Dear Endymion,

I’m glad my dream had no effect on you. It had a great effect on me. I’m glad that you always look on the bright side of everything. I’m starting to forget about my dream. And it’s all because of you. I love you so much. Hope to see you soon.

Always forever,
Selenity

Endymion had received this letter the day after they saw each other at the tea party. He was thinking about her all day. He would answer questions as if he was a zombie. No one knew why he was acting like that though. They all just assumed that it was from studying all night long. Anna still had Selenity on her mind. Everytime she saw Endymion, he reminded her of Selenity. When she stood next to Endymion, she could smell Selenity’s perfume on him. She was reaching a point where she started to hate Selenity. She would do anything to keep them apart. Maybe even kill Selenity. Then she thought to herself that she was being insane and didn’t have to kill her. She had the perfect plan.

“Mother. I’m going out for a while.”

“Okay. When will you be back?”

“About 3 hours or more.”

“All right then.”

“I’ll be back by dinnertime.”

“Good.”

“Bye.” Endymion called over his shoulder. Anna saw him leave. She wanted to know where he was going. After all, Endymion had been out of the house a lot lately. She told her mother she was going out too. She followed Endymion. At first he went to his friend’s house. She thought it was a waste of time to go out and follow him. Right when she was about to leave, she saw him leave the house. He ran with big leaps in between, like he was sprinting. He looked as if he were running away from something. She followed him again. Finally, Endymion stopped at a tree. Anna recognized it. It was her favorite tree to sit under when she was a child. She still wondered what Endymion was doing at a tree. Endymion looked around as if to see if anyone was around to see him. He quickly crawled into the hole in the tree trunk. Then, he disappeared. She wanted to know where he went and what was down there. She cast her invisible spell and the flying spell on herself. She flew over to the tree and flew into the hole Endymion had crawled into. When she landed, the first thing she saw was Endymion, kissing Selenity.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Anna was furious with Selenity. And, this is why Endymion was “out” of the house so much. He came here to see Selenity. She didn’t want to stay, but she had to know what they talked about. Selenity would talk about her dream and how she wanted to be with Endymion all the time. Anna was so angry, she wanted to tape her mouth so she couldn’t talk. She hated Selenity so much. She saw how close they were becoming. She knew she had to do something to keep them apart. She had to start organizing her plan. She flew out of the secret spot and went back to the mansion. She wanted to know many things. What she wanted to know the most is how he knew Selenity was there. She kept her invisible and flying spell on. She flew to Endymion’s mansion and flew into his room. She took off her flying spell but kept her invisible spell on. She looked around his room. She looked everywhere. She found nothing. This didn’t help her at all. Then she carefully examined everything once more. The carved bedding, the wooden doors, the hand made and hand carved dresser. Then she remembered something from her childhood.

“Anna. Come here.”

“What?”

“Look what I found.”

“What is it?”

“A secret compartment. It’s so cool! Now I can put my toys in here.”

“Cool! Can I see?”

“Sure. You pull this stick of wood on the side and lift the carving up. There’s tons of room in there.”

“Cool!”

She remembered. The secret compartment. She found the stick of wood on the side, and lifted the carving. A lot of stuff was in there. Suddenly, she got mad. What had made her mad? Everything in the compartment was all about Selenity. Her pictures, quotes she said (to magazines), etc. Selenity, Selenity, Selenity. She always got the attention. She was always on the news, always on the cover of a magazine. Anna was going insane. She looked around the compartment when he came across a couple of letters with Selenity’s handwriting on it. They were the letters that she sent Endymion.

“So this is how you know when she’s there. Well, Endymion. Things don’t look so great for you. Watch out Selenity. You’re gonna lose your boyfriend. Sorry Endymion, but I’m afraid that this is the last day Selenity will be in your arms. Tomorrow, you’ll be in mine.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Endymion, I wish we could see each other everyday.”

“Me too. But you do know that going out everyday will make everyone suspicious.”

“I know. I know. I just wish we could stay here with each other forever.”

