Ancient War

Sudden Explanation

( Luna leaves the next morning. Three weeks pass after the dinner and Luna forgot all about it. Her mother and father call constantly, but she leaves their calls unanswered. Her work time increases and she barely notices anyone.)

( She is at her office working, when a stranger opens the door.)

" How may I help you?"

" I am looking for Luna Fire."

" That's me, but what's the problem?"

" I am here to say I'm sorry."

" Who are you? If you don't have a case for me, then please leave. I don't have time to waste."

" I guess the misunderstanding changed you completely, Luna."

His words confuse me, but I can't let that happen anymore.

" Since you don't have a case, I ask you politely to leave."

" Luna, forget about your job and remember me."

" Start by saying your name then."

" Damon Salvatore, your first and only boyfriend, I'm sure."

The memories of the happy times return and I feel truly happy for the first time in a long time. He changed and he's still handsome, but he also hurt me and I can't let this meeting change anything. Making a serious face, I focus on getting answers and not make myself fall for him again.

" Damon, why are you here? Why have you changed your appearance?"

" I needed to leave without being recognized. I'm here to explain why I was cold with you."

" Not needed, Damon. You liked Karin and that's it. Now please leave."

" Luna, I'm not going anywhere, until you answer me a question."

" What?"

" When was the last time you turned to a kitsune?"

" Close the door and we'll speak in private."

He nods and locks the door. He sits in front of me and looks at me with sadness.

" Now, Luna, answer my question."

" Three years is your answer. Anything else you need?"

" But why? You were good at the magic."

" I belong as a human and that's what I am. You may enjoy tricking people, but I need to be perfect at my life."

" You are a kitsune and I never liked Karin. What made you avoid me back then?"

" Really don't remember? Well, I saw your kiss her and saying the attacks were all planned by you two. That's why I avoided you and you have no reason to be here anymore."

" Luna, it was to ----"

" Enough, Damon. I answered your question. Now please leave. You are not going to mix my life up again. I managed to keep going and forget you. I don't need your explanations. It occurred in the past and that's all I got to say."

I am trying to hold back the tears and look at my paperwork. He suddenly stands up and walks to where I am. I try to move back, but I'm soon backed to a wall. He corners me and doesn't leave me room.

" Damon, back away and don't enter my life again."

" No, Luna. I came to explain what happened actually and I'm not going now."

" You explained everything. . . . what more do you want?"

" For you to be truthful, Luna. Are you happy now?"

" Yes, I am. I got my life how it should be."

" Then say you don't love me."

" I don't love you."

I'm sure he will back off, but he only kisses me. I'm surprised and the pain returns. The bad memories are less than the joyful ones, but they still hurt. I push him away and he looks at me surprised. Tears drop, but I ignore them and tell him one last time.

" I said to go away, Damon. I already said that I don't love . . . you and I meant it. Now, leave because I got work to do."

" I won't give up, Luna. You're trying to not be happy again, but there will come a time where you'll need me close."

I look away and he slams the door, as he leaves. The door opens again and it's my secretary.

" Are you alright, Luna? Who was that man?"

" Someone who can't enter my office again, Jacky. He can't enter this office and he can't leave a note or anything. Are we clear?"

" Yes, mam."

She leaves and I lock the door. I sit back down and let the tears drop once more. The memories won't stop coming and it's hard to stay focused. I quickly calm down and unlock the door. I apply makeup to cover my red eyes and try to focus on my work.
