Hi Guys! Sorry for the lack of updates. It's hard to find time to write for pleasure, instead of writing for school. But anyways, here's my update! Thanks for being patient! BTW, it's rated R. Just a warning.

Hearing the lock snap into place, Serena was startled out of her confused daze. Running to the door, she yanked and pulled at the knob. Finding it impossible to budge, she resorted to banging on the door and pleading.

"Please! Somebody help me! Let me out! Let me out! I want to go home!" She collapsed against the door and slid onto the floor.

"It wasn't me…" she whispered dejectedly. "I'm not Serenity. I'm Serena... I'm not a bad person…I'm not…" she murmured as tears slowly trailed down her cheeks.

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

Just outside the door, Endymion gave a heavy sigh as he thought about facing the others and their questions.

Entering the drawing room, he was immediately bombarded with questions and concerns.

"Well Endy!" Rei uncontrollably yelled. "Is she really Serenity? If she is, why would you bring her back here?"

Jaedite turned toward his wife and pleaded, "calm down Rei. Let Endymion—"

"Calm down! You want me to calm down!" Rei interrupted. "How can I calm down when the woman who's responsible for…for…when she's in my house under my roof?"

Across the room next to the sofa that lay his pale and very pregnant wife, Malachite was gently stroking Mina's large tummy as both stared questioningly at Endymion.

Endymion called out, "Everybody listen now and listen carefully. The woman upstairs is indeed Serenity. He raised his hand to signal for no interruptions and continued, "I've brought her here tonight to stay with us. The reasons are mine and mien alone, and I expect no interferences from you all. I will tell you this though…a thousand years ago I swore I'd get revenge for you Rei, for me, for all of us. Now it's time. It's going to happen. I'm going to trust in you my friends to trust in me and what I have planned to do to…her," Endymion spat out the last word in such revulsion that even Rei gave a little shudder of fright at the unknown future.

"I understand Endy" Rei quietly and somberly replied with bright tears in her eyes.

Endy walked up to Rei and lowered his head, "I love you Rei. I'll always be there for you. I know this is tough for you, but you need to trust in."

Rei looked up at her older brother and said, "I do trust you. And I love you too Endy" she proceeded to give him a hug.

Moments later, with Malachite assisting a pale Mina up to their bedroom and Rei out seeking Lita in the kitchen, Jaedite approached Endymion "Endy, tell me what you have planned."

Endymion stared into Jaedite's eyes and stated calmly and coldly, "I intend to break her" and proceeded out the door, leaving Jaedite wide eyed at the implications.

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

Meanwhile, as Endymion was explaining away to his family downstairs, Serena had dejectedly and miserably crawled towards the large bed.

Collapsing on the pristine white sheets, she started up at the canopy cover with a dazed expression. 'How can this be happening to me?' she wondered. 'I've never ever done anything bad to anyone. Not even to Mr. Strom. I never even reported him all those times when he harassed me and tried to...tried too…' Serena took in a large shuddering breath.

'All my life I've suffered and suffered. First the orphanage, then Mr. Strom, work, money problems…, why can't anything every change? Don't I deserve a break God!' she implored. I've always appreciated what little I had, but…but it's so unfair,' she sniffed, closing her eyes at the rush of tears she could feel coming. "All I ever wanted tow as to be loved…" she whispered as sleep slowly took her away to the land of dreams, hopes, and occasionally nightmares.

As the sun was slowly emerging from the East side of the trees, baby birds could be heard chirping for their mothers' and their breakfasts. Roses and flowers alike began to open their petals welcoming the rays of the new day.

Serena, deeply burrowed in a mound of blankets, was oblivious to it all, for she was lost in her favorite dream. A dream of a romantic prince charming come to save her from the wicked dragon, who so happened to resemble the fat and pudgy Mr. Strom.

----------------Dream

Serena fearfully and trembling backed away step by step, closer and closer to the edge of the cliff. She could taste the salt of the ocean in the air. Hundreds and hundreds of feet behind and below her, white waves crashed along the side of the mountain. Protruding from the waters were dangerous looking rocks, spear like in appearance.

