I woke up the next day thinking that what had happened yesterday had just been a strange dream. However when I looked for my poetry book it wasn't in my bag so I knew that it real and that I would have to visit Edward some time soon or else he might think that I had abandoned him for some reason.
"While I don't know if I'll be able to go today but I hope I can go sometime this week at least" I said to myself quietly since I was afraid that my aunt would hear me and ask what I was talking about since I don't know what she would do if she found out about my visit to the mansion, let alone how she would react to Edward.
"While it's too early to get up and get breakfast right now so I might as well watch an episode of Doctor Who first" I said as I turned on the TV in my room and turned it to BBC America. There wasn't much on TV for me besides this, History, Science, Travel, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and occasionally SCIFI. But I really didn't care since I preferred to do other things as well.
The episode of Doctor Who turned out to be one of my favorites "The Empty Child" which is always a fantastic episode, sadly however the second part wasn't on next instead it was "Star Trek The next Generation". I don't mind it, but I would rather watch "Doctor Who", "Sherlock", "Kyle XY", or "Supernatural".
I decided it was time to get breakfast so I went down and looked at what was in the fridge. There wasn't much I could have eggs, bacon, toast, or pancakes. I just wanted a quick breakfast however so I just popped some bread in the toaster and grabbed the peanut butter and a glass of apple juice.
Just as I sat down to eat breakfast my aunt came downstairs in her nightgown much to my surprise since I figured that after yesterday she would be exhausted since Elliot can be a handful since he is full of energy.
"Good morning" I said as she sat down at the table and rubbed her eyes.
"Hello Luna" she said tiredly since Elliot is a handful at times especially when he is excited
"Aunt Sally? I have a question" I said never looking up from my toast as I picked up a piece to take a bite from it after spreading the peanut butter on it.
"Yes what is it dear" she said like she was curious about what I was about to ask
"Is it alright if I go up to the mansion today? I'm really curious about it and the legend about it" I said looking her in the eyes so that she could see that I was serious
"No I can't let you do that since it's such an old rundown place!" She said loudly as she jumped up from her seat at the table
"While I went up there yesterday and nothing happened to me" I said worried that she would ground me for going up there
"Was there anything up there?" she asked as she calmed down
"No its just a really nice place to relax" I said speaking the truth though I didn't tell her about Edward since she would probably freak out if she found out about him
"Okay but under one condition that you'll go to a regular school instead of that special school" she said which I didn't agree with but I would do anything to visit Edward so I agreed
"School starts in a few weeks just to warn you" she said quietly
"I want to visit the mansion so can I go after breakfast?" I said I took a sip of my orange juice.
"I don't see why not after getting that out of the way" she said with a smile on her face as she went to go wake Elliot for the day he would be attending day care when I started school.
Edward:
"When will she come back?" he whispered to himself as he looked over at the book she had left behind. He wanted to read some of the poems in it but he wasn't sure that he could open the book without damaging it due to his blades.
He careful went over to the book and looked at the nice dark brown leather cover with golden text on the front of the book that read "Poems Through the Ages" he managed to get the book open using a single finger to turn the pages. He managed to read one poem before he accidentally cut the book in half. He tried to put the book back like it was but he couldn't so he just hoped that Luna wouldn't yell at him.
He sat down in the corner where he had hid before just in case she was angry about the book. He started snipping his scissors out of fear while he waited…
Luna:
I ran up to the mansion since I was so happy that I didn't have to hide my visits from my aunt now. I figured that Edward would be outside tending to the topiary but he wasn't. She looked around on the first floor of the mansion but wasn't there. She started to climb up the stairs slowly so that she wouldn't frighten him.
When she got to the top of the stairs however she didn't see him. She went over to where she had left her book and much to her dismay she found that it had been cut up.
"Is he hiding since he accidentally did this?" she whispered quietly in case he was in the room. She heard sniping coming from the one corner as Edward slowly crawled out from where he was hiding.
"Edward did you try to read the book while I was gone?" I asked calmly since I didn't want to hurt his feelings too much.
"Yes" he said as he stopped moving his blades and started to tear up
"Its okay" I said as I touched one of his "hands" since I knew he didn't do it on purpose
"I only wanted to read some of the poems" he said as he flinched back from my touch
"While its not your fault that this happened, it would be mine for leaving the book here" I said quietly
"I should have been more careful though" he said as he looked down at the ground
"I have a way for you to read them though" I said as I saw that the pages were fine and just fell out of the book….
