Tears of the Moon

Chapter 1: awakening

Chapter 1: awakening

Dec 16, 2020

I heard voices. The voices of many people. It was as if there had been a party around me. I opened my eyes. I was lying on some very expensive looking carpet. I got up and noticed as people walked past me. It's like no one even sees me. All people have very expensive clothes on. How did I get here? Suddenly an old lady took me by the hand and took me to another room. I didn't even have time to say anything. The room was really big. There was a small and a pool table. The old lady took me to talk to some other old people.

“Here she is” The old lady said.

“Yes Yes. This ceremony will be a success” The old man said.

“Who you are and where I am” I said.

“Don't talk like that. That is very rude” The old lady said.

The old lady let go of my hand. I ran quickly to the next room. It was kind of a dining room. In the middle of the room was a large table with at least ten chairs on each side. Then I noticed when the door opened from the other side of the room. A maid came into the room. She must have been my age. She had straight and beautiful hair. But for some reason she also had an eye patch in her right eye. She looked at me but said nothing. She put a huge cake in the middle of the dining table. She looked at me again but walked back to where she came from. I realized I was in the mansion. I left to go towards the front door but two old men grabbed me by the hands and took me back to the dining room.

I was put in a chair that was just around the corner from the table. They tied my hands and sat down. Everyone looked like they were expecting something. I tried to get off the chair. Then the big door at the back of the room opened. Was that door there last time? I'm not sure. There was a lot of smoke behind the door and then a young man walked into the room. He was wearing a really handsome suit. The whole room was completely quiet. Then the man began to walk at the dining table. He walked over all the food and smiled. Then he looked at me.

“Welcome to our ceremony. As many of you will surely remember when last year we had a bit of a problem with food. But I can assure you that this time will be perfect. We have a newcomer who is tied to that chair. We can welcome her too. Her name is Rei. She has been chosen for this by Celestia herself. But without further ado, the ceremony begins.” He said.

The man took a knife from his pocket and slit his wrist open. There was a lot of blood. He took a glass and spilled blood there. When the glass was full of blood, he handed it to the old lady. The old lady got up from the table and started approaching me. Two old men grabbed my head and kept my mouth open. The old lady poured blood into my mouth. I had to swallow it all. The men let go and I felt weird. Then I started feeling really bad pain in my head.

“AAAA!!!! HELP ME!!!! IT HURTS!!!!” I shouted.

Then the pain just disappeared. What is happening to me? I raised my head and noticed that all the guests were skeletons. I couldn’t move my body. I saw when one skeleton took the scissors and walked next to me. He started cutting my hair. I couldn't even talk anymore. It didn’t take long for the skeleton to be ready. He put the mirror in front of me. My hair was now just up to my shoulders. Then another skeleton came to my other side. He poured something sticky on my head. I didn’t know what it was but it smelled really bad. Then both skeletons went back to sit.

The large door at the back of the room opened again. I was finally able to move. The ropes which I was tied were also gone. I got up from my chair and went for a walk towards the door. The skeletons just stayed in place. They did not move at all. I also tried my head but the sticky substance was also gone. There was a garden on the other side of the door.

When I got out the door closed behind me. In front of me was a small table and two chairs. In the second chair sat a woman with a very gothic dress on. She drank tea.

“Just come here and sit down” She said. I had no choice but to obey. I sat to the chair and she poured me tea.

“Who are you?” I asked.

“My name is Celestia. Nice to meet you” She said.

“Why am I here?”

“You have been chosen as the guest of honor for our ceremony”

“What is this ceremony and why me?”

“Because that is her wish”

“Her?”

“Exactly”

“Who is her? What are you talking about? I want to go home”

“Follow me” Celestia said and stands up.

She blew some strange smoke from her mouth. She walked through the smoke and disappeared. I quickly followed her. I had a strange feeling. It felt like time had stopped for a moment. Suddenly I was floating. There was nothing but smoke around me. I turned around and noticed that Celestia was behind me.

“This place is now your home. Reality has now changed from you. You are the one who makes the last flower bloom.”

“I don't understand anything you're talking about. And I will not agree to anything!” I shouted.

“Unfortunately, you have no options.” Celestia smiled.

Suddenly Clestia was next to me. She kissed me on the cheek. Then she whispered in my ear. “Wake-up”.

I opened my eyes. I was in my own home. It was all just a dream. I got out of bed and walked in front of the mirror. I noticed that my hair had been cut and dyed black. What happens to me? I looked at the clock and realized I had to go to school. I took off my pajamas and put on my clothes. I put on my favorite hoodie. I like hoodies that are a little big. I put my school backpack on my back. I looked at my apartment before I left. My apartment was really messy. There was clothes everywhere. Anyway, I didn’t have a big apartment. One large room and bathroom. I left my apartment.

I was in a hurry so I ran as hard as I could. But luckily the school was not far away. When I got into the school yard, two of my friends were waiting me. One of them had glasses and was really shy. Her name is Nanami. My other friend is really popular among the boy. She always has expensive clothes with her. Her name is Maki. I hugged them both.

“What have you done to your hair?” Maki asked.

“Oh this... Well...”

“I think it looks good on you” Nanami said quietly.

“Thank you” I said.

“Those boys seem to like your new hair, too” Maki said and pointed to a group of boys who were in front of the school doors.

“Don't say that, it's embarrassing”

“We'd better go inside already. The class starts very soon” Nanami said.

“Good idea” I said we went inside.

The class was really boring the teacher was late again. I put my head on the desk. I was just closing my eyes until I felt a really big pain in my head. It was the same as in my dream. I had to go to the bathroom. The teacher walked past me.

“Rei where you're going?” The teacher said.

I didn't listen to me hurts too much. I had finally gotten to the bathroom. The pain had already begun to ease. I washed my face and I was already feeling much better. What is wrong with me? I walked out of the bathroom. In the hallway, I hit one classmate in an accident. He was one of those boys who had stared at me before.

“I'm really sorry. Are you hurt?” He asked.

“I'm fine. Sorry” I said.

“I like your new hairstyle. It suits you really well”

“Thank you” I said and blushed.

“Would you go with me to a movie on Friday?”

“Umm... I'm not sure... I think about it”

“Great. I have to go now but i see you again”

“Okay, bye”

“Bye” He said and left.

I went back to class. All the students stared at me. And no wonder I behaved pretty strangely. I sat down. The teacher had already put the paper on my desk. The paper had math notes. This was really boring. I would have time to do three tasks until something red flowed from the ceiling directly onto my desk. It was blood. Then the whole roof stopped leaking at different spots. Blood spilled on the students but no one reacted to it in any way. I am the only one who sees it.

“Sorry but I have to go to do something” The teacher said and left the class.

I scratch my eyes and all the blood was gone. I'm going crazy. Maybe I should go see a nurse. Then the teacher came back to class. Well that was fast.

“Listen everyone. A new tranfer student will come to our class. Please be nice to her. She has been in an accident that causes her to have an eye patch in her right eye.” The teacher said.

I raised my head. The new girl walked in front of the class. She had beautiful black hair that covered her eye where was the eye patch. Her clothes were normal. Blue shirt and black pants. She was really cute. The whole class started talking to each other about how cute she was. But I was in shock. That girl was the same one I had seen there at the mansion. She was that maid. How is this possible? It wasn't a dream.
