I woke up early that morning for no reason. As everyday of my life, I did my bed, brushed my teeth, bathed, and dressed for training. I walked out of my room and headed for the kitchen when I heard Moon and Sol talking in the living room. I stopped and slid close to the doorway. I heard them laughing and talking about something I had no clue of. Suddenly I heard them start to talk about me. Sol said some things and they began to laugh again. Why couldn't I have been born with bat ears? I pushed my ear closer to the wall and tried my best to make out the words. All I heard was Sol say 'Luna', 'like', 'do', and 'you'. I figured that they were talking about me. I heard Moon laugh and Sol shoved him playfully. I smiled. They were finally getting along. I stood up, thinking I had heard enough and walked in.
"Hi guys!!" I greeted them.
"Hi Luna." They said and Sol shoved Moon again. They laughed again and then stopped to look at me. I raised my eyebrow at them then left.
As I was in the kitchen. I heard them laugh so many times that I felt like running in there with a frying pan in my hand like in the comedy movies. I laughed at the thought. I decided to make breakfast and began preparing food. I finished and I still heard them laughing. What was so damn funny?!! I then decided to walk in the room. Sol shoved Moon again and they laughed again. What had they been talking about? I just starred at them like they were crazy. They kept shoving each other so I was thinking about what they might have said about me using the words I had heard earlier. I looked back at them and they were just starring at me. Sol began to laugh and Moon just kept his emotionless face. I starred at Moon now. He saw that I was starring so we both blushed and looked away. Sol shoved Moon again so I decided to leave.

Moon's P.O.V
"Come on Moon! Tell me!!" Sol yelled at me for the millionth time since yesterday. Sure I had told him my story but I didn't tell him that I loved her. I mean liked...Whatever.
"No." I told him. He shoved me again and started all over again. He was so curious that that made me laugh.
"Come on, Moon!! I promise not to tell." He promised again. I sighed. We did this last time.
"You'll just have to wait until I can figure out my own feelings." I said and walked out of the room.
"I'll find out!! I swear!!" I heard him yell. I smirked and kept walking.
I decided to head out into the forest again. I climbed up the tree again and cried out to Rain. Surely he'd be able to hear. I kept crying out until I was too tired to. Why hasn't he come yet? Is he even alive? He just has to be. I laid back against the tree and closed my eyes. Out of nowhere, I began to think about Luna. I opened my eyes quickly and sighed. I was attracted to her and I had to admit it. But why her? Why her of all other human females? What did she have or do that was just attracting me? I sighed heavily and closed my eyes again. I relaxed and just allowed the images of her invade my mind. I remembered the time when I was first with her and her soft voice. Just her warm and caring touch on my face told me that she wouldn't harm me. I suddenly groaned when I remembered myself on her lap as she stroked my hair. I shot up and shook my head to get rid of the thoughts. How could I think like that about my own pupil? I growled at myself for doing such a thing.
I heard something beneath the tree now. I looked down and saw a boy about my age with long black hair and red eyes. He wore a red shirt and black baggy pants. He had on flat pointed ankle-high boots like me. I smiled down at him. This was Rain.

Luna's P.O.V
I lay at my bed, starring at the ceiling. I thought about all these new feelings I had for Moon. Why was this happening? And why to me? We were so close to the Wars and then this just happens. What if I can't play at the Games because I'm not strong? What if I tell Moon these feelings and he has the same, and then we start doing other things instead of training? I shook my head. How could I think such things of him? He wasn't a low rank like me. He was a knight, one of the highest ranks of a Chess Piece. But what about me? I was probably not even a pawn. I felt like crying at the thought. Instead I stood up and looked out my window. That's when I remembered last night. Moon said that we started my new training with the arm he had given me. I looked down at my wrist. The rod was there. I smiled. At least he cared about me being a high rank and my safety.
I began to run out the door of my bedroom when I saw something. Sol wasn't with Moon anymore. Sol was sitting by the couch alone. I walked up to him and saw a look of confusion on his face. He must be thinking.
"Sol?" I asked. He looked up and smiled.
"Yes Luna?" He asked. I sat down next to him and smiled at him.
"Where is Moon? Wasn't he with you awhile ago?" I asked. I saw him smirk. Why was everyone smirking now?
"What would you care? It's not like you command his life." Sol said rudely. I frowned at him now.
"I didn't mean it like that. I was just worried." I told him and stood.
"Listen Luna. Moon is a man and he can't be commanded. He has his mind and his body. Why don't you just creep out of his mind since he can't have anything to do with you?" Sol said and walked away. What did he mean?
"What did I do to deserve that?" I asked myself. I sat down at the couch and began to cry. Why was Sol so mean all of a sudden?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moon's P.O.V
"Rain, what brings you here?" I asked him as I jumped off the tree. We shook hands and he smiled.
"As if you don't know. You've been calling me for days on end. Something happened?" He asked, worried for a minute.
"I just needed to ask you something that has been on my mind since I met someone." I told him. He was worried now.
"Spill." He said. I felt unconfortable asking him this but I had to know.
"Rain? Can our kind actually love humans?" I asked him. As expected his eyes widened. He had a confused look on his face.
"Where did that come out of?" He asked. I smiled weakly. "Oh no, Moon. Don't tell me you like one of...of...of them?!!!" I just knew it. He hated humans.
