Security breach: Sun and Moon

Return to the daycare

Moon and Sun start twitching again. Zaps and crackles fill the air. A few electric sparks fly here and there. "What have I done?" I gasp. I grab some towels from the janitor's closet and carefully try to fix the damage. I fall to my knees as I realize that they truly never meant to hurt me. Whoever is controlling me has caused them to act this way. I bury my face in my hands as a sob. A few minutes pass before I hear a voice. "Callie? Are you alright?" The voice belongs to Moon. I look up. Moon is peering down at me. Sun is too. I quickly stand up. "I-I. I thought I had killed you guys or something I'm so, so sorry!" I blurt out. I erupt into more sobs because I still can't quite comprehend what has happened. "Aww. Sunbite! Don't cry!" Sun puts his hands on my face to wipe away my tears. "But-" I begin to talk. "Callie, really it's fine. We're okay. We're still here. I don't know who's trying to control us but it's their fault. Not yours." Moon reassures me. I lower my head in shame. Moon crouches down to my height and kisses my cheek. "There. All better?" He asks. I give him a weak smile and nod slightly. "All better." I say.

(TW! Slight talk of self-harm)

* * * I let Mon carry me back to the daycare. "Well,we better hide out here for the rest of the night." Moon says as he lowers medown. "Ooh yeah! And drink Fizzyfaz till our heads explode!" Sun exclaims. Ilaugh. I roll up my sleeves because I'm getting a bit hot. I look down at theinjuries Moon gave me. They don't hurt anymore, just there. I continue to stareat my other past scars when Sun looks at my arms and frowns. "Callie?" Sun asksme. "Yeah, Sun?" I respond, letting my hair down. "Why do you have scars on your arms?" He asks. The question surprises me. I look down at my hands andarms. I swallow hard before speaking. Now even Moon looks at me, waiting for ananswer. "Well... my family life isn't ideal so-." Moon interrupts me. "Callie, we get it. Say no more." Moon walks to his room. Sun gives me a worried look. "Oh, Callie, do they hurt?" Sun asks. I give off a nervous laugh. "No, they don't.But I'm fine! Don't worry about me. Really." I say. Moon returns to us. Inotice that he has band aids in his hand. He applies some on my arms and says, "Pleasedon't anymore." Moon hugs me. His eyes flicker to blue heart mode. I nod inagreement. Now I have to stop. For Moon. I give a small smile as a questionoccurs to me. "Hey, how come you guys aren't evil anymore?" I ask. Sun and Moonponder this question for a while. "Well, I think the water friend off whateverconnection the person who tried to control us had." Sun concludes. Hm. Seemslike a logical answer. I check my watch once more. 4:50 am. Almost 6:00!  "Callie, I'd also like to apologize for scratching your arms. I... didn'tmean to." Moon tells me. "Aw, Moon, it's fine. It was just a scratch." I tellhim. "Still. I'm sorry starlight." For just a moment, I get butterflies in mystomach when he calls me starlight. I don't know why and shake away thefeeling. "Say, Callie! You know all about us but we don't know much about you!Tell us!" Sun says eagerly. "Um. Okay, well, I live with my mom and I have acat. That's it" I say. Sun scooches over closer to me. "Come, sit down," hesays, pointing to his lap. "Tell us more! What's your cats name?" Sun asks. Iclimb into his lap and sit down. Even though he's an animatronic, it's actuallyvery comfy to sit here. "My cat's name is Twinkie. I'm being homeschooled andwell... like I said my family life isn't the best." I say. Sun looks down at me."That will soon change soon, my sunflower. Now that we're here." Sun tells me.I smile and stand up. "Thank you, Sunny." I reach my arms out for a hug. Sunperks up at the idea and gives me a tight squeeze. I yawn, tired after all theaction that has happened today. "Oh, are you sleepy?" Sun asks me. I nod yes."Okay then! Moon, here, take Callie." Sun picks me up and transfers me toMoon's arms. Moon heads over to where naptime takes place. He settles me downin his lap. He turns off the nearby lights. "Comfortable?" He inquires. "Yes."I reply. Moon gives me a warm smile and his eyes turn to blue hearts. "Moon?" Iask. "Yes, my starlight?" Moon responds. And there go the butterflies again. Igot to stop feeling this way when he calls me starlight. It's just a cutenickname he has for me. Still, it doesn't stop me from blushing. "Uh... could yousing me to sleep? Please? You know I love your voice, Moonie." I say to him. Ican see the blue in his eyes intensify. "Yes, Callie. I'd love to sing foryou." Moon begins to sing in his clear melodic voice. I close my eyes and justlet his voice transport me to a place I wish was real. I soon fall asleep.
