Three

Play Arcade by Durcan Laurence Moon POV I was shocked when Fly slapped me and suddenly choked me, my forehead wrinkled when I saw her bloody and furious face. "F-Fly ..." I called to her for a reason to change her aura and she slowly lowered me and removed the stranglehold on me. "Moon .." She gently called me,I frowned and looked around, what's going on? why the mess around? are we in the moonlight? why is the environment like this? I could barely recognize the surroundings in so much chaos. "Is that you?" Fly asked and looked behind her. "Rain ..." I heard her call Rain's name so I looked behind her, I looked back when I saw Rain looking at it while on her knees and there was blood on her lips. "Rain .." I called, she slowly raised her left hand and from where I was standing I saw the small pendant of the necklace she was holding and it was obviously cracked. She smiled at Fly and me, I next looked at the two people behind her. Admin whose aura is dark and Red who is surprised and obviously unaware of what is happening. My tears immediately flowed when I saw how Rain lay down while two swords were stabbed in her back. "RAIN!" I shouted and immediately waved my palm to take Admin away from Rain, Fly and I ran to Rain's side as she weakened. I immediately supported Rain and turned to face me. "Rain ..." I called her then straightened her hair that was blocked on her bloody face, she gave me a faint smile and then touched my cheek. "Finish it ... Moon." She said and took a deep breath then slowly closed her eyes, I shook and my tears dripped one after another while holding her body. "Rain ... Rain open your eyes." I said and hugged her. "I-I didn't ... I mean ..." Red said in shock and crying while still looking at us and Rain's body. "I-I don't know if ... why I'm holding a sword ..." She said and sat down. "R-Rain .." She called Rain trembling and fell to the ground crying. "RAIN!" We turned to the one who call Rain's name, Star. He quickly went to our direction and snatched Rain's body from me. "Rain .. Rain wake up .." Star said and hugged Rain tightly. I could look up at the sky when the heavy rain suddenly fell. "Rain .." I called her name then looked at Fly. "Let's finish this." I said so Red and Fly looked at me, Fly nodded and stood up so I also stood up and was ready to walk when suddenly someone hugged me from behind. My eyes widened when I heard five gunshots in a row, my body stiffened even more as the creature behind me hugged me tightly. Everyone seemed to be in slow motion as I faced the one who hugged me, my chest tightened even more when Red suddenly fell in front of me while looking at me. "R-Red .." "RED!" I looked at the person who did the that and saw Admiral next to Admin. I immediately lowered my palm when he released the bullet from my direction again, but I just moved away from it and slowly approached them. "Don't come near monster!" Admiral shouted and fired the gun again but I just caught it with my index finger and then pushed it towards their direction causing Admiral to be hit on the shoulder. "You're an animal!" Admin shouted and snatched the gun from Admiral so I immediately entered Admin's mind. "Kill him." I commanded Admin while looking at Admiral's direction, Admin did not point the gun at Admiral who was surprised. "No .. you stopped my brother so--" Admiral didn't finish what he was going to say when Admin touched the crochet of the gun. Admiral's body immediately fell to the floor so I turned my attention back to Admin. "Kill yourself." I commanded him so he looked at me and pointed the gun he was holding at his head then no doubt shot himself. I kept my eyes on the corpses of the two of them and then watched the Moonlight students who were looking at me. I sat up and felt weak as they all looked at me. Next, my tears flowed as I looked at the floor. "I'm sorry ..." I said while bowing. "FORGIVE ME!" I cried and cried, I felt Fly hug me so I kept crying. I lost two of my friends, I looked at the direction of Rain and Red holding Cloud and Star while crying. "Forgive me ..." I whispered. "The battle is over,Moon, you're free." Fly said as she hugged me tight. "S-SHADOW!" we were shocked when we heard a shout from the gate of the Moonlight, I immediately looked at the direction there and almost ran out the strength of seeing how Dark hugged Shadow. I-I never thought ... it would get to this point. All we want is to be able to study peacefully. Why will the study end us? why does it have to get to this point? "We have to go home, I'll take you to your real home." I looked at Fly when she said that, I really ... Home? ~~~~ 18 years ago Third Person POV "Fly!" Shouted by Mrs Luxua Mond, one of the five strongest celebrities in the world, Mrs Luxua immediately grabbed the young Fly and kissed the sleeping baby. Mrs. Luxua looked at Fly angrily. "What are you doing? Are you going to kill your sister?!" Mrs. Luxua said angrily and snatched Fly's knife from her, Fly frowned