WHISPERS FROM BEYOND - CHAPTER 25&26

☯︎•~•☯︎
|•Neville Vile, light realm•|
<Moon’s room>
The early morning sunlight,shaded it’s part into the room,were moon laid comfortably under her duvet sleeping silently.

The light shone on her face and she turned to the other side of the bed,her hand touched the bed and her eye lids parted gently.

“Huh?”She sat up carefully and held her banging head,trying to recall what happened last night.

The only thing she remembered was,she got attacked and passed out,she thought.

She quickly touched the nap of her neck and her eyes widened.

“There’s nothing there,I’m sure someone hit me but…. it’s normal”she mumbled.

There’s a different scent in the room apart from her’s. The scent of roses still fresh in the room.

Her hand touched the bed again and her eyes widened,it’s warm?

“It’s warm”she mumbled.

“Winter? Shadow? …. Granger?”
She stood up quickly and searched the room.

“It’s empty”She mumbled.

The suddenly heard people walking down the hall and her eyes widened.

“Oh…it’s late”she cussed and rushed into the bathroom.

<Dining hall>
*
They all sat around the table eating quietly, except Devon and Raven.

Moon stared at his usual seat and it’s empty,she bit her lips.

“You’ve been quite baby,what happened?”Winter mumbled ,her fork in her mouth.

“Hmm”Moon uttered, snapping out her thought and faced her.

“Did you stay in my room last night?”Moon asked.

“No we came and met you fast asleep,we didn’t wanna wake you so we left,why?”Winter said.

“Oh….I see and Granger?”Moon asked.

“He said he was looking for you so we told him you already went to bed. You slept too early though”Winter said.

“Is anything the matter,you sound confused?”Shadow asked.

“No just that,I saw something last night a shadow,she kept talking to me and before I knew it she attacked,after that I met myself in my room this morning,it’s confusing”Moon mumbled.

Shadow choked on the water in her mouth and Winter gave her a suspicious look.

“Hey! Watch it!”Jinx spat opposite her.

“Sorry”Shadow cleaned her mouth and faced Moon.

“You saw it too?”Shadow whispered.

Winter blinked confusedly in between them.

“She wasn’t clear but she spoke about some dark queen and my mum”Moon muttered back.

“Ms Joan also showed me the past,my mum was one of the deities,the Moon queen”Moon mumbled.

“What?!” Shadow gasped.

“I knew it!!”Winter screamed.

“What are you three mumbling about?”Hermione furrowed his brows.

“Nothing”Moon said blankly and stood up.

“I’m coming with you!”Winter yelled and rushed after her.

“Wait up!”Shadow yelled after them.

“Why is my mind telling me those three are up to something?”Granger muttered.

“It’s obvious, probably something boring”Jinx rolled her eyes.

“It could be important how would you know?”Ivy said blankly, without staring up her food.

Jinx gave her a deadly glare and continued eating.

“And Raven and Devon? They didn’t show up at all for breakfast”Liam asked.

They all shrugged.

☯︎|•Master Lamia’s hall•|☯︎
*
The girls couldn’t find Master Kai or Chief Wave so they came here straight to Master Lamia’s hall.

“So you mean you saw some kind of spirit?”Master Lamia asked amusedly.

“It was a shadow but you don’t look like you believe us”Shadow said.

Master Lamia settled rigidly in his chair then he sat up straight again.

“Girls you do know we put up the protection shield,some days ago right?”Master Lamia said seriously now.

“I also thought the same until the thing attacked Moon last night”Shadow said.

“And why didn’t anyone know about it? It should have been reported immediately but it wasn’t.”Master Lamia said.

“Because I met myself in my room this morning”Moon said blankly.

“Ms Moon are we talking of a dream here? There is no such thing as dark shadows in the academy,if they happen to be here Chief Wave would have been the first to know about it”Master Lamia said.

“But…..”

“Enough! No more, report back to your rooms or the training hall now”Master Lamia ordered and they all walked out dissapointedly.

“Who knew just eleven kids would be so much trouble”Master Lamia scoffed,flexing his fingers.

•<Garden>•
It’s the second most beautiful view next to the river.

Raven sat on the grass, attending to some flowers and Devon just stood there watching.

“You had to force me to come here with you,we already missed breakfast and you haven’t even trained today”Devon groaned.

“Stop whining,just few more flowers”Raven said.

She began cutting out some rose flowers and Devon brows furrowed.

