Chapter 30

Watching Luna leave, Tristin shakes his head, and lets out a sigh of regret.

"Luna?" he called.

(Luna, don't! Just keep going, don't look back. He's a jerk if he doesn't want you. You love him too much, and that's your problem. Don't listen to that heart of yours longing for him, or that body of yours craving for his touch. Just keep going, Luna. Don't listen!) Luna spoke to herself in her mind.

"Luna? Hold on a sec" Tristin speaks again.

The severity in Tristin's tone of voice compels Luna to stop moving. She tried to relax her tensed muscles, so she could make a decision - leave the scene, or go back to Tristin.

(What are you thinking Luna! This is the one dude you've loved for years, and you're just going to give up so easily. Turn back, go to him. Who knows? He might say just what you want to hear)

"Okay, what do you have to say?" Luna asks

(Tristin eyes gets stuck with Luna's as he moves closer to her. The sexual tension between them was nuts, one could cut it with a knife)

"Luna Jenkins. I, I, you know what. Imma be real with you. You're one of the most beautiful girls I've met in my entire life. Your bravery and confidence is intimdating. It's no wonder how you stood up to those beasts at Paradise. You're an amazing girl, Luna"

"What exactly do you have to say Tristin. Skip the flattery, and say the real stuff, please"

(Tristin looks away. He had already made things weird enough)

"We kissed, you want to talk about it. That's just...it's not what I'm used to. I make out with a lot of girls. We have protected sex, and there's no talking about shit after. I understand you have feelings for me Luna, but I don't feel the same way. I mean, you're Shane's younger sister. Ha ha, I wouldn't want to go into a relationship with you"

(Luna loses her shit)

"What the actual fuck. You know you're one hell of a jerk. You can't be in a romantic relationship with Shane's younger sister, but you can make out with her. You could grab her ass, kiss her passionately, give her hickeys, and finger her, all for your own pleasure. And you should know. I have had a crush on you ever since I hit puberty. Yeah, I admire other guys though, but you, you were just different. My heart would skip as much eight beats whenever I see you. I was crazy about you, blabbing about Tristin Martinez to all I could confide in - my best friend, my mom, Nicole. I would sit all day, thinking, fantasizing, creating scenarios about you and I, in my mind. Finally, I get to kiss you. You kiss me back, get me turned on, and we make out so hard you wanted to have sex. And now, you can't go into a relationship with Shane's younger sister!? You know what I think Tristin. You're an asshole. Not just any kind though. You're a self centered handsome piece of shitty asshole, who feels he can get any girl he wants because he's hot"

(Tristin feels bad for hurting Luna)

"Luna. It's not...You have to get it. I didn't mean to..." Tristin tries to put words together.

(Luna faces backwards, letting the tears roll down her cheeks)

(Tristin gets in front of her)

"Wipe those tears off that pretty face Luna" Tristin said. His tone full of concern, with facial expression that read 'care'.

"Why, Tristin. I don't get it. Why don't you love me. Why can't you just let me be your girlfriend. Please?" Luna begged, in a straight forward manner.

(Tristin says nothing. One more wrong sentence could fuck Luna up, and he didn't exactly want that)

"Say something Tristin. You just said I'm beautiful twice now. What's wrong with me. Why can't you just fucking love me, Tristin!" Luna is finding it hard, controlling her emotions.

"It's not that. I just. I can't commit, okay! Not now, and no offence, if I were to start getting involved in committing relationships, you're not worth being my first. I make out with girls a lot Luna. You shouldn't make a fuss about this, really!"

"What do you mean? It's no big deal kissing my crush for the very first time. It's no big deal thinking I might have had a shot, turning my fantasies to reality? Just fuck off. Let me be. Besides, I'm not worth being in a relationship with Tristin Martinez"

"I see your mind can't change. Grow up Luna! This is the exact reason I hate making out with younger girls" Tristin said, walking away.

It's just Luna, alone, outside the tents. The wind was blowing aimlessly around her. The sun wasn't up yet, though the darkness around her had faded because it was already past 4am. The stars had disappeared, nothing made sense in Luna's head.

It was almost like her heart stopped, she could not feel again. Her body got as rigid as stone, she was numb. She could not move. Her brain cells were having trouble processing things. She lost her shit.

All of a sudden, Luna can't feel her body. She's in so much pain and disarray, that even the thirst for blood was no where to be found. She had not had any blood for some hours now, and it didn't seem like she thirsted for any.

(Shane comes out of nowhere)

"Hi, Luna!" Shane says, grinning.

(Luna comes back to reality slightly, she can feel her body again)

"Not now, Shane" She attempts to walk away.

"No, you're going no where little sis. Tristin told me about your little stunt. You know, I shouldn't blame you. It's all Tristin's fault for making out with a loser like you. Now he hurt you, and you're all sad, and he's feeling bad about it"

"What did you say?" Luna faces Shane.

