The Chosen two, Adurna and kveykva.

A/N: Here's the next chapter as promised :) it's a bit more interesting than the last one, but... i'll let you be the judge of that. I'm also sorry that it's smaller than the last chapter, but if I had put more into this chapter it would have just overwhelmed it. I'm writing the next chapter as we speak and will probably post it over the next few days. Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with the Inheritance cycle, but do own my characters and ideas. Enough of my jabbering, on with the show.
Chapter 2 Voices and Dreams.
Luna had tried to stay awake for the journey, but the swaying of the car was making her drowsier by the minute. Giving in to temptation, she placed her head against the headrest and drifted off to sleep.
Luna was awakened by a cold hard surface pressed against her face. Knowing this was probably the window, she shuffled around trying to get into a more comfy position, to allow sleep to take over once more.
Unable to get back to sleep, Luna took the time trying to see if they were still moving, but soon realised that she was lying down. Why was she lying down? Where was she? Deciding it was time for answers, she opened her eyes and sat up, looking around for any clues that might answer her questions.
What she saw though did quite the opposite, and just caused more questions to pop into her head. All Luna could see, was darkness. Luna closed and opened her eyes multiple times, just to make sure they really were open. They were. Luna was surrounded by the darkness.
Panicking a little at the current situation she was in, Luna tried to get up. But realised that would be silly, since she wouldn't be able to see where she was going anyway, and sat back down again. "This is only a dream, it has to be" Luna whispered to herself. She pinched her arm to wake herself up, "ow! That hurt, oh this can't be happening" rubbing her arm at the burning pain, she started to really panic now and rocked back and forth.
Calm down child, all is well.
In the distance, a bright light shone through the darkness, brushing it away like it was dirt. It brought a feeling of warmth and safety. All of Luna's previous thoughts of panic were washed away and replaced by curiosity. The light got closer, until it was about ten ft away from were Luna was sat. Then it spoke.
I can sense your presence is close; I've been waiting a long time for you Luna, your time is coming and you must be ready.
Shocked that the light was addressing her, Luna got a bit tongue tied then the moment passed as soon as it arrived and she replied.
"What are you talking about? And how do you know my name?"
Luna got up on her feet, so she could get a better look at the light, which moved so that it was still on eye level with her.
There isn't time for questions, but you will get your answers soon. Trust me Luna.
"What do you mean? Who are you? What are you? Where can I find you?"
Trust me Luna, all will be reviled in time. Just trust me Luna and trust yourself.
Luna was getting very confused now, what was this thing and what did it mean? Because as far as she could see, she was talking to a ball of light!
"I don't know what you're talking about. Is this a dream? Am I imagining this?"
The ball of light made a chuckling sound and started to hover up and down, probably from laughter.
Ha-ha yes and no, like I said you will learn with time, I will contact you again when the time is right. Goodbye Luna.
As the last word echoed into the darkness, the light started to retreat the way it came. Luna reached forward with her hand and tried to grab the light before it got away, but it just retreated faster.
"Wait no don't go, please tell me more!"
Luna was running after it now, she didn't want it to leave. Oddly it made her feel safe in this environment. The light was just a spec in the distance now; its echoes could only just be heard.
Bye Luna. Luna. Luna...LUNA!
It disappeared from sight and then all was black.
"LUNA! Wake up were here, Luna!" Kyle shouted as he shook Luna's arm gently. Luna slowly opened her eyes so she could get used to the sudden bright light that filled them, she turned her head slowly taking in her surroundings. True to his words they were indeed at their destination, the proof being the sign above an entrance that in big gold letters read, 'Caves of the Beor Mountains'.
"Come on sleepy head get up, were all waiting on you" peter said with a laugh and got out of the car, Barbara and Luna's grandma followed suit.
"Come on sis, it's going to be fun you'll see" Kyle said with a smile and also got out of the car, running after the others.
Luna unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car and walked over to her brother, who was waving at her to hurry up. Was that all a dream? But it seemed so real, like that thing was right there next to me. Oh well it's to be expected with all the books I read, of course I'm going to have weird dreams. Luna eventually caught up to the others, who were paying admission and getting special equipment to venture into the caves. As Luna was putting on her helmet and fluorescent jacket, her earlier thought were miles away and soon forgotten.
What was that all about? Well if you want to find out you will have to come back, and read the next chapter when I update. Please read and review, I want to know what I did well and how to make it better. Oh and thanks for the kind words FantasyFlinger and Galby'sapimp, that's right, I didn't forget about you two :) until next time.
