Chapter 8 - DEC 18TH

:What are you gonna name her?

"I don't know yet. I'm thinking luna or…maybe mika."

:Why those?

"She just looks like them, can't explain."

Nikolai was sitting on a couch, in her living room. Holding the white cat up in his arms.

:Then… luna it is, i said so.

"...fine..now give Luna back and go cook me something like you promised."

She took the cat from Nikolai's arms, walked to the other couch to sit.

Blue led lights were the only source of light in the kitchen while he was cooking her favorite pasta.

:Seriously, when will you fix this? I can't tell if this is lemon powder or pepper!buy a goddamn lightbulb it's not that expensive!

"Complaining as always. Just be grateful I let you sleep here tonight!"

:you're gonna go blind! Besides, I'm a guest. You're supposed to cook for me, not the other way around you little-

"Go on, finish the sentence."

She said while she stood behind him with a cat in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other.

:nothing!nothing! You little angel I meant! You're so pretty!

"Yea i know. Thanks for noticing~"

Vanda then started to chop some tomatoes.

"I'll help a bit, happy now? Stop complaining my head hurts."

:your head hurts because there's no goddamn lights in this house! Are you a vampire? Allergic to any lights? Avoiding the sun wasn't enough?

"Shut up, I'll buy some new ones tomorrow, stop talking about it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The empty dishes were all put in the dishwasher , Nikolai stood in the kitchen, his back against the fridge. A somewhat serious expression on his face.

:vanda..

She got up and faced him.

"Hm?"

:do you really wanna find out about your past?

"...what do you mean?"

:what if..you had to pay a price?

"..?"

"...did you find anything?"

:no …..it's just…this 'princess' or whatever,seems…dangerous.

"You're kidding,right? You don't think I'll die to that bitch , huh?"

:no it's just…if she's connected to you, she's messing with our missions to get your attention, what if it's…a trap?

"..."

:the missing jewels..you said she talked to you directly in thar letter… she's still waiting for you.

"of course its a trap! I won't be stupid. I'll take someone with me shall i ever go."

:I'll have to trust you with that..

They both walked out of the kitchen. Luna was already asleep so they got in the bedroom.

:you didn't find her yet though, right?

"Unfortunately, no."

She braided her hair, brushed her teeth and put on a face mask before laying in bed.

Nikolai was already there, laying on the dark blue sheets and one of her extra pillows she always kept on there.

"Get out."

:what about no~?

She reached under her pillow and grabbed her backup knife.

:...you're so cruel.. But still nope. My back's allergic to the ground.

"You're annoying."

She put her knife back in its place.

Nikolai turned to his side.his back exposed for her eyes now.

"You're gonna let them grow?"

She said more calmly as she started braiding his hair.

:yea, got any problems?

"How dare you have such perfect hair."

jealous?...aw~ stay mad.

She pulled on his hair.

:ow ow ow, I'm sorry. What else am I supposed to do? Cut them and give them to you on your birthday?

"I'd like that but the color doesn't match. Ugh..who allowed you to look like an angel."

The moonlight from the window shined on his hair, highlighting it even more.

:Tell me, are you jealous of my victims?

"How the heck did you get that from my words?"

:don't you wanna be choked by me too?

"Ew, get to sleep, I don't wanna hear anymore."

:You did more than just 'hearing' it already tho~

"Did you get tired of having a tongue?"

:..Goodnight!

He quickly closed his eyes.

"Night night~"
