The New God of Demons [The Promised Neverland]

Chapter 36: Goodbye Krone [REWRITTEN]

~~~~~~~~~~

[•3rd POV•]
It was 1:38am, and Luna is still awake and in her default form. Not that it's something new, she doesn't need sleep anyways, and it was tiring to be human. Right now she was just going over her plan for the escape, and what happens after that. She can let Greeny take charge of Goldy Pond since he's smart and analytical, after that... She should probably just—

*Knock knock knock*

The knocks on her door snapped her off her trance. She turned to the door with a calculating gaze, her eyes glowing red as she saw through the wall. She didn't sense any danger, so it was fine, the silhouette is a big give away anyway.

She flicked her hand and the door unlocked, letting the person in.

"So, what can I do for you, Ray?" She asks without moving away from her notebook.

"Just paranoid, couldn't sleep." The emo replied bluntly as he tread towards the bluenette's bed to lay down, the female humming in acknowledgement, it wasn't the first time Ray would come over and sleep on her bed anyways.

There was a comfortable silence after that, the writing's of pencil on paper the only sound heard and the tick tock of the clock.

"You know... Sister Krone could expose your identity if Emma asks about what she said at tag." Ray pointed out as he moved from staring at the ceiling to the bluenette.

Luna stopped writing for about a full minute before going back. "It was only a matter of time, she would have found out either way." She replied nonchalantly, to which the emo hummed.

"... Are you escaping with us?" He asked, this was something he had been thinking about the most since Luna had revealed her identity to them.

"....."

"Luna...?"

"*Sigh* No, you should know this Ray. I can't escape with you guys, I'm too dangerous—"

"You're not dangerous Luna."

"— and I still have my position to uphold." The bluenette ignored his comment as she finished.

"You don't have to force yourself."

"I'm not. This is the only way to make sure those dumb higher ups don't do anything stupid."

"But—"

"RAY. I promise that I will come back, just, not when you guys are still on the run."

"But how will I know when you'll be coming?" The emo asked worriedly, to which Luna sighed and took something out of her drawer, standing up from her seat and making her way to her bed where Ray laid.

"Here. Open it on your birthday, okay? After that, make sure you NEVER take it off. It'll protect you and everyone else once you're outside." She said as she gently took Ray's hand in hers and open his palm, putting a small black box on it and closing Ray's palm again.

The emo stared at the box in confusion then at Luna's beautiful red irises then back to the box, but he nodded nevertheless. "Okay." He agreed, making Luna smile warmly at him.

"Thanks Solnishko." She cooed.

"You never told me what that means you know."

"Because I want you to find out yourself."

"Tsk, you're so extra sometimes."

"And you love me that way." These words made Ray blush hard, like a red tomato, while Luna just smirked victoriously with her sharp canines showing off, though Ray wasn't bothered one bit.
