Narrator’s pov

“Luna… I’m so sorry” Cytheria whispered, her eyes locked with the demon
“I’m so so sorry for what happened. Oh my God” Cytheria whispered, her hands engulfed the girl, a small bright flash was seen but she didn’t care. She needed to be here for the girl
She wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close, gently rubbing her arm. Despite the heaviness in her stomach, it fluttered at the feeling of her body pressed against Luna’s.
She sunk into the warmth of her side, appreciative of the simple gesture. Her touch made the room warmer somehow, Cytheria’s future within its walls seemed a little less bleak.
It wasn’t the hug of gentle arms that still gave the space to breathe, it was the hug of strong arms that told everything that your are – body, brain and soul – that they are with you.
They pulled away after a few minutes, the warmth of their bodies separated and immediately felt cold, untouched. Cytheria cleared her throat
“I should, get back over there” she whispered before heading back to her seat across the girl
“It’s alot to take in” Luna mumbled
“It’s crazy for me, but I can’t imagine what you must have felt” Cytheria said
“Story haven’t ended yet Cytheria” Luna chuckled
“Right, yes go ahead” Cytheria said
“Turns out I’m actually half angel half demon” Luna giggled
“I’m sorry, what?”
“It means I’m more powerful than my father” Luna whispered, Cytheria’s eyes went wide
“This is… Alot to take in” Cytheria chuckled
“Wait till you find out what happens after I broke up with you” Luna said
“Do tell”
“I gave Fawn her powers back but the pain knocked her out for a while, Medusa thought she was dead and it started a war between us. She threatened to turn my father into ashes, I got so heated that it unlocked an element within me that I didn’t know I had. It turned some of my wings white and now anytime I use my powers, my veins turn white” Luna said
“Wow… Um… I really don’t know what to say” Cytheria said with wide eyes
“We had a battle in the castle. Which I won, duh” Luna smirked
“Ofcourse you did” Cytheria chuckled
“I took her powers.. And her wings” Luna whispered
“You what?”
“I ripped her damn wings out of her back” Luna chuckled
“Doesn’t that use alot of energy?”
“Taking her powers took energy, it drained every part of me for years” Luna said
“How.. How many years?”
“Five”
“What the fuck? You were recovering for five years?!” Cytheria said
“Woke up last week” Luna chuckled, Cytheria’s eyes went wide
“What the hell are you doing on earth if you only woke up lastweek?!” Cytheria said
Luna sighed, her fingers reached over and intertwined with Cytheria’s from across the table. Cytheria’s swallowed a lump in her throat when their skins touched, a deep electric sensation came from the center of her palm that increased with each stroke of Luna’s thumb
“I needed to see you” Luna whispered, Cytheria’s eyes locked with the girl’s. Her soft green eyed showed such love
“Really?” Cytheria whispered
“God yes. It was torture not being able to get to you. You were the last person I thought of before going into recovery and you were the first person I thought of when I woke up”
The words sent shivers down Cytheria’s spine, Luna stroked the girl’s palm softly. The blonde girl shut her eyes tightly, the electric sensation ran through her veins. Her mind went to everything Luna just said
She didn’t expect such a story when she came here but this changed everything. Her whole life just changed within the flash of a second. Their love for each other wasn’t a lie, it was real. But a bitch got in the way
But what does that mean for them? Cytheria couldn’t just drop her life and run away with the girl. This is real world, they’re both adults now. As much as she pitied what happened to the girl, she couldn’t just give it all away because she’s here again.
Even if the breakup was just an excuse, her pain surely was real. Years of suffocating from her own tears, years of locking away her own feelings. She refused to let another person in, Cytheria was never the same person after the breakup.
“What… What happened to everyone else?”
“Taylor came back and helped my father recover, Fawn eventually gained herself back but she still remembered everything after our incident. She’s not the person Medusa raised her to be, she’s really cool. And an awesome sister” Luna chuckled, Cytheria almost spit out her wine
“Oh yeah that’s right, you’re sisters. What ever happened? Why were you both separated?” Cytheria asked
“No one really knows, but I was told that she came to hell and left me with my father. Such a lovely way of dividing their properties” Luna gritted through her teeth
“Hey. Think of it this way, you were raised by one of the sweetest men alive, he’s a great father. Fawn had to grew up with the bitch, her childhood was literally hell” Cytheria chuckled
“I guess so” Luna smiled “Unfortunately she’s still alive”
“She’s WHAT”
“Right? I thought I killed her when I ripped her wings out” Luna mumbled
“Can I kill her?” Cytheria asked, Luna chuckled at the girl and nodded
“Of course, we’ll drive a stake through her heart, put a bullet in her head and slice her body into pieces and feed them to the wolves” Luna smiled sweetly
“Okay serial killer, I see you” Cytheria chuckled
“I’m really pissed at one thing” Luna said
“What’s that?” Cytheria asked
“It’s the first time I lied to you. I broke our promise and I purposely hurted you” Luna whispered, A small smile tugged across Cytheria’s face
“Hey” Cytheria said, her fingers intertwined with the girl, Luna’s eyes looked down to her hands “You shouldn’t feel bad about that, you couldn’t control what happened and you did what you thought was the best thing to do”
“Still. I want you to forgive me” Luna said, Cytheria chuckled softly
“okay, I forgive you” Cytheria giggled
“Damn, it was that easy. Tell me you love me next” Luna smirked
“Ugh don’t get ahead of yourself” Cytheria laughed
“Oh come on, you’re gonna sit here and tell me you don’t love me?” Luna smirked and raised a brow
Cytheria looked away as she brought the wine to her lips with a blush on her cheek
“I fucking knew it dude” Luna laughed
“I didn’t say anything” Cytheria giggled
“Are you really going to marry that clown?” Luna asked
“Clown?”
