RotBTFD Fan Fiction: The Moon's Light Ch. 5

~Luna’s POV~

                It’s only been an hour after I returned home after Jack dropped me off. I paced around my room for most of the time while I was deep in my thoughts. I’d actually been thinking about Pitch’s deal and whether or not to actually trust him. “Wait, why would I even think about doing that? I remember Jamie’s story about Pitch. He is nothing but a little sneaky shadow,” I say to myself. I walk near my window and look out into the cloudless night as the moon shines its rays down onto the land. I sigh then walk away. “What am I going to do? I can’t tell anyone about this.”

                “About what?” I gasp and turn around only to find Jack leaning against the wall near my window.

                “Jack! When did you get here?!” He walks up towards me and then places his hands on my shoulder.

                “Luna, what’s going on? Did something happen to you?” He asks.

                “W-What are you talking about?” I say nervously.

                “I know something is up. Elsa tried to hide it, but I know she couldn’t keep a secret from me. Now answer me, what is going on?”

                My eyes grow wide. I knew Elsa was bad at keeping secrets from others, for the most part, but I thought she was better than that. I know she wouldn’t blurt out my secret to everyone “Nothing is going on Jack. I’m completely fine; I’m not hurt at all.”

                “Well, Luna, I know that’s a complete lie. Why can’t you just trust me?!?!”

                Then tears start to escape my eyes. “You don’t think I trust you Jack. I completely trust you! It’s just I don’t trust myself at all!”

                “Have you ever thought that if you needed help I would be there for you? Huh?”

                “You just wouldn’t understand. I know Elsa would that’s why I told her instead of you! You are as understanding as Elsa is!!!”

                I knew I’d crossed the line, but at this point, I, frankly, didn’t care. After spatting out that sentence, Jack’s expression completely changed. Instead of worrying about me, he was angry with me. “Whatever, Luna.” He begins walking out of my room, of course by flying out the window, but before he flew away he looks at me and says, “I thought you could trust me with anything, Luna. I thought a relationship was built on trust. But, I guess you don’t, and for that, I can’t trust you. “ With that, he flew off, leaving me in my room, alone and in complete shock.

    I could feel my heart being ripped in half. I couldn’t believe that Jack, the man I loved the most, would say such mean things. Granted, I couldn’t tell him the truth, but it was only to protect him. And because of that, now he says that he can’t trust me entirely. What does he mean by that? Does this mean that we’re broken up? On the outside, I looked, somewhat unaffected by his words, but on the inside, sadness and anger were duking it out in my head while I try to process what had just happened. Eventually, anger got the best in me and I let out a loud, ear-pinching scream, luckily no one was around to hear. As I scream, dark sand began to form throughout my room until it was completely devoured by it. Once letting out the last of my anger, I look around my, now, darkened room, and instead of being afraid of my powers like I usually am, I merely shrug it off. With that, I jump onto my bed and fall into a deep sleep, hoping that a simple dream could help ease my pain.

~Time Skip~

                Now, at seven o’clock in the morning, my eyes slowly open as the morning sun beams onto my face. The second I fully open my eyes, I feel absolutely horrible once the memories as last night’s events replay itself in my mind. I get up from my bed, which was a struggle to say the least, and look around the room, expecting to find my room in its dark state only to find that it was all gone. I smile, relieved that I have one less thing to worry, and drag myself into my large closet to change into some decent clothes. After about five (long) minutes, I manage to change into a forest green oversized sweater, dark grey leggings, and (matching) green converse. I comb out my hair and run out of my room, ignoring to do anything else besides brushing my teeth and putting on deodorant (I mean, I wouldn’t want to punish everyone else for my depressed state). I make my way down the flight of stairs and immediately see Erika in the living room watching ‘My Little Pony’, which happens to be her favorite show.

                “Hey squirt,” I say as I take my seat on the couch, next to her.

                “Hey Luna,” she says, monotony, without bothering to glance at my direction.

                I shift from my lazy position and scoot closer to her. “What’s wrong?”

                She sighs, “Did the boogeyman visit you last night; because, he visited me.”

                “What?! Did he do anything; did he hurt you, scare you?!”

