The Eclipse Mark

Chapter 28

I lay awake at night thinking of the general.
Ava. What did she have against me? Why did she hate me?
I try to shake it off but I couldn't.
This is stupid. Just one general that doesn't like me. It's not the end of the world.
I sigh, this was going to bug me for a while.
I walk out of my room and to the kitchen. I pour myself some coffee and sit down.
Noah sneaks up on me and scares me.
"AH! Noah!"
He laughs at me.
"Couldn't sleep?"
I nod my head.
"You?"
"I heard something in the kitchen, thought I should go investigate."
"Oh, sorry for waking you up."
"Nah, it's fine. I don't mind talking to you, you're a good person to be around."
"Ha, thanks."
We were quiet for a while before Noah drags me away.
"This is starting to become a habit."
He laughs and smiles at me.
He drags me out to a field.
"You need to get some fresh air every once in a while, you're always cooped up in that tent."
"We literally just flew on our dragons for a whole day."
I roll my eyes at him.
"Still, you need to get outside more."
He was right, I was always trying to think of ways to weaken Lucifer, take down his army, reclaim a kingdom, I rarely saw the sun anymore. (Same tbh)
"Yeah... probably."
We talked throughout the night, it was nice. I hadn't had a lot of free time lately, perhaps this is why I was so quick to go.
"We should probably get going now, I can see the sun rising."
"Yeah, yeah. But before we go..."
"Yeah?"
He grabs my face, kisses me then runs away.
What
The
Frick
"NOAH!"
Needless to say, I looked like a tomato.
I sat down for a while, my head was spinning.
I had to make sure I wasn't dreaming because let's face it, it's not everyday your crush kisses you. Also, frick him for running away before I could say anything. It might not sound like it, but I was over the moon. That meant that he liked me, right? Or he was on drugs, but I put that option to the side.

When I got to the castle, I headed for Noah's room, he wasn't there. I didn't continue looking for him, I had other things to do anyways.
I got on Storm and headed to the army camp.
There, I found a ongoing battle. How did they find the camp? How long have they been fighting? Who was winning?
I fly down and the first thing I see is a angry general running towards me.
"WHERE WERE YOU? AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING? I HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU ARE THE LEADER OF A REBELLION! YOU SHOW THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT MY KINGDOM! IN FACT, I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!"
She kicks me away and leaves while I crumble to the floor.
She's right, you shouldn't be the leader of a rebellion. Just hand control to Chelsy, permanently.
...
Really, nothing. Ha! She really doesn't need your help. Just leave
...
Noah doesn't care about you, that kiss was nothing. He ran away for a reason.
Be quiet, please.
Tears dripped down my face.
Pathetic.
"Luna! Are you okay?"
"Noah..."