then crossed her arms and looked at the sleeping baby. "I don't like her." She said that's why Mrs. Luxua was so angry and then Fly turned to her. "She is your sister Moon, you should be the one to pro-protect her, you shouldn't hurt her." Mrs. Luxua said but Fly just pushed her then looked badly at the baby. "But I really don't like her." Fly said angrily then cried. "You're always carrying her, you don't comb me anymore and don't give me time, I don't like her! She should have been killed!" Fly got a strong blow from her mother which made Fly cry even more and ran out of Moon's room, Mrs. Luxua was very close and tried to calm herself down. "Why is that running?" Mr. Moldz asked as he entered the room. "I don't think it's right for the two of them to be together." Mrs. Luxua said directly so Mr. Mondz frowned. "She almost killed Moon." It said so Mr Moldz was stunned then loaded the baby. "Fortunately I saw her, and I got it from her." Mrs. Luxua said and showed the knife she had taken from Fly. "That girl, she's so spoiled and used to having the two of us' attention on her." Mr Moldz said and kissed the baby he was holding on the forehead. "We need to take Fly away from Moon." Mrs Luxua said so Mr Moldz looked at her. "but I don't know yet where I'm going to put Fly, I'm worried that maybe while we're sleeping she's going to do something bad to her sister." Said Mrs. Luxua. "Moon is the one we'll keep away." Mr Moldz said so his wife looked at him. "What? It's not possible, Moon is too young to take her away from us." Said Mrs. Luxua. "If Fly is the one we miss from her, she will probably cultivate anger and she may rebel, she will think that we are beating her brother too much." Mr Moldz said so Mrs Luxua's face was sad. "I will summon Manang so that she can be Moon's mother, when the time comes we will also take her, for now. We must first wait for Fly to accept that she has a sister." Mr Moldz said Mrs Luxua took her child from her husband then kissed him. "Think we'll do it, for her." Mr Moldz said so Mrs Luxua nodded in agreement. In the evening, Moon's foster Father arrived, all her belongings were ready and she was also loaded with a woman who was a bit of a naive woman, Moon. "Take care of our daughter." Mrs. Luxua said while Fly was behind her and still looked bad at the baby. "Yes." It says. Mrs. Luxua took a deep breath. "Raise her as a good kid." Mrs. Luxua smiled but insisted. "I'll follow." It says. "The car is already out for them." A guard interjected, Mrs. Luxua's tears dripped as she looked at her unconscious daugther. "Moon Laureen Venomous is what you name her." Mr Mondz said so the woman nodded, they carried it up to the front of the car and watched how to leave them. "Mommy, isn't the baby coming back?" Fly asked, her mother stared at her coldly then didn't answer and went straight into their house. Fly sat in front of her father then smiled. "Mommy is just tired so don't talk to her first okay?" Mr Mondz asked Fly, Fly nodded and looked again at the road they had taken Moon. ~~~~ Present Day. (Day 1 after the chaos in Moonlight.) Moon POV You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. Life has a funny way of teaching us. It will create a deep sadness so we know how to truely understand happiness. It will create chaos in our lives so that we may appreciate the peaceful times and it will take those we love away from us so that we will truely understand what their presents means to us. I took a deep breath as I turned to look at the three tombstones of my friends, It hurts for a mother to lose of the child. But it is also painful for a true friend to lose a true friend. On this day, the bodies of Rain, Red and Shadow were buried. My tears flowed again as I remembered the happy memories we had together. The most painful goodbyes are the one that are never said and never explained. They lost three when I couldn't tell them how important they were to me. I knew we weren't blood relatives, but we treated each other like family. As I watched earlier how they were buried, my heart was broken because I knew I had lost who else could replace and match the three of them. "If they're mad at you, I'm not. I'll make sure you talk to the Head Admiral yourself to leave Moonlight in case you don't belong here." "You need to promise me, that whatever ever happened, you won't stop reaching your dream and you won't stop being happy." "Moon's cooking is the most delicious of all I've tasted, when we saw each other we agreed immediately because she gave me food when they left me mama at the Mall." I cringed as I remembered what Red, Rain and Shadow had told me. It's difficult, because they were three and at the same time lost to me. But no matter how hard it is, I still have to move on with life and train myself that they are gone. I have to fight because that's the promise I made to Shadow. "Until again, goodbye." I whispered and placed the three roses on their tombstones then turned away.
