Verita, Mentire, Amore e Morte.
(Truth, Lies, Love and Death(

By: Katie-lee Brady

Summary: Her life was ruined, envied by most, and now she lives in chaos, trying to peace her life together. He had an intended, but she disappeared, and now centuries later he still has hope.

Full Summary: She doesn't know the full extent to her past... her life... she doesn't even know what she is, but one things for – she is very different!

He is a vampire with many secrets... no one but him himself and a selected few know the truth about him.

'They', are searching after him and her – reasons unknown... but they are the holders... the key to everything – her life, his awareness.

Evil! Has a way of covering the light with dark... Is able to find out before good... and now... It is searching for what it lost before 'they' can find it, and use it to set all things right again...

But at what price must each pay before getting what they want? How far will each go? But at the end, is it; was it... all of it... worth it?

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Sailor Moon... I own nothing, and do not claim to pretend to own anything or any part. So please, DO NOT SUE!!

Genre: Everything... Romance, Humour, Drama, Mystery, Supernatural, Fantasy, Tragedy, and maybe something else... but they are the main ones... haha... :)

Rating: So far M. If I do decide to write something outside that rating, I will mention something in advance since chapters are going to be, hopefully, planned in advanced.

"Attention, Attention," The King said tapping his butter knife to his wine glass.

He was a man of great stature and respected by many far and wide. He had long platinum white hair that was tired in a low tail with two twisted plats hanging from his face down the front of him. His height was quit tall and his build was muscular. He had tanned skin and big green empowering turquoise eyes. He was wearing a white robe with gold trimmings and sash. He was standing in the middle of the main table with his wife standing next to him to support him.

His wife, the peoples Queen, had long silver hair that was done in an odd style; two pigtails that held at the top like balls. He had creamy white fair skin and warm silvery blue eyes. She was wearing a white dress with gold trimmings.

Once all noise was seized and there was total silence, The King continued with his speech. "I would like to thank you all for coming to this joyful party to celebrate the joining of the Royal Moon Family to the Vampyre Nation." He paused to look to the left of him where his daughter was. "The joining of my fair daughter Serenity," he motioned to her, "to the Vampyre Endymion," which he motioned to at the end of the room, "heir to Lord Dracus Duncan McCloud," who was seated next to his son, who stood to bow. "Together they shall unite and bring many good things to the Kingdom." He paused to let the people clap and cheer in rejoice. "Now eat, dance, drink, enjoy yourselves," he shouted as the music began to play again. And as he finished the people cheered once more and continued to enjoy the celebration.

"Mummy, why do I have to be engaged so young? Can't we wait?" A miniature version of the Queen said to the Queen. Though she had lighter, more silvery eyes.

"Because my darling, daughter Serenity..." the Queen smiled to her daughter, "The people need hope, and right now in this dark time, an engagement is the perfect way to lift people's spirits."

"..." Serenity half smiled to her mother. Lowering her head, unsure of what to say. Deep down she knew this was her duty as the Princess, and that one day she was to be married. But she was brought up on fairytale books, with happy endings; Princesses who marry their Prince charming; their true loves. Something that she wished would happen to her; but knew never would. This marriage was already arranged before she was even born.

Immediately the Queen gasped, "Do you not like Endymion? I thought you two got along so well..." she sounded worried. He voice nervous and anxious at the same time; for every time Serenity and Endymion spent time together, they looked like they enjoyed each others company… or at least Endymion looked like that.

"Mother... mama," Serenity tried to calm her mother down, "It's not that... it's just... I'm still only young... and you and papa are going to be around for awhile to come... so I just... I dunno..." she tried to think, but her mother's hysteria's and breathing was worrying her.

"Oh Serenity," her mother took her into a tight hug, "That may be so... but like I always say... nothing is what it may seem... and one day, maybe tragically your father and I may pass... and for good measure, you have your intended... so there is no need to be concerned about the whole thing... everything will be right..." she tried to convince her daughter… but more so herself, for she knew what was to come. As the Queen, you are gifted with sight of your kingdom… past, present, and even future.

"But mother... you speak as if something has already happened?" Serenity sounded confused. For quiet some time now her mother had been acting different… but she could never understand why. It was so sudden.

"What?" her mother pulled serenity back at arm's length, "I assure you, nothing is ever going to happen... at least not for a very long time, so please enjoy the night... and say hi to Endymion for me," she smiled as she looked over Serenity's shoulder.

When Serenity followed her mother's gaze, she saw Endymion heading her way. He looked just like his father; A very dark and mystical pair. They had olive toned skin, dark ebony black hair that was always unruly and piecing dark, midnight blue eyes. As she glanced back at her mother... there was nothing but the air.

