Chapter 38 - Part of

Moon wakes up in a white space, and he sees a book labeled "Astro's thoughts".

He opens the book, and it reads, "I was born from power. I am power. I am born better than everyone else. Since I was born, I was different. Not because I am a god. I am a genius. I am seen as the living hope for god's. Gods die young and old. Our time is unclear. It could be one day, week, or hour. Yet I was special because of my birth.

I was born from the almighty one and a dark angel. I was a stain to the god's image, yet I was never treated worse because I was special. I made a potion that can increase the lifespan of gods. I was looked at like I was divine. I was looked at like I was the most important ever. I was loved by the gods.

Unlike my sister, she was hated. Everyone hated her. I didn't. I never met her. So I chase after her. I made the potion so I would be praised by my father. He didn't look at me. After I made it and was receiving love from everyone. My big sister was being hated more and more. I hate how I can't meet her. I want to be with her. I want to meet her so badly.

While I was being praised, she was receiving fists of rage and hate. She was constantly being compared to me. I think it made her go mad. I think she hates me.

Then she ran away. Am I the reason she left? It was me. I know! I know it! I know!

I will darken my heart and barely share my gifts now. I won't hurt her again. I will look for her. I will bring her back and be the best little sister ever!

I must save her. It is my karma. My sin."

Moon closed the book and looked at Astro.

Astro wakes up in a dark space and sees a book labeled "Moon's story".

She opens it and it reads, "I was born with nothing. All around me is nothing. Before she found me, I could not remember anything. All I know is my name. M O O N, Moon is my name. I don't know my mother or father. I don't know myself. I know my name and age. My name is Moon Crow. Crow is my last name. Hikari is her name. She is bright. Full of light. But I, I am empty. I don't feel anything. I feel sad, but what is sad? I feel rage, but what is rage? I am lost. She reached out her hand. I don't know why, but I grabbed it. It was warm. So warm that I couldn't let go. I need to let go, but I can't. I'm, sacred. Not of her, but of me. I don't trust me. She smiled and didn't say a word. Now I was locked forever.

I can't let go. I met her mother. I was brought to a new house. They didn't mind my rags. Hikari's father looked at me like I was an object of amazement. Eclipse glanced once, then left soon after.

Hikari's mother said, "Hello and welcome to your new home." It was bright. She was bright. Everything was bright. I didn't know how to feel. I faked a smile, but then Hikari's mother began to cry. She said, "It was ok." She hugged and held me. She didn't let go.

No one hit me, but it hurt. Bad, it hurt so bad. I cried too, from the guilt of making her cry, and because I felt like I needed to cry, so I did. I did, I did, I did, I did, then I did again.

My heart broke.

I grew and was hated for being different. Hikari stood by me no matter what, yet I wanted her to stay away from me. I needed her to be away from me. I didn't have a heart to give her. I have nothing to give her. She gave me everything, yet all I can give her is nothing. How is that fair? Nothing is fair!

I got beat again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. I hated it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate everything!

So I fought even harder. I fought dirty. Very dirty as dirty as possible, so I can win. I loved winning.

I went home that day with the biggest smile on my face ever. I simply enjoyed it. Because of this, everyone hated me more, and I became even more isolated from anyone but my family.

All I had was Hikari, yet she was better than me at everything. She had friends, family, smarts, fitness, and lovers who wanted her.

She is the sun and I was well the moon to her. I was nothing. I have only what she gave me. She would brighten everyone's day. I would ruin it. I made her shine by just living. I don't understand why she cares about me. I don't know. So I pushed her away, then she pulled. Even closer than before.

She would watch me and try to control all the bad in my life. This did not make me happy. It made me feel worse. I hate myself and want to die. I still do.

I don't want to meet my mother or father because I owe Hikari too much to just leave her. Also, I don't want to ruin more lives while I can. My birth was enough. Throughout all my talk, I wish more with my lying words. I have to hide my pain."

The book stopped there with only more empty white pages that are waiting to be filled.

Astro dropped the book and cried. She said, "I hated him. And for what? He is only fourteen, yet I am much older than him. I took my dreams out on him, yet that's my issue. He made himself to be something that's not him. He needs and wants to be fixed, but he doesn't know what to do. Why? Why? Why?

Why did I have to been this way? I never looked at him, and it's all my fault. I am nothing. I am a god, but I am just like the rest. I like that no god piece of shit gods. I am not better than my father. I thought I was better than him. What a lie? Gods can see through everything. What a load of shit! What some dumb shit to beileve in. We are no better than anyone. We humans and gods are the same. Hell, and he wants to die. I will save him!"
