Loona the Caretaker

Under the Moon In Hell

Cody was looking at the reddish moon, thinking about all that has happened to him in recent events. From the fire, to his parents' death, to meeting Tommy again, to being with his new friend in Hell.

After all that has happened, Cody, while still traumatized, was getting more acquainted to being down here.

He's made some good friends since he lost his own parents to that tragic event. Maybe good friends can come from the most insane and out-of-place regions of the Earth. While he wanted to remain with Loona, Cody couldn't stop thinking about Tommy, and he hoped that he can see his big brother one of these days. For now; he can enjoy being with his closest new friend down here under the earth. Cody had his hands behind his head as he was reclining on the balcony outside the apartment flat.

Faint sounds of car horns honking were heard every once in a while in the valley below. Normally, the child was used to seeing the black night sky while in the living world.

Down here, the sky was still black, but it was reddish instead of blueish in color. Not to mention the moon was very pale red while it was full. "I'm glad to have met Loona," he thought in his brain. "Yeah. But I hope mom and dad know that I'm alright while they're in heaven."

It was no surprise that he was still thinking about his folks right now. After all, a child's body with his parents is one that can be special and inseparable, depending on how close they are.

Loona was texting Vortex, telling him thanks for helping her get Cody out of Verosika's clutches. She really wished that Vortex was hers. After all; what was not to like about that gentle giant?

Despite this, she went to her room and couldn't find Cody anywhere in the flat. "Cody?" sue said, starting to worry a little. For a moment, it looked like she was about to suffer a panic attack from losing her new human friend. She was about to freak out, but she didn't want to lose her composure, especially since Blitzo was in the residence. That; and she almost forgotten about her very keen sense of smell like all canids or in this case; canine-like demons would have. Yes, Loona can smell any target she wanted to kill or any friend she wanted to be with for at least ten-thousand miles. A very intriguing gift for a Hellhound to possess in their lives.

"Relax Loony," said Blitz, taking some bourbon with him from the fridge. "The boy's at the patio out there."

"Alone?" Loona asked, sounding a little worried. "What if a fucking Onoskelis snags him from the sky?"

"Oh, that's crazy talk for fuck's sake." Blitz nodded his head sideways while chuckling. "I understand that you're becoming a mother to the kid, but-"

"What?" said Loona, interrupting him. "Don't be stupid. I'm not a new mom to him. He's just... my friend."

"Ok, ok." Blitz said. "sorry."

Loona just rolled her eyes sideways, looking annoyed. "whatever" she simply said before she waved her right hand as she turned around and went out in the patio.

She opened the glass door and sat next to him on the second recliner. "Hey, whatcha doing out here?" she asked him.

"Just... thought I'd look at the moon." Cody said. "It's beautiful out here at night. Even if it's not a full moon." he crossed his hands behind his head again in relaxation.

Loona smiled at him. "good. You cold?"

"No. I'm OK. besides, I thought it's supposed to be very hot down here?"

"Well there is a cold ring in hell, with nothing but a bunch of snow and ice. Many demons can't handle that kind of cold, but Hellhounds like me can."

"Because of the fur?"
