Loona P.O.V. Throughout.
Loona and Snow's Room. Hours after Snow was stabbed.
Sat by myself next to the window of my room with pain still fresh in my heart from what I had just witnessed earlier. I could barely sleep at all knowing Snow was in the hospital. It just didn't feel right sleeping alone tonight.
I held out my blood-soaked palm and placed it on the rain-covered window in front of me. All the while allowing the painful memory to flood my subconscious. I couldn't save Snow. Now, his blood was on my hands. Causing me to go into a fetal position and scream for him.
This would result in Winter and Eliza running into my room after Eliza had kicked the door in. the girls soon found me screaming and crying with the blood of their dad still covering me since I hadn't showered.
The moment the girls saw this as their cue to slowly make their way over to me. Winter was the first to pull me close to her chest. Soon, Eliza's arms were wrapped around me. Making me feel safer in their arms. With my tears stopping. I looked at the girls with bloodshot eyes from all the crying I had just done before speaking lowly.
"I couldn't save him."
Eliza and Winter's hearts broke looking at me. Causing Eliza to shake her head sadly. The focus of our attention soon led us to look at Snow's picture of him in his suit with a smiling Eliza, Winter and Austin. Causing me to sob quietly into Winter's chest fur. The following day was going to be rough for me.
The Next Day
Every minute and every hour that had passed. It was the purest definition of the word torture.
Every moment I was awaiting a phone call from the hospital. I was hoping and praying that Snow was going to be OK. I knew it would take more than a mere holy sword to kill him. Hell, a sword like that would have killed me. Not Snow. Due to his blood was a mixture of angel and demon being the reason it had saved him. The sword had only put the male hybrid into a coma. And, this time, I had no idea how long it would be before he would awaken from the gaping wound in his abdomen this time.
Sleep. What was that again? I had no concept of sleep since yesterday night's massacre at Ozzie's. Austin was too busy nursing his hangover whilst his girlfriend was around. Blitz, Millie and Moxxie were staying at Charlie's hotel for a while until it was safe to travel home.
Eliza and Winter, Snow and mine's worried daughters, hadn't left the hospital since Snow was admitted. I would have done the same, 'cept for one thing. Eliza had said she would call me if anything changed with Snow while he is in the infirmary.
Waking up that morning and turning to my side to usually find my handsome fiancé lying beside me. Awaiting me with a smile and a kiss to start my day right. Instead, it was replaced with an eerily empty side. No Snow, no kiss good morning. And, certainly no hug. Sitting up in bed. I wipe away the tears that must have fallen without my notice during my sleep.
Putting on a t-shirt, jeans and some flats whilst letting a yawn escape me. I had to force a smile for my son and the girls. I didn't feel like I usually was. And, honestly, it showed the moment I went to work.
Blitzo, that stupid dumbass, was trying his best to cheer me and the kids up, considering. I hated not reacting to my dad's antics to get me to cheer up.
Nothing seemed to make me happy since yesterday evening's massacre.
Sometime Later
Once I knew Winter, Eliza and Austin were safe at work. Millie and Blitzo chose to head out with me towards the city mall. My heart was hurting further when I remembered why I was heading to the mall in the first place.
The dressmaker Charlie had recommended had wanted to speak to me for a while. And, she had originally wanted to cancel. But, Blitzo had insisted Millie and I try on the dresses for my wedding. So, with Charlie in tow. We got into the van after picking her up in the Pride Ring.
In The Company Van
The car ride there involved Charlie ringing ahead to let the seamstress, named Arrabella, know we were coming to view the dresses for my wedding. Me? I was face timing Eliza while she sat in the hospital with Winter. On the camera. She looked like she was trying to hold back her tears at the side of her father, my future husband.
"The doctors have said he is recovering slowly, Loona. When he will wake up, I don't know."
"I guess we just have to lump it till he finally wakes up, Liz."
"I just wish I could've killed the bastard that did this to him!"
I let a small laugh escape my lips. something my Blitzo and Millie caught onto.
Of course, Eliza wanted revenge. Eliza loved her father dearly. And, the fact she couldn't be there to save him. It hurt her. With a motherly look of my own. I reply softly.
"Don't worry Liz. We will get Zerachiel for this if it's the last thing we do."
"We better! The sooner I get my mother, the better!"
"Let us just focus on the Snow getting out of the hospital first. Okay, Liz?"
Hanging up the phone after saying goodbye. The van pulls up outside the boutique. Causing me to let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding in. talking to my future daughter had become a pain since Snow was out of commission. I couldn't even hold myself together in front of my friends. How I did it in front of my daughter and future daughter? I had no idea.
The Boutique, Pride Ring of Hell.
Entering the boutique to the owner yelling 'Great, another pregnant whore who is getting married!' was not the sound I wanted to hear the minute I stepped through the door of the establishment. The minute the woman at the cash register looked up and saw who it was she was calling a 'pregnant whore' her face paled at the sight of Charlie standing before her.
