Chapter 25 - Chapter 11: A Brother's Plea (Leo, Part Two)

I closed my eyes putting my two fingers onto my temples trying to put the piece together what happended. She placed her hand onto the orb, the orb called us impures. What could that possibly mean? Could Luna be ok? She didn't seem like she was going to make it. "What are you doing?" Henry asked. "Shut up." I replied. "Woah there didn't mean to make you mad buddy." He patted my back but before his hand touched my back, I grabbed his arm. "Don't touch me." I pushed his arm away. My anger rised, I wanted to attack him but that's when I realized, my powers were out of wack. I tried to transform into a cheeta but my powers weren't working the only thing that would transform was my hand.

"That's normal although im surprised you can even get your hand to change, what bloodline are you from?" he asked admiring my hand. "None of your business, take a hint guy." He layed back on his bed. "You know, you don't gotta be so mean!" Henry said. I stood up. "And you don't have to be so annoying yet here we are!" I threw my arms up. "Oh." I fell back down onto the bed coughing. "There are runes all around these walls that make you weak but it seems to be affecting you more than it does me or anyone i've ever seen before. Seriously, what bloodline are you from?" Henry asked again. I could barely speak I was so weak but what was the worst that could happen by telling him my bloodline. "Moonlight." I replied. His eyes widened. "No, you're a Moonlight!?" He started saying something after that but I could barely hear what he said before I started to fall to the floor and with a thump, I passed out again.

I was holding hands with somebody I didn't exactly know who but I was happy. It was winter and snowing outside and we decided to go play in it. The woman I was holding hands with ran off. "Leo look!" She turned around pointing at a snowman that she had created and it was Luna standing there looking excited. "Wow Luna!" I said. "I love your snowman!" She jumped up and down like she was 10 years old again. "You should create one too." She said joyfully. "No I couldn't" I said waving my hands. "Please! Just one." Luna said. I rolled my eyes jokingly. "Fineeee i'll make one!" She clapped jumping up and down. "Yay thank you brother." I sat down on my feet and started to create the body. I rolled the snow into a big ball and placed it down.

Next, I created the head. I rolled the snow into a smaller ball for the head and I placed it right on top of the body. Next, I put a carrot into the face creating a nose, two little pebbles for the eyes, and 5 for the smile. Lastly, I found two sticks placing the sticks onto the snowmans sides creating arms. I then made Luna and my snowman hold hands. I stood up, dusted off my hands, and put them onto my hips. "Done, now our snowmans will be together always just like us!" I said. She squealed giving me a big hug. "I love you Leo!" 

Then Luna vanished. "Luna?" I asked. "I love you Leo" echoed all around me. "She loved you how could you hurt her?" Someone said as the words I love you Leo echoed all around me. "It wasn't my fault Mimic made me. He put false memories into my head!" I replied looking around me. The snow started to vanish, it became darker and darker. The I love you Leo became darker as well, the voice becoming creepy and deeper.

"Do you see what happens to people that love you?" Luna appeared in front of me happy smiling and waving. "They DIE." Somebody from behind sliced her throat and she fell to the floor immediately dying. "LUNA NO!" I yelled running to her and holding her dead body into my arms. "This is her fate." The person said then voices echoed it. "All, because, of you." Someone said. "NO YOU JUST MURDERED HER!" I cried out rocking Luna's dead body in my hands. "No, you did." A mirror appeared in front of me. It was me but I had blood all over my face, I was smiling holding a knife. "No, that's not me, no I would never!" I said. "But you did." I looked up, screamed, punched the mirror and then woke up shaken. 

"Oh great you're up again how fantastic." Henry said. I was laying on the floor. "Oh, ow." I touched my arm. "Yea you took a big fall." Henry said again. "Why were you so surprised I was a Moonlight?" I asked still lying on the floor. "Because, their all dead." Henry said. "Well clearly not all." I started to stand up my hand was still stuck as a cheeta I couldn't get it to change back. Then, I heard a clicking noise and a guard walked inside. "Leo Moonlight, Solara is requesting your presence." He completely ignored the fact that I was on the floor. "Sir, he can't walk." Henry said. "Then get him up." The man said. Henry laughed. "I'm not doing it what do you take me for a servant? I'm a prisoner just like him you do it." He rolled his eyes. "Get up Leo." He kicked me. I tried my hardest to stand up but fell back down again. He leaned down and grabbed my arms helping me stand up. "Let's go." He started to drag me. I turned back to see Henry shrugging and going back to whatever he was doing. I was too tried to care. As I was walking, I started to cough and I fell down again.

He looked at me unamused. "We're here anyway you don't need to be dramatic." He said. "Well sorry for being 'dramatic'" I whispered. "Get him into the chair." A woman said. The man came down to try and pick me up but I was resisting. "Stop resisting." She said and everything went black. Suddenly, I was in the chair. I looked around at the chair. My hands were tied to the arm rest of the chair, my waist was tied to the back, and there were three people standing in front of me. "What did you do to me?" I asked weakly.

"It does not matter." One of the woman said. "You know who I am yes?" She asked and I did. I regonized her, I was fighting her minions as a Lion. "Solara?" I asked. "Do you need anything else Ms. Solara?" The other woman asked. "No you may go now Melody." She gave Solara a nod walking away. "What do you want from me?" I asked. I was so weak I could barely support my own head. "Why am I so weak?" I groaned. She leaned down next to me. "All I want from you is one little thing. You and Luna's deaths." I was trying to grab her but I was too weak, I could barely move. She yanked my hand. "Why is your paw out? I guess you'll have to live with it for now." She put my arm down with caused me to flop to one side. "Please, do whatever you want with me but let Luna go." I begged. "Let her go? LET HER-" She paused.

"No, Luna is too powerful for her own good in time you will come to see that. What I am doing is for you own good. You two are impure disgraces. You two bring horror to the rest of us this is what's meant to happen, i'm sorry Leo." I snarked. "All this for power? Pathetic Solara, really pathetic." I said. "Is that what he told you? I wanted you dead for power!? Don't believe Orion honey he doesn't even know what he's talking about. Orion lost grip of reality a long time ago. I'm sorry it had to be this way you and your sister seem like nice kids truly but in order for us to live you two must die." She started to walk out. "Wait! Just let Luna live. Please, let her live." And with that, a guard came and brought me into my room and I was once again thrown into a jail cell unable to escape or warn Luna of what Solara wants or what she was planning to do. I was completely, and utterly, helpless.
