As morning birds chirped, Luna barely opened her eyes, still half-awake. Theia slept on her chest, her gentle cheek resting against Luna's dress.
Luna gently picked up Theia's arms and placed them to the side.
She sat up and looked out the window, rubbed her eyelids, and wiped the eye gunk out of her tear duct.
She sighed, resting her arms on the white duvet that she and Theia were covered under. Outside the window, past the tree branches, in between leaves, two small woodpeckers nuzzled together.
A wave of sick regret twisted Luna's features. She pressed her palms hard into her eye sockets, as if to push the memory out. Why… Why did I listen…?
I… Luna stopped as Theia crawled onto Luna's lap and hugged her stomach tightly as she muttered with a wide warm smile on her face. "Lunaaa~, good morning"
Luna slowly turned her gaze to Theia, She furrowed her eyebrows as they uncontrollably twitched up and down, corners of her mouth twitched as well.
What have I done? I'm sorry… I'm sorry. Forgive me, Theia
Tears welled up in Luna's eyes as her breath stuttered out and she thought one last time before hugging Theia's head with a smile, But I really liked it…
***
Luna grabbed Theia's hands and placed them to the side saying "I'll go now, you can rest still, so sleep more"
Theia blushed and covered herself under the duvet and muttered dimly from underneath "O-okay, but come b-back or I'll go to you…"
Luna forced a smile on her face and said "Okay!"
Ugh… I don't feel too good… Luna thought.
Turning away from Theia she stepped out of the room and walked into the kitchen, and looked to her right. A door, a wooden door greeted her. She walked up to them and knocked three times asking while fidgeting with her fingers, "Master are you awake?"
Immediately after, sounds of glass bottles hitting themselves echoed.
Right after that a thud to the floor echoed, rapid steps sounded as doors cracked open and Mytri filled the doorway, blocking the view of the room as he looked at Luna.
She looked up and immediately looked towards the floor asking "I-I wanted to apologise… for yesterday…"
Mytri furrowed his eyebrows as he rubbed both of his temples intensely, "I-I… Let's got to living room and I'll explain everything,"
A blush and smile grew on Luna's face as she looked up saying "O-okay!"
She slowly walked into the living room thinking Somehow I can't bring myself to hate anyone. I am just happy to hear that the Master doesn't hate me… But to think of it now, Luna frowned as she sat down on the brown sofa. Did I hurt Theia for nothing?
A small, barely noticeable smile grew on Luna's face. It felt really, really wrong to say, but… I liked it… But let's not do it again… hopefully.
Slowly Mytri shuffled his feet across the floor, as he walked up to Luna, He sat down in front.
She jolted in place as her eyes opened widely. What?
Mytri's eyebags prominently appeared underneath for the first time since Luna had come to live with him, his eyes looked tired, never before Luna saw him like this, his beard was unkept and his black hair was as well. It was the first time ever, Luna saw someone change so rapidly over night.
"Master, something happened?" Luna asked with worry in her voice.
Mytri groaned as he rubbed his eyes saying "N-no, everything fine"
With a groan he knelt before Luna and grabbed her tiny hands and said while furrowing his eyebrows "Luna, I'm sorry, I … I should not have done what I've done yesterday,"
Mytri closed his eyes tightly as his voice stuttered "I-I was detestable yesterday. I wronged you. I said that without thinking about you… I would understand if you'd start to hate me. The shame I brought upon you… was far too great… I should have never done that to you, a Lockheart…"
"No. To you Luna, I should have never done to you, Luna…" Mytri slowly opened his eyes as he looked up and he jolted in place, gripping Luna's hands adding "...Why?"
Luna was sobbing, her tears flowed like a river down her cheek, she sniffed repeatedly, struggling to keep her nose from running. Her hands trembled as she clenched her eyes while gripping down on Mytri's hands, "N-no, it's just… I-i realised something… nothing important,"
"I-I am happy, very h-happy, I was never mad at y-you, I can't be mad at you, you love me. How c-can I be mad at my family?"
Mytri lunged his hand forward and placed it onto her cheek wiping away the tears, Mytri frowned as his face contorted in sadness saying "I-I am sorry, I regret bursting that day"
Luna leaned into his hand asking "Why?"
"I will explain" Mytri said as he grabbed a cup filled with water from nearby the table and placed it onto sofa's armrest and from his pocket he took out a handkerchief and placed it into Luna's hand saying "Please drink water and wipe your tears, I'm far too horrible to be shed tears after, I don't deserve it"
As he said he walked towards a dresser as Luna muttered to herself while wiping her tears "N-no, you are as great as my d-dad…"
Slowly walking up to a dresser where a white lily was held in a vase, with red ink sitting by it in a bottle.
He opened the third cabinet and there was only one thing inside a small frame, he picked it up and flipped it revealing a Younger looking Mytri standing by and hugging a teenager,
The teenager had short golden hair and green warm eyes, Mytri brushed his thumb across the glass that held the painting safe and clean, and he smiled saying "You know, I had another disciple, he was once your age…"
A sound of coughing violently and the wooden cup hitting the ground, spilling the water inside.
Mytri's eyes flew wide with shock. He turned sharply to see Luna's hands, her dress, and the floor beneath her all covered in blood. Her mouth was contorted in pain, her eyebrows furrowed tight, and her eyes were screwed shut. "It burns…" she gasped, her voice a ragged whisper, a burning sensation overtook her back as she slowly tilted forward and then, she fell to the ground, lifeless.
