I recalled back to the day I met him, he seemed rather strange, different, he looked so perfect, there was no word to describe him now that this is happening, I vividly remember that night when he fell down right in front of me, I knew my eyes weren't deceiving me that very day, this explains it, this was why he was not even wounded that very night, I also remember the day he got a cut and it healed some moments later, I can't believe this, this can't be true. Memories flashed in my head, clarifying why some weird things that happened to him, why he seemed different, it was clear to me now, the mysterious guy I've been looking for was right in front of me, he has been with me always but the other day he took me to his house and he opened the door, this is impossible, his golden eyes shined brighter, his wings covered my whole body shielding me, I looked into his eyes and still felt that lust but fighting so hard not to show it, now I know who he truly was, that guy wasn't lying when he said he was keeping secrets.
I'm sorry, I had to, uh ( sucks teeth) Luna, now do you see his true colors, this is who Corazon truly his and I'm not done here, my aim is to kill him and you and your brother, then the score is settled, you dream too much, that's not gonna happen, not today, not never, let's see, go!!.
Luna, stay here and don't move.
I stood frozen as he flew closer to the monsters coming towards us, he fought all without the help of another, they all seemed to be weaker in respect of strength, speed and accuracy, his bow appeared out of nowhere and he shot each of them one by one till the only one left was the guy. ( Claps) Well done Corazon, you seemed to have sent all my minions back to hell but you forgot one, Luna! Luna!!, run.
I turned around and saw this huge monster before I could even turn around to run, it grabbed my hair and pulled me down and the lights went off.
Uh, the princess is unconscious now what will the prince do, biggest mistake Antonio, don't you ever underestimate your enemy not even once. I spread my wings and it made a huge wind storm, lightning struck and this was the perfect weapon, I pulled the strings and released an arrow, it took down the monster and also struck Antonio. This is the beginning of the end, I promise you, I'll be back and you'll regret this action, I promise you Antonio.
I went for Luna who was already lying unconscious, I took her in my arms and flew into the sky, the rain was pouring heavily just as if the sky had open up for the rain to wash down the earth, I flew straight to my apartment, drenched and cold, I laid her on the bed, I tried everything I could to warm her up first, then tried to heal her with magic then I realized the power of the Aegis in her was resisting every spell since she was unconscious, I had no choice but to wait, I knew she was going to be fine but a part of me was telling me otherwise. I stayed by her side and lost track of time, it was sunset already, the rain had stopped and the sky was losing the ray of the sun, then I heard her, she moaned in pain.
Luna, say something, are you alright?, what happened?, how did I get here, ahh my head, what happened?, you don't remember anything?, did I do something?, my head is throbbing with pain, what happened to me?
Questions started racing through my head, doesn't she remember what happened?, is this a good thing or a bad thing?, she doesn't know my secret now, she doesn't remember the encounter with Antonio?. You fell when we were in the cafe, I had to bring you here since it was closer, you were unconscious for a very long time, let me get you some medicine for the pain, thank you.
I had this dream while I was unconscious, I was in someone's arms and we were flying, it was a guy though, he had golden eyes just like you, maybe it was that mysterious guy, yeah, you might have been thinking about him too much that you were dreaming about him, he also had golden eyes like I do, maybe, here take this, it'll relieve you of the pain, thank you, I'm starving, I'm sure the pizza's gone right?, yeah must've been burnt already, I'll order some for us, along with some smoothie please, okay.
Something felt off from the moment I woke up, something was missing from me, I felt it, more like a memory, all I can remember is me and him being the cafe and making pizza but I don't remember anything after that, what really happened, I also remember going inside the rain but it's not clear to me at all, he said I fell and lost consciousness but he didn't tell me about how I got into the rain and there's no proof that I was in the rain, was I dreaming?, did all of that actually happen, I don't know what to believe right now, Corazon or my own hazy memories, I don't know which one to trust but I know Corazon wouldn't lie to me and my head was clearly not playing me, I need to shake this off. The pizza will be here in 5 minutes, can we go watch a movie?, no you need to take care of yourself, you need to rest, I'm fine Corazon, then you'll have to wait for the delivery guy to get here first, just cancel it, please, I need to clear my head, oh okay, give some minutes.
