"No, p-please...no, " I muttered worriedly as I shrank further back into the dark corner, hoping to disappear. "No, please...not a-again..." I squeaked weakly, fearing the worst as the shadow continued to advance towards my crumpled body on the dark, cold, hard wooden floor. My head was spinning and my wrists hurt, I could still feel the pain from last time...the ever throbbing pain...

"NO!!" I shrieked as the shadowy figure stood in front of me and held a wet rag to my mouth, feeling my head spin with dizziness, my vision blackened and I closed my eyes...knowing...already knowing...what would happen next...

----------------------------

Bolting out of bed with a searing pain shooting throughout her body, Serena made her way to her bathroom, breathing heavily she dropped down next to the toilet bowl and emptied her stomach of what little nourishment had been there.

After several minutes of dizzy, painful, sickness Serena slowly stood back up and slouched tiredly as she washed her mouth out in the sink and took some heavy painkillers. Pulling herself back to her room, Serena curled up into a fetal position on her bed, still quite shaken and looked up at the bright pure moon. "Please...stop my torment..." she prayed quietly as she uneasily fell back to sleep, shivering every few minutes, knowing she could never escape the torture...

----------------------------

Opening my eyes I find myself standing alone in a huge ballroom. Where am I? This isn't like my usual 'dreams' I wonder as I glance around at all the young couples. Looking down, I gasp in surprised delight noticing I'm wearing a beautiful white silk dress with an elegant golden design covering the bodice and the bottom belling out like that of a princesses. I hear the melody of a sweet and familiar song, as I listen more closely I hear the beautiful enchanting words...

---Deep in my soul
Love so strong
It takes control

Now we both know
The secrets bared
The feelings show---

 

"Princess, may I have this dance?" I hear as a tall masked man in a tuxedo with jet-black hair and deep cobalt blue eyes walks over to me and takes my hand lightly in his. I have no clue of where I am and try to ask the handsome man in front of me but I can't. I try to speak, but seem to not be able to and I hear myself answer.

"Why, of course!" my voice says with a slight hint of a smile. I watch intently as I take the young mans hand and he leads me into the center of the room. What's going on? I can't talk or move on my own! I worry in my thoughts ...I didn't say that and I didn't take this mans hand! I try to pull away but can't. Dancing with this young man my mind wanders... Who is he? Where I am? Why did he call me 'Princess'? Spinning around the room gracefully I suddenly remember. I don't even know how to dance! But my mind just pushes the thought away and I hear the lovely song swimming in my head as I glide spectacularly across the dance floor in the arms of this mysterious masked man...

---There will come a day
Somewhere far away
In your arms I'll stay
My Only Love

You've reached the deepest part
Of the secret in my heart
I've known it from the start
My Only Love

There will come a day
Somewhere far away
In your arms I'll stay
My Only Love

My Only Love!---

"Princess, it is late. I must leave you now, but I'm sure we will meet again soon..." The handsome masked man said to me as the last few notes of the song died away and he turned to leave.

"Wait!" I heard myself call to him, following him to the balcony. "Wait, who are you?" I heard myself ask as he turned to face me. "Please, tell me who you are!"

"Princess Serenity my sweet...I am Endymion, Prince Endymion of Earth. Now, I must go but I promise you, we will meet again soon!" the Prince said to me as he kissed my cheek and left me standing there alone, under the dark nighttime sky.
Suddenly I feel the power of a whirling sensation filling my body as my vision blurs and begins to spin...

------------------------------

"Remember when
I was in
the grocery store
now's my time

lost the words
lost the nerve
lost the girl
left the line

I would wish
upon a star
but that star
it doesn't shine

so read my book
with a boring ending
a short story of a lonely guy
who fell behind"

Jolted awake by the lyrics of her favorite song, Serena found herself sitting up in bed. Shaking her head, she turned to her nightstand and was met by the glaring red numbers on her alarm clock telling her it was nine thirty in the morning.

"Oh no! I'm late for work!" she screamed as she coughed and almost flew out of bed and onto her feet. Instantly feeling dizzy, Serena's vision began to blur and spin before turning completely black. Falling back onto her bed, Serena waited for her vision to clear while her head continued to pound violently in her head.

After resting in her bed for a bit, Serena picked up her bedside phone and dialed her secretary's number.

"MoonBeam Title Agency! How may I help you?" Serena heard Molly, her secretary, answer happily.

"Hi Molly, It's Serena -"

"Serena where are you?! You've missed three appointments already and that Beryl lady is here again!" Molly cut her off.

"Molly, I'm sick today and won't be coming in. Please reschedule all of my appointments for the day and apologize to our customers...And please have security escort Beryl out of the building."

"Of Course Serena, are you going to be ok?" Molly asked her friend worriedly, Serena never missed work! She never got sick either!

"Yes, I'll be fine. Just need some quiet and a bit of rest."

"Alright, you get better Serena!"

"I will, and thanks Moll!" Serena said gratefully as she hung the phone up.

Laying back down, Serena closed her eyes and fell soundly asleep.

----------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later, Serena heard a far off sound. Waking up, she recognized the sound to be the ringing of her cell phone. Reaching down to the floor where her purse was, Serena searched for her phone. Picking it up she sighed and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Sere!" She heard one of her best friends, Lita, say cheerfully. "You wanna go out to lunch? It's on me!"

"Ummm...I'm not at work..."

"Sere, are you ok?" Lita asked worriedly.

"Yeah, just a little cold ya know? I got stuck out in the rain yesterday. Stupid me forgot my coat and umbrella." Well, at least it's a half-truth instead of a full-blown lie…

"Oh. Well, so much for lunch, The girls will all be disappointed. But hey, I'll bring over some soup for ya! It'll help ya!"

"Alright thanks Lita!" Serena said as she heard the click from the other line. Putting the phone down she climbed out of bed, feeling a bit better. Taking a quick shower and eating a bit of food, Serena cleaned up her apartment a bit before taking a few aspirin and sitting down to watch TV while she waited for Lita to show up.
