Hello people! This is my first story on , and I really hope that you guys would enjoy it! I am quite new to this website as I usually only use it for reading, and I am not really the document type of person either. I usually post stories on the simpler websites where they give you a blank page and you just type it up there.
Anyway, I'm rambling. On with the story!
Prologue: Bitten
Luna Walker and her older brother Jay were at a nearby park, not far from their house, playing ball. Catching the ball, Jay sprinted towards Luna with his arms held high, ready to throw, only to trip over a large rock. The ball, flung out of his hands when he used them to break his fall, rolled into the nearby forest.
Jay quickly picked himself up from his fallen position, and dusted himself off. Luna frowned lightly, gazing into the forest, at the spot the ball had disappeared to.
"You should get the ball, Jay," Luna stated in her soft, melodic voice, turning to face her brother. "We just brought it, and it was quite expensive too, for our family's budget. Mum and dad would be displeased."
Jay furrowed his eyebrows, not wanting to get the ball, and feigned hurt. "I-I can't. My knees are sore from when I just fell down." He said, scrunching his face up in pain.
Luna, having the kindest and purest heart, bought into her brother's lie. "It's fine." She said, a kind, loving smile graced upon her angelic appearance. "I'll get it. Siblings help each other, right?" Her pale, blue eyes gazing at her older brother fondly.
Jay smiled a strained smile, trying to push away the guilt that was eating him away inside. "Thank you. I appreciate it."
Luna smiled one last time, before running off into the forest, the rough direction that the ball had gone. Pushing branches away from her face, she squinted her eyes, looking out for any sign of white in the brown and green forest. Finally, she spotted the thin outline of the ball. She reached out to pick it up, when a venomous looking snake slithered out of the bushes that it was camouflaged in. Her eyes widened as the snake lunged. The snake, which she had identified as the Great Devourer, slithered away, leaving her in the forest, clutching her hand to her chest as small drops of poison leaked out through the two holes on the back of her hand.
Recognizing what the poison could do to a person, she barely had the time to cry out for help before she was was falling to the ground, drifting into darkness, having been brutally stripped of her consciousness.
Half an hour later she was found by her parents, lying on the ground in a small pool of her own blood. Jay, standing to the side of the incident, stared at the scene, horrified.
That was the day when a new evil welcomed itself in Luna's heart. Four year old Luna had her innocence taken away, and it was in the hands of her fourteen year old brother, Jay.
