Welcome to a new story! Think I'd bugger off for a few months? Wrong! I'll keep writing for my audience! This one's been in the works for a few months now. This young Moon will be very different from my previous works and canon. Rated M for some graphic scenes. It's time for a new adventure, full of puns and magic! Let the adventure begin!
Mewni AU
"Come on River!"
"Princess Moon this isn't a good idea!"
"Oh come on! Where's your sense of adventure?", Moon goaded River. Why couldn't be get on board with her? He had done several crazy adventures with her before! It wasn't like as though she was doing anything too dangerous. All she wanted to do was snatch the wand from her mom when she wasn't looking. 'Okay, maybe he doesn't want to get in trouble', Moon admits. She wasn't supposed to get the wand until her next birthday, but she wanted it now! Her mother only allowed her to use the wand sparsely. She needed more! Now she'll need River for her plan to work.
" I don't want to get caught red handed! "
"Oh you're already 'red' River", Moon teased him.
" Oh corn, I'm not blushing at all", River protested. He hated it when she joked about his blushing face, yet he still loved it. Moon was quite possibly the most amazing girl he's ever met. He had a crush on her since the first time they met. His feelings for her only deepened as time went by. River wanted so badly to confess his feelings to her. In fact, the only reason why he didn't want to confess was the fear of rejection. He'd have the courage someday to confess but now wasn't it.
"Why you're red as a tomato!"
" Am not! "
"Oh River, you're so adorable! I just want to boop your cheeks!", Moon giggled. He was so easy to get flustered! Maybe he does have a crush on her! That thought made her giggle softly to River's embarrassment.
" I'm not adorable, I'm tough! ", River denied.
" Wait you aren't either of those things", Moon tapped his shoulder.
"Then what am I?" , River asked, confused to what she'd say next.
"You're the most precious thing in the multiverse!" , Moon answered.
"MOON!" , River covered his face in embarrassment. Why was she so good at telling he had something for her! She sure knew how to push his buttons. He better watch out for what she's planning next. 'What's the next thing that'll happen, she'll kiss me?', River sarcastically thought. To his astonishment, she gave him a light peck on the cheeks. His brain shut down from that single kiss. If he wasn't blushing hard before, now he was definitely blushed even harder than before. The girl he loved just kissed him! This was the best moment of his life!
"Now what'd you say River? Wanna have a little bit of an adventure?"
" Yes please", River nodded numbly.
"Then follow me!" , Moon gestured.
River obediently followed Moon to meet up with her mother. On most days Queen Comet was actually a nice person who actually cared about her subjects. When push comes to shove, however, she could be one's worse nightmare. She was more then capable of spanking the living daylights out of someone. River hoped that Queen Comet wouldn't catch him because he wasn't particularly in the mood for a spanking.
"So what's the plan again?"
" You'll distract my mother so I can go get the wand! Then meet me at our special place ", Moon explained.
" How will I do that? "
"I don't know. Just think up of something. Just make sure she doesn't see me", Moon shrugged. This should be a walk in the park. She knew she'd get in trouble later, but the rewards were worth the consequences!
" Right! "
"Now quiet. We're almost at my mom's office. I'll hide so you can get her out of there", Moon hushed him.
" Sorry", River grumbled.
They soon reached the queen's office in a few minutes. Moon hid behind one of the many pillars along the walls of the castle. She gave him a thumbs up once she was in position. River began to sweat profusely as he reached to open the door. He started to regret his decision to go along with this crazy scheme of Moon. 'Too late to turn back now', he gulped. He opened the to see Queen Comet working on paperwork as usual. She noticed him immediately and have him a smile.
"Why hello River. What brings you to my office?"
" I uh have bad news your majesty", River stuttered.
"What bad news?" , Comet raised her eye.
"Moon ate too much candy. She's rampaging through the town as we speak!" , River blurted out. He's could swear he heard Moon's faint groaning. Queen Comet however was less than pleased.
"I told her to cut down on her sugar consumption! I'll be right there!" , Queen Comet groaned. She then rushed out of her office to find her troublesome daughter. Comet was reminded of her own chaotic teenage years. She went through many different places and even got pregnant at the age of thirteen! At least her daughter hasn't done anything irreversible yet.
"Aren't you coming River?"
" Ri-Right ", he nodded rapidly.
River took off with the queen, leaving only Moon behind. She grinned as her plan had worked out so far. She quietly stepped out of her hiding spot and edged closer to the office. 'Mom should really take a day off', Moon thought sympathetically. The amount of paperwork her mother has to do was absurd! It would only get worse ever since her mother started to negotiate a peace treaty with the monsters. Moon shuddered at the thought of having to one day carry this burden one day. Shaking her head, she searched through the place until she found her goal, the royal magic wand! The family heirloom had kept her family in power for many generations, and it'll be her's soon! Moon quickly snatched the wand before running out of the office in a hurry. Moon let out a chuckle while she was thinking about all the fun she was about to have.
Meanwhile, Comet and River were running through the streets of the capital city looking for Moon. She shouldn't be too difficult to spot since everyone should know who the royal princess was. Unfortunately for the two of them, Moon was no where to be found. Moon seemingly had just disappeared. That shouldn't be possible as she was extremely destructive while having sugar highs. The last time she had a sugar high, she torched half of a village looking for candy! It was a sight to behold seeing peasants scrambling from a sugar fiend Moon. Something wasn't adding up.
"Why haven't we seen Moon pie yet?" , Comet scratched her chin.
"I don't know your majesty. Perhaps she's hiding", River suggested.
" That's impossible! She'd cause more destruction then a monster raid ", Comet scoffed.
" Then what other explanation could there be? ", River pointed out.
" It doesn't make any sense at all. She should be easily spotted unless... ", Comet trailed off. 'Wait a moment. If she doesn't want to be found then where would she be? Unless this was a rouse!', Comet realized. She suddenly turned around towards River as she gave him the most frightening glare she could muster. She needed answers NOW!
" River, my dear River, would you mind telling where my Moon pie REALLY is? "
"I, uh don't know", River lied. Comet's glare only intensified from his lie. 'I'm definitely toast. I'm too young to die!', River panicked. How was he ever going to get out of this situation alive?
"Don't play dumb River. I know she's up to something. So where is she?"
" I-I", River stuttered. He was definitely dead after this.
"I'll give you from a count of three to tell me where she is or you'll regret it", Comet tapped impatiently.
" One."
"Two."
What should he do? Should he rat out his crush or cave in? River hated high tension, quick thinking situations with a passion. He couldn't think in this type of pressure! Crap! Crap! Crap! He needed more time to think!
