I Am The Luna

A Setup
SEBASTIAN.

I hear the explosion go off, a signal for us too… as much as I thought I’d be alone, it’s wishful thinking. They sent Gaspard with me since he said he wants to get his pregnant woman out of here.

Annalise.

She sure played a good game, but the truth is there were so many more involved in their games than I had originally thought. I was right; she didn’t have the brains to be behind the entire kidnapping crap herself, and the worst part is I know Mom was the biggest instigator.

Gaspard’s hatred for me as we run through the tunnels that lead right into the Kings’ Mansion is obvious.

He hates me as much as I fucking hate him. I wonder how they thought a team made of people who detest one another would ever fucking work.

I slowly let the time bomb I had hidden roll to the ground making sure it made no sound as we continue walking. It’ll go off when he sends the four squads this way.

This mansion was the place Zaia and I called home. A place where we thought we were safe, not knowing that so many people had possibly walked through those halls when she was home alone…

It sends a chill through me and when things are over, if I’m alive, I’m having a full assessment done underground to make sure there are no more secret passageways.

Gaspard steps ahead as he keys in a code. He’s been here before and that irks me. I wonder how many times he just met up with Annalise after I sent Zaia away.

The door clicks open and I’m looking into a room that smells of Mom, her cinnamon tea and her love for roses… it’s a room that I barely saw in the past as it was her place, but it’s been ransacked, they’ve checked the room thoroughly, but they never discovered the secret passage…

Fuck.

The entrance swings shut silently and with the heavy bookshelf in front of it, it probably didn’t even feel hollow… smartly hidden entrance.

Gaspard smirks as he presses something on the watch he’s wearing.

“We better get moving.” He says, looking at me. I nod as we slip into the bedroom, Mom and Dad’s room.

Gaspard raises his gun, getting It ready and I glance at him.

“You are not to kill anyone in this home,” I command as I open the bedroom door.

Where is Dad?

“You care too much for the traitors.” He says. quietly. I ignore him as we silently make our way down the stairs towards the back of the house. Although we are being watched, the to shoot Gaspard is fucking real.
