Chapter Text
Every two months there was a blood moon.
Ever time there was a blood moon. It meant trouble.
Because on the night of the blood moon. The angels and demons turned against each other. It was a blood bath between heaven and hell.
Everyone in the world was either an angel or demon. You found out what you were when you turned thirteen, but mainly it ran in bloodlines.
Angels and demons were meant to hate each other, to never associate with the other kind. Well back in the olden days that's how it was, now everyone got along a lot better, but they they still didn't have much contract with the other kind. Except on blood moons.
Y/n was 17, she found out she was an angel 4 years ago and has never talked to a demon since. Every blood moon she hides away and her angel parents lock her in the basement for her own safety. But she can feel it. The blood in her veins rushing, adrenalin pumping, eyes flashing blue as she loses control and bangs on the door harshly. She can't control it, but nobody her age can.
It takes you over. The power from the moon. The angels and demons aren't themselves these nights. They only have one thing on their minds. Kill the other side.
Luke is also 17, when he found out he was a demon, he wasn't surprised due to his family also being demons but he wasn't particularly pleased. Demons weren't really the nicest people if you could even call then that. He hand cuffs himself to his bed frame, the curtains closed and window locked, the pane coated in extra thick glass, on the blood moon. Door dead bolted with a chair in front of it too just in case. He sits in the darkness till the dawn. He hears the screams, the thumps, the smashes, the bumps, the fights going on around him. His eyes glow red with anticipation, the red covering up his sky blue irises that look almost angelic. What a joke that is. He tries to get out of the cuffs but it just leads to blood running down his wrists.

It was now exactly one month since the last blood moon and one month till the next. People got on with their everyday normal lives like those nights of bloodlust and slaughter didn't happen.
"I have to what?!" Y/n exclaimed as she sat at the kitchen table with her mother.
"It's just a camp, Y/n. It's only for a month and a bit. It's important for everyone around your age to go," her mother explained to her.
"But I'll be there when there's a blood moon!" Y/n was angry. She couldn't believe what her mother was saying.
"You'll be safe. They will protect you. It's their job, they run the camp, they're specially qualified and trained. Heck, it'll probably be safer to be there than here on those nights," her mother reasoned.
"You know there's gonna be demons there right?" It was more of a statement than a question.
"I'm aware but you're going to be dealing with demons the rest of your life. This will get you more used to it," She smiled faintly at her daughter with eyes full of hope, faith and sadness.
Y/n didn't say anything more she just stood there.
"It'll be ok N/n. Trust me. No ones gonna hurt you."
"It's not me I'm worried about." Y/n said then left the room leaving her mother with a look of concern on her face.
*^*^*^*^*
"Luke!"
"Yes mum?" Luke said walking down the stairs in his house and into the kitchen where his mother was.
"You know the camp we were talking about-"
"Mum, I said I didn't want to go-"
"Luke! Honey shhh," Liz shushed him "I know, I do but just please. Do this for me. It's safer than here and apparently the next blood moon is gonna be worse than ever before. Please honey I need you to do this for me."
Luke sighed and thought for a moment, "fine," he eventually said. His mother smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Two days later they both arrived at the camp. There was rows and rows of chairs in the centre of the camp grounds where everyone was seated in front of a pedestal all the seats were positioned towards.
"Welcome everyone to Camp Crescent Moon. For the next month and 7 days you will be participating in particular activities ranging from mountain trails to learning to use your wings. There will be team building activities with mixed groups that are picked at random. Angels and demons have to get used to each other and being around the other. Me and my team are highly trained and will keep you all safe on the blood moon. We will also now be picking your groups that you will be working with other the next month, as I said before, it's at random, it will be mixed. Don't worry about it too much, just get to know these people, maybe you'll find the other side isn't so bad once you get to know them," the lady speaker then got down from the podium she had stood on and the other people, the woman's 'team' started calling names out of who was in what group.
"Y/n L/n." Y/n stood from her seat and walked to the end of then line behind 'her group' and the man calling out the names for her group.
The next name was called "Luke Hemmings."
