Rose: Hey guys, in this chap I made Darien's eye color red. Because I like it... Sorry SilenceWall, I appreciate the review on the color suggestion but I have already decided on the color and it's red and I made it into Darien's eye colour. Again I'm sorry... Thank you for the review though.

Lunar Human Sacrifice

Chapter 6: Color of Love is Red

One day he came to me while I was writing on a bench after I arrived in another different place. He came to me, and I didn't need to watch him.

His name was Darien Shields. He has crimison eyes that reminds me of blood. And reminds me of my old friends' sacrifices. He was older than me of 5 years. I was 15 and will always be 15, while he was 20.

"Can I sit beside you?" he asked.

I didn't answer, instead I just scooted a little to give him space to sit. He sat.

...And did the one thing I hated most.

He took away me black book. My Lunar. My companion. He took away a part of me. He read my black book, my Lunar. After reading the whole thing her gave it back it me.

"Would you follow me?" he asked me.

"I hate you!" I yelled at him and I walked away from him. I left to another park.

It was already dark, but the park was still crowded.

"What's your name little girl?" The people kept asking me.

"Serena." I simply answered them.

"Where do you live and where are your parents?" They still kept on asking.

I was afraid of them, I couldn't remember. In fact, I actually didn't have anything to remember. All I've ever known about my life was in my book. In Lunar.

And the first page of Lunar would be the first day of my life. It started with the word "today".

No dates, no place. I just simply live then and there. Yesterday and now. I'm not even sure if I was born or just simply there.

According to Lunar...

...I started my life since "today". Since the first time I wrote in my black book, Lunar.

Suddenly those who have asked me died. Died in the swipe of a blade, heads cut into pieces. Dropping to the ground.

After that someone was standing right in front of me, who sat on the bench.

It was him. Darien Shields, staring at me intently with his crimison eyes.

"Why did you kill them?" I asked him.

"I was jealous that you told them your name but not telling me first." he answered.

"Why were you jealous?" I asked again.

"Because I love you." he said to me.

And then my feelings were filled with colors. Violet, green and yellow.

I was impressed by his act. (violet)

Pleased that he was so loyal to me, proven by his jealousy. (green)

And happy for his confession. (yellow)

...but love?.. I wasn't sure.

"I hate you!" I said again to him.

"I don't love you. I don't really even know what "love" is." I told him.

"All I know whenever I use the word "love", was when someone prefer something more than anything else in the world, even their life. And would sacrifice anything for it." I finished.

Darien, the one who read my black book, Lunar said.

Darien's dialogue

"You have known love since forever. You've always been loved by many people, according to your book."

"When I read your book, I fell in love with you since you wanted to be loved."

End of Darien's dialogue

I wanted to be loved that was true, but he said that I've always been loved by many people, according to what he read in my book.

Darien's dialogue (again)

"I agree with that." I heard him say.

"But each person had a different love for you."

"Mina Aino loved you for your happiness, which she was the first to make you smile."

"Lita Kino loved you for your loyalty to her and our friendship, she was the one who showed you her loyalty."

"Raye Hino loved you for your admiration, she loved you so much that she would do anything to impress you."

"They are all the same word, "love". But they were given different meanings for different things towards you."

"And you missed the most impotant love of all." he paused.

"And I have the love you needed, I love you a whole. I love everything about you, and that I am jealous of anyone near you. I love you so much that I'll kill anyone that makes me jealous about you."

End of Darien's dialogue

I was silent.

"I don't love you." I said to him again.

"I love you." again he said to me.

"I need proof... Proof, of you loving everything about me. Of a man named Darien Shields loving a teenaged girl named Serena."

He smiled to me.

"Do I have to sacrifice to get your love, like the others in your book?" he asked.

"Maybe..." I whispered but I didn't know he heard me whisper.

But he just smirked and without hesitation he stabbed himself with the blade he used to kill those people who made him jealous.

But he wasn't dead just yet, and I was surprised. He coughed out blood and pulled the blade away from his chest.

"Why did you do that...? Why did you sacrifice yourself when I just said "maybe" that I would love you if you sacrificed yourself.

"Even a "maybe" from you was enough..." he whispered.

I kissed him with all the blood in his mouth. He kissed me like it was all he wanted for his life. He nibbled my lips. He licked everything, as if he didn't want to miss a single thing of me.

"I love you..." He whispered in the kiss.

I broke the kiss.

...and he died.

I smiled as I watched him covered with blood; his eyes gazing towards me. His eyes were crimison red, gazing towards me. Filled with love.

Blood is red. Red is the color of love. Every single drop of blood from my old friends and his, were the proof of their love for me.

...I dropped a tear. Serena cried. Lunar cried. But with a smile, I stood holding onto my black book. And left his dead body.

I was sad. Someone who loved me a whole just left me.

But I was more thrilled. I am thrilled. And forever I will always be.
