The Moonwitch (girlxgirlxgirl)

Chap 44; War drill

"You're a cute one"

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

Cassy wakes up to the sun blinding her eye. It shines through the glass windows and creates a calm, yellow light in the bedroom. Her hands drag over the covers as her mind is still fuzzy. All she can think about is how they forgot to close the blinds last night, leading the annoying but warm sun to wake her up so early. At that point there is no use to go back to sleep. Vampires don't even sleep unless they want to. Neither do demons.

She allows her red eyes to travel from the edge of the bed towards the pillows and her mates. The first thing Cassy sees is the calm and sleeping face of Vivy. Her attractive features are slightly hidden by the raven black hair that she has. Just like always, the demon is wearing nothing but a loose shirt that shows off her beautiful shoulders and collar bones. Her long and slightly muscular arms are wrapped around a smaller body, laying deeper in the covers. Cassy twists her head in silence, expecting to see Maryann's calm but cute face. The face that can change from cute to serious and from serious to deadly in a matter of seconds.

Instead of the usual slightly dark purple hair and sharpish features, Cassy gazes upon a face that she hasn't seen in a while. A slightly rounder bone structure, smaller posture and lighter hair. Small hands that claw on Vivys arms in her sleep. It's the face of Maryann's most innocent moon. Lily. The girl who's so innocent and pure, Cassy almost feels bad speaking to her. The vampire had not expected to see the moon today. The little Lily who rather stays inside someone's head than outside. The little moon who skips when she walks and asks quiet but innocent questions. The little girl who's heart is so pure, she would never hurt a fly. She's probably the only thing keeping Maryann and her moons sane. The only voice of kindness and empathy.

When Cassy watches them both shift in their sleep, she remembers what day it is. Training day, war drill. If they don't want to hurry they have to wake up now. Cassy leans over the sleeping little moon to reach her demon mate. The sleeping pleasure demon is easily awoken by her slight touches. Just like always, down for anything at any time. Cassy rolls her eyes, but there is a glint of endearment in her red orbs. The slightly shorter mate opens her black eyes and stares with a smug gaze at Cassy like always. Over the years Cassy has come to love her special ways to show love and appreciation.

"Wake up love, it's a special day today"

The vampires raspy morning voice sounds through the bedroom. Vivy blinks lazily and rubs her eyes.

"Training day?"

Cassy only points towards the figure between them, completely drowned up by the covers. Vivy looks confused for a second. The morning light and the coldness outside the covers make her shiver. Even though summer is extremely near, the annoying cold refuses to leave. It sticks to the walls and the trees, drops from the grass and flies with the wind. In the mornings when their bodies have been absorbing the warmth underneath the covers all night, the air in the bedroom is exceptionally chilly. Vivy shudders as her gaze wanders to the sleeping moon, whom she thinks is Maryann. When the cute sleeping face of Lily is laying there instead, she widens her eyes and finally understands what Cassy means.

"They must have shifted during the night"

Cassy nods in agreement to Vivy's assumption. Even though it hurts their hearts they know that they have to wake up the sleeping moon. She looks so peaceful, so calm. But there is no use. The earlier they wake up the more time they can spend together before the war drill.