"Stay away from me you monster! Don't get any closer!" Serena, with fake bravado, shouted at the monstrous beast. Inwardly she was praying, "Somebody please save me!"

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

Growing up in the orphanage, with no friends or family, Serena had often enjoyed day dreaming. To ease the loneliness surrounding her heart, she would often make up wondrous stories where she'd be rescued by a hero come to take her away from all the miseries in her life. Unbeknownst to her, today's morning dream would not be one of her usual ones…

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

Coming from far in the distance, Serena could hear a type of clapping and stamping. Straining her eyes to see, she realized it was a man. A man on a horse, galloping his way towards her and the beast. In her heart she knew it was him. The man who would love her for all eternity.

Closer and closer he rode, until Serena could discern every feature of his heavenly face. Black blue hair as dark as midnight adorned his head. Eyes that were piercing it seems like they could see into her very soul. His mouth, so sensuous that it would rival those of the most handsomest gods. His jaw and structure, so strong and bold, Serena could tell it reflected his physical strength too.

The knight jumped off the ground and shouted, "Fear not. I have come to rescue you and take you away from this place. You will be my lady love, my wife, and I will always be there for you." With that said, the knight picked up his sword and challenged the beast.

Serena watched from the side, hands to her heart, aching of fear for the man. He is so strong, so brave, she thought as she watched the knight attack and vanquish the beast.

The task done, he approached her slowly, his eyes capturing hers. Standing right in front of her, he slowly grabbed her hips to bring her closer to him. "A kiss" he requested. "A kiss from this beautiful lady is what I seek," as he lowered his head towards hers. His mouth gently breathed across her lips, like the softness of a rose petal. With one hand on her hip, he pulled her bodily up against him. The other hand, slowly pressed behind her head, helped deepen their kiss. The knight gently coaxed her into opening her mouth a little for him. With a helpless moan, she allowed him to thrust his tongue into her mouth. His tongue lovingly lapped against hers, in a form of love. Thrusting into her mouth, his hips began to imitate his actions against her own. Moaning, Serena allowed him to drag her onto the moss covered cliffs where he continued to ravage her. The knight, covering her body, slowly pinned her arms above her head, and proceeded to mate with her tongue. With his clothed body moving against her own, Serena ripped her lips away from his and started tossing her head side to side from the thrusting movements he was ministering to her lower body. With eyes closed, moaning aloud, she allowed the knight to separate her legs a little for better access. The knight, gripping her wrists above her head, lowered his head toward her neck and began suckling at the revealed skin from her shirt, while deliciously rubbing against her. Lost in passion, Serena did not realize that the grip on her wrists was not only getting even more and more painful, but that the knight had removed one hand and had lowered his pants. Moaning aloud, Serena panted out loud in a storm of passion. The knight, slowly raised Serena's skirt and allowed his hand to travel and explore her area of sacredness. With deft fingers, the knight leisurely rubbed against her, and groaned aloud at his findings. Hearing his groan, Serena was shaken out of her fervor and the cloud of haziness that is often experienced in passion, was cleared away.

Finding her arms relentlessly and bruisingly imprisoned above her, with stark horror she looked down to find her knight in a most dangerous position. Struggling to free herself, the knight took his mouth away from her reddened breasts and lifted his head to gaze down at her. Serena caught her breath, for staring down at her was not her knight indeed. The dark blue hair was instead replaced by one so white the sky would envy. Piercing sea blue eyes were instead filled with icy blue. The sensuous lips of her knight were replaced by lips so cold and cruel, the smirking features made her heart bleed.

"Noo!" she screamed and struggled wildly, but in vain.'Who is he?' her mind shouted.'Oh God somebody help me!'

The knight pinned her down with his body. "You're too late" he whispered against her ear. "You're mine now" he breathed out. Grabbing her delicate hips in his merciless hands, relishing in her wide eyed look of horror, he jerked her toward him as he thrust down in a stab of pain and torture.

"Noooo!" she bawled out to the heavens above. But it was too late. The deed was done.

Yikes. I have a pretty good idea where my fic's storyline is going. But please give me some of your tips and advice in your reviews. I'd greatly appreciate any help! Thanks!
