Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

” Shit, my phone’s dead! ”

Sherry tried calling Ryan back but her battery was out.

” Who was it? ”

Sarah asked.

” My Boss, Ryan. My battery is dead. ”

” Use my phone, ” Sarah extended the help.

” Thanks but I don’t know his number by heart. It was saved in my cell. Ahh! Let it be. He was probably mad that I had sneaked out without asking for his permission. ”

Sherry turned around like a ballerina, trying to deny something as Sarah patiently watched.

“How was I to seek his permission when he was busy f*cking that stripper in his room.

Was I supposed to have watched them enjoying their moment as I begged for his permission to come out?

What does he expect of me?

What does he think of himself?

Who does he think I am? ”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Sarah didn’t miss the trembling in Sherry’s voice as she voiced her concern.

After knowing Sherry for so many years she understood very well that Sherry didn’t want to admit it but she was bothered by the presence of that stripper at Ryan’s place.

Though it was absurd and baseless.

” Anyways, let’s ignore that mess and sit here for a while. Look at those stars. ”

She pointed up with her index finger.

Sherry and Sarah gazed up at the night sky, captivated by the beautiful constellation that shone above them. It was unlike anything they had ever seen before.

Sherry turned to Sarah and said, “Is it just me or do you find that magical as well? I feel like we’re in a fairy tale.”

Sarah nodded in agreement as she smiled. “It’s incredible indeed. Do you know anything about that constellation?”

Sherry shook her head. “No, but it looks like it has a story to tell.”

As they continued to stare up at the sky, a shooting star streaked across the sky, drawing their attention to a nearby clearing. They made their way over to the clearing and found a small hillock from where they would get a better view.

” It was so sad that it was that the werewolf fell in love with the moon goddess, and in turn, the moon goddess fell in love with the werewolf. They were forever entwined in a dance of love and magic, each one needing the other to survive.”

” Hold on, hold on, one second, I don’t get any of what you are saying. ”

Sherry was mesmerized by the story Sarah was murmuring but she didn’t get the full grasp of it.

Sarah smiled and gestured for them to sit down.

“My back is hurting Sherry. I think I am getting a little crunchy and old. ” Sarah joked as she stretched a little with her bones cracking and realigning themselves. “Legend has it that the werewolf and the moon goddess were once mortal enemies, but one day they fell in love.”

She began, looking at Sherry from the corner of her eye, “They knew that their love was forbidden. But they could not help falling for eachother. ” Sherry listened, very intrigued, “so they decided to create a constellation in the night sky to celebrate their love.”

Sarah decided to wrap the story up and keep it brief.

“That’s the story of that constellation ?”

Sherry asked , confused at its abrupt end, even before it started.

Sarah nodded. “Indeed, it is. The constellation serves as a reminder to all of us that even the most unlikely of love stories can come true.”

Sherry sat in silence at that .

They stared up ahead, taking in the beauty of the story and the magic of the night sky. It was a moment they would never forget, a moment where anything was possible, even love between a werewolf and the moon goddess.

Suddenly Ryan stormed over to where Sherry and Sarah were sitting under the stars, from practically nowhere. He was breathing heavily and his face was red with anger.

“What the hell, Sherry? How could you just take off without telling me?”

His voice was thundering through the serenity of the night, tearing through its silence.

Sherry looked up at Ryan with a surprised expression.

“What are you talking about? I just came out to take a breather. Why do I… ”

Ryan did not let her finish before going about yelling once more.

“Don’t play dumb with me. I’ve been looking for you all over the place. I was worried sick about you. How dare you switch off your phone? ”

His voice was so furious, the girl totally missed the concern that was infused.

“I just needed some time to myself, Ryan. I didn’t think it would be a big deal. Besides, you were a little preoccupied with… ”

He cut her off again.

“Not a big deal? You are my property. Remember that. You can’t just take off like that without letting me know. You are my property. ”

He repeated again and again.

Sarah looked on, feeling uncomfortable with the tension between the two of them.

” Umm, Sherry, I will be leaving then. You too go back and get some rest. ” Sarah mumbled as she stood up.

Ryan turned to Sarah, his voice still raised.

“No! She needs to understand that she can’t just do whatever she wants without considering how it affects other people. She doesn’t own this world. She owns nobody. ”

Sherry stood up, her own anger starting to rise.

“Excuse me? You cannot yell at my friend like that. I am the one contracted to you and she. Besides I’m a grown woman, Ryan. I used to be free. I had forgotten that I sold my soul to the devil. I will be more careful henceforth. ”

She turned on her heels and started walking away from the duo.

Ryan leaped at her with his superhuman speed and turned her by her arms so she was facing him.

Ryan stepped closer to Sherry, his face inches from hers.

“Damn you! You do need my permission. You do need to be considerate of the people around you.”

Sherry pushed Ryan away from her, her voice shaking .

“I don’t have to listen to this. I’m done .”

With that, Sherry stormed off, leaving Ryan and Sarah alone under the stars. Ryan looked after her for a moment before turning to Sarah.

He took off after Sherry after that.
