Okay then, since the prologue was so short (like many of these chapters might be) I have decided to give you the first chapter as well.

Now before we continue, I would just like everyone to know that even though I started writing this by the 8th episode, the story starts a few days before "Breach", which I believe is episode three.

Also, because I'm not sure how much time passes between each episode, and since Luna isn't really going to be involved in every one and with every character, the time span between chapters may be a little off from the show. Like if I make it seem like some episodes are separated by a few chapters or something (just ignore that if you already understood and I'm just confusing you more).

This is mostly because I don't want Luna and Lukas' relationship to seem rushed, especially because Lukas just doesn't seem like the guy to fall in love quickly, and also cause he doesn't show up in every episode.

Okay, enough of that.

Chapter One: New

The sound of a car door slamming startled her out of thoughts. She heard a snort before her sister's voice reached her ears. "Sorry, Luna,"

The way Carmen spoke to her younger sister, one would think she was talking to a germ. Luna was used to it though.

Turning her heard towards her sisters side of the car, she could "see" Carmen's silhouette surrounded by a cloud of muddied red. Good. That meant that she was just as upset about the move as her. Luna turned her head to hide her smirk, her forehead pressed against the window.

Finally, not even her mother's "golden child" was getting her way. So long as Carmen was miserable, she was just a bit happier.

Luna didn't even get why they were moving anyways. They were perfectly fine living in Indiana, so what was so special about this Gates place? Did it have some program for the blind? She mentally snorted at that idea. Yeah right, she thought. As if her parents would ever do some thing like this just for her.

The sound of the car door opening again caused a tinny smile to appear on Luna's face. She listened as Carmen and her cousin Leah shuffled around until the latter girl was sitting right next to Luna.

She absolutely adored her older cousin, and vise-versa. They weren't joined at the hip or anything, but they had formed a special bond over time. Leah was always looking out for her cousin, but knew when to give her space and Luna appreciated that. Her cousin knew how much she hated being treated like a toddler, so she treated her like a normal person – so much so that she sometimes forgot to worn her about on-coming walls.

Leah was also the only one who knew about Luna's 'sight' – how she could see any living thing by their aura. To her, people and other living organisms where silhouettes against a cloud of color and emotions. She kept it a secret to her whole family, not wanting to be the freak among freaks – she was already the black sheep.

But she was surprised that her mother hadn't figured it out though. After all, it was her half of the family where the three girls got their 'other' sides from. Shows how much attention she shows her blind daughter!

"You look madder than a bull with a stick shoved up his ass," Leah giggled, probably talking to Carmen.

Luna pressed her lips together to keep from laughing, knowing that her sister could barely tolerate their cousin. Her mood was some-what less bitter now with Leah's bright yellow-green energy washing over her. That was another great thing about her cousin – her constant happy-go-lucky mood always seemed to calm her.

Luna didn't know how she did it, keeping up such a positive attitude. Even when her mother's sister and brother-in-law died, Leah had put on such a strong facade, that even her empath cousin barely picked up the underlining of depression in her bright, 'happy' aura.

It was only when Luna confronted her about hiding her grief, did Leah finally let the floodgate loose. The pain in her voice as she recalled what had happened and the sickening gray color that her aura took on was too much for Luna, but she still stayed. They stayed in her room as she held and comforted the older girl until they both fell asleep. After that night, a sort of bond began growing between them, and as they got closer, Luna trusted Leah enough to tell her all her secrets. It wasn't long before Leah's smiles were real again, and Luna thought that things could only get better.

She sighed again, thinking of how wrong she was, and mused over their current situation.

A few weeks ago, her parents invited a man named Frank Buckley over for dinner. Frank had told them about the Gates, a gated community that he owned, and how he thought it would be a perfect place for a family as 'special' as their own to live in. She'd had the fleeting suspicion that he new her family's secret, but never got the chance to find out because her parents had sent the three of them up to their rooms.

So now, after two weeks of her parents going back and forth, moving their furniture, clothes, etc., into their 'new home', they were leaving the neighborhood that Luna had been raised in, bringing whatever was left to bring with them. When the girls heard the news about the move, they each reacted differently on separate levels.

Carmen was furious. She had to leave her "whole entire existence behind," as she had put it. Carmen was the most popular girl in their old school. She was captain of the cheerleaders, and had been dating the star quarterback. With her light brown, almost blonde hair, and chocolate brown eyes, she was the stereotypical queen bee, and Luna's worst nightmare.

