The Light of the Moon

Chapter 12:

Heyo! ^w^ I'm so so sorry I haven't updated in a while! I've had a bit of a writers block! However, I am trying to work through it and every moment I get that I have an idea or at least one metaphor, I work off it! Just like I did here!

I'm so so sorry if it's horrible! Comments and feedback is much appreciated though so please do so! I apologise in advance if this is a boring chapter, I really did try! But I promise the next chapter (which is most likely the last) will be better! I already know what I'm gonna write so get tissues ready!

Before you read, I suggest going into Spotify or even just YouTube and typing up 'Sad Piano' and listening to that while you read (if you can/want to). It just kinda makes it more dramatic and movie-like y'know? XD

Anyone please comment and give feedback! It's much appreciated! Enjoy!

Thunder clapped loudly as lightning roared viciously.

The escape pod grew closer and closer to Earth, the McDuck family's tears only growing more and more the further away they were from their saviour.

Finally, the escape pod collided with the Earths surface, sliding along the ground with great force.

Donald held Huey, Scrooge held Louie and Della held Dewey, all finally sharing their last tears.

"Is everyone ok?" Della asked silently, wiping away a lasting tear from her eye.

"We're all good, lass." Scrooge reassured her.

Scrooge couldn't even begin to imagine how Della must've felt, he knows how hard it's been for her the past 10 years, he knows all she wanted to do was return home to her family but he also knows she didn't want to do it like this.

Sacrificing another life just to save her own, that was something Della wished would never happen. If anyone were to be sacrificed she wanted it to be her and for her family. But yet this little girl she knew nothing of had saved her life and the life of her family without hesitation. Her bravery left a scar on Della's family as well as Della herself.

Scrooge sighed, leaning down at eye level with Louie. "Come on lad, let's go home." Scrooge stated, forcing the escape pod hatch open and holding an arm out towards him.

Louie paused, letting his self doubt consume him. Letting his regret and guilt take over as he once again silently dropped his head and fell down a pit of tears.

How could he let this happen? Webby was like a sister to him, how could he let her do that to herself? Louie knew she was a noble, loyal person, yes, but he never figured it would ever get this bad, he never thought she would ever really sacrifice her own life for others, let alone someone she never had a true connection to, someone she never knew until she stepped foot on that moon.

Truth be told, the thought of her sacrificing herself for her family had crossed his mind, but only for a split second. It never occurred to him that that horrifying thought, that petrifying nightmare would one day become reality.

Della saw her son falling down a hole of despair and immediately grabbed him, holding him close. "Honey, honey, shhh it'll be ok, I promise everything will be okay." She ushered, omg even knowing if she believed the words that escaped her mouth.

Oh how Louie so desperately wanted those words to enter his ears. His whole life he longed for someone to tell him it would be ok, he longed for someone to hold him and reassure him everything was fine, he longed for a break from the sadness. He longed for a mother.
