Luna gets turned into a vampire when she almost dies and Skai is destroyed. Now what?
Chapter 29 – Gone Through So Much
Lucien's POV
"Mom, you've been kissing nonstop since we got on the plane." I said as she continues assaulting me with kisses all over my head but I didn't fight her off.
We are now on a plane heading back to Minnesota. After destroying Skai and changing Luna into a vampire, we arrived at the airport and booked a flight and now we're heading home. So much has happened, so much I went through. Right now I am sitting between my parents still feeling exhausted from the fight.
"Don't you have any idea how much I went through worrying about you?!" Mom said looking at me.
"Me? I was the one worrying. You guys were the ones that got taken. I had to fight you all." I said looking down.
"It's alright," Dad said patting my shoulder and kissed the top of my head. "You did what you had to do. Just understand that it's our job to be worrying about you, not the other way around." He said and I nodded my head.
"I love you guys." I said earning another kiss from both of them.
"We love you too." Mom said giving me a warming smile. Dad did the same when I turned to him and then I looked over to see Carlisle sitting with Esme and resting her head on Esme's lap was Luna. I can hear Evan and Jacob snoring in a few rows behind us and maybe Sarah as well as they and Nessie were asleep. Everyone was awake due to the lack of sleep but was silent throughout the flight. Even Emmett didn't say a word which is good for us. We all have gone through so much.
"Do you guys think it was right to change Luna?" I asked as I watch Esme stroke Luna's hair.
"Of course." Mom answered.
"Even though it cost everything she has?" I asked turning to them. Because of what happened, Luna will now be immortal. It's not that I'm worried that she might lose herself at the smell of human blood (my vampire scent covers most of my human scent so there's no worry and I'm sure she'll be good when she follows our diet) but she has so much to live for. I mean sure I didn't wanna lose her back there but still,
"She didn't lose everything." Dad said. "She still has her family who now knows what we are thanks to our new improved law so we don't have to fake her death or anything. She can choose to go to college and she has you. I know that's the one thing she wants and that's to be with you, forever."
"You really think so?" I asked hopefully.
"I know so since I went through something similar when I almost died, and the one thing that matters to me in my new life is your mother, and you." He smiled to me.
"Yeah and I can see where our son has gotten his recklessness from, Bryce." Mom said causing dad to chuckle as she rolled her eyes. That's when I yawned.
"Sleep Lucien, you need your rest." Dad said. "You went through a lot this week."
Mom pulled me so that my head was resting on her shoulder. "Sleep well Louie." She said giving me one last kiss. I didn't argue mom for calling me that as I was too tired and closed my eyes drifting into sleep.
Luna's POV
Everything hurts. It hurts a lot. So much pain. That blast when the metal vampires shoot energy beams at us hit me from behind. It was like a quick burning sensation that stung badly. So bad that it was enough to cause everything around me to black out.
That's when I woke up but couldn't see clearly to see Lucien looking at me. I could barely move and that's when Lucien told me to stay put while he fights Skai. I try to stop him from a possible chance of him dying until an explosion came from behind us and I was sent flying until my head hit a pillar and everything went black again.
I slowly opened my eyes to feel my head hurting so much and I was able to see outlines of figures moving. Someone was tied up in chains and I recognized his hair as Lucien and he was facing someone else who I recognized as Skai who walked over to him with his sword and chains in both hands.
No. I can't lose Lucien. He doesn't deserve any of this. Skai shouldn't have taken away the things that mean the world to Lucien and I'm not just talking about me. Yes there's me but there's his family who love him just as much as I do. I will not let Skai hurt Lucien anymore.
Somehow I was able to have the strength to crawl all the way to where Skai and Lucien are. With each crawl, I hear Lucien telling Skai what he went through since Kourtney died, how sorry he is for what he did losing his best friend. Skai was so focused on Lucien that he didn't noticed me standing up, a bit wobbly, and I grabbed his hand when he raised his sword up ready to kill Lucien. When I went further and grabbed the handle of the sword, it started shaking and soon it was glowing as Skai and I were lifted in the air like worms stuck to a hook. Skai was confused and possibly scared at what's going on. Lucien told me to let go. Trust me, I tried but for some reason I couldn't like I was glued to the handle. Next thing that happened was that the sword was glowing brighter until it softly exploded causing me and Skai to finally let go.
