Sun & Moon Bites

Sun & Moon origin story part 2

Moon yawned and stretched smelling vanilla flour and cinnamon, Moon then grabbed some leftover bread and quickly left for home.

Moon hated sleeping at work because he then worried about Sun all the while but it was the only way to be safe from whatever has been killing the town folk at night since no one knew what it was and no one loved to tell about it.

As he made his way home he noticed something off, as he walked into the back yard where Sun usually was working on the garden he only found garden tools not put away in fact they were in a pile.

Moon bit his lip nervous thinking the worst then took a deep breath 'ok ok maybe Sun forgot to put them away last night and is sleeping in or he is taking a break' Moon though to himself. Then he heard the creaking walked over to the sound and Moon saw what was and gasp seeing the door wide open with bloody hand print on the door followed by more drops of blood with foot prints leading into the woods.

Moon whimpered "Sun...you didn't" Moon ran in the house frantically looking for Sun, but found nothing not even a note.

Moon grabbed one of Sun's pillow held it tight and sobbing "why, why couldn't you stay inside Sun" Moon sobbed.

After Moon was done sobbing he eventually fell asleep, only to wake up with his headaching he found Sun's pillow still in his hands which made more tears fall.

Once Moon got up he eventually made himself some oatmeal though as he sat down at the table with his meal he sighed looking across the table at Sun's empty chair "what I'm going to without Sun?" Moon said as if Sun were there "we have been through so much together and I... I never imagined to go through life without you in it" Moon said then looked down at his oatmeal "even eating without is difficult" Moon said taking a bite of the oatmeal which despite the honey Moon put in it tasted bland to him as if it was paste.

After he was finished Moon didn't bother washing the dish he merely left it on the table. Moon then went out to the garden and dragged a chair outside and sat on it and merely stare out at the crops.

Moon sighed 'Sun would've been tending to the fields now' he thought to himself. Moon looked at the plants 'Sun has been watering these so well too, I remember we even got those expensive seeds' Moon thought with a sad smile tears coming back to his eyes.

After a moment or two, Chica the local baker came by holding up Moon's hat as she came in the garden "hello Moon you forgot your..." Chica gasped seeing the garden tools scattered everywhere and blood on the door "Moon, what happened?" Moon turned away from her "Oh... Chica... I-I wasn't expecting you here" Moon said wiping the tears from his eyes.

Chica looked around "Moon, where is Sun?" Moon whimpered at Chica merely saying Sun's name "S-sun...um... Sun he" Moon barely got a sentence out before sobbing once more.

Chica quickly ran over and held him dropping Moon's hat on the ground "oh it's ok dear" Chica said patting his back "but don't worry Moon you'll find someone else" Moon then shoved Chica hard making her fall on the ground "ouch, what was that for?" she yelled but then Moon yanked her up almost off the ground "don't you dare call Sun 'replaceable' " Moon hissed then he shoved her again pushing her out of his and Sun's yard.

Chica sighed looking more annoyed than worried "well you have to move on eventually Moon, because once people disappear in this town they don't come back" Chica re-adjust her dress and hair  then walked out of the yard but before Chica officially walked away she turned towards Moon "oh I almost forgot to mention this, since Sun has been... you know, you are welcome to taking today and tomorrow off" Chica then walked away, with Moon giving a low growl.

Moon knew she was right about that, 'no matter how hard I deny it I know Chica is right Sun won't be coming back' Moon thought sadly to himself feeling tears prick his eyes.
