"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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    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

    While I'm fixing chapter 2 of my research report, Vico asks curiously, "What have you searched so far?"He cocked his head to look at my paper. I had to push his head away because it was nearly covering my laptop with his head."Researching things about them doesn't actually require much of my time or effort.""Why?""My parents, it turns out, were also mildly preoccupied with vampires; they provided examples that were just like those in articles," I shrugged.My fingers stopped typing when Vico gently moved my laptop's monitor down, and my eyes started glaring at him. He already has a habit of interfering while someone is working on something essential."Your parents?" he clarified, I nodded. "So, Venice wasn't wrong at all?"I gave him a sour expression. How could he enter our home illegally only to utter those absurd comments? He rocked himself while glancing away from my glares and curled his lips into a tiny line.Our maid handed us two plates of lasagna and two glasses of juice,

    LUNA'S POVThe scent of fresh baked bread flooded on my nose as my feet stepped on the stairs. That kind of smell was not normal in our house, knowing that I'm the only one who enjoys bread in this house.All the maids were standing on both ways after the staircase. They were smiling widely at me while the puck between my brows got deeper.What the hell is happening? The sun just rose up for them to be this weird.My jaw dropped when the realization that we had more maids than I thought hit me. When you measure the end of the staircase to the door of the dining area, it will be more than ten feet long.Wow. Our house has never been this huge for me until now.The smell of bread got stronger when the doorway of the dining area was just a foot apart from me. Our very first maid, who also stood like my parents, approached me holding a paper bag."Ma'am Luna," she greeted. The corners of her eyes suddenly became red, her lips were trembling."Why?

    Everyone in Sangre Kingdom was mourning the loss of King Joseah. Many bawl their eyes out, some silently sobbing, and others were just staring blankly at King Joseah's tribute.As the Red Moon's Blast ended, Queen Enid and King Javier were the ones who moved to prepare King Joseah's wake. Following their tradition, they closed the Kingdom and only the residents of the Kingdom could come to his wake. After three nights, they opened it to the public, and many vampires from other Kingdom thronged.Sanguis decided to take a rest after greeting and welcoming the guests for so long. He found his wife, sitting and staring outside the window where the moon could be seen. He sat beside her, Estrella sighed deeply."Almost four days," she started. Estrella's eyes couldn't take off from the shining crescent moon. "It was almost four days since we left the other world. I'm worried about Luna," she stated in a low voice, almost a whisper.Sanguis pulled her closer and hugged her tightly, "We can go

    Random muffled voices registered in my ears. My eyelids were still heavy, but I forced them to open. The pain slowly crawling in my whole body as I was trying to lift it up towards the headboard.My eyes landed on my right when someone moved. A smile formed in my lips when I saw how cute Vico was while sleeping. He looked so tired and haven't slept the whole night."Oh, you're awake." An unfamiliar voice said from my right.I turned my head to her and smiled when it was a nurse, "I just woke up.""How are you? Do you still feel some pain in your body?" she checked-up while fixing my IV."A bit."She smiled and write down something. She peeked at Vico that was still sleeping near my thighs.The nurse quietly giggled, "You're so lucky with your boyfriend. He almost punch one of the nurses here because he thought no one cared about you when he run you here. ""He did what?!" My eyes widened. I was shocked that he assumed that Vico was my boyfriend, but what made me more shocked was the t

    The girl on the left instantly bowed her head, as well as the other girl on the right. The guy in the middle remained in his position, staring at me. His brows furrowed when the girl on the left reached his head and forced him to bow his head to me.I stepped backwards while waiting for their next move. Why do they keep on bowing their heads at me? Am I someone who is supposed to be respected?"Welcome, Princess Luna." The girl on the left beamed when they raised their heads.My eyes widened while pointing to myself, "Me? Did you call me 'Princess'?""You're the daughter of Princess Estrella and Prince Sanguis, aren't you?" The girl on the right asked. When I didn't answer her, she pointed at my neck. "Only royalties have glowing marks on their necks during Red Moon's Blast like yours.""Huh?"I got my phone and used it as a mirror. The hair in my nape stood up when there was really a mark on my neck and it was glowing red. Since when do I have this kind of mark?"By the way," the gir

    "What happened on your kingdom, Sanguis? Why did they do such horrible things?" Mila blurted.The whole warehouse enveloped in silence. No one dares to speak nonsense things, Mila was never been this mad about the mission. She was expecting that Oscuridad was their only enemy. How come that Luna kingdom pushed themselves in this situation?Sanguis moistened his lips, "I'm also clueless as you are. However, my two sisters were pretty sure involved here.""We're really shocked when we saw the arrow marks on victim's skin. We never expect that Luna kingdom would do that," Honey added.Estrella leaned her head on Sanguis' shoulder and held his hand to comfort him. She knows that this was so hard for her husband.

The thing I did that day was still a mystery for me.My chest felt so tightened when my schoolmates pushed me towards the spotlight I never wished. They put me on an unfamiliar stage, even our eyes never met, their stares were enough to make me sweat cold. Gosh, why are their eyes so heavy?"Luna? You're shaking, are you okay?" Worry is visible in Vico's voice. He held my hand and squeezed it to help me to calm down."Their stares were so heavy." He barely heard my voice."I'm here."Until we entered our room, those stares never left me alone. Instead of torturing myself by thinking about what I'd done that day, I buried my face in my bag.

How was he?""Fortunately, their school medic ran him here immediately, so we could medicate him on time. If he wasn't, he could be placed in ICU now. By the way, do you know where his parents were?

I smacked his hand and rolled my eyes at him."No need. I can ace the examinations with or without reviewing," he smugly said.I laughed and said, "Huh, good luck, then," before turning away from him.He was so conceited, ugh! I honestly don't know how or why I became his friend. For me, he was only a headache.Vico pursued me and kept making fun of me till we came to our floor's corridor. As I enjoy making fun of him, a gaggle of girls suddenly block our path.As soon as I recognized their faces, my brows wrinkled. They were the girls who were ready to offer Vico a gift, but Venice told them something that caused the girl in the middle to stab me in the face.Vico kindly urged them to relocate, "Ah, pardon me.
