Chapter 7-It's the Final Coutdown
As I was racing towards I keep hearing everyone chant, "Fight it Stela!", "Snap out of it Stela!", "Come on Yuelia!" and many more. I kept trying to fight the power, but I guess NightMare made it harder for me to break free. Anyways, as I was racing towards Yuelia, I made a beam of light. Well I guess I'm controller of the stars so I had to use my powers sooner or later, but I never wanted to. Yuelia jumped and try talking to me. "Stela, it's me, Yuelia! Don't you remember?" I just grabed my bow and use some kind of spell to make meteors come out instead of arrows (but smaller, of course). I kept flinging them at her like a catapult. I could tell she didn't want to hurt me, so she kept on dodging my attacks but didn't fire back.
"Come on Stela, fight the rage. I know you don't want to do this!" she said.
I paused for a while. Yuelia, is that you? But then I snapped out of it and kept attacking.
"Daddy, can we join along?" Luna asked. "Not now Luna!" NightMare yelled. I saw the disappointed look on their face. They must have never had a father-kid relationship.
Then herd something. I looked up. Everyone in their cages got released. They dropped from the sky, landing on their feet (well, Pino landed on his bottom but everyone else is alright). NightMare looked shocked, which made me shocked. I thought he let them out. But since he looks like he didn't, then who did? NightMare went from shock face to, 'this is an opportunity moment.' "Well, looks like you guys want to join the fun, hu?" he said. "Well then, you are more than welcome to join. Stela attack them, NOW!"
I went charging towards Lauren, but I was hoping I would dodge or anything that means I will miss her. She luckily pushed me out of the way. I slammed against the wall, hard. "I'm sorry, Stela" Lauren said. It's okay, I thought. But that's what my head was saying. The outside of me was showing I was mad. I started darting towards her, but Olive jumped in front of her. "Arrgh, walk the plank. Snap out of it Stela!' she said. I just made a sword out of stars (it wasn't hot though).
"Ey, is that's how it's going to be, then fine!"
She grabbed out her sword, and started fencing me. Back and forth we went. *Clang, clang, clang*, went our swords. Unfortunately, no luck for Olive. I flung the sword right out of her hands. She watched it fling out of her hands and into the wall. I was about to slay her until Andy grabbed his sword and started fencing me. (Note- I know Andy doesn't have a sword but I wanted him to be part of this fight). "Hey! No one messes with my sister!" he yelled. We were fencing like Olive and I where, but this was easier. I knew he never worked a sword before, so I knew I was going to win. After I flung his sword and cornered them, Pino and Leiah came in front of me.
"Back away Stela! Please come back to us!" Leiah said.
I was about to take care of her, but NightMare had a plan in mind. "I remember you." He said, "You are the girl who got bitten by the monster my Doomstone created."
"You are responsible for the Doomstones!" King Erik yelled.
"You bet your tinny crown king. Now time to make some more." NightMare raised his hand and made those shadow wolves (I don't know what else to call them -.-''). They were running towards her. Leiah! No! I thought. I grabbed my bow and did the multiply arrow shooting, making them vanish.
"Stela?" Leiah said. I can tell she was wondering if I broke out of the spell, so did I. But no. I only broke out of it just to do that. I went back to attacking Leiah. Just as I was running towards her, Pino came in front of me. He grabbed his hat and whacked me. Bam! I hit the floor hard. He must have known I was still up though. "Leiah run!" he said. He went running as well.
Just when I was about to run after them, Daemon jumped in front of me. "Stela, it's me! Daemon!" he said. I kept trying to warn him to run, but he didn't. "Daemon, agh, run from, *low growl* me" I said. He just shook his head. I kept trying to fight it, but it was no use. Just when I was about to make a blast at him, he held up the flower he gave me earlier. I must have dropped it when we were picked up by the dust. I paused. Looking at the flower seemed to drag me out of the spell. "See, Stela!" he said, "Remember when you weren't like this. When we had fun together. When you and your friends had fun. I know you're in there! Snap out of it!" He shook me at the last part.
"Daemon?" I mumbled.
He smiled hoping I was out of it. I was about to hug him until, the evil side kicked in. I covered my eyes, I was trying to fight it. One I had enough, I dropped to the floor. "Quick grab her, before she gets up and attacks us again!" I heard Andy yelled. I felt Olive and Lauren picking me up. I opened my eyes a little, but my vision was blurry. Yuelia was walking towards my and put her hand on my forehead. "From goddess of the moon to goddess of the dark moon, power to force, light into shadows. Help me get my friend back. Let her remember, give her soul back, freedom, give her back!" she chanted. Light dust started surrounding me, covering me like a blanket. When I opened my eyes, it was gone. I didn't had that rage anymore, the fire was gone. I stared at Yuelia with a big smile. "You freed me. Thank you, THANK YOU" I yelled. I ran and hugged her tight. She smiled and said, "You're welcome"
"NOOOOOO." I heard. We all turned around and saw NightMare furriest. "Stellar, you're supposed to fallow my commands. You're the daughter that's supposed to do as I say. That's why you neckless turn- Oops."
