*LUNA'S POV:
"You're going to tell him, aren't you?"
"Of course I'm going to tell him, Mom. I. . . I just don't know how or when. I mean, this is his life─our lives─on the line here. I don't know what to do."
"Let's let your grandmother calm down first. A lot of things just resurfaced for all of us, especially her. If she has time to think this through again, maybe a solution will pop up. This isn't something that can be rushed, I guess."
"Do you really think it's true? Our family is possessed?"
She pursed her lips and looked down at the hands resting in her lap. "I. . .though it may seem crazy, it would explain a lot of things."
I nodded and leaned my head on her shoulder. "I'm scared, Mom."
"I know, baby. We'll figure out something so nothing has to happen to either of you. Go to bed. You look exhausted and need to rest."
Trudging up to my room knowing I wasn't going to be sleeping tonight, I noticed the sound of multiple vibrations coming from the phone I had quickly left behind earlier. Glancing at the screen, I saw messages from Zoie and Eddie. Zoie's were simply asking of my whereabouts and if she could come over sometime, which I agreed to. Eddie wasn't what I expected.
Eddie: Today was fun, my darling.
We should do it again sometime.
Eddie: hey sorry, I had a long ass dream we were on a date and I texted you that afterwards haha. I guess I texted it in real life. I almost slept the whole day!! these meds are wild
─aha! I'm about to pass
out in a little bit xo
─I want to talk to you
about something tomorrow
come over please
Eddie: okay? will do.
Goodnight darling!
Trying to fit everything into this new mindset of Noken, I thought about it. Eddie must've been held back from his senses after Noken took control of his body. He doesn't know what he did, simply thinking it was a period of sleep. Just like all the other times. . .
I tried to fall asleep, I really did, but it seemed impossible with everything on my mind. Thoughts screamed, making peace and quiet a thing of the past. I kept worrying.
If I didn't kill Eddie, he'd kill me.
If I kill Eddie, the Munson family loses a beautiful member, I lose the love of my life, and I have to live with the fact that I was the one who killed him; or vice versa. What was I supposed to do? I'm eighteen years old! Picking a college was difficult enough and now I'm required to make a decision like this? What did I ever do to deserve this? All my life I vowed to live by kindness, respectfulness, and happiness. Now it's the reason why my life is in danger? The sole reason why my boyfriend is possessed by a demon? It doesn't make sense.
So I ended up sleepless the entire night. How am I supposed to sleep? Figuring a shower might help cleanse some part of me, I stripped from my clothing and hopped in. Not quite sure how long I spent in there, but by the time I was done, my body was numb from cold water spilling from the spigot. Something as simple as brushing teeth became a hard task to focus on considering I swallowed my toothpaste and mouthwash. Today was going to be lovely, I mumbled sarcastically as I walked down the hallway. After almost falling down the stairs as well, a familiar voice I thought I'd regret hearing called from the bottom of the steps. MeMe?
"Luna I was wondering when you'd wake up. A little earlier than I expected. Come, sit down. Your mother is in the bathroom." she answered.
"Okay," I said, hopping onto one of the bar stools.
