Chapter Text
[2021]
Allen never felt happier than this when he got promoted into the Captain of the SWAT as such a young age as he was back then. “Twenty seven, and I’m a captain,” He tried hard to hide his grin. He couldn’t wait to tell his girlfriend about this. “Luna must’ve been proud, right?” His thought went wild while he shook the previous Captain’s hand.
“Luna, I’m home!” Allen shouted happily while putting his coat on the couch. “Victor, can you give me a hand, please?” Luna replied back weakly. She sounded like she was in pain. Allen knew that every time his girlfriend called him Victor, something must’ve been wrong.
“Vic-Victor, my water’s broke. The baby’s coming,” Luna hissed in pain while leaning towards her boyfriend. Being trained as a SWAT, Allen learned to keep calm at situations like this. He led her to his car, rushing to the hospital. He might not look worried, but Luna knew him well enough to realize that he was actually freaking out on the inside. “Vic, everything will be alright,” She tried to comfort him.
Being forced by the doctors to wait outside, Allen paced back and forth. He wanted to accompany her, because the baby is his kid too. He wanted to be in there, mentally supporting his beloved, to show her that he was there to witness their first born in her hands, showing her that he cared. He waited for about four hours, and then the doctors came out. Before he could say anything, the doctors shook their heads, expressing that sympathy, a thing that looked fake to Allen. His biggest nightmare came back to haunt him and shattered his cold heart.
They told him that Luna didn’t survive. “She lost too much blood,” One of them said. However, the baby, a girl, lived. “So that means I have to raise the fucking baby on my own?” Allen looked even more broken-hearted than before. As soon as he saw her, he was in so much pain, to see that she looked so much like Luna.
A baby girl with the appearance of her mother, she is a redhead with light green eyes. “Do you have a name for her?” A nurse approached him. Without even thinking twice, Allen said her name. Shadow Allen.
I named you Shadow, because that’s a perfect description of who you are. You were the one who took her from me. The shadow that took my moon away, took away my only source of light in the black night. My life wouldn’t be the same without her. I was forced to live in darkness from now on, with you under my wing. The cold-hearted Victor Allen that lived with a shadow of his angel.
I was not there for her.
And now I lost everything.
