from them. But before they got there they heard a noise from their right. Turning in that direction they saw none other than Sugar running towards them at incredible speed. The girls got out of the way knowing how evil the horse could be while Selena just stood still with a smile. Sugar ran right up to Selena neighing loudly at her.
"Oh hi, Sugar!!" she yelled as she patted him on his head, he neighed in response.
Selena could see the prince walking towards her with a frown on his face and his dark eyes as cold as ever, his clothes ruffled as he stomped right up to her. As soon as he came up to them, he took Sugar by the bridle and walked away barely acknowledging her. The blond sighed. She barely spoke to him ever since he had proposed to Trista. She didn't know why but she felt kind of hurt that he was truly going to marry her and although she had agreed with the king that she should forget his son, she still felt bad about her decision. Bowing her head she walked slowly behind him.
The servants also followed immediately and got into the last carriage that was designated for them. The middle carriage was reserved for Princess Trista and her mother, Queen Olivia while the first carriage was left in place for Princess Mina, Prince Darien, King Rudolph, Queen Adena and Andrew. However at that very moment, King Rudolph was sitting on one of the horses that stood behind of Sugar. He decided to take the journey on the horse instead of the carriage. His wife was standing right next to him though he didn't realize. She was about to enter the carriage but instead of going in she went to find out why her husband chose not to accompany them in their transport.
"Rudolph, why don't you come into the carriage?" she asked while lifting her peach dress slightly.
"I'd rather travel on the horse darling." he replied coyly with a wide smile.
"But that's what we have soldiers for my dear." she replied sweetly as if teasing him, while issuing to the other soldiers who were beside him.
"Sorry Darling but I would rather travel by horse. I want to lead us on this journey," he laughed a little while gripping the bridle, "besides it shouldn't be too boring at all with Darien, Mina and Andrew."
She frowned as she folded her arms across her chest while giving him a harsh glare.
"You're so difficult sometimes."
"Hmmm, that's what makes me charming." he smirked as he blew a kiss to her.
She caught the imaginary kiss and slapped it on her left cheek with a light smirk on her face and then she entered into the carriage. Everyone was now fully in their designated carriage. The king yelled signaling for the soldier's to open the gates as he got ready to lead his family and friends out of the palace courtyard. They traveled for a long while, going through the woods and then finally entering the town of their village. As soon as they reached the exit gates that left the village, they then started their journey to the Moon Kingdom. It was a long while there.
The ride was calm and relaxing except for a few bumps on the rocky path. Everyone talked amongst themselves within the carriages but Selena was the silent one. She was mostly gazing at the scenery of the woods and the village they had left behind. Gazing to the sky she could see the birds chirping and a few animals dashing on the rock path escaping from the carriage's wheel.
Sighing, she wondered if she would enjoy her time spent in the Moon Kingdom. Would she like the king and queen? Would she even have fun? Thoughts were just peering through her head as she gazed out the carriage window. The journey to the Moon Kingdom took about 41/2 hours and by the time they got there nearly everyone was asleep. As soon as the carriage came to an abrupt stop, the passengers of the carriage began to stir. Everyone slowly got out of the carriages and headed towards the palace and up the luxurious stairs. Once inside, they were escorted by a servant down a large hallway coming to an elegant room. They had all left their luggages in the carriage as they came to the entrance of the room. The trumpets were sound as they walked into the large decorated room, known as the living room. A beautiful peach carpet filled the large room.
"PRESENTING THE ROYALS OF THE SHIELD'S KINGDOM!!!" a tall man shouted while holding the trumpet loudly, "King Rudolph, Queen Adena, their son Darien, his friend Andrew and your niece Princess Mina. Also special guests from the Maylo Kingdom, Princess Trista and her mother Queen Olivia."
They all bowed upon hearing their name. Immediately a middle age couple turned around to look at their guests that stood behind them. A raven haired man dress in a black suit stood next to his wife whom had silver purplish hair, wearing a light blue knee length summer dress. Everyone remained silent waiting to see what the king and queen of the Moon Kingdom had to say.
"Good morning and welcome to the Moon Kingdom." the queen replied sweetly with a bright smile, "I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here."
"Thank you." they all replied simultaneously.
"Sherise." Queen Serenity clapped her hands quickly as a short brunette appeared, "Take Queen Olivia and her daughter to the rooms we have prepared for them."
