Title: In the Light of the Moon Author: Me....duh! E-mail: [email protected] (please e-mail me! I'm sooooo lonely <tears>) Rating: PG Chapter 2: New Beginnings ~~~~~~~~~~Serenity' POV~~~~~~~~~~ (noticeable enough?) The Earth was the most beautiful thing I had ever laid eyes upon. Not only was it beautiful from the Moon, but even up close it was beautiful. I was inside of a castle and seemed to be in a tower. For miles, I could clearly see the beautiful foliage which was covered in white. although the Moon had constant temperatures for the Earth year, the Earth had four seasons in which is rained, was extremely hot, snowed, or was cool and leaves fell off tress in various colors. This was all according to stories that I had heard from my mother when I was a child. But, from the acres of white I could see before me that very moment, I believed every word of it. "First time on Earth Serena?" Orphen asked, snapping me out of my amazement. "It's beautiful in the winter. At least, that's what I think. When I go have a talk with the King about your job, Starlight and you are free to do whatever you please." I gave a quick curtsy before I followed her and Starlight down the many stairs. I wandered through the halls, looking at all the paintings from under my hood. We all entered a room largely decorated in maroon. When Starlight placed the bag on the floor, I did the same. Orphen looked at us in silence for a few moments before walking to the door. She gripped the handle and turned back to us. "You're dismissed," she said, opening the door. We curtsied before leaving. As soon as the door had shut behind us, Starlight grabbed me and began running off to who-knows-where. But, I soon found out we were going to the servants' quarters. As soon as she walked into the room, I knew I was in the servants' quarters. A few of the other girls looked at us before leaving the room empty to us. I was tossed onto a bed like a forgotten toy, but I didn't notice because I was too busy looking around. By the time I had finished looking around I saw Starlight looking at me eagerly. "What?" I asked, hesitantly. She handed me a cream-colored turtleneck, light tan pants, and a dark tan jacket. I took off my cloak and changed quickly. Starlight smiled at me when I was done and shook her head. "What is it this time?" "Well, we need to cover that up," she replied, poking my crescent moon. Starlight opened up the night stand drawer and pulled out two Band- Aids. I shook my head and jumped onto the other side of the bed. "You can't put those on me," I said, moving a little farther away. "Why not?" Starlight asked, very confused. "Well, the crescent is a symbol of who I am. And, without it, I won't remember my past or where I'm from. I'll have to be given a memory. Luna told me a story once of a princess who hid her identity to love a man from a different world from hers. In order to do so, she covered up her sacred marking. They married, but the man was deceiving the wife. When the princess tried to return to her kingdom, she couldn't remember her past. She was left with an eternity of loneliness," I explained. "That's why I don't want to cover up my crescent." "Has that ever happened before?" "Well, no, but-" "Then it's settled," Starlight beamed. "I'll put the Band-Aids over your crescent and say you're my cousin. I'll give you your past back in a week or so. When it's safe, I'll take the Band-Aids off and you can go home!" I didn't say anything to that, but just stared at her with a little worry. Okay, a lot of worry. But, it wasn't for her, it was for me. 'What happens if I can't go back? What happens if I don't remember? What will happen to my kingdom?' I thought. "I don't think this is such a good idea," I answered. I could tell that I didn't have any in this matter because she already had the Band-Aids out. I just shook my head and turned to the window. It had begun to snow, but very lightly. "Besides, I think I can-" I never finshed because everything went black. There was a voice calling me and the world was shaking. When my eyes flew open, my cousin was shaking me and calling my name. "Sorry, Starlight," I said. "I must have dozed off. What time is it?" |
