Moon Maiden

Introduction ?

"Who are you, and why do you drink the toilet water ? That's dirty. And how can you enter my home ? I am genuinely confident I have locked the front door." I asked her calmly. Turns out the culprit was the young lady that I met last morning, and she looked terrified, she started to snuggle under the sink. Her eyes were scared, her bodies were trembling, and I guess she had the power to rip off my sink with ease. Knowing that might be the issue, I told her," Hey, come here. I don't know you yet but you might be feeling a little bit cold."

That... Didn't went well. She started to scream and you guessed it, she ripped off my sink with ease. I sighed. "I haven't paid this month's rent, and she just ripped off my sink ? boy." Not long after, she started to run inside my home and bumped everything in sight. My camera, my laptop, my coat hanger, my college homework, everything's messed up. Her wet bodies didn't help either. "Oh come on, I just mopped the floor. In fact, I just cleaned this entire home by myself."

I scratched my head and then, "OY, THAT'S MY ONLY TELESCOPE !! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH IT !!!" Too late, she already bumped it. My telescope fell off my balcony and shattered into a million pieces. I couldn't believe what was happening and my patience level is already to the moon. "OK, THAT'S ENOUGH !! COME HERE, YOU !!" I yelled at her.

She was surprised and somehow just stopped running. She then walked toward me and just... hugged me ? and cried on my shoulder ? I tried to get her hands off my shoulder but I couldn't. Not having many choices, I asked her, "What happened ? Why were you so scared ?" Oh boy, she just cried even louder, I even got a call from my neighbor to be quiet. "Come on, if you can't tell me yet, just please lower your voice. You made the neighbor angry." And luckily, she did.

She did calm down, but she still was not letting me off her yet. "Mind letting me off ?" I asked her, and she answered with a grunt. "Okay okay. Do it as long as you want." Right after I said that, she let her hand off me and sat on the floor. I took this chance to turn off the water that goes to my sink because, Good Lord, my bathroom flooded.

Then, I boiled some water for her. " Do you want tea or coffee ?" I asked. She didn't respond. "Well, tea is coming right away. Now I need to find my melamine cup." The water boiled, the tea was poured, and she just... drank it right away. "Wait, hold on, that's still very.... Hot."

As I thought, she was in pain. I don't know for sure, but I think she burned her tongue. "No, please. Don't cry again." I told her. Well, she cried anyway, but not as loud as before. I gave her chilled water and she drank it all again. And, thanks Lord, she stopped crying.

After she drank the chilled water, she was yawning and just went to sleep on the floor. And just like that, she slept through the night like a baby. Me ? I went back to sleep on my lovely sofa again. "I'm gonna clean up the mess in the morning."

In the morning, my alarm didn't go off because it was broken by last night's chaos. I woke up and saw her still sleeping on the floor but shivering because of the cold. I looked around for a clean blanket but everything was wet. "This robe, it must be hers." I spoke to myself softly.

I took the robe and covered her. "It should make her comfortable. Well, no time to waste. Since we are on the day off, let's just start cleaning up."

I took my roomba, turned it on, and let my roomba be a roomba. I took my mp3 player and played my favorite song., " 'Voctave moon river', it's so calming, and I can sing the bass part." I started cleaning right away.

"Moon river, wider than a mile, I crossing you in style someday...."

The young lady heard the song, and she woke up. "Good morning, young lady." I greeted her. She just glanced at me and continued to stare at the wall, like a baby when hear something pleasing for them . "You like this song ? I like it too. It's calming, isn't it?" Still, she just glanced at me and continued to stare at the wall.

While I'm cleaning my college homeworks, my roomba sent me a notification because it sucked an object that was too big for it. "Oh, what's happening." I checked my roomba and found a pendant with a meteorite necklace stucked. "Whose pendant is it ?"

"Hey, is this pendant yours ?" I asked her. At first, she just glanced at me. But then, she jumped, took the pendant, and jumped around happily. "So that's yours, eh." She looked so happy, and then she turned into me. "Do you perhaps not know how to wear it?" She shook her head. "Well, I'm not gonna make it kinda romantic or weird, but you can wear it on your neck." She didn't understand. "Okay, give me the pendant."

She handed me the pendant. "Don't move and please, close your eyes" I took a deep breath, "Just for you to know, I have venustraphobia. So, please forgive me if you can feel my fast paced breathing." My heart and my breath goes racing. "Ok, here goes nothing." As my hand moved closer to her, I could feel my hand trembling like an earthquake. "Just a little bit more." I clip the connector. "There you go."

She opened her eyes, touched the pendant with her right hand, and suddenly hugged me. "Thank you for founding my pendant." she said. "Without this pendant, I cannot communicate nor understand to other people beside my people. "

"Ahh, so that's what's happening." I replied. "Wait, if you didn't understand me earlier, how come you can replied to all my questions before ?"

She released his arms from my body, and did a single clap. "It's a long story. By the way, it is rude for me to not introduce myself to someone I met, especially someone who's helping me on my journey on earth. My name is Moona Hoshinova, a moon maiden."

And that's it. That's the start of my bizarre adventure with her. The college student tandem with a moon maiden on a journey across the earth, what an exciting premise.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to ask. Because this is a boys room, do you mind wearing my clothes ? your clothes are soaking wet because of last night's chaos."

"OK, sure."
