sighed and nodded. I saw Luna light up happily. “I’m going to show you your room!” she said.
I got up silently and followed I saw her brother tense when I got near him. We left the kitchen and she showed me a room. She pointed to the next room and said, “That one is my brothers. The next one next to it is the bathroom and mine is the one on the other side of it. That one here,” she said pointing to the two rooms on the other side of my room, “those are spares like the other two next to my room.”
I nodded and opened the door to my new room. The wall paper was blue, the carpet was pink, and the bed was white. There was a closet on the right wall and a dresser on the left. The bed was on the far wall in front of a window. I saw a table near the bed with a clock that said it was two o clock. There wasn’t much, but it was better then I got at Ruby’s there I had a bed I had to curl up to sleep on it was small in the closet.
“Do you like it?” she asked.
“Its nice,” I muttered little upset that her brother doesn’t really like me. “I wander if he even wants me here,” I thought to myself, and Luna hugged me and skipped back to the kitchen. I stretched and yawned. Of course I was tired. I never knew why but fear always made me tired. I laid in bed and drifted to sleep and I woke up when I heard knocking on my door. I got up and opened it. Luna stood there looking at me.
“Most people say “Come in” you know?” she giggled and I shrugged and limped back to sit on the bed. She sat next to me and looked at the closet. I looked at the clock it said it was five o clock. “You like my brother don’t you?” she asked softly. I didn’t answer I just looked down at my hands. “Its okay. He likes you, but he just doesn’t know how to show it.”
I looked up at her. “Really?” I asked hopeful.
“Yep. Lets go to my room,” she said getting up, and I limped after her having trouble because she was skipping faster then I could limp. Her room was black and red her bed looked like fire which looked cool. Her closet was small and her clock was black her bed was on the left side and the closet on the right. There were also some beanbag chairs in the middle, they were red.
For four hours we styled each other’s hair, talked, and messed around. Luna was painting my nails when I started drifting to sleep. When I woke up I was being carried. I was only half awake and I couldn’t think clearly so I just kept my eyes closed waiting to fall asleep.
“I don’t know how this happened…” Luna’s brother muttered setting me gently in my bed sitting next to me. “I don’t know if its fate or if its from Luna watching you, but I don’t know what to do. I’m just afraid to hurt you. According to Luna I’m failing that two. I just don’t know what to do anymore.”
Suddenly I felt the bed shift and I peeked to see him laying next to me. He looked up at the ceiling then I closed my eyes again and the bed shifted again. Before I had time to look I felt his warm breath on my neck. I felt his hand hold mine and I was trying not to smile. My heart was pounding and my throat felt dry.
I heard the spring move as he lifted a little and then I felt his warm lips on mine. Then I fainted. When I woke up and he was gone. The memory came back and my cheeks turned red hot and I giggled happily. I looked at the clock it was one in the morning and I felt wide awake. I guess from him kissing me was the reason why I couldn’t sleep. I decided I would go out and walk around until I was sleepy.
I went to the door and it was slightly open so I slipped out and didn’t shut it all the way. I saw a lot of trees so I paid attention to where I was going so I wouldn’t get lost. Then I saw a blue bird its leg caught in a vine bush. So I stopped it from struggling and quickly released its leg by pulling the vine which snapped easily. Just as I got up with the bird a cat flew by where it was.
I looked shocked as the bird flew away and landed on my head. “Thanks. I would have been cat food if it wasn’t for you,” the bird said, and I jumped in shock, “here when you need help just blow this whistle.” A blue whistle dropped into my hand with a bird carving. Then the bird flew away.
I put the whistle in my pocket still very confused. I shook my head and started back, but something flew at me. I laid there with a snarling beast bigger then any wolf or dog I’ve ever seen. Its hind legs were on my legs. I was really scared.
It sat on my legs and pushed its front paws into my arms and howled at the full moon. I looked at it. The beast was brown with a black muzzle and a torn right ear.
I looked at the full moon and I heard growls and I saw pairs on yellow eyes everywhere. “It called its pack… I’m going to die. So what are they waiting for?” I thought to myself at the wolf howling into the sky then all the wolves howled into the night sky.
I waited for them to stop and just eat me for what seemed to me to be hours of endless howling. Then Luna and her brother ran up and the howling stop. “Are they going to eat all of us!?” I wandered in fear.
