"Eclipse, go get your brother, it's dinner time," Fialovy ordered. Eclipse sighed, getting off the comfy sofa and walked upstairs. She stood in front of Shadow's bedroom door, nervous. She sharply inhaled and knocked on the door, receiving no answer.
"S-Shadow...?" She knocked again, more hesitantly.
"... Nanda...?" He replied, slowly, creepily, and emotionless.
"Anoo... Dinner is r-ready..." She stuttered.
(I'm still scared of Shadow. I can't help it! He's so creepy and emotionless!) Eclipse thought. Few seconds passed, and Shadow didn't reply.
"Shadow...?" Eclipse called out, anxious.
"... come in..." He flatly said. Eclipse did as said, slowly entering Shadow's room. It was gloomy inside, and there were no windows.
"It's dark in here..." Eclipse commented, reaching for the light switch.
"DON'T turn on the lights!" Shadow ordered, his tone quickly changed from emotionless, to angry. Eclipse took a step back, surprised by Shadow's response.
"Oh... ok, I w-won't" She faltered.
"W-What are you doing...?" Eclipse tensely asked. Even though it was dark, she saw Shadow acting weird. He was sitting on the floor, his legs crossed, and staring at the mirror. His Piercing blood-red eyes reflected off the mirror, glowing.
"... there's something wrong with me," Shadow said. He sounded a little afraid, Eclipse could smell blood coming from him.
"A-are you bleeding...?!" Eclipse blurted out. Shadow ignored her.
"... I've been poisoned..." He muttered.
"huh?" Eclipse gasped at his statement.
"Sasha... She poisoned me! I can't ignore her, She won't let me!"
"No matter what I do, I can't disobey her! My body won't listen to me," He fretted, twitching every few minutes.
"I don't love her! I DON'T! I can't, I only love one person..." Shadow shrieked. Eclipse started sweating, Shadow's behavior is making her nervous, the metallic scent got stronger. She panicked, turning on the lights to see the nightmarish sight. Shadow was shirtless, with a deep gash on his left arm that wasn't healing, he had other cuts in different places but they were healing fast. He hissed when the lights turned on.
"Sh-Shadow!" Eclipse blurted out, in a cold sweat.
"I told you not to turn the lights on!" Shadow scolded, bitterly.
Eclipse stepped back until she hit the wall.
"I-I'm getting mom!" She Shuddered, attempting to open the door.
"That won't be necessary..." Shadow abruptly grabbed Eclipse, pinning her to the ground.
Her eyes shrunk, the appearance Shadow had was horrifying. His pupils shrunken, he smiled like the joker, showing his sharp protruding fangs. Eclipse wheezed, what happened was so immediate; Shadow had her pinned to the floor before she could blink.
"Shadow..." whispered Eclipse.
"You tell No. One. About this, ne-am inteles?!" Shadow had an eerie-looking knife to his sister's throat. His messy onyx hair adding to his terrifying look.
"I... Inteles..." Eclipse breathed. Shadow got off her, he seemed extremely deranged. Eclipse could see Shadows ribs protruding from his chest, as he got off of her. She felt worried about Shadow, Eclipse never realized how thin Shadow was, considering he always wore his black hoodie with red stripes on the side of the arms.
"What are you waiting for? Toradesu!" Shadow shouted at Eclipse. She quickly hurried out of Shadow's bedroom, shutting the door behind her.
"I don't think Shadow's bipolar..." She panted, roughly.
3:00 AM
Luna is soundly sleeping on her stomach, holding onto her teddy bear. On her windowsill was Ronnie, watching her.
"...Cute..." He whispered to himself. Luna felt like someone was watching her, she slowly opened her eyes, seeing a familiar silhouette.
"Ronnie...?" She called out, sleepy. Luna sat up, turning her lamp on, The dim lights revealed Ronnie.
"...Hey..." He said.
"What the hell are you doing?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Um... I was watching you sleep..." Ronnie admitted. Luna paused for a moment.
"What the hell, dude? That's creepy," She replied.
"And it's 3:13 AM, shouldn't you be sleeping?" Luna added in, rubbing her eyes. Ronnie hopped down from the windowsill, standing by Luna's bed.
"There are times where I stay up at night. mostly on the new moon," he informed.
"Oh... what are you doing here?" Luna asked him. It's not every day a bad boy visits you at 3:00 am and watches you sleep, like some Edward Cullen wannabe.
"Heard you were sick, so I thought I drop by and visit you," Ronnie awkwardly fidgeted.
