Chapter 11 - My First Crush

(Author note: Cassie was the same age as Aria)

Cassie flashback (Pass life he was 12)

Its been 2 months since Aria's death, 2 months without her, 2 months of feeling empty. I met Aria when I was 7, she was different. I know, I know it sounds like so stupid romance when, she's different from every other girl. But, in reality she was different, she was extremely beautiful, however, due to her financial circumstances, it was sad. Things did get better when she got a foster family. I had a huge crush on her but I never confessed. When I worked up the nerve to finally confess, she was murdered on her way home. She was gonna get away from this all, she was getting adopted into a nice home, but she was taken away. Every night I would cry to the moon hoping to see her again, I wished and I wished. I went to sleep that night and woke up in this world. It was hard at first, I was born into streets. It was the first time I felt the moon on my skin, it made me feel alive being in its presents. I adapted quickly to my new life, it wasn't much different from my old one. I lost hope in life I was ready for it to end, I missed her, I missed Aria, she was like a ray of light. The sun in the sky, her smile, her golden like brown eyes. Her hair always done up in a bun. That day that day I saw her was the day I knew my wish came true.

"Look at the little orphan", "Yeah where's your parents", "Look his clothes have holes in them", "ha, ha, your eyes are strange". They say this everyday I wait preparing for the hits, before I heard a soft voice almost like honey, "You guys are pathetic. Get a life", she said. It couldn't be its like the tables have switched. "Cassie?", she said she looked confused. I looked at her, she shun like the sun. Her amazing golden hair up in two buns, her eyes pierced my soul, she was small the size of a three year old but she was fiery. She was on the shoulders of a giant who she bared a slightly looked like. She was placed on the floor and helped me up from the floor. The moment she touched me I felt the energy of the moon, I felt awake. I knew she was Aria. She was speaking to me but I heard no words, instead I focused on her eyes, those eyes. She handed me check with a number written on it, I refused. "... third Princess of Pyro...", I know where she's from now, I still don't know her name. If she is the Princess, no one will know her name, matter of fact I only knew there was one Princess, and a Prince. It seems that they've kept her existence secret for some reason. " ... school", hmmm so she'll go to school.

"I'll see you soon Aria. At school" I said, she jumped and looked startled that I called her my that name. I knew it, she's Aria. I walked off and heard her call for me. I started walking back home, one of the kids chased after me.

"Lucas, Lucas", I keep forgetting that this is my new name.

"What?", I responded.

"That girl, I heard everyone saying she has extremely strong spiritual powers and energy. Some are even saying she's a reincarnated spirit, they are sooo rare. But if she's the reincarnation of the Sun's child, then her soulmate must have been reborn"

"Her soulmate", I said gritting my teeth.

"Yeah, the child of the Moon. They're destined to be together".

"How do you know if you have spiritual power and energy"

"Well, if you do. You're adopted into a noble family and protected. You can get tested at the church".

-

"Wow. It seems you contain spiritual power and energy of the moon. We'll have you adopted into a noble family, where your identity will be kept secret until you turn 16. You will go to the Ravenwood school. It's in the Pyro empire, I believe the royal family children attends there"

"What age do I go?"

"The age of 11", I have to wait 5 years before I can see her again. I'll wait for you Aria I promise. "Ahhh, I see. It says here that you come from the Moon spirit bloodline, you are the reincarnation of the Sea, the Child of the Moon. You could even get protected by a royal family, instead of nobility. You could be sent to the Luna empire, they protect the Moon spirit users-"

"NO, um I want to stay here, in the Pyro empire, I'll take a noble families protection. Just don't send me away from the Pyro empire, please"