"Three!"
" So River, what's your response? ", Comet asked politely.
" I don't know", River answered shakily.
"Well then. You're going to have a bad time!" , Comet chuckled evilly. She suddenly levitatoed River close to her. She then summoned a paddle out of thin air. 'Crap! Anything but this! ', River looked on, horrified. It was her legendary spanking! If anything could make someone behave, then a good spanking was sure means of doing so. Even Moon knew better then to piss her mother off badly or she'll face the mighty paddle. Screw it! He valued his behind's wellness more then a promise of adventure.
"Wait! Wait! I know where she is! She's going to take your wand!" , River finally caved in.
"Not again!" , Comet groaned. This was the third time her daughter tried to take the wand without permission this 's! Can't her daughter wait for another year until she gets it? Of course her daughter would inherit her own adventurous genes. Maybe some etiquette classes would do some good.
"I think I know where she'll go. You follow me", Comet glared at River before opened a portal with her dimensional scissors to catch Moon.
" Yes your majesty! "
River followed Comet through the portal to hopefully save his behind. He emerged on a hill that overlooked Butterfly Castle that had an absolutely stunning view of Mewni. For as far as the eye can see there were corn fields with the occasional town here and there. The Forest of Certain Death could be seen bordering the corn fields. Finally the two moons of Mewni could be seen in most days clearly. The view was why this was one of River's favorite places to go whenever he had a picnic with Moon. Moon never told her mother about this place, but Comet found out anyways through discrete means. Comet's guess was correct for they spotted Moon sitting down, waiting for him. She immediately turned to face River with a smile on her face.
"River you're here and is that my..."
" Hello Moon pie", Comet smiled warmly.
"Mom", Moon responded in a strained voice. Why was she here?! River was supposed to distract her, not lead her here!
" Can you care to explain why poor River was leading me on a wild goose chase? ", Comet asked sarcastically.
" I uh, was just wanting to get some fresh air", Moon lied. Moon knew her mother wouldn't buy her lie as soon as her mother started to tap her feet. Her mother always did that when she got in trouble.
"River told me otherwise."
Moon shot him a dirty look for ratting her out, and he gave a sheepish smile in return. Damn it! She shouldn't of told him where she'll be. He's make sure he'll pay for this! But first she'll have to avoid her mother's punishment lectures. By the stump her lectures were more boring then listening to the daily report of corn! She went along with operation get the hell out of dodge to avoid punishment.
"He was making stuff up."
"Then what are you hiding in you're pocket? "
"It's just candy mom", Moon rolled her eyes.
" Then take it out slowly", Comet told her daughter.
"Okay. Here it is", Moon grabbed her wand very slowly. This would be a good time to use a distraction to gain a head start. A good sparkle bomb would do the trick. Hopefully that'll stun her mother long enough to get a good heads start.
" Super Glitter Blindness! ", Moon whipped out her wand. A ball of glitter blasted both her mother and River. Not looking back to see if it worked, Moon ran as fast as possible. She had to get as far away from here as possible! She ran straight into the Forest of Certain Death.
Meanwhile, both Comet and River were trying to wipe off the glitter from their face. River did not expect Moon to hit them with a glitter explosion. Now Moon was definitely toast if her mom caught her. He felt a pang of pity for her for the upcoming punishment she'll receive. Comet, however, was less than amused by her daughter's antics. She let our a roar to signal that playtime was over before she chased down her daughter.
" MOON! "
River decided to tag along to see how it'll end. Despite Moon's considerable head start, Comet managed to slow down Moon by casting several spells. Moon had to spend time trying to dodge the spells or she'll be seen flying into the air or stopped by a magical wall. That wasn't to say the chase was easy as Moon began to fire her own spells from her wand. Ann exchange of purple firsts, purple beams, glitter, and butterfly bombs were exchanged between the two Butterflies. It would of been cool to watch it the two weren't so destructive. Rocks were being smashed into two, and trees were being blown to bits. River could really see where Moon got her destructive streak from.
"Give up Moon pie!"
" Never! ", Moon yelled back defiantly. She then cast out another spell to try to lose her two pursuers.
" Mega Amethyst Roadblock! "
Several massive purple spikes appeared from the ground to block the way. It would of stopped any normal Mewman, but Comet was having none of this. She grabbed River's hands as she pointed her hand downwards.
"Magical Levitation Blast!" , Comet screamed out. A beam propelled the two into the air over the menacing spikes. River screamed out loud from being launched well over a hundred feet into the air. He was too young to die! Luckily Comet already accounted for the fall.
"Exotic Cushioning Sofas!" , Comet chanted at the last possible second. Several sofas appeared below them to cushion their fall. Comet had a vicious grin as she continued onwards. Revenge will be sweet this time around!
Moon looked back to see the two overcome her spikes. Damn it! At this rate they'll catch her. If she's caught then She'll be sent to purgatory! She'll never be caught alive! Well it's time to call in the big guns!
"Magical gatling gun of doom!"
A magical gatling gun appeared on Moon's back like a backpack. It revved up before it spewed out hundreds of magical bolts. Thinking fast, Comet out up a magical shield to absorb the bolts of magic. Boot after bolt were either reflected or absorbed by the shield. She held up the shield until the gatling gun finally ran out of energy to fire. Moon looked in horror at how her spells weren't doing anything.
"Give up Moon pie! You know you're outmatched!"
" You'll never take me alive! ", Moon responded with another rainbow punch.
" Then so be it", Comet sighed. Her daughter really was an idiot. She burst into her butterfly mode for maximum power. Her daughter was really getting it now! Comet grabbed River with two arms while her other four arms were blasting Moon. Moon was so distracted by the barrage that she failed to notice Comet swooping in from above using her wings. Comet knocked her daughter to the ground with just one sweep. Moon was knocked over on her back by the impact.
"Oww!" , Moon groaned in pain.
"Ha take that!", Comet shouted from above. She had her now! Her daughter was going to have a bad time now! Oh Comet had her most boring lecture coming up! That'll teach her troublesome daughter a lesson!
" Princess Moon are you alright? ", River asked, concerned for his crush.
" Get away from me you traitor! ", Moon screamed back. How dare he act so innocent when he caused this incident! River withered from her soul piercing gaze.
" It's over Moon, I have the high ground! ", Comet declared.
" Never! You'll never take me alive!", Moon yelled defiantly.
"I guess I'll have to drag you back home. Oh well, the more struggle, the more fun it is for me. Here comes mama!" , Comet glided down to swoop her daughter.
