The Cursed Moon

Episode 18: Something Special

The back yard of the Hellen family home is now really crowded with vampires. Especially those who practice using their abilities while showing it off to others.

Violet, a long-haired Belgian female vampire tied up with brown hair, showed her ability to control plants around her.

Lia stared at the amazed vampire vampire who was now showing off their respective abilities. Making the five vampires next to him stare in annoyance.

Not to be outdone, the five vampires showed their abilities, cheers from other vampires were heard.

" Why is it a show of this ability? " the muttered Lia who shook her head saw the five friends flaunting their abilities.

" Calm down, don't be so tense, Lia. "said Carl who was suddenly behind Lia. Carl smiled as he shook his head when he saw his five children showing off in front of another vampire.

" Yes Carl, thanks for this too. I didn't expect them all, your friends would help me. "lia murmured softly, Carl laughed softly. Her hand stroked Lia's hair softly.

Later that night, the vampires still gather in the backyard, including the Hellen family except for Lia who chooses to stay indoors with Clara and the other female vampires.

Strange sounds rang out from the inner forest, making the vampires prepare to attack.

Wave suddenly walked over to the Hellen family while raising both of his hands.

" He's a hunter!! He's hunter!! " excited one of the vampires, making the other vampires almost attack him. Luckily, Carl mediates.

" Everyone, please calm down... He's Wave Aiden. A hunter. I asked her for help, as well as the werewolves to help us. "

Everything seems a bit forced to accept Wave and the werewolves. Wave and the werewolves sit next to the Hellen family while the vampires resume their activities.

" So, can someone explain to me what the Cursed Moon is about? " Wave started the conversation, leaning his body against the chair he was sitting in while listening to Carl explain.

" You're saying, when the Cursed Moon happens, the vampires will become stronger, more agile, faster, and more violent right? Why is the Enchantress after Lia? I mean, surely when the Cursed Moon happens it will harm humans, but why Lia? No, another human? "

" Because he's special, Aiden, "said Samuel, a werewolf friend of Wave's who sits next to Wave.

" ha? Special? Lia? What is so special about him that even vampires like Enchantress are targeted? " Wave wondered. Antonio, one of the vampires near him was chuckling softly.

" You're still green... She is special, she has something no other human being has. And that's what got him targeted by the Enchantress." said Antonio, saw Wave in disbelief.

" What is that? " Wave seemed incredulous, even though he wanted to know.

Antonio is seen leaving immediately as Wave awaits his response. Wave stared at the Hellens.

" You know about that? "

" A long time ago, there was a kingdom of vampires. In the kingdom there is the strongest sword in the history of vampires. On the sword is a jewel, the jewel will make anyone who has a sword including the jewel will be powerful and eternal life. " Carl started telling stories, staring at the bonfire near them.

" The sword belonged only to the king who was then in power. Many want to occupy the throne because they are targeting the sword and the jewel. Until one time, the royal family, the royal staff, even civilians attacked the king. "

" The king was dying, and chose to destroy the jewel using his sword. The jewel was successfully destroyed, and of course made all the people who attacked him angry because they were after the jewel. "

" Who has the jewel? " ask Wave when Carl stops the story.

" The king said, the jewel will be random to whom. It could be that the gem is in a vampire, a human, a werewolf, or a hunter. But for sure, every night the kingdom was destroyed or what is often known as the Cursed Moon, the jewel will disappear if the owner is dead, and it will appear in a person if the person meets the previous owner of the gem at the last moment or when the previous owner is still alive. "

" Don't tell me you think the jewel is on Lia? There's no way the jewel was on him... " I don't know why, Wave was surprised instead of playing. How could the jewel be on Lia?

" It's on him, Wave. That's why the Enchantress is after Lia. He's after his jewels. " Carl looked at Wave who seemed to be in disbelief at all.

" But, the Enchantress will attack us at the time of the Cursed Moon, right? The jewel will move to someone who met the previous owner. Then what good are we to fight if the jewel will eventually fall in the hands of the Enchantress? " Wave stared at all the vampires and werewolves around him.

" Until the previous owner dies" said Carl, Wave breathed his rough.

" Well, I'll do my best for my friend. "

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

" Carl, my feeling is that Cursed Moon is going to happen soon" said Lance, Carl just kept quiet as he walked into the backyard.

" As planned as we discussed yesterday afternoon, okay? " Carl exclaimed, all of them immediately dispersed, including Lia.

Lia, who is now in Justin's arms, now holds the trees around her. Spreading the smell of Lia everywhere.

Lance and Joshua also attached Lia's belongings, such as sweaters, jackets, and such to the trees. Same with Joey and Chris.

While Wave and the werewolves go around, securing the surrounding area in case there is a pretty great war around there.

" Aiden, do you believe them? " Jhonatan, the werewolf now paired with Wave, turned his head. Jhonatan hates vampire vampires like them.

" Yeah, how else, Jhon... Without their help, we cannot win either. It's impossible to even win.. " Wave stared blankly at the street in front of him, Jhonatan just grumbled softly.

Suddenly we heard werewolf howls everywhere. Wave, Arion, Justin, Joshua, Lance, Joey, Chris, Lia, and the vampires including Carl instantly turned their heads toward the sound.

" That's Arion's howl!! " Wave suddenly ran towards the sound, but was stopped by Jhonatan.

" You are crazy?!! That's a sign the Enchantress is coming!! You don't want to add more victims, do you, Aiden? " Jhonatan exclaims while pulling the collar of the Wave shirt.

" Arion is in danger, Jhon!! You don't want to add casualties either, do you?! "

" I don't want you to get hurt, Aiden... Moreover, let Jason and the others approach and help Arion.. "

" Let others help him?! You know Arion's position is closer to ours, others will think we're going to save Arion!! "

Finally, they decided to approach Arion. Jhonatan was forced to follow the will of Wave. So shocked when they saw Arion.

" Arion!! "