I was once here and I knew that I could change my clothes here, I didn't feel quite comfortable in this. I took a warm bath wrapped a towel around myself and braided my hair in a goddess braid, I took out a short gown and was ready for the movies. Corazon!, where are you?, I'm here, you look stunning, well let's go, thank you and yes let's go.
Throughout the drive to the cinema, I was lost in thoughts about what actually happened, I knew I was missing something, just one thing, I knew that wasn't the complete truth, I was doubting myself and Corazon at the same time, could he lie?, at the same time, could my mind be playing me, I don't understand any of what is happening. Luna we're almost there, which movie fo you wanna watch, umm, I like romance, seriously, romance, ( sighs ) well it's your call, you don't fancy romance, why?, I fancy them but I wasn't expecting you to choose romance since you were the type who liked soap and K-drama, yeah but it could be K-drama or Hollywood, I just want to watch romantic movies, they are soothing, yuck!, don't yuck me, sorry (laughs) we're here, good ,okay let's go.
After series of romantic movies we headed out to a restaurant, we had dinner and it was the best I've been to yet, Corazon was such a friend ready to make me happy at all costs, it was then I decided to believe his story about my accident in the cafe, I knew he'd never lie to me.
As we were walking back home I had to make sure if she actually forgot everything that had happened earlier today. Luna, so you still don't remember anything that happened?, no, I don't, I don't wish to anymore, I trust you, (smiles)
She doesn't recollects anything that happened, that's a very good thing or else I might be facing a lot of issues right now but she doesn't. I'll call a taxi that'll take you home, okay, Alex must be worried and you need to get your beauty sleep because we're going to rock the competition tomorrow, yeah, you missed the last on and I almost lost, you have to do this with me, I won't miss it, thank you, taxi!!, bye Luna, have a good night, bye Corazon.
Now I need to know how to protect Luna and Alex from Antonio, he really has gotten stronger, I really have to find a way to stop him at all cost, it will take him some time before he returns because that last shot was worth it, it'll take him time to heal whatever wound that inflicted on him, that was the lightning effect, I also once took that shot and took me weeks to heal, I know he'll lay low for some time, this is my opportunity to draft out my plan, you can't do it alone.
The voice seemed familiar, who was it?, Alex!, what do you mean by that?, what are you doing here?, Corazon, I witnessed everything that happened at the cafe, I know what happened and I know what you are, though not exactly what you are, I know you are the mysterious guy Luna's been going crazy about, you came there the other day and you saved us, you were there for her always, firstly, thank you for protecting my sister and keeping both of us safe from whoever that guy is, would you mind giving an explanation, he's Anteros my counterpart, he was once like me as well but something happened which made him Anteros, he had vowed to destroy everything I had, whomever I make friends with and he has made it his destiny to actually eliminate any one who is my love interest, I have been trying to set things right ever since, so what are you guys, angels or what, we are Cupids and now I stand as the only one left who spreads love, the only god of love, he has become the exact opposite and has been spreading hatred all around so he can make his army, one shot from him can turn one into his slave with pure hatred, so why does he wants to kill both Luna and I, you guys are the only friends I had ever since the day I arrived on earth, he noticed that I got closer to you guys, so he's determined to kill you both so he can get even with me, he also said he was able to break through to us now, was he not able to do that before?, I created a shield out of the most powerful weapons to have been ever created, you both wield it now, he's ordinary arrows couldn't go through the barrier so he took help from the devil Lucifer, he granted him power in return for inmates and I, he has been after Luna more because I mistakenly shot her and she set her eyes on me first, it made her fall in love with me not knowing it's me, she saw you didn't she?, why is she still cool with it then?, the Luna I know won't talk to you for days, I don't know what happened, she seemed to have forgotten everything, she doesn't remember the encounter earlier today, though it seemed very bad for her to lose such a memory but it's for the best she doesn't, so, in a nutshell, that guy just wants to kill you and he wants to destroy every relationship you have first before doing so, Luna's in love with you and she doesn't know, you know she once told me there was something off about you, she said whenever she looks inti your eyes, she feels as if she belongs to you, that feeling of lust, I just shook her off that feeling so she can feel free around you but when I saw her earlier, she needed you, I saw how close she got, I knew my sister well, at first, I thought you might have drugged her but saw it was from her not from you, you were just, okay that's enough, how do we stop this guy?, I can't stand still and let someone kill my sister, no way, so how do we stop him?, that I don't know yet, he has gotten so strong but I know he'll lay low, yeah, I saw what you did there, you flapped those wings so hard, they created a wind storm, where are the wings by the way?, you can't see them, oh okay, I'll need some time to find out how to neutralize his powers, I can't leave Luna's side, if knows that, he'll attack knowing that she can do nothing to stop him, we have to keep this away from Luna, it's for her safety, I know, I need to go alright Alex, okay, Corazon, thank you, for protecting my sister, anytime, bye.
