Okay. I admit, this one is short. But, thanks to the help from my friends at school and the encouragement from my drama teacher, I am now out of my writters block and typing away. Thank you, everyone, who continuously reads this and those of you who send me e-mail. I REALLY appreciate it. >GENERAL DISCLAIMER AND COVERING OF THE REAR CatWoman Truth Be Told - Part 8 G "My dearest Serenity, will you marry me?" I was speechless. A huge smile appeared on my face. "Of course I will! But, you do realize, of course, that you will have to pay for breaking my heart!?" "Of course!" He said as he stood and kissed me full on the lips. It was one of the most passionate kisses he and I had ever shared. It seemed to go on for an eternity and I enjoyed every living moment of it. When we at last separated all I saw was Diamond standing behind Darien looking absolutely furious. I stepped away from Darien and he turned and looked at Diamond. Out of nowhere, Diamond launched an energy ball that hit Darien directly in the stomach knocking him into me and sending us flying into a wall. I was immediately knocked unconscious from the force of Darien hitting me and me hitting the wall with such force. When I awoke, I found myself in a strange place. I was on a diamond shaped bed (Cat: Is that a dead give away or what?) covered with white silky sheets. The whole room, in fact, was covered in white. I stood and turned around. I saw Darien badly beaten chained up to the wall behind me. From what I could see, he was still bleeding. "I see you've awakened!?" a voice came from behind me and I immediately turned around not recognizing the voice. "Sapphire!?" I was shocked. I hadn't seen Sapphire in a few years. "What's going on here! Where am I?" I demanded. "My idiotic brother brought you here! He was outraged when Prince Darien proposed to you. Especially after all the trouble he went through to break the two of you up!" he said. "Diamond was at fault? But, why?" I asked. "He wants you. He has himself convinced that you are the only woman for him!" he answered. "Can you help me get Darien down.....please! I love him dearly and it breaks my heart to see him like this!" I pleaded with him. "Of course!" Sapphire and I walked over to where Darien was chained and let him down and I started crying. "Darien.....Darien, dearest, can you hear me? Are you awake?" a gently whispered trying to wake him up. ".....Serenity?" he weakly whispered in return. I smiled through my tears and kissed him on the head. "Thank the Gods you're still alive!" I said. "You two had better get out of here before Diamond comes!" Sapphire advised. "Moon Teleportation Power!" I softly shouted. Darien and I were enveloped in bright light and suddenly appeared in the throne room of the Moon Palace. I layed Darien down and walked to the throne. It was knocked down. "Something happened in here! I know it!" I whispered to myself. "After you had been knocked unconscious, Diamond sent shock waves throughout the palace trying to destroy it. But, luckily, your mother's protection spell is still lasting and going stong." Darien said. He was terribly out of breath and had been trying to stand. I ran to his side. "What of the Scouts?" I asked. I was worried. The Scouts were my freinds, my sisters even. They were what kept me sane. What helped me through the bad times and supported me through the good. "To the best of my knowledge, Diamond has them all!" he said collapsing on the floor. "What of your parents?" I asked looking around. Suddenly the door opened and I jumped up prepared to fight if I had to. Three figures stood there. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Okay, I hate my life.
