Chapter 4
Back at Francesco's flat, he placed the first aid kit in the kitchen and made a drink for him, Loona and Octavia. "I forgot to ask, what are your names?" says Francesco. "I'm Loona and this is Octavia." "What is your name?" says Octavia. "Francesco." "So Francesco, where do me and Loona sleep?" Francesco thought to himself for a few seconds before saying: "Well, there's the sofa and only one bed. So how do we do this?"
Loona and Octavia looked at each other for a moment. "I'll take the sofa," says Loona. "Are you sure?" says Octavia. "Yeah, a princess like you doesn't deserve to sleep on a sofa. You deserve to sleep in a nice, warm bed." Octavia looked confused before saying: "Ok, you don't need to say it like that. It's fine." A few minutes later, Francesco helped Loona lie down on the sofa.
"Remember, if you need anything, just tell me. Ok?" says Francesco. "Whatever," says Loona. Francesco walked into his bedroom and saw Octavia sitting on the bed. "Hello," says Octavia. "Hi," says Francesco. He then closed the door behind him and sat next to her. "Can I be honest with you?" "Of course you can. What's on your mind?"
"I'm scared." "Why are you scared?" Octavia started to tear up before saying: "I feel like me and Loona are going to die here." Francesco looked shocked before saying: "Why would you think that?" "Because, there are people trying to kill us and our dads doesn't know where we are." Octavia quickly buried her face into her hands and cried.
Francesco slowly reaches a hand out to put it on her shoulder. Suddenly, there was a pink glow around Octavia and Francesco quickly stood up. When Octavia stopped glowing, she removed her hands and looked up at Francesco. His eyes widened as he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Octavia had changed from a human, into a owl like demon.
"Octavia? What happened to you?" "I think I was too sad to keep my disguise on." "So, you're a real demon?" Octavia slowly nodded and looked down. Francesco slowly sat back down next to her and said: "Does that mean Loona is also a demon?" "Yeah," says Octavia. Francesco thought to himself: "What the fuck am I going to do? If they found out that demons are in my flat, they'll also kill me."
Francesco looked at Octavia and said: "Is there anything special about your dad's book?" "Yes. It's the only way that me and Loona can go home. Without it, we're stuck here." Francesco then puts a hand on Octavia's shoulder and said: "I will get your book back, I won't let the agents kill you or Loona, and I will make sure they won't hurt anyone else. I promise."
Octavia wiped away a tear and said: "Really?" Francesco nodded and stood up. "I think you should change back, just in case." Octavia nodded and glowed pink again. Once she looked like a human again, she lied down on Francesco's bed. He faced away from Octavia and she faced away from him. "I will get you two back home. I promise," Francesco said before falling asleep. Before Octavia did the same, she said: "Thank you."