"Your unholiness! A thousand pardons. I forgot you were bringing your friends in today! Excuse my outburst. I've gotten used to dressing demonesses who got knocked up and left at the alter by their scumbag future husbands."
That didn't sound promising to me at all. Regarding Snow, luckily, I knew differently about my boyfriend before Charlie spoke up.
"Arrabella, you are aware it is not I, who is getting married. It is my friend who needs your services today. You will also show my friend here some respect. Loona has a respectable hybrid she will be marrying."
The minute Arrabella heard the word 'hybrid' leave Charlie's mouth. The fashionista demonesses jaw almost dropped to the floor. A hybrid? In Hell?! How was this possible? Their breed was made extinct by Lucifer himself! What were the thoughts I could see on her fear-struck face the minute my future husband's breed was mentioned?
'Heard something you don't like bitch?'
That was the thought that crossed my mind with a chuckle. It wasn't long before Arrabella is now seen sizing me up for one of her many dresses. Noting I wasn't pregnant when she pressed my stomach in with a clawed index finger. Arrabella came to her conclusion about me.
"Hmm, nice figure. Perfectly trimmed. Nice big butt for any potential suitors to grab during lovemaking…". A slap to the rear made me yelp in surprise while the dressmaker kept talking. "… respectable bust size. B-cup, by the looks of you. Perfect size. It's not too big. And, they're not puny enough to be confused for pancakes."
I couldn't help but blush while Charlie and Millie couldn't try hard enough to hide the laughter well enough behind her hand at my embarrassment. Blitzo was ready to tear this demoness and a new one for touching me up. But, I couldn't cover my face with my tail due to the boutique owner sizing up my face and measuring it for my veil.
"Hmm, interesting. Good-sized head, and a cute nose on the end of the muzzle. And, with red eyes too. Yep, you have the right complexion and figure for one of the dresses I rarely sell the whores… I mean, the brides that come into my store."
Blitzo was now looking at me with a smile. I needed to remember it wasn't just my day. It was going to be Snow's too. But, he couldn't pick out his suit if he was in the hospital. Hopefully, he would be awake when the day finally arrived. Then, and only then, could say our vows and sign our lives away?
Montage Time (A/N: Get used to it. There is a lot of these in this story!)
Walking out of the changing room again and again was starting to get tedious. Let me explain how it all started.
Millie and I just couldn't agree on the same dress choices. For example, there was this pure white number with patterns on it that Blitzo shot down the moment I walked out of the changing room with it on.
The second dress was a dark red colour with black colouring at the bottom of this strapless shoulder number. Blitzo loved it. But, I thought it didn't fit me.
Dress after dress began to pile up to the point of Blitzo, Millie and the dressmaker couldn't even be seen over them all.
It got to the point where me, Blitzo and Millie couldn't agree on the perfect dress. Until one caught all three of our eyes. It was a two-sleeved, midnight-blue dress with a pitch-black colour on the bottom of the dress. The dress also had small moons all over the garment itself.
Despite the hourglass figure I did not have. I felt sad at the dream dress I had come to love at first sight. My dad, unbeknownst to me, was whispering to Arrabella about something. Causing the seamstress to spark up with an idea.
This idea, well, let's just say after offering to adjust it for me since I wasn't some anorexic-looking crackhead. And, that I had a healthy figure. I couldn't help but thank Blitz for the moment I went to try the dress on. In the moment and, in a blink of an eye too, Arrabella had worked her magic and transformed the dress to fit me perfectly.
End Montage
"Oh my god! What have you done with my baby girl Arrabella!? She's beautiful!"
That was the sound Blitz made the moment I walked out of the changing room in my newly adjusted dress. Looking in the mirrors around me. I couldn't believe my eyes! Arrabella had outdone herself and turned me from beautiful to stunning in the blink of an eye. After the flash of the camera from Blitz and Millie's phones. a beaming Arrabella spoke up.
"What can I say? I'm a fucking genius. This Snow character, he will not know what hit him square in the face come your special day dear."
Blunt, but true. I did want to knock my fiancé dead the moment he clapped his eyes on me walking down the aisle towards him to become Mrs Loona Snow. And, to become a stepmother to Eliza. The thought almost made me shed a tear. Though, with the tears in my Blitz and Millie's eyes. They couldn't help but think the same thing when they are seen standing behind me and nearly crying onto my shoulder when Blitz says.
"My baby girl! All grown up and ready to start her own little family. I'm so proud of you honey."
That one sentence had now set off the waterworks that I was holding in. causing me to turn and hug Blitz. Despite all that had happened and what was about to happen. Spending time with Blitz, Charlie and Millie was probably the best distraction I could ever ask for.
Even if it only lasted for a little while.