"I don't know. She was so kind and caring to me that...I just don't know!!" I told him. He was angry now.
"Moon, how could you just let your heart be tricked like that by a mere human female?" He asked. I looked at him and glared.
"She isn't a mere human female at all!! She's different. And my heart wasn't tricked. I have the feeling that she likes me like I do her." I told him.
"Moon! Don't feel such things then! She can never love you if she knew who you really were!" Rain yelled at me. I had forgotten about that. I didn't tell Luna that I belonged to this strange blood.
"Rain, whatever you do when you meet her, you just can't tell her who I really am!!" I yelled at him.
"Then how do you know that she has the same feelings if she doesn't know who you really are?!!" Rain yelled. He was just confusing me now.
"She knows I can transform. She just doesn't know about my real blood." I told him. He sighed heavily and looked back at me.
"Our real parents would be proud but the tribe, our wolf parents,...and me, we're just... humiliated." Rain said as he transformed and ran off back into the forest. I looked at the ground as I felt a burning sensation in my stomach. I told myself that Rain wasn't the boss of me even though he was older. I was the maker of my future and only I could change otherwise. I began to walk back into the house when I saw Luna in the living room, crying.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luna's P.O.V
I was crying now as hard as ever. I had never cried like this before but why had Sol said that? I didn't stop crying even after I felt someone with me. I didn't open my eyes to see who it was. I wanted to be alone. Soon that person moved to sit with me. The person hugged me and I burried my face into its shoulder. I took in the scent and immediately recognized that it was Moon. I hugged Moon and kept crying. He stroked my hair to calm me. I calmed down awhile later and looked up at Moon. He was starring at me. As soon as I looked into his dark purple eyes, I had no reason to be sad anymore. He just took my sadness away when I saw him. I smiled brightly at him. He smiled back and wiped my tears from my eyes. I blushed slightly and looked down still with my smile on. Moon and I kept hugging each other but seperated when we heard someone coming. I looked and saw that it was Sol with the twins. They stopped argueing as soon as they saw us sitting there. They chuckled and I saw that Sol was angry now.
"I thought you would do what I say, and I ment it, Luna." Sol told me.
I felt tears well up in my eyes again. Sol left and the twins followed awhile later. I burst and began to cry again. Moon did the same thing. I stopped later on but didn't move away from Moon or look at him. I just kept my face in his shoulder as he kept stroking my hair. Many minutes past and I didn't move. I was thinking about what Sol could have ment. I knew one thing though. He didn't like the idea of me liking my tutor. I stopped my thinking and looked at Moon. His eyes were full of worry and care. I wanted to cry but I didn't let my tears pass. Instead I bit my lip and hard at that matter. I stood up and grabbed Moon's hand. I lead him to my room where I burst into tears again. My tears were mixed with the blood that had come from my lip. Moon saw and held me close to him. I kept crying.
Sooner or later I stopped and bit my lip harder for being so weak. And worse was that Moon had seen how weak I really was. Just a simple sentence had me crying like crazy. More blood poured out my wound. I looked up at Moon and saw him tilt his head like a confused pup. I smiled while still biting my lip. I saw his hand come up and he caressed my cheek. I blushed at his actions. His thumb came to my lip and traced the gash that was bleeding. I didn't even flinch at his touch. His hand was so soft, that I didn't even feel the pain. He removed his hand and he looked at the blood. He looked back at me and frowned. I looked up at him and he looked upset. I blushed as he came close to my face. I saw a slight blush on his cheeks but both our blushes faded when our lips touched. My hands wrapped around his neck as his went around my waist.
Just then, Sol burst in through the door. We seperated and I bit my lip again. I saw Moon bite his too. That was probably only to hide the blood that his spread on his lip when we kissed. I blushed as I looked at Sol. His eyes were wide and he looked at me with disgust. He looked at Moon and glared. I was trembling at what they would do to each other. I pulled my knees to me and dug my face in them. I began to cry again. I wanted Sol to leave and Moon to hug me again. I needed his touch with me. I bit harder at my lip because of my anger that blood began to drip onto my hands and knees. I heard Sol begin to scream at Moon now and Moon just sat there and said nothing. I felt his stare on me. Soon I heard Sol slam the door. Seconds later I felt Moon hug me again. I cried on his chest as blood fell onto his shirt. I pulled him to me and didn't care if Sol came in again. I needed Moon right now.
I stopped my sobs and sucked on my lip. It was still bleeding and I knew that it looked ugly. I should have stopped biting as soon as I felt it bleed. I was a fool. I looked at Moon and saw him frowning. Just the way he looked at me made me want to cry. We stayed in silence and we heard howls from outside. Moon closed his eyes and sighed. He looked at the window as he stood up. He began to walk to the window when I tugged on his wrist. He stopped and looked back at me. I starred at him. I shook my head slowly and grabbed his hand. Again we heard howls and he looked back at the window. I stood and hugged him. He hugged me back then grabbed my hand back. We walked to the window and I saw a black wolf with red eyes standing only yards away from the tree Moon always went to at night. Moon tugged at me and lead me out the window. Moon took me to the wolf and I clutched to Moon's shirt as the wolf began to bark and growl wildly. I was afraid.
