BLOOD

Talking to the Moon

She knew what she has to do, but

just for tonight, would it harm them if she would give in?

--

She asked him to have a seat.

"What is it that you want to discuss with me?"

'Discuss? Is she this formal?' Anyhow, she allowed him to stay so staying he would.

"Why don't we get to know each other, like how two normal people do?" he answered.

"And why is that? Is it necessary?"she countered. She knew she was making it difficult for him, but she has to be firm and draw the line.

He took a deep breath. She was tensed and he understood.

"You were so nice last night."

"You were sick last night."

Hmmm. She's trying to intimidate him but ended up being cute.

Sigh.

He likes her more now.

Yue was eyeing him suspiciously.

"Your smile is so creepy, Wang He Di."

"Excuse me. You have to be glad you saw my smile."

He could see her hiding her amusement. And failing.

'She's not hard to please.'

--

As they start to eat the goodies he gave her, she was still clueless as to what they were going to talk about.

He looked at her somberly.

"I just want to take my mind off from what I am about to do. My life may not be that happy, but humanity is not something you just throw away."

This made Yue curious.

"Why participate on the selection if your heart is not one hundred percent sure?"

"There are things in life that I have to do even if I don't want to."

She pursed her lips.

There were things in life that were given to you, and you really do not have a choice.

Like how they didn't ask to be born Chiropterans.

But Wang He Di has a choice. However, in the end, he still do not have much say on his life?

"Luna's lead guard is a as good as her lifetime partner. If you're having doubts, how could you protect my twin with your life?"

He turned serious.

"I will protect her with my life. I have prepared myself for the turning, but it doesn't follow that I can control how I feel about it."