Hospital
Carrying a card and a gift basket into the ward Snow was in. it made my heart hurt with every step I took towards the door of the room my fiancé was in.
Thanks to the pep talk from Blitz. He had softened the heartache slightly when I was fully in the room and looked at the hybrid with his stitched-up abdomen and his eyes closed like he was in death's hands while he was sleeping peacefully. He seemed like wasn't in pain while in the deep sleep he would awake from eventually.
Sitting in the chair by his bedside and taking the hybrid's limp hand in my own. I couldn't help the tears I was shedding quietly. If Snow was awake right now. He'd tell me to stop crying and worrying over him. He would be fine and we would be married in the future.
Stroking his hand. I look at the ring on my left hand before looking back at the sleeping, and lightly snoring, form of Snow. How could someone so strong, brave and loving, be laid out in a hospital because of that cunt Zerachiel? Why was it the brave ones who got hurt risking their lives for the ones they loved?
My tear-stained look towards Snow never changed. This hybrid, my hybrid, was not in an alien situation. He was used to walking this kind of injury off. But, the moment it involved someone he knew in Heaven driving a holy sword through his gut. Leaving him on his knees in pain and laying in this hospital bed. All bets were off.
With enough strength in my voice. I finally speak to Snow whilst holding back the tears to the best of my ability.
"Hi babe. I know it's been a while since I came to see you. You know, making sure I don't do anything stupid like I dunno, hunting down the angel who did this to you. Hehe…". A heavy sigh now leaves her lips. "Sorry, babe. I'm used to you being around to keep our little family safe."
Taking a breath as I feel the tears coming to my eyes again. I manage to speak again once I wipe my eyes.
"Everyone misses you, you goofy bastard. They miss your smile which can brighten up anyone's day. Your charm, your wit. Hell, I've missed your charm, wit and humour. Yes, I have missed the sex as well. Just in case you were wondering."
I laugh to myself. It did the trick by cheering me up a little. If Snow was awake. He'd be laughing too, somewhat. With another heavy sigh. I speak what's really on my mind.
"Yesterday was a complete shit show, Snow. Since you've been in the hospital. Mine, and the kid's world, it feels empty without you. Especially with how we first met the first day you arrived in Hell. Alone, and looking for a place to stay, only to find your way into my heart with how you defended me from those scumbags looking to take advantage of me. You made sure I was okay by checking on me and making me smile when I was down. Of all the women in Hell, you could've had. Your dumbass chose me. Stupid, idiotic ol' me."
I manage a smile. Kissing Snow's forehead gently. I let a few more tears drop onto his lips when I moved over to kiss his head in the process. I know he could hear me. He just couldn't reply to me since he was out cold in his slumber. Now, I had to be the strong one. I knew Snow believed in me to do so. For everyone's sake.
"Enjoy your rest, Snow. When you wake up. Hopefully, this shit show will have passed so we can focus on our wedding planning together."
The moment I stood from my seat. I took one last look at Snow in the bed while he was in his peaceful slumber before I go to exit the room.
I was unaware of the person entering the room and locking the door behind them. Looking at the window out of the corner of my right eye. I catch a glimpse of the being behind me with a knife raised about to stab me.
With quick thinking. I dodge out of the way the moment the blade swings towards me. As I held my own by putting into practice what Snow had taught me about a knife-wielding maniac. I began to put it to use.
Kicking the perp's knee out from under him and locking him in an arm bar the moment they hit the floor. Bending their wrist painfully back and forcing the knife out of their hand. Despite having the advantage of combat training. She wasn't prepared for her attacker to throw her off and reach for the knife again. Only for Loona to stamp on the perp's broken wrist. Causing the being to yell in agony. The moment I lifted him and pinned him near the bed of my fiancé. I held him in place and began to question him with fury in my eyes.
"WHO SENT YOU?!"
The being in front of me could only smirk at the knife, now, being in my hand. They were trying to make me angry. Honestly? It was working. Because when security showed up and saw me with the knife in my hand and the person who had tried to assassinate me, vanishing into thin air. My eyes widened in realisation.
He wasn't trying to kill me or Snow. He was trying to frame me and make it out that I was going to kill my boyfriend! Unfortunately, security saw it that way when they had me down on the ground and handcuffed me for attempted murder.
Outside
The minute I was outside with the media hounding me. I tried to cover my face and avoid any damning questions that were sure to follow my arrest. The figure who had framed me is seen standing behind the glass door of the entrance to the hospital. waving sarcastically with an evil smile on their face before they vanished again.
I tried to point this out to the police. Only to get tasered when I tried to show them. They must have thought I was attacking them for me to get tasered. I couldn't believe it. Here I sat, in the back of the police cruiser, close to tears and framed for a murder I wasn't even attempting!
I just hoped someone would get here soon and bail me out. I couldn't spend the night in jail! I would never kill Snow! I just hope someone came to get me before I went crazy.
