| Author's Note: ok here's my first fanfic on Seiya and Serena ever. I hope you all enjoy it! Midnight Dreamer Chapter 1............... The dream is always the same. I'm running, but I don't know where too. I'm scared, I'm tired, I want to just lay down and sleep, but awareness of the unknown that could be lurking in the thick fog around me keeps me awake. No matter where I turn, no matter where I go, the fog is there. And just when I'm about to begin to cry, just when panic is beginning to consume my body, I see a figure emerging from the fog. Its a man and he's very tall, very powerfully built. His shoulders are broad and strong, his arms heavy with muscle. He's magnificent, breath taking, but for some odd reason I can't see his face. But this doesn't matter to me, only that he's here for me. He holds out his arms to me and I don't hestitate. I run to him, feeling his arms envelope me tightly, warm and safe against his body. I've never felt such fullfillment, such peace. And so much love filling my heart. I trust him with my life because I know he's my rescuer, my own knight come for me. His strong hand takes my chin, lifting my face to him, and then he kisses me. His soft, warm mouth moves against mine and I surrender to him, my body melting into his, his arms tightening around me. Tears of joy gather in my eyes, tears that he finally found me........ Serena O'Neil awoke with a start, her hand going to her heart, her body drenched in sweat. Her heart was beating rapidly, her eyes wide as she glanced about the room, expecting to find him. The dream had been so real. She'd been having that same dream for six years now, ever since the deaths of her parents when she was fifteen. It was always the same; she was always ruuning through fog looking for something, always tired and scared. And always when she feels ready to cry with fright, he comes to her, finding her, then kissing her with passion and tenderness. Except that lately the dream had felt so real. She had always known it was a dream, always been aware it wasn't real, but the last few weeks it had seemed so real that when she awoke she expected to find him in her room with her, kissing her. With a firmly set mind, she put the dream aside. She was twenty-one years old, she couldn't afford to ponder on strange dreams. She was the owner of a huge Shipping Company that her parents had left her. She was one of the richest women in the world. Her company was so successful that even Seiya McCloud, owner of the McCloud Shipping, was becoming annoyed with there competition. And that was why he had issued a meeting with her. He had invited her to his home in Maine, where she was supposed to stay for the weekend. She knew what he wanted to do. He was going to attempt to sweet talk her into merging her company with his. And she was ready for him. Seiya McCloud was a cold hearted, unfeeling man, with no care for anyone besides himself. He had been built under generations of McClouds and new that he descended from a very old family, a family rich in history. This knowledge, and the knowledge that he knew he was rich, powerful, and dangerously handsome all came together to make one concieted, hard man. "I'm going to take that little O'Neil bitch on and take her company from her."Seiya growled, his secretary staring at him with a heavy sigh."She's just a child. I'm going to have her eating out of the palm of my hand." Raye, his secretary, frowned at that."What do you plan to do to her?" He flashed her a grin, causing her to almost melt."Seduce her. She's only a child. It will be too easy." Raye scowled at this. She had been in love with her boss for years, ever since he had first hired her. He was a handsome man. Thick, black hair, dark blue eyes, broad shoulders and strong arms, a breath taking body. He worked out every day at the gym, keeping in shape. All the women who worked for him always wore skimpy clothing to the office when he was there, each trying to get his attention. He loved women and often, so he would always choose one to take each time. Raye hoped it would be her this time. "Raye, call my brother and tell him to go to my house in Maine this weekend. I want this woman to feel as comfortable as possible and with Yaten there, she should be. All the women trust Yaten, even if they don't trust me."he laughed shortly, then was out of his office, gone from her sight. Raye couldn't help sighing again. Yaten was Seiya's younger brother and he was just as handsome and polished and clean cut as Seiya was dark and dangerous. Both men were breath taking to look at, as was there other younger brother Taiki. Taiki was the smart one in the family, the one who had inherited a huge amount of knowledge. With this knowledge he had become a world reknown doctor, leaving the family Shipping Company and going out on his own. Yaten had also left the shipping company to work as a business man, where he was already very successful and rich. Seiya had taken the Shipping Company onto his shoulders and since then devoted his life to it. Raye quickly went to her desk, where she excitedly called Yaten. Even if it was for Seiya, she always jumped at the oppurtunity to talk to either of his two gorgeous brothers. "I don't see why I have to chaperone your seducing of a mere child."Yaten said angrily as he walked into Seiya's huge estate, carrying a small bag of luggage."Did it ever occur to you that I have plans of my own?" "No. Now will you stop whining and get yourself ready? She's supposed to be arriving soon."Seiya snapped. "Your getting old Seiya. This girl is going to look at you and see her father, not a man."Yaten laughed out loud when Seiya glared at him."Your thirty, what did you expect? For the women to still fall at your feet?" "Jealous that I get more then you ever could?"Seiya sneered, wiping the smile from his brothers face."Now, your here only to make the girl feel safe, not to take her for your own. She's mine, and if you want her when I'm done with her, thats fine. Until then, don't try taking her from me. This is to important. I'm getting rid of a fly thats been bothering me for a long time." Yaten shook his head, his green eyes narrowed."One day your going to meet a woman you fall so hard in love with you'll hardly be able to think, and she's going to reject you."with that, he disppeared into the house. Seiya scowled at his retreating back, then ordered one of his butlers to see to Serena O'Neil, that was going to take his stallion out for some exercise and he would be back later. He then left, saddling his horse, and taking off to ride across the plains of his estate. That was when he saw a car parked on the side of the road, and a woman standing next to it. But she was beautiful, with long, golden white hair and sparkling blue eyes. Her body was slim and perfect in proportion as she looked about her, seemingly lost. He rode to her, coming to a stop when she turned to him."Hello."he said, giving her his most charming smile."Need help?" "No, I'm fine. Just admiring the scenary. Its beautiful here."she said a soft voice."I wonder who could own so much beauty." "Oh that would be me. I'm Seiya McCloud."he leaned forward in his saddle, his eyes hooded."And who exactly are you?" Stay tuned for Chapter 2! |
