Luna's Tenebris

Part I : Ravus

I realized I was a fool searching for something that was nearly impossible to find. I was a fool to think that such thing would actually exist in this world of chaos. Although people say that even in the darkness of the night, the moon will shine and soon darkness will vanquish. My hopes faltered after realizing that light will never truly vanquish the dark. As the moon and the dark can never be truly apart.

I pressed my temples with my hand and realized it was already dawn. The pain I had in my head wouldn't fade away like how it used to. Everything was dull to me. My room which was covered in grey and white decorations didn't help to enlighten myself to greet the day with a spirit. I looked around to see nobody in this empty apartment of mine. Unwashed laundry scattered everywhere in my room, I had no will whatsoever to clean this mess. My phone rang and it was Kate,"Where the hell are you? The professor is going to kill you if you don't come over in 5 minutes." I was still in a blur to what was going on. My eyes widened as I remembered that I was supposed to help him to set up his presentation today in front of the Council. Adrenaline rushed in my veins as I quickly got up and headed straight to my campus.

Sweat formed on my forehead. Even the cold wind of early Spring couldn't cool me down. I was a few feet away from the entrance to my faculty and with a blink of an eye, the door opened and I lost my balance for a second before this one guy grabbed hold of my hand and quickly pulled me into his arms. Everything went slow for a moment as I looked up and saw his mesmerizing brown eyes and smile. My heartbeat tripled its pace and blood rushed to my cheeks making it pinkish red. I snapped out of the gaze and picked up everything that had fallen.

"Are you okay, Miss?", he proceeded to help me pick up my fallen items.

"I'm fine.", I couldn't stand looking into his eyes so I looked down due to that embarrassing moment that had befallen to me.

"I'm sorry if I had knocked you off your feet. For a moment there I thought there was nobody coming in.", he straighten up and smiled.

"It's okay. I'm alright.", I tucked an errant strand of hair back behind my ear and left without looking back.

I heard him say something but it was already late for me to turn back.
