Sold: The UnderWorld (Book 5)

Hard To Hate

Luna:

"Let get you out of here" Michael said. I followed him out the room.

"Are you okay, your not hurt?" He asked, his eyes full of concern. He gently took my hand in his.

"I'm fine, and what about you?" I asked, "he just attacked you for no reason!"

"Yeah, I'm okay. I am with you, all I need to feel good" he said, and kissed my hand. I leaned foreward to bring my lips to his. Just as I did so I heared the sound of wings fluttring, Luke was leaving. I broke away. 'Luke looked really pissed, like murderous-angry' I though.

"Don't mind him" Michael told me. He brought his lips to mine mommentarily distracting me. 'Was he okay. I almost feel bad. He did safe me from some of Lucifer's wrath, well I guess I almost feel bad' I thought. I felt Michael deepen the kiss, and his hands moved to my hips. I leaned forewards, and broke apart.

"I'm going to see if he's okay" I suggested.

"But, Luna-" Michael protested,

"He's dangerous" he told me.

"He saved me from being beat to death" I told him.

"For what, himself? I'm sure he had some reason to benefit himself" Michael told me.

"I know that, but... I just feel like I have to go talk to him" I explained,

"If you love me like you said you did you'll at least let me talk to him" I told him. Michael backed off, and I ran out the door. Luke stood outside, leaning against the railing.

"Luke?" I called, and there was no response. I walked towards him, and put a hand to his shoulder.

"Luke?" I asked. He spun around, and grabbed my wrist with a frightening grip. His eyes widened, and he instantly let go.

"Something wrong?" He asked me, his eyes were as cold as stone.

"No" I replied, "And you?" I asked. My eyes lingered on his hands which were blue. There was a tear in his shirt revealing the end of the blue colouring to his skin; it ended at his shoulders.

"I've been better. Is your um fang okay?" He asked.

"I suppose" I lied, my voice was even, perfectly hiding the lie. No the gums around the tooth was swollen, and the fang had lengthened more. Outside I was calm, and inside I was panicking about possibly loosing a fang. Luke reached out with one of his blue hands, but I recoiled.

"Your a terrible liar" he told me.

"Why would you bother heal me? What game are you trying to play with my head huh?" I snapped.

"I thought I could be better than my father and brother. I tried to-" he told me.

"Well I didn't ask for your charity you morron. Look what you did to your arms. Your an idiot!" I yelled at him. 'Well the hell am I yelling?' I wondered.

"I knew very well what would happen" he told me.

"Then why?" I demanded to know.

"Why did you bother to come out and talk to me?" He asked.

"I-I- to erm," I stuttered, "You, kinda saved me from your father..." I said.

"So you felt obligated?" He said harshly.

"Well I guess" I muttered. He groaned in frustration, and turned away.

"But I, ugh" I groaned. With vampiric speed I ran past, and back to my bed room. I raised a fist and smashed it into the stone wall. It made a dent. I shook out my hand, jeez it hurt. I sighed, why was life so cruel?

Luke:

'What the hell was wrong with, with me, with the world?' I thought.

"Luke? Sweety are you okay?" I heared Lady Arachne say.

"I'm fine mother" I lied. She chuckled,

"I'll say, your the one that's a terrible liar" she told me.

"What? I am not. I'm perfectly fine?" I told her.

"Luna just died" she lied.

"Your lieing" I pointed out.

"And you knew how?" She asked.

"Soul reading, mother I can always tell when someone in the family lies. Soul reading them is easy" I reminded her. She raised an eyebrow, and gave me the 'think about it look'.

'And you soul read Luna perectly' I realized.

"Archangels have a hard time adapting to their powers" she suggested.

"And so you think I'm an emotional freak?" I said.

"No, I think you talk to, and keep in mind of your temper" my mother suggested. She began walking away.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I'm returning home early" she explained.

"Father is going home. Am... Am I going home as well?" I asked.

"As far as I know yes" she told me before leaving. I smiled, it had heen so long since I'd been home, The UnderWorld.