Crap! Crap! Crap! What was she supposed to do? She couldn't win against her mother in her butterfly mode. She had two options, surrender or fight to the bitter end. Option one was definitely off the table, but option two will cause her to be in even more trouble then she was in. The only option was for her to make up an ultimate spell to try to overwhelm her mother. Thinking out random words, Moon chanted a completely new spell.
"Ultra Mythical Butterfly Transfor-Ah! Portation" , Moon was interrupted by her mother swooping down on her and forced her to deal the wand. Damn it! She messed up with the final words! Now her mother will surely pick her off easily. She was about to rant even more when massive surge of energy flowed through her. Oh the power! She felt like she could take on the world! With her newfound power, she was about to face her mother until a massive portal appeared from below her, swallowing her whole. She could briefly make out her mom's and River's panicked faces before the portal closed completely and surrounding her in pitch darkness.
"AHHHHHHH! Moon screamed out at the top of her lungs. She's so dead! Not figuratively but literally! She'd land in a random location and splatter her brains of even worse, be stuck in the void between dimensions. That was a fate worse then death as she'll slowly did from dehydration. It's said that anybody's soul trapped in the void can never be at peace for eternity. It was superstition, however, Moon was terrified of it was actually real. She'll die alone with no one before she finally dies. Then her soul will be drifting through the void until she lost her sanity. 'There's no escape, is there? ', Moon wept silently. She should of been a good girl and listened to her mother but nope! She wanted adventure! Now she was paying for her mistakes.
Moon wondered how her mother will react to her disappearance. Need mother will probably mourn her death before moving on. Need mother will have to have another daughter to inherit the throne. Need mother will then tell her new daughter about how not to misuse the wand. Moon could only imagine all of the stories that'll pop up from this mishap. She'll be known as Moon the Clumsy. Moon felt shame eating her from the inside out. Strangely, she felt a bit of rage thinking about Her mother mocking her. She shook her head to they to clear up her thoughts, yet those thoughts still persisted for some reason.
Her thoughts soon drifted to how River would react to this. He'd be devastated by her disappearance! He had only a few friends and no girls. She felt guilty leaving him alone. If only she was smart enough to listen to her mother's advices. Moon had a feeling that River will never recover from her disappearance. Moon knew that he had a crush on her. River tried to be subtle, but he ended up looking like a silly idiot. 'He deserves better then me', Moon cried internally. He needed someone smarter with better common sense. Hopefully he gets someone he deserves even if it isn't her. 'Well I guess I'll rot here for eternity ', Moon thought sarcastically. She had nothing better to do but to wait it out until her death.
Some Time Later
Was it weeks, months, or years since she was first stuck here? Who knows? Time was irrelevant here. There was no way to accurately keep track of time. Weeks seemed to fade into months in an instant. Not that it mattered anyways. She had forgotten much about her previous life. In fact, she even forgot how she got here. The only thing she remembered was her first name and her general age.
No memory of her parents, occupation, or even birthday, just her name and age. She had forgotten what it felt like to feel warmth of cold since the void was the same temperature always. She had forgotten what food tasted like since she was a spirit. She had completely forgotten everything, though she really didn't care anymore. She just gave up caring a long time ago.
Moon often wondered what her life was before getting here was. Was she somebody important or somebody poor? Perhaps she was rich? Or she could of been poor. What was it like to eat a bowl of soup? Or feel the warmth of the sun? She knew that her memory began to get hazy after a while in the void before going completely blank soon after. She at first desperately tried to regain her memories but to no avail.
She wept, can spirits even cry?, at first, having lost her memories, until she developed an indifferent attitude. If she didn't care about anything then she'd have no reason to be upset. So instead she made up mental games to pass the time. She didn't have anything but her creativity. At first her games were elaborate with many components. As time went on, she began to grow lazier and lazier until she made the games with only a few components. She had truly lost her sanity.
She was about to continue her daily routine when she spotted a small bright light. 'Huh, that's interesting', Moon shrugged indifferently. It was usually pitch black in the void so a bit of light was interesting. She, however, lacked the will or determination to go investigate it. She was going to continue on with her daily routine when she felt a nagging feeling. Whatever was left of her determination was telling her to investigate the light. Moon almost ignored her determination, but she decided at the last second to at least go near it. After all, she had nothing better to do. 'Hey, maybe this light will get me out of here!', Moon thought sarcastically. She knew from experience that there was no getting out of the void. Still, it was a better idea then sitting here for eternity.
She floated closer and closer to the light until she could almost touch the light. She felt a strange sensation coursing through her soul. It wasn't uncomfortable or painful, in fact it was quite pleasurable. 'Is this warmth?', Moon mused to herself. Perhaps this light was worth the risks. It has been an eternity since she had last felt warmth. Moon gently touched the light, and she wrapped her body around it. It felt so nice after the numbness or the void. She didn't know if it'll stay, but she was determined to keep it for as long as possible. For the first time since she got there, she smiled.
The longer she held onto the ball of light, the brighter it got. It grew so bright that the light seemed to radiate around her and brighten the surrounding darkness. 'Huh, that's interesting. Welp I guess that means more for me! ', Moon grinned for the first time ages. She was about to investigate the matter even further when she felt something coursing through her soul. It felt like it was being energized by an unknown source. Before Moon could wonder why she was feeling like this, she felt she was being dragged across something.
Moon tried t I keep her fears down, but she failed to do so. Why was she able to feel sensations such as gravity or warmth after ages of numbness? Her fears were heightened when she saw she was being pulled into a rainbow tunnel. She felt herself accelerate faster and faster into the tunnel. She tried to move out of the way to find that she couldn't move at all. She let our a ghostly scream as she was sucked I to the rainbow tunnel. She began to feel a weird sensation that seemed to flow through her ARMS?! 'This is getting weird!', Moon gushed. It has been forever since she could feel her limbs. Maybe this tunnel was the solution to her problems.
The farther down the tunnel she was, the faster it went. While she was traveling down the tunnel, she had flashes of something. In them she was visions of a mysterious girl talking to a cute boy. They were both laughing about something Moon wasn't sure of. The boy then turned to face her and gave Moon a sad smile. Moon felt touched like she had known him. Was he from her previous life? That vision disappeared as fast as it had appeared. She then saw another vision of an elderly woman talk to the same mysterious girl. They seemed to be related to each other as they talked passionately with each other. Moon felt a lump in her newly formed throat?! What was happening to her?! Was She finally going totally insane or was she regaining her memories?!
She soon saw the end of the tunnel. It was pure white with purple swirling around it. Moon felt her acceleration increase dramatically like it wanted to go through it. She was for the first time terrified of what lies ahead. Was she being reborn or being sent to the great beyond? The only thing that was certain was that she had no way to avoid the end. The only way to find out what's going on was going through the swirling circle, whether it be bad or good. Moon silently prayed that it'll change her existence in a positive way.
