Keeping her safe from the Dragons
Once upon a time there was a girl named Luna and a boy named Chris. They had no idea that either knew each other even existed until one day fate brought them together. So our story starts with Luna walking home one day from hanging with a friend she had her phone in her pocket and was listening to her iPod she was about to change the song when she ran into someone and they both fell down and her necklace fell off. It was her father’s dragon ring and she never took it off and she didn’t realize it fell off.
“Oh, I’m so sorry I wasn’t looking where I was going” Luna said pulling out her headphones
“No, it’s my fault I wasn’t looking where I was going” Chris said as they looked up at each other
“Oh, Hi” he said looking at her
“Hi, I’m Luna” she said as they stood up
“I’m Chris” he said as he extended his hand
“Nice to meet you” she said as she shook his hand
“Nice to meet you also” he said as they dropped hands
“Look I’m sorry, but I really have to go. So I’ll see you around sometime” she said as she walked home
“Yeah bye” he said that’s when he noticed the necklace and put it in his pocket and walked home.
Sorry to interrupt, but let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Luna which means moon in Spanish. I don’t know why my parents named me that but they did I’m a senior in high school which means I’m almost 18 and I’m going to go to college soon. I live with my mom and step dad Kyle in a little town called Stone Heaven, Maine and we live right on the river bank and we live on a horse farm, we have 3 horses and my baby is Midnight. I practically raised her from the time she was a colt. My dad left me and my mom years ago and for all I care he can stay away I never needed him in my life anyway.
The next morning when Luna got up her parents were already at work so she was home alone she brushed her hair and put it in a messy bun she was about to eat a bowl of cereal when there was a knock on the door.
‘Who could that be this early?’ she wondered as she went to open the door to find Chris standing there “Chris” she said as she looked down at what she was wearing sweat pants, a tank top and her snow boots.
Sorry to interrupt, but it’s my turn to tell you about me. My name is Christopher, but you can call me Chris. I live on my own and my mom lives down the road from me and my dad died just a little over a year ago. I’m 18 and I graduated high school last year and I’m taking a year off from college. I live in our little town of Stone Heaven, Maine since it’s just me I live in a small condo on the edge of the river across from Bridgetown, Maine. I can’t wait to leave this little town and get away from it all, but all that’s about to change. I also bought my own house with a barn and everything, I also help my mom make payments on her little house just right down the road from me.
“Hi” he said as he looked at her, blushing
“What are you doing here?” she asked looking back up at him
“Oh nothing, I was in the neighborhood and thought I’d stop by. May I come in?” he asked pointing inside
“Oh sure come on in” she said moving aside so he could enter “So how did you know where I lived?” she asked as she shut the door and turned to face him.
“I asked around town” he said as the stood in the threshold of the doorway
“Ah. So is there a reason why you stopped by? Not that I’m trying to kick you our or anything” she told him as she looked at him.
“I think when we ran into each other yesterday this fell off and I thought it might be yours” he said as he pulled out the necklace.
“Yes it is mine I guess I didn’t notice that it fell off thank you” she said as her hand went to her throat and found the necklace not there so she took it from him and give him a hug “Are you busy today?” she asked after they pulled away from each other.
“No I don’t think so why?” he asked looking at her
“I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me and watch movies today” she said looking at him
“Sure sounds like fun” he said as she smiled
“Okay, awesome. Would you like a tour?” she asked as they walked to the living room
“Sure” he said
“This is the living room and over there is the kitchen and then the dining room” she said pointing
“Wow that’s a big dining room” he said looking at it
“We only use it if we are hosting family dinners like Christmas or something” she said as they walked upstairs
“Ah” he said
“This is my toy room and that would be my mom’s new husband’s man cave. Yeah” she said pointing
“Wow that’s a lot of stuffed animals. I now know what to get you for gifts” he said as she laughed
“Yeah, I’m kind of obsessed” she said looking away
“I can see that” he said also laughing
“And down here is my room and my parents room” she said pointing as they walked into her room
“I like your posters” he said noticing she had posters and pictures of The Hunger Games, Beautiful Creatures, and Twilight among others.