"Evening my fair Princess," Endymion said as he bowed himself to show his respects to Serenity. At the same time he pulled out his un-thorned rose from his tuxedo pocket and handed it to her.

Serenity put on her best smile and turned to wards him, taking the rose, "Good evening yourself, my Lord McCloud." She gave him a nice little curtsey of her dress.

"Please Princess, call me Endymion," he gave her a dashing smile. Slowly creeping closer to her.

Even though his father had always taught him to be mysterious and never allow people to read him, or his feelings, he could never hide them from Serenity. From the very first moment he met her, she ignited something in him that wanted him to prove himself to her. But he always got the same reaction from her, like she didn't have the same feelings, and her mind was always pre-occupied.

Serenity gave him a smile, "Then I must insist you call me by my first name."

Endymion could not help but let a small laugh out, "my Princess is so young, yet so intelligent and free for an 8 year old." He then went serious again, "But it is not my place just yet to call you that, so let me be content on calling you my princess."

Understanding by what he meant, Serenity nodded her head, "very well, Lord Endymion."

Suddenly the music changed to a new rhythm, "may I have this dance, Princess?" he bowed, extending his hand towards her.

"Certainly," Serenity replied as she dropped the rose on the table near her, and accepted Endymion outreached hand.

When Serenity's hand touched his own, he grabbed hold of her other one and instantaneously, they begun to dance to the rhythm. Twirling and spinning as they danced. Pausing ever so second to catch their breaths, and then moving once more again.

As the Queen spoke to her daughter, she almost let the horror if what she saw control her. Her daughter was getting closer to the truth. Surely she knew something was happening. But Serenity caught her off guard when she said that it sounded like something had already happened. How was she to talk her way out of it? But at that moment, over her daughter shoulder she saw Endymion making his way over, eyes intent on Serenity.

"What?" she pulled her daughter to arms length, "I assure you, nothing is ever going to happen... at least not for a very long time, so please enjoy the night... and say hi to Endymion for me," she smiled as she saw serenity following her own gaze that was set upon Endymion.

When her daughter was not looking at all, she let go of Serenity and made her way hastily over to her husband that was currently seated with Dracus Duncan McCloud.

"Good evening Lord Dracus McCloud," The Queen spoke smoothly as she took a seat next to her husband.

"Evening my Lady Queen of the Moon," he bowed his head.

"Lord Dracus was telling me of the many things Earth has to offer," the King mentioned the conversation to his wife as she sat.

"Glorious, isn't it," she said as she looked over to her daughter, "They make such a gorgeous couple, do they not?" she glanced back at the other two men.

"Certainly," Dracus said, "And may I express my many thanks for this humble opportunity you have so graciously given us Vampyre's."

"Hush," the King silenced him, "it was meant to be. Your son was marked as my daughters intended by the gods," he explained, "but if I may say so myself, this is a very good pairing. Many good things have already come from this pairing, and many more, still to come."

"Yes," The Queen started, "my husband is right. Plus this in itself presents many opportunities."

Dracus expressed his happiness by smiling at the happy pair in front of him. For them the whole match making of soul mates was a natural thing. But for Dracus it was uncommon. He was from the Earth, where everything was different from the Moon. But his own son, a mere pureblood Vampyre from Earth, soul mate to the Silver Millenniums High Princess from the Royal family, from a long history of specified bloodlines, was something very overwhelming for him to cope with. Two different families of status joined together just because the 'gods' marked Endymion with the same mark that was given to Her Princess Serenity. It was ludicrous to him. There were many planets in the Silver millennium, plus many more galaxies, so how they were sure Endymion's mark was real, and wasn't just coincident? It was a mystery to him.

"If you will excuse us Lord Dracus," the King started, pulling Dracus from his thoughts, "I would love to continue this conversation later, but right now I wish to dance with my wife."

"Certainly your highnesses," he bowed his head. "Enjoy the night, business later."

With that, the happy couple left Dracus and joined in the dancing. Dracus sat contently and watched the celebrations unfold. But unconsciously his eyes fell upon his son dancing with Serenity. Everything he had taught his son went out the door when it came to Serenity. He was too relaxed and pre-occupied when it came to her, but she was too was pre-occupied… not with what was on Endymion's mind, but on her own. He noticed that the way Serenity looked at Endymion was not with the same feeling is son looked at her with. She held such questionable looks. Not that she did not like Endymion, but for what her life road was to take her.

