The Luna's Mate

Lunch

(Lilliana's POV)

       I pull out two skillets, bacon, eggs, cubed potatoes, and ham. I cut the bacon and ham. I split the potatoes into the two skillets and wait for them to cook for a little while adding in seasonings. When those are done I put them all into the biggest skillet. I make the bacon, adding it in.

        I move on and cook the ham. Adding that in too. Finally I make the eggs. When there finished I put it all together, mixing it up. I put some on two plates and put one in front of Aries with a fork on the bar. I go to the fridge and pull out some orange juice. I pour two glasses then go sit by Aries. He takes his first bite of the food. He closes his eyes and moans loudly.

         "That is so damn good! You are an amazing cook." He sighed in contentment.

          "Thanks, my mom taught me.... Um... I've lost my apatite. I'm gonna just go." I get up and dash to the door. I barely get two steps to my car when a strong arm wraps around my waist and picks me up. Aries walks to the living room couch and sits down with me on his lap.

           "Baby, look at me. Your mom and dad loved you. I'm sure they did. They wouldn't want you to do this. They'd want you to celebrate the fact that they had 6 wonderful years with you, not morn there death for 11 years. You got to let them go, love. Or you'll never truely be happy again." He says, kissing my tears off my cheeks.

            "Your right. I know you are. But I just miss them so much." I sob into his chest.

            "Shhh. I know, love. I know. But you gotta let them go now. There your past, I'm your future, this pack is your future. Hold onto the hope that everything will be ok." He whispered to me.

              "Will you come with me? There's some stuff that I still have of there's. If I'm gonna let them go. I want to burn them." We walk to the garage and I pull out the box that held their things. We go to the back heard were the bonfire pit is. I start the fire and open the box.

              "This was my dads favorite shirt. He wore it the day I was born, and every year for my birthday. He said it was the happiest day of his life because his favorite daughter was born. He always made me smile. He'd take me wherever I wanted to go. Get me whatever I wanted go get. I was his mini me. I was exactly like him. When I burn this. I'm letting go of you, but I'll never forget. I love you daddy." Silent tears leak down my face as I toss the shirt into the fire.

            "This dress was my moms favorite. She wore it when she took my sister to get her first dress. They always had a bond. Almost as strong as the one I had with my father. My mom love me too. I wasn't like her, but she loved me none the less. She always used to say, that me and my sister were the perfect siblings, because we balanced each other out. When I burn this, I'm letting you go, but never forgetting. I love you mom." I toss her dress in the fire.

            "My sister and I had matching tutus and shirt. Hers was white, mine was black. Like my mom said, we balanced each other out. We were like yin and yang, you can't have one, without the other. Even at young ages, you could tell which one we were. She was the angel, while I was the rebel. She could never lie, or go against orders. I was always getting into trouble with the boys, or pulling some prank. I burn this in the memory or my sister, my other half. I love you, Isabelle Rose King." I dropped the outfit into the fire and watched. Silent tears continued to stream down my cheeks as I watched my families clothes burn.

          Aries wrapped his arms around me, resting his head on my shoulder. "Why don't we go finish our lunch now, yeah?" I nod my head. He grabs my hand and leads me back to the house. We sit down and finish eating in a comfortable silence. I don't think I could be any happier.