“Thanks” she said as they walked back downstairs
“Were you in the middle of eating breakfast?” he asked noticing the cereal bowl
“Do you want anything? I kind of was yeah” she asked looking at him
“What do you have? Sure” he asked looking at her
“I have cereal, eggs, bacon and other normal breakfast foods” she said as she walked to the fridge
“I’ll have a bowl of cereal” he said as she handed him a bowl and a spoon and went to the cabin and got out the cereal choices after he poured his cereal they sat at the kitchen island and talked for a while. When they were done they walked to the living room and sat down on the couch.
“Wanna watch a movie?” she asked looking at him
“Sure sounds like fun do you have Netflix?” he asked looking at her
“Yeah” she said as they looked on Netflix for a movie to watch they finally settled on Footloose during the movie she started to get tired so he leaned back and she laid on his chest and fell asleep and soon after Chris also fell asleep. A couple hours later he woke up and found her laying on his chest.
“Luna, wake up” he said as she gently shook her until she was up
“Hey. Anyone tell you you’re really comfortable to sleep on?” she said as she looked into his eyes
“Not until now and thank you” he said as she crawled off him and sat at the other end of the couch and wrapped a blanket around herself.
“I liked the movie. Well the parts I was awake for” she said laughing
“Me too, hey Luna are you ever gonna tell me the story behind your dragon ring?” he asked looking at it around her neck
“It was my dad’s he gave it to me before he left” she said looking at it
“Is there a story behind why he left?” he asked looking back up at her
“No not really. I was really young when he left, I came home from school one day and everything of his was gone no note or anything he just packed up and left me and my mom. My mom got over it and eventually met Kyle they started dating and then my sophomore year of high school they got married and my dad was out of the picture for good” she said looking at the ground and didn’t notice that he had scooted closer to her.
“So your dad just left with no explanation?” he asked as she sat on the arm of the couch
“Pretty much, I texted him, but he would never tell me where he was he always said it was too dangerous for me to know. That was two years ago and here it is senior year and no word from my dad again” she said looking at him.
“That stinks” he said looking at her
“Yeah, it does, but I’m kind of over it though” she said looking at him
“So you’re a senior, huh?” he asked looking at her
“Yep I’m 18 too. How about you?” she asked looking at him
“I’m also 18, but I’m already graduated” he said as he sat his arms on either side of her legs
“Lucky” she said looking at him
“Yeah I guess I am, I’m glad I ran into you the other day” he said looking at her he was about to kiss her when her parents came home
“Honey, we’re home” Lily said as her and Kyle walked in and they walked to the kitchen
“Hey mom and Kyle” Luna said as her and Chris walked into the kitchen
“Hey honey, whose this?” Lily asked looking at Chris
“This is Chris he’s a friend of mine” she said looking at him
“Hi, Chris I’m Lily Luna’s mom and this is Kyle my husband” Lily said as they shook his hand
“Nice to meet you, Chris” Kyle said shaking his hand
“You too, sir” he said looking at him
“Honey, we are going to be having stake for dinner if Chris would like to stay” Lily said as they put groceries away.
“Yeah I would love to just let me call and ask my mom” he said as he pulled out his phone
“Okay we are going to go up to my room, call us when dinner is ready” she said as they walked upstairs to Luna’s room.
“Okay, honey” Lily said as she started dinner
“Hey, mom, I’m at a friend’s house and they invited me to dinner is that okay?” he asked as he walked into her room and she shut the door behind her “okay great yes I’ll be home before midnight love you too” he said as he hung up and put his phone back in his pocket.
“Your mom seems nice” she said as they sat down on her bed
“Yeah she is most of the time” he said looking at her
“She’s a mom so she’s just trying to protect you” she said looking at him
“Yeah I know” he said sighing “Hey I was wondering are you busy on Friday?” he asked looking up at her
“Um I don’t think so why?” she asked looking at him
“I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me?” he asked watching her eyes light up
“Yes I would love to go out with you” she said hugging him
“I was hoping you would say yes” he said as she pulled away and looked at him
“I also think I know the perfect spot of where we could go” she said looking at him
“Oh yeah and where would that be?” he asked looking at her
“I’m not gonna tell you” she said as they leaned in and his lips met hers there was a spark but she didn’t care she tangled her fingers in his hair and pulled him closer until he was on top of her he began kissing down her neck and she stopped him and sat up and turned away from him.
