Blue Moon, Chapter one: Departure

As the girl left at midnight, running out the door, she the thought of not seeing her again scared her. “Why does it even matter, why can’t I just let go?” Hitomi thought, as she ran towards the station. As she came closer, her speed slowed down to a fast walk, while wiping her tears away with her hands. Rowan shouldn’t see that she was crying. He was way too sensitive, and he had helped her so much that the least thing she could do was to be happy, Hitomi thought, grateful for everyone who had helped her. And besides, there wasn’t any reason to cry. That house was hell, her mother the devil, her own life nonexistent. As Hitomi walked towards it, she quickly searched the station for people. Some drunk kids or homeless man, but nobody was in sight. Only one look at the station, and it was clear to see that it hadn’t been used in many years. Hitomi couldn’t even remember a time, where trains passed by the little city. City, hah, it was a disgrace to call it that. 400 people, a school a few houses, this was no city. She couldn’t see Rowan anywhere. Hopefully, he wasn’t lost in the dark again. Maybe he had a panic attack again? Hitomi sat down, Rowan told her not to worry about him, but she couldn’t. She leaned up the wall of the only perron and looked up to the sky. “Blimey, you can actually see the stars!”, Hitomi gasped, eyes widened. As a villager from Suncloud, it was a miracle. You see, it was quite funny the village was called Suncloud, as the name simply describes the weird phenomenon, that the sun only shines 1 hour per day, every day, all year. As for the rest of the time, a deep mist was hanging over the city. You could barely see anything through the fog. But tonight, the deep shiny moon was full, and the sky was full of stars. She looked down again on her feet covered in mud, but quickly looked back up. As her body raised itself, trying to drag her closer to the sky, she realized, the moon wasn’t just full, the stars not just brightly shining. Tonight, it was a blue moon.

“Look out” a voice shouted. Hitomi jumped away in panic. If she hadn’t, she would now be face first into the asphalt, unconscious and not alive. “Rowan, you f**king idiot.” Hitomi said in a sharp voice, but with a smirk on her face. She couldn’t be mad at Rowan. The incredibly strong Australian accent, she hadn’t gotten used to yet, but still adored deeply answered, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you, I thought you heard me coming. Are you okay?” “I’m fine, I’m fine, just stuck in my thoughts again,” Hitomi said, as she took the helmet offered by Rowan. Embarrassingly enough she was too short to climb the motorcycle by herself, she blushed yet Rowan didn’t even try to mock her with it as usual. Was he tired? He took her by the waist, the feeling of his hands unfamiliar and light, as was she of porcelain and so very fragile. Maybe she was, maybe she was a fragile shelter, but her heart hard as stone. As his hands let go on the backseat of his dad’s motorbike, she realized that all her fear had disappeared in that moment, but now as he weren’t close, her worry roared in her head. Wanting them to vanish for as long as possible, she closed her arms around Rowans back, closing her eyes, as they drove into the night.

“Did he hear you take off?” Hitomi asked, referring to his dad, shivering as the breeze was freezing, even though she was already wearing Rowans big parka coat. “I don’t think so” Rowan sighed as he quickly looked over his shoulder on Hitomis face. As he saw her eyes, he chuckled, “don’t think too much of it, he didn’t hear me, ergo your mom won’t find out till morning comes, and we’re far away from that hell by then.” Even with the good intentions of Rowans assuring and the feeling of warmth from the hug, Hitomi couldn’t help but worry again. She knew that her mom was already on her way to get her, and that though scared her. Only she knew the torturous matters of the red queen. Only she had been victim to it for years. But that was when she couldn’t kill the red queen. Now she was gone from her grip. And now, she realized, she was in far more danger. This was a mistake, now she was hunted. Now she was as good as dead.
