Chapter 03 : Meeting you at midnight

Serena walked home grinning away ... her first kiss ... 'with such a charming young man !'. Her daydreaming continued until she knocked on the tree in front of her house. As she fell, Ilene came running out and scolded Serena for being so careless

-"I'm sorry mum" was the only answer Serena would give

That evening, as Ken, Phoebe and Isabelle were back home, Serena had help her mother prepare dinner.

-"So, Serena, what time did you finally wake up ? " asked Phoebe jokingly

-"I'm not quite sure" Serena answered back blushing

-"You must have been dreaming of your prince charming ... whoever he is" Isabelle told her

-"MY BABY'S TOO YOUNG FOR THESE NONSENSE !!!!" Ken shrieked out

-"Daddy, I'm nearly 18 you know !" Serena answered exasperated by her father's over-protectiveness

-"WHAT, YOU ARE SEEING A BOY WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE" Ken was fuming ready to explode at any time

-"Errrr ..... no Daddy" Serena started

-"Then WHAT young lady?" Ken asked her as if threatening her

-"I was just telling that after all, I could find someone to date if I wanted ... like my other two sisters." Serena stated and continued "Why is it that you let them do whatever they want and keep an eye only on me. Don't you trust me dad ?"

Ken calm down to Serena's last comments... but did not answer back

-"Is that it Daddy ?" Serena asked

-"What ?" Ken answered back

-"You DON'T TRUST ME !!" Serena was crying

-"Baby, you know I do trust you" Ken was melting. He could not bare see his Serena in tears...

Phoebe resented this quite a lot as she always wished to have her father's approval. Whenever he was to agree with anyone ... it had to be with the adopted sister Serena.

How many times, especially with they were at a younger age, Phoebe nearly told Serena she was not their sister ... how many times it was itching her to do so ... how many times Isabelle intervened and calmed things down...

At the end of dinner Serena helped her mother to clear up the table. Even then, she was lost in her thoughts.

-" Serena pass me the plates !" Ilene shouted

-"WHAT !" Serena shrieked

-"What's the matter with you Serena ?" Ilene asked her softly "You're really weird these last few days"

Serena looked at her mother for a long time and told her that she was really tired

-"Ok Serena, go to bed"

Serena sighed and went to the bathroom to change. As she came out, she came face to face with Isabelle.

-"Serena, a you sure you're alright?" she asked her

Serena hesitated a moment before telling

-"I don't know Isabelle"

-"You wanna talk about it ?" Serena nodded and Isabelle added "Come let's go into my room"

After following Isabelle, Serena closed the door behind her.

-"Isabelle, how do you know you're in love?" Serena asked her

-"Well, I guess you just know! You've met someone haven't you ?"

-"Yes, no, errr ..." Serena was blushing

-"Rena, do I know this person ?"

-"I don't know, don't think so. His name's Darien" Serena was dreamily telling his name

-"Never heard of him and god knows everyone knows everyone in the region" Isabelle exclaimed.

-"I'm meeting him tonight" Serena said carefully

-"WHAT !!!!!!" Isabelle screamed out loudly

-"Shhhhh! Please Belle, you got to cover me up on this" Serena told her with a puppy look face

-"Are you alright Isabelle ?" Phoebe came in worried

-"I'm fine" Isabelle answered uneasy

-"Are you sure ?" Phoebe asked her before realizing that Serena was also in the room "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in bed ?"

-"I'm going now" she answered. "Good night Phoebe, good night Belle"

With that, Serena ran to her room praying Isabelle would not tell anything

-"What the hell happened here" Phoebe asked Isabelle

-"Nothing really" Isabelle tried to laugh

-"Your hiding something !" Phoebe said angrily

-"Don't be silly !" Isabelle answered

-"FINE !" Phoebe was hurt and left Isabelle

'Sorry Phoebe, I can't tell you anything on this ... you'll tell our parents for sure' Isabelle was sad having to hide this from Phoebe but there was no choice.


Nearly midnight ....

'I hope Isabelle won't sneak out to anyone... I know I can trust her'

Serena opened her windows and jumped out. 'It's a good thing to have a one story house'

She ran thought the dark woods. She was scared as she's never been at night out alone. She reached her destination at last. To her surprise, he was there...waiting for her. They kissed gently.

-"I'm glad you came" he told her between kisses

-"I'm glad too" Serena giggled "I was afraid I would not have been able to make it"

-"Come here Serena, I have a surprise for you" Darien told her

To her amazement, Darien had laid a large tablecloth with food and wine, and candles all around

-"This is so romantic Darien !" she told him in delight

After eating and drinking... the mood softened quite a bit. The two of them were lying down. Serena was in Darien's arms looking at the stars and the two of them were enjoying each other's company.

-"My parents always told me, or I should say they believed that I'll fall in love with the moon princess, that I'll love her as soon as I set my eyes on her... they were terribly wrong !" Darien said out of the blue.

-"What do you mean ?" Serena asked Darien out of curiosity

-"Some kind of stupid prophecy... I've already fallen in love and even though she's not the moon princess, she's a PRINCESS alright" Darien emphasized.

-"Oh!" Serena was nearly in tears. 'He's been playing with me all along'

-"You are the princess of my heart Serena. The one I love and adore" Darien continued

-"Oh Darien ! I love you so much as well." Serena was now grinning away. And then she stood up, put a very serious look on her face and added mischievously "What makes you think that I'm not the moon princess in disguise ?"

-"That's very simple sweetheart, the moon family has been murdered"

-"Oh" Serena answered a little uneasy

-"It's okay, you did not know"

'What's all this' Serena was having flashes that was so unclear ... a place she did not recall, nor the people... 'everything's so blurred'

Next moment Serena fainted but luckily Darien caught her in his arms before she fell.