“No!” her brother yelled, and the beast looked frightened and confused. The beast got off of me.
“What the?” I asked.
“Sorry about our dogs,” Luna said helping me up. I tried to move my legs, but I couldn’t. “How long have you been out here?”
“Depends on what time it is,” I said.
“One thirty in the morning,” her brother said.
“Then I’ve been out here for thirty minutes,” I replied.
Her brother picked me up and Luna ran ahead. He walked with me in his arms because I couldn’t move my legs. “What were you thinking?” he asked staring ahead.
“I couldn’t sleep so I thought I should take a walk around and maybe I would get tired,” I mumbled sadly afraid he was mad at me.
No one said a word Luna had opened the door and went to bed. He walked me in my room and set me on my bed I went under the covers and he left without looking at me. Once the house was completely silent a soft sob slipped out and tears rolled down my cheeks.. “He hates me now. Why do I mess up everything…” I thought before I fell asleep crying.
I woke up from being lightly pushed. Luna’s brother stood over me I wasn’t in my room I saw Ruby’s house instead. We were outside the door and I was in my cloths I wore before I meet Luna and her brother. “We agreed you’d be happier and safer here,” he whispered pulling me up and knocked on the door and ran into the woods very fast.
I was in my closet room very sore finishing up my chores. It has been a week since I got back and I’ve finally finished my punishment for running away. Then someone knocked on the door. I got up and lipped to the front door and opened it. I saw the two guys from the woods. “Oh, Amy they have bought you and you won’t be coming back here ever again,” Ruby said, and the guys smiled evilly.
The Birds
The one with blonde hair grabbed my arm and roughly pulled me towards them. I heard the door slam shut and I was being pulled along with them. I tried to keep up, but my ankle was still healing. “Hey, look she couldn’t get away if she wanted to!” the guy with brown hair said laughing.
“What do you mean?” the guy with blonde hair asked, and he looked at my ankle and saw it was wrapped up and he laughed letting me go. They both laughed. I moved my arms to my side and felt a lump in my pocket and I saw the blue whistle with the bird carving on it. They got up and saw it and reached for it. I backed away and blew the whistle.
They grabbed my arms and the guy with brown hair yelled, “what is that?!” He pointed to a big flock of birds coming straight at us.
“Drop the girl and get out of here!” the blonde guy yelled, and the threw me hard on the ground and they ran for their lives.
I heard cheers among the birds that surrounded me. One picked up the whistle and gave it to me from the ground. They helped me up and the leader the biggest one sat on my shoulder. “Thanks,” I said. Petting the leader and he seemed to of enjoyed it.
“Anytime!” he yelled, and they flew up and left. “And yet I still don’t believe it that birds can talk, but if it keeps danger away I guess I’ll take the weird idea,” I said.
I looked back at the house and I knew I wasn’t suppose to go back to Ruby. “I’m on my own,” I whispered through tears. I turned around and started limping away. Soon after awhile limping in the woods it started getting dark I was having troubles seeing and I kept tripping and scraping myself on trees. I was able to make a moss bed in a cave and I managed to sleep and I woke up from hearing a loud pound on the cave walls deeper in the cave like someone punching a wall. Then I heard foot steps still barely awake.
I heard a voice. “There you are Jake,” a familiar female said. I tried to place where I’ve heard it from, but I was coming up blank.
“Just leave me alone!” Jake yelled.
“Calm down,” she said fear in her voice.
“Shut up Luna! I will never calm down!” he yelled angrily.
Then I realized that was Luna’s voice. Then I realized her brother’s name was Jake. “Why are you even crying?” she asked. I looked at the wall and I noticed the way to go deeper in the cave.
“Amy is dead!” he yelled, and I heard sobbing.
“What how-” she started to ask.
“She was killed by the evil blue birds. They swarmed her and she’s gone! And its all my fault…” he interrupted crying.
“Well how-” she started to ask another question again.
“I went back after I saw the swam and their was nothing left. She’s dead. DEAD!!!!!” he yelled interrupting her again.
“Its not-” she started to say something again.
“It is my fault. I put her back at her old home and now she’s gone. Gone…” he interrupted again. I heard soft sobbing and I got up to tell him I was alright, but I hit my head on a low stalagmite and it fell shattering on the ground. I was hit with the pebbles that came off the shattered
