Y/Ns POV

Charlie changed the subject quickly.

-"So uh- how's looking for a job been?"

-"Oh, I just applied for a cashier at a grocery store, I thought maybe I'd start with something easy, then find an actual job."

Charlie nodded, then stood up.

-"Well, I just wanted to check in, I have a full day."

Charlie started walking to the door, and Sun got up and followed him. Were they whispering? I saw Charlie hand Sun something, but what? What were they hiding? Charlie left, and I heard his car pull out of the driveway. Sun went into the basement, then came back out after a minute. What was going on down there? I sighed, turning the volume on the TV up. Sun sat back down next to me, going back to watching the cartoons. I looked out the window, now that I wasn't looking at the sky, I got a good view of the surrounding area. It was a big open field around us, and then some wooded area, not creepy at all. I got up, walking over to the door that led outside. I heard the TV turn off and Sun got up, I went outside, walking a few feet in the grass. I sat down, looking at the sky. There was a nice, cool breeze, and it was rather warm out. This was really nice weather.

-"What are you doing, Sunshine?"

-"It's nice out, so I wanted to sit outside."

Sun came and sat down next to me in the grass. We both looked up at the clouds in the sky.

-"Yknow, a fun game some people play is where you look at the clouds, and say if they look like anything.."

-"Really?"

-"Yeah, you wanna know what else is a fun game?"

-"What?"

-"Tag! You're it!"

I tapped his shoulder, shooting up and sprinting away. He just sat there for a second, processing what happened. Finally he got up and started chasing me.

-"No running into the woods, Sunshine!"

I nodded, continuing to run in the open space away from him. I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe, I lost my balance, tripping and falling. I got a mouthful of grass, I pushed myself up slightly with my hands, coughing, trying to breathe. Sun dropped down next to me.

-"S-Sunshine?!"

I tried to say something, but it only came out as coughing. Sun looked at me worriedly, then picked me up in his arms, walking back to the house.

-"I think thats enough running around for today, Sunshine.."

I nodded, coughing. Sun brought me up to the bedroom, sitting down on the bed with me.

-"I'm.. Sorry.."

-"Stop apologizing, Sunshine! You didn't do anything wrong!"

-"It's probably annoying.. Having to carry me all the time.."

-"Oh not at all! It.. It makes me feel needed.. And wanted.."

I looked at Sun with concern, and layed my head on his chest.

-"I need you regardless.."

He started heating up, stroking my hair.

-"We need you too, Sunshine.."

Sun rested his head on mine, and I closed my eyes, falling asleep.

I woke up on the bed, my head on a pillow instead of Suns chest. The room was dark, it was dark outside now. I heard a zipping noise, and I looked over to see Moon zipping up the hoodie he wore last night. I sat up.

-"Moon?"

He looked over at me, squinting his eyes.  He walked over to the side of the bed where I was, he stroked my hair and planted a kiss on my head. He stood up and walked out of the room. I silently fallowed him, watching him go into the basement. I heard the door lock click, and I sighed. I walked to the kitchen table, going on my phone. After a while, I saw the basement door open. Moon leaned against the doorframe, holding his head.

-"Moon? Are you okay?"

He looked over at me. His eyes were purple.

-"What are you 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙥?"

I sat up, dropping my phone. I took a step back. Moon let out one of those creepy laughs, smiling and taking a step towards me. I backed up more, and he stepped closer. He had me against the counter, only a few feet away from me. I grabbed a kitchen knife out of a drawer, shakily holding it towards him.

-"B-back off!"

He lunged at me, taking the knife and pinning me to the counter. He put the knife against my cheek.

-"𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚, 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙖 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙪𝙥.."

I shrieked, slipping down and ducking under his legs. I crawled and got up, running out the door.

-"𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚.."

Running in grass barefoot is not fun. I ran, but tripped, catching myself on the ground. I tried to catch my breath. Looking behind me, Moon was running at me, knife in hand. I pushed myself up and continued running. I tripped a few more times, my legs, arms and lungs hurt. I started coughing, tears welling in my eyes. I ran into the woods.

-"𝘼𝙝 𝙖𝙝 𝙖𝙝~ 𝙉𝙤 𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙨~ 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙖𝙜.."

I kept running, the sticks and rocks on the ground cutting up my feet, I'm pretty sure they're bleeding now. I kept running, everything hurt so bad. I tripped, and my foot got stuck on a root in the ground. I tried pulling my leg away, but failed. Moon was approaching me with the knife. I got my leg free, crawling away, and I backed up against a tree. Moon walked towards me, raising the knife. I closed my eyes, bracing for the worst. I waited for the knife to be brought down on me, but nothing happened. I opened my eyes, looking up. Moon was just standing there, holding the knife, staring at me with wide eyes, the creepy smile gone. He took a step towards me. I shrieked and tried to back up more. He froze, dropping the knife. He fell to his knees, and tears started welling in his eyes.

-"Y/N.. I'm so sorry.."

I slowly started crawling towards him. I tried to take his hands, but he took them away before I could.

-"Don't! I don't want to hurt you.."

I frowned. I crawled closer and looked up at Moon. Tears ran down his face and he looked down at me. I put my hand on the side of his face, and he leaned into my hand, taking in a shuddering breath. I grabbed his face with my other hand and pulled him into a kiss. He seemed startled at first, but then kissed me back. He pulled away and hugged me. He picked me up in his arms and stood up, walking back to the house with me, sitting down on the couch. I layed my head on his chest, and he stroked my hair. I closed my eyes, and went to sleep.
