Luna’s pov
–
“You want to go back don’t you?” Fawn asked
“More than anything” I whispered
“Do you want to talk to father about that?”
“Do you really think the man would let go of me after everything that happened?”
“He… That’s true” she corrected
“I want to do this for me. I need her to know the truth” Luna mumbled
“She will, I’ll make sure someone tells-”
“No!” I hissed “She must hear it from me”
“Why?”
“Because she knows I don’t lie” I whispered, it felt like something squeezed my heart.
It was the first time I lied to the girl I love. I could never forgive myself for the pain I’ve placed her in. The thought of her shedding a tear, heart broken over my own actions.
I know it wasn’t my fault, I had no choice but to follow my mother’s orders. Who knew what she would have done to Lucifer if I disobeyed.
“Come on, your guests are waiting” she said before heading towards the door
I took a deep breath in and closed my eyes. The emotions washed through my veins like running water, the second I opened my eyes, I was calm.
So I headed out my room and walked down the wide hallway, not a soul or demon in sight but their laughters filled the castle.
“There she is!” Lucifer yelled upon my entrance at the top of the stairway
A speech boomed over the crowd of guest below the stairs. A smile pulled across my lips, strident timbre of the voice, cacophony of applause and cheering, whooping, hollering, clapping, stamping of feet, palpable excitement buzzed through the charged air, infectious grins of family and strangers shaking hands and a spontaneous outpouring of emotion. It was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Goddammit I need to stop crying so much.
“Thank you, thank you all for coming out tonight. As you may know, I was away from a really long time. And like a dragon, I have awoken. I’d like to thank every single person that took good care of me over the years and ensured that I stayed healthy. I’m pretty sure bathing me was a hustle” I said
A few laughs erupted from the crowd, especially from the maids. I even noticed their cheeks turning a slight shade of pink.
Oh-
Taylor approached me, I furrowed my brows when my eyes trailed over her body. The girl had on a blood red dress that trailed down the stairs, there was a split by her hip and exposed her cleavage slightly. Her raven black hair was curled, her eyes sparkled under the chandelier with her diamond earrings. She held a champagne glass out towards me, I took it between my fingers and thanked her.
“Now that I’m back, there’s so many things to do. So many places to see, I heard of the amazing work that our constructers did on the new city down town. You guys worked really hard and so I’m dedicated this night to not just my return, but to those who worked their assess off for years to achieve something they’re proud of. Cheers” I held my glass out
“Cheers” they all said in unison, I smiled and sipped the liquid.
Everyone returned back to their small chattering and laughters with each other. The music filled the walls, a smile tugged across my lips when Lucifer approached me. He had on a black turtle neck with a blood red blazer and trousers. His hair was slicked back
“Don’t you look stylish” I chuckled
“I have to look my best for my daughters” he said, his hand pressed against my back
“So many things can change in such little time” he muttered
“What do you mean?” I asked
“You live on earth for a few months and you’re infatuated with there than your own birth place” he chuckled, I furrowed my brows at him
“What?” I asked
“LUNA FUCKING AMON” a voice yelled, my eyes grew wide as I shifted in the direction
“Vernon FUCKING SLAVIC” I screamed. I’m sure most eyes were on us but I didn’t care.
Do you know what it’s like to see your best friend after five years?!
“ALEX” she yelled, it was almost like the cheesy slow mo running scenes like in Shrek
“MORTY” I yelled and ran towards her
“OH SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA” she squealed
The Vampire’s hands wrapped around my neck as she leaped into my arms like the bottom she is when it comes to a demon
“I missed you so fucking much Luna” she said
She pulled me closer to her chest, wrapping her arms around me. Her embrace was warm when wrapped around my body. The world around me melted away as I squeezed my best friend back, not wanting the moment to end.
“I missed you more” I muttered against her skin. The girl slid down my body
“I was updated about what happened only yesterday. For five years I’ve tried to get any contact with you but that academy had strict rules. If Dracula found out I broke any, he’d literally drive a stake through my heart. I’m so fucking sorry I wasn’t here. The first thing I did when I found out was to get my ass down here” Vernon said
“Don’t worry about, I’m here now. Alive and well” I said
“You aren’t the only one that’s alive” Vernon mumbled
“I haven’t seen her yet”
“Why would you want to see her?” Vernon asked
“She’s the whole reason I was even in that mess” I whispered
“I heard what happened, I wanted to speak to Aeli-”
“It’s okay. I preferred if it came from my own mouth”
“Does that mean you’re heading back to earth?”
“Do you think I should?” I asked the girl, my eyes met hers and she sighed
“Do you want to stay here?” she questioned
“I want to be happy”
“What makes you happy?”
“Cytheria”
“Then there’s your answer” she smiled “But I have to warn you, life isn’t the same as when you left it. Everyone’s changed, we haven’t spoken to each other in years. Cytheria Jones isn’t that teenager you once knew, she’s a woman now. She’s made an entire different life for herself. Her parent’s haven’t seen her in two years” she said. Wait, what?
“Cytheria wouldn’t stop talking to her parents… ” I whispered, I furrowed my brows to the girl
“I told you. She’s different Luna” Vernon repeated “I’m sorry”
“I need to get out of here” I mumbled
“Yeah you do” a voice said, I snapped my head in the direction of the sound to see a familiar face
“Hi Nathan” I chuckled, the girl squealed and ran towards me
“Lunaaaaa I missed you so much” she screamed before tossing her arms around my neck
“Missed you too witchy witch” I smiled
“How dare you” she glared when she pulled away
“Does Fawn know you’re here?” I asked
“No, your father and Taylor arranged for us to come down” She said
“Well I’m sure she’ll be more than happy to see you” I smiled sweetly
Suddenly, the sound of a glass shattering filled my ear. I spun around to see Fawn holding the other half of the champagne glass as her jaw fell open
“Nathan… ” she whispered, the witch smiled and slowly approached the girl
“Hi baby” she whispered, her hands wrapped around the girl’s waist as she pulled her closer
“My God, what did they do to you” Nathan whispered
Fawn threw her arms around her girlfriend’s neck and pulled her closer, invading her warmth with her own. I could hear the soft sobs of my sister against the neck of the witch.
“I thought I lost you” Nathan whispered, Fawn pulled away and cupped the girl’s face. Peppering kisses all over her skin, trying to appreciate every inch of the girl that she missed so dearly.
I felt an arm toss around my shoulder, I chuckled and leaned my head against Vernon’s.
“Young love” she chuckled
“What happened to you and Dreama?” I asked
“I… I haven’t seen her yet” she mumbled
“Are you two still a thing?” I asked
“Do you really think that girl could resist me?” she chuckled
“So you haven’t spoken to her in five years since you were in the academy but you’re still together?”
“And that’s on having a trusting and loving relationship” Vernon smirked
“Can’t relate” I groaned
A/N bitch I snorted OMG 💀
“Oh come on, you had a reason for doing what you did”
“Yeah, to gain the trust of a snake. Literally” I spat
“You didn’t know it was gonna backfire”
“Whatever” I mumbled
“Hey, stop stressing yourself out. Maybe some things weren’t meant to be”
“But I love her”
“You really want her back, don’t you?” she asked
“Duhhh bitch” I said, the girl laughed
“Then get your girl back”