As I was falling, I felt a strange sensation in me. It was spreading my center until my whole body. Whatever it was, it was too much for me to handle causing me to black out, again.
"Luna."
Huh? That voice. It spoke.
"Luna."
There it goes again and what's more, I recognized that voice; I haven't heard him in over a year.
"Luna. Don't stop now. You came this far in your life. You've finally become the daughter I know and love who has finally smile. You can't let this end so soon, not with what's happening now."
Dad. I can't believe I'm hearing his voice.
"Luna, hang in there." Dad said. Then another voice spoke.
"Luna, everything's gonna be okay."
Lucien.
"Remember, I'm here for you." That's when I felt something warm against where I felt my cheek and I know for sure that Lucien kissed me. Suddenly, something pierces into my neck causing me to scream.
Everything was burning inside me. First from my neck and then started spreading all over my body like wildfire. It felt like forever until whatever it was pulled out of my neck but this fire is still burning inside me and that's when everything was cut off.
Nothing. Nothing was happening around me. I can't see or move. Maybe I can but I couldn't tell since I couldn't feel anything. Except for this warm feeling where my hand is. I'm sure it's my hand I'm feeling. It was then I was able to see something when I opened my eyes.
The first thing I saw when I woke up is that I'm facing the ceiling; I must be lying down. I moved my eyes around until I turned my head to the right to see him where I realized the warm feeling on my hand.
"Lucien."
"Luna." He smiled. I did the same as I slowly got up.
"What happened?" I asked looking around to be in a room for hospitals but more like at home.
"We're all back at home now." Lucien answered.
"Wait, you mean that everyone…?"
"Yeah it's a lot to explain but basically you were able to cause the sword to react making it release all the vampires that were taken and back to where they belong and the sword itself was destroyed." Lucien explained.
Wow, I had no idea I was able to do such a thing. All I did was wanting to stop Skai from hurting Lucien.
"And Skai?"
Lucien sighed when he said, "We destroyed him. That was his punishment for hurting loves ones and letting power go over his head."
"I'm sorry." I said feeling bad that Lucien officially lost his best friend or ex-friend I guess you would now call him.
"That's all right," He said still holding my hand. "He had it coming so I expected that." He was silent until he said, "There's one more thing that happened." Lucien got me up and walked me over to a mirror and I gasped at my reflection.
I see myself wearing a light blue short wild heart dress. My hair has been straightened out and I appeared to have makeup on me. But that's not what really had my attention. My skin is very pale, my eyes were no longer violet and instead red and I look… beautiful.
"Am I…"
"Yeah," Lucien said walking over and standing behind me to see me watch my reflection. "You're now a vampire. How that happened is that one you hit your head hard that would've killed you and when you reversed the effect of the sword, the explosion was too much for your body to handle. I thought you died but thankfully your heart beat and so Evan gave me permission to change you."
Wow, so I'm a vampire? This is so unreal.
"Are you mad?" I turned to Lucien when he spoke and he looked nervous.
"No, why would I be mad?" I asked.
"I changed you… which mean that you won't get to move on since you will be stuck this way." Lucien said and I shook my head.
"Lucien, I'm not mad," I said. "I know my life won't exactly be the same now but all that matters now is you. All I want in my life is you and you only. My life before and my life now wouldn't be the same if you hadn't come into my life."
"You have no idea how much you've turn my world around." Lucien smiled as he wrapped his arms around me. "If I hadn't met you, I would still be all depressed over what I did long ago with Skai and Kourtney. I love you."
"I love you." I said standing up a little higher to kiss him. I can actually smell something that's mostly sweet yet I smell something not as sweet but it was mostly sweet coming from Lucien. Before I could do anything, Lucien stopped me by placing his fingers on my lips.
"Sorry," He chuckled. "But even though my vampire scent covers up almost my human scent, you need to get that thirst of yours under control." That's when I felt something burning in my throat.
"Come on, I'm taking you out. This time for your first hunt." Lucien said taking my hand and soon led me out the window flying to the ground and straight into the woods.
I don't wanna go into details but let's just say I need help on hunting. It took me like ten times until I was able catch a deer and feed from its blood. The taste? I wouldn't say it taste bad more like… unappealing but its making me feel stronger and helps me in control of myself.
"How do you feel?" Lucien asked after I was done and we were walking back to the Cullen house together.
"This is a lot to get used to more than hearing about it." I said causing Lucien to chuckle when we arrived at the house outside.
