Kisses Under the Moonlight Chapter 16
THE ABANDONED TEMPLE stood on top of a hill overlooking half of the town. Silence filled the air, which gave an eerie feeling. There were no movements in the trees growing on its surface as the wind had died. The moon peeked in the back of the four pillars that were left after an earthquake many years ago.A barrier stopped Xurden and Sebastian in the middle of the stair that would take them up to the temple. It wasn’t visible to the naked eye.“I understand now why the witch chose this place,” Sebastian commented. “The witch might have thought that you will not come here because this is a sacred place. She even put on an illusion to drive away people who want to climb. Now that we’re here, I can tell the sacredness had long gone.”“It’s good that you know. I don’t have to explain everything. You stay here. I am going alone,” Xurden exclaimed as he prepared himself.Sebastian turned his head immediately. “I’ll go with you.”“I’ll go alone. You’ll just be a burden. Stay on your guard.”

WAVES echoed into the shore as they crashed while the wind howled. The sky had cleared, revealing the full moon. There were no houses built along the beach.Xurden stood on the side of the road under the light post, waiting for his assistant. He fixed his eyes on the rough water with his mind wandering off. After he left the cave, he couldn’t stop thinking about the demon. He had a lot of questions about who the demon was. But he couldn’t find an answer on his own. That’s why he planned on searching for him when he arrived home. For now, he had a burden on his shoulder and that was the two friends lying down, still unconscious on the bench beside him. He would make sure the two wouldn’t remember Yric. He would erase him from their memory together with what happened on that island. It was better that way for them.He turned to the road when a bright headlight coming from the bent hit his back. After a while, the black car stopped in his front. Sebastian went out immediately, not closin

THE SILENCE broke into the car as they drove onto the quiet highway. Muffled shouts echoed from the trunk, mirrored with loud thuds. Yric turned his head at the back, worried for his friends because Xurden wasn’t saying anything to his assistant. He looked him in the eye and spoke carefully.“Please, can you stop the car?” Yric begged the man. “It scared them waking up on a trunk.”Xurden took a deep breath. It showed on his dropping shoulder. He raised his other hand for his assistant. Sebastian immediately pressed the brake with his right foot, looking at Yric with apologetic eyes. The moment the car took a halt, Yric quickly move out and ran at the back. He put his feet under the trunk to open it up. His two friends looked at him without moving for a second to know who he was. Fear was visible all over their faces. When they realized it was him, Vivian began bawling her heart out.“What’s happened?” Noah asked. He gathered his composure. He first went out of the trunk while Vivian

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD where Yric was renting a room looked dead at night. There was no single soul walking in the street, even though it was still early. Most of the streetlights didn’t work, there were only a few which were still alive, but they flickered every minute. He took the minor road going up the hill, passing the opened store.No matter how tight he hugged himself, he was still shivering in the cold. He lost all his things which he brought going to the island. He only turned when he felt someone following on his back. His eye grew wide when the lights from the store and the nearest light posts died one by one, leaving the darkness behind.He ran like there was no tomorrow and almost tripped on scattered garbage. Luckily, Yric picked up his own balance and went on running until he reached the foot of the building, where he rented a room. The apartment was five stories, which looked old even in the dark. He went in through the front door and pressed the elevator next to it. The el

THE DRIVE took them half an hour to reach the large house, hiding behind high walls covered with green crawling figs. The structure looked old from the outside and Xurden made it out of bricks. Windows were thick glasses and tall.Xurden spent millions to build a house that couldn’t be called home, even though he’s been staying there ever since the higher gods sent him to earth. The gate opened on its own the moment the car face it. Sebastian carefully drove the car inside. The house didn’t have a wide yard; the space was just enough for the car to pass through. Yric stared at the house like it was his first time seeing that kind of house.The car entered another door and took the hallway going down the basement. Xurden owned ten cars in different models, including the one he’s using. They lined up in two columns, taking most of the area below ground. Sebastian parked the car he was driving at the end of the line without bumping the other cars. The moment the engine died, Xurden went

XURDEN didn’t plan to go out, but he found himself on top of the closest building to where Yric was waiting. He could see clearly how Yric stood in the corner. Yric looked uneasy with his fingers fidgeting to his side. He even glanced from left to right to check on something. No one could blame the younger guy. The neighborhood where they were wasn’t a safe place at all, even though Xurden lives there. There were few sightings of demons but humans were dangerous also that could kill you anytime. It was easier for crime to happen there because the residents were rich. He couldn’t understand why Yric had to walk a couple of blocks just to pick up the delivery. He thought Yric was up to something, which was the main reason he followed him without revealing himself. Yric hugged himself as the cold numbed his skin.“How long is he going to wait?” Xurden complained to himself. “In what store he ordered that it took so long to deliver?”As he said those words, a bright light flashed from the

THE SKY outside had cleared as if last night there were no disturbances in the weather. It was also blue, but an air of melancholy was there dancing with the wind carrying thin clouds. Early morning sunlight slipped through the glass window, hitting on the black table of the office where Xurden sat quietly reading a book. He flipped a page after he reached the end of a chapter. His white shirt seemed to glow in the early light.A knock on the door didn’t stop him, his attention still glued to the book. The door opened after the knock and Sebastian peeked through the door without letting a foot in. Sebastian wore a colorful shirt that made his face a year younger.“What is it, boss?” Sebastian said, holding the doorknob. “Do you need anything?”“Check on him if he’s still alive. If he is, wake him up and tell him to come here. He’s been sleeping since the other night.”“Who?” Confusion wrote on Sebastian’s face.Xurden raised his head and threw his assistant daggers. “Are you really as

NOISE filled the public market that wasn’t pleasing to Xurden’s ears. People talked so loud and a few of the store owners shouted, even though they were close to each other. Consumers walked in different directions, checking up on goods in every store. The crowd made the day hotter than it was before early in the morning.Xurden waited for his assistant to arrive on the side of the road. Sebastian fetched Yric so that the younger guy could start observing them while they do their job. It has been an hour since he ordered Sebastian and they were not there yet. He was getting pissed off as another minute passed by. He didn’t want to use the door just to get Yric because the younger guy needed to learn how to move from one place to another without relying on anyone. People passing by looked at him, but he just ignored them.He was about to call Sebastian when he finally saw them walking toward to where he was. Yric was walking beside Sebastian, half awake. The younger guy was even brushi
