moonlight (iv)

What should he do to stop this? she was turning ice cold...he snow white mermaid tail would be taken away and her life span would be shortened....since she'd already lived so long...she might not even last a decade anymore. But how was he supposed to reach out to the moon? he felt the urge to kick....punch and beat up the moon...but since it wasn't there...he turned to the wall...and

"hold me Allen.."her cool voice filtered in ... freezing the lord. Allen wasn't sure she'd said that... thinking back to when he held her awhile ago...he suddenly felt his blood boil in pleasure of the feel of her body plastered on his...oh! how soft she felt!

"won't you hold me Allen?" she said again...her voice coming out weaker than the first...he turned immediately to her as his protection instinct kicked against his chest...he saw the moon peeping in through the window and it's rays directly spraying on her .. putting her in the spot light again...he rushed to the bed and sat by her. holding her hands

"tell me Allen...."she said...yet so softly that no one ... even one laying on the bed with her couldn't hear this oh so quiet whisper...but Allen even if a million and two miles away would hear as long as it came from this one person.

"anything...meli. "he urged her to keep speaking

"why were you looking at me like that earlier on? are you in danger too?" was what she said next. She didn't want to ask him if he loved her...the thought of it scared her. Allen was struck dumb by this question...he wasn't in danger no! but this naive young goddess that had lived for centuries still knew nothing about love?!. But how was he going to tell her he loved her so dearly when he'd failed her countless numbers of times...when he's the reason her life is in danger...he didn't deserve that honor...he deserved to die... but the moment he noticed she was already floating a little above the bed and her blanket was falling off...he knew he had to say something to her demanding eyes to finally close and surrender so this transformation wouldn't be painful

"I'm not in danger meli..." was all he could say... and thank God he wasn't granted the opportunity to speak more... Melissa was sucked in towards the moon and he could see her in the sky floating just under the moonlight

In the dark tunnel

Her royal majesty princess Natasha was beginning to feel uneasy as she stared at the woman who sat on her invincible throne. For days now...she hadn't gotten a share of her power...did this Bianca finally found a way to contain the power for herself alone? did this Bianca finally found a way to keep her a slave forever? no! no! that can't be... she'd been struggling not to entertain this thought but it seemed the only thing prying into her thoughts...what should she do to dismiss it? she tried talking to Bianca but Bianca never responded...and because she was a princess...she never thought of persisting like the humans would do. Although she didn't have any powers so she was subjected to the status of a human...as long as a deity blue blood still was flowing in her veins she'd never let herself succinct. No not in her life time! even if she was so unfortunate ...she wouldn't allow herself wallow in such gloom.

"Bianca..."she called out with a stern voice... causing the woman to snap her head at her... Bianca obviously hadn't expected such manner of approach from this granddaughter of hers ..she suddenly felt like Monica had possessed Natasha now and giving the young princess an upper hand towards her. She stared at Natasha intently but once she realized that the girl still had no magic in her veins.. she narrowed her eyes and turned away in irritation... Natasha frowned upon seeing that look of disgust Bianca just directed towards her...she felt really debased ...she immediately rose to her feet and launched a futile attack against Bianca...but she was caught midair and thrown towards the wall ...she winched when she fell...her back hitting against the hardened wall of the tunnel...she cowered like an obedient dog. What was she thinking? Bianca burst into a hysterical laughter... shaking the tunnel like there was an earthquake happening

"oh grandchild! ... how naive..."she said and continued her laughter...but Natasha swung her gaze towards her as that title 'grandchild' registered in her ears

"grandchild?" she repeated... Bianca immediately paused her laughter as alarm struck her...she'd called the girl grandchild...there was no way this girl would believe any whoopers she let out ..she looked at Natasha with wide eyes and Natasha seemed to be returning that glare with equal or more ferocious intensity...she heard well?! why had this lunatic called her grandchild...was this her grandmother?!

Bianca didn't know if Natasha knew about her.. she wasn't sure at all ..but if she knew...what did she know? did Monica tell her good things about her grandmother or bad things? what should she do now?

"humm?!" was all Bianca could muster as a response.

"you're my grandma?!" Natasha said as she suddenly gained the strength to stand on her feet...she stared deep into Bianca's eyes and she saw the resemblance.... although she'd been wondering about this. .but she thought her grandmother was long dead before she was born.... thinking about it again now...this woman really bared the same name as did her grandmother.
