Duckie's corner: I know it has been a long time since I've updated. I just graduated two weeks ago, and had AP classes/exams to worry about, and now I'm just filling out numerous applications and what not. So I'm sorry to all my dedicated readers. I almost dropped this story because I had writer's block for so long. I tried making this chapter longer, so I'm sorry if it's still kind of short. Thank you to all those who have reviewed, you guys make me feel inspired. - Anyway, please enjoy chapter 17 of Secrets of the Unknown.

Chapter 17: What stays is my word.

Endymion paced the room. Thinking back on it, out of his generals, nephrite always seemed to be the craziest one. That's when the idea came to him to get in contact with his other generals to see if they had remained loyal to his crown. Kunzite, Zoisite, and Jaedite, had not kept in well contact, so there could be the chance that they already sided with nephrite.

Elsewhere:

Serenity blew the bangs out of her face as she sighed again in her 'prison'. 'what the hell, I swear I am going to make Endymion regret the day he met me.'

A servant of Nephrite, a hideous creation of burned leather and some pink glob, brought her water and bread through out the day, though she remained cautious when eating and drinking, she didn't trust that lustful eye that the servant gave her. She remained cautious of everything happening in and outside the room.

The door opened to reveal that same hideous monster bringing her a wash bin full of water, a bar of soap, a towel, and a new dress.

"The master wants you presentable." The monster hauked out.

"Well you can tell your 'master' I said he can go screw himself, I refuse to wear something of his choosing". Serenity bit out, pissed off that she was having to go through this.

"He said you might say that, and he also said you can go naked if you choose not to wear this." The monster started cackling while eyeing Serenity up.

Shuddering in disgust, Serenity grabbed the materials and waited til she heard the door lock as the monster left to clean herself up.

"Damn arrogant bastard…" Serenity murmured as she finished cleaning herself and changed into the new clothes….. The dress was a creamy off white that looked like a bride's gown, but at least she felt clean now. She took the chance to wash her face from the dirt that had gotten there, and to feel slightly cleaner.

After making sure that everything was in order, Serenity sat and waited, until she was called upon.

Back to Endymion:

Endymion stood at his table in his dining hall with what was left his his generals. They all had changed so much that it was difficult to believe he'd known them since he was a little child.

"The news I bring is of Nephrite, the fourth general." Endymion started out, taking a deap breath as he critically watched the reactions of each general.

"What happened?" Zoicite asked, complete confusion marred his features.

"Nephrite has betrayed the crown, and is rising an army to go against me." Endymion stated in a cold voice, watching each of his remaining general's faces grow dark and serious.

"We are needing to put an army together." Kunzite stated, already putting plans together in his head.

"Yes." Enymion nodded at Kunzite. "The Elfen king, Fiore, has decided to ally us in this battle."

"King Fiore?" Jaedite looked surprised. "The elves have many healing powers, but what about the wolves? They can tear flesh. Didn't you say that Saiya, the King of wolves is in your debt?"

Kunzite sat silent a moment before responding. "We need as many people possible for this war. The Question is, will the wolves willingly fight with the elves?"

Endymion sat there, formulating plans as each suggestion was made. "Yes, because King Saiya owes me his life. To refuse would be breaking our agreement, meaning his entire kingdom would belong to me."

"My lord, shall we call upon King Saiya?" Zoicite asked, looking at each of the other's faces.

"Yes. Zoicite, bring King Saiya." Endymion ordered , then turned to Jaedite, "Jaedite, I need you to bring King Fiore, I am calling the council, this is a war that we shall win."

"Yes my lord." Both Zoicite and Jaedite bowed to Endymion before disappearing off to their missions.

Endymion turned to Kunzite his remaining general. "I ask for your aid on plans to create this army."

"Yes my lord." Kunzite stated, bowing also.

"This shall be the war of the century." Endymion murumured off looking out at the night sky.

Elsewhere:

Serenity followed another one of Nephrite's servants, this one was looked like it was made out of a sponge material, and it was green and blue.

As Serenity followed she tried thinking of ways to escape, but right when she was about to run, the monster would turn back to her and smile eerily. It made her shudder in revulsion.

Finally they arrived into a big room, where Nephrite sat at the far corner in a fancy looking chair.

"Your majesty, I have brought the woman." The monster cackled out in the most respectful voice.

"Step aside." Nephrite ordered.

The Monster stepped aside and Serenity glared at Nephrite with all she could, wishing that with just a glare he'd turn into flames.

"Come forward Serenity." Nephrite practically purred.

Serenity was officially pissed, she'd rather kick him where the sun don't shine, but then again, that probably wouldn't be a good idea, considering his army surrounded her. She walked forward, glaring at Nephrite the entire time, trying to make him turn into flames.

Nephrite stood, and took her hand, pulling her to him and wrapping her in an embrace.

'you damn bastard..' Serenity thought.

"This, my minions, will be the new queen of the Vampires, with me as king!" Nephrite announced as there were cheers around them.

'Dear gods…Endymion…where are you?' Serenity thought.

A/N: I do not know if this story will finish, but I am trying. :Hugs all readers: thank you guys.