“The pop singer that looks like he acted in the cheap version of Magic Mike” Luna rolled her eyes
“Magic Mike? Oh God no” Cytheria laughed
“Is he really your boyfriend?” Luna asked. She honestly knew the answer and the confirmation from the girl would crush her heart even more.
“Yes” Cytheria whispered
“Oh… Are you gonna marry him?”
“…yes… ”
“Why?” Luna asked, Cytheria sighed
“Because it’s what’s best for everyone else”
“What do you mean?” Luna asked
“My life isn’t in my control anymore Luna, I hadn’t seen my parents in years, two days ago was the first time I saw Cole and Dreama after five years. Everyone’s drifted off, we all have different lives and unfortunately mine’s far different and needs to be controlled. So now I have to marry a man” Cytheria muttered
“Do you love him?” Luna asked
“….no”
“….do you love me…” Luna pushed, her eyes locked with the blonde girl
“I… I can’t answer that” Cytheria mumbled, in all honesty she didn’t know what to feel right now
She couldn’t just side away the experiences she’s had and lock them in a box then jump right into Luna’s arms. But God knows how tempted she was
“Why can’t you answer me?” Luna muttered
“Because Luna. It’s complicated now. I understand what what happened to you and my God, I’m so so sorry you had to go through that. But it didn’t mean everything will change because you’re here” Cytheria said, the hot tears started to fill the rim of her eyes
“Why can’t it change?” Luna asked, Cytheria furrowed her brows at the girl
“Tell me, Luna”. Cytheria says.
“What?”
“Do you truly think that I will throw my entire life away, just because you came back?”
“Yes… And no.” Luna chuckled, Cytheria playfully rolled her eyes
“You’re ridiculous”
“And you’re beautiful” Luna whispered
The blonde’s cheek turned bright red as she locked eyes with the girl across the table. Luna’s fingers continued to stroke her palm, A buzzing sensation came from Cytheria’s side as she glanced to the phone and saw 20 missed calls from Jeff
“Shit”
“What’s wrong?” Luna asked
“I have to go” Cytheria groaned and started gathering her personal belongings
“Why?” Luna asked, her heart started to race at the thought of the girl leaving
“I’m in alot of trouble, I’m supposed to be at Richie’s interview and Jeff is gonna chew my head off now and i-”
“Oh…. ” Luna whispered, Cytheria dropped what she was doing and glanced at the demon
Luna was hunched over in her seat, head hung low as she tried to hide her sad expression of her, desperately not wanting the girl to leave.
“I’m sorry” Cytheria whispered
“It’s okay, I get it, your life is crazy, busy and important now. Don’t worry about it” Luna mumbled
The sharp pain ran through Cytheria’s heart, it ached to leave. Sure she didn’t want to, but she couldn’t imagine what would happen to her if she didn’t leave. So she took a deep breath in and started to head towards the door
Suddenly, a hand gripped her wrist. Luna smirked and held the girl’s hand as she walked past her, the demon pulled Cytheria into her, causing the blonde to fall onto her lap, bridal style.
“Luna” Cytheria giggled
“What?” Luna smirked
“I have to goo” Cytheria squealed out as she tried to escape the girl’s grasp
“You really thought you were gonna leave here without kissing me?” Luna smirked
“Oh my God” Cytheria blushed
“Pwease” Luna pouted
“no”
“Pretty Please?” she asked
“Noo” Cytheria giggled
“How the FUCK does my charms not work on you anymore?” Luna groaned
“Who said it isn’t?” Cytheria whispered lowly so the girl couldn’t hear
“What was that?” Luna asked
“Nothing, I have to go. I’ll… See you around Luna” Cytheria whispered
Luna sighed and nodded, releasing her grip on the girl. To her surprise, Cytheria didn’t move. Instead, Cytheria cupped the girl’s cheek and pulled her face closer.
“It was nice seeing you again Luna” Cytheria whispered, her lips planted a tender kiss on the girl’s cheek
When their eyes locked again, a bright red shade pulled across Luna’s cheek
“Oh my God, are you blushing?” Cytheria smirked
“What?! NO”
“You really are” Cytheria giggled
“No” Luna groaned
“I thought you didn’t lie?” Cytheria teased
“Okay yeah I’m fucking blushing” Luna laughed
“You’re so cute” Cytheria giggled, her eyes suddenly went wide as she realized what she said
“Um, yeah I have to go. Bye Luna” Cytheria groaned and pulled herself off the girl’s lap
“Goodbye my love” Luna said, her eyes watched Cytheria as she walked away
“Oh by the way, you looked beautiful tonight!” Luna screamed through the entire restaurant causing a few heads to turn. Of course a deadly red blush pulled across Cytheria’s face as she walked out of the restaurant
What a night.
