The Cursed Moon

Episode 17: Cursed Moon

" I'm worried about Lia. I'm also worried that Cursed Moon will happen again... "

" Wait, Carl.. What is Cursed Moon? And, what do you mean it's gonna happen again? " Justin cried. As long as they lived, they never knew anything about the Cursed Moon. Carl, you know something.

" Cursed Moon, is a special event that occurs once every 1000 years. On the night that the Cursed Moon occurs, the vampires will become stronger, more agile, faster, and more ferocious. "

" You say 1,000 years, right? And you said it would happen again, when did it happen, Carl? " Justin said, Carl just stared briefly at Lance. It was as if it was a sign for Lance to tell.

" The next few months, do not know when exactly." said Lance slowly, Carl said again.

" It could be faster, or slower. We don't know. What was clear was that if the Cursed Moon happened, it would be extremely dangerous for Lia. Worst of all, the Enchantress will come to us and kill Lia. "

The next day, the,

" So, where are we going? " ask Lia while holding hands with Justin.

" Basball, our baseball event failed, didn't it? This time there was no interference from Ace and the others should have been " Justin said as he hummed softly. Walking with Lia towards the grassy expanse in the middle of the forest where they played baseball.

" Lia! " Excited Clara while patting Lia on the shoulder. He smiled at Lia.

" You, don't come play? " Task Lia as Justin and the others prepare to play. Clara shook her head slowly and then cheered on Carl.

" You know, Carl was great at baseball... They all learned from her "whispered Clara softly, then cheered again on Carl.

Carl, Justin, Joshua, Lance and Chris are seen marching. Joey stood before them with a baseball in his hand.

Carl, who was in the front row, got ready with his baseball bat and hit the ball when Joey threw it.

Carl disappears and just appears across the street. It's really very fast...

Suddenly the weather turned dark. A cold wind blew, making the game stop again.

" What's going on, Carl?! " Joey stared around, wary of anything that might happen.

" Ouch! " Lia suddenly sat down limp while holding her head.

" Lia!! Lia, are you okay?! " Lance approaches Lia while covering Lia, worried that another vampire is coming.

The wind is getting stronger, almost making a hurricane. Fortunately, the incident suddenly stopped. The weather was clear, as if nothing had happened.

Carl and the others approached Lia, Lia looking at Carl while adjusting her roaring breath.

" Carl.. You know something about Cursed Moon? "

Everyone was surprised. How does Lia know about the Cursed Moon? Everyone was silent, confused to answer.

" Why are you asking about that, Lia? " Joshua made a sound, he thought it better to ask like that than to answer about Cursed Moon.

Everyone fell silent, Carl just patted Lia's shoulder gently. It seems that the girl was surprised by the voice, especially the words that the voice made.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

" Are you okay, Lia? " Joshua, Lance, Justin, Joey and Chris are in their room sitting on Lia's bed.

" Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry, because of me, you guys are here all the time.. " Lia chuckled softly considering that the five men preferred to stay in their room, accompanying Lia rather than outside with Carl.

" Kids.. Can you come in here for a second? " said Carl from their telepathy. Justin and the others finally came out to Carl.

" What's up, Carl? "

" Haha... I think the Cursed Moon will happen soon. I don't know when exactly. And at that time, the Enchantress will come here. Just like Lia said.. " Carl took a deep breath before continuing his words.

" The Enchantress will harm Lia, the worse it may be to kill. So, I have a plan when Cursed Moon, I will invite my friends around the world to protect Lia. Maybe you can invite your werewolf friends over to protect Lia too. "

" Wait, Carl... Your friends are pure vampires.. They can't possibly want to protect Lia, right? Is that possible? " Justin looked at Carl deeply.

Justin recalled, when the five of them met with Carl's friends. They are really arrogant, cruel, and will only protect their fellow men. It's a little impossible they'll protect Lia, isn't it?

" I didn't want to do this at first, Justin.. But it's urgent. I will try to persuade them to protect Lia. "

" What if it doesn't work? " Lance muttered softly, Carl just exhaled softly and then spoke again.

" I'll make it work... "

A few weeks later, as Carl said a few weeks ago, Justin and his four brothers said what happened and invited Wave and the werewolves to help them.

And some vampires who were Carl's friends were already in that big white house.

" Kids, this is my friend Charles from England" said Carl introducing one of his vampire friends who was already in the house.

" Carl, is he the man you were telling me about? Wow you are really beautiful!! " Charles, a vampire with light blue eyes with black hair covering his forehead was smiling.

Within days, Carl's vampire friends from all over the world had all come. Gather in that white house.

" Okay, you all know why I invited you here. Let me be clear again, Cursed Moon will happen in the near future" Carl said loudly in front of his vampire friends. The rest of the Hellen family, including Lia, stood beside Carl.

" Enchantress, will kill us all in the near future. Their main goal, is to kill him, Verolia Charlotte. " Carl continued with a smile looking at Lia.

" I'm not forcing you to protect her, it's up to you. But I'll protect her... So, anyone who wants to come with me, please come with me to the backyard. "said Carl, Justin and the others immediately took Lia to the backyard.

Unexpectedly, everyone was standing in the backyard. Prepare to take the risk of them protecting the girl named Lia.

" I appreciate you guys, so... I think we better warm up first. "
