Note: Yay!!!! The last chapter! Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it. Review!
Sunlight filtered thorough Serenity's room. Endymion woke up and looked to his side. It wasn't a dream. Flashes of him and Serenity making love brought a smile to his face. Serenity was still sleeping.
'What a beautiful sight to wake up to every morning. Please goddes Athena let me be making the right decision and Aphrodite let her be the one. Be with me today.' He prayed silently.
He kissed her cheek and she stirred lightly. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Morning." She said
"Morning beautiful. I can not stay. I must get back to my rooms before one of my generals notice that I'm gone." he said.
"Okay." She said trying not to close her eyes again.
He chuckled and climbed out of the bed. He put his clothes back on and headed out quietly not trying to wake anyone. He hurried down the hall peeking around each corner as he went. The coast was clear and he headed to the north to his private corridor. He entered his room and closed the door. He made it.
"Did you have a good night?" Came a voice.
He was completely thrown off guard. He turned around hiding his expression. Atalides was sitting in a chair .
"Mind your own business." Endymion said darkly.
"It's my business when you're sleeping with my fiancée" Atalides snapped.
Endymion simply glared at him giving him nothing.
"Why are you here?" Endymion asked.
"To find out some information your highness but it's becoming all the more obvious to me" He sneered, " You can be honest. Were you at Serenity's house awhile back? Be truthful. I really don't mind at this point. If you were Serenity can be held for treason back home."
" You have nothing to go on. Why are you so against the woman you supposedly love?" Endymion asked.
"Her moaning your name last night is proof enough. Her father must know of her sleeping with the enemy." He said haughtily.
Endymion's blood was raging. There was no way he was letting him try to destroy Serenity.
"I must be going. Glad we could talk." He said heading to the door.
"You know, I've been waiting for this day. To let you know that I'll never let you hurt her again and live to see it." Endymion said cracking his knuckles.
Serenity sat down at the breakfast table cheerfully. Everyone was there except Endymion and Atalides. Rule was that no one could eat until the Prince arrived.
"Good Morning everyone." She said
"Hi sweetheart" her mother said her mother answering for all.
Serenity scooted up close to the table hungrily. Minako looked at her sister slyly.
"Sleep good last night?" She whispered nudging her.
"Mina be quiet." She hissed.
Before their conversation could continue, Endymion entered with a look of satisfaction. Minako glanced at Serenity smugly.
"Stop." She whispered fervently to her sister.
"Atalides may be coming in a little late. We may start breakfast." Endymion said.
Everyone began eating and chatting amongst each other. Serenity sat across from Serenity.
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked her in a low voice.
She nodded blushing. She seemed to be doing a lot of that recently. As Endymion picked up his fork she noticed that his hand looked a little purple and she wondered what could have happened to him. He seemed to be not worried about it.
"What happened to your hand?" She asked with concern.
He smiled at her sweetly. She was definitely worth beating Atalides up for. He'd kill him if he tried again. He really loved her. She was just perfect to him. She was constantly concerned about others, she had a beautiful laughter that made him enjoy being around her, she was just fun to be around and she loved him.
She took a sip of her juice and looked towards the entrance to see Atalides look pretty disheveled. He looked angry enough to kill.
"Serenity, we need to talk." He said not leaving the bitterness out of his voice.
Her parents looked at each other worriedly.
"Is there a problem?" Kenji asked.
"It'll only a take a minute sir. We need to talk to but I'll come back for you." He said evasively.
Serenity excuse herself from the table and Endymion wanted to go with her. She smiled at him and walked away. Once they were away from the dining area Atalides grabbed her arm and slung her into a wall. She crumpled to the floor like a doll. He didn't plan on throwing her but he was so angry with her betrayal. He began kicking her
"I hate you!" He screamed at her.
He began using more force with each kick. The pain was too much for her and she blacked out.
"If it wasn't for the money, I wouldn't marry you! You're nothing but a worthless whore and a traitor!" He screamed.
Besides being angry, he was embarrassed from the beating he got from Endymion. In the breakfast room everyone could hear the yelling. Endymion was furious. He jumped up from the table before anyone and went after Atalides. Atalides was purely stupid if he thought he could get away with this. Everyone else followed after Endymion. Kenji couldn't believe it. By the time he arrived at the scene Endymion had grabbed Atalides and was practically beating him to death. Some where amongst the turmoil Selene had called for guards. Kenji was mortified and ashamed for not believing his daughter. She lay on the ground bleeding. He picked her up and held her as if she was a baby. Guards came rushing taking Atalides away to his punishment. Kenji cried for the first time in years.
Serenity opened her eyes to see everyone looking down at her. She was back in her bed.
"What happened?" She asked holding her head, as she sat up.
"Shhh. Lay down. You need your rest." Endymion said softly.
She did as she was told.
"Where's Atalides?" She murmured.
"Gone for good." Her mother said smoothing her hair.
Her parent sat on the bed near her with Endymion by her mother. Her parents hugged her and planted kisses on her gently.
"Sweet heart , I'm so sorry I didn't believe you." Kenji said sadly.
"It's okay."
She looked to see her friends weeping but smiling at her. Her brother Andrew was next to their father. She forgot he was even on the same trip with them. He seemed to have just reappeared but he had some girl with him that had long brown hair. She was really pretty. She smirked at him and he just shrugged. He was always pulling brunettes; maybe this time she would be a keeper but she was kind of embarrassed to have the girl see her like this. Endymion's generals were there all baring gifts. They were all really sweet. And her love, Endymion just smiled at her happily; he was just glad she was awake. She had been out for hours.
"Did you tell my parents yet?" She asked uncertainly.
"Yes." He said smiling.
"Sere, I'm glad you made a good decision. If Endymion is who you want, then we want him. He also brings peace with him." Her father said approvingly.
Serenity rolled her eyes looking away from her father. He was always looking at the political side of things. She held her hand out to him and he took it sitting closer to her mother.
"I told them every thing from the beginning but not everything of course." He said seriously, making her blush.
"What are you leaving out? You better not have touched my daughter in an ungodly way?" Kenji said perking up becoming protective.
Her friends laughed and Selene glared at him.
"There is one thing though." He said completely ignoring Serenity's father.
"What?" She asked curiously.
"Will you marry me?" He asked.
Selene moved out of the way so he could be closer to her daughter.
Serenity sat up and hugged him tightly.
"Yes" She said fervently kissing his cheek.
He laughed joyously holding the love of his life. Serenity father began to protest but he knew better from the look from his wife. He simply shrugged and watched on.
It was a wonderful way to a beautiful beginning.
