Unwilling Goddess

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Jun 27, 2021

The shout came from the open garage & from a small child. He was chocolate colored with frizzy dark brown hair & wore a black hoodie & jeans. "R-Rook? What're you-!" the child ran & jumped onto Crow. He stumbled, trying his best to catch the small child, but it didn't help. Crow fell backwards, hitting the ground. "C-Crow!?! Are you ok?" Crow winced, but still nodded slowly & the kid got up. "Where were you!?! I got worried & Rae wouldn't tell me anything!" he rolled his eyes, turinging to me. "Luna, this is my brother, Rook. Rook, look kid, I promise I'll tell you later ok. For now... I just want to come inside." Rook moves away, heading inside, picking up Stella as he went & running off. We walk into the family room as I give Crow a worried look. "Make yourself comfy Luna; I'll grab some drinks... oof, & some medicne." Crow leaves as I hesitantly sit on the couch. "Hi." the boy is back, staring at me. "Wanna watch tv?" I nodded as he turned it on, flipping through channels until he landed on some show with brightly colored people all in a school setting.
"Crow said your name is Luna."
"That's right. He called you... Rook?"
"Uh huh. Rook Chase, 10 years old. You?"
"Luna Clark... 17 years old."
"Sick."
"I guess."
He was quiet for a little while. "You like cats?" I gave a small nod. "I do. Thats... Stella right?" he nodded proudly as Crow finally came back with three cans of pop. "Little ass is more like it." as he spoke, the cat swatted at him. "Whatcha wa... Rook, c'mon. Rae will kill us if she found out we watched a few episodes ahead." Rook shushed him. "Then we better hope she doesn't find out." I exhaled deeply, sinking into the couch. "Aye, you ok?" Crow said. "Yeah, yeah... just... I didn't realize how much the nightmare took out of me." he nodded. "Look, you don't have to stay. You can g-" "This is what you like? Seems boring to me." I gave a hesitant glance to where Charlie's voice came from; it was behind Rook. Stella stared at the ghostly figure with a confused look, as if wondering why no one else was reacting to him. "I-It's ok. I like it here, I'll be ok." I said, trying to answer both boys as Crow shrugged. "Ok... if you insist." Charlie let out a huff. "You were more fun back with those cops... at least there you do stuff." he grumbles. "What cops?" Rook asks, looking in Charlie's direction. "Huh? What you say Rook?" Crow asked, confused; Charlie looked delighted. "Oh my... this is interesting... you can hear me, can't you little one." Rook shrinks back my blood runs cold as I rush to my feet. "O-On second thought, I should go home. I just remembered Demi asked me for help with something. S-See you!" I pratically ran out of the house, dailing Demi as fast as I could. "C'mon... pick up, pick up, pick-" "Hello?" Demi says, sounding tired. "M-Mom..." I muttered; there was shuffling on her end of the phone. "Sorry! My daughter had a incident at school... they want me over ASAP... n-no, no, I can get there myself. I appreciate your kindness." she says to someone; there's a long pause before she speaks again. "T-They're still on! I really have to go... I'll make it up to you. Promise" she says as I hear a door swing open. "Talk to me sweetie." My throat had closed up a long time ago, only letting out squeaking noises. "I'm on the way home now ok?"

Im huddled on the couch, trying to steady my breathing. Every little sound is amplified ten fold; I can hear the neighbors playing muic in their homes, a woman running past the house, also playing music, but in headphones. My head starts to ache as I can feel my body change to a divne form. How did Rook hear Charlie? Where was Charlie? If he wasn't dead, how was he doing this? "Well... that was interesting. You think he's a Oracle?" my head feels like it'll burst as Charlie keeps talking. "Hey, what? I'm shook up too. No one else can see, let alone hear m-" I fall to the floor, writing as I heard something wet rip. My breathing suddenly slows to a near stop as I stare at my hand shaklily; my nails are more like claws than anything now. I feel the floor changing below me to something soft; it a gold color, but my eyesight is getting hazy to make out anymore details. My eyes sting & ache as I try & move; I'm suddenly very aware of all my organs & their movements. I can feel my blood traveling through my veins. This is bad... someone could come in at any moment & I don't think I look entirely human anymore; I feel a tail, which confirms my suspisions. My body burns up as I hear something crackle as if on fire... there go my clothes. The floor suddenly gets very cold, but its  "C-Charlotte...?" Charlie says in a serious tone. I shake my head. "Go away... please... please, just go away! Stop haunting me!!! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! PLEASE!" the ground rumbles & my hearing starts to intensify too; my jaw hurts. I hear music playing faintly, along with a woman singing... it's a familiar tune. I can't help but smile as my body fully relaxes. Shutting my eyes won't hurt... right?

I stand up shakily & touch my head, where I can feel blood running down. My legs are touching the grass outside; when did I go outside? Someone is shaking me, but everythign is blurry. I slowly open my eyes & see a shadowy figure jump back. "FUCK! Fuck... sorry, sorry. I-I'm ok." I can't remember the voice but there's a sigh. "Luna? Luna honey, are you ok?" Demi is staring at me, tears in her eyes. "What... what happened...?" Demi gives me an odd look. "U-Um... well-" I sit up on my own & notice the problem... well, multiple problems; there is a massive dome covering our house, but it's nearly invisible. There's cops all over the outside, all tinged a slight white color... then there's the house it's self. It's covered in gold & diffrent symbols fly on its exterior; there's a massive creature sitting on the front poarch, as if guarding it. It's an amalgamation of too many things for me to even begin to comprehend what it is. I stand up & notice how fluid my motions are. "I... I..." I can't believe it; I made all of this happen. "T-There's more." Demi says slowly. "You didn't just dome the house... the entire subdivision is domed. You put an extra one over the house." I try to move but find it diffucult. "You have to swim." Demi said, gently leading me to the top center of the inner dome. "I'm so sorry... d-do phones-" "I got you covered. You look... different." Demi shows me a photo of myself; my hair is incredibly long & my eyes are glowing a bright red color, but that isn't the oddest part. I now have two sets of horns; the most frontward pair stems from my forehead, matching my skin tone & curling like a goats. The second pair stems from the center of my head & resemble antilope horns. A white cloth covers me just enough & my tail is now a lilac color. "I'm so sorry... I didn't mean it, I-" "Later ok. For now..." we reach the top & I take a deep breath, placing my palm on it. There's a sound of a popping balloon & Demi starts to fall; I grab her, floating us down gently. The gold on the house, as well as the creature fade away; the cops slowly get in their cars & drive away. "C'mon... I brought food." Demi takes me inside as I can finally relax, even if everything is still spinning. I shakily sit at the kitchen table. "So... what happened?" I fidget. "C-Crow's brother... h-he heard Charlie... I-I'm sorry, but I-I couldn't stay there, so I came home & Charlie kept talking & with seeing him the other day I-" I began to cry, wailing like an infant. "P-Plus, I-I-I-I-I don't even know h-h-how I c-c-c-changed like tha-a-a-at... I just wanna be normal! I don't want these powers, I-I-I just-" Dmei brought me in for a tight hug.
"I am so sorry honey... I'll have everyone look into his family ok? For now... eat this & sleep. I'll tell school something."
"B-But your cover-"
"Don't worry. He's smitten for me; he'll be ok."
"A-Alright then."
"I love you Luna Charlotte."
"I-I love you too Demitree."

I kinda wanted to show off more of the scope of Luna's powers in this chapter, but also go in to why she doesn't like to use them. Remember, she is a goddess, meaning she is dangerous if she's under too much stress.

Have a bit of lore sprinkled in as a sorry for the long wait.