The two thanked her and followed the servant. There was a short moment of silence before a loud giggle could be heard. Before anyone knew what was going on Mina lunged at her aunt, hugging her tightly.
"Oh Aunt Serenity, I missed you so much."
"So did I Mina."
As soon as Serenity released her niece she saw her best friend staring her with teary eyes.
"Serenity, it's been so long!!!" the dark haired queen smirked as she rushed to hug her silver purplish haired friend.
"Oh Adena, it has been long, too long and look you grew your hair back out." she returned the hug, embracing her long time friend strongly.
They had not seen each other for about three years and Serenity was beginning to wonder what was going on. Rudolph and Damien both exchange quick hugs along with Darien welcoming each other back.
"I see you brought some of your servants." Serenity replied sweetly while looking at her best friend.
"Yes, I just wanted to have servants that I am well accustomed to." she sighed as she gazed at her friend, "I hope there isn't a problem."
The queen shook her head.
"No not at all. Please introduce them."
Darien stepped up towards the servants as he made his way to introduce each young girl in front of him. He didn't want his mother to do it for some reason he felt obligated.
"First off I would like to introduce my best friend, Andrew."
Andrew exchanged a hand shake with the king and queen.
"This is Amy whom you should already know, she is Mina's maid. Raye is my mother's personal maid." he replied as both Amy and Raye bowed slightly, receiving a nod from the queen, "This is Lita my mother's favorite cook."
Lita did a small curtsy with a wide smile. Queen Serenity and her husband nodded at this.
Darien now made his way towards his favorite young blond, "…and Selena is my personal maid."
Darien smirked. His hands were planted firmly on her shoulder and for a minute he seemed to not realize what he was doing. His parents stared at him strangely while he just smiled away. As soon as Selena bowed he could see Serenity's eyes lit up. She asked one of her maids to show Andrew, Amy, Lita and Raye to their rooms leaving Selena behind. Once everyone was out of sight Serenity turned back to Selena.
'Let's see if she can see what I see.' the prince thought not moving from his position.
Damien held his wife's hand, repeating no constantly. He could see her light blue eyes shining with happiness and he knew for sure that she was going to have another one of her episodes again.
"Young lady, what is your full name?"
Selena paused for a moment and then blinked, "Selena Tsukino."
"And where do you live?" she asked as her husband squeezed her hand again, this time tighter than before. She refused to listen to his constant whispers of no. She just knew she was right. She had a gut feeling that told her she was right.
"I live in the Shield's kingdom somewhere deep in the forest on the outskirts of Cherry Lane." the blond beamed wondering why she was asking so much questions.
Queen Serenity nodded stepping a bit forward while breaking out of her husband's grasp. She couldn't help it but deep down in her heart she knew this girl was her daughter. She was now close enough to touch her but she couldn't bring herself to do so. Tears were in her eyes as she gazed at the blond who was beginning to get scared. Why did she have to look so familiar?
"May I ask you an odd question?"
Selena nodded. The others looked on with curiosity.
"Do you recognize me?"
"Um…well I…no." Selena bowed her head a little.
All heads bowed at the response. They all knew how much the queen wished this child was her daughter but remained silent as to not make her hurt anymore. Darien moved from behind Serena, leaving her to talk with the queen while moving to stand close to his parents.
"A-Are you sure?" she asked walking closer towards the girl.
"Yes."
'What is she getting at?' Selena thought looking at the woman who reminded her so much of the queen in her dream. Plus she has the same name as well, 'This is strange but you know she does look a bit familiar.'
Serenity spoke once again standing with her arm stretch out.
"I…just…I mean you look so…you look so…" she started as her vision began to blur a little, "You look so much like someone I knew, very well."
"I'm sorry your highness. I do not know whom you're talking about."
Serenity staggered back a bit, she could feel the room spinning around her but she didn't care she just wanted to find out if this girl was her daughter or not. She took a deep sigh as she slowly took hold of the young girl's hand.
"Selena, are you really sure you don't recognize me?" she asked again, this time in a slight whisper.
The young girl nodded sadly as the queen let go of her hand. The queen gripped her head in an instant feeling a harsh headache coming on. She held her left hand close to her chest as if to slow down her heart rate.
"Aahh!!" she yelled out in pain as she fell backwards heading towards the carpet floor.