"This is it Moon, no going back!" , Moon yelled with her true voice. Before Moon could see at how her voice was back when she reached the end of the tunnel. She suddenly felt her new body?! slam against a hard object against her head. She fell into something solid. She looked up to see real grass beneath her. She carefully stretched out her new limbs to see if this was just a dream. To her surprise, they flexed out immediately when she wanted them. She normally couldn't do that in her normal state. That must mean only one thing. She was alive! She's finally free of the bike's influence! This is a day for celebration!
"I'm free! Hahaha! Take that void!" , Moon danced around with her new feet. She could finally have a new start! Moon danced around for what seemed for a few minutes until she felt a throbbing sensation against her head. It was extremely painful and before she knew it, she saw stars glittering her vision. Her limbs began to feel stiff as she collapsed on the ground. The last thing she thought of was how painful her head was. Then she blacked out.
Earth Prime, One Year Before The Events Of SVTFOE
"Oww. My head", Moon rubbed her head. It hurt like hell! She needs to find someone to help her head before her head exploded but where? She looked around to find that the place she landed was was completely unfamiliar to her. T hen again an had forgot everything about her life.
" Where am I?", Moon mused out loud. She needed to ask someone for help. Luckily someone was walking close to her.
"Excuse me sir can you tell where I can find medical assistance? My head hurts really bad", Moon asked the jogger.
" Well let me see. Your head seems... Oh my goodness, yo-you're head, it's bleeding! ", the jogger screamed. Moon just shrugged at the man's response. Her injury wasn't that bad right? A painful throb on her head reminded her otherwise.
" I'll call an ambulance! Just sit tight! "
What was an ambulance? Was it going to treat her sounds or was it transportation to get her to a medical facility? Who knows? As long as she gets help it doesn't really matter. After around a dozen minutes, she had regained the ability to count time!, she heard loud sails coming towards her. Moon saw the source of the sound and was perplexed. What was that contraption? Why did it look like a giant metal box on wheels? How did it move was the better question. Her thoughts were interrupted when several people jumped out of the ambulance once it was close to her.
"Okay who needs medical assistance?" , a first responder asked.
"She needs it immediately!" , the jogger pointed to Moon on the ground. She was clutching her scalp as more blood loses through her wound. She saw her blood splattered hands and thought they looked great on her hands for some odd reason.
"She needs medical assistance right away! We'll get you to a nearby hospital soon ma'am!"
They placed Moon into a stretcher before they moved her into the ambulance. Once everyone was inside, they closed the door and raced off to the nearest hospital. 'All this for me? I guess I'm royalty!', Moon joked despite the situation. The first responders stabbed her with needles filled with medicine. It hurt at first, but the pain subdued until it was practically unnoticeable. Moon was in awe at the medicine available. Moon briefly wondered what it'll be like to stab someone else with a needle by itself. That thought made her giddy with excitement. She'd have to try it once this is over! After a quick ride, they arrived at their destination. They first responders pulled Moon's stretcher out and pushed it inside the hospital.
"Move out of the way! We got a critical patient here!"
" You heard the lady, move over! ", a security guards ordered the bystanders to move.
" You're going to make it young lady. Just hold on a little bit longer", a first responder promised.
Moon was impressed by how big it was. Despite the size, there seemed to be relatively few people inside. Was the treatment for the rich then? If that was the case then why was she allowed inside? Shaking her head weakly, she was barely awake for the last part of the trip. She could faintly make out people paying in pain in beds. She barely felt her body being hauled onto a bed her herself. Moon couldn't make out what the doctors were talking about, but they were probably talking about her. She looked up to see doctors milling around her.
"You'll be alright ma'am. Just stay-", Moon faintly heard before passing out again.
A Few Days Later
'Uh, why does my head hurt so much?', Moon wondered. She tried to get up, but she was gently pushed down. She opened her eyes to see a doctor with his associates surrounding her. She was about to wonder why she was in a medical facility when the memories of what happened recently flooded back. How she cheated death ad returned back to life. How she had injured herself severely while coming backing to life. How she was rushed to get medical help. She remembered it now. Moon was grateful for the help. Maybe people did care for her after all. The doctor came over to check on Moon.
"Are you alright ma'am?"
"I'm fine asides the headache I currently have", Moon nodded.
"You know you're very lucky to have called for help. Another hour and you might of not made it", the doctor told her.
"Really?", Moon asked. She didn't know that her injuries were that serious. She had to thank these people afterwards for their help. Moon carefully stretched her limbs to see if they responded. Fortunately, the injury didn't seem to affect her cognitive functions. She noticed how she was no longer in her clothes but in some kind of a gown.
"Yes. You're actually recovering at almost double rate at what we were expecting. A miracle if you ask us. Anyways, we tried to call your relatives, but you didn't show up on any records. In fact, when we tried to search you through the database, you didn't appear. It was like as though you never existed. Can you tell us your name?"
"Sure, my name is Moon...", Moon started. Then she realized she only could remember her first name. Damn it! What was her last name again? She could only remember her first name but not her last name. She had to answer quickly or her rescuers will lose their patience. She blurted out, "Conqueror."
"So Mrs. Conqueror, would you mind contacting your folks?"
"Sorry but I can't seem to remember anything about having relatives", Moon shook her head.
"Hold on. Do you remember what happened a week ago or days ago?"
"No. In fact I can't really remember anything besides my age and my name", Moon told the doctors
"It's as we feared. You may have amnesia from your brain damage", the doctor explained.
"What's amnesia?", Moon asked.
"It's a medical condition where someone loses their memories. In your case, you lost your memory because of your head injury. Now do you remember anything at all?"
"Nope", Moon said. If she couldn't remember her previous life in her time in the void, she certainly wouldn't magically regain her memories. Moon doubted if she would ever recover her memories. Oh well, she'll just have to start out fresh. The doctors gathered around each other to discuss something. They talked among each other for a few minutes before they turned back to her.
"Mrs. Conqueror because you have amnesia, we have decided to move you into child services until we can contact you're relatives", the doctor stated. What was child services? It didn't sound good from the name itself. It sounded like a place to traumatize children! She had to get out and convince everyone to leave her alone. This would be a good way to put some of her games she made in the void to use. Moon held up her arms to get everyone's attention. Once everyone's attention was on her, she made her case.
"I actually would prefer it if you can release me out of here", Moon said.
"But then how will your relatives find you then?"
