Who are you?
“Well then, it is settled,” Andrew smiled at the baby, “I will be expecting your wedding invitation card,” he said, without waiting for a reply, he dragged Mark and Peter, Philip followed him, and the four of them left the forest.
“Wedding cards?” Ella raised her brows, staring at Cory, confusion written on her face.
“Yes wedding cards, we will get married,” Cory replied, looking very happy and excited.
“But….. ”
“Don’t mind them, they call me gay because I don’t have a woman friend like them, ” Cory replied, sadness clouding his eyes.
“I will marry you, but first, you have to propose to me properly,” Ella said with a friendly smile on her face.
“Really?” Cory looked surprised and confused.
“Yes, ” Ella said in her sweet melodious voice.
Cory stared at her, tears rolling out of his eyes.
Cory and Ella stared at each other lovingly.
“Yap! ” the baby girl squirmed in delight.
Cory carefully carried the baby girl in his arms, staring at her with love and affection. Ella moves closer to him, and he wraps one of his arms around her waist lovingly.
“She is so beautiful, what should we name her?” Cory asked his newly wedded wife.
“Let’s name her Luna, Luna Queen,” Ella proposed, smiling at her lucky charm.
“That is a fine name, Luna Queen Biber, ” Cory muttered, a smile appeared on his face.
“Yes, I am also Ella Biber,” Ella smiled, happy at the thought of having a new family.
“And I am Cory Biber, father to Luna Queen Biber, and husband to Ella Biber,” Cory said softly, and Ella giggled excitedly; butterflies filled her belly.
“Let’s go home, then we will talk more about each other,” Cory said, holding his wife’s hand, he carefully led her out of the dark forest.
As they left, a loud piercing noise was made.
The Village was very dark and the villagers locked their doors, the village was quiet and it looked empty.
“Let’s hurry,” Cory whispered to Ella, and they both quickened their pace.
When they got to the front of a small hut, Cory pushed the door, he carefully handed over baby Luna to Ella.
Cory put on a small lamp, lighting up the dark small room. Although the room was small, it still looked well-arranged and neat.
A small bed was on the floor, and beside the bed, a cricket chair stood. The window was closed tightly.
Beside the door, an old wardrobe was neatly arranged.
“The kitchen is by that corner, I know this room is too small, but we can manage for today,” Cory faltered, feeling embarrassed of his small self-contained room.
“It’s perfect and thanks, ” Ella appreciated her savior, a gentle smile was on her face.
“You are welcome; let’s go in, we need to lock the door, ” Cory informed his wife, and they both entered his small room and locked the doors.
“A basket is inside the kitchen, we can make a small bed for her,” Cory suggested, pointing his hands at the kitchen.
“I will go get it, ” Ella quickly entered his kitchen.
The kitchen was small; there was a small stove, a food bucket, a small washing hand base, a big water jar, two pots, two plates, two spoons, and two forks.
Two dead rabbits were placed on the washing hand base, and the basket was beside the kitchen’s door.
Ella carried the basket and left the kitchen.
“What do you think?” Cory asked, two beautiful wrappers were beside him, “Luna will sleep in a cozy basket, ” he said feeling proud of himself.
“She is so lucky, ” Ella smiled at Cory.
The basket was placed beside the bed, Cory decorated the basket, and he carefully arranged the basket with the wrappers.
After making sure the basket was safe, he gently placed Luna Queen inside.
“Where is the blanket we found her in? ” Cory asked his wife.
“It’s here, ” Ella gently handed the blanket to him.
“I think we should keep her chain for her, tomorrow we’ll return it to her, ” Ella suggested, and without waiting for a response she took the chain and pecked Luna.
“Okay, ” Cory agreed, he also covered the baby girl with her blanket.
“I will sleep on the floor, you can make use of the bed,” Cory told Ella lightly.
“No need for that, we should both manage the bed, it’s your house,” Ella replied.
She later went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When Ella came out of the bathroom, she saw Cory, he was sleeping like a log of wood.
“He looks tired, ” she whispered melodiously.
Ella carefully walked over to Luna’s side, She looked at the little girl’s sleeping face in delight.
* ’cause the world will bow down at your feet, and the wolves will obey you, all the creatures; night and day will smile, at your pure and holy heart,
Now, little Luna, bedtime calls, your nannies are wishing you well,
Hush baby, our future Luna, a descendant of the moon goddess, go, travel, go to the manor,
Our billionaire Luna Queen, future Luna, rescuer of the wolves.*
Ella sang with her melodious low voice, Baby Luna smiled in her sleep, indeed she was having a good dream.
Ella’s eyes glowed at the sleeping baby and she gently pecked her cheeks. When she turned her back, she was shocked to see Cory staring at her in horror.
“Who are you?! ” an unknown voice thundered.
