The treehouse
Chapter 1
In between the Holmes and Watson estates, there stood a great oak tree, marking the centre of the two plots of land. This tree, with a small series of planks and sticks forming a crude room, had been made into a home away from home to two children. These particular children were the son and daughter of the owners of the land around them, and their names were Corvus Holmes and Luna Watson. The two children were sat in their 'treehouse', as per usual, talking about their time at school.
"Did you hear about Desmond and Lucy?" Luna asked in her tiny voice.
"Desmond was cheating on her with Amelia. It'd been going on for about two months." Corvus replied, whilst staring into the autumn sunset.
"Oh..." Luna sadly returned.
"How'd you figure it out this time?" She sighed, preparing for a lecture.
"Desmond always seemed to say to Lucy that he had detention, and that was enough to see he had something to hide."
Lucy looked confused, like her father when Corvus' would speak to him.
"How do you know that?"
"Easy. I'm there every other day."
Corvus then smiled, and continued.
"I also saw him and Amelia walk to the sheds a lot, and not come back until registration. I also noticed another common factor between the two."
"What's that?" Luna then inquired, as per usual.
"Both of them had orange juice around their mouths."
"So?"
Corvus then grinned proudly.
"Lucy is allergic to oranges."
Luna looked blank for a second, then suddenly exclaimed loudly:
"Oh yeah!" There was a few seconds worth of silence, before she then said; "Lucy didn't actually say how she found out..." And looked at her friend accusingly.
"Ah, well, um..." Corvus then started backing up. Luna walked right up to him, and started to giggle, sending the two of them into hysterical laughter. The two then sat back down, and carried on chatting.
"Did you see the new kid?" Luna started to ask, but quickly remarked: "of course you did. What do you think of him?"
"Orphan. Troubles in his last school. Probably going to be bullied about his height." Corvus had noted already.
"How'd you know he's an- never mind, I don't wanna know."
"What did you think?" Corvus asked politely.
"He's cute..." She seemed to be embarrassed about it.
"Forget I asked. Did you catch his name?"
Luna had to think for a moment, and then remembered.
"Lucan. Lucan Moriarty."
