Echoes of the Void

Ch.2

That night I had the same dream I had in biology. It was like my mind wanted me to like Ramona. I wasn't sure if I should tell her about the dreams or not and I spent most of my morning trying to make up my mind. Finally, I decided during breakfast that I was going to tell her...

I walked through the doors of the school while looking for Ramona. I was half-way to my first-period class when I finally spot her. She was curled up in a corner, crying... quickening my pace, I made my way over to her, "Ramona? What's Wrong? What happened?" I sat down next to her and put a hand on her shoulder. She remained silent for a minute, then pulled up a video on her phone and showed it to me, "here..." The video was of Ramona fighting with a small fox over a blue and violet striped scarf. I stared at the video in disbelief, "Wait... how did a fox get into the school? Also, I don't see what the big deal is..." Ramona gave me a confused look, "Wait you can SEE her?!" I mirrored her look of confusion, "Um...Yeah, can't everyone?" She shook her head then proceeded to explain that the fox in the video was actually a demon and one of Ramona's familiars. She also explained that only a few dozen people are able to see demons like Shiri and only less than half of that percentage are able to summon and tame them.

After her explanation, Ramona showed me the comments on the video. Most of them were of people calling Ramona 'Crazy Girl' and this pissed me off! (There is No need for this!) I clenched my fists and grit my teeth. "Luna... You okay?" Taking a deep breath, I stood up and held out my hand, "Yeah, I'm fine, and honestly... you shouldn't let what they say get to ya' You're an amazing person and they are just jealous of your abilities!" Ramona looked down and could have sworn I saw some color on her cheeks. After a few minutes, she took my hand and I helped her up. She gave me a closed-eye smile which caused me to blush, " Thanks, Luna! You're right, I shouldn't listen to them!" She then pulled me into a hug, which made me tense up a bit before I returned it. A few people passing by started snickering. I shot them a death glare and mouthed the word 'What' They all had terrified looks as they rushed to their classes. I smiled and looked down at Ramona, which made me realize that we had been hugging for a little longer then we should have. Ramona must have noticed this too because she quickly pulled away and looked at the ground, "C-come on, let's g-get to class." I smiled and nodded, though I felt weird, almost like I didn't want her to let go. As we walked to class, my mind wandered to my dream. I glanced at Ramona, (She'll find out later...) The thought crossed my mind briefly but faded when I felt someone grab my hand. I looked down and noticed Ramona had a firm grip on it. I felt my face heat up, but I made no movement to let go.

As we walked through the halls, people kept staring at us or started snickering and whispering to each other. We stopped in front of our class and I could hear a conversation held by a group of girls across the hall. "Hey look Crazy Girl's got a girlfriend!" "Oh My God! I wonder what she had to do to tame a beast like Luna!" They all started laughing and Ramona squeezed my hand. I grit my teeth as I stomped up to the group, "HEY! You can say whatever the hell you want about me, but you leave my Friend out of this! You have NO Right to make fun of her! You don't even know what's really happening in that video so BACK OFF!!" I finished my rant and the entire group of girls took a step away from me, terrified. I smirked as I turned around and walked back to Ramona, who nearly tackled me into a tight hug. She muttered a small thank you as I hesitantly wrapped my arms around her. "No problem..."