“Yeah.”

Soon, it was time for the two of them to leave. They hugged each other for a long, long time. When they kissed each other goodbye, they Frenched it, just to make it special, because they knew that they wouldn’t see each other for a long time.

Meanwhile, Anna was back at her house, planning and organizing her so called “perfect plan” to separate Selenity and Endymion.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next day, Endymion sent a letter to Selenity. It said:

Dear Selenity,

I loved seeing you yesterday. I really enjoyed my time with you. I also enjoyed our little kiss. I want to see you more and more as everyday passes by. I love you so much.

Always,
Endymion

Later that day, Selenity got Endymion’s letter. But, Anna was there, visiting Selenity with her mother. They were hanging out together in Selenity’s room. Then someone knocked on the door.

“Selenity, you have mail.” her mother said.

“Thanks Mom.”

“You’re welcome.”

After Selenity’s mother left, Selenity was about to open Endymion’s letter, but Anna asked to see the letter.

“Selenity. Is that the one from Endymion?”

“Yes. How did you know?”

“I recognized his handwriting.”

“Oh.”

“Can I read it too?”

“Well Anna, you have to be able to keep a secret.”

“Selenity, you know me! I’m your cousin. I would never tell a secret. I haven’t told anyone about you and Endymion being together.”

“Yeah. You’re right. I can trust you.”

“So I can read it?”

“Yeah! Of course you can.” So they read the letter. Anna was upset when she read about their kiss. But she acted like she was happy for them.

“Oh Selenity, he loves you very much. This is a guy you would want to lose, I mean, I guy you wouldn’t to lose.”

“Yeah. He sure is.” Selenity said dreamily.

“Anyway, what was he talking about when he wrote about your kiss?”

“Oh” Selenity was turning pink.

“Oh. What?”

“The kiss was special. We made our regular kiss into a French kiss.”

“Oh.” Anna replied. “You two must have some kind of special bond.”

“We do.”

“Hey Selenity. We shouldn’t be sitting here.”

“Why not?”

“You need to sit at your desk and write back to him.”

“Yeah. Maybe I should.”

“What do you mean maybe? Saying ‘I will’ is more like it. Now get started.”

“You’re right. I’ll start writing right now.”

Anna read over Selenity’s shoulders. Selenity was about to turn around, but Anna sat down before Selenity saw her standing behind her. Selenity looked like she was doubting that Endymion would answer her letter or something. She had a face that looked like she was about to cry.

“Selenity. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“I know what’s wrong. You’re hungry. After all, we didn’t have lunch. Come on. Let’s get some lunch to eat.”

“Okay.”

“And, I promise that when we’re done with lunch, we’ll mail the letter right away.”

“Okay. Sounds like a good idea.”

“Okay then. It’s settled. We’ll mail the letter right after lunch.” Anna stayed back a while.

“Anna? You coming?”

“Yeah. I just need to do something. I’ll be right there.”

“Okay.” Selenity left.

A few minutes later, they were finished with lunch and like Anna promised, they mailed the letter right away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next day, Anna had to go to a tea party at Endymion’s house. She was with Endymion in his room. Endymion’s mother knocked on the door.

“Endymion, you have mail.”

“Thank you mother.” he said. His mother left. Anna spoke.

“Endymion. Is that a letter from Selenity?”

“Yeah. How did you know?”

“I recognized the handwriting.”

“You two must really miss each other. You know, being on different planets and not being able to see each other.”

“Yeah. I know I miss her a lot.”

“Well? Go ahead. Read the letter.” Endymion opened the letter and it said:

Dear Endymion,

I got your letter. I enjoyed our time together also. I enjoyed the kiss also. There’s something I have to tell you though. I think we should stop seeing each other. I’m sorry to say, but I want to break up. I don’t want to see you anymore. It just doesn’t seem possible. I also heard that long distance relationships don’t work out that well. I’m so sorry. I just can’t see you anymore.

Sincerely,
Selenity