“Why are you cutting the roses?”Devon asked.

“It has your scent,so I wanna keep it in my room”Raven smiled.

“You’re so straightforward”Devon shook his head and Raven chuckled.

“Where were you last night anyway? You weren’t in your room and then suddenly this morning you showed up”Raven asked,paying careful attention to the roses.

Devon suddenly remembered something and he frowned deeply.

“I’ll be back,I have some unfinished matter”Devon muttered, ignoring her question and dissapered.

“He does this all the time”Raven frowned placing the roses in a vase.

<Training hall>
Clashing sounds of swords kept ringing from the training hall as Moon and Shadow’s sword hit against eachother violently.

“Can’t believe he didn’t believe us”Winter pouted, licking from an ice cream cup.

“He didn’t even wanna listen”Shadow scoffed.

“It doesn’t matter,we know something is lurking around here and that’s enough, we’ll just have to find it ourselves”Moon said blankly,she gave shadow another hit.

Devon suddenly walked past the door and Moon stopped fighting.

“I’ll be back!”she dropped her sword and ran out.

“Where is she off to?”Shadow blinked and dropped her sword.

“Devon just passed “Winter muttered and Shadow nodded.

“Hey!”Moon yelled after Devon she kept running but he didn’t stop walking.

“Can you atleast stop walking for once,I’m trying to be nice here!”Moon snapped,she breathed out tiredly on the spot.

Devon stopped walking and appeared right in front of her,she gasped moving back slowly.

“I thought so”he mumbled and turned to leave but she held his hand quickly.

“The smell of roses….. I can’t be mistaken.I know it was you,you were there last night,you were the one who carried me to my room……”Moon muttered carefully.

“And stayed beside you all night? Yes I did”Devon said coolly and continued walking away.

“I didn’t kiss Granger yesterday!”Moon said but bit her lips hard at the realization of what she just said.

Devon turned back immediately,his brows pulled together.

“I only did that so I wouldn’t have to hurt you while trying to stop you,you’d have ki||ed him”Moon said.

“Well it didn’t work so well”Devon smirked and Moon bit her bottom lips hard.

Devon tilted his head with and amused smile,they stayed there with their eyes locked on eachother.

He suddenly took quick steps to her and placed his thumb on her lips,her heart froze and she slowly let go of her lips.

“I told you to stop doing that, it’d hurt your lips moonlight”he muttered.

“Devon?”Raven voice came from behind and Moon fronwed.

Devon moved back from Moon and faced Raven.

“You left me again,you promise me but keep breaking your promises”Raven said sadly. Moon rolled her eyes annoyingly.

“Can we go now? We still have a lot to do and I need to place the flowers in my room, please?”Raven said pleadingly,Devon sighed and turned to Moon ,who just stood there with a soft look.

“Devon?”Raven called again. She walked to him and held his hand giving Moon a blank look.

“Are you too busy?”Raven asked nonchalantly.

Moon stared down their connected hands and scoffed inwardly.

“Come on let’s go, please”Raven pouted and started walking away.

Devon turned back to Moon and she flashed him a fake smile.

He obviously knew it was fake,he chuckled inwardly.

*How cute her nose turns red when she’s mad* Demon voice came and Devon had to bit his lips to hold back his smile.

“Can’t believe he left me for her…… again”Moon mumbled sadly, watching them walk down the distance.

She turned to the direction of the training hall and started walking back.

~•Full moon,Night• ~
<Devon’s room>
The room was disarrayed like a deserted area and Devon sat on the bed,his veins stretching down his neck,down to his bare body.

It happens every full moon night,it’s a supposed punishment for something he doesn’t know about till the moon goddess can end him herself.

It’s his misery the reason he wanted his life ended as soon as possible. The pain was ki||ing and right now his demons were out of control,his head was d@mn blank and his blood kept burning from within.

This was his own personal hell.

His palm began burning out fire and this time it hurt like hell.

“f_ck!!!”He cussed pushing down the already broken table. He picked up a shirt and appeared outside the institute,his eyes turned red and migraine hit him hard.

He grabbed his head tightly but it suddenly stopped,though he was still feeling the internal burn.

He stood up straight and saw Moon walking past,she was obviously heading to the river.

*It stopped because of her presence,it’s inevitable the fate has to take place,it’d only get worse if she comes closer* Derek warned,Devon snapped them out immediately and began walking to Moon.

Moon stopped in front of him with a blank look,she didn’t spare him another look and continued walking away.

