binded souls

chapter 4

Star Butterfly POV
It's Saturday morning, and my neck is pretty sore from the jumping around the gym.. Where I won prom qu-
I sprung from my bed and threw my covers over to the side. I slid across the floor and see the crown sitting on my heart shaped dresser.
My hands reached for it while I picked it up. it was a smallish crown, not tall and thick like the ones I wore on mewni. It was also just a plastic crown. but it meant I could win something!
I threw on my teal dress with the little pink ghost on the front (so cute!) and headed downstairs.
Mrs. Diaz and Mr. Diaz went to an art show in town early that morning, apparently from the note left on the counter. I was halfway done with my cereal till marco was slowly walking down the stairs in his "blue jam jams" like a zombie.
"sta ar what is.." He yawned "going on?"
I looked at his bed head and laughed "I'm just, super excited! that's all" I say, cramming another spoonful of sugar cereal
he sits down and puts his arms on the table "about what again?"
"I'm calling my parents about me being prom queen, duh"
marco squinted "oh yeah, the whole reason why you ran"
I cleared my bowl and left it on the table while grabbing Marco's cereal for him
"star where did you last put my phone?"
I turned around "on my drawer"
he nodded, and I threw the cereal across the room to him. It hit him on the head and he fell over.
"Sorry!" I shout from running up the stairs
I entered my room and grabbed the crown, I pressed the button to call my parents on the mirror wall.
they answered.
"star? Is that you?" I heard my mom call out
"yes it's me! Hi!" I exclaim, I also see my dad next to her through the mirror.
"We've been expecting a call from you. Did you get your wand?" My mother asked me
"yes I did, but I have someth-"
"star" my dad said "we need to talk about an important situation"
I held my crown behind me "but-"
my mom stepped forward "It's about the wand."
My stomach dropped "the wand?"
she sighed and placed her hands in front of her dress.
"star, the wand has been, cleaved." She said quietly "the other half is missing, and we need to get it back" mom looked up at me.
my dad cut in "the wand functions differently, now without that other half. The threat of its power being gone forever has grown" he said.
I quietly dropped the crown behind me on the floor
mom shifted sideways "we know about.." She looked at my dad "the blood moon ball"
I curled my eyebrows "what? How did you find out about that!"
"glossaryck, told us" my dad replied "your book was open when you were talking to that boy you live with"
I slammed my hand on my forehead "ohh geez. I.. it wasn't"
my dad interrupted "we had to ask him to tell us everything he knows. It's our business star"
My hands are warm, sweaty. And nervous.
"when you went to that ball" my mother continued "did..did you dance under the blood moon light?"
My eyes widened, and that gave a sure hint to mom and dad I did.
"who was it? Who did you dance with?" My dad asked me. while my mom put her hand over her mouth.
I sighed "I don't know details? It was months ago. I haven't thought about it since then!"
mom looked at me with a worried look "star, just. Tell us who you danced with"
"well I don't consider it danc-"
"star!" Dad exclaimed
"marco" I let out a breath "marco, pulled me under the light after following me to the ball to get my attention" I looked up at them "he didn't trust Tom"
my mom looked like she was going to faint.
dad stared at me "the boy of the house your staying at? A human?" He nervously laughed and looked down "thank goodness it wasn't with the demon.."
I nodded, but confused "what does that have to do with the wand?"
my mom got herself back "star, if your wand wasn't destroyed, I'd be furious right now" she closed her eyes "but, it is, and this is the only way to fix a cleaved wand."
I looked at her, still confused
"when you danced under that red light, your souls were being binded. for an eternity" my mom continued "your wand is your soul. It's your personality tucked into one thing. if your soul was not binded with someone else's, well.." She looked down "the wand would be completely broken"
dad twisted his fingers "what your mother is trying to say is: that boy your soul is binded with? he is the answer to fixing the heirloom."
this is crazy, this whole thing. they're making it up.
my parents can tell I'm going to have a panic attack. so my mom tries to get my attention
"star" she called out "the other half of the star must be here in the mewni dimension where ludo's castle use to be, somewhere in the ruins. It should be glowing green"
I lifted my chin, still trying to process this, and heck how do I explain this to marco?
"why g-green.." I slowly ask
"that marco boy is from the earth dimension, it's a green planet." My dad replied "as soon as you put the star in place and hold the wand togeth-"
"together?" My voiced got higher "you mean, he holds it with one hand and I hold it with another? isn't that extremely dangerous? especially with someone from earth?"
"it won't be, both of your souls split and fused into one" mom said calmly "the wand will only notice one soul. It's the outcome of the wand design that will be a bit. different."
my head was spinning with so many questions "different outcome? Like what?"
my mom snapped her lips apart "oh I don't know. I don't know! These things only happen every 667 years and I'm just learning my daughter's soul is not her own anymore and-"
my dad put his hand on her shoulder while she dug her face in her hands.
"star, you need to find that half of the wand, and when you do. you have to do it together" my dad said quietly.
my mouth was slightly open while nodding, the mirror shut off. call end.