Even though a little of it has been taken off my shoulders, the burden still seemed heavy, handling the whole Antonio problem was quite hard alone, Alex now knows about my secret and he's ready to risk anything to protect his sister, I should understand that since there's no one else to do that for her but this is way beyond any human power, Antonio won't back down unless his task is done and dusted and I'm not ready to let that happen, at least I have someone to talk to when I need to, today's the day of the competition, I can't let Luna down and I also need to protect her, I have to find a way to neutralize Antonio and his powers permanently then I can have a peaceful life
After a very long day, watching movies with Corazon and some more I can barely remember I thought og going to bed. I slid into my PJs after taking a nice bath, laid on the bed and shut my eyes. Darkness swirled, thick and suffocating. Then, a pinprick of light, growing larger, warmer. I gasped, my eyes fluttering open. Disorientation slammed into me like a wave. The ceiling above wasn't mine. A strange room. Panic tightened my chest. I sat up, a groan escaping my lips as a sharp throb pulsed behind my eyes. Fragments of images flickered – a blurred face with eyes like molten gold, the wind whipping through my hair, the dizzying sensation of soaring above the world. A gasp caught in my throat. It felt… real. But impossible. Had I been dreaming?
"Corazon?" The name felt foreign on my tongue, a question mark hanging in the air. He said I had fallen. But the flying… the golden eyes… a shiver traced its way down my spine. Something wasn't adding up. A piece of the puzzle was missing, just out of reach. Though the whole flashback still seemed unreal and blurry, I started to wonder if these were my memories or another's, I remember those golden eyes vividly, I saw the wings as well but I didn't know how to explain to myself how I had these memories even before forgetting them, I thought about all activities that happened today and all I could point as the source of the memories was when I was unconscious, so it was either Corazon lied to me about what happened or I'm going crazy.
I put on my flip flops and was going to the cafe to see what might have happened.
I got to the cafe, went in and my head started throbbing with immense pain than before, I held my head in pain, the pain was unbearable, it was like sticking pins in my head, I stumbled for before memories flashed through my head but blurry, I couldn't tell what was going on with myself, I tried to sit then the memory of me and Corazon became clear, it was as if it was just happening, the pizza, the procedure and the oven, it was coming back, the way he rolled the pin, how he added the other ingredients, the moment he placed it in the oven, the conversation we had and how I got outside, then the thunder clapped, I was shocked, it brought me back to reality, my heart was beating like it had a race of no destination, another memory flashed back, I was in the rain and drenched but Corazon stayed in the cafe, I was trying very hard to remember what happened but a very hard object struck my head and I fell, I tried looking at what hit me but before I could I passed out.
