Stealing an Angel

Reflection

Endymion walked through the halls of his palace with thoughts of an angel dancing in his head. He had gone every night for weeks to watch her on her nightly outings. He would stand in a tree from afar and watch her. She would just stand there looking out over the lake and up at the sky as if she were about to fly away. Deep in thought he bumped into a slender figure and was awaken from his reverie. Looking to see who he had ran into he seen his sister looking at him with concerned eyes.

"Endy, are you alright brother?" Rei asked, "You have not been yourself, and we are all worriedm but especially me." She took his hands in hers and held them to her heart as she spoke."I am your sister. I love you. Please, talk to me. You used to tell me everything." Rei looked down at the floor only to have his hand lift her face to look him in the eyes.

"Dear sister, do not worry for me. I am fine," he reasoned with her. "I am simply eager to bring home my queen."

"Endy, are you sure she is the one? You don't even know her."

"Rei, where you not sure the first time you met Jed? The very sight of her warms my cold heart."

The saddened look in his eyes pulled at her heart. It was true. The very first time she saw Jedite she knew she was in love. For a while she quarrelled with him, played hard to get, but it was always only him. They had been together a hundred years now, yet it seemed like it wasn't suddenly felt happy and secure that her brother had finally felt what they all had found; love.

As the night grew, Endymion took off on his nightly outings to watch his angel. She had not been out much recently to his dismay. Her father must be making her stay in some, he thought. Coming to her usual spot near the lake, he seen her in the distance. There she was, dressed all in white like an angel. "His" angel. She seemed to glow in the light of the moon, like a goddess. Taking a place in a nearby tree, he sat watching her intently, planning when he would take her.

Present

Coming to the edge of the lake she stopped and began to look out over the lake into the fog. Thoughts flooded her mind of a mysterious man sweeping her off her feet. A shiver ran over her had the strangest feeling that someone was watching her. Little did she know she was right.

'So, she senses my presence. Don't worry my angel, I shall sweep you off your feet, all in due time.'

Shivers ran over her body, and she clutched her jacket around her. She abruptly turned around sensing someone behind her. To her suprise she seen a dark figure in front of her. His ebony hair blew in the wind, and his eyes sparkled a brilliant midnight in the light of the moon. She couldn't help but to look over the man in front of her and marvel to herself at how stunning he was. 'Who is he? And what is he doing here in the forrest at night? Where did he come from? He looks as if he wants to devour me.'

The man took a step closer to her with an evil grin, and leaning foward he spoke seductively in her ear, "Yes, I could just eat you up." He stood back and enjoyed the shocked expression on the young womans face. Reaching a cool hand up to caress her cheek he spoke softly," I am Endymion, and I own these forrests. My palace is just on the other side of the mountain, and I am here waiting for you Serenity." He smiled seductively at her. She truely was emaculant.

Serenity's skin grew heated from his touch, and she felt a blush come on to her face. She couldnot believe what he was saying. 'Waiting for me?' Serenity began to feel panic rise within her, but she found herself trapped in his eyes. They were so lustful and wanting. She felt as if they were pulling her in. She found herself unconciously taking a step closer to this man called Endymion. 'Endymion.' The name lingered in her mind as he spoke again.

"Yes, waiting for you. I have waited a hundreds of years to find you. To find the woman that could make my cold heart beat with love for another person. For an angel, like you," he said as he took a step closer slowly reaching to touch her cheek again.

Serenity took a cautious step back away from the stranger in front of her. She couldn't believe what he was saying. 'Hundreds of years? That is ridiculous' That would make him.'

Her thoughts were interupted as he finished her sentence," Nine hundred and twenty one years old the be exact." He looked at her with amusement. The look of her eyes when he told her his age was quite funny." I am not of this world," he spoke calmly as he circled her,"I am of another. A dark world. The world I am from has no beauty such as you. You intrigue me with your beauty and kindness."

Serenity could not believe what she was hearing. "Not of this world? What do you mean not of this world? And you expect me to believe you are nine hundred and twenty one years old?" She began to become more frightened and more ill at the game this stranger was playing with her. It was bad enough that this man had been following her, but now he wanted to play her for stupid.

