BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 05: Childhood
"Honey?" Honey lifted her head up and smiled when she saw Estrella peeking at the door. Her cousin smiled back at her and sat beside her on her bed. "Thank you," Estrella started. She held Honey's hand to show how grateful she was, "You almost died for protecting my daughter." Honey put her hand on Estrella's hand. She looked at her cousin's dazzling eyes, "Luna is my niece. Part of our family. I must protect her." She closed her eyes as she felt the warmth and comfort of Estrella's embrace. It'd been a while since she felt her cousin's hug. It may be odd, but there was something in her hug that could melt all her worries and fear in an instant. Despite the cold and mean mask her cousin wore when they were on a mission, she would always be the soft Estrella she was fond of. "I didn't expect that you would accept her instantly," Estrella whispered when they parted from a hug. She sighed, a weak smile appeared on her face while thinking how hard it could be for her daughter to live
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 06: Nosy
"You'll be away from here now, my little angel."Sanguis also peeked at his sleeping daughter, "Are you sure about this, hon?" he asked."We don't have any choices left," Estrella sighed as she stood up properly and stared at Luna, "All I know now is we need to leave the Kingdom before King Joseah announces her existence to other kingdoms."Her husband just nodded his head. He understood that once King Joseah announced their daughter's presence in other kingdoms, they could never get Luna out of there anymore.Luna's tiny room was enveloped in silence, until Victoria opened the door and let herself in. The couple looked at her. She awkwardly smiled because she felt that she had disturbed something."Did... Did I disturb you?" she asked in whispers.Estrella shook her head and walked closer to the sofa, "No, silly. Come and sit here," she tapped the space beside her.Victoria walked closer and sat beside her. She handed a piece of paper to Estrella. The couple scanned the papers one-by
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 07: Escape
"Estrella?"Princess Estrella turned her head to the door when the Queen addressed her. She put down Luna's dress and bowed to her mother.The Queen walked closer to Luna's bed. A warm smile automatically showed on her face as she saw how her granddaughter was soundly sleeping. A sudden flashback of Estrella's childhood lingers in her mind.Where did the time go?"She is so pretty as you are," she whispered, then looked at Estrella, "You're not planning to sneak her out later, aren't you?"The question was like a bomb that dropped on her heart. Her mother knows well how her mind works. She can't easily lie to her.She licked her lips, moving her eyes away from her mother's, "I... I can't let her live here."Queen Enid lifted her head up, but her eyes remained on the floor. It was like her entire soul burned if she was going to meet her fierce red eyes."Look at me," Queen Enid ordered.She had no choice, but to follow her. Unlike what she was expecting, her mother's eyes had no trace
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 08: Luna Roja
"LUNA!"The doll slipped from my hand when I heard Mom's shout from downstairs. I immediately ran towards my closet and hid there while biting my nails.I'm doomed. Mom probably saw the scattered cereal flakes on the floor in the kitchen.My throat dried as the familiar footsteps became louder and closer to my room. My eyes shut on their own when the doorknob rattled. The footsteps stopped, but a shadow was already standing in front of my closet."Luna, get out of there," Mom commanded.The light from my chandelier became brighter as the doors of my closet parted from each other. My eyes were glued on the floor, her aura was scary enough to stare more at her eyes."I'm sorry, Mom..." Only a whisper came out of my mouth.She bent her knees and moved my hair backwards, so she could see my face clearly. Mom gave me a warm smile while holding both of my hands, "Why are you hiding in your closet?"I bit my lower lip, "This is the first time I made a mistake..." My lips formed a pout, "I wa
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 09: Vampires
"Luna."I stopped licking my ice cream and saw Vico sitting beside me. His bruises and wounds are still visible."You still have your wounds and bruises. Does it still hurts?"He chuckled while shaking his head, "I feel better than last week." Vico slightly pushed the swing that we're sitting on, "You already know what bruises are. You're always calling it as 'purple patch'.""Yes. Mom told me.""Why are you here? The Boyz has an online fan meeting now, right?"My whole system crashed down as he reminded me of that event. Tears endlessly flowed on my cheeks. I was supposed to meet my idols, but dad cut off our internet connection. And worse? It's already been a week now!A WEEK!"H-Hey, stop crying! They would think that I made you cry," he tried to wipe my tears, caress my back... everything just to shut me up.But, I can't.I threw kicks while wiggling my head. Strands of hair were still stuck on my wet face as I gave him a death glare. His eyes showed fear when he saw me slowly sta
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 10: Unfold
"You're now in high school. Please, avoid causing trouble.""Mom!" I blurted, "I haven't caused any trouble since you gave birth to me!""Don't get me started, Luna." She shoved my bag on my chest with a bitter expression, "Just behave."When she turned her back to me, I made a face. She was always hot-headed these days. A little unusual creak or sound could trigger her and yell all day long about nonsense.Is she already in her menopausal stage? Isn't she too young for it? How old is my mom, again?Gosh, how could I forget my own parents' birthdays and ages?!I rushed downstairs. Dad slightly pulled down his laptop's monitor when he saw me at the door of the dining room."Come on, your breakfast is ready."As usual, it's a steak. They always wanted the rare one, and I like medium-rare more. Since I learned that it's their favorite, they seem weirder in my eyes. Their wine also. It has a smell like metal or something.But meh, who knows? Vico told me before that I'm weirder than my pa
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 11: Invitation
"What are your plans after class?" I put my notebook on top of Vico's and copied his assignment. "Not sure. Do you have anything in mind?" "Well," he slid his body on the chair, "Nothing either." "Then, let's stay in our own house." He just shrugged. I keep on writing and revising his answers for our biology class. Copying answers isn't my thing, but this one is urgent and I really need to pass this or my dad will scold me nonstop. Since it's a two-hour lunch break, only a few of us were left in the room. Most of our classmates went outside. There were actually around four who left here. Vico just bought a lunch for the both of us, then got back here immediately. He hates being in a crowd without me. All the girls kept on clinging to him or giving him tons of food that went straight to my stomach. Vico never ate food from his admirers. That's maybe rude to hear, but he almost died before from poisoning when he ate a chocolate from his admirer. Vico was really traumatized. That's
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 12: Research Paper
Write down. Crumple my paper. Search for articles. Aggressively tap the delete button. Repeat.Argh! This doesn't make any sense!What else could I search for regarding vampires? All these articles are not that accurate or have been published more than ten years ago– they're not acceptable anymore to be a reference.My fingers were typing randomly while I was thinking about what else I could do to finish this fucking research paper. I have no idea who has any ideas about vampires that I could ask.Fudge!Why is this so hard?!My stomach also started to get angry. I pouted while I was tidying up my table before getting my food downstairs. This is the first time I got hungry while doing school activities. This paper definitely makes me stressed.While descending, muffled voices are slowly being heard from where I am walking. As my feet stepped on the last step, Mom's voice became clear."This is the fifth time, yet we still can't catch them," she sighed and brushed her hand through her
