When Destiny Calls
A love at first sight

Prologue

I know I've posted others, but this is my first attempt at a
fanfic, and I had to change afew things, so it took longer to get
out, hope you like it! And as always, PLEEZ R+R!

( Insert standard disclaimer): I don't don't own sailor moon
etc.

Background info:

1 The story takes place during the Silver Millennium, before
Princess Serena and Prince Darien meet. The negaverse does not
exist in this story.

2 The royal family of the moon still has the crescent moon
on their forehead, but they can disguise themselves by making it
disappear and reappear at their will, however, if they get too
emotional while disguised, they lose control, causing the mark to
appear on its own.

3 The Earth and the Moon Kingdom have been at war for
centuries. (AN: My friend told me this was actually true for the
series, but I never saw it referenced or anything, so anyway, I
say, They are! At least for this story.....)No one alive can
remember a time when there hasn't been fighting.

4 Serena is 18 years old. Darien is 21.

Chapter 1- The Princess Prisoner



A few days ago Princess Serena left for Earth. No one knows
why especially since the friction between Earth and the Moon was
at the highest it had been for years. She was captured by
soldiers and is just being thrown into her cell as the story
begins.

* At least I'm disguised, so they won't know who I am or
where I came from. Why did I HAVE to go into the same building
thieves were hiding in anyway? *

"Ooo we have a pretty one do we?" The guard taunted as he
followed her into the cell. Serena knew what the guard was after.
It was what all Lunarians had been taught: All Earthlings are
sick-minded, nasty beings. They have no respect for others
feelings. Serena never liked wars, especially when she was in
them, but she did believe the generalization to be true.

The guard backed her up into the corner and tried to kiss
her; she turned away.

* No way pal! *

"A feisty one eh? I'm going to have some fun with you!" He
grabbed her chin and pulled it towards him while putting the
other hand over her breast. She wanted no part of this, and
slapped him across the face as hard as she possibly could. He
took a step back, then smiled.

"The cat has claws. I like it. Hows about you and me right
here, right now!"

-footsteps-

He grabbed her shoulders and was about to rip her dress off.

"Get your hands off her!" A voice called down from the
stairway.

* Thank god! Who knows what that thug would have done to
me!*

The guard recognized the voice immediately and did as told.
"What do you think you were doing?" the source of the voice
stepped into the room. Serena figured it was the chief guard or
something.

"Aw, come on," the guard replied. "What's the fun of keeping
female prisoners if you can't have a little fun with them?"

The stranger looked at him thoughtfully, then eyed the
prisoner. Serena had no expression, she didn't know whether he
was going to help or not. Soon her question was answered.

"Perhaps you're right. Let her clean up later, then bring
her to my room."

Serena's poker face turned into a scowl. The guard left the
cell, and locked the door.

* Of course. It figures the prince would always get the
good ones! *




-footsteps-

Two new guards grab Serena by the arms and drag her up to
two large doors. They open them, and push her in.
-running water-


"You have 10 minutes."

She looks around. Inside is a hot spring with a pool of hot
water and a bathrobe hanging from a rock. No one is there, so she
ties her hair up, undresses and gets in.

* I doubt all the prisoners get this kind of attention *

"I might as well enjoy this," she says out loud to herself.
"It won't last long."

She takes the water and washes herself off, then relaxes for
awhile.

"I should get dressed before the guards come back."

She takes the robe off the rock and examines it.

"My dress would cover more, but I have worn it for the past
three days, and now it smells like that awful guard."

She put the robe on and let her hair back down into the
typical spaghetti and meatball style that her mother wore as
well. She looks at her reflection and sighs.

* Look on the bright side Serena, it could have been the
guard, at least the other guy was really cute *

-door opening-

The guard from before was back, and he took her up to
another pair of doors. Again she was pushed, this time she fell.
The stranger was lying down on the bed reading something, but
looked up. The guards eyes were on Serena, and an evil smile
appeared on his face, for from his angle she had fallen in a
rather revealing position. She quickly covered up.

* You meant to do that didn't you? *

The man on the bed signaled for him to leave. The guard took
one last look at Serena glaring up at him, then turned to the
other person.

"Good luck," he said, and closed the door.

Serena's glare turned to the other person in the room.

* You're going to need it! *

The lusty look he was giving her vanished as soon as the
guard had left the room. He went back to his reading.

Serena's look softened. * This is odd *

The stranger finished the page he was on, closed the book
and stood up.

Serena hadn't bothered to get up, and now with him standing
over her, the glare changed into a look of pure terror as she
backed up into the wall. He reached out his hand to help her up.

"I'm not going to do anything to you."
