Luna: The Vampire Princess
17
“Thank you for wanting to get together even though you are still recovering,” said Luna staring at all members of the Courn family. “Ayahanda is gone, and before he is gone. He once appointed me as a successor.”
“Cih, he would have wanted to make himself a leader. Basic hypocrite!” charles said cynically.
“Therefore, as a candidate leader. I pointed.. Brother Alester as Provisional Leader.”
“No, I told you-wait, what??” charles asked in shock, as did Alester.
“Sorry, Miss Luna. But shouldn't you be the one who got the title as the leader, why did you instead hand the title to Young Master Alester?” ask one of the vampires.
Luna smiled. “I know you all must be surprised by my decision, but on the other hand. You also know my personality, I'm a person who doesn't like to be restrained and I prefer adventure. After all, I was too lazy to work on those boring documents, I was different from Father. I prefer a challenge and I could. I ran away and left important documents just like that, besides. I can't be a leader because my education in the human academy is not finished yet. That's why I chose Sister Alester. First, he has done a lot of work as a prospective leader before when the Father is not there, you know, Sister Alester is very good at this task. In addition, Sister Alester knows more about documents than me and Sister Alester has graduated from the academy, so in my opinion. The best candidate to replace me is Kak Alester,” he explained at length. “I hope you guys understand.” She smiled sweetly. “I am not the best candidate, even though he chose me as the Leader Candidate. He did it out of pity, He did consider me his daughter. But his children are still Sister Alester and Brother Charles.”
“Luna, what do you mean??” alester asked not to understand. “Why do you always call Father by his name??”
“Kakak.” Luna smiled faintly, she touched her chest. “I.. not your siblings.”
Charles and Alester looked surprised, as did some of the vampires who were there. However, some of them also looked at each other and seemed to know Luna's true identity.
“Wait, what do you mean? You're not our sister, then who are you??” charles asked, speaking up.
“Luna, please! This is not funny at all!”
“Sister, I'm glad you've been thinking of me as a sister all along. But, this is the truth, I am not your sister. My papa. Killed by a Race of Angels and my mother, Arendelle Courn. Killed by a human the day after I gave birth to my child. Ayahanda, aka my uncle. Be kind and take care of me like his own son. I'm so happy to have you as my family.” Luna's eyes turned red withstanding the cries. “Luna is happy.. You can all accept me as I am, Luna.” He lowered his head and wiped his flowing tears without being held back.
The other vampires looked down and seemed to feel the sadness that Luna experienced, even Charles and Alester were still recovering from her shock.
“Luna. you..”
Luna looked up and stared at the origin of the voice, a beautiful woman standing in the doorway with a surprised expression. Luna smiled sweetly. “Aunt Viona, aunty came to visit?”
The woman, whose full name is Viona Courn, dropped her bag in shock. “How can, how can you remember?? Shouldn't it be, Arandel erased your memory.”
Viona walked quickly towards Luna, she hugged the niece very tightly as if channeling strength. “Luna.” Viona also shed tears, she did not know how her sister's death was. But judging by the trail of blood on the floor, Viona knew. Arendelle died a very sad death just a day after she gave birth. “Don't cry, Luna. Or your mother will be sad too.”
Instead of stopping, Luna was even sobbing. “Why??” Her body became weak, every detail of the memory she got back made her very tormented, seeing the death of the mother from the crack of the closet really made Luna as if she was smashed into pieces. “Why are humans so evil?? Why can they take lives so easily??” ask her between her tears. “They are evil, they killed Mother cruelly.” Luna. “They, they torment the mother and burn her.sunlighted.”.
Viona hugged Luna even more tightly, the pain seemed to spread all over her body just by hearing the explanation from the niece. Viona so could not imagine how sick Luna was when she saw the incident directly and could not forget it at all. “Luna, this is fate. We can't do anything.”
“Why are humans so hypocritical??” Luna started to mess up. “Man killed my mother, then took my power.. Why must man be that evil??”
“Luna.. that is not true, Luna. Not all humans are evil.” Viona tried to explain slowly.
“It was just a hoax, Aunty.” Luna's face turned flat, her tears stopped flowing. “They are hypocrites! Cruel! And don't know yourself! Shouldn't they just be wiped out?”
Viona who heard that immediately took off her embrace and looked at Luna who had a cold expression, her blood-red eyes seemed to glow like they belonged to Mother. Arandelle. “Luna.. You, realize Luna! You must not be overwhelmed by anger!”
“I'm tired enough to be patient, Bibi.” Dark energy poured out from Luna's body unstoppably, she woke up aided by the dense dark energy. “Man.. die, they. Dead, they all have to die, no matter who. They are bothering me. Deserve death!” Luna now looked like a puppet, she stared blankly ahead. A dark force shot out from his back and formed a pair of large wings. “No matter who they are, they are dead. They have to die,” he said continuously. He began to flap his wings and made his feet no longer touch the floor. “Destroy.destroy--”
Luna's words immediately came to a halt as someone hugged her from behind, the hug felt warm like her mother's hug just yet.
“It's enough, my daughter. don't get consumed by your emotions,” that soft, soothing whisper managed to get Luna to regain her consciousness, she glanced back.
“Delayed.. Aruni.”
“Kak Aruni,” said Viona who looked shocked. “Why sister can be here?”
Aruni Courn, Alverd Courn's wife, appears to turn Luna's body and hold her affectionately. “You haven't lost anything, Luna. Although both of your Fathers are dead, but there is still Mother, Mother Aruni will continue to love you in your place. Sorry, sorry that Mom never told you everything, Mom just didn't want this to happen. Mother knows, you will be very angry when you know your Mother and Father are gone. But Mother is also sure, Luna will not be carried away by emotions because Luna is strong.”.