A part of me felt pain, it was like someone who was attached to me was in in pain, my mind was directed towards one person and that was Luna, what if something had happened to her?, I'm sure she's home but why do I feel restless, cold sweat ran down my forehead, I became powerless at that moment, my heart hastened and I was feeling pain, I shivered without noticing, I pulled myself together but no difference, I still had that feeling of fear mixed with concern, I had no choice, I have to get to Luna, my wings came to life all of a sudden as if they had a mind of their own, then I knew something was wrong, I was too eager to check up on her, I flew into the dark sky and my mind became my compass, I found myself standing in front of the cafe, I stepped in suddenly an arrow went through the door, it made it's way through, giving me a tiny cut, now I was sure Luna was in danger, I saw Luna tied to a chair, gagged up and blindfolded, I could tell she was unconscious, I made an attempt to get to her then lots of arrows aimed for me immediately, I barely made my way through them, knowing I wasn't alone I still managed to take off the blindfold off her, I tried waking her up but no response. Luna!!, wake up, Luna!!!, ( groans weakly) is that you Corazon?, help, ( claps ) oh my my, Corazon is here to save Luna but he doesn't know that he'll die if he has to do that, poor Corazon, I hate to see it end like this as well, Antonio, please let Luna go, it's me you want right?, I'm right here, please, awww, you're pleading, that's not gonna your fate and hers, because after killing you, I'll kill her, no Antonio, don't do this, this is way beyond revenge, this is madness, you need to stop this, please, hmmm, I'll think about it but you have to entertain me, you see those big guys and the little ones, try and save all of them then maybe I'll reconsider, kill him.
A whole army of mindless killing machines running towards me, I flew out of the cafe to avoid any damage, they were faster and stronger, they could barely keep up with me in our last encounter but it was vice versa this time around, I fought all till I started shooting my arrows, aiming at each one of them, returning those who were humans back to their normal selves and sending inmates back to hell, I was bruised and was losing so much stamina, I could barely breath, after countering I went straight for Antonio but he had Luna already waiting at the door, he was witnessing the whole fight.
Hmm, you really did defeat all of my minions, like I said I'll reconsider and now I just did, after killing you, I'll kill her and her brother, take over their business and everything they have, how fun is that?, you'll have to get through me first Antonio, with pleasure brother.
I opened my eyes steadily I saw the brawl between two beings, I recognized one as the one who had always saved me when I got into danger but after looking closer I realized it was Corazon, he looked exactly like the mysterious guy, all the memories flashed back immediately, I saw everything, it was all clear, the rain, the closeness between I and Corazon, the weird guy that wants me dead, the monsters, how it dragged me before falling unconscious, I grabbed my head and screamed so loud it made both of them stop, I screamed his name but this time I called out to save him, an arrow went through his chest.
Never turn your back to your enemy but you didn't turn your back, you faced her and it got you killed, what have you done to him?, Corazon!!, Corazon, please say something. Before I could say any other thing I saw blood, I knew that this meant trouble, he laid helplessly on the floor, he held my hands looking directly into it and said " I'll be back, I know so, I'll always be with you, you just have to believe".
Alright that's enough, listen he's not dead,y aim wasn't perfect, he'll be back but to serve me, so I won't kill you yet, I'll just make him suffer till the day he remembers, he'll become a slave to me, so don't waste those yet, you'll have to repeat it the day dies, Luna, I'll keep him alive on one condition, you'll have to keep living your life as my own, everything you have shall belong to me, you are the only one who can protect me from any attack at any time, deal?, do you promise you'll keep him alive?, you have my word, ( crying ) okay, oh good c'mon let me take him, where are you taking him ?, I'm trying to revive him, then we'll leave.
I watched as he brought him back to life, he was still unconscious but I could see he was breathing, at the very moment I realized he had been the one saving me every time, he had to die just because of me, nowi have to stay by Antonio's side just so he can keep him alive, at first I didn't know Antonio, his very own brother was the one who wanted to kill me but I wasn't concerned about that but rather concerned about Corazon who was at the brink of death before being revived, I knew this was the only way to keep him alive and I had no other choice.