"Well, it's just something you're aware of. You're a loser, a girl that's desperate for a boyfriend, when really she's like an undate-able nerd"

"Say that again" Luna demands.

"Un date able nerd. Yes Luna, you would never get a boyfriend. No one will love you, and you will end up being a sad, old, cranky lady who never dated anybody. The sooner you accept this, the easier your life will be"

Shane Jenkins saunters away, after doing what he's best at doing - pissing Luna off.

"No, not this time. Shane Jenkins!" Luna yells, as she pulls Shane's shoulders backwards, throwing him to the floor.

"What the fuck Luna. I'm not beating up my kid sister. Well, I wouldn't give a fuck about my principles of not beating you if you do that again" Shane tries to get up.

Luna gapes at him in anger. The darkness around them grows thicker until Shane can see nothing. Luna's eyes is the only thing that's visible now. Thunder strikes, the ground starts shaking. Luna doesn't bother about any of these, as she is so pissed now. She doesn't even know if she's the one making these things happen.

Seconds later, Luna dashes across the air, meeting up with Shane, in a twinkle of an eye. She literally was as fast as the speed of light. She gets her fangs out, and inserts it into Shane's neck. Her bite was deep, cutting through Shane's skin, and inner layers. Blood rushes out speedily, which Luna feeds on. She sucks him dry, getting rid of all the blood in his body. After which, she lets him go, leaving him hurling to the ground, life less.

"You should learn to respect folks Shane. This should teach you that"

Luna doesn't know she fed on him till he had nothing left, so she waited for him to get up.

"At least, with this. You would never fuck with me ever again"

Luna's fangs is no longer elongated, her tensed muscles have relaxed. Everything was back to normal again. She felt relief and pure satisfaction, because of the blood she fed on.

She moves to Shane, who is lying on the ground, making no moves or sound.

"Shane! Shane!. Get the fuck up"

"I don't like games Shane. Get up now!"

She pushes his body with her legs. His neck gets to the top, she could see how fatal her bites were.

"No no. It can't be. I can't! Johnny! I have to go find Johnny"

Luna hurries to get Johnny.

"Johnny, I need your help!"

"Huh, why, what"

"Hey Luna. Let Johnny be. We having fun" Aidan said.

"Fuck off Aidan. Just come with me, Johnny" She pulls his hands with her, as they walked out of Johnny's tent.

********

"Luna, what did you do?"

"It's Shane. He was saying rude things to me, and I got so mad"

"What! Shane has always been like that. You know that. You shoulda just let his ass be, and tell him to fuck off rather than kill him" Johnny reprimanded Luna

"Tristin just messed me up. I wasn't thinking straight. I don't. I didn't mean to"

"Well, you've killed Shane so...we really can't turn back the wheels of time"

"What. I should heal him. I can't let him die. No no" Luna freaked out, panicking.

"You don't have to, Luna"

"What do you mean!?"

(Johnny puts his hand on his forehead, and lays down slightly, expressing frustration)

"It's all my fault. Of course something like this was bound to happen. I shouldn't have turned you. I shouldn't have saved you. I should have just let you be."

"Save me!? I'm confused here"

"If you didn't come for camping, I wouldn't have turned you, and this wouldn't happen. I saw you while I was patrolling one night, headed towards school. I knew you were probably not let by your parents, so you wanted to take things into your own hands, by going to School on your own, and going for camping without them knowing. I saw you attacked by some gangsters. They wanted to rape you, but I fucked with them"

(Luna gasps)

"Oh my god, you were the figure I couldn't decipher"

"I guess so. I had to move so fast, so you wouldn't discover who it was"

"Thank you really. You shouldn't regret doing that, you know. I know turning me into a vampire wasn't exactly nice, but I'm a vampire now. I've learnt to go on with it. Now, Shane problem. Why don't you heal him?"

"You don't get it yet, do you?"

(Luna gets more interested in what Johnny had to say. Her enthusiasm gets her to place her hands on Johnny's neck, requesting an explanation)

"Talk to me Johnny. Please?"

"He has vampire blood in his system. I healed him at Paradise too, remember?"

"Holy shit! But wait, the originals fed on them again"

"Yeah, but they didn't get enough blood out of them, to make them unconscious again. Then, you gave your speech, and you know what happened next"

"Yeah right" Luna nods her head.

"He would be back. And you know what happens next"

"Yeah" Luna said, not sure if its a good thing or bad thing.

(Shane's body moves in a vague way)

After a while, he breathes in audibly enough for all to hear, he came back to life.

Shane gets to his feet, with unexplainable signs.

His head hurts, his throat was almost on fire, his eyes were almost bulging out of place, his body felt strange. He didn't feel like himself.

"What's wrong!? Why are you both here. Why am I feeling this way. Somebody tell me what the fuck is going on!?"

(Luna walks up to him, to help him relax)

"Cool down Shane. You're a vampire now"

The End?
