episode 3

Luke pulled out a chair for me. The king was already sitting down. I sat down on the chair. Luke sat beside me. I sat there quietly and I noticed that Luke was looking at me but then I looked back at him. The king said, “well this is awkward.” “I have to agree with you on that sir,” I said. Luke looked surprised and I was just bored out of my mind. 

    “So, Mr. Demon king,” I said. But then suddenly I regretted saying that and I was questioning myself why I even said that. I felt like I made a fool of myself. “Yes, my dear?” the king said. “Can you please tell us what we are supposed to do?” Me and Luke asked. “Well for starters you two have to train and choose a side,” the king said. 

    Luke looked and seemed concerned. But I wasn’t even paying attention to what they were even talking about. “So which side do you want to choose?” the king said. “Take me through the dark, we don’t need any light, we’ll live on the dark side,” I said. Luke looked at me with the same expression as the king. “Luna, are you sure?” Luke asked. “Look if the angels wanted us really badly then the queen wouldn’t have even mentioned the king in the first place,” I said. 

   The both of them looked concerned. I looked at the ground and stayed quiet. I knew that I shouldn’t have said that. “Luna, are you ok?” Luke asked. I nodded and then that’s when Luke gave me a hug. The king looked at me and I looked back at him. “Luna, please tell me what’s wrong,” Luke said. “Why?” I asked and hugged back. “Because we don’t want you to be sad,” the king said. I looked at them both. “Please Luna,” Luke said while making the puppy eyes or face. 

      “Fine,” I said. Luke smile but he knew that he was cheering me up. The king got out of his seat. “Can we stay here for tonight?” I asked. The king smiled and then nodded motioning yes. “Thank you,” Luke said. “You both are welcome, but if you ever want to come over or stay here you can,” the king said. “Thank you again sir,” I said while smiling with politeness. 

     The king nodded and asked, “would you like me to show you where the rooms are?” Me and Luke said, “yes please.” We said it at the same time which was weird. “Are you two twins or something?” the king asked. Me and Luke looked at each other and then looked at the king. “We don’t look like we are related and as far as we know we aren’t really related,” me and Luke said once again. The king looked really confused. “Maybe we should play a board game or something,” Luke suggested. 

     The king smiled a little bit. “Why don’t we try to get to know each other; we could play twenty questions,” I said. Both of them looked at me with a confused face. “What’s twenty questions?’ the king asked. “You ask each other a question until you run out of questions to ask,” I said. “Let’s play then,” Luke and the king said at the same time.

    All three of us were having so much fun. Soon night came and the only person who was sleepy was Luke. Me and the king weren’t even tired. The king motioned us to follow him. After so many halls we made it to a two bedroom room. I saw a pretty funny expression on Luke’s face. I think the king wasn’t even trying to laugh too. Luke must’ve been really tired. That’s when Luke looked at us both, he could tell we were trying not to laugh.

   Luke walked into the room and I followed him. In the middle of the room there was a ying-yang. Luke was walking to his bed. Luke layed down on his bed and I put a blanket on him. I yawned a little bit, I sat down nearby the window. I was slowly falling asleep and then that’s when I did my face was on part of the window.

     When morning came I was awake but Luke was asleep. I went over to where Luke was. I tapped his shoulder, “it’s morning, time to get up, rise and shine sleepy head.” Luke woke up and yawned. Luke said, “morning Luna.” I smiled showing that I was really happy. The king was knocking on the door. I walked over to the door and opened it. “Good morning Luna, Luke,” the king said. “Good morning,” me and Luke said at the same time. 

   “Breakfast is ready and also I have some spear clothes for you both,” the king said. I replied with a, “thank you.” “You both are welcome,” the king said. Luke gave the king a nice smile and the King smiled back. The king handed me a t-shirt and ripped blue jeans. I grabbed the clothes and went to get changed. I said, "this was a big upgrade from a dress." Luke grabbed his clothes. He had a white t-shirt and blue jeans. I came out of the bathroom and Luke went in to get dressed. The king had a smile on his face. "So why are you happy?" I asked the king. "I'll tell you when Luke gets done getting dressed," the king said. 

  Luke came out of the bathroom. “Can you tell me why you are smiling now?” I asked. The king said, “I have a surprise for you both.” My face expression must’ve changed when I heard surprise. Luke looked confused like normal. The king said, “you have to eat breakfast first and then you’ll see the surprise.” Luke and I nodded in agreement. All three of us started to walk to the dining room. There was a lot of food. 

    Once we got done eating the king said, “ready for your surprise?” Me and Luke nodded. “Ok can the both of you please close your eyes,” the king said. Ma and Luke closed our eyes. The king grabbed the surprise and said, “you can open your eyes now.” Me and Luke opened our eyes. There was a necklace and a bracelet on the table. The king then put a cage on the table. “Go ahead and open it,” the king said. Luke opened it he could tell that I was nervous and scared. When Luke opened it, there was a dog with fur black as night. 

     I looked at the dog and then said, “she’s an adorable puppy.” It was easy to tell that the dog was a female. Me and Luke were smiling. “What’s her name?” Luke asked. The king handed Luke a collar it had the name Darklight on it. “That’s a awesome name,” me and Luke said at the same time. Darklight was barking and wagging her tail. She was really happy. Same with me and Luke, the king said, “ please put your necklace and bracelet on.” He continued to talk, “and be free to explore.” I smiled and put the necklace on. Luke put his bracelet on and the we both said, “ok and thank you.”

  The king smiled and the spoke, “you are welcome my children.” I got up and hugged the king. The king hugged back. Luke must’ve been feeling left out because, he joined the hug. “Is there a place where you can get a perfect view of a sunset and sunrise?” I asked. The king replied with, “yes, but you can’t go there alone.” “Why?” I asked. The king replied with, “because it’s dangerous mainly it’s dangerous because it’s near the most horrible demons in the land.” 

   Luke looked at me and said, “yeah there’s no way that you are gonna go by yourself without any protection.” I sighed and said, “ok but, that doesn’t mean that you can treat me like a little kid.” They both looked at me surprised. “Ok, we won’t treat you like a little kid, but that doesn’t mean we won’t stop treating you like family,” the king said. Luke was nodding in agreement. Darklight was sitting on my lap, she was definitely comfortable. 

   Luke smiled from seeing Darklight so happy.