Leah didn't really seem to care about moving – though Luna could feel the relief she felt. She figured it was because she was dying for a change, a chance to trade her painful past for a clean slate. Every one knew Leah here, so they all pitied her when they found out about her parents. She just wanted that all to go away, and for people to stop feeling sorry for her.

Although Luna wouldn't of minded a fresh start as well, she had it worse off then even Carmen – as usual. She didn't really have any kind of reputation in her old school, or any friends to leave behind, but if one thought about it, she'd been the one to get the shortest end of the stick.

She may have been miserable in her old school, but at least it was familiar to her. It was one of those schools that taught grades kindergarten through 12th, so Luna had had years to become acquainted with where everything was. The same with her house. She grew up in that house, so she'd had her whole life to learn where every nook and cranny was. She could walk around every room without any help and avoid running into any furniture. That had been the one thing her parents had done for her – keep everything in the same place for the past fifteen years.

But now they were moving, leaving all that was familiar to her behind. They may as well just send her to hell already. Now, she'll need someone to help and guide her around. She'd have to worry about running into things and not knowing where stuff was. She could end up lost and alone. Or, even worse, they'll make her use a white cane. She mentally shuddered at that thought.

She already hated being blind, with people staring at her, pitying her, and treating her like some helpless toddler. Getting a cane, or even a seeing-eye-dog, to her, would be like submitting to her disability. Not everyone could tell she was blind, but if they saw her with a white stick or a dog on a harness, they would, and things would just be worse for her.

The sound of the SUV starting up made her jump. When did her parents even get in? She felt the vehicle jerk backwards as her dad reversed out of their once-drive way, before his voice filled the car. "So, you ladies excited yet?"

The smile was back on Luna's lips. She'll admit, her dad may neglect the fact that his youngest child is blind, but she loved him anyway. He was like her second rock, her first being Leah. When ever she got in it with her mother or fight with Carmen, he'd be there for her and listen to her side of then story. He loved his little girl, even if his wife didn't.

"You betcha, Tio Leo!" Leah happily replied.

Carmen's anger flared, and Luna didn't need to see to know that her sister was sending a death glare towards the back of her father's head.

Leo looked back at Luna through the rear view mirror. "What about you, mija?"

She shrugged, giving him the silent treatment as punishment for making them move. He pouted, though it was wasted on her. "Aw, come on Lulu," He said, using the nickname that everyone but him stopped using after she turned ten, "You know you can't stay mad at me. It'll be okay. You'll like this place, I promise,"

"It doesn't matter if she likes it or not!" Carmen finally yelled, and Luna rolled her eyes. She'd been waiting for her sister to burst, just to get it over with already. "She didn't have a life here. Leah and I are the one's leaving everything behind. What did I do to deserve thi-"

"There's a place downtown

where the freaks all come around

It's a whole in the wall, its

a dirty free for all"

Luna hid her smirk again as her dad suddenly cranked up the radio, and Carmen's rant was cut off by Kesha's Take it Off. (A/N: Hehe, I was writing her rant when that song came on)

"Ugh!" Carmen screamed over the music.

Leah pressed her head into Luna's shoulder, not even trying to hide her laughter.

Anna scowled, at her husband and niece before turning the radio off completely. "That's enough!" She commanded. She turned her head to look at Carmen and smiled sweetly. "I'm so sorry, mi niña, but its for the best. Anyway, I'm sure that you'll be more than qualified to join the Gates Academy cheer leading squad." Then she finished with a smirk, "And I bet there will be plenty of cute boys for you to try your charm on."

Luna scoffed, causing her mother to turn in her direction and glare at her. "And I expect for you to behave yourself and stay out of trouble." Luna frowned, her mother's darkened mood making her want to squirm, "I don't want you ruining you sister or Lee lee's reputation."

Her mother turned back around and Luna rolled her eyes. It's not like anyone would even notice her, so how could she ruin any reputation? She lost herself in her thoughts again, thinking about, and dreading, their new life at the Gates. Leaning back in her seat, she listened as her father turned the radio back on. Within a few minutes, she'd drifted off to the soft opening of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream.

"You think I'm pretty

without any make up on

You think I'm funny, when

I tell the punch line wrong

I know you get me, So

I let my walls come down

down..."

And, cut! I hope you liked these two chapters, and that you'll review at least one of them. I do not own either of the two songs mentioned in this chapter, I simply added them because they were playing as I was writing and I thought they'd be a nice touch.

Now, I would just like you to know that if I do not receive at least five reviews by next week, I will not continue posting. I will try to post every week (so a new chapter for each episode), but if I start to lag behind, do not panic. I am planning on finishing this story, even if it means gluing my laptop to my lap!(Pun intended!)

So review!
