"Catch me if you can, Day!" I called behind me, running into the small, not very thick, forest that was behind our house. Our parents let us play in it often, though at showed us the boundaries of the forest we weren't allowed to go without them present.
"Totally unfair, Luna! my brother called, running after me. "You've always been faster!" I keep running, getting faster, a huge smile on my face. I run, not paying attention to where I'm going since i know the forest we're allowed in like the back of my hand. i run, slowing down a bit to give my brother chance to catch up. Without realizing it, I run past the point we're not allows to go to alone. I speed up a little bit once I glance behind me, my brother about 4 yards away. After a couple more seconds of running I stop, resting my hands on top of my head like dad told us to do to catch out breath.
"Luna!" day calls, looking around for me and running up to me when he sees me. he smiles a little bit. I look around and frown confused. I'd never been in this part of the forest, at least not enough to know it by heart.
"Did we pass it?" i ask meaning our nods but smiles and keeps walking, farther in. "Day, we gotta go back"I say, slowly following him, looking around to keep track of land marks so we can get back.
"Your a chicken, Night" He says, using his nickname for me. I soon catch up and walking next to him. Suddenly there was a loud growling noise and We saw about 3 wolf men creatures (Erasers) in front of us. we both took a step backwards, terrified. they lunged at us but we spun around, running back in the direction of home.
Suddenly as we run, i trip over an gnarled tree root and my ankle got stuck in the process, breaking it. "Day! help!" i cried out, tears spilling down my cheeks as he ran past, skidding to a stop as he doubled back to help me. I was laying on my back, my leg stuck almost to my knee under the trunk, my ankle and leg bleeding from the tree bark cutting me. I was surprised my ankle was the only thing broken, but too scared to really pay attention. Day grabbed my leg and pulled it as hard as he could, but was unable to get it free. the wolf men are right behind us now . He looks between me and them. "Both of us can't escape. Only one of us." i say as they slowly get closer. "Save yourself Day. Leave me. I'll be ok. I'll find you."
he shakes his head. "I'm not leaving you,Luna, I can't I'd rather Die than be without you, my twin sister, my best friend, and most of all, my other half." he says.
"I feel the same way, Day, but I would do anything to save you over myself. I'll find you, I'll do anything and whatever i can to find you and Papa and Dad, Even if I die before I can. I swear on the river Styx." I say, knowing that in the mythology if you break your oath bad stuff can and will happen to you.
The last thing I remember is Day doing what I told him to do: save himself and the wolf people take me and lock me in a crate. That's when I pass out
