Change of Heart

Chapter 24

It's been about two months and me and Marco have gone on so many adventures and we fought monsters almost every other day. And right now both me and Marco are walking towards our math class.

I sat down on my desk and immediately got bored. I placed my head down and started thinking about random stuff.

I was so deep in my thoughts that I came back to reality when I saw the desk in front of me floating in mid air. I soon saw a pair of black dress shoes and I looked up to see that it was my ex boyfriend Tom.

He was wearing black sunglasses and had a big grin on his face. Tom took off his sunglasses and he looked at me straight in the eyes.

"Hey Star I'm here," Tom paused for a small second and extended out his arm and a red crescent moon showed on his hand. "To take you to the blood moon ball."

I could feel everyone's eyes glued on me and Tom. After I realized what he said I got up and grabbed his wrist and I was pulling him out of the classroom. I could hear him talking but I blocked him out.

"Oh he's cute." I heard a girl say. I looked over and saw her. "He's not cute, he's hot!" I heard her friend say.

Tom. Cute and Hot you gotta be joking. I thought to myself.

Hey dummy, you went out with him. So don't you go saying he's not cute and hot. I heard a small voice in my head.

"Why are you giggling Star?" Tom asked me and I was about to give him a response when finally I saw his carriage.

"So Star what's your answer to my question."

"Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope." I pulled out my wand and opened his carriage door. "You need to leave right now. Take your carriage and fire and dead horse and go back to the underworld." I told him and pushed him into his carriage.

"Wait, I'm dead?" Tom's dead horse asked us and we didn't give him an answer. I started to walk away but I heard his voice again.

"Oh, come on Starship." Tom said. "It's the blood moon ball!" And within 2 seconds I was in the air and landed on his lap. I looked at his face and he had a grin on his face.

"It only happens once every 667 years." We were both in the air and he dipped me and looked at me straight in my eyes.

I quickly got off him and looked at him. "We broke up!" I said in a mad-ish tone. "Period!"

I started to walk off but he grabbed my hand. "Wait, wait, wait, wait. Star, hang on." Tom said and I turned around to see him. "I'm a changed man, okay? I've got a life coach, Brian." Soon a fat chubby man holding a pink bunny poked his head out from Tom's carriage.

"Hey." Brian greeted me.

"He's awesome." Tom pointed towards him. Tom grabbed the pink bunny and showed me him. "A happy bunny."

"And, and, I have been anger free for 53 days." He showed me a red button pinned on his shirt.

"53?" I said out loud. "Don't you wanna pet my bunny?" Tom asked me. "Well, he is adorable." I leaned in to see the bunny more closely.

Soon enough I saw a hand chop off Tom's right hand and the bunny dropped to the floor.

"Back off, demon!" Marco said. "Marco!" I said surprised. I saw Tom and he was holding his right arms and his eyes quickly turned red. "Oh, no." I said to myself.

Brian got a hold of Tom and he was saying, "Walk it out and talk it out."

"Uh, you better run." I grabbed a hold of Marco's hoodie and I was pulling him back.

"Oh, no, no, no, no. Ha ha. No, no. Oh ..." Tom started to calm down. "Oh that's why I got my support system. I'm good. Got the angries out!" Tom said as he reattached his hand back. "Everything is - hoo - under control."

"Marco don't karate him. This is ... Tom." I told Marco, even tho Marco already knew who he was I retold him just in case he forgot.

"Demon ex-boyfriend Tom?" Marco said surprised as if he didn't know who he was.

"Nice to, uh, meet you, Marco." Tom said shaking Marco's hand.

"What is he doing here?" Marco asked me. "He wants to take me to the blood moon ball."

"Star, never go with a predator to a second location." Marco told me.

"Look, I can see you're mad. You think I'm a total jerk. I get it, but I have changed." Tom said and walked towards me. "Remember, I'm not the only one with horns." Tom pointed at my horns. And I felt a small smile growing on my face and it quickly dropped the second Tom's dead horse talked.

"Why didn't you tell me I'm dead?" And once again we ignored him.

"No pressure. If you decide you want to go, just toll this bell." Tom gave me a small bell. He was about to leave when he quickly told me. "Oops, almost forgot the little hammer." Tom handed me the small hammer and gave me a smile. "I hope I see you there."

And just like that he left and I was left standing there holding the bell and hammer and a sad frown on my face.
