Hello, people of fanfiction! This is my second KHR! story! Bel x OC! Yay, the famous Belphagor! Let's get started!
Let It Burn
Chapter One: Escape
[Music suggested: Let It Burn by Red]
Why she did it was unknown to her. Maybe an accident? No, she seemed to purposely knock down that candle and let her living room scorch in flames. Something took over her and made her do that? She couldn't piece the puzzle together. Perhaps it was that; something took over her.
A sharp sizzle above her dispelled her thoughts. Luna looked up, stifling a gasp as she did so. The ceiling, set ablaze, was about to come crumbling down onto the 10 year old.
"Luna!"
Startled by who called her name, she found herself on her back with her brother, Sora over her, sheltering her from the burning wood.
Once the cracking sound ended, Luna whispered, "Thanks, big brother."
He nodded in response and pulled her up. He tugged her sleeve and nodded to exit to his right. "Let's hurry."
Luna nodded, not noticing how his eyes were clouded with grief, and dragged him there. The fire behind her shot up as if angered. Soon, the mansion crumbled down in a heap of wood and fire as everyone escaped.
The family living there stared hopelessly at the remains. Feeling tears well up in her grey-blue orbs, Luna looked away. This was all her fault! If only she hadn't knocked down that candle…
Sora tugged her sleeve questioningly. His warm brown eyes always forced her to blurt out the truth and that was what he was expecting.
Grey and chestnut clashed. Luna stifled a sob, the guilt getting harder to ignore, and skated her foot against the grass covered ground, a habit she does whenever she's hiding something.
Before she knew it, she was spilling out what happened before the fire started.
"I was just dusting the living room and watching tv at the same time while making sure not to knock stuff down!
Flashback:
Luna hummed her favorite tune, skipping around with the living room in beat with the tune waving the duster. She giggled and swept the shelf. The sweet scent of cookies attracted her nose somewhere else however.
Finally finding her target, the girl found herself in front of the candle burning, the smell of delicious treats drifting to her nose again but stronger. Luna smiled.
She sighed and began swiping the shelves under it with the duster when she felt something. Her body started trembling and her eyes darkened to a darker grey. The duster dropped to the ground.
Luna made a whimpering sound as her body shook. What was happening?
Cold glass suddenly made her skin burn. Luna nearly gasped when she saw her own hand grab the candle and throw it to the ground.
The feeling disappeared just as quickly as it came. Luna squeaked and darted out the living room, flames erupting in there.
End Flashback
When she was finished, she was on her knees, burying her face in her hands sobbing.
Sora, in a state of shock, couldn't reassure her that it was okay. His brown eyes were wide, not moving.
Suddenly, Luna lifted herself up and took off, still crying. No one followed or actually tried to, the shock making them like statues. Until Sora snapped out of it and called, "Luna! Come back!" Shaking himself he ran after the fleeing girl.
