Crescent by Luka Lee (android based ebook reader .txt) 📖

There was only thing that was running through my mind when it happened. ‘This can’t be happening, I love him.’ As I stared down at my dead boyfriends body. I couldn’t believe this happened. We were so close to figuring out the case too, and then this had to happen. One shot, one kill. We should’ve see this. Should’ve known.

I covered my mouth, chocking on a sob. This isn’t happening, I closed my eyes as sapphire blue tears ran down my cheeks. I heard the police start gathering around my boyfriends body blocking off the area for investigation.

My name is David. S Power,

I’m an eighteen year old Crescent agent, and this is just the beginning of my long story. My boyfriend, who I loved and watched being murdered was Elijah Grace. He had been my best friend for years until we got together as lovers a year ago. He too was an Crescent agent and was in my group. Our overseers had problems with separating us, we were better than the rest of the other agents and even better when we worked together.

Crescent was a spy unit, it was for only those that had what Crescent needed, and was hard to get into. Years of training and exercise went with this job, but it was completely worth the whole thing.

“Mr. ?” One of the policeman walked up to me, “Are you going to be okay?”

“Yeah....” I whispered, looking at him holding his stern gaze.

“My name is Rick, and we have to bring you in for questioning tomorrow about this okay?” He asked. I nodded then looked away to the wrapped up body of Eli .

“I’ll miss you buddy.” I whispered, then spun on my heel and walked out on a mission to find, who had killed Eli. I brushed my fingers through my vibrant dark sapphire blue hair that matched my royal blue eyes. I was born with the blue hair and the blue eyes. I was what you would call a dark water elemental. I had every control over water. As for Eli he had control over light fire. His eyes were an orange topaz color and his hair was a very light pink.

We live on a planet that is close to Terra which is billions of lightyears away from where we live, but unlike humans we know about them mostly because our planet is a lot older that the human race and the world is a lot bigger.

I flipped out my phone and looked down at it then typed in the numbers and called my boss. It rang for a while then I heard him pick up.

“Hello?” Dawnik questioned, when he picked up.

“Hi, I have bad news.” I said, my voice cold.

“What is it?”

“Agent Eli was killed, and I don’t who did is, but I’m not coming home until I find out sir.”

“Oh my, I’m so sorry. I wouldn’t know what to feel is Gracie was killed.” He sympathized. I didn’t need that right now, I needed to get over it, although the pain in my chest was keeping itself known to me.

“Yeah. So I’m only coming back for a day then I’m leaving tomorrow.” I told him, I heard him sigh.

“Alright, do as you wish Dave. Just don’t do anything stupid. “ Dawnik sighed, “If I find out you have died then I don’t know what I’m going to do because you two were my best.”

“Yes sir.” I said then hung-up , ending our conversation before he could say anything else to me. I slipped the phone in my pocket and closed my eyes against the suns rays that were coming through the clouds.

Why is it that everytime something bad happens then sun comes out when it ends? I sighed, maybe it’s because the sun gods are telling us that something better will happen for this to make up for the horrible thing that had happened. Because life must go on, even if you don’t want to join it and go on with your life.  

I looked down at Eli’s flame necklace he had given me before he died, he had told me that’ life will go on with out me, but Davie. I love you. Don’t forget that someone loved you and someone will always will. Someone will take over my job and love you as much as I loved you....Just...Just don’t be sad.... I ....love you....’ That was what he said to me just before he died. Eli had so much strength just before that. Why couldn’t his heart hold up enough for me to bring him to a hospital? Why did this have to happen to someone I love. My last part of my family?

The rest of my family had already died before I was old enough to remember them, that is why I was taken into Crescent along with Eli, who was my only roommate.

I stared at the necklace, I had one similar, but it was a dark sapphire blue elemental stone shaped like a teardrop. His was a ruby in the shape of a small flame, I finally put it over my head and felt it warm me, reminding me that Eli was always going to be watching me through the clouds. It made me feel at peace. Although I needed to find his killer so that I can be completely at peace.

“Eli.” I stared up at the sun, which pained my sensitive eyes, “ I’ll avenge you.”

I turned and jumped on my black hover board. Then left the scene.

When I got back to the crescent mansion, I headed up to my room trying not to be noticed by any of my old friends that knew of Eli and I. Sadly my luck sucked today because I found our friend Matt.