(At 3:00 AM? whatever, I'm not gonna ask.) Luna thought to herself.
"It's fine, I get anemic all the time," Luna reassured. That made Ronnie more anxious.
He sharply inhales, prepared to tell Luna what he truly is.
"About that... do you remember what happened last Friday night?" He asked instead, his face darkening. Luna closed her eyes for a while, trying to remember what happened.
"Not much, that was scary movie night," She opened her eyes.
"Ja... you and I were talking in the woods, cause the movie was boring," She put her right hand on her chin.
"You told me about how Sasha is a R/Nicegirl... and that's all, everything else is a blur," Luna finished talking, putting her hand down. Ronnie stood still, looking down while scratching his head.
"Look, Luna... about that-"
"I know, you're a vampire," Luna interrupts him.
"huh?" Ronnie stood back a little, surprised.
(How did she figure that out?!) He thought.
"Nyx said I had a vampire bite. You were the only other person with me, so I figured that it was you," She answered his thought. Ronnie was still taken back by Luna's answer.
In Luna's closet:
"Hehehe, I ship it so hard..." Nyx whispered, excitedly, while eating cinnamon pretzel bites.
"S-Sorry about that... I... I couldn't control myself, when you fell and scraped your knee, all I could smell was blood, I didn't mean to bite you at all! " Ronnie apologized.
"It's fine, don't worry about it," Luna replied.
"But I-I bit you, and now you're anemic because of it," Ronnie stuttered. Luna shook her head.
"It's fine, Like I said, I get anemic a lot; It's not a big deal," Luna tried comforting him.
"Besides, I feel better already," She added in.
"You should go back home, I'll see you at school tomar- later today," Luna told him.
Luna is with Shion, just talking then Eclipse comes in, looking like something bad had happened.
"Eclipse, is everything okay?" Shion asked, worried.
"You look tired," Luna commented.
"It's Shadow, I don't think he's Bipolar," Eclipse stated, standing next to Luna.
"That's a strange statement..." Shion replied.
"What makes you think that?" Luna asked. Eclipse inhaled before talking.
"Last night, mom told me to get Shadow because it was dinner time. When I knocked on his door, he sounded... creepy and emotionless, I told him it was time for dinner but he didn't reply. A few minutes later, he tells me to come in," Eclipse explained.
"You shouldn't have done that..." Luna said.
"I know that, but... I was too scared to say no. I walk in and it's pitch black, barely any light, and his room had no windows," She told them.
"Creepy," Both Shion and Luna noted.
"I tried turning on the light switch but he shouted at me to not turn the lights on, it was weird, he went from emotionless to angry within a split second," Eclipse breathed.
(sounds like BPD but it could psychosis or schizophrenia, if he was aware of his behavior then you can scratch off psychosis, cause people with psychosis are usually unaware of their behavior.) Nyx analyzed from Luna's Shadow.
"What happened after that?" Shion asked.
"I smelled blood from him, then he said something creepy. He said Sasha poisoned him, and he can't reject her, but he doesn't love her."
(I Knew it!) Luna thought.
"I turned the lights on and He's covered in cuts, one of them wasn't healing, and he wasn't wearing a shirt, so I could see his ribs sticking out! I panicked and said I was gonna tell mom; Before I could blink, Shadow had me pinned to the floor with a knife to my throat. It was like a nightmare! His pupils were shrunken and he was smiling, madly... He forced me not to tell anyone, I didn't tell mom or dad, but now you guys know. Just promise me that you won't tell anyone..." Eclipse finished her story. Luna and Shion had their pinkies up for a pinkie promised.
"We promised," They said, synchronically.
"I don't know Sasha, maybe the potion didn't work because he broke up with you," Kaydence suggested.
"No, the recipe said that whoever eats the potion will immediately fall in love, no matter what! I'm reading the book right now and it doesn't have anything about the potion failing!" Sasha whined, flipping through the pages of her potion book. At the end of the page, there's a note in small lettering, too small to notice, unless you pay attention.
Note: Potion does not work on demons.
By the corner, Ronnie was eavesdropping on them.
"Hmph, Idiot. Demons are immune to magic, we dated for 3 years and you forgot one tiny detail," He commented.
"What detail?" Daichi asked, appearing behind him.
"That I'm the Vampire/Demon prince, therefore magic won't work on me," Ronnie answered.
"Ciao, what'd I miss?" an Italian guy with caramel brown hair, arrived.
"Dante, how was Italy?" Daichi asked.
"It was nice being there, I'm still full from all that pasta Nonna made," Dante stretched out.