"They probably will be trying to look for me by now. Plus I probably live near here", Moon reasoned. In reality, she had no clue where her parents were. She didn't even know if the area she was in was remotely close to the area she lived in previously There was a very low chance for her folks to find her.
"Hmm. Are you sure about this?"
"Positive", Moon nodded.
"Alright but call us if you need any help."
"Thanks for the offer", Moon smiled. These people were really nice to her even though the didn't know her. Were her parents as nice as these people? She wished she could remember her parents so at least she could compare the niceness of people. She began to plan what her next steps were. Obviously she couldn't survive by herself so she had to get outside help, preferably with nothing to do with child services. Maybe somebody nice like these people would take her in. She didn't dare ask the doctors for their assistance since they already done much for her.
"So when can I leave?"
"You can leave right now if you feel well."
"I'll go soon", Moon told the doctors.
"Great! Wait before most of us go, I need to tell you how severe your injuries were. While most of them aren't permanent, you suffered major damage to your frontal lobe."
"And what's that supposed to do?", Moon shrugged. She had no idea what a frontal lobe was. Was it something in her head? If her frontal lobe was injured then could it be the source of her throbbing headache.
"Well damage to the frontal lobes can cause major behavioral changes. You'll become more impulsive, and you might become either more aggressive or be unable to feel empathy. Another symptom is memory loss which you definitely have", the doctor explained.
'That's a bit worse than I imagined', Moon thought nonchalantly. She really didn't care about her changes to her personality as she didn't remember much of her previous personality. Though her damaged frontal lobe could explain her newfound interest in violent things such as her bloodied hands and needles, though it might not be such a bad thing. Extra aggression could get her out of sticky situations. From the doctor's description of her faster than average recover time, she might be stronger than the average person. If that was the case then she could definitely use that extra aggression to beat up anybody who tried to mess with her. Plus she can plan her revenges even better than before!
"I'l keep that in mind."
"It was a pleasure helping you. We'll leave a nurse behind until you decide to leave. Hopefully we don't have to meet again in such circumstances. Goodbye Mrs. Conqueror."
"Bye!", Moon waved to the doctors. They left in a hurry to help more people. 'Those are nice people', Moon smiled. She wondered if everyone outside of here would be as friendly as these doctors. If the majority of people were as nice as these doctors then this might actually be a nice place to live. Someone could adopt her, and she'll live the rest of her life with caring people. That thought gave her a newfound sense of DETERMINATION that was missing for ages. Moon rested for another hour before she decided that she needed to leave.
"I'll be leaving now."
"Okay honey, you're clothes is right on that chair", the nurse pointed to a comfortable looking couch.
"Thanks!", Moon got out of her bed to retrieve her clothes. Moon saw that her clothes had been cleaned when she was unconscious since there was no blood stains. She frowned slightly at that. She actually would prefer it if she had blood on her clothes. It just smelled so good and was aesthetically pleasing. It was like an exotic scent!
"We washed your clothes honey. We can't have you wearing bloody clothes can we? I'll get out so you can change", the nurse left the room, leaving Moon alone. She immediately changed out of her gown into her normal clothes. When she was done, she looked at the mirror. Moon had to admit she looked rather pretty in the dress, though it was a bit too bright for her flavors. She made a note to get darker clothes when she got out. She then walked out of the room to meet the nurse waiting for her outside.
"We checked you out so you're free to leave."
"Thank you guys so much! I sincerely hope we get to meet each other soon", Moon tanked the nurse.
"It's nothing honey. That's our job! I hope I'll see you around but not too son if you know what I mean", the nurse laughed.
"See you around too! Bye!", Moon waved a farewell.
"Bye!"
Moon then navigated around through the complex as she tried to find her way out. There were so many corridors and rooms! There were times when she accidentally roamed into a room with less than pleasant sights. She would always be shooed away by the doctors. Some of the rooms were gruesome as the doctors were operating on the patients. Moon smiled oddly at the procedures. She should be horrified or disgusted by the operations but instead found an odd sense of satisfaction from the procedures. Maybe she was going insane? Finally after what seemed like hours, a nurse finally had the idea to escort Moon out of the building. They must of been tired of a random girl entering rooms at the worst possible time. She was escorted out of the hospital in a hurry before Moon could cause any real damage.
"Bye!", Moon waved, but the nurse only grunted in response as she returned inside. 'So rude', Moon thought. Well now that she was outside, she'll need a place to stay. Hopefully somebody would adopt her. Moon walked around for hours to find a residential area. She finally managed to find a residential hours after what seemed like endless rows of shops and businesses. Moon knocked on the door of one of the houses, hoping for the best. It wasn't long before someone answered the door.
"What do you want?", a middle aged man asked. He was watching the last game of the football season when a random teenager interrupted his T.V. time! Damn teenagers! Can't they just disappear? They were so annoying!
"I'm lost so can you let me stay for a little while?"
"No you delinquent! Go back to your own home! Damn runaways!", he roared at Moon. She needed to get back to whatever stupid family she came from. Was she thinking was stupid enough to buy her excuse? He really wished he had his bat to scare this brat away.
"But-"
"NO BUTS!", he slammed the door in Moon's face. 'That was incredibly rude', Moon fumed. Why was he so mean to her? She only asked to stay for a little while, and he responded by being a complete arse. 'Maybe a few people are just rude by nature!', Moon thought hopefully. There might be some rude people but surely there were some nice people out there right? She walked to a nearby house and knocked the door. This time an elderly lady appeared.
"What is it young lady?"
"I'm lost, and I don't know the way back home. Can I stay for a little while?"
"I'm sorry but why don't you go home?", the old lady reasoned. Surely this teenager wasn't expecting her to be adopting? That was utter foolishness. She wondered what happened to make the newest generation so annoying. Unfortunately, the girl seemed insistent on staying.
"But I don't know the way home! So can I please stay?"
"Sorry young lady, I don't do charity", the old lady said before slamming the door shut. Moon's initial optimism began to fade. 'What if it is the opposite? There are actually more meanies than nice people' Moon murmured. That thought scared her more then she wanted to admit. With that thought also came along with it a surge of anger. Why were these people being so rude to her? She didn't do anything wrong! At least the old lady was polite enough to explain her reasoning. The man, however was just rude. Moon wanted to stab him with a needle to watch him scream in pain as she smeared his blood on her. The dark thought made her giggle with dark delight. Revenge however would come later. Right now she needed a place to stay really soon.
