Chapter 2 - Storm

CHAPTER 2:

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The ringing of the mobile phone alarm woke Luna in her sleep, she got up and turn it off. As she stretched her arms she noticed she was still on the bench that she was sitting that night. She looked around for that beautiful woman but she's the only one there and the bottle of beer that she threw that night was still on the side of the bench, she wondered if that was real and that she wasn't hallucinating but she feels a sharp pain in her head.

"argh! Hangover! I need to go home and rest." She picks her phone and runs downhill to get her bike.

When she got to her apartment, she then slumps into the bed and drifts into sleep.

------

Ring! Ring! RING! (phone call ring)

Luna reached for the phone, answers the call and immediately regret why she didn't look at the caller's name first.

"LUNA CHARLOTTE CROSS! WHERE ARE YOU? YOUR NOT IN CLASS AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN CONTACT ME!" Yanzi screamed in the phone.

"argh! Yanzi can you just calm down and not scream, are you trying to injure my ears?" Luna said. "how could I calm down when you left me behind last night with those scumbags and make me pay for your alcohol. You better pay me back!" Yanzi angrily said.

"haha! Sure! Just collect it on my account." Luna said.

"tsk! You're lucky someone left you a large sum of money even though you're an orphan. You're like a modern empress, living a luxurious life. She must be crazy!" Yanzi said.

"Just shut up! Anyway, come to my apartment." Luna said.

"no need, I'm already at the door," Yanzi said as she got in and look at luna sitting on the sofa.

"nice! Make me dinner!" Luna orders. Yanzi was speechless, "what! You just want me to make dinner, I thought you're going to pay for the money. I demand extra pay for this, I tell you!" Yanzi complained but still do the job.

Lee Yanzi, the best friend of luna is considered to be her brother and the person that luna fully trusts with her life no matter what. Yanzi is very dependable and loves to cook so Luna would often order him to cook. They were both orphans and luna somehow inherited a large sum of money from an unknown person, she would just get the money from her bank account and there seems to be no particular amount of how much she has. they have tried to investigate but there's nothing.

"Yanzi, do you know someone with silver hair other than me?" luna asks.

"hahaha! Do you think that there would be someone with peculiar hair like yours? You're like an old lady with silver hair, just accept that." Yanzi laughed.

Luna throws a pen on him, "hey watch it! I'm still not done with it, your highness!" Yanzi said avoiding the pen while holding the spatula.

--- while they were eating dinner, luna was deep in thought of what happened that night, the lady that she saw looks familiar like she knows her for a long time and seems to make her heart hurt just by remembering her face.

Yanzi noticed luna wasn't listening to her talking and flicked Luna's forehead. "you should eat or I'm gonna finish it all."

They continue eating and Yanzi turned on the TV, the reporter was talking about an astronomical phenomenon that is going to happen at midnight.

"Leonid meteor storm occurs when Earth passes through the orbit of comet Tempel-Tuttle. This comet orbits around the Sun every 33 years. The skywatchers can expect 1000 meteors per hour during Leonid meteor storm. It lasts for more than 15 minutes. This event first discovered in 1833. It is believed to be comet Tempel-Tuttle can produce 100000 meteors per hour." Said the reporter.

"Woah! Luna, we should see this, this could be very good for my Instagram." Yanzi excitedly said.

"yeah! Yeah!"

--- midnight

"come on hurry up! ready the camera. Any minute now the meteor would be seen." Yanzi excitedly said while running to the balcony.

'I should have just gone to sleep than be with this idiot' luna complained as she follows Yanzi to the balcony with the camera.

"look! Its starting"

Luna looks up at the meteor and seems to enjoy the beauty of it. But then a sudden throb in her head made her groan and flashes of memories starts to invade her head.

She was sitting on a throne, everyone is looking at her and greeting her then suddenly the scene changed into a bloody massacre, bodies everywhere. She was looking at herself in the mirror, covered in blood, and holding a sword showing an evil grin.

Holding her head, luna struggles with the ache and the continuous flashes of memories unknown to her.

"luna! Luna! Lun--" she heard someone calling her but the pain gradually consumes her and she lost consciousness.