Her husband caught her just in time and picked her up. Everyone stared wide eyed at both Selena and the queen whom had fainted. Darien left his parents and rushed towards his maid who could be seen shaking lightly. He placed his hand on her shoulder and gave her a concern look. She returned the look with a weak smile.
"Selena, let's go." the prince replied as he dragged her away.
The two walked away leaving the couples behind. Luckily for them no one else in the palace had seen what had took placed in the room. Slowly the prince and his maid walked hand in hand down the hallway heading towards the servants' quarters. The prince knew where the quarters were since he had visited the palace so many times before. When they finally reached the door Selena turned to look at the prince and only realized then that he was holding her hand. She blushed immediately when he released her hand.
"You're highness…" she began staring up at him, "Why did the queen faint? Was it something I did or said? Or am I that ugly?"
She stared at him with curious eyes as he chuckled a bit in return. He smirked while placing his hands on her shoulder, looking deep into her crystal blue eyes.
"You did nothing Selena she just thought you were her daughter and trust me you're not ugly." he whispered as he gave her a small peck on the cheek and then turned to leave.
Before he left he turned back to her, "Stay here until I get back. I'm sure the queen has some sort of activity we all must attend to."
"Yes, your highness." she replied while he disappeared down the hallway.
Before Selena knew what happened she collapsed on the floor. It looked like the kiss the prince gave her shocked her more than she thought.
SERENITY'S CHAMBER
Serenity groaned lightly as she shifted in her bed. Her eyes shot open as she gazed around her surrounding. Frowning, she noticed she was in her room but she didn't quite remember why. All she could remember was seeing a young girl who reminded her of her daughter, Serena. The child she wished was still alive. Sitting up she rubbed her head from the terrible pain she felt. It felt like she had been struck hard against the shoulders and the back of her head, the tension in her neck was so hard that it hurt when she pressed her shoulders lightly.
"Serenity, are you feeling better?" a raven haired man asked, entering the room with a tray in his hands.
She gazed at him with a teary expression, now remembering what had happened only moments before.
"Damien…" she whispered, sitting up fully.
"Yes dear. Everything is fine now." he replied taking a seat next to her and placing the tray on the bed.
Queen Serenity bit her lip as she looked at her husband, her silver purplish hair in its usual meatball hair style dangling lightly on the bed. She couldn't understand why he could not see what she could. Was it something she had said? She turned slightly on the bed as she got ready to stand up. He stopped her, giving her a cup of tea he had brought with him.
"Here." he stated calmly as she took the cup hesitantly from his hands, "Serenity…"
King Damien paused. His wife clutched her cup tightly in her grasp, while sipping slowly from it. The raven haired man touched his wife's shoulder causing her to flinch. She placed the cup on the table next to the bed.
"Serenity…" her blue eyes gazed at him in fear, "I know you miss our daughter and you wish that this Selena girl is Serena. But Selena is not out daughter."
"Damien, didn't you see her face? Those eyes? Her smile?" she asked desperately looking at him as he gave her a frown.
"She's not our daughter." he stated sternly instantly shaking her by the shoulders.
Serenity gave her husband a harsh glare. Did he think she did not know her own child? He let go of his wife and ruffled his hair with a sigh, knowing that she had not agreed with him.
"You need to let go of the past Serenity. Serena is dead and there is nothing we can do about it." he got up to his feet immediately, his head bowed low.
He stood with his back facing Serenity, tears threatening to fall, the first in a long time ever since the death of his child. He clenched his fists together and turned around to face his wife who was already crying. Her sobs were consistent and he couldn't bear to have her go through another one of her episodes again. Ever since their daughter had died, his wife had never been the same. She was like a different person, many thought she was hallucinating and had gone senile when she could cry at nights for her daughter. He in turn knew the pain she was going through and now that this girl was here he didn't want to have a repeat of that.
"We have to move on Serenity." he whispered as he heard her let out a gasp, "I want you to be happy and we can't keep living like this all the time. We have to accept the fact that our daughter is gone and that she is in a better place right now."
He approached his wife and pulled her onto her feet. He gave her a huge hug which she returned while crying onto his shirt. Composing herself after a while, she released the hug and looked at her husband while wiping her tears.
"I accept it Damien." she said sternly, her blue eyes staring him with determination, "But I will prove to you that Selena is Serena, my daughter. I will…somehow."
The middle aged woman exited the room in her light blue dress leaving her husband behind dumfounded.