One Week Later
It's been one week since she had been released from the hospital and not a single person had given her refuge. Was she really that much of a bad influence? Why can't one person be nice enough to allow her to stay for a few days. Now she's sitting under a bridge while it rained. It's been raining nonstop for the previous three days. Moon shivered at the cold water soaking her. Even though she was under a bridge, she still could feel water flowing through the ground. Even though the void was terrible, but this situation was a second to the void in terms of misery. She was freezing with no dry clothes and no one, besides the doctors, to care for her. Child services was becoming more and more of an attractive choice as the days wore on. Anything was better than freezing to death.
She also was starving badly. The only places she could find water was at this stone waterway and the rain. She had to search garbage cans in order to find anything edible. She rubbed her stomach as it produced a particularly painful rumble. She had to find a reliable source of food or she'd likely die. The thought of committing crimes to survive was becoming very tempting. After all, nobody cared about her so why should she care about anybody else. The only thing stopping her from going on a crime spree was the doctors' kindness. She found hope knowing that there might be a few good people in the ocean of people.
That hope was becoming more and more of a dream, however. She had a bone to pick with with several particularly rude people. One women threatened to call the authorities if she didn't leave. 'Blah! That lady won't be able to call anyone if her throat's stabbed'. Moon thought wickedly. She'll get her vengeance! Moon made up her mind to search for homes one last day. If no one could adopt her or allowed her to stay, she'll resort to crime to survive. Then nothing would be able to stop her! With a surge of DETERMINATION, she went out of the bridge she was in and trekked her way towards a neighborhood.
The walk from her hideout wasn't too long. It only took her thirty minutes to reach the neighborhood she'll check. While she was walking, she thought about an incident that happened just a few days ago. It was just another night while she was walking down an alleyway when a group of men surrounded them. They were creeps! They all looked at her like she was a piece of meat. One of the men, who Moon assumed was the leader, stepped towards her.
"What's this we got here? What's a pretty young girl doing here late at night?"
" I was taking a nice evening stroll", Moon rolled her eyes.
"Then it's a good thing we found you down here", he chuckled. They other men nodded or whistled in agreement. These men were seriously giving her the creeps. If they thought they could jump her like she was a helpless damsel in distress then they were seriously mistakened!
" How about we have some 'fun' with you. What do you say hmm? ", one of the men asked wickedly to the approval of the other men. Yep they were going to have a bad time.
" How about no? ", Moon rejected their proposals. Her answer didn't even deter the creeps at all since the began to come closer to her. She'll have to do it the ugly way then.
" Don't be too shy. We just wanna have some 'fun' with you", one of the creeps laughed.
"Don't come any closer", Moon warned them. They better get away from her or else she'll have to annihilate them like the animals they were. The thought of teaching these things a lesson filled her with DETERMINATION.
"What's the matter little girl? Are you scared? Wanna cry for mommy? Don't. You have no where to run. Now accept what's coming or we'll have to do this the hard way", the head creep taunted.
" This is your last chance to run away or ELSE. Soo don't take another step closer or you'll have a bad time", Moon warned them for the last time. To be honest, she would prefer it if they fought her. She needed to release all of her negative emotions, and this was the perfect way to release her frustrations.
"A bad time?! It's you who's about to have a bad time!" , another creep sneered as he took another step towards her.
" Welp at least I tried. It's a pleasant evening today. The wind is blowing, people are sleeping, and the moon is shining... ", Moon closed her eyes.
"What's this, you're ultimate poem!", every creep laughed at the strange poem. Little did they know what type of bad time they'll have.
" On evenings like this, people like you... SHOULD BE PRAYING FOR MERCY", Moon opened her eyes. She punched the closest creep back with enough force to crack a nearby wall. The creeps were shocked at her display of strength. A few of them were beginning to think this was a bad idea.
"Hmm. That's interesting. I always wonder why people save the best for last" , Moon taunted them. The creeps didn't take her insult well, and their leader rallied his fellow creeps.
"GET HER! Make that bitch pay!" , he roared, foam coming from his mouth. All of the creeps tried to swarm her with their superior numbers. Moon sighed at their stupidity. Did they really think they could win against her. They first creep she spotted got a lunch to the face, sending him out cold.
"Don't get a-head of yourself", Moon joked.
" You'll pay for that! ", a creep charged in but was met by a roundhouse kick to the private area. There was a sickening splash as she retracted her foot. They creep screamed out in pain as he tried to limped out of the alley. Moon out an end to that by kicking him in the head and knocking him unconscious.
" I guess he didn't have the 'ball's to fight me", Moon laughed darkly. Her joke only made them more enraged. This time all of the creeps pulled out knives from their pockets.
"Looks like we've won. Now be a good girl and surrender. We might be merciful" , the leader chuckled. 'This should be a challenge!', Moon giggled. These fools were in for a surprise. She then disarmed one creep by breaking his hand from a single kick. He screamed in pain as he collapsed on the floor with his bloodied hands She scooped up the knife from the downed creep.
"I'll have to 'cut' your victory short."
One of the creeps threw his knife at her. Moon caught the blade midair like as though it was just another regular thing for her. All of the gangs members taped at user insane agility. They didn't sign up for this! Moon only chuckled to the horror of the creeps.
"Aww, you wanna cry to mommy?"
Moon then threw her two knives straight into the skulls of two creeps. They collapsed into the ground, dead. The creeps all seemed to realize what type of person they were up against. This was a complete psychopath. Moon only looked amused at their horrified expressions.
"It was 'knife' knowing them."
The remaining creeps tried to overwhelm her through brute force. Moon brutally dealt with them in her own vicious way. She grabbed one of the creeps' arms and squeezed it until there was a sickening crunch. The man screamed out for mercy, but she didn't stop. Not letting anybody recover, Moon grabbed the knife and shoved it into another creep's private area. To finish it off Moon brutally cut off the leader's balls off when he tried to body slam her. Blood pumped out everywhere as his testicles were laying on the ground. The creeps finally and enough with her.
"Run for you're lives!" , the creeps ran away in terror after seeing a supposedly weak girl brutalized their comrades. The few creeps that glanced back at Moon, they were horrified to see her right eye turned from blue to blood red. This was truly a bloodthristy fiend out to kill them. Or perhaps a demon as well?
"I hope we'll 'meat' each other real soon again", Moon laughed maniacally. 'Maybe that'll teach them to never try something like that again', Moon chuckled. Moon looked over to see she still had two corpses she had dispose of. She wondered what she'll do with them when she had a brilliant idea. Hiding their bodies in garbage cans, she rolled them to her hideout. She was going to have a feast tonight! Later when the police investigated the crime scene, they couldn't find the body of the 2 dead. They were never recovered.
