Loona the Caretaker

Eclipse the Hellhound

In a nice Suburb area in Hell (or their definition of nice), there was a black house with some human bones on the front lawn, but it was probably a hellhound thing since they craved human bones a little bit.

Loona, Vortex, and Cody as well were in front of the lawn, and they followed the large, burly, male hellhound to the front door.

"She's not going to eat me, is she?" Cody couldn't help but ask that question. "I mean... are those bones from people?"

"No." Loona smiled while rolling her eyes. "I mean... yeah, a couple of them are bones, but most of them are just from cows."

"Cows?"

"Yep." Tex clarified. "Sometimes, we Hellhounds like to go to the surface and eat animals while hunting. Cows, horses, deer, goats, pigs, you name the kind of big game we can get our teeth on."

"What about the bones?" asked the human.

"It's... urges." Loona admitted, looking slightly embarrassed. "I know, i know, it sounds weird because we are bipedal demons who talk."

"I'm not judging you." said Cody.

"I know." said Tex. "Never said you did, Cody." he opened the front door and called out, Eclipse, you in here?"

"Coming Texy!" a female voice called out.

Loona made a small cringe and her tail bristled like a frightened cat. From another room, a beautiful female hellhound with white fur gleaming under the light, the color of bone or snow.

Unlike Loona, her fur was completely white and no other color at all, and it reminded cody of a white wolf or an arctic fox (according to the season).

She had long, black hair as long as Loona's, or maybe even longer and was wearing some sort of two-piece bikini or lingerie on her.

This lady had the same red eyes as Loona, Tex, Crystal, and Serena do, and she was wearing sunglasses over them, but took them off seeing the company. "Hey Tex." she said, happy to see her boyfriend. She went up to him and gave him a small kiss on the lips, and the male hellhound did the same on her lips. Loona had a more cringey feeling inside of her, mostly because how she still can't have Vortex to herself because of what she would call a bitch or a trollop.

Alas; she didn't want to cause a scene in front of Vortex and didn't want to make him mad. She reluctantly decided to take one for the team, and let Vortex be her boyfriend. After all, he's one of the greatest friends she ever made (along with Cody, Serena, and Crystal of course).

No one can always have whatever they want, and Loona knows that too well. The couple stopped their hugging and Eclipse looked at Loona. "Hi Loona!"

"Hello E." Loona didn't sound so amused in meeting her. She had her arms crossed and looking unamused.

"You're not in a bad mood again, are you?" Eclipse sounded concerned.

"No, this is how I always am." Loona rolled her eyes. "You know I'm not one to always show my emotions, right?"

"Right." Eclipse remembered Loona saying that.

Cody's heart was pounding like the drumming of Metallicas' Lars Ulrich would play in many songs. Eclipse was in front of her and she hasn't noticed him... yet.

What made it a little terrifying for him was the claws on Eclipse' feet, looking as sharp as daggers. Yet again, he has known Loona for a little while now, and the claws on her feet are razor-sharp too, along with Vortex and he is like a living brick wall.

Alas, as long as Loona and Vortex were with him, he shouldn't be afraid of anything.

"So are you up for another party tomorrow?"

"Yep. Always up for a good time, girl. Make it heavy metal?"

"Always!" said Eclipse excitedly. "And Crystal and Serena will be in it too, right?"

"Always."

"Why are you in a bikini?"

"Just enjoying the pool." Eclipse said. "Trying to tan myself a little." she then looked at Cody with a surprised look, and it made the kid's heart pound even faster than before.

"Please don't eat me, please don't eat me, please don't eat me." he said in his head.

"Oh. Hello." said Eclipse warmly. "Where did you come from?" she knelt on her knees, right on the carpet flooring so she can make proper eye contact with him.

"Eclipse, this is Cody." said Tex.

"Cody huh? How did you get down here from the human world?"

"It's... a long story." said Cody. "But Loona helps me and I live with her now."

"Really?" said Eclipse before looking at the Goth hellhound. "I had no idea you can be so motherly."

"It's not like that. I'm just a... friend to him."

"She saved me from a fire." Cody said. "I would have died if she didn't save me."

"That's cool."

"Yeah. My parents... weren't so lucky."

A sudden frown appeared on Eclipse' face. "Oh. I'm very sorry to hear that."

"No, it's not your fault." said Cody. "And I know it's not my fault either. The fire just happened without letting us know."

"Right. Can I offer you a drink?"

"non-alcoholic?" Cody asked

giggling, Eclips, "Yes. I have non-alcoholic drinks too. Punch, sports drink, soda, apple juice."

"Maybe some apple juice would be good."

"Got it. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself, sweetie. I'm Eclipse. Vortex' girlfriend, but I think you already caught up on that."

"Yeah, I know. You're beautiful, like a white fox."

"Thank you. Cute, adorable, funny, and thoughtful. How can anyone not like this baby?"

"He would be a perfect roommate if we were all in college."

"Agreed." said Loona. "But College is just plain boring."

"Oh yeah, agreed. But I already graduated from that anyway."

"Don't you just wish you had a boyfriend like Tex, Loona?" said Eclipse with a kind smile, happy to have Vortex with her.

"You have no idea." Loona said in her head.