I finally figured it out. My neckless. That's the reason why I'm like this. Why I have all these powers, why NightMare can control me so easily, but most importantly, make me like him. I know what I have to do.
"Is this why you want me!" I yelled. "Just to have me do your dirty work?" I grabbed my neckless and pulled it of my neck. "If this piece of jewelry makes me like this mad creator, this madness person. Then I know what I must do!"
NightMare looked worried at me. "Stellar, what are you doing with that?"
I then threw my neckless against the ground, smashing it into pieces. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" he yelled. He, all of a sudden, had black smoke surrounding him. I kept trying to pick up my neckless pieces and putting them back together, but it didn't He yelled "I shall return and get my revenges on all of you, Stellar, you shall regret the day you where created! Ahahahahahahah!" Then he disappeared. We all where silent.
"What happen?" asked Andy. "He disappear into the air. Without our necklaces, there is not god of the dark side of the moon" Dark said. "Well that explains why he tried to put it back together earlier." Pino said. "Come on. Lets go back to Castle, I'll explain everything back there." I said. Dark looked a little disappointed that I get to go back to the human world and he's stuck here. I then remembered how many times he asked about humans. Maybe he was hinting that he want to visit our world one day, just like Yuelia.
"Dark you want to come?" I asked
He smiled and said, "I would love to." He stood next to me
We both looked at Luna, hitting that we want her to come.
"Fine I'll come. Only because Andy needs my half of powers to teleport you guys to that….world"
I smiled at her sarcastically. "She totally wants to come." I whispered to Dark. "Agreed" he responded
"From here to there, send us humans and gods/goddesses to the planet Rivera!" Luna and Dark chanted
At Revira
When we all opened our eyes, we were outside of the castle. "Ok, Stela, can you explain your story now." Lauren asked. And so I did
Once I was done, everyone was staring at me. "So do you want us to consider you as a goddess or just a common hunter." I just smiled, "Consider me as your common folk. I'm not a goddess anymore, not since I lost my powers." Yuelia had this 'you're wrong' smile on her face. I looked at her and said, "What?"
She responded, "You see, Stela. Before we came back here, Dark grabbed the pieces of your neckless and used both of our powers to put it back together. See." She grabbed out my neckless from her pocket. I took it and hugged her. "Thank you" I said. She smiled and said, "Don't give me all the credit. Dark did the work as well." I looked at him. He waved at my shyly. I ran over to him and hugged him was well.
"Thank you Dark. Really."
He just smiled, "Eh it's no problem. I kinda think you're a cool sister anyways."
"HEY! I'm right here!" Luna yelled.
"Yah, yah. You're cool to Luna." Dark said sarcastically. "By the way, thanks for freeing her friends." Luna stared at him angrily. "Ho-how did you know?" she said.
"I saw you pressing the button. That's how."
I smiled at her. "Aww so you do care about me." I said cutely. She yelled, "NO! I just thought that… I….YOU!" and she walked away. I high-5ed Dark.
Later, everyone in Castle was dancing under the moonlight. People where chit-chating, dancing, eating, anything you would see people do at a party.
I was back in my hunter clothes, dancing with Yuelia. Then Daemon came. "Hu-hi Stela." he stammered. "Ooooh. I'll leave you two alone." Yuelia giggled. I just stood there blushing, so was Daemon.
"So you're a goddess now" he said.
"Uhh-yah." I answered
It was awkward, until Luna came. "Oh for crying out louad!" she said.
"Look Daemon. I don't know why my sister like people, but she does. And she likes you."
"Hey!"
"Let me finish. Stela, I don't know why you never noticed, but Daemon likes you back! So you two stop acting like you have no feelings and start loving!" then she walked away.
Daemon started blushing. His cheeks where like mine, red as cherries. "So, you like me?" I asked nervously. He was silent but finally said, "Yah. Do you?" I smiled and leaned in to kiss him. "Does that answer your question?" He smiled and started twirling me. We both danced the night away.
Once the clock struck 12, everyone started going home. "Are you sure you don't want to stay with us?" asked Dark. They were just about to leave back to the dark side of the moon. "I'm sure. This is my home and I can't leave them. Ever." I responded. Luna stepped forward about to say something to me. I expected her to complain about me staying. But she didn't. Insteed she hugged me saying, "Remember to visit little sis." I felt happy that she carred about me. Maybe all sassy people have a good side. "I will, promise"
"Hey before we go lets do a light show!" Dark said.
And that is what we did. Luna made a full moon, Dark made the sky darker, and I made the stars bright like a diamond. It was a beautiful night, and it's a night I won't forget.
