Truth Be Told by Cat Woman CatWomanTM@aol.com Part 7 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I'd just like to apologize for the way the last chapter looked and for not having a chapter out last week, I've just been really busy. Thank you everyone who has sent me mail, I really do appreciate it! Right now, I don't know what I'm going to be doing. I have finals coming up in about 4-5 weeks (I really hate High School) so when that time comes, I don't know if I'll get any chapters out during that time, but I will try. Right now, I am not only TRYING to work on this stoyr (I really hate writters block), but I am also working on two other pieces that I'm typing and like two that I am literally writting. So, I'm kinda busy with that. Well, I'll let you enjoy the story. >GENERAL DISCLAIMERS AND COVERING OF THE REAR! Truth Be Told Cat Woman G I looked at him through a small hole between the Scouts. "Diamond!" I whispered in shock. The black crescent moon upon his forehead began to shine a little with a silver type accent to it. I ushed my way through the Scouts. "What are you doing here, Diamond?" I questioned. "This is Diamond?!" Raye asked a little surprised. "That's Prince Diamond to you! And as always it is pleasant to see you too my dearest Serenity!" he said, apparently trying to suck up. "That still doesn't answer my question! And I'm not your dearest anything!" I snapped. What was happening to me? I felt as if something were taking over me. "I was here, oddly enough to sign a Peace Treaty with Queen Serenity. Unfortunately, when I arrived about 5 or so hours ago, I found what you see now!" he finally answered. I didn't know why, but I believed him. "You are more than welcome to stay here in the palace until this you and I can get this treaty signed!" I offered. "What!?!? Serenity, are you out of your mind! He can't stay here! I don't trust him!" Lita protested. "What did you mean when you said...'you and I can get this treaty signed'? Where's Queen Serenity?" he asked. "My mother.....is dead! She was murdered on her way back here." I said as my heart sank. A feeling I knew all too well. "Do you know who did it!?!?" he questioned. "Yes, and he will be taken care of after I get his kingdom back to it's proper state of being!" I answered. "Now, if you'll excuse me.....I am going to go to bed!" I made my way past Diamond and out into the hallway closely followed by the Scouts. The next morning, I entered the Dining Hall rather early. I saw Amy, Raye, and Mina sitting at the table along with Prince Diamond. Lita came out carrying just a fraction of the wonderous meal she had prepared. "Hello Serenity!" Lita said rather cheerily. I looked at her, then, at everyone else. Everyone had smiles on their faces, except for Diamond that is. He looked rather angry. "Hello everyone!" I smiled and took a seat at the head of the table across from Diamond and between Raye and Mina. "So, what is everyone so cheery about this morning?" I asked rather annoyed that all they really did was smile at me . "You'll see!" Mina said. She was fooling around. I knew it! Just then, everyone except for Diamond and I stood and walked to the main door of the Dining Hall. "Are you ready for your surprise Princess?" Amy asked. "Yes, of course!" I answered. "Then stand!" Raye commanded. I stood and tried to prepare for what was in store for me. The Scouts opened the door. Seven figures stood in the doorway, but, because of the rising sunlight, I was unable to see just who they were. One of them stepped foreward. "You!" Diamond stood and yelled in shock. "By the Gods!" I said softly as I made my way around the corner of the table. It was Darien, the last guy I would expect to enter this kingdom unannounced was standing in the doorway along with six other people. I looked at them and almost immediately recognized just who they were. I bowed in respect. "Your Majesties!" I said politely to King Marcus and Queen Alexia who were standing just behind Darien. "Hello dear Princess!" Queen Alexia said rather happily. "Won't you all join us for breakfast, we were just about to begin!?" I offered hoping that they would accept. "We would love to!" King Marcus answered. Prince Diamond moved to another seat making room for the King and the Queen took the seat I formerly had. The other four figures standing in the doorway were revealed to be the Princes four generals, Malachite, Jedite, Zoicite, and Neflite. They all entered taking seats next to their loves, better know as my Scouts. Darien and I, of course, sat next to eack other. After breakfast, we all took a walk around the palace. By this time all the dead had been properly taken care of, the injured healed, and the others, returned to their lives. I walked hand in hand with Darien. We walked side by side with the King and Queen. The others walked behind us in pairs. I looked around wondering where Diamond ran off to. Darien dragged me over to the gardens and away from everyone else. "Where are we going?" I asked. A slight smile appearing on my face. Darien knelt down to the bed of white roses and picked one. He stood handing me the flower. I smelt the rose taking in its sweet scent. "Serenity, I have something to ask of you....." he began. I was unsure as of wether it would be good, or bad, but I took my chance and continued listening. Darien bent down on one knee. "My dearest Serenity, will you marry me?" ________________________________________________________________________ Boy are you people gonna kill me! This is where I have writters block! AAAHHH!!! I don't know what to do! Some of you tell me to have Serena get back at Darien, and so far, this is the first chance she gets. Others, are telling me to get them back together and fast! I'M SO CONFUS-ED!!!
