"Come," Pinhead said.
Moonstar looked up at her first soulmate. He had offered a hand to her while she was listening to a playlist she only reserves for when she was feeling confused or overwhelmed by her emotions. Moonstar knew where he was going since he held the Lament Configuration. They were going to Hell, into the Laybrinth.
"To the garden?" Moonstar asked.
"Yes," Pinhead said. "You need to get away for a while. Vittorio, Optimus, and Face are caring for the children."
"Alright," Moonstar said. "Let's go."
Pinhead opened the Lament Configuration, leading the way into the Labyrinth and straight into his secret garden. Moonstar could never get over the fact of how beautiful it was. The perfect gothic garden with dark colored plants and flowers, all ones she had seen on Earth and others that she had never seen before, probably native plants of Hell or a hybrid. Pinhead brought her over to his piano in the corner, both sitting on the bench.
Moonstar absolutely loved when he played the piano. He started to play a dark tune. Moonstar leaned against his arm as he played, watching the way he was fingering the keys on the piano. She closed her eyes, listening to the music play through the air.
"Tell me what's wrong," Pinhead said, continuing to play.
"You already know," Moonstar said.
"It always helps you when you talk about it," Pinhead reminded her. "Let me hear it from your voice."
"It's this thing with Ratchet again. The other Ratchet, not the one with us. I'm still feeling him through the bond. The same with Orion," Moonstar confessed. "But... I know that if I look for them, sire and the others will get really mad at me again. And sire will leave me since I would be pushing him away. It's already been said to me a lot about how disrespectful I am to him when I go looking for them."
"Do you still continue to feel them?" Pinhead asked.
"It goes in and out. I feel them stronger when I get those memories when I pass out," said Moonstar. "I'm still seeing memories. When I start to feel really, really tired, that's when I see more of them. So, I just fall asleep and see what there is to be shown to me. If I try to resist, then the urge to sleep gets stronger until I can't resist."
"What does your heart tell you to do?" Pinhead asked.
"I want to go look for them. I know what I am seeing. You know as well. But... I don't want to go looking at the same time. They'll just get mad at me again," Moonstar said. "And I hate when they get mad at me. Cause then I know they get disappointed. And the disappointment from sire is the worst feeling I can get. I don't like to disappoint him."
"Then do what you must," Pinhead said. "Whatever you do, I will support you."
"I don't think I should," Moonstar said after a moment. "It's for the best, even though I want to. It's just better if I don't. They won't get mad at me that way."
Moonstar's voice was getting quieter as she spoke, almost to a whisper for that last part. Pinhead looked at her, finishing the song he had composed. He brought her into his lap, pressing a kiss to her lips. She felt the soft leather cladding his thumb wipe away the tears on her face. She hadn't realized she was crying. She buried her face in his neck, sobbing softly as he rubbed her back. He knew it was her PTSD acting up. He could feel her fear of what would happen if she did look for them, even if it was the right thing to do. He would stay by her side and support her. If she didn't want to go look, very well then.
"I've got you, my Dark Angel," Pinhead whispered.
"Can you keep playing, please?" Moonstar asked.
"Of course," he said.
Moonstar moved back to sit next to him, watching and listening as he played some more on the piano of songs that he made. It was hauntingly beautiful that fit the garden well. The more she watched his fingers however, the more she felt aroused. Pinhead smirked, playing the last few notes before picking her up again, leading her to a stone bed with soft blankets and pillows on it. He laid her down, hovering over her. The Cenobite leaned down, kissing her deeply as he settled between her legs. Moonstar wrapped a leg around his hips and pulled him in closer.
"I love you for eternity," Moonstar whispered.
"I love you, forever and all eternity," Pinhead said. "Strip for me and put on a show."
Moonstar shivered at his words. He always knew the best way to distract her. She breathed in deeply to calm her racing her. She felt the nudges again through the bonds she held. She carefully nudged back but didn't get a response. The bonds were fractured and needed to be renewed to get the full feeling. She couldn't feel them currently but knew they would return and nudge again. It made her wonder where they were at and what was happening to them. But she knew she needed to stay there. She had to be the good little girl that obeyed. She couldn't lose her sire. A kiss brought her out of her thoughts when she had paused in what she was doing. She smiled, concentrating everything on Pinhead now. She would worry about the bonds later and the nudges. For now, she needed to forget.
