Without futhur ado Part Three!
ANGEL OF MINE(Part 3)
BY:JLaLa
Walking down the stairs Serena's silvery white heels clicked against
the marble steps and the group below looked in awe and enchantment at
the sight before them. There walked their friend Serena but they still
couldn't believe it. Her bangs had been trimmed and her long hair cut
to below her butt. Her blond curled tips swayed as she moved and her
striking blue eyes looked at them shyly. Her curvy body was emphasized
by the gown she wore and the fabric dragged on the stairs giving her
an elegant look at she made her way down. Serena's slim arms were
showing and her creamy back revealed. Not to mention the fact that
Serena's chest looked awfully matured for her age! The thought
made her blush beautifully spreading a rose color to her cheeks.
Her lashes were curled making her eyes wide and innocent but her
long legs and tight butt gave her a look to make any man desire her.
This however didn't matter for she wished for only one man to
even take a glance which was Darien. He was taking more than a few
glances! His heart seemed to stop and his throat was dry. *Sweet Mother
of Mercy!*, he thought. She looked at them as her small hand held the
side of the stairs showing her french manicured nails. Taking in a
breath he prepared to move but it seemed his feet weren't cooperating!
"Hey that's not Serena!", yelled Neflyte. Walking up the stairs to
try to peer into the room to make sure it was no joke. "Where the
hell is Serena?"
"How would you like me to punch in the stomach to prove it?", retorted
Serena. "Remember I beat your ass too when I was six!"
"I was just kidding Serena", He said and hugged Serena. Kissing her on
the cheek he took at look at her. "You're beautiful!"
"Yeah and it took hours to achieve", She said smiling. Her heart shaped
lips had a pinkish tint to it and they curved when she smiled revealing
her pearly teeth.
"Serena you're the queen of grand entrances", complimented Mina. "Talk
about dramatic"
"Actually I walked out of fear that Raye would actually yank down the
stairs!", She told them.
"Serena I can't believe it's you!", Raye said. "You can thank me later"
"Actually we all have go now we'll be late", Ami said.
"Yeah let's hit it!", Lita exclaimed.
Serena and Darien were looking at each other as Serena stood at the
last step of the stairs. Walking up to her he smiled and held out his
hand to her. She took it and prepared to step down when she suddenly
tripped. Darien grabbed her before she fell and she blushed insanely.
"You look great Serena", He said still holding her.
"Thanks", She managed to croak out.
"Shall we?", He asked and held his arm out.
"Let's", She agreed taking it.
"Now that's the Serena we know", Zoicite said.
Before going into the ballroom Jedite nudged Darien.
"Smooth move Romeo", He complimented.
***************************************
A grand staircase led to a ballroom and as they prepared to enter,
a trumpet sounded their entrance and the guests looked up at the
stairway. Each guard had a princess on his shoulder as they walked
down. The crowd looked in admiration at the beauty of the princesses.
But as the Prince made his entrance they gasped at the girl beside
him. She was without a doubt the belle of the ball and not to mention
the Prince was linking arms with her! They made a grand couple, the
young woman with her golden tresses and sky blue eyes and the Prince
in a tuxedo that matched his coal black hair that went with his dark
blue eyes. Queen Gaia looked from her throne to see the two. Her son
had turned out to be a great looking man but who was the girl with him?
She seemed familiar and the name was on the tip of her tongue. It hit
her like a flash of lightning. Serena! Her little surrogate daughter
was a raving beauty and there she was right before our eyes. Ilene was
serving champagne when she saw the girl coming down and tried hard
not to faint as she realized it was her daughter! Ken, her husband
joined at the wall she leaned against.
"Could it be?", He asked in astonishment and she nodded.
"It's Serena", She whisper watching as the young girl walked up to
the queen in the arm of the Prince. Bowing before her the queen looked
into her eyes and saw the happiness of the young one. *Thank you*,
Serena thought to the queen and it seemed the queen heard her.
***************************************
"So how's it feel?", asked Darien as he stood by Serena.
"What do you mean?", Serena responded. "Do you mean being beautiful
or being the only commoner at this ball?" Looking up at him she smiled
and took his hand. "Thank you. I remember I used to watch these balls
from the kitchen and I wished so hard that I get to go to one. Now here
I am"
"You deserve it", He responded squeezing her hand. "I've never seen you
so beautiful"
"Doesn't matter", She said and her eyes turned serious. "As soon as this
over the makeup will come off and the dress will be gone. Then I'll be
same old plain Serena"
"You were never plain", Darien told her trying not to sound like
an idiot. "You just weren't concerned about how you looked or anything"
"Figures", She muttered.
