Selene Goddess of the Moon

MARTHA'S POV

I am now with Valerie on the way to her house.

"I'm glad you said yes Mar,"

She smilingly said.

"It's just a dinner and nothing more; I can still attend to my personal errands"

I said. I don't know if I am guilty of Ms. Selene or just trying to defend myself. "Good thing that Ms. Selene doesn't have any appointments tonight right?" She said.

"Yup and I carefully checked on it, she didn't even bother when I told her about this dinner"

I explained.

"I see, anyway, I am sorry earlier about what I told you. It wasn't really my ideal confession, but it leaves me no choice, though please, no pressure and don't get awkward, Mar"

She explains which I find her cute.

"Nope, there is nothing to worry about, I am here because I like it and I like honest and straightforward people, not every day will we meet one" I smilingly said.

On the way we really got along, we cracked some jokes and laughed out loud. She is really fun to be with. I mean I have never been this relaxed with people I just met, especially a woman, and what we have is no ordinary friendship, maybe because I am aware that she has a thing for me that I am not yet ready to bite.

A few minutes later, we were already at her apartment. It is nice and cozy and was designed exactly for her. I think I like her couch since it is wider than usual. I can almost lie down there.

"Hey please just feel at home, I will just going to prepare all the ingredients for my recipe,"

She said, and then got into her kitchen.

While she is now preparing our dinner, I just feel relaxed sitting on her couch, though I get bored a little, so I grab my cell phone and browse my social media.

I tried to see if Ms. Selene has social media, so I searched on it and there it is. I tried to take a sneak on her profile, though I can only see photos of places and some of her pictures. They aren't normal pictures. I guess she has been in modeling before, most of it as it seems to be posted in magazines. I can tell she was really gorgeous even before. It seems she never gets aged!

Every time I look at her face, there are times when my heart beats abnormally. Honestly, every time I am with her, I really feel safe. I remember when she defended me from Natasha. I mean no one stood up for me like that, when she pulled me away from her, my heart beat so fast, damn!! Why am I thinking about her right now? Damn it! Sometimes I really don't know what I am thinking whenever Ms. Selene is the topic.

While I am fighting myself, I am stunned by Valerie's presence in front of me.

"Hey, penny for your thoughts!"

She said which made me blush in awkwardness. I mean she always caught me disoriented!

"Gosh, you startle me!"

I said, trying to hide my blushed face. She just laughs at me and then offers her hand. She seems like inviting me now to the kitchen. She is guiding me slowly and I find it sweet in gesture.

On the table, I saw the candlelight and the food she had prepared. Damn, I guess I am blushing even more!

She then poured me some wine. I can say that this moment is perfect. I mean it is very relaxing like that moment... the moment I had with Ms. Selene.... shit! Why am I thinking about it again? Although it's a bit weird to think about, I must admit that time becomes unforgettable memories for me, though I am not aware but only tonight that she keeps entering into my thoughts.

I tried to erase that thought and just enjoy this night with Valerie.

SELENE'S POV

"Ma'am, I just have a dinner to attend tonight. I may not be able to go with you in the car going home"

Martha said, I already know whom she is going to be with, and it's with Valerie. I actually don't want to entertain my sudden reaction towards them. Sometimes I notice that I've been really unusual when it comes to Martha, and to cease that, I did not respond to Martha and just walked away from her.

From my car I manage to see Valerie and Martha driving away, staring at their car. I can't help to think about it, I have this little pissed emotion towards them, it's like I hate seeing Martha enjoying herself with someone. I let out a huge air and then close my eyes to calm myself; I try to erase this thought, damn! I just can't believe that I am somehow giving attention to this human nonsense stuff!

I started the engine of my car and then headed my way home. I poured a cup of blood and then drank it out.

While enjoying my glass of blood, I am staring at the moon here on my balcony when I remember the moment when Martha made me cry for the first time. I closed my eyes trying to remember Martha's warm hand touching my face. At that moment, I couldn't help it anymore. I changed my clothes, wore black jeans, and a black hoodie jacket, I jumped from roof to roof and quickly went to Valerie's house.

