She's not the chosen one, she is the cursed one. His curse and his redemption.

"No, we can't" my breath hitched as his thumb traced my lower lips making the world around me spin.
"I'm your mate Luna, you are m...

Without even me realizing, I started walking towards those amber eyes which reminds me of a Lion. Perfectly toned body with a tiny bun on the top, if not for his dress one could easily mistake him for a king.
The moment our eyes met, I felt myself melting into a puddle of warmth, feeling like I'm finally home.
Should be something to do with me being a temporary human. But that doesn't mean I accept gift from strangers, I hate to owe people something and receiving gifts make me feel like I owe them something.
I already owe those spirits my life since I was born from their sacrifice.
"I'm sorry, I cannot take this," With a stern face, I gave it back to the stranger.
He flinched at my reply but hid it well before he gave me a gentle smile. "I don't mean any harm. I heard that little girl's conversation too. I wanted to help her, what would a man do with anklets," keeping his hands on his pocket he raised his eyebrows waiting for me to understand the rest.
He gave it to me since he heard how I couldn't afford it. I'm not a charity case for God's sake. I don't need an anklet if this is how I'll get one.
"No thankyou stranger," I shoved the anklets back into his hands and started walking. I felt footsteps following me. I know who it is, it's the same stranger with amber eyes.
"Hey, I'm sorry if that came out offensive. I didn't mean it that way," he rubbed his neck looking at me with a frown.
"It's fine," I gave him a gentle smile.
It's strange how I didn't like the thought of this stranger being sad.
"I'm Lucas" he held his hand forward with a huge grin on his face.
"Luna" I chuckled shaking my hands with him.
The moment our hands met, I felt a spark but what stood out the most was his hands, they were dead cold. He is a vampire.
"You are a vampire" I gasped without even I realizing what I have done. "Your hands are cold; you surely can go for Edward Cullen" I laughed it out in panic.
'Dumb move Luna, he would've definitely heard you. Way to start your life as a human,' I cursed internally.
He chuckled making a cross in his chest, "Oh don't worry if I was Edward then, you'd be my Bella all safe with me."
I looked at him with a frown, I couldn't decipher if he is being genuine or sarcastic. For a second, I wished I had my powers but it's not worth sacrificing this heaven – human life.
"So, why are you here?" he asked me as soft as possible looking at me with his eyes full of adoration. I wonder why he looks at me that way, like I'm some precious artifact when in reality I'm just a killing machine.
Deep inside a part of me longed be looked like that. The way Noah looked at Sara, I miss them, I wonder how they are doing. Before I left, Sara's was unconscious, lying in the death bead. But Sandra, the head witch, forced me to go visit the warlock. Now I knew why, to give me back my freedom.