"What?"
"You don't know jack about me", She said and turned her eyes to the
people dancing.
"Dance with me", He said and her eyes went wide.
"No...way...I..can't possibly", She stuttered and he grabbed her hands
pulling her to the floor. "Please don't make me do this!" A look of
panic swept her face as he put his hand to her waist. Darien took her
arms and wrapped one around his neck and he took other hand in his own.
"Don't...please...."
"It just me don't worry", He reassured which did not help at all.
*I'm trying not to look stupid!*, She thought to herself.
"Come on", He said."One..two..step...one...two...step to the right"
Serena started to move and gracefully at that! People watched them
smiling with approval specualting that the girl was a princess
from some other galaxy. A woman with red hair and dark eyes watched
the two in jealousy and rage. The music ended and she approached the
two.
"Hello your majesty", She said and bowed checking him out as did.
"You're looking well"
"Thank you Lady Beryl", He said graciously though he looked irratated.
"May I introduce my friend Serena" Beryl gazed at the girl with a cool,
apprasing look then turned around to look at Darien.
"If you'll excuse I'll be talking to Raye", Serena said and left before
Darien made her stay. Joining Raye they looked at all the people dancing
and their eyes finally traveled to Beryl draping herself all over the
Prince.
"Who is that all over my cousin?!", Raye said and crossed her arms.
"Oh no she isn't trying...!" Her voice trail off in anger. Beryl
suddenly left in a huff. "Okay Serena go ahead. He's all yours!"
Serena started to walk over when Lady Beryl appeared with a glass in
her hand in front of her. Her eyes seethed with anger and before Serena
could get out of her way, Beryl purposely pour her drink on Serena,
right down her dress. The cool liquid feeling didn't defrost the anger
building in Serena and the wine had stained the front of her dress.
"I know all about you", She said giving her a look. "You're just some
little girl trying to play princess. Well listen here. You'll never
part of the crowd and you'll never be royalty. I suggest you leave so
I can get you out of the way. Darien doesn't need a little twit hanging
all over him" They stood face to face though Beryl was a few inches
taller than Serena,their eyes locked in battle. "You gonna cry?" Serena
was willing herself not to.
"Thank you for reminding why I avoid people like you", Serena said
angrily through her teeth. With that she ran out of the room much to
the astonishment of everyone.
******************************
"Serena!", yelled Darien chasing Serena to the gardens and through the
woods. For a girl in a dress she could run fast, not to mention the
fact that the girl had heels on! Panting he keep on running until he
felt his chest would burst. As they reached the lake Serena seemed to
stumble and fall into the muddy shore, staining her white dress. As she
sat there her arms holding her up she didn't notice Darien standing
above. A thick silence fell between them and he too sat on the ground
messing up his tux. "Why did you run out like that? You shouldn't have
given her the benefit of the doubt seeing you leave like that"
Serena had not looked up from the ground and her breathing was still
hard. The lake shimmered in moonlight and the waves hit the shore.
"I promised myself...", She said trembling and trailed off. He put
his hand over hers.
"You promised yourself what?", He asked and touched her hair.
"I promised myself I wouldn't let anyone see me cry", She said and
looked up at him with tear stained cheeks. Her eyes were dry though
and the look in them was firm. "Letting them see me suffer would have
be worse"
"You believe keeping it in will work",he said to her. Before he could
be answered she stood up and began walking back. She sighed heavily.
"Just bring me home, Darien", She said in quiet but sad voice. He decided
it wasn't the time to argue. Walking next to her he put his jacket on
her bare shoulders and in silence they made their to the castle.
**********************************
"So what happened to her?", asked Ami. The group minus Serena who
was in her room, were all assembled in one of the rooms of the
palace.
"I tell you what happened", raged Raye pacing back and forth. "That
Beryl walked up to her and poured her drink down Serena's dress"
"Not to mention that she said some pretty mean things to Serena", Lita
fumed and punched her fist into other hand.
"Now calmed down", Zoicite said and they all agreed sitting on the floor.
"Why would someone do that to her?" All eyes looked at Darien who was
looking out the window at the crescent moon, deep in thought.
"Darien", called Malachite and he turned around abrubtly looking
at all the pair of eyes on him. "What did she asked?"
