Chapter 5 Time goes by.

Time goes by as usual, from that first day at school, days started to pass, then weeks, then months and finally years. And now I'm already 12 years old, and to be honest, I like what I see...

I mean my body, although it is not fully formed, but I already look damn beautiful, that all the girls and boys at school constantly look at me. I constantly wink at the girls, and I don't pay attention to the boys, and by that I know that they are upset because of this, but I don't care about them.

And apparently Serval, noticed my attitude towards girls, made a conclusion...

"Luna, are you a lesbian?" - asked me Serval, when we were walking along the school corridor.

I was a little taken aback by her question, but immediately pulled myself together and simply answered...

"Yes."

Serval, simply nodded to me, with a look that said "I always knew it." In fact, when puberty started, which I didn't really expect, I started fantasizing about her for a while, of course I blamed my teenage hormones. But can you blame me? Serval is a beautiful girl who will be even more beautiful when she matures, but I don't want to fall in love with my friend, I know that we are just not right for each other. But being friends is even good, we recently performed for the first time as a group at some party organized by the Landau family. To be honest, it was a little strange to perform with our group in front of the nobility, but we managed to do it, but our music was a little… inappropriate. I was on drums, Lynx on keys, and Serval on guitar. Of course, we had tried to attract Gepard to our group before, but he flatly refused.

"You know about Gepard, right?" Serval asked me, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Yes, I know." I answered.

In fact, I didn't want to deal with this, with teenage crushes… Gepard, became partial to me, but I just ignored all his childish hints so that he would understand that I'm not interested, but everything turned out the other way around…

"Well, he's sure that he can be with you. Partly, he got these thoughts from his mother." - said Serval.

I could only sigh. This woman… Of course, it's all her fault, trying to set me up with her son.

"Serval, can you not tell anyone that I'm a lesbian?" - I asked my friend.

"Yes, but why, are you afraid…" - I interrupted her and said.

"No! It's just that I have to say it, that is, to everyone who is dear to me, I don't care about the rest," - I said to my friend, who simply nodded.

The rest of the day was spent studying, which was also easy for me, as always. I even received the title of "The Smartest Girl". Because of this, my reputation skyrocketed. Because of this, I started to have a large number of fans and admirers, which I was not happy about, but because of my actions, I also had the title of "Cold Queen", which justified my actions of ignoring everyone except for the chosen people…

To be honest, I wanted to laugh when I first heard this title, but I did not deny it.

After school, I immediately went home, so the day came when I would confess to my mother, and I was really scared.

What will she think? How will she react? Will she have a disgusted face, will she reject me, and what will happen to me then?

With a heavy heart, I went to the front door, but I could not open it, since it was open from the inside, my mother saw me and smiled.

"Welcome back." She said and hugged me. I didn't answer, but just hugged her tightly, afraid that if I let her go, she would disappear from my life forever.

Apparently sensing my anxiety and tension, she moved away and asked to be at my eye level.

"Did something happen?" she asked, and pure tenderness was visible in her eyes.

I swallowed, and looking into her eyes said.

"Mom, I like girls." I said and was already ready to accept all the bad things that could happen.

"..." - Mom only looked back as if saying "So what?", which baffled me.

"Why did you..." - she didn't let me finish, as she interrupted me.

"Why am I not surprised or something like that? Luna, my dear, I am your mother, and I also have eyes. Do you think I haven't seen how you look at the girls who come into our store? The way you look at them, it's immediately clear what your preferences are," said Mom, smiling softly. So, I opened up to her without knowing it, and all because of my job at our store... God, how stupid. I work there on weekends, thereby earning myself money, Mom didn't make me, but I decided to add money myself, and all this turned into the revelation of a secret that wasn't a secret.

"And you don't mind?" I asked, and inside I felt as if a mountain had fallen off my shoulders.

"Why should I be against it? I just want to make you happy, but don't think that if you bring a girl home, I will accept her right away, she must first prove that she is worthy of being with you." Mom said in a stern but loving voice, and then turned away blushing.

"And besides, I am the same…" she said, to which I opened my mouth in surprise.

"You… but… how… I…" I couldn't even utter my question, as this shocked me so much.

Does it mean that she had to sleep with a man or was she taken by force… Does it mean that I am a product of an unwanted relationship, does it mean that I shouldn't have been…

I started to tremble from these thoughts, and apparently my mother noticed and asked me worriedly.

"Luna, darling, what's wrong with you?"

I felt my eyes sting, and at any moment tears could flow from them…

"Mom… Am I desired?" I asked, trying not to cry.

"Of course, darling! Where did this question come from? You are my treasure, and this won't change anything," she said tenderly.

"But then why was I born? If you also prefer girls, then why was I born?" I asked, still on the verge of tears.

Mom just looked away a little awkwardly and said.

"I can't tell you. She asked me not to tell you. She wants to tell you herself."

"She?" I asked, coming to my senses a little.

"Your second mother." She said, why did I freeze.

Second mother? How is that even possible? But if you compare everything that happened in my new life, and the feeling of connection I feel when I'm next to…

Space…

"Mom, is this Space?" I asked.

"Darling, you should ask her about it yourself! I won't confirm or deny it." She said.

But with these words, you indirectly confirmed it. Space is the name I gave to the woman who is most likely my "father" or rather my second mother. Which means that they are dating too, which made me a little happy. I would like to have a complete family, and the fact that Cosmos spends time with my mother, and most likely tells her about our conversations, makes me happy. But who is Cosmos or my second mother then? Because I am sure that all the power that I have is most likely because of her. Because I do not think that a twelve-year-old girl has such a power that is capable of turning stone into dust, and also healing wounds too quickly. Once, I decided to try piercing my hand with a knife, which I will never do again ... It was too painful. but fortunately the whole wound healed in just a few minutes, but it was not worth the pain I experienced.

So who is Cosmos? Is she a Goddess or some kind of cosmic entity? Why is she dating my mother? And the most important question, why was I born?

I have to ask her, and this time I will not accept riddles as an answer!