"No," he said stepping closer in the moonlight,"I do not think you are stupid. I am not from your world. You are mortal, and I am not." He looked down in dismay.

"What do you mean you are not mortal?"She looked at him with confusion in her eyes.

Whispering in her ear from behind," I am a vampire,"he stated and gently kissed the top of her ear.

A chill ran up her spine with the warmth of his breath on her as he spoke and a sensation churned in her stomach when he kissed her ear. She turned to face him when she found herself starring into his strong chest. She couldn't help but notice his strong well-toned figure in front of her before looking up to meet his gaze. "That cannot be. There is no such thing." She stated matter of factly.

"Is that so?" He asked as he cocked his head to the side and smiled at her to show his now pointed fangs.

Serenity gasped at the sight. Thoughts of the villagers stories now played through her head. Stories of terrible monsters that sucked out peoples blood called vampires. She had always laughed at the old people who told the stories, thinking they merely wanted attention from the younger looking at his sharp pointed fangs she began to feel weak and felt herself faint. Before she could feel the hard cold ground she felt two strong arms encircle her, and then it was like she was floating in the air. As she looked into the eyes of the man that caught her she suddlenly let go, and succombed to the dark somber that over took her tired body.

Back at the cottage Serenity's father and brother began to worry. It was unlike her to stay gone so long; especially at night. Sammy sat beside the window gazing out into the dark forrest awaiting his sisters return. He sighed when his father told him to go to bed, and sadly he climbed into bed as his father told. His father had tried to comfort him by reading him a bedtime story as his sister did, but it was not the same. After tucking in his son, Adam came to sit in front of the fire and pray that his daughter would soon return safely having just forgotten the time. 'I hope nothing is wrong. Where are you Serenity?'

At that very moment in a palace on the other side of the mountain, giggles were heard from an upstairs bedroom. Serenity lay in the plush bed fast asleep giggling in her dreams. A dark figure watched her from the shadows. 'She is so beautiful, even in her sleep. Oh Serenity, you make me feel so alive; like I have a heart again. I can almost feel it beating.' He came closer to the bed to sit on the edge and watch her. A soft knock was heard at the door.

"Enter"

Coming in a blue haired girl meekly walked up to the bed with her head low and sat a pan with water and a cloth on the night stand. Taking the wet cloth she gently caressed the sleeping girls face and forehead with it, cooling her off. The girl slightly flinched at the feel of the cool rag on her face, but snuggled deep into her covers for warmth and was deep in dreamland again.

"Thank you."Endymion looked at the girl and smiled. " How long do you think she will keep this fever?" he asked concerned.

The girl looked at him and smiled,"It should not last long. It is just a side effect from the sedative. I just wanted to make sure it didn't get out of control since I did not know how a human would react to it."

"Amy, thank you. I will watch her for the night."

The girl bowed her head."As you wish my lord. Endymion, have you taken her as your own yet?"

He looked up as if in thought."No, I will not do so until she asks me to."

"But my lord, are you sure she will?"

Endymion looked up at Amy with a thoughtful look,"She will become mine no matter what I have to do." The determination and lust in his eyes was frightening. Amy only nodded and quietly left.

Serenity tossed violently in her sleep. She dreamed of evil creatures taking her away. Suddenly she sat up startled by her dreams and began to take deep breaths to calm herself. When she calmed down and looked up she noticed she was not in her home. Looking around she became frantic and silently stifled a sob.

"Ssshhh...," the man cooed," You are safe now my love. No one will ever hurt you."

Serenity back to the headbored of the bed as if to get away from the voice that seemed to come out of nowhere. Suddenly a mysterious figure came from out of the shadows on the balcony and stepped into the room. "Hello my angel. I was wondering when you would awaken. Welcome home."

"Home?" She asked as she cocked her head to the side. Fear rising inside her as a tear gently trickled down her creamy cheeks.

Ok, that is all for now. I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I am sure some of you have given up on me by now. I have just started a new job, so I will only get to work on it on the weekends mostly. But I will try to update at least every two weeks. So, please R & R! Till next time JA NE! Bella Moon