                “Nothing but the usual nightmares, but he told me something was going to happen to you soon.”

                “Did it sound like he was threatening us?”

                “No. He sounded worried. I’m not sure what it was about but please be careful Luna.”

                “I always am.” I kiss her on her forehead. I hoist myself from the couch and head towards the kitchen. I grab a pop-tart from one of the cabinets, and after I do so, I hear a honk outside my house, signaling that Elsa was already waiting. I run out of the house, making sure to say goodbye to my little sister, and enter the car.

                After entering the car, I realize that it was missing a hyperactive spirit. “Hey, Elsa. Where’s Anna?”

                “She got a ride with Kristoff,” she says, and with that, she drives off. I buckle myself and lean back against the seat, taking in a huge breath. “What happened with you and Jack? When he got back, he was so angry and he didn’t bother talking to anyone of us.”

                I sigh, “I didn’t tell him the truth and he lost it. He told me he can’t even trust me anymore, so I’m guessing, for now, we’re taking a break.”

                “I’m so sorry Luna. I know how much you like him.”

                “It’s fine don’t worry about it. This will all blow over soon… hopefully.”

    After a few minutes silent driving, we make it to school. I enter the building, with Elsa and me parting along the way. I walk over to my locker and grab the books I need for my class until I notice Merida, who happen to be my locker neighbor, standing around. I glance over at her, hoping to strike a conversation with her, but quickly notice she was gazing off somewhere else. I follow her gaze and knew what she was sadly looking at. In the distance, Hiccup and Astrid were being their usual happy couple with Hiccup flirting with Astrid, who was leaning against her locker, and she would laugh at him doing so. The whole episode ended when Hiccup kisses her and Merida abruptly turns around. I look back at her with sympathy as she was on the verge of tears. I put and arm around her shoulder to give her a side hug. “Merida, I know it hurts for you to see that.”

                “Why couldn’t that be me with him,” she says as tears began to fall down her cheek. “He’s never notice how much I’ve been there for him and he ends up with her.” The bell rang, which signaled that class had begun, but neither Merida nor I move from where we stood.

                I truly felt sorry for Merida. Most people knew her as being the toughest kid in school; the one who never let anyone get her down and could hold her own if anyone dared to mess with her. But, I knew who she really was. Obviously, she’s still human and still has feelings. For as long as I could remember, Merida has always had a crush on Hiccup. They’ve been best friends ever since they were young, but Merida was like a love-sick puppy when she was around him. Clearly, most people would never believe that could be Merida, but I know that past her strong demeanor she has a big heart.

                I sigh, “He’s an idiot. He doesn’t know how much his own best friend has done for him, and you did all that for him just to notice you. Then, he ends up with that weak blonde just because she was popular and, somehow, ‘more athletic’. He clearly doesn’t know about your legendary soccer skills.”

                She ends up laughing at my response, though it didn’t stop the tears from falling. “Astrid never even gave him a chance before he decided to change.”

                “Now, we got ‘Neville Longbottomed’.”

                She smiles.

                “Merida don’t worry. I know you’ll eventually find your happy ending whether it’s with Hiccup or not. You just need to keep your head up and stay as confident as you always were. Eventually, he’ll notice what he’s missing out on.”

                “My dad even tried to set me up with other guys, but I knew I couldn’t love them as much as I love Hiccup.” She slams her locker shut and slides down to the floor as she puts her knees up to her chest. Eventually, I sit down next to her and join her on the cold, hard floor.

                “You’ll be alright. I know sooner or later you’ll be happy… We can stay here and skip class if you like.”

                “Thanks Luna. You’re a good friend.” I give her a warm smile as she does the same. “Anyways, what’s going on with you and Jack?”

                I sigh. I knew that I wasn’t going to get away from this conversation with anyone. “I guess we’re taking a break. We kind of had a huge argument yesterday.”

                “He didn’t come to school today. He must have stayed in North’s Workshop. You should go talk to him afterschool and make things up. I’d hate to see you two break up.”

                “I suppose I can try to patch things up. I really need to fix things” She smiles. With that, we stay in our spots as the class period drags on.