'A very intellectual girl you are, my sweet High Princess Serenity. Endymion is very luck to have been picked your intended… but you my dear, know more then you think. For you will be the holder, the key, and the only thing this world will have to hope for when it's time has come. But until then my little Princess, enjoy your youth. Enjoy your lovely life you live here… and may one day, when your time comes, you will shine bright in the dark.' Dracus thought to himself. As a pureblood Vampyre he was gifted with the sight of reading people. On Earth he could read anyone's minds, unless of course they were strong enough to shield their minds, but here on the Moon he was restricted, he could only read people by their facial expressions and gestures. And lately the Queen has been off guard, and her actions were very frantic… which of course the Princess read too, which made Dracus think that maybe something had happened, or was going to happen. Especial since they were keen to forward the marriage plans and make it all public. It was a known fact that the Moon royals were basically immortal, so the King and Queen marrying off their daughter so young was a mystery to him when they still had hundreds of year left to live… and the Queens sudden worry rung bells in his head. But who was he to question? Everything happens for a reason, and so what ever was to come, will come no matter what.

After the celebrations for the night, and the announcement of Princess Serenity's engagement to Lord Endymion Duncan McCloud, it was time for the Vampyre party to leave back to Earth.

They were there for a total of four days and three nights, but were needed back on Earth. As one of the last pureblood Vampyre families, many Vampyre's looked up to them for guidance and protection. It was known that purebloods held much more power then the usual Vampyre. They could not only read minds and have telekinesis skills, but were also gifted with special abilities that were unknown, unless told by the owner of the gift themselves.

It was morning and was time for Endymion and his father, as well as their small group of guards to leave the Moon back to Earth.

They were all standing in the room of the Silver gate, saying their good bye's to each other.

"I shall miss you my fair princess. But I hope our next meeting wont be too long away," Endymion spoke to his Princess before he left.

"I too, Lord Endymion, and until then, may the gods be with you," Serenity gave him a small curtsy of her dress.

Endymion could not help but laugh at the small Princess; she was so young and full of life. She still held onto her dreams and fantasy's… he admired her. He never wanted her to grow up. But all good things come to an end. That he knew… for his life was never one of good fortune… and hearing that he was her soul mate of a High princess made his happy, that such a boy like himself, that brought bad luck was such gifted with good fortune… but somehow, somewhere, deep inside him knew that this would not last, Like something was going to happen to take the Princess away from him… and unlike other times, he did anticipate the event, he took hold of the moment and expressed his feelings before it was too late… but he knew, that that in itself was a waste.

He Kissed Serenity's hand and moved to his fathers side, just in front of the Silver gate; the gateway between worlds. A teleporter if you will. Just as he tuned towards the gate, from the corner of his eye, he could see the sadness on the Queens and Princesses face. They too knew something was going to happen. But before he could say or do anything, his father had already pushed him into the porter, and was now standing in their own Silver gate room back on Earth.

"Well, that was eventful now, wasn't it son?" Dracus turned to his son.

"Yes, it was father. But I cannot help but think that something is going to happen."

"I too my son… but it is not our place… things will happen regardless, so enjoy now," he father said as he left the room.

Endymion stood there, watching the empty space his father once was. 'He too knew… but why did he not do anything? I just hope my fair princess is safe.' And with that he too left the room.

"My darling daughter, you cannot stay here in this room all day, come," The Queen spoke to her daughter.

"Yes, mother, coming," serenity said as she tore her eyes from the Silver gate and followed her mother out of the room.

"You seem sad my daughter… is it because you already miss Endymion?" he mother tried to make small talk, but curiosity also burnt through her words.

"Mother… I have a bad feeling—"

"Serenity,' he mother gave her a reassuring smile, "everything is fine… do not worry my daughter."

"But mother!" Serenity stopped, "I feel as though something bad is going to happen!" Serenity stressed, almost yelling.

The Queen paused and looked at her daughter, "my child," she gave a warm smile, "You are more then I could have wanted… then I could have suspected. You are gifted with things I never thought possible, and this I know. No matter what, it is your duty to look after the Silver Millennium. For you will hold the key…" the Queen then continued to walk on. Leaving the tensity of the talk, the air turned calm, as if nothing had happened between mother and daughter.

"Mother…" Serenity said under her breath as she watched her mother walk on.

"Hurry up Serenity."

"Yes mother," Serenity snapped out of her daydream.

"Now hurry up and put your nightgown on," The Queen spoke as they entered Serenity's bedroom.

Serenity then raced to her wardrobe and walked in. A minute later she walked out with her light pink nightgown on. Her mother was sitting upon her bed, waiting.

Serenity then quickly hopped into bed and pulled the covers over her.

"My darling daughter," her mother started, "sleep well and may you dreams be happy," she smiled, kissing her daughters forehead lightly.

"Goodnight mother," Serenity quickly said as she closed her eyes; anticipating the next day to come.

But hours had passed, and she was feeling sick. She could not sleep. She knew something was happening. It was too quiet. But just as she thought that, there was suddenly a big boom and many screams came following. The next thing she knew was that she was in her mothers arms, in a nasty smelling dungeon.
