A/N: Thanks again everyone for reading, reviewing, favoriting, and putting my story on their alerts! :)
And so a few hours passed before she was able to regain her senses. She had maddened him worse than she ever had before. Seeing what Endymion was capable of scared her out of her wits. The whole room was utter destruction.
She carefully crept to the bathroom and sat in the bathtub. She pulled her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. Would she ever be let free? This had to be some crazy dream. Yes, it was all a dream! She blinked. Nothing happened. She slowly began to accept that she was trapped here by Endymion, a ghost prince. Water filled her eyes and she cried herself asleep where she drifted off to a faraway place.
Serenity ran in the fields of wheat, laughing as her golden hair twirled around her like a flag. "Endymion, you can't catch me!" She spun around to stick out her tongue but instead he crashed into her, both of them falling to the ground.
"I'll always catch you, whether you're running away or falling." Endymion said cryptically, gazing adoringly at her.
"Oh Endymion," she sighed teasingly. "Are you my knight in shining armor?"
"Perhaps."
"Perhaps?"
"Yes, perhaps. Some do not have to be a knight in shining armor to catch a damsel."
Serenity giggled. "You sound so serious when speaking of that."
In fact, Endymion was serious rather than playful, but he smiled, continuing on as if he was bantering all along. "My dear damsel, will you allow me to catch you forever?"
"Of course!" she played along before giving him a quick peck on his lips. She leaped up and continued to run with Endymion trailing behind.
"Endymion…"
"Endymion," Usagi breathed softly before her eyes popped open. The dream she just had was haunting… Endymion was insane! Even within her dreams, he was obsessing over Serenity. Poor Serenity didn't notice how Endymion was secretly making her vow to allow him to have her forever!
She stretched out her limbs and yawned, finding herself on the bed. She wasn't on the bed before she fell asleep. She glanced around in confusion, only seeing darkness. She was going to become crazy if she didn't see the light."Endymion?"
She waited for his response. No reply.
"Endymion?"
Again, no reply.
Usagi jumped out of the bed, screeching in pain as her foot connected with a shard of glass. She fell back onto the bed, clutching her foot. Tears sprung to her eyes, daring to leak out. She felt hot liquid seeping from her foot and onto her hands. "Endymion!" She sniffled, ripping a piece of her torn shirt to wrap around her foot. After a few moments, she decided that she was alone.
She began to wrap her other foot and limped off the bed.
"Trying to escape again?" Endymion breathed against her neck.
Startled by his brisk appearance, she fell backward onto him. "N-no... I injured my foot."
He reveled the way her body molded into his. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he took her back to the bed and began to examine her foot by untying the cloth around it. He felt guilty for earlier, how he couldn't control himself, yet he couldn't bring himself to apologize. He NEVER apologized for anything.
His hands gently brushed along her injury, making her toes curl in delight. His soft touch almost made her moan aloud. She could feel his eyes on her face, which caused her to blush. She fidgeted nervously, unsure of what to speak of.
"Serenity," Endymion spoke, "Perhaps you have forgotten the past." He had pondered upon this idea for a while. He had studied her the moment she stepped into his palace and there was something off about her, as if she didn't recognize him. Still, he refused to acknowledge that she wasn't Serenity. She just had to be."You were my everything. My life, my heart, my soul."
Usagi listened silently while he poured out his thoughts.
"I believed in you that you were the answer to all my problems on Terre. You were the moon princess." He paused to take a breath. " You enchanted me the moment I laid my eyes on you. You were the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. No woman could ever compare to your beauty."
For a brief second, Endymion looked normal without the wicked gleam on his face. But quickly, his face contorted in anger, obliterating all signs of appearing normal.
"But you took everything away from me. You pushed me away, you damned me, you cursed me!" He straddled her body, looking crazier than a mad man. "You told me that you didn't love me, that I should be with Beryl." He punched a fist into the headboard of the bed."NO! I would never be with that whore! I only want you!"
Usagi was paralyzed. She was helpless. No one would save her...
"Don't you remember, Serenity?" he cooed jeeringly. "You promised you'd let me catch you forever."
The words echoed in her mind, reminding her of her dream.
Seeing a hint of recognition flit over her features, he gripped her arm tightly. "I see you do remember that. There's no use in denying that you aren't Serenity."
"Even if I was Serenity, what use am I to you?"
"Plenty."
Usagi whimpered in pain, her arm becoming numb. "Ow you're hurting me!"
He ignored her and licked her pink lips. "Soon, my love, you will understand." He flew off her and straightened his black shirt before pacing around the room, muttering incoherent things. Usagi stayed silent.
More time had passed and Usagi was beginning to lose hope. Each time, Endymion would become more persistent in trying to force himself on her. She wouldn't let him ever.
Endymion was more than disturbed. He wasn't making much process with her. His knuckles turned white as he squeezed his hands tightly. Pursing his lips, he tried to figure out another way to win his Serenity's affections. The more forceful he was, the weaker she seemed to become. Force had to be the answer. He would not take no for an answer.
"Serenity." He smirked mischievously.
Becoming used to being called Serenity, Usagi replied, "What?"
"You know how much I love you?"
The lustful look sent at her made her stomach knot up in terror. She wasn't sure how to answer his question. Saying no might send him in a violent rage but saying yes would make him question her further. Nevertheless, her predictions were wrong.
He didn't wait for her answer and began to speak, "I love you more than the entire universe." His declaration sent chills through her body. "And I will demonstrate to you my feelings."
Usagi let out an "eep!" and scooted toward the locked door.
He lunged at her, throwing his body over hers. He ravaged her lips, sucking on them as if he was a starved man. She still resisted and remained stiff, unresponsive. He ran his hand down her body, toying with the hem of her shirt. He glared at her when he noticed her face was scrunched up in disgust, her eyes squeezed shut. Her nose was crinkled and her lips were sealed in a tight line.
"Oh Serenity, you only increase my desire with that face." He laughed manically when her eyes and mouth flew wide open. He took that chance to slip his tongue inside her mouth. Yes, Serenity would be his.
She struggled, her shrieks muffled by his mouth, which covered hers. She flung her arms at him but it did nothing.
He bit her lip hard, leaving her lips bruised. He just couldn't seem to get enough of her. She tasted of honey, sweet and tangy. He could feel her slowly slacken, returning his kiss, which excited him. He wanted more, more, more! His lovely Serenity...
Usagi lost control of her body. The way his lips lightly ghosted over hers made her give in. Her hands reluctantly crept up around his neck before managing their way into his tousled hair. Surprised that she could actually feel him, she realized that she was becoming an active participant in his sick scheme. She gurgled a cry of repugnance, shoving his heavy body off of her.
Endymion, who did not expect her act of defiance, was thrown off guard. He blinked as recognition dawned him. His veins boiled and his mind was set aflame. He encroached upon her as she scooted backwards, a dark grim grin forming on his lips. "You will regret what you just did, my darling."
She shook violently, but still she tried to appear not frightened. "Never."
"We shall see about that."
"Of course." She shot him the meanest glare she could muster.
"Won't you finish what you started?" He began to undress, unbuttoning his shirt.
Usagi darted to the door, slamming her fists on it. It flew open to her astonishment and the light almost blinded her vision. She was free!