'Man she's stubborn.' the king thought with an exasperated sigh.
SERENA'S ROOM
"This is boring." the young girl muttered while pacing the carpet of the servants' quarters.
She had been in the room waiting for the prince to return. However when she came to the room none of her friends were there, they seemed to have been out sight seeing or something. Coming to a conclusion, she decided to do the same to go out and explore the palace.
Slowly she opened the door and slipped out of the room. Sure Prince Darien had requested that she stay in the room but she was tired of waiting for him to return. Selena walked silently down the hall. She decided that she couldn't stay in the room any longer. For some reason she felt trapped. It was just something, something about this palace that seemed so familiar. The interior, the arches in the halls, the painting on the few walls all seemed to have come from a dream she had ever so long ago when she was a child. Walking up a flight of stairs to the East of the palace she traveled down the long hall. Pictures of a young blond girl stood on the walls. The one that caught her eye the most was a painting of a blond child and her mother.
The painting showed the mother and child together. Serena, the young girl at age four was sitting in the arms of her mother. Queen Serenity, the mother was holding her child lovingly with a large smile on her face. She wore a lavender short sleeve dress and her daughter wore the exact duplicate of it. They also wore small bracelets on their writs along with their semi small crowns. Selena smirked at the picture. Oh how it felt so familiar.
A sudden shift of noise caught Selena's attention causing her to turn her head immediately to the right. She walked further down the hall ignoring her conscience pleading her to stop and turn back.
'I wonder what's down there.' she thought, moving towards an elegant door just a few feet ahead of her.
In front of the door stood a smashed lamp on the floor.
Ignoring the lamp, she immediately stepped over it. Curiosity got the best of her as she slowly opened the door, gently pushing against the fancy door handle. Inside was the most beautiful room she had ever seen, pink could be seen everywhere. A small elegant bed stood in the middle of the room decorated with light pink bed sheets. A tall full length mirror stood in the further corner which was next to a dressing table. A small stool could be seen in front of it. Selena made her way further into the room and instantly propped herself onto the bed. She leaned on the bed a bit and before long she began jumping up and down like a five year old.
"Wow!! This place is beautiful!!" she yelled still jumping on the bed.
Toys could be seen all over the room stacked in a neat order. Selena could see the cob webs that laid all over the toys and bed. It showed that no one had been in the room for quite sometime, and for a minute an eerie feeling crept up inside of her. Getting off of the bed she began to explore the remaining places of the room. She came to a closet and peered through it to see many small pretty colorful dresses all contained in plastics wrappings. After a few seconds she closed the closet and headed towards the dressing table. She examined the items on the table, investigating all the things that little Serena had before she died. Soon she came to a little pink jewelry box which contained numerous amounts of earrings and bracelets. A note was taped down on the top of the jewelry box, without warning Selena snatched it off and opened the envelope that had the name Serena written on it.
As soon as she opened the note she saw an elegant handwriting written in calligraphy with a black pen.
My Dearest Serena,
The news came back today that out kingdom's highly trained guards could not find you or your body, since many has presumed you to be dead. It has already been two heart wrenching months but I am still holding on to a thread of hope. I am most troubled and sad to know that my first and only daughter has been taking away from me. Everyday I try to think of possible ways I could've prevented this incident from happening. But no matter what scenarios I could possibly think of none could compare to what really happened. The pain and thought of losing you forever keeps me awake at nights and sometimes I wonder if I would be able to make it through another day. I miss seeing your smiling face, your beautiful blond hair that you took from your grandmother and your bubbling personality. It missed all of that so much and I am still hoping that one day I will see your face again.
With love
From your mother,
Serenity Moon
Selena closed the note silently and contemplated on what was written. She felt so sad to know that this lady had lost her daughter at such a terrible time. She closed her eyes and went to sit on the bed.
'It's so sad.' she thought, hugging her chest lightly, 'Why do I feel like I know how she feels? To lose something…something so dear to her.'
"Selena!!" her eyes popped open immediately.
She knew that voice anywhere. It was none other than the prince. She frowned, if he found her in his best friend's place. Who know what he might do? She bit her lip trying to think of some way to get out of the room.
"Selena!!! Where are you?" he asked, his voice getting closer to the slightly ajar door, "I know you're down here somewhere."
She gasped while looking down at her attire, "Its Darien."