Chuckling at that memory, she continued onwards. Moon was drenched in rain when she got to the neighborhood. She sniffed herself, and her nose wrinkled in disgust. She hadn't cleaned herself or her clothes since she left the hospital so she smelled horrible. She made a note to herself to clean herself up soon. Moon walked up to a response and knocked on the door. Moments later, a couple answered the door.
"What's a young girl like you doing out in the rain?"
" I got lost while visiting here. Is it okay if I can stay here? "
"Sorry kid, but we already have too many kids in the house. Would you want us to call the police?" , the husband shook his head.
"That's okay. I'll guess I'll try to find my way back home", Moon muttered.
" Well good luck kiddo", the wife said before they closed the door. Moon stomped out of the house until she was at the next house. Need already had mood was getting worse. If someone didn't take her in soon then she'd likely explode from rage. Moon tried to knock the door but nobody came. 'Looks like it's empty', Moon thought. She decided to move into the next house. She knocked on the door and waited patiently until someone answered the door.
"What'd you want bucko?"
" I'm looking for a place to stay until the rain's over", Moon said.
"Why don't you just go back home?"
" I'm not around here so I got lost. Can you please let me stay? ", Moon pleaded. 'Please, please, please let this be the one!', Moon prayed. Unfortunately for her, the tenant didn't seem to care about her plight.
" Why don't you try the police station kid? That'll save both of us a lot of time", the tenant stated.
"But-", Moon started, only to be interrupted as he slammed the door close. Moon felt Her breaking point was coming closer now. All she wanted to do was to scream out all of her frustrations until she could no longer scream. Moon calmed herself by taking a few deep breaths. Once she had settled down, Moon sighed as she moved into the next houses. She tried at least five different houses, but they all had the same response, no. They have out the same excuses of "Sorry we don't do charity" or "Get out of here you brat!" . Their blunt rejections made her want to give up on life. She almost did when she was reminded that she had a chance for a second life. She shouldn't carelessly through away her golden opportunity. She swore to herself to track down all of the people who were rude to her and get her revenge.
"Hey watch it kid!" , a strolling man yelled at Moon.
"I'm sorry", Moon muttered out. She really wasn't sorry at all at this point. She lost her empathy for other people after being constantly rejected. She didn't give a damn at how a random person felt.
" Yeah you better scurry off you brat! ", he yelled back. Yep, he was going on her list of people to track down and annihilate.
Moon was going to go back to her hideout when her DETERMINATION stopped her. It urged her to go to at least one more house. She was planning on ignoring it until it started to grow even more intense. 'It wouldn't hurt to try one more time', Moon shrugged. She went to the nearest house to know on the door, but she looked over behind her. Behind her was a house with a peculiar design unlike anything else in the neighborhood. She felt compelled to investigate it, and she walked towards the new house. It was white with a sharp triangular roof. It had several plants around it that looked exotic. 'Hey maybe different is better!', Moon reasoned with herself.
After a moment of hesitation, she knocked on the door. Nobody came to answer the door, and Moon walked away, disappointed. She was almost out of the property when she heard someone call out something behind her. Moon turned around to see a boy around her age at the doorway. The boy seemed to spot her and gestured for her to come closer. Upon closer inspection of the boy, he seemed like an interesting specimen. He had tanned skin with black hair. He had a rather cute mole on his cheek. He had a weird sweater, that hybrid he was wearing. 'That looks cool! I wonder where I can get one of those?', Moon admired his fashion. She was pulled out of her thought when he spoke to her.
"Were you the one that knocked on my door?"
" Yes I was. ", Moon confirmed.
" Why are out here in the rain. Shouldn't you be at home? ", the boy asked.
" That's the thing, I can't remember the way home because of an injury I got a week ago. I was wondering if you could let me stay for a bit? ", Moon explained.
" Wait, how long have you been wandering around here? ", the boy scratched his head as he thought.
"A week", Moon answered
" One week! You're probably freezing! Come in, come in", the boy gestured for Moon to follow. How could she of been wandering the streets for one week! 'That poor girl', the boy sympathized with her. Her didn't mind letting a strange girl into his house when she needed help so badly. He led her into the living room and motioned for her to sit down.
"So what's your name?"
" Moon Conqueror ", Moon answered.
" Moon, that's a pretty name", the boy complimented. He had never heard of anybody using that name before. The name did fit her since her silvery hair was like the moon, and her eyes were mesmerizing.
"Thanks? Sorry I didn't get your name", Moon shrugged.
" Oh my bad! Silly me for not introducing myself. My name's Marco Diaz, but you can call me Marco", the boy introduced himself.
"Marco Diaz, huh. That's a funny name", Moon giggled.
" It's not funny! ", Marco pouted.
" You look so cute when you're embarrassed", Moon teased him. Marco blushed in embarrassment. To make matters worse, she just looked so cute when she laughed. Why was she so cute?! 'No Marco! Focus on your goals!', he berated himself. He had to focus on asking out his crush, not a random girl! Plus he had to focus on the now, not the future. Like figuring out how to help her. He checked her temperature with a nearby thermometer he grabbed. He almost dropped it when he read her temperature. It was at 87.6 degrees Fahrenheit! That was well below what the average temperature of a person should be! She probably has hypothermia! She needed a hot shower ASAP!
"Quick you need a shower!"
" Uh why? ", Moon asked.
" You probably have hypothermia, and a shower is the quickest way to warm you up. Also you smell really bad", Marco told her.
"Yeah I smell quite awful", Moon rubbed her head sheepishly.
" I'll lead you to our shower", Marco guided Moon up from the couch. He quickly made his way upstairs to their shower. A nice shower was what she needed to warm up! He nervously wondered how his parents would react to Moon. He hoped his parents would accept his decision to help her or he was going to have an awkward conversation with them.
"Why are so nice to me?" , Moon asked out of no where. Out of all of the people to help her, a boy was doing it. She simply couldn't wrap her head around that. Why was he being so nice to her when everybody else rejected her? Was there something special about the boy?
"Well I can't stand by when someone needs help!" , Marco laughed.
"But nobody else wanted to help me. Why are you doing this? Do you want something from me?" , Moon wondered.
"No I don't want anything from you!"
" Then why are you helping me? "
"Because it's the right thing to do! Look, the problem of this world is that nobody helps each other. If more people help each other, the world will be in a lot better shape. That's why I'm helping you", Marco explained.
" That's actually sweet of you", Moon let out a genuine smile for once. Maybe this was going to be her lucky break? She knew she couldn't stay here long term, but she had to make every second count. If this was the last person who will help her in a while then she had to prepare while she stayed here. She'll cherish every moment in order to hopefully tend off her darker emotions. If her darker emotions did get the better of her, Moon wasn't sure if she liked the results of it.
