The Beginning of it All
There is always and underlying story you find when you read between the lines.
An eight year old girl walked cautiously through the Wayless Wood. She was hoping to find someone and avoid others. She breathed a sigh of relief as the sun dropped beyond the horizon. The dark came quickly. She loved the settling dark as the stars seemed to gather around her and then vanish into the sky. She smiled brightly as the noon slowly rose to dance across the sky. She turned around suddenly staring straight into a bright fireball.
"Luna," came a man's voice. "What are you doing here you know it's no place for you?"
"I know Dustfinger but the Adderhead and Capricorn called for me. I do not…"She couldn't say the rest for her mouth had been covered.
"Basta let her go!"
His hold on the girl became tighter. "NO!" As he said this a pale man with no emotion stepped up. Luna shivered against Basta.
"Capricorn I have the girl." The man only nodded.
A few minutes later a battle started and Luna was pushed roughly to the ground.
Meanwhile a man was reading from a book to his wife while their daughter played on the floor.
Suddenly everyone disappeared. Luna blinked and opened her mouth to scream. A woman now stood where the others had been. The woman looked bewildered and lost. Luna got up and walked tentatively towards the woman.
"H…Hello" The woman looked at her.
"Where am I?"
"The outskirts of Capricorn's Village."
Luna shifted uncomfortable then began to cry. The woman scared as she was felt bad for the child more then herself. She put her arms around the small girl to comfort her.
A few days later Luna found out that the woman's name was Teresa but she liked to call her Resa. They had fled Capricorn's village and Resa disguised herself as a male. Luna was like any typical other little girl save for a few random things that happened at night. So the pair looked like father and daughter. They were talking about one thing or another when Luna got a funny feeling and closed her eyes. When she opened them she was standing in an alley, with brightly colored houses on each side. She stumbled out of the alley and into the sun tears in her eyes.
Meanwhile Teresa sighed and wished she could be with the child. She knew however that if it was dark where Luna had ended up then she would not be scared or uncomfortable for long.
Luna staggered through the streets until someone grabbed her arm steadying her. She shivered and screamed.
"Shh, child I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to help you," came an kind older lady's voice.
She looked at the lady and nodded. He eyes finally getting used to the brightness. She took the lady's hand and walked with her.
"What is your name young one?"
"Luna"
"Do you have a last name?"
"I don't know. My parents died not to long after I was born. All anyone has ever called me is Luna."
The lady nodded as she stopped at a house. She opened the door and lead Luna inside. The house was huge there was another door leading somewhere else and books on a table. Luna ran to the table picking up the book as the older lady looked on smiling.
"So you read. Let's get you something to eat."
Luna only nodded following the lady into the kitchen.
"I'm Amy by the way."
"Nice to meet you and thank you." Luna curtsied as she ended her words.
