Moonlight // XXXTENTACION Fanfiction

Chapter 25 - Stressed Out

::Andromeda's POV::

I was feeling worse than ever. Not only did I falsely accuse my best friend of getting me abducted, but I also got her abducted and she didn't even do it. That means there's some mystery person out there that's been keeping tabs on me. Maybe one of Carlos' outside operatives. The thought of being watched for God knows how long without knowing it made me feel sick.

"You okay, DeeDee?" Paris spoke.

"Somebody's been watching me..." Saying it out loud illuminated the feeling of uneasiness. "Carlos knew me before he abducted me." I felt lightheaded thinking about how creepy and unsettling that was. Second later, I dropped to the floor, my body shaking uncontrollably.

"What the fuck is happening?!" I heard Ski panic. I faintly saw 2 figures kneeling over me that I could make out as him and Paris, one figure was standing, which must've been Jahseh. I couldn't tell because my surroundings slowly faded to black, like the ending of a music video, and my hearing slowly went mute.

"She's seizing!" Paris shouted. And that's the last thing I remembered from that night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's a tall man. Very tall. Rich in melanin. Muscular. Long dread locks. Structured face. Beautiful. Beside him is his queen. Also melanated. Smooth skin. Long legs. Head full of coily auburn hair. Beautiful. They sat in thrones with crowns on their heads. From what I could feel, they had... abilities. They were Netherryn.

I peeked from behind the door of which I was hiding to see everyone else in the room. Goosebumps formed on my skin when I saw how beautiful this colony was. I didn't think I'd ever find a people that were so energetic yet calm. Confident yet humble. Firm yet gentle. Peaceful yet ready. There were spears in everyone's hands. Along the perimeter of the wall lay a bunch more weapons. War weapons.

"Queen Ojaia, we are prepared for this battle. We realize that our people are lost on a different planet, and some are being held hostage. We are ready to bring our people back together, no matter the cost." Spoke a man at the front. He was the head of what looked like a Netherryn army. They were dressed in tribal attire.

The Queen stood.

"Very well, then. We've waited long enough. We will move out in a few months." She ordered.

"Yes, Queen!" The army responded. A loud war horn sounded and it scared me. I screamed and jumped backward and lost my balance. They all must've sensed the commotion coming from the furthest corner because they stopped and turned their attention to my direction. I hid, hoping they would resume and not mind me, but the King's voice bellowed.

"Who is there!" I immediately unconcealed myself and stepped out where they could see me. Gasps, murmurs, and weird looks came from the army. I shied away from them and kept my eyes on my feet. They were all dressed for war and I had on a baggy t-shirt and sweats. Slightly embarrassed, I made my way to the King and Queen.

The King stood.

"Who are you, child? And how did you get here?"

I was scared to speak, but it would be insolent to not respond to a king.

"I'm Andromeda... And I don't know. I think I'm dreaming."

"Dreaming?" The Queen said. She took a good look at me and it made me wish I were invisible. She stepped down from her alter and made her way to me. She kept her eyes fixed on me as she circled me, basically sizing me up. After she made a complete circle, she stood in front of me. She was about 6 inches taller than I was and extremely intimidating. I couldn't bring myself to look her in the eye.