I am now standing on the roof of Valerie's neighborhood; I can listen to their conversation and can even see what they are doing.

I can't believe how Valerie treats Martha, like how on earth a woman can treat another woman like that. All my life I knew that only a man could do that and I felt pissed every time that Valerie looked Martha in the eyes.

I just stayed all night looking after them. A little later, I noticed two vehicle vans coming through, they stop at Valerie's house but what surprised me was when there was a bunch of black men entering the house and suddenly I heard Martha's voice shouting in fear.

I looked closely at what was going on, and then I saw the other black suited man hit Valerie in the head, which made her unconscious. Then they grab Martha and try to take her with them, damn, do what you guys want but never hurt Martha! At this part, I could no longer control it anymore, my eyes turned red, and then I put on my hoodie and jumped off the roof going to Valerie's house.

When I got to the house, I fought those few men waiting outside and then others on the inside. Martha was shocked to see me, though I knew that she couldn't recognize me, so I just waved my hand signaling Martha to escape and run for her life.

I fought the other men who remained at the house but I didn't know that the other few men were still chasing Martha.

So when I had already killed all the black men in Valerie's house, I moved quickly, trying to find where Martha was. More laps I took and I finally saw Martha still hunting by the other black suited men, so I jumped over their car to stand in their way. I held the front of the car to stop it but these bastards showered me with gunshots. I could see the surprise on their faces seeing me that I was still alive. I got inside the car and killed every black-suited man.

After slitting the neck of the last guy, I moved fast to get to Martha, who was still running for her life. Near the waiting shade, I saw how afraid and tired she was. I am now at the point where I really wanted to get near her, but it was impossible. I can't let Martha see me like this.

I stood in the same place looking at Martha, her body was shaking in fear and her feet were trembling while staring blankly at one corner, which made me feel mad inside. I couldn't even give her any warmth, damn! I feel like I hate this scene seeing her like that.

"Ughhh! Why don't you call someone for help? You can't stay there forever!"

I mumbled to myself as few words that I wanted to say to her but couldn't. While I was having that thought, I kind of felt relieved when she grabbed her phone from her pocket. "Finally she realized it", I said in a low voice.

Still looking at Martha from afar, I am stunned when my phone rings, and when I look at the caller. I was surprised, it was Martha calling....

I slowly answered the call.

"Ahm yeah?"

I composed myself before answering the call.

"M-Ma'am.... hmmm, hmmm... I need help.... will you help me please... sob*sob*?"

I felt so bad for her knowing I am actually here around her. I just responded to her while looking straight at her.

"Where are you?"

I asked.

"H-Here in the waiting shade near Barbara Village Caloocan,"

Martha said.

"Wait for me there, don't go anywhere,"

I said, then hurriedly flew back to my house and changed my clothes, then grabbed my car. I have no choice but to drive or else I will be compromised.

A few minutes later, I already saw Martha still sitting on the bench.

I had just breathed out some air before alighting from my car and slowly walked towards Martha when she saw me coming; I was shocked when she suddenly ran towards me and hugged me tightly.

I can't even move from my position when Martha hugs me. I didn't know what to do, but when I heard her crying, I could feel her pain. Right now, all I want to do at this moment is to ease that pain, without any thought, I move my arms and hug her back, I caress her head and let her burst into tears.

After a few minutes of hugging each other, Martha raised her face to look at me and I looked back at her, when our eyes met, I could see Martha's sad and tired eyes, her eyes full of tears and then she whispered.

"Thank you, Selene... you've always been my hero-"

She whispered in a soft voice but was cut off when she suddenly passed out in my arms.

I carried her and got into the car. I put a blanket on her while her little tears fell down her cheek, still unconscious. I wiped her tears and kissed her forehead.

"You are safe now"

I mumbled, staring at the sleeping Martha.