"Hold on, before we go in, I just need to let you know something." Lucien said stopping me. "You're right now a newborn vampire which means not only you will be temporary stronger than a normal vampire especially Evan and Emmett, but you might have the hardest control. We told Maureen and Korrina and Damien and Calvin what happened and they understood the situation that since they are humans, their scents will give out to you making it difficult for you control even with the animal blood you have drank. We just don't want you to hurt them until you're ready especially that since Damien and Korrina are Evan and Sarah's imprints."
I can't help but feel nervous. I don't wanna lose control of myself since my family and friends might smell good for me to control myself but I can't just avoid them for like weeks or maybe months until I was ready. I have to do this.
"If I don't control myself, get me out of here as fast as you can." I said and Lucien nodded giving me a kiss before he took my hand and led me inside where we saw everyone in the living room; all of the Cullen family, mom and Korrina and Damien and Calvin all turned when they saw us.
"Um, hey guys." I said nervously.
"Luna!" Korrina cried happily and ran towards me before mom and Evan could stop her giving me a big hug.
I froze where I was unsure what to do. I looked at Lucien who still has my hand in his.
"I believe in you." He said and I slowly let go of his hand and wrapped my arms carefully around Korrina. I can smell her blood which is weird. It was like calling to me, tempting to be more elaborate. But I knew better than to listen to that voice because this is my sister we're talking about. That goes the same with mom, Damien, Calvin and everyone I know as humans. I will not use them for my own survival.
"Hey Korrina." I said.
"You're look very pretty!" Korrina said looking at me, smiling.
"Come on, I'm not as pretty as you." I chuckled.
"But you're prettier, like a real princess!" Korrina said.
"Why thank you." I smiled and let go of her and looked up to see Evan looking relieved giving me a smile as mom walked over to me.
"I just started getting the hang of this whole supernatural and now I'm seeing my daughter as a vampire?" She teased.
"You're okay with this?" I asked.
"Hey, what matters is that you're alright. And if you're okay with what you want, then I'm happy." Mom smiled as I did too when I gave her a hug.
"I'm so glad you're okay." Mom said as I heard her crying softly.
"I'm glad you and Korrina are okay." I said. Mom let go and kissed my cheek before letting Damien and Calvin come over.
"Wow," Damien said looking at me head to toe to head. "Just… wow."
"I'll take that as a compliment." I chuckled and hugged Damien.
"Now everyone at school will not stop talking about you. First you as the new student, you and Lucien and now you and your new look? You're on a roll girl." Damien teased when we let go and Calvin gave me a hug.
"These things will not stop surprising me, will it?" He said.
"No I don't think they will." I chuckled. "Thanks for taking care of my mom while we were gone."
"Hey, I love you just as I love your mother. I should be thanking you and Korrina for allowing me and Damien to be a part of you girls' and your mother's lives. And I'm happy to see you are okay." Calvin said and kissed my head.
"Welcome to our family." Esme smiled as she went over to hug me.
"You look amazing Luna!" Nessie said hugging me as well and soon I was passed around to everyone hugging me which makes me happy.
"So what now?" I asked after all the hugging was done.
"Well," Lucien said wrapping his arm around my waist. "Skai is gone, the sword is destroyed, all the vampires and everyone that were taking from it are free, with the dead ones back to being dead, and you're now a vampire and is capable of controlling herself around humans, I'm not exactly sure what's next."
"I know what to do!" Alice said and we all turned to see her jumping up and down excitedly.
"Oh no!" Evan complained as Edward groaned. What?
"Apparently with new members in our family, we celebrate, and that gives Alice an excuse to throw a party." Sarah said.
"Oh." I said. "We don't have to make it big." I said to Alice.
"Oh yes we do! Be right back!" Alice said and then left the room in high speed.
"There's no end to that pixie is there?" Tiffany said.
"No." The rest of the Cullens said and most of them left the room to get the party started while some chat with my mom and Calvin. Evan and Sarah were mostly the ones talking to Korrina and Damien respectively.
"How are you feeling Luna?"Lucien asked me mentally. I turned around wrapping my arms around him burying my face in his chest.
"I'm so happy." I said.
"Me too," Lucien said. "I never would've thought…" He sighed and I looked up to him smiling.
"I know. Believe me I do." I said as Lucien smiled my favorite smile and he leaned down to kiss my lips.
I am not done yet you guys! Please review and go to my poll.
