The Lost Luna Is In Our Midst (Moon Goddess)

Lolo sat down in front of her black-and-white television set, her mind was a mess, and so was her room; on the floor, empty bottles of beer were scattered; it was obvious that she had been drinking herself to a stupor.

Her eyes were blurred with tears, and the strong enchanting evil queen looked hopeless, lifeless, and pathetic!

She was a shadow of her former self, her hair was scattered, and she looked like a mad broken woman who had just lost her only son to the cold hands of death.

‘ Knock Knock!” Knock echoes sounded on the door, but Lolo was too weak to stand up.

“Who is there? Go! Please, I want to die peacefully, ” she mumbled weakly; she looked drunk and tipsy.

“Hey Lolo, open up, it is me Nebula, ” the person at the door introduced himself anxiously.

“Oh, Nebula!” Lolo sighed and rested her head on the armchairs comfortably. “Go home Nebula! I am busy, I want to die; once I die, I promise to open the door for you, ” she mumbled in gibberish.

“Lolo, don’t you dare try anything stupid! ” Nebula yelled, banging on the door worriedly.

“No! You are a big bully, don’t you dare bully me, or else, I will report you to my brother, Cory! ” Lolo blabbed before she dozed off, traveling into a deep slumber.

“Cory? ” Nebula whispered sadly, memories of his friend filled his head, and he felt paralyzed.

“You betrayed everyone, why should I care about you now?!” Nebula asked himself a rhetorical question, but deep down, his mind was not at rest, he was deeply worried about Cory’s well-being. He still very much loves his friend.

Nebula managed to break the door open; when he entered her house, he saw the drunk Lolo, sleeping and snoring on the floor.

He carefully carried her to her room and laid her on the bed.

“No, don’t go, I still need you in my life, brother Cory, ” Lolo sleep-talked, holding onto Nebula’s shirt tightly.

“Hmm,” Nebula sighed, he gently removed Lolo’s hand from his shirt and left the room quietly.

He arranged the messy living room and prepared hot soup for her to drink when she woke up.

By the time he was through with the chores, it was very late in the night; so he decided to spend the night at her place.

That night Nebula could not sleep, he kept rolling and tossing on the armchair, his mind was not at rest, he was lost in his thoughts.

Slowly, his mind drifted away, to the time he first met the almighty Cory Biber.’

Flashback…

“No! No! Mama! Papa!” Little Nebula growled in agony as he kept hitting his dead parents.

He was at school when his uncle came to pick him up, Uncle Derick told him that his parents wanted to see him, and although Nebula was surprised by his parents’ sudden urge to see him, his joy knew no bounds.

“Uncle Derick, why are we in a hospital? ” Nebula asked as he looked around his environment.

“Your parents are here, so we came to greet them, ” Uncle Derick replied soberly.

“Why are they in a hospital? Oh! I hope Mama and my unborn baby are alright. ” little Nebula asked his uncle.

“Of course yes, they are both alright, ” Derick replied, and his face looked pitiful as he secretly stared at the happy little boy.

On entering the hospital, Nebula saw his aunties, uncle, and grandma, and they all looked dull the atmosphere was unfriendly.

” Grandma! ” Nebula went to meet his grandma. “Granny, where are my parents? ” he asked meticulously.

” A day will come when we all have to leave, the only difference is that we will all leave differently. Some will leave early while others will leave late! ” His grandma said and burst into tears.

” What is going on? You are confusing me! ” Little Nebula said with his tiny voice.

” Come here, little boy, ” His aunty Emma led him to a spacious room, the room was dark, and it smelled of blood.

Little Nebula had to block his nose. When the light was finally turned on, he saw his parents’ dead bodies on the bed. They were covered in a pool of their blood, and some parts of their body were missing.

” No! No! No! Mama! Papa! It can’t be”, Poor Nebula broke down in uncontrollable tears, Yelling and swearing for death.

” It was not a natural death, they were both in their car and I suddenly heard a scream for help, I carried a gun and tiptoed to their car.

On getting there, l saw them but they were already dead, and they were covered in a pool of blood, bite marks all over their body, as l looked around, l saw a group of men, they had blood all over their mouth when they saw me, they wanted to kill me but I screamed for help, l guess my screaming scared them because they ran away”, Baus, Nebula’s neighbor explained, he was shaking in fear.

That day, Nebula decided to visit Baus, to ask him a few questions, but on getting there, he met a group of scary men, and they wanted to kill him, but a young teenager saved his life….

Cory saved his life and took him to another village, where he was transformed into the beast he was.

End of flashback….

” Brother Nebula, ” Lolo gently tapped the sleeping Nebula on his shoulders

“Hum,” Nebula gently opened his eyes, and he smiled on seeing Lolo

“When did you come here? I can’t remember opening the door for you, or did you perhaps jump through the window?” Lolo asked curiously, and her question turned Nebula into a laughing box.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

” Why are you laughing? Do l sound funny?” Lolo asked with her raised eyebrows.

“No! No! But I saved your life, If it wasn’t for my help, you would have been long gone,” Nebula said when he finally stopped laughing.

“Long gone? What do you mean?” Lolo asked curiously.

“No need to worry about that; l need to get going,” Nebula said and stood up

” Okay, thank you very much for coming,” Lolo appreciated, and surprisingly she bowed her head.

Nebula was shocked, “Anytime little sis”, he replied and patted her head.

” Drink some fresh blood, and remember to stay out of trouble,” Nebula advised her like an elder brother.

“Okay, big brother,” Lolo replied with a ghostly smile

On her face.

“As for Cory, don’t worry I’ll contact him,” Nebula said, wondering how he was going to contact him.

“Contact him, then what? We can’t tell him to hand his heart over to me, Cory will never agree to that, and neither would l, l mean how would a man in his right sense give out his heart! ” Lolo lamented briefly.

“Don’t worry, we will think of a way out,” Nebula smiled at her before he left her house.

……

” And where are you coming from!?” Combo thundered, shaking the room walls.

…….

“Send me gifts!” Little Yasmine Clifford the first said with a cute smile.
