Note: Sorry for the long delay. I'm finally settled into the new house. It's just been really hard to get back to work.

Serenity was expecting to be led to the throne room but was led away down a long corridor.

"Where are we going?" She asked curiously

"To Lord Atalides room." the servant responded.

Serenity suddenly had a bad feeling. Once they were there, the servant made a slight knock on the door.

"Enter." came his muffled voice.

The servant gave Serenity a look of pity and left.

Serenity opened the door and stepped through, shutting the door lightly but keeping her back to the door.

"Hello dear." He said not turning around to face her.

He was out on the balcony looking out into the sunset. Serenity didn't respond. She only wondered where exactly did the balcony look over. She prayed it didn't show the gardens.

"I know I haven't been able to talk to you since we were at your father's house, but I have some tings to say." He said keeping his back to her.

"Like what?" She found herself asking.

"If you every try to say anything to your father again, it'll be the last thing you say to him." He said bitterly.

She felt a chill run down her spine. He finally turned around and faced her. He looked calm but she knew on the inside he was boiling. She wanted turned around and leave but she knew running would make things worse. She kept her head up and stared at him. He strode quickly over to her.

"Is that a threat?" She asked boldly

"Are you questioning me?" He asked slapping her hard.

"You have no right to him me." She said calmly.

Little did she know, she was adding fuel to the fire. She just figured if she stood her ground a little he stop.

"I have no right to hit you?" He exclaimed.

He grabbed her shoulders and slammed her against the door.

"I have every right to hit you! How dare you lie to your father about me!" He yelled slamming her with every word. Serenity held her eyes closed tightly with each blow.

"You'll never tell your father again! You hear me!" he yelled some more.

After that the blows came more fiercely. He made sure every hit made her remember not to go against him.

Serenity opened her eyes. Everything was dark. She had a splitting headache. She looked around her surrounding to only see that she was still in Atalide's rooms. It was night night time and the moonlight from the balcony spilled over her body. She ached all over. Picking herself up off the floor, she looked around to only not the he wasn't there. She quickly left the room. The hallway was empty and she had no clue where her room was or where Atalides was. She was afraid to run into him again. She only prayed she didn't see Endymion. She would hate for him to see her in this condition. She ran down the hall in the direction she came from earlier. As she rounded the corner, she ran right into Kunzite.

"Serenity?" He noted in surprise.

She looked down. She was ashamed of the way she probably looked. Her dress was torn and her sandals were gone. She didn't want to be there at that moment.

"What happened." he asked in surprise.

"Nothing. I fell" She lied weakly

Kunzite frowned at her.

"Some how I have a feeling that you didn't fall. Did Atalides hurt you?" He asked softly.

"No," she said quickly, " Um, could you please show me to my room."

"Follow me." He said quietly.

Kunzite led her down a corridor in another direction. The palace seemed like a huge maze to her.

"Remember you're in the East Wing. The other women's rooms are beside yours and down the hall. So there is someone on either side of you if you need them."

Serenity took in the information but said nothing. Kunzite opened the door that led to her room. It was beautiful. The room was done in cream and gold.

"Your belongings are already put up." He said as she entered.

"Thank you." She said weakly blushing still wondering about her appearance.

"Are you hungry? You've missed dinner. Atalides said you were sick." He said quietly.

"Yes. I'll get something later."

"I'll get you something now. Just wash up and change. I'll be back." He said closing her door softly.

Kunzite was a true gentleman. No wonder her sister like him so much. Good looks, charms, caring and security. Serenity headed to her bathroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked horrible. Her cheek had a dark mark across it, already bruising. Her dress was torn and bloody. Her lip was swollen and her hair was a mess. Serenity side and began to patch herself up.

10 minutes later...

Serenity looked a little better. She wore a pale pink nightgown and her long hair braided. Her face didn't look so battered but the mark was still there. She sat on her bed wondering about her upside down life when a knock came at the door.

"Who is it?" She asked hesitantly

"Kunzite." came a voice

Serenity got off the bed and went to the door. She cracked it open at little and peaked out. Kunzite looked down on her with an amused look. She smiled up at him and opened the door wide enough for him. Kunzite stepped through with a tray and she closed the door behind him. She went and climbed back on the bed. Kunzite looked at her becoming uncomfortable about her clothing. It would be him that would see her like this. He just made himself think what would Mina look like. Serenity noted that he didn't move from his spot so she climbed into the bed covering herself.

"Thank you." She said gratefully.

He sat the tray down on her lap and sat on the edge of the bed by her her side.

"You're welcome." He said lightly

She took a sip of her water and placed it back on her tray.

"Was there any problems about you bringing me any food.?" She asked

"Little. Endymion wanted to bring you your food but I talked him out of it. Your mother is going to come tuck you in." He said slightly amused.

Serenity took a bite of her fruit and sighed.

"Thank you so much." She said again.

"Well you need your rest. I should be leaving." He said getting up.

"Wait." Serenity said.

He looked down on her questioningly. Serenity held her arms out. Kunzite chuckled at her child like appearance. He bent over her bed, careful not to hit her tray and let her hug him.

"Thanks for not telling anyone how you found me."

"You're welcome. M'lady." he said as she released him.

He smiled down at her and headed to the door. She had a feeling that he'd marry her sister and she smiled to herself.

"Good Night." He called behind him.

"Night." She said turning her attention to her food.

Note: Sorry for the long wait. Hope you enjoyed it. More to come soon!!!!!!!
