Lonely
Chapter ten: Nightbeam Valley
O
Roger Moontooth's POV
5 years in the future...
I don't usually walk out the headquarters nowadays…
Well, besides today… I normally stay inside since of the danger that surrounds the world these days. The only time we leave is for finding Intel or other resistance. Oh, and today when I just felt I had to go out…
It was a long time I just stared at the night sky, but that's because the sky is mostly red and full with storms nowadays.
But the moon I still visible and so is the sun in mornings, but just barely, and only for a short time.
Our planet is slowly dying cause of these demons… The "Adnihilos". And all we can do right now is sit here.
It's almost impossible to kill one, and we have no idea where they are hiding. But dad says that if we train with the right technique and weapons, we shall be able to defeat them.
Soon I hope… otherwise we are doing this for no reason.
I wonder if she is out there somewhere…
Amy… and Sonic too. What happened with you guys? Are you still alive, maybe just too busy with your own life's and problems to join the fight?
I just hope she's alright, and all of them!
If anyone of them died…
…we may not win.
Roger "Moon" Woodstock's POV
"Present" time.
"Morning handsome."
She smiles at me, her makeup catching my attention.
I mean, it doesn't look bad but rather... wow. Like, wow!
Wait, am I checking her out?
...wow... just wow... I was checking her out...
I shake my head, trying to concentrate on what's going on.
"You might just feel a growing headache, so drink this." The dark brown wolverine, Brianna, says as she holds a glass of water for me.
"Ehm, sure... thanks."
I slowly get up and take a seat on the bed as I grab the glass, my eyes mostly looking at my surrondings.
Is this an hotel room...? Where am I?
"What is this place?" I ask Brianna, drinking the content inside the glass. "Where am I exactly?"
She smirks at me after I drank the water and stands up from the chair as she begins to walk towards a wardrobe.
"You're in Hotel Calefornia, located at Nightbeam valley." She says as she opens the wardrobe, taking out a black leather coat.
I raise my eyebrow, not recalling to have ever heard the name "Nightbeam Valley".
I feel like I want to ask her more about the village, but I feel how my head begins to empty it's thoughts.
I feel rather calm...
"How you feel?" She asks me, holding out the clothing towards me. "Here, take this. Thought you didn't want to wear that orange jumpsuit all the time."
I blink several times as I stand up, feeling my thoughts being sucked out of my head. What in...?
"I feel..." I say, placing my hand on my head as I try to concentrate on what's going on. How did I esc-
My thoughts escapes my mind once more as I hear Brianna giggle. I simply smile back as I take the coat just before putting it on, the prison jumpsuit now being hidden under the new clothing.
"I feel good." I say with a smile, somehow... No, I feel good. Safe. Good. I wanna do something, now. Kind of...
What's going on with my thou-
"Great." She smirks at me as she begins to look at my current clothing. "You look good in that coat, Moon. Makes you look mysterious... Like Neo from Matrix."
A chuckle escapes my mouth as I nod, and she smirks in return.
"Why don't you come with me, and I'll show you around?" She says as she walks over to the door, winking at me.
I open my mouth as I try to say 'Sorry, but I think my friend and I should try and get out of here as soon as possible. The police might be looking for us.' But that isn't happening...
In stand:
"Yeah... Yeah. I would like that."
No matter the confusion I feel in my head over my own words, I smirk back at her as she opens the door and walks out. She gives me the sign to follow, which I do.
What's happening with my personality and thoughts! The smartest thing would be to start my journey by talking to Andy to understand what's going on and where we should go!
But in stand I'm following this flirty wolverine girl... as she's showing me... the... town...
...Man she looks good...
Wait, what? WHAT?
OH for god's sake! What am I thinking? Why is my mind not... going... like... it...
...where you been all my life...?
Woah, no! Snap out of it Moon, snap out of it! This isn't you! Or...?
I don't even know anymore...
You gotta admit she looks good.
Okey fine she does, now shut up...
Aw geez, this is annoying!
...but she finally shows me out of the hotel and I am meet by loud noises and music. The village's houses are empty as what seems to be every teenager in here are at the plaza partying and dancing to music.
Woah, these guys like party.
Brianna takes my hand as she guides me through all the people, the smirk still on her face.
I look down on my hand that she softly is holding, any thoughts about it fading.
"-and I tell you, prison is not pretty. I had to fight five... no, TEN assholes who just didn't like me for no reason!"
I turn my head to the right to see Andy in some white hip-hop clothes sitting on a bench surrounded by three wolverine girls, probably those cousins Brianna told me about, and sharing false stories with them.
Show off...
They giggle as they get closer to him despite his obvious lies, one of them giving him a can of beer without any name logo on.
Is that shit illegal?
"Oh, another one? Sure!" He says foolishly and grabs the can, opening it and drinking it's content in seconds. "Woah, this thing tastes good! We need some of these were I live. Whatever, let's PARTY! WOOOH!"
Idiot...
I sigh, shaking my head at his stupidity. I just can't understand that guy. He really is more like his sister, but acts like some total other guy becasue he is afraid how the world will react.
He reminds me of... me.
I sigh, looking back at Brianna who now have stopped. I just want to get out of here... I wanna leave. I don't want to party.
I just want... to die...
Too much? No. I had suicidal thoughts a long time now. I didn't die in prison... so I'm gonna have to kill myself, by myself.
Not here though. Too risky.
"You're so..." Brianna says, placing her hands on my shoulders. "...stressed. Why so serious? You gotta forget the sadness and let out all the good things. Forgett the darkness and the past. Forget the future and tommorow. Live for today. Just live. Have fun."
She smirks as she begins to move a bit with the beat from the music, the music that everyone else is dancing too.
"Dance with me."
I sigh as I look up at the sky, seeing something I just forgot existed.
A big clean sky... with stars and a world different from us.
And the moon... that shares the beams of the sun.
"Please...?"
I look down at the wolverine girl to find out that she is standing there, looking at me. She really wants to dance.
Heh.
Heh...
Forget the future...?
Forget tommorow...
Live for the present...
Live for today.
"Okey." I say as I smile at her with a nod. "Okey. Don't wanna think about the shit of tommorow anyways."
She smirks as we both begin to dance, just having fun, forgetting the world around us.
Cause I don't want to worry about the future any longer.
'Believe me Moon... you'll never have to worry about the future anymore. I'll make sure of that.'
There's something odd about that village... Where are all adults?
And what's the thing with Brianna?
Or maybe Moon is just over anylyzing, and should relax?
And party, forgetting about the tommorow.
Forever...
Moon's not the only one with fangs...
Hang on thight, it's far from over.