“Moonlight…?”Devon called gently,Moon stopped and faced him,she looked around him and stared back at him.

“Oh…your little birdy isn’t with you?”Moon asked, blinking innocently.

“She…….”

“Isn’t it obvious, she’s clinging to you in pretence of being innocent?”Moon fronwed.

“Is that jealousy I smell, moonlight?”Devon smirked, tilting his head side.

“Don’t call me that and don’t talk to me!”Moon snapped and began walking away. Devon made to hold her back but the pain hit him again.

“Argghh!!”he groaned painfully, holding his head tightly.

Moon turned around immediately and rushed to him.

“Devon?…. Devon are you okay?”Moon asked worriedly.

He pushed her away gently,his veins began drawing out his neck again,his claws came out and Moon gulped fearfully.

“Devon?”Moon mumbled,his eyes turned red and he fell to the floor.

“Hey! Devon!”Moon screamed fearfully and rushed to him but he pushed her away again.

The more she came closer to him the more the pains worsened now.

Then this had to be the night.

His sword appeared in his hand and he rushed to her but immediately he got in front of her the sword dropped from his hands right at her feet.

“Take the sword and stab me!”Devon said, groaning painfully as more pain hit him.

“What…what are you saying?”Moon muttered shockingly.

“Can’t you see it? I’m a monster if you don’t ki|| me now, I’ll end up ki||ing thousands of innocent souls tonight!”Devon snapped.

“You must be kidding”Moon uttered brokenly.

“Take the f_cking sword and pierce my heart, moonlight!!”Devon snapped unable to bear the excruciating pain.

Moon picked the sword slowly,her sweaty palms shaking on the sword as she walked slowly to him.

“Do it!”Devon’s three voices yelled,heavy breeze blowing dust around them.

“How do you expect me to do it you dimwit?!”Moon snapped tearfully.

“Argghh….if you don’t do it,I’d die either way with this pain, please just do it!!!”Devon yelled with pleading eyes.

Tears welled down Moon’s eyes as she took slow steps to him.

She began running suddenly running,the sword wielded in front of her but when she reached right in front of him the sword fell from her hands and she threw her arms around him hugging him tightly to herself and his back hit a tree.

Subconsciously his fingers pierced into her waist,she gasped out painfully her hand still tight around him.

She brought her moon marked wrist to rest on the nap of his neck and he stopped moving and his head dropped on her shoulders,his cold sweat running down her shoulders.

Though with the hellish pain on her waist her eyes turned white and she raised his head gently to meet her glowing eyes,his eyes turned normal again and thier eyes locked. Slowly the pains began reducing and he began breathing normally.

“How dare you ask me to stab you,now I really wanna stab you dummy”Moon muttered rubbing her palm on the nap of his neck soothingly.

Was he crazy to say he loved it? Crazy enough he didn’t want her to stop,but he was still confused.

“You’ve seen what I am,why aren’t you scared?”Devon muttered.

“It’s not your fault,you could’ve controlled it but you couldn’t”Moon muttered.

His head suddenly ached again and he groaned on her shoulders.

“Does it still hurt?”Moon asked worriedly.

“Just a little”he mumbled.

“I want to make the pain go away”Moon suddenly said and Devon looked away.

“You can’t,no one can”Devon mumbled,Moon pulled his face back to hers staring seriously at him.

“I want to make it go away,no matter what you say.I want to”Moon said gently. His eyes slowly went down her red lips and he slowly looked back her face. His throat moved slowly.

“A healing kiss?”He mumbled crazily and she just stared on. Her eye lids closed slowly and a silly smile crept on his lips.

Devon slowly leaned in,his lips gently pressed against Moon’s and she parted her lips slowly.

“Moon?”Granger called suddenly,Raven also walked out the other corner.

“Who ever wanna dies after this should die peacefully”Demon voice came and a shield suddenly covered the two as they kissed warmly under the moonlight.

Devon pulled Moon closer so thier chest touch and slipped his hand on her bleeding waist,he began rubbing the spot gently and it began healing with each rub, surprisingly she began Mõ@?ing into his mouth at the sweet sensation.

“Hey!”Granger snapped and that was when Devon looked up,he smirked slyly.

He turned her swiftly to the tree and placed her back there, deepening the kiss like crazy, taking her tongue fully into his mouth.

They couldn’t hear any of the screams behind them and worst part is that Raven and Granger just stood there bloodless.