"Who? Beryl?",he asked in confusion."Oh well she just wanted to dance
and when I said no, she asked why. I said I wasn't in the mood and she
left"
"I get it", Jedite said. "She was jealous of Serena and the only way to
get revenge was to do something stupid like that"
"Why would she be jealous of Serena?", He asked in confusion and was
answered with eight exasperated faces looking at him. "What?!"
"Hello!", shouted Raye. Going up to him she began knocking on his
forehead. "Anyone there? Is it obvious to us only that you're in love
with Serena? I would have thought you had came to that idea already!
Geez!" Darien had not heard the rest, he only heard the words "in love"
and Serena...could he be? He had to find out.
**********************************
Serena couldn't sleep. Getting up from her small bed she walked to the
window. The moon shone over the Royal Gardens and something made her
compelled to go outside.It was like she was hypnotize. In only her
white nightgown she walked outside. The night was warm and it was
silent. The inactivty of her surroundings made her wary but she sat
on a bench and laid down.She touched the blades of grass suddenly
feeling tired.Serena closed her eyes and was soon passed out.
````````````````````````````````````````````````
"Serena", A voice called to her. It was a woman whose voice was filled
with sadness. Serena looked around and was surrounded by shambles of
fallen buildings. *Where am I?* The voice called to her. "I will help
you"
"Help me what?", She asked into the fallen city.
"Help you find yourself", The voice answered, it sounded light like
the wind. "You have felt alone, haven't you?"
"Yes", She simply reply.
"I am here to help. You are more than you think you are. You
play an imporatant part to the world"
"How can that be?", She yelled. "I'm just Serena, little maid girl"
"No you are not",the voice said firmly. "Look for your necklace"
"Huh?"
"Just look for it, Serena", It said. "You'll see what happens"
"You're going to wake up soon but you must remember this,it is
imporatant to your life"
"Wait", She yelled but fog began to spread around her eyes blinding
her sight. "Please! I need to know more!"
````````````````````````````````````````````````````
"Please...I need to know more....please", Serena mumbled in her
sleep."Please....PLEASE!" She was quickly jolted out of her
dream by someone shaking her.
"Serena wake up", Darien said and shook her. She was violently shaking
and covering her face."Wake up!"
Her eyes were squeezed and something that sounded like sobbing came
from her throat and he held her close. Her sweet scent filled his
nostrils and captivated him. Serena's hair was down but some was
matted with sweat and so was her body making her nightgown cling to
her.
"I'm alright", She said in a shaken voice though he didn't believe her.
Her eyes went to the moon and a sense of comfort swept through her.
Serena breathing calmed and realized Darien was there looking
at her panicked and concerned. Forcing a weak smiled she wiped her
sweaty hands on her nightgown. "Do you always follow girls into
gardens?"
"Well the ones that have nightmares in them", He said laughing softly
and sat next to her. Turning to her he realized they were face to face.
"Why did you come here?", She asked in hushed voice for their lips were
inches apart.
"I don't know", He said huskily ."To see if you alright...to get air...
to find something out"
"What?", whispered Serena and looked up at him. You could read it in
their eyes. They saw each other's desire and realized they had always
known that they loved each other more than they showed. Their lips met
in a soft kiss, so soft it was like kissing a delicate crystal. They
parted and Darien looked at Serena's face. He couldn't believed how
her eyes shined so brightly in the darkness. Darien kissed her again
but with more force and passion. His tongue went into her mouth and
she felt a shock go through her. *Whoa*, she thought. The night seem to
tremble just as Serena did in her love's kisses.
"What did you find out?", Serena asked as they parted and Darien had
cupped her chin in his hand.
"I found something that means more to me than anything on this
earth", He told her and she smiled at him almost in tears. She bowed
her head and then looked at him. Serena's tears were apparent now as
they fell from her blue eyes.
"What do you love?", She asked. "I'm not beautiful, Darien. What you
saw tonight was makeup and a pretty dress. The curls and the shine in
my hair is gone. It was an illusion. If you love the illusion than
please leave me alone"
"What I love is the girl who beat me up", He said and she laughed.
"The girl who knocked sense into whenever I was losing it, the girl
who ran barefoot into my arms when I came home" He traced her face
with his finger and touched her lips. "The girl who came down the
stairs was beautiful but what I love is the girl in front of my eyes
with no makeup and her hair straight. To me she's three times more
beautiful than the girl with makeup and curls. It's what's in here"
Pointing to her chest. "That I've fallen in love with"
For once Serena was speechless but regained her composure. The sun was
awakening from it's sweet sleep. Serena looked at Darien whose face
shone with pleasure. It was indeed a new day.
