"We need to find him Ollie. I want him dead." I said to Ollie.
"But we don't know where he's gone."
I grabbed Ollie's hand and dragged him out of the room and headed to the ball. I try to find his shadow, anywhere he could have been.
Then I saw him trying to escaped from the ball. I ran past through the crowd and Ollie following me from behind. Then I bumping into my father.
"Luna dear where had you been? We've been looking for you anywhere."Say Max and then look back at Ollie.
"Sorry father but I need to get to him before it's too late."
"Get who?" He asked confused.
"The one who killed my sister and now he had killed Lionel." I say and quickly ran to chase him.
I heard he called my name but I ignored him. Ollie explain everything to him and tell him about Lionel dead body is in his study room. He ran around the corner of the hallway and out from the mansion back door.
"Stop right there!" I yelled and he stopped running and turn around facing me with a devilish grin on his face.
"Well, well, well look who we have here. You a grown woman now. Last time I saw you, you were so small little lamp."
"Give me that book back."
"Not any chance now young lady because I need it. On second thought, I might need you too to get that power out from inside of you. You know I can help you Luna dear. I can give you your normal life again, fall in love and have a new normal family you ever wanted. I can do that and all you need to do is come with me."
He raised his hand to show that he wanted me to follow with him. I looked at him, hesitant and suspicious too but what he said just earlier is what I want.
I dont want the demon to control my life. I dont want to hurt people and kill them anymore but then I heard a voice calling my name.
"Luna! No! screamed Ollie from behind."
I turn back into reality and quickly grabbed the document from his hand. We pulled apart the book and I try harder to get it.
But then Dr. sloviac pull out some strange device in his other hand and the device has spark of electric and he shoot it on my abdomen and I got an electric shock from it. I fell on the ground and he got his chance in running away.
Ollie quickly kneeled beside me but I froce him to go after him instead. He seemed hesitated but I force him again to go and then he went after him.
I try to stand up on my feet along with my gown but I fell. I try it again and I ran to where are they chasing. I try to find him but then I found Ollie instead. He came back with a heavy and disappointed look.
"I'm sorry Luna. I lost him. I can't catch him with my limb leg like this. I'm not fast enough."
"It's okay Ollie."
You already did your best. I was very disappointed that he got run away with that document of my fathers research. What should we do now since we're don't know where his hiding place.
It could be anywhere unless he would come back for me because he also said that he need me to get the power inside of me.
The next morning coming by and we were all gather for the burial ceremony. They buried Lionels body and everyone by friends and family are all here including mine and Ollies family too. I cant believe he died in front of me, killed by the same man who killed my sister.
The only person who knew my biological family and I already consider him as my own father too. Ollie was right beside me, hugging my shoulder and my hand was hold by my mother and stand beside us too along with Max.
After the burial ceremony, we headed home. Max is sitting on the sofa at the living room while Lily made some tea from the kitchen. I, on the other hand went to the meadow alone.
The sky was in grey and cloudy and theres no sunlight at all. Soon the sky would be raining but I don't care anymore. I went to the meadow where Ollie and I used to play together before and when I arrived under the tree, I heard a footstep behind me. I turn around and I see Ollie standing there and suddenly the rain started pour on us and so as my tears.
I went to Ollie and cry against his chest. I let all my emotions out by crying with him while he just soothing my back gently not saying anything at all.
"Everything will be fine now." He whispered gently on my ear.
"Ollie thank you for always by my side. You always there whatever I need you."
"Luna I've been meaning to tell you this for a very long time ago but I never got the best timing to tell you this and I think this is the best timing to tell you."
Suddenly he seemed nervous and rubbed his neck awkwardly.
"What is it Ollie? Is there something you wanted to tell me?"
"Luna I know you been having a very hard time ever since I met you but somehow you still managed to laugh and smile around me and your new family but I want to be the only one for you to be happy always and I want you to be in better life."
"Ollie what are you trying to say here? I don't understand. He just chuckled very nervously and I never see he act like this before."
"Luna what I'm about to say is that I love you. I love you Luna and I don't want you to be hurt."
He finally said it and brushing his fingers on my pale cheeks gently. I felt a tickled running through his touch and theres a butterfly fluttering in my stomach. What he said just blow my mind and I never expected that my best friend loved me.
I mean he did kiss me before but I never knew he would really love me as in more than a friend. I was shocked at first but then I gave him a sweet smile for him. I love him as my friend and I would love him as more than a friend too but then something hit me.
Would I be ever had a future with him someday? Would we will be had our own family? What if I hurt him? I don't want that. I would never want to hurt him because thr last time I'm hurting him was when he's having a fight and I'm almost losing my control. I don't want to hurt anyone I love. Then I look at him in thr eyes and cupped my hand on his cheeks.
"Ollie I don't know what to say. If we truly together, I don't want to hurt you. You do know what's inside of me. I'm a demon and I killed people."
"No you're not. That is not you Luna. I know you would never hurt me."
"But-"
Before I can finish my sentences to him, suddenly I can feel a warm tingled on my lips. At first, I was shocked but then I returned his kiss. He kiss was so gentle and full with warm and I would never forget it.