“I heard about Eli.” Matt started. I stopped him from continuing.

“Stop.” I bit my lip and looked down. “Please just leave me alone.”

Matt stood up from the bed and stepped over to me putting his hand on my shoulder. “Don’t push me away David.” He looked into my Sapphire eyes with his emerald green ones. “I know how close he was to you.”

“I...” I was lost for words, I pursed my lips trying to reign in my emotions.

“I also heard that you’re going to try to find the killer.” He said, “ By yourself? David really?”

“Yes really.” I stared at him now bored, I shrugged off his arm, “ Go to Charles. I’m sure he’s upset about his brother eh?”

“No. David I don’t want you to go alone, take someone with you.” Matt said, I shook my head and started to pack my items.

“No, I don’t need help. I work alone unless...” I trailed off closing my eyes against the pain.

“Unless it’s with Eli right?” Matt questioned, “Fine work alone, just be safe and text me when you have time kay ?”

I looked up from what I was doing and gave him a nod, then turned back to what I was doing before I was interrupted. “I promise Matt. I’m the best in our agency, so if anyone can hunt down the son-of -a -bitch then it’s me. I’m the one they took a friend, brother and lover from Matt. They can’t hide, if they try. I’ll find them and kill them dammit.” I growled thinking about it, and started coming up with ideas of how slowly and painful I’m going make that experience for them is going to be.

It’s like that saying. ‘ you can hide, but you can’t run.’

“Da- Starr!” I heard Charles, Eli’s little brother walk in mine and Eli’s room that we shared for seven years.  I looked at him and nodded. “Starr... Don’t let hate cloud your actions, but avenge Eli, and come back safe. Okay ?”

“Yes.” I said simply, and gave him a reassuring smile, “I’m leaving  after dinner Charlie.”

“Okay, but take this.” Charlie pulled a fire sword from behind him, “It was Eli’s, he’d want you to have it for safety.”

I nodded and took it, I examined it then pulled it from its blood red sheath. It reminded me of that one sword from Eragon. You know the dragon book?Yeah that’s it. The red dragon sword that Murtagh took from his little brother Eragon. Sorry for the spoiler. I smiled down at it, Eli loved those books and he admired Murtagh who, as Eli said was a lot hotter and more badass than Eragon the whiny boy, who didn’t get the fucking elf girl at the end of Inhairitance.

“Eli of course would have a sword fashioned as his idols.” I laughed and looked at Charlie who laughed as well, I stepped up to him and pulled him into a hug. “Love you, Charlie. Keep safe, and thankyou for being a little brother I never had.”

“No problem,” Charlie mumbled against my chest as he slowly wrapped his arms around my waist. “I love you too, why don’t I make you. Your favorite dinner before you leave.”

“I’d love that.” I kissed his cheek then pulled away. I looked at Matt, who was smiling with sadness in his eyes. I would be leaving for I don’t know how long, and they would have to take up me and Eli’s positions to cover up for us. I am very certain that Charlie and Matt could do that. They were a perfect team as was me and Eli.

Charlie was a redhead with emerald green eyes. He was a mix of a wind elemental and a fire. Matt was a wind elemental, you could tell because of his light green hair and dark emerald eyes that held much thought and strength.

I looked at Matt and sighed. “I’ll miss you Matt.” I said and stepped over a random piece of clothing that Eli and I had discarded this morning. No we weren’t doing THAT, we were just getting dressed into day clothes. The morning had started out so normal and now... Now it was anything, but normal.

I stumbled and Matt pulled me into a hug, “ I will miss you too, just don’t lose your sense of thought and keep up your strength.”

“Will do.” I pulled away and collected my electronics and slid my car keys into my pocket, then zipped up the three bags. I picked them up and walked past Matt heading down the stairs to put the things in the trunk of my car.

I got to the garage and walked toward my black car that still had wheels unlike the rest of my mates, who had hover cars. I liked antiques so that’s why I still had a car with wheels. It wasn’t illegal, it only was if those old cars couldn’t drive straight. I put my things in the back of my trunk and shut it.

“David!” I turned to the voice, and looked at Ava, who had her brown hair into a bun with chopsticks keeping it up. I always though she was adorable like