"Thank you", Marco smiled back. They were at the bathroom as soon as their conversation ended.
" Here's my shower. Turn the knob to the right for hot water and left for cold water. Wait right here while I grab you some spare clothes", Marco told Moon as he rushed outside to get some clothes. Moon looked around to see just how advanced the technology looked. She managed to retain some memory of the types of technology she had in her previous life, and it was nowhere as advanced as were weird metallic pipes coming from the door and countertop. Then there was the white chair with a hole in the middle filled with water. This truly was something new to her. Marco returned back to the bathroom after a short while with a pile of clothes in his arms.
"I hope you don't mind wearing some of my clothes."
"I don't mind. It's much better than wearing this soggy mess", Moon assured him.
" I'll leave you now while you do your business", Marco told her as he closed the door gently. 'What a gentleman ', Moon admired his character. He was the first truly kind person she had seen since the hospital. She had to get to know him better so she'll be able to ask him for assistance in the future.
Moon quickly undressed and threw her soggy clothes into a corner. She felt much better already by getting rid of her set clothes. She looked at herself in the mirror to see how she was doing appearance wise. Her head seemed to be in a much better state then it was a week ago. Despite how dirty she was, she still looked stunning. Moon had to chuckle at how her beautiful look was still there. Was the boy complimenting her looks instead of her name? Moon couldn't blame him for admiring her.
She stepped into the shower and closed the class door behind her. She then turned the door to the right as Marco had instructed. Almost immediately she was met by a pouring amount of scalding hot water. It as boiling water!
"Owww! Hot! Hot! Hot!" , Moon cried out in pain. The blasted water was boiling her alive! She turned the knob the other way to get rid of the scalding hot water. The hot water turned into freezing cold water very quickly. It was even colder than the rain! How does one operate this shower?!
"Cold! Cold! Cold!" , Moon shivered as she turned the knob back to the right but not all the way. The water instantly became much more bearable then before. It soon became a relaxing warm steak of water flowing through her body. 'Now this feels good', Moon moaned. Now this was the stuff! She wanted to stay here all day to feel the arm water rejuvenate her. She knew she shouldn't do that to respect the boy's kindness.
She stayed in the shower for another dozen minutes before she stepped outside. She felt a thousand times better then barely twenty minutes ago. Moon grabbed a towel in the shower to dry herself off before she can change. Once she dried off, Moon scooped up the clothes the boy provided for her and quickly put then on. They were a bit loose for her, but they will do. Besides, it was a massive upgrade from her soggy dress. As soon as she was done dressing, she stepped outside of the bathroom. To her surprise, Marco was nowhere to be found.
"Marco?" , Moon called out but nobody came.
"Are you ok?" , Moon asked. Still there was silence. She decided to go investigate downstairs to see if she could locate him. Moon quietly descended the stairs. Moon was bother relieved and scared to see him on the couch with his parents. She was nervous as to see how they'd react to her. Will they welcome her or will they kick her out?
"I see you're done Moon. Why don't you come here so we can have a nice chat about you?" , Marco's mom invited.
"Yes ma'am", Moon nodded.
" There's no need for formalities here! I'm Angie and this is my husband Raphael", she introduced
"Nice to meet you two", Moon politely said as she sat next to them.
" It's nice seeing new faces around here. Marco here told us that you were in need of a place to stay", Angie said.
"Yeah, I forgot how to get home because of a head injury. I was wondering if you were okay if I could stay here for a little bit", Moon nervously asked. 'This is it, the moment of truth', Moon nervously thought. If they rejected her then she'd have no where to go except for child services or the streets. If they did accept her then she'll be eternally grateful for their kindness. 'Please be nice ', Moon prayed silently. Her concede were immediately dispelled when Raphael laughed and gave her a hug.
" You're more then welcome to stay here until your folks find you! ", grinned Raphael. Moon's face instantly fell at that. She had no way to contact her relatives if they were still alive. Judging alone by the vast differences of the technology she had in her previous life, Her parents were either dead or very old. Everyone noticed her sudden change in mood. Angie was the first one to comment on her mood swing.
" Are you alright Moon? "
" It's just that I don't think my parents will find me. It's been one week since my accident. "
"Don't be silly Moon, they care about you", Marco tried to reassure her to no avail.
" That's the thing, I won't even recognize them even if they tried to find me. I don't remember anything about my first thirteen years of life. Just my name and age", Moon teared up.
"That's horrible!" , Raphael cried.
"You wait while we think about about what to do next", Angie agreed.
Moon was anxiously awaiting while the Diaz family discussed her fate. She knew that they would probably allow her to stay at their home but for now long? A day, a week, or a month? Moon hoped that they allowed her to stay for a long period of time. That way she could prepare for the day when she had to leave better. Moon prayed that the outcome would be favorable for her. After a few tense minutes, the Diazes seemed to have reached a decision. Angie cleared her throat before she spoke.
" We have reached a solution. We know you're in need a shelter. "
"And you need emotional support too", Raphael added.
" Plus we haven't had a foreign exchange student in a while so... ", Angie started.
" Would you want to live with us for awhile? ", Marco finished. She couldn't believe what they just said. They wanted to adopt her? She barely even met them let alone know them they, yet they still wanted to adopt her? Moon shed years of joy at their news. This was the best day of her new life! She had finally found the kind people she needed most.
" You want me to live with you guys? ", Moon asked, still not believing this was real.
" Of course! You seem like a nice girl. We could use some more energy in the house ", Marco smiled at her.
" I think you'll make a great addition to the family! ", Raphael added.
" So what do you think? ", Angie asked.
" I love it! Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means for me! I don't know how I'll ever return the favor", Moon answered tearfully.
"You don't need to give us anything! We're doing it because it's the right thing to do", Raphael chuckled.
" Thank you! Hugs! ", Moon embraced her new family. They all wrapped around her as they embraced her. She was finally with people who cares for her. She briefly wondered if her old family had done group hugs like the Diazes. Moon shook her head since her old family was part of the past. She had to look forward into the future. With the love of the Diazes, she felt her DETERMINATION grow stronger. A surge of energy seemed to flow through her with all of this newfound love. Maybe the future wasn't so bad after all?
And that wraps it up! Almost 12k words, my new best record! Well what a chapter it has been! Moon is an absolute psychopath with her memory gone! Hopefully she could contain her killer urges well enough so the Diazes never did out about their gruesome deeds! What will she do next? Find out in the next chapter! My update schedule will be one week A New Frontier Redux and the other Memorytale. Until next time, Peace!
