Luna's Dream

There it was, it repeated again. "Do you really think this is the right way?" mother's voice cracked as she tried to stop her tears. I saw father's eyes fall into sadness for the first time, "We have too, 'they' will guard and raise them, and we will do our part in protecting them" father said as he hugged mother, lovingly. 

He turned towards the door I was peeking at, and walked towards it. I ran towards the garden, maybe I could protect my siblings from harm. 

Father walked towards us, as he roughly pulled Beta's hair. We shouted and shouted for him to release her, my siblings didn't saw but I do, the flood of sympathy was written all over his face, but I was too naive. 

One by one, I saw my siblings being punished for no absolute reason, the worst part was, father simply said "I'm sorry" to me before pushing me inside a living volcano. 

Normal POV

Luna's eyes shot open as she got up, beads of sweat was seen on her forehead, she looked around, only to meet a pair of bored eyes, which was widen by her sudden actions. 

"Are you okay-yoi?" he said as he placed his glasses down and went up towards her, wiping her sweats using his own shirt. 

Luna was heavily breathing as she looked at Marco, he was half-naked and worried eyes dug inside hers. 

"I'm fine, sorry to disturb you.." she muttered as she gently pushed Marco's grasp and lay back, but her eyes won't let her return back to slumber. "Marco.." she whispered his name, as he hummed in response. 

"Is it true that phoenix are immortal?" Marco's fingers stopped at her question as he turned around, meeting with her slightly confused expression. "Maybe they are-yoi" he said and as he returned towards his work. 

He turned around to see a wing bloomed from behind Luna, then another one bloomed. "Luna, does your wings shows up whenever your emotions wasn't in place-yoi" Marco's words wasn't a question nor statement, it was observation. 

"I thought you already mastered the powers, but it seems you're feeling's are the one who controlled it-yoi" Luna looked down, those words were right. He was right. "If you have problems, tell me or Pops-yoi" he looked at her with a smile before turning back towards his work. 

THUD!

He snapped back only to see the flaming wings were gone, and light snores can be heard. He sigh, as he continued on working. He kept reading the same news over and over again, just to make sure he had all the information about bigshot pirates, and wrote it down on his journal, each Commander have one, just to record anything they found worth writing. 

Later

Marco rubbed his forehead as his head looked back to see Luna, kept chanting words like "I'm sorry..f-forgive me.." Marco got up, Luna was having another nightmare like just now. Marco lay beside her, as his left elbow prompted him up as support. His hand wondered around her hair, as he carefully caressed it. 

'The hell I'm doing?! I-i just can't..I feel the need to protect her with everything I got..' Marco thought as his fingers began twirling around her red crimson hair.
