Lonely Night (Moon, Night, and Star)

"What do you want, La Luna?"
"Bite me!"
What?
Hey, didn't she hear wrong? If Cherie really bit her, it would be the same as killing her own friend. La Luna, she is a human. Even though he is in the outer region of Marvierra, and the rule against killing humans didn't apply to Panora. However, still she has promised himself that she is not a predator who killed his own friend.
“You know me so well from the start, La Luna. I am a Ghoul. I'm a monster."
Cherie takes her bag, she would have left that place if La Luna kept pushing her with all the bullshit she is giving.
“Hey, wait! Where are you going!"
“If you keep saying such nonsense, I better go and seek help from someone else.”
"Cherry!"
La Luna grabs Cherie's hand. She stops the girl from leaving her place. After all, she would not actually be killed by Cherie.
“I have something to prove to you, Cherie.”
La Luna takes the dagger in Cherie's pocket and then she cut her hand. Cherie immediately immediately stopped it.
"Are you crazy!!!"
"No! You don't stop it! I have something to prove, Cherie. Inside this body, there is something… I don't know what it is. It's blue and always protects me."
Cheri is silent. He was confused by La Luna's explanation. What does it mean?
"Wait and see."
Cherie stops to stop La Luna who is about to cut her own hand. La Luna looks at Cherie with a doubtful look, but she has to do it to prove something. This has always been a question for him.
srash
Prang!
Just as she is about to cut off her hand, a blue light shot out of her body. The light is so bright it made Cherie close her eyes. Cherie's dagger is thrown against the wall by the blue light.
“What… What is that light?”
Cherie is at a loss for words at the sight of that blue light. Does not this look like a fantasy story? When a main character has super powers in his body that can protect many people.
"Since when did you realize this, La Luna?"
“I don't know… My mother is the one who first realized this when I is a child, I had drifted in the river. A crocodile is about to eat me, but this blue light appeared and made the crocodile just walk away. My mother just keep quiet and does not dare to ask anyone about this because she is afraid that people would mistake me for a witch. You must have known that in this kingdom there should be no magicians.”
Cheryl nod her head. “I understand how you feel. I mean, I am trying to understand. You must be confused yourself, right?”
“Yeah, that's what I want to show you for. I heard you have a friend who has a good memory of history. Can you ask her if she knows anything about blue light? I… I want to see her, Cherie.”
Cherie is not sure if Rosie would help La Luna. Rosie is very busy with her work in the factory. Moreover, Rosie could have thought that she is just bragging because what happened to La Luna is like a fantasy story.
"Yeah, I'll ask him about it. Don't worry, I will help you, La Luna."
Cherie decides to still help La Luna, it wouldn't hurt if she tried to ask Rosie. After all, she enjoy doing it.
“We'd better get some sleep for the night, Cherie. You must also be tired after a long journey.”
Tonight, she's away from Zack. Perhaps, they has been separated when Cherie is kidnapped by Breta, she is kidnapped on a small island very far from Marvierra. They even has to be separated for more than three months. Of course he missed. A longing that pierced her heart and made it difficult to breathe.
"Zack..."
It's the middle of the night, Cherie wakes up because she has a bad dream. She saw Zack burnt to death because they loved each other. It wass the worst nightmare he had ever had. Previously, she has a bad dream of seeing a crying baby eaten by her own mother who became a zombie. However, this time Zack is the highest candidate, her dream is very bad because there is Zack in her dream.
"Did you hear my longing, Zack?"
Cherie clutches the necklace Zack has given to her. The necklace still hangs around her neck and serves as a reminder and something she holds when she misses Zack.
“Missing might be a sign for me if I love you too deeply, Zack. I could drown at any moment because of this love, but you saved me from that by reciprocating my love. Even though we could both drown because of this dangerous relationship, but you chose to drown with me. I don't know if this is silly or stupid, but I love everything we do. Even if it's dangerous.”
Cherie takes a cigarette from her pocket and lit the addictive nicotine. She always feels calmer and more relaxed when she smokes. She can finish 10 packs in a day. However, she only did it out in the open or alone. She does not smoke when there are small children, pregnant women, the elderly and in confined spaces. She doesn't want to make other people passive smokers, let alone humans.
Oh there is one more thing, he will smoke when with people who also smoke. She will not smoke in front of a non-smoker.
“This lonely night drives me crazy. It's all because of you, Zack."
Cherie exhales and along with the cigarette smoke that flew into the air. She whispered to the smoke.
“Tell Zack that with every breath I take, I miss him. His touch, his fondling, his love and his body.”
Cherie has gone crazy because she loved Zack too much. Oh, indeed at night, the feeling of longing for someone is increasingly felt. The moon, night and stars seem to be a supporting system to add to the longing of someone who is in the fog of love.
"Cherry...?"
Cherie immediately stubbed out her cigarette when Lucy call her name. The woman is wearing a thick jacket and carrying a basket in her hand. Why is she awake?
“Want to go somewhere? It's too early for work."
Cherie is used to working until the early hours of the morning, but for humans, three in the morning is bedtime, right? Oh, she also just realized she's been thinking about Zack all that time. However, she doesn't regret it. In fact, three hours of thinking about Zack is still not enough for Cherie. She is willing to spend her whole life thinking about Zack alone.
“We are country people, three o'clock in the morning is the start of everything for me. I have to go to the forest, there are herbs I must take.”
"I'll go with you," he said.
"Are you not sleepy? Please sleep again."
“I slept very well last night. Let me help you or at least accompany you.”
"Okay thank you. Wear a jacket, it's very cold in the forest."
They went into the forest with two baskets. If Lucy sees a mushroom growing, she would immediately pick it up. She even taught Cherie how to pick up mushrooms. Upon entering the interior of the forest, Cherie feel a very fresh fishy smell. The fishy smell is mixed with the wet soil and grass. Oh, her stomach hurts to smell that fishy smell.
"This... What this smell?"
"Oh, you smells something over there, Cherie?"
Lucy pointed to a cave inside the waterfall. The area there is very cool, even foggy.
“The area is known for its winter all year round. It's cold up there even in the summer."
"Can we go there?"
"No! That is dangerous. That.... There's a monster over there? Cherie! You need to stop your step. we are forbidden to enter the cave. If we go in there, we can't go back. We will die.”
"Monsters?"
Cherie is getting more and more curious, if it aren't for Lucy who forbade it, she would have run there to see clearly what is behind the Cave.
"We'd better get out of here quickly. Although the place look beautiful, it is extremely dangerous inside. Come on, hurry up. We are not allowed to look for food and herbs there.”
"Wait, what kind of monster is actually living in there? They don't kill human over here, right?""
Lucy stop her step, she turns around and said something that surprised Cherie.
"There... There's a pair of Ghouls freeze over there forever. "
"What?!"
"Yeah, that's their punishment for loving each other!"
