Moon

Chapter 12

"Moon! Moon!" I heard someone calling me from the outside of my coffin. I was planning on ignoring the annoying voice, but I had to wake up anyway, I felt too hungry to sleep. "Yes?" I asked after I opened the coffin. "It's 10:00pm. You slept really late," Virgo said. I just stared at her. "Why are you telling me as if it really matters, dusk begins at 5:30 right?" I asked.

Virgo rolled her eyes. "I just wanted to see if you were alive, and you need to feed," she smiled. I rolled my eyes back at her and got out of my coffin. I brushed my teeth, took a bath and got dressed. I decided to wear a royal purple tube top dress made of velvet, with black tights, black army boots and a black jacket. When I was decent, I walked out of my room and faced my coven.

"So, what are you doing awake so late?" Virgo asked me when I reached the living room. "Must have been dreaming about humans," Tristan said just before sipping blood from a cup. I glared at him. Virgo and Tristan were the only ones who knew I snuck out to bars, Virgo the only one who knew about Hunter. "Maybe I was dreaming about humans, just know I wasn't dreaming of you Trist," I laughed. The room filled with chuckles.

"Children, stop you're bickering," Ember smiled and joked as she entered the room holding hands with Logan. I embraced her, and then I walked over to Logan and gave him a tight hug. I really treated him like he was my blood brother and more importantly, Logan he treated me like his baby sister. But that could be because I'm the youngest in the coven. "The youngest ones always get attention," I remember Virgo telling me that, before I came, she was the youngest.

"How are you love?" He asked. "I'm okay," I smirked up to him. "Moon you are turning into a beautiful vampire, more and more each day, but you look a little paler than usual, what's wrong?" he asked. "I just need to feed," I said smiling and looking into his eyes. I didn't lie, I did need to feed, but I also missed Hunter, even though I was with him not too long ago. My sleeping late and not feeding was done on purpose, so now I had an excuse to go out and see him while out to feed.

Tristan had been right I had been dreaming about humans. I was dreaming about him. His brown hair and blue eyes made butterfly's flutter in my belly, and if I didn't know vampires didn't have hearts, I would have thought I had one, because something inside me was beating... thumping for Hunter. I was feeling something I hadn't felt in a long time, since...since Julian. "Okay, make sure you do so," Ember said interrupting my thoughts. She headed over to sit down on the couch in the living room. I could smell lavender all over her, and I smiled at the calming scent.

.Ember had asked what everyone had been up to. One by one, my "brother's" and "sister's" answered her. Vampires don't walk among the living, but it doesn't mean we don't live. Lots of Vampires work at night and online; they have hobbies and live sort of the human way.

In my spare time, I design shoes. Virgo and I own a shoe shop in London. We don't do it because we have to; we do it to maintain some sort of normalcy. To sort of blend in, and keep busy.

"We will also soon be leaving this place, and returning to London, some of the family wants to get together there," I heard my Ember say. I zoned out from the rest of her speech. I automatically thought about Hunter, I didn't want to leave him. This is what Julian hated, always moving when told to do so, not on his on will. "That is all for now children, unless any of you have anything to say?" She asked looking at each one of us. Nobody said anything. "Okay then, that's all for now," she smiled while getting up.

I walked out of the room, almost in a speed walk to my room. I looked in the mirror to asses myself one last time before going out to see Hunter. "You're going out to do more than feed, aren't you Moon?" Virgo asked walking in my room. I didn't look at her. "Have you been seeing that guy again?" she asked. I didn't answer. I didn't want her to feel like I was betraying her or the family. "I think you should stop Moon, I don't want you to get hurt," she said rubbing my back. "I won't," I assured her. "I know I shouldn't see him, but I want to, it's like I need to see him again," I said honestly. "Just be careful, I don't want anything bad to happen to you," Virgo said hugging me. "I haven't felt this way about anyone since Julian, it's so strong Virgo, this feeling... I don't' know exactly what to do," I admitted. "If he were vampire, he'd be a choice for your consort?" she asked. I nodded my head yes. She nodded her head in understanding, "Do what's in your heart, but seriously be careful," she smiled. I smiled back at her and headed out into the night.
