Two Worlds

When he was about to indulge in her neck, a memory of them popped in his mind.

They were walking on the other side of the lake, holding hands.

\"Why must you always wait outside the palace walls for me? I believe I can handle myself quite well.\"

Endymion smiled at her and put his arm around her.

\"I know princess. But there are many dangers out in the forest, especially at now that its night. I can\'t let a beautiful creature such as yourself, be harmed, in any way.\"

The princess looked at him with blush in her face. She smiled and looked down.

Endymion let out a chuckle and leaned in on her.

\"Are we feeling a little nervous princess? A slight bit of...blush?\"

Princess Serenity looked at him in surprise. She brushed his arm off, closed her eyes, held her head high, and began to walk off angrily.

\"Well I never!\"

\"Princess! Hold on! Is thou mad at me?\" he smiled and tried to hold in his laughter.

She turned around and gave him a mean look.

\"Don\'t take that tone with me! Of all the-\"

Endymion dashed towards her and kissed her before she could say another word. Then he looked at her humbly.

\"Princess, I did not mean to offend you.\"

Serenity tried to hide her smile, but couldn\'t.

\"Well...you redeemed yourself quite well, I\'d say.\"

Endymion hugged her and whispered,

\"I love you, princess serenity. And I hope to fulfill your happiness.\"

Serenity gave him a grin.

\"Really?\"

\"Yes, really.\"

\"Well in that case, I want you to show me the stars. Show me what it is to just fly away, with out a care in the world.\"

Endymion smiled and kissed her crescent moon on her forehead.

\"Anything for you, my princess.\"

He put her arms on his shoulders, told her to hold on, and grabbed her by the waist. Then he took a big jump upwards, and before she knew it, they were gliding in the sky. Serenity was scared at the height they were at and clung to him tightly, like a baby koala to its mother. Endymion smiled and embraced her. He slowly and carefully turned her over, her stomach facing the ground. He then whispered softly into her ears.

\"I thought you wanted to see the stars? To see what it felt like to just fly away, did you not?\"

Serenity slowly started to relax and let her arms flow to the side, as if she was floating straight. She deep breathed slowly, in and out. The cool wind rushing through her body.

\"So...this is what it feels like...\"

After a few moments of gliding, he brought her back down to the ground where they were before, by the lake. Serenity took a few steps towards the lake and exhaled. She turned and stared at her prince. Endymion stared back at her lovingly. They walked towards each other, and held each other lovingly. Serenity looked up at him and sighed.

\"Never in my life, had I met anyone like you. I\'m so glad that I did.\"

\"I don\'t think I could ever be away from you for more than a night.\"

They kissed slowly and lay in the grass together, to stare at the stars.

(End memory)* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Endymion closed his eyes shut. He didn\'t want to see her as a vampire.
If she was turned, then the same smile of day would soon fade away, and she would be innocent no more. He let out a loud groan and pushed her away quickly. Serenity fell back by the hard push and stared in shock. Endymion turned around before she saw his face. He didn\'t want her to see his \"true self\". He was panting hard, he tried to calm himself. As his eyes and teeth went back to normal, he slowly turned around to face her. Serenity was still on the ground. He went towards her to help her up, and let out his hand. Serenity was facing the ground, she slapped his hand away. Endymion wasn\'t at all surprised at her reaction. Instead he took a step back and watched her stand up slowly. Serenity was brushing off the leaves and dirt of her dress when...
\"Serenity....I can\'t. No matter how much I try, I can\'t do it.\"

Serenity turned around, her back facing him. She was angry, of course. To survive he needed blood, which meant he had bitten before. But who had he bitten? Other women, no doubt.

\"Why?! Is it because I am not a commoner?! Because I am not just some \"girl\"?! You can bite everyone else, but not me!!\"

Endymion couldn\'t believe what she was saying! She talks as if a bite were a kiss!

\"Serenity you have to understand! Those girls meant nothing! And because they are nothing, I am able to drink from them!\"

Serenity turned around. She was furious!

\"OH?! So they WERE girls! Why can\'t you bite a man?!\"

\"What?!\"

Serenity squeezed her dress tightly!

\"Never mind! It is of no business to me whose blood you drink!!!!\"

Serenity turned around and started to walk away angrily.

\"Serenity wait! You-\"

\"No, no! You go on and keep biting other women! I don\'t care anymore!\"

Endymion started to walk towards her.

\"Serenity, you have it all wrong! Just because-\"

\"SILENCE!!!!\"

Endymion paused in his tracks. He never thought she would use that on him. To him, only selfish, spoiled, little brat-like princesses did that.

\"Well...\"

Serenity stopped walking and turned around.

\"Well what?!\"

\"Seems I have thought wrong of you.\"

\"Excuse me?!\"

\"Only a selfish princess would use a such a term.\"

Serenity\'s eyes widened.

\"HOW DARE YOU!!\"

\"Another example of what I have just interpreted.\"

Serenity\'s eyes filled with tears, and realized that he was right. She would never have said anything like that, not in a million years. But it was his fault! Why should she take all the blame!?

\"Well, it seems that I have thought wrong about you as well.\"

\"Oh princess, please, enlighten me.\" Endymion spoke sarcastically.

\"You are like every other highly minded prince who has shown his true colors.\"

\"My what?\"

\"Like any common prince, you show your kindness, your gentleness, and that you are unlike any other gentleman. Then when you have gotten what you\'ve wanted, you show that like other princes and disgusting men, all you desire is women. And the fact that you can toy with them as if they were dolls. Or should I say,\"nothing\", as you have said?\"


\"You\'ve twisted my words around!\"

\"I have not! I just so happen to pay a little more attention.\"

Endymion put his hands on at his hips and looked to the ground, impatiently.
Serenity turned back around and spoke with confidence.

\"Now, I see no further discussion is needed. I imply that you stay where you are and do not follow me. I know my way around the forest and can pretty much go my way home.\"

Endymion looked up and saw her begin to walk.

\"So what are you trying to imply, Princess?

Serenity stopped, she bowed her head and squinted her eyes tightly.

\"I am implying that....that....you no longer look for me...”

Endymion felt his heart sink to his stomach, and his hands tremble.
\"Oh...I see.\" he spoke in a low tone of voice. He cleared his throat and continued,

\"Should you need an escort?\"

Serenity desperately wanted to say yes, but she knew it would be a lot harder, on the both of them.

\"No...I shan\'t need one.\"

Endymion made his hands into fists. He was furious!
Serenity didn\'t know what to do now. She straightened herself and began to walk away slowly.

\"Goodbye...Prince Endymion...\"
