Demetrius-

Just a while ago, he was enjoying some sweet kisses with Luna. Now he's being punched by Saito. Why did Senna let this idiot in?

He already endured her lecture earlier.

After dealing with Sarah, he returned to the cabin only to be slapped. Senna slapped him so hard that she busted his lip. His whole face stung. He deserves it. Senna has the right to smack him around.

She was tapping her foot against the floor. Her hands were on her hips. That's the official stance of an angry mother. In this case, an angry Senna.

He sighed. "Alright, lay it on me." He sat on the kitchen stool.

She huffs. "That slap was for leaving without telling me. I had to lie to Luna about why you left. Tell me, exactly what did you do to that poor girl? Sarah?"

He looks at his feet. He couldn't look Senna in the eyes. He felt ashamed. "I didn't kill her if that's what worries you. I slapped her and left a scar on her. I was going to do worse, but Sarah is already suffering. She has some serious trauma. So I went easy on her." She tugs on his ear. "Ow. Ow. I'm sorry."

She let his ear go and glared. "Hitting a woman is wrong."

"I know," he said. "I'm sorry, I feel ashamed."

She sighed. "Does she know?" He knew what she meant. "Please tell me the girl didn't see you?"

"Hmm," he grimaces.

She gasped and paced back and forth. "You idiot, how could you expose yourself like this?" She smacked his arm. "You stupid boy. How could you be so careless?" She grabbed a kitchen cookbook and struck him with it. He took the hits.

He was stupid. He exposed himself. "But I doubt anyone would believe Sarah."

She sighed and set the book down. "Let's hope no one believes her."

"Right, is Luna awake?" She nodded. "Can I go see her?"

"Yes, I'll make us some tea; I need some tea and beer," she sighed.

Smiling, he ran to see Luna. He opened the door quietly and peeked his head in. She was there, awake. She still looks sickly, but she's alive.

"You're back," she sat up. It seems like she took a bath. She smells of soap. And her maple scent isn't mixed with blood or anyone else's. She's clean.

"Hey," he stepped inside and closed the door. He sat beside Luna and stroked her hair. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm in pain, but I'll live," she chewed on her inner cheek. Is she worried about something? "Um, Sarah? Don't hurt her."

The guilt was starting to eat him. "I didn't hurt her, not seriously; I only cut her a bit. And told her to leave you alone."

She sighed. "I knew it." She huffs. "I was worried that you had indeed killed her." He frowns. "I don't wish death on anyone. No matter how bad they are. I know Sarah is horrible. But she's hurting. I know she is; I wish she would tell me why."

Then, the guilt keeps smothering him. He knows why Sarah is misbehaving. But he can't tell her. It's not his secret to tell. If Sarah hasn't told anyone, she doesn't want to. Or isn't sure how to bring it up?

Still, Luna is too friendly.

"You didn't reveal yourself, did you?" Why did she ask to ask? "Oh, that look. Demitri, what if Sarah tells everyone? My brother will believe it, and he will hunt you down."

He grabbed his hands and kissed them. "Even if I get discovered, I'll fight for us."

"Idiot," she sighed.
