I am the Fire

Chapter 6

They finally got into the plane. Sodo stayed close to ShadowMoon to be sure to sit with her. It didn't go unnoticed by her.

"Would you mind to sit with me during the flight?" She asked not looking at him. She knew he was right behind her. Warmth betrayed him.

"No, I don't mind." He said looking at the back of her head. Pretending he doesn't care. They took their places and waited for take off. Didn't even exchange single word. That silence between them was pleasent for both of them. Even if Sodo had milion questions in mind, that wasn't the time. ShadowMoon just enjoyed his company. Even that they started with misunderstanding, she felt that he's the one that makes her comfortable. Not a big suprise, she spent most time with him. When aircraft finally took off and seat belts could be unfastened, they both relaxed. Not long after that ShadowMoon fall asleep. Sodo looked at her and smiled.

Sodo's POV:

I looked at her she was sleeping and her head was falling into my side. She looked so peaceful, last events must have been exhausting. I placed my arm around her and pulled her closer so she could lay her head at my collarbone. Not that she needed it, but for sure she was more comfortable that way and I could feel her. I relaxed a bit also. Started to think about a plan how to reach her. I remembered our talk at the airport. My bursting into anger didn't do anything good. Except one thing, it finally came up to me that it wasn't mistake. She tried to be strong and it was something I admired. The way she asked if she shouldn't accept the offer wasn't pitful attempt to get a pity or regret from me. It was serious. She wasn't afraid to face me after that. She waited when air would be less electric between us and than she asked. She's smart. Another thing to admire her for. She fascinated me. She was smart, brave, calm. And beautiful. Damn, how beautiful she was.

3rd POV:

Flight wasn't long, so after about two hours they were in Stockholm. Sodo gently patted ShadowMoon's arm and she woke up immediatly. She sent panick look at Sodo, realising that she slept on him and even more panick when she saw that he had his arm around her.

"Och Satan, I'm so sorry!" She said panicking that she invide his personal space. Knowing that he's not happy with personal touch.

"Hey, hey! That's ok, it's fine. You fall asleep in very uncomfortable position. I'm sorry if my arm frightened you. I just thought that you'll have better sleep that way." Sodo said taking back his arm off her. "We've landed so I had to wake you up." He said getting up slowly to give her time to fully awake.

ShadowMoon relaxed a bit when he told her that's fine. She got up and followed Sodo. The rest of the band just got out and waited for them. Copia asked her if everything's alright.

"So, welcome in Sweden dear. This is our home. I'm sure you gonna like it. Now, we're waiting for a car to take us to the Church. It's not that far from the airport. I'm sure you're tired." He looked at still a bit sleepy face standing before him and smiled. "Sodo, can you please make sure that our newest member is fine and comfortable before she'll get to her room and rest?" He asked with suspicous smile. Copia was well aware about that sweet situation in a plane and he did know for sure, that his little Fire Ghoul never, ever would ask to take care of anybody if he'll not really and already care.

"I'll make sure that she's fine." Sodo said looking bored. As much as he can. He didn't want to scare her even that he already knew that she's not easy to scare. Just didn't want to look like he's hanging over her. Copia turned on his heel and let the two be. Just few minutes later he gave a sign that they can move and the car is waiting. Sodo put his hand on the back of ShadowMoon's back and they walked into a car. He made sure that they sit together and when everyone were in, they took off to the Church.

When they arrived ShadowMoon was excited. She looked out the window to get better look. It was beautiful. Forest around the property was old and Church itself looked majestic. And felt so sinful. And cold. They all looked relived that that finally reached destination. They took their luggage and waited for ShadowMoon at the big doors. They all looked excited to show her around and weclome her. She felt like she was home. Even that she didn't step a foot inside. They all were so cheerful and happy that if there was anything she was worry about, it disappeard in that moment. Sodo stood behind her and watched closely how she'll react. He saw that light on her face when she stood at the door with rest of the band, happily talking to her. He left a bit behind to give her space. Finally they opened the doors and they all got in.
